Maybe it's asked before, still, it will help us a lot.
Why do you gamble?
Why do you do not invest that money instead?
Why you do not donate them?
Because you are bored?
Because you are looking for entertainment?
Because you are going after the big score?
Why?
I was thinking deep after I read your post. If all the money that I lost in gambling were being invested to crypto currencies, I am pretty sure that I am earning a huge profit by now.
But with all the mistakes that I made. I have no hard feelings to it because the main reason why I gamble is for past time only and I only gamble my extra money. That is why, I was not addicted to gambling. At first, I started gambling to NBA winners then poker comes next and I am not so sure if there will be more to come but if I will be bored again to these two, there is a big chance that I will look for another type of gambling.
