I don't have to deny it as I myself knows that ones you gamble, you are already a gambler.
Actually I am happy to call myself as a gambler as I believe gambling is not a negative thing and people who gamble are smart and knows how to take risk.
In gambling, I learn a lot, money management and discipline, so it's safe to say that gambling gives positive effect into my life.
I know the risk and I understand that I could lose more, of course because I've lose a lot of money in the past but that didn't stop me from gambling, what I did, I learn from my mistakes and I improve to become a discipline gambler.
