It is different when it comes involved money in gambling but yes, since you were a kid you involve in different types of gambling without knowing you that you start with gambling. I agree that gambling is a form of fun activity that should we practice and not to think it is a form of doing a source of income and hoping to have a quick rich.
I am a gambler and I have full control over it.
This is how we threaten gambling activity, we should have full control over it not just greediness.
I like gambling but I only gamble when I have spare money in my pocket.
