This question is always on my mind since then until now. I want to know the opinion of everyone here on this platform. I know that we have all different perception about gambling, so I respect what will be your point of view about that.

But to share my opinion, I consider gambling as a threat to gamblers. Yes, there are a lot of people who find happiness in gambling if and only if they can control their selves from this, but no matter how fun can gambling gives to you, the problem is still there, the addiction on it is always there, it grows day by day. There are so many disadvantages of being so addicted in gambling, one of which is forgetting your priority, spending your time to your family and your friend, you won't be able to more productive things than losing money, to the point that even you already lose and don't have enough money to play, you will make ways, there are times that you will ask a request to your friend to give you money as debt. You should be the one who controls the gamble and don't let the gamble control you.

if a person gamble just for fun like spending few hours and with 20 dollars a week or monthly, i consider it as a normal, for a person and just having fun but if you are spending more like hundreds and thousand a month or a week that's a different story, since its not healthy you may be in a big debt to bank and to a person without knowing and and the end it will became a threat so, it depends on what you are doing.

for a poor person yes 20 usd a week is enough or already huge enough but to the person that is a big earner , those 20 usd are nothing and wont be enough for them for a week . i see many gamblers complain that they loose 1k and above amounts within a week only , can you imagine that ? for me that was alot but for them no because they do afford it at the first place . if thats the only think that make them happy why not ? we cant bring the money on the other part when we leave this world so better if we spend them according to our liking .
