Most people see gambling as an easy way to make money and this thought makes them lose what they already have. You click one button, you either double your money or lose it all. The easiest way to make or lose money. It doesn't take any skills, it doesn't any work, it only takes a second. That's why it is appealing to many people.
This is absolutely true there are many or some gamblers that rely their lives by making money on gambling which is very risky. There is no such guarantee that you can be able to earn money from gambling every single day, you will be a winner sometime and a loser at the same time. As a gambler I am practicing to myself to have a very strict limitation in my time and money spend in my gambling activities also I am doing it for fun and not that seriously with heavy reason why I am doing gambling.
Most people who rely on gambling do it either on sportsbooks or do it on poker. I do not know many people who rely on slots for their livelihood, that is not going to be easy to handle and I am sure most people would end up broke in few months, there is house edge there which would make sure that you end up losing all of it. Sportsbooks makes a tiny bit more sense, there is still a huge house edge there as well but at least if you are interested in the sports you would know who will win and who will lose, even sometimes get lucky.
The other day I said Hamilton will not leave Silverstone to Max and yeah there was a crash which made it easier for Hamilton to win that race, but I still won, while every book showed Max as the favourite, sometimes luck and knowledge gets together in a sportsbook and helps you earn money as well, I am quite sure poker has no house edge neither so that still works perfectly well.
