Me going home with empty pocket is not very entertaining at all. I don't think it would before majority of the people who has wife and kids. It may be for the rich who are not having money problems but finance is always the reason for wife and husbands quarrel, you get entertained in the casino but at home will not be entertaining.

The Chinese has distinctive look of things and gambling is among it but one reason gambling is ban in China is probably because gambling produces more dysfunctional families so they created an isolated place where only rich are able to gamble.

We share the same sentiments. Trying to try out your luck through gambling isn't really gonna work out fine everytime. The odds wouldn't be a hundred percent on your favor every single time you make a bet. There are probability in certain game that you would win or lose. Depending on your strategy, the rtp, and luck will be the basis of you either winning or losing. Not just entirely luck unless of course you are playing slots or roulette. But this game has also a greater chancr of winning inclined with the house, so, still, it's already altered. We're still talking about probability.

Gambling just to test your odds and degree of luckiness sounds absurd to me. Because if ever you belong to the poverty line, how would you even afford to do it without breaking your budget? For me, the necessities should be prioritized over a tradition if ever I were be in a culture that would require such, I will do my own ways.

Necessities should be prioritized against anything else. Before you go to satisfy your lust, make sure that you have already settled. All you need budgeting your money to balance whatever you think that you wanted to do with your life is always the priority. Unless you already suffering from gambling addiction, this kind of settlement is already hard to fix.

Especially if you are in the side or inline with poverty, the desire is to double your money each time possibilities can be done

but most of the time, instead of making a good win, it will go to the other side and you'll see yourself losing a lot.

when on the side of the road with poverty and become addicted to gambling, this will be an opportunity to continue playing without any control. everything will be at stake until there is nothing left, because they are sure to get a win. but in fact defeat dominates. no more rules for budgeting money because it's too addicted. and this can only be stopped by rehabilitation or there must also be a will from oneself. Psychologically this will disturb the mental and continue to be eager to play and sociologically it will disrupt social harmony so that no one cares and is reluctant to help gamblers from their addiction, usually people with a gambling addict background will be more aggressive or irritable and tend to commit acts of violence. criminals to earn money to gamble.

I personally dislike winner mentality in our global culture. I mean winning is surely awesome thing, everyone wants to be successful at anything including gambling. Although, is defeat killer thing? I personally like gambler mentality a bit because of it. It reminds me Rocky Balbao quote: "It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
I feel like this mentality can work even in gambling if you know what you are doing. But I can agree with your "addiction" arhument as well. My Rocky Balboa quote works in games where skill is more important than luck.
