People spend their time and money differently. Spending at the casino is not the worst way, because there is a microscopic chance to win, compensating for this time and money costs. If you enjoy this process, then it is no different from other pleasant activities. Someone enjoys visiting clubs, someone racing cars, and someone gambling. In each case, moderation is necessary, otherwise it will cease to bring pleasure, and then there is no point in doing it.
Yeah, it depends on the person. If you have a control when gambling and only see gambling as a way to get entertained then you won't think that you spend your money in a worst way. If you think the chance to win in gambling is too tiny then why waste time and money trying? But, I think it will also depend on the game and the odds you set. You cant always say that there is only a slim chance to win in gambling.
But still, this topic is about choosing an online casino, and therefore, I want to say that OP can find out about the best casinos in Gambling section and you to pay attention to those casinos in the topic of which there are the most discussions.
And that section can be found
here. Ann threads with most discussions are not an indication that a casino is the best, 1xbit for example. They already have 296 pages and over 5k of replies but most of it are just a complain about how scammy they are.
