It's not about the addiction here on this context provided that you realized that you're not gambling but rather making an investment, if your addiction on the kind of investment you're making is profitable to you and you make some good return from such addicted investment then there's no problem with that because it's not a waste of time and effort and you can behold the results evident in you, but getting addicted to what gives no results could be discouraging and serve a waste of time and money, therefore to this fact, if we are being served well in our addiction on the kind of investment we do, then that's a better way of being busy on something tangible than waste of time on what has no result.
