Gambling is better than shitcoins. At least it is fun.
LOL, I don't know how you can even compare the two.
In any case, if you don't want to gamble simple as that, even if the odds are enticing or even if the bookies or who ever run the illegal gambling den will let you win. They know how to play on people's mentality, but once you are hook it's very hard to get out. So the first lesson is that if you can't take gambling responsible then stay away from it. Second is that you should not be greedy, if you win some and then stop and go home and enjoy the money that you have won. Otherwise you will be trap forever looking for the bigger win. And the more you play the more money you are going to lose in the long run.
