I know everyone has played gambling and have experience the losses and the winnings. Some may have won life changing money from gambling while other may have lost their life savings through gambling.
It will be nice if everyone can tell if the gambling has been lucky for them or the gambling have made their life even more miserable than before ?
People come in gambling having big dreams, have you seen your dreams full filled or you have face the biggest nightmare of your life ?
I do not believe that gambling should be seen as either a life changing or life damaging experience. Such a viewpoint can be damaging in itself because you create expectations out of thin air. The reality is that the gambler himself/herself chooses whether or not their casino experience becomes a living nightmare or not. And it becomes a heavenly experience only for like 0.00000001% of people.
Those odds are not good enough to bet your life's savings away...
