Gambling for fun is good, gambling for income is a fatal mistake.
Our mindsets decides the formulation of gambling in our daily routines. Gambling for enjoyment does not need a lot of stress or work, and it is extremely simple to deal with. Nevertheless, gambling as a source of income is dangerous, with the consequences always resulting in debt or worse. Gambling as a source of income is absolutely not a good idea because it causes major damages that will liquidate our accounts without warning. gaming addicts are not simple to deal with; they are aggressive in dealing with most gambling circumstances.
Sometimes it is not in the will of the gambler to chose if they want to play totally for fun or for income. A gambler may decide to be playing for fun but some kind of things like addiction may push the person to be chasing money. Apart from gambling addiction, peer friends influence may make one start gambling for money.
But the real thing is that every gambler needs to have a job that brings money and not depend on gambling luck.
In my opinion, if one has friends who peer pressure one onto gambling more than we are comfortable with or even chase money on casinos, one needs to keep some distance from them as soon as possible, specially when we talk about gambling sessions.
That kind of people may not be actual friends, they could only be seeking to have entertainment watching others to wager money and gain amusement from the misfortune when one ends up losing all.
I would rather to have some friends which encouraged me to socialize or practice some sports.
