Well, as far as i believe you are right, one thing i have to tell you is that, sometimes, it's still very good to just live your live for today, enjoy it as much as you can and let tomorrow and whatever future we think we have fend for itself. don't get me wrong though, a man without a future is as good as doomed, for what can a man actually be living for if not for the future?, what i am saying in essence is that, in gambling most especially, there is actually no future if you ask me, gambling is not a career, neither is it a business, any responsible gambler should gamble for the now, for long term gambling can also mean loses for the gambler, for as we already know, a gambler stand a very high chance of losing money to the casino in the long term than in the short term.
The thing is that the future we all kill yourself for is now, so why should anyone deny themselves the good thing that be enjoyed just in preparation for the future, this is most definitely not good at all and we should be okay to actively involve ourselves in the presence as not to miss anything while waiting for the future that may never come.
Live the moment and let tomorrow take care of itself, we have to do our parts and leave the rest for the universe to complete its part.
Gambling is a just-moment fun event, and if anyone takes it as a long-term thing, it may have a very bad result on that individual well-being at some point, so we just have to take it for the moment and enjoy it by all means.
