Gambling is a practice or activity of betting which involve staking or losing money and It all works with the law of probability while staking. There is a chance of winning and losing and it all comes with different stories. A story that can make one to either stop or continue gambling, someone success story can make an addict to go into debt in order to have his or her own success story. Hearing someone story should actually help you to learn on how the gambling works and also where or who we give these teachings to matters a lot.
That's what I also believe. We are able to discover about other people's betting patterns through their stories. At times, it might help us in picking up new skills that could lead to success. I don't see any negative impact in telling stories. Rather, I find it to be helpful.
