What are your examples of how gambling has positively impacted your lives, and how do these instances contrast with the common negative perceptions surrounding gambling?
People associate gambling with negative stuff because they get addicted so easily and it is indeed harmful when you overdo it. Drinking alcohol is also harmful to your body but you can get away with it for a long long time as long as you drink once a week or once a month or smth. Smoking is the same. You won't catch cancer just because you smoke a cig every month. If you do, smoking won't be the main cause. Now back to gambling, if you do it right, you might have fun and that's exactly how you should do it. If you are getting stressed while gambling then you must be doing it wrong. I see people going super mad while playing in real casinos, I have friends that go mad when their favorite team loses a game. It is all the same. If you are going to get angry when your favorite team loses a match, why watch it in the first place? Getting stressed and angry will shorten your life and that's the last thing you need.
