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?
I want to thank you OP for coming up with this comprehensive write-up on the good side of gambling. It is very common to see threads about gambling addiction and losses and one will begin to wonder if gambling brings only bad stories. Besides all the wonderful points you have stated I want to add that gambling can help to reduce boredom and depression. This was why there was an increase in online gambling during the covid 19. People had to engage in gambling because they were disconnected from friends and family. Also, I know some individuals who engage in gambling, especially physical casinos because it helps them to forget the events which are making them depressed.
