That is a good advice but we if we have an extra money and we want to bw happy then we can gamble 5% of our salary which is pretty good enough to prevent such addiction but fulfill our wants which is for fun. And also if we can control ourselves then we are a very wise gambler. Anyways i agree what you said above mate through inflation there's a chance that the price of everything we want is higher.
Yeah but what if you use 10% or 1%?
It doesn't really matter in the end, because gambling will not generate money for the vast majority of people.
Sure, one guy will be rich, but that's probably not you.
