Why do we take the shittiest advice from our so-called friends when it comes to something as dumb as gambling? We're connection junkies. People are pack animals, wired to trust and belong. Our nature is lovely and foolish. Fitting in is preferable to making a smart choice

Gambling is about more than just earning or losing money. It depicts human life as a tumultuous dance of hope and misery. Every gamble is a tale of foolish optimism and risk-taking

Imagine changing our perspective. Instead than condemning gambling, why not use it for self-discovery? An ludicrous but informative mirror of our deepest wants, anxieties, strategies, and failures. We risk love, careers, and goals in this microcosm of life

control and choice are of course our own, I myself will not make suggestions that lead to something that will make things difficult for me in the future, as I said before, following a friend's advice that leads to difficulties is a mistake that can be said to be stupid if it is followed. the suggestion.
Indeed, gambling is not just about losing or winning, but our fate is determined and it depends on how we do it ourselves. The outcome that will happen depends on us, but it's not about winning or losing because it concerns those two things, I think it depends more on luck.

indeed, the perception that gambling to make money is a mistake and of course that must be changed, we must be able to change gambling to be fun with our own mindset that does not assume that we can make money by gambling for sure, as I said before above winning. it is determined by luck but with our fate it is up to us who have control in making decisions.

Emotional people always end up making the worst possible decisions in life. An example of this are people who spend their whole lives buying lottery tickets to win the big jackpot, but end up financing the lotteries so much that when you look back, it would have been better to have invested in a business or financed their child's college education.

It's one thing to play for fun and earn a few bucks every now and then, it's another thing to put your hopes in the game.
