Gambling should be for fun only I agree, doing it for fun will help you protect your mental health from depression and negative thoughts
But if you try to make it a way out of the matrix you will be utterly disappointed. A lot of people have made millions just by staking a little penny and some have lost millions without making profit at the end of the day. What does this tell you? Most people might be lucky for a while with a pattern that they use and they believe it's a strategy that works every time, this only makes you addicted, greedy and obsessed. After making profits from these strategies you believe in you will start staking huge amounts of money and this might be the beginning of failure in this regard...gamble responsibly and occasionally, don't make it a source of income
This is a mistake that is often made by newbies, they start out gambling for fun, but then after they have a good session in which they earn a good amount of money, they begin to think about how great it would be if they could actually make this their profession, as they could obtain a lot of money by playing a few simple games, but we know that anyone that thinks like that is taking a massive risk, as not only they could lose a lot of money down the line, but they could also waste years of their lives pursuing a goal that is impossible to reach.
