There is no reason to say that Gambling is bad for society even it may contribute to being affected nationally. Gambling not only affects the people who are gambling and as it is related to money it affects the members of the family, friends, relatives, and later on the nearest people, and in this way, it affects the whole of society.
I think, what makes it bad is because the gambler himself has a bad attitude, because with the bad results he gets in gambling until they do something negative. Thus, they say gambling is bad even though in reality the gambler himself is the one who makes gambling seen as bad, because it has a negative impact. But, if the gambler can control his emotions well then I am sure that the gambler and gambling will not be seen as bad when they have good control over themselves. With that reason, then at least I do not blame gambling entirely, because what makes it bad is those who have excessive emotions.
bad risk management I'd say, no amount of luck will beat a bad enough risk management if you give the situation enough time to unroll
it's sad that some people risk and lose it all but we have to remember that is their responsibility after all
crazy how the world is...
