Well, it's not like you were not going to enjoy it entirely.
Games in slots are mostly fun games and there's a variety of choices now that you can pick. Before, I was also pessimistic about them and I though I was not going to enjoy them but right now it's hard to not play the game for a day. I mean, I just want to roll even for just 20 times and see where my chances will go.
Sports betting is also enjoyable if you have a love for the game that you prefer. In my case it is basketball so whenever I see a good game that will happen I would definitely make a bet to spice things up.
You are right that it will be foolish thinking if we say/think that there is no refreshment, no enjoyment while gambling. Actually in the beginning it is full of enjoyment and mental refreshment if we do not become losers and we do not become addicted to gambling. But the main impact of gambling is when we become losers and it turns into an addiction.
This is definitely a negative scenario of gambling.
But I still have a more optimistic view of the entire gambling industry. In my opinion, not a very large percentage of players who get carried away by gambling then face very serious problems due to gambling addiction at the stage of mental illness. When it is an illness, the problem is of course obvious. However, most players simply relax from the game and have fun. In addition, the state of expectation of winning, for example, when betting on sports competitions, clearly brings some increased excitement to watching these competitions themselves compared to watching the game. And these same feelings, in my opinion, should also be taken into account if we objectively assess the impact of gambling in general on a person's life.
