One of the interesting thing about gambling is not forcing your self to play bet,, only play when you think you feel like just having fun of playing gambling bet. Gambling when only you feel like proves one is responsible gambler and not being controlled by gambling. Having a steady interest of gambling can be a sign of addiction and people just feel okay with it and never give attention to this signs. Gambling when only you have interest will save one from many expensive lose.
Yes, that's how we should treat gambling, or I mean gamble only for the purpose of having fun and also gamble when you have some money that you can really afford to lose in the sense of being able to be responsible for whatever the results are, on the other hand, yes you said something right that having an excessive interest in gambling can be a sign that someone is addicted, not everyone can realize that the increase in interest is a sign that they are trapped in a cycle of addiction which is the reason why gambling must really be done with a high level of awareness and always evaluate your approach and interest in gambling because often gamblers get caught in addiction without realizing it.
It is beginning to make sense to me when fun is attached to gambling because to be successful in anything, one have to find a way to enjoy doing it because it is when it is enjoyable that the best is given. Anything that offers no form of fun may not really see the best and optimistic aspect of the individual, this is why it has become important that a gambler should strive to find a way of enjoying some kind of form while gambling. This can also help in fighting depression that often comes with losing several bets and even some games that look like games with certainty that often go the opposite side. Therefore, gambling for fun can be very important for healthy gambling.
