The fact that gambling cannot be considered as a way of earning money is undoubtedly indisputable. However, the problem is that both real work and investing do not always bring the desired result. Even now, there is hard work in the world that only allows you to eke out an existence. The majority of the world's population has lived this way throughout history. And on the other hand, we can observe people who have not lifted a finger, but get their money easily and effortlessly. For example, just being born into a rich family. Therefore, gambling will always beckon with the opportunity to get easy money.
