People say gambling is a waste of time and money. That's the reason why as much as possible people are not encourage to take gambling. However, my point is, it could be a waste if you are an irresponsible gambler. You are gambling on your funds that should be paid on bills, or you are using your emergency funds. Or worst, you are gambling when you don't have the knowledge even the basics in gambling. Now my question is, does it mean responsible gamblers never wasted their time and money when they are gambling? Then how about those losses that they have incurred, when they can use it to add to their emergency funds?
If anyone tells me that gambling is a waste of time to him, I won't argue with him because that's his own truth base on his personal experience. Not everyone enjoys gambling as a fun activity, infact many people who gamble are only gambling for the financial benefits they will get from it and if they are not seeing any positive results from gambling, then it's okay for them to see gambling as a waste of time and money.
It is even safer for these set of people to realise and admit to themselves that they've been wasting their time and money all along, instead lying to themselves, chasing and accumulating losses. Everyone has different gambling experiences. While some have good things to say about gambling, others might really be wasting their time and money.
