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?
In as much as we do losses in gambling at some point but the truth is that we derive certain level of fulfillment when we make our analysis and researches and finally have a conclusion of what could be the possible outcome of a game, it is not completely a waste of time and money because it appeals your inner mind on what you want to do at a particular point in time, for a responsible gambler who has ensure his basic needs are already taken care of and gamble from part of his discretionary income for me has fulfilled the desire of placing a bet on his favorite games, to me is not completely waste of time and money perhaps there is also a possibility of winning and not just losses even though nothing is guarantee.
