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.

I think in my case it was still a waste of time and money, even though I wasn't gambling with bills or emergency funds. Here's the bottom line.

Or worst, you are gambling when you don't have the knowledge even the basics in gambling.

And what basic knowledge is needed to play, say, slots? Just press the button, and then - as luck would have it. In principle, most gambling games are exactly like that, if they are not bets and not playing against other gamblers, as in card games.

Now my question is, does it mean responsible gamblers never wasted their time and money when they are gambling?

But do responsible gamblers have any special immunity to this? They are exactly the same gamblers, and like any gambler, they can lose, and time is wasted in any case if you sit down to gamble. The question is what remains at the end of the time spent: profit or loss.
