There are people who are hasty in criticizing people losing money to gambling, stating it to be a big financial mistake. Gambling could be a financial mistake, but that will be only when you are gambling irresponsibly. Gamblers who are gambling responsibly and not intentionally gambling for money making can still make money in the process, a life changing amount in some few cases.
People who are on the side of criticism, and using their money for other purposes, still fun but no potential of them to make money from it could be said to be the ones making the financial mistake. What do you think?
i recently realized (although i don't know my wager history in detail) that the amount of money i've ever won from gambling exceeds the amount of money i've ever lost. so in my all-time gambling stats, i think i'm in the plus side now. which is pretty cool because there have been times when i've been sad doing it, but usually it's always been fun. who doesn't like to hear that they've made money while having fun?
and if i had never gambled, it would have been a financial mistake and a missed experience for me. gambling is a beautiful thing, and we should love to enjoy it. that's what i think.
