Its good on the sense that you can avoid on losing money but there's no chance for you to earn one but since we are talking about gambling then not taking risks or not been involving with gambling is much more better rather than on spending into it.
It also has to do with personal decisions, when it comes to gambling, an individual have the right to decide if they will gamble or not and if they decided to gamble, the amount they want to lose should be the amount that if they lose it, it would not have negative effect on them. So, in another way round we can say it's not much of a risk but rather the person is having fun.
