We all know you can never get time back, and when you’re losing in gambling and not even enjoying it, that’s time wasted too. Double the stress means a bad day, and sometimes it carries over, because there are always consequences when you’re addicted to gambling.
If you’re someone who values your time, you really need to be careful when taking risks in gambling. Always stay responsible to avoid this from happening. Instead of using that time to improve yourself, you get carried away and end up wasting it all on something that doesn’t even give you anything back.
For me, I only think it can only be referred as time wasted when you literally do not have the potential of winning anything back, because inasmuch as you actually do stand the chance of winning something significant, and then you decided to risk what you have in search of what you aim for, then it's actually worth it, because while gambling you literally can not win always, but you will sometimes lose, which is enough reason for people to gamble responsibly, because time is what you must always sacrifice, as you continue your search to winning a jackpot.
