Gambling is good and gambling is bad, it depends entirely on the gambler. Gambling is good for those who gamble for fun because they can enjoy gambling, but this enjoyment becomes a curse for some gamblers. If you pay attention to bankroll, proper control of money, regular gambling, strategy, it is definitely possible to stay away from gambling addiction. However, I value money control the most, because if a gambler can control his money properly, he will definitely stay away from gambling addiction.
I still wonder how people gamble with fun because it is not making any sense to me no matter how I try to make it make sense. Does it mean that while I'm chasing big multiplier and big odds in sports betting, there are people out there chasing happiness and fun and not money. That is strange if you ask me and I will still maintain that the concept of gambling for fun was invented by people who do not want to feel terrible when they actually lose money, they can just use the fun thing as consolation for their losses. I like facing reality that is why I do not subscribe to gambling for fun because it is the winning that brings the fun and never losses.
