Yeah, it is what I am saying. They're different story but the principle of taking risk in gambling is both applied in invesing as well. And that's the worth a gambler gets with how risky they are in their bets. They can even take more risk in investments. So, there's no need to expound that much about the difference of it because I agree that they're completely different worlds. But the attitude, approach and principle that someone does as they take risk, they're applicable in different walks of our lives and not just in gambling.
Both gamblers and investors face the same thing when it comes to risk, since there's always a chance of losing money in both. However, gambling often leads to addiction, which is why many people end up broke. Even if a gambler starts by using only money they can afford to lose, once addiction sets in, they might start dipping into their savings and eventually lose everything.
I’m not sure why gambling is so addictive for most people, but for me, I just spend a little money to enjoy the bet.
It's good that you're not like the others that becomes addicted to gambling. It means that you're just enjoying and have the control to yourself. Keep yourself in that post and so you won't end up like the others who are spending even their lifetime savings. Don't be like that and the risk that's being taken is just fine in gambling. Gamblers are really prone to gambling addiction and that's going to happen if we're not careful to ourselves and we're mostly fed by our own greed. So, set yourself even if the others are going south by spending only money they can afford to lose, still, that's the best formula.
