Sometimes ago I was in dear need of money up around $120 in my local currency, and for that time I only have around $37 iny possession, only two options are open and left for me, 1 is to ask for a loan from my bank to cover up my $120 expenses
2: is to gamble with the money not the entire money at least $20 out of my available funds that time, I took that risk and in the end I was lucky to win a bet of multiple tickets that accumulated around 10 odds in total and that winning cover up for all my financial needs at that time. So gambling is helpful and good to me in that regards, gambling is doesn't have any bad side  for me but we need to do everything within a set limits that draw back from over doing things that can lead to loaes for us.
