Gambling is not a bad thing, gambling has it own positive and negative side, all depend on the context and the person involved. Gambling isn't only about losing, it also have entertainment value which is on of potential positive aspect of it, some people see gambling as a form of entertainment as in by staking bets on casino, or sporting just for fun. Gambling can also result winners which many might people see it as financial benefits. As for me  I don't only look at the negatives side of gambling I also take a look at the positives side too, normally I take gambling as form of entertainment and not the other way round, that's why when ever I lose money in gambling I don't panic because am gambling for fun and with the money I can afford to lose.
