To be honest, I don't remember winning anything significant from gambling that would make me cheerful, partly because I never gamble too much, and my only motive behind gambling has always been to have fun, not to focus on profits and stuff. When you lose some money and then win it back, or a slightly higher amount, you don't feel anything special because that's normal in gambling; even the RTP of most games would get you a percentage of your losses back if you keep playing that game continuously.

I believe gambling is fun only when you are not worried about wins and losses, because in that case, when you get a win, you will love it and enjoy, but if you lose, you won't be distressed because of it like most gamblers out there who get too stressed when they lose money, which is because they were treating their bankroll as an investment that should make them money but that's not how gambling works.
