Is it fair to say gambling is always a bad thing..... Like, yeah — it can totally mess you up if you let it get out of hand, but not everyone’s throwing away their life savings on slot machines.

For some people, it’s just fun, a bit of risk, a bit of strategy, and that dopamine hit when things go your way. It’s entertainment — same as drinking a few beers, binge-watching Netflix, or playing fantasy football. And yeah, people love to say “it’s bad” while still doing it... because it’s addicting, exciting, and honestly kind of hard to walk away from. Doesn’t make you a bad person, just know your limits and don’t kid yourself.
