I still enjoy gambling in casinos. For example, I just love slots. I don’t know why, but the fact remains. In addition, I can get away from the daily routine and just relax in this way. Why not? If it gives me pleasure and satisfaction, then it suits me as a kind of hobby.
I do not force anyone to follow this example, since you can lose a lot of money if you do not have discipline and self-control.
It's all about discipline, as you said. People who are disciplined and gamble responsibly would not think that gambling is only a bad thing because it doesn't affect them or their lives negatively. Gambling starts to become a problem for you if you treat it like a source of income, a method for you to make money when it's not. You can't touch fire with your hands and expect not to burn yourself. You should have enough sense to know that it is not to be touched with bare hands, and if you have to touch or manage it, do it with something that helps you with it, and then it doesn't harm you.
Similarly, if you know that gambling is risky and it totally depends on luck, and you can't make money from it because nothing in it can be consistent, so even if you win one day, or two days, you are going to lose in the third day, and you might even lose more than you've won earlier. That's how gambling is, but if you use it only for fun and entertainment, you should be good.
