Therefore, there is no need to be skeptical; sometimes gambling allows us to rejoice and win, and this is much more pleasant than sitting around in bars, in places where we stupidly spend money, realizing that no one will return it to us.

Just because we find gambling entertaining doesn't mean that other things aren't, or that other people don't find pleasure in them, as the ones you mentioned. The thing that is different in gambling, though, is that it gives the possibility of getting back the money that you spend. An additional reason to be more involved with it.

How can you enjoy the game when you are losing?

The rush and the excitement are mostly the reasons that gamblers play even if they are losing. Because these feelings are stronger than the logic of stopping when you lose, and we all know that. Even if we get upset and "sad", we keep coming back for these feelings. Imagine that we return and play even if we have won...
