If you don’t play for fun and only care about the result, gambling is a horrible source of entertainment for you. If you think it is just about winning money, you are going to be very disappointed. Maybe try investing in stocks. Then you can actually get a positive ending and make money. If you enjoy making money, invest, don’t gamble.
I completely agree with you when you said that gambling is a horrible source of entertainment, because you can't be losing your hard earned Money and feel excited regardless the losing experience even if you're gambling for fun or entertainment there is a stage when you won't find it funny or entertaining anymore. So I think both ways is not worth it because if you still choose to gamble for profit making you will still experience lose so is better we look for a better source of making profit and stop wasting our time and money in trying to hit jackpot in gamble.
