Gambling is not a bad thing, gambling has it own positive and negative sides, depending on the context and the person involvement. Gambling isn't only about losing, it also have entertainment value which is on of potential positive aspect of it, some people see gambling as a form of entertainment as in they stake bets on casino, or sporting just for fun. Gambling can also result winners which many people might see it as financial benefits which is another potential positive aspect of it. As for me I don't only look at the negatives side of gambling I also take a look at the positives side too, normally I take gambling as form of entertainment and not the other way round, that's why when ever I lose money in gambling I don't panic because am gambling for fun and with the money I can afford to lose.
Yes I agree with you you have made an important comment. Gambling not only leads to destruction, but it can change people's destiny. But it depends on his personal affairs. If someone gambles for pleasure then that will be a good thing for him., The bad side of gambling can be addiction and lack of self-control. There are many people who are currently gambling online from which they earn money but I only gamble for my pleasure. Although most of the time I win by the stroke of luck, I control it. I gamble with as much money as I can afford to lose. From my point of view, although gambling has some good sides, its bad sides are more. However, if someone can control his emotions while gambling then gambling is good for him. He gambles for pleasure and can earn some money from it, considering this aspect it can be said that gambling is not wrong.
You are right. Gambling should be played with the amount of money you are prepared to lose. Gambling for fun can keep you calm and relaxed in risky situations. This means that when you gamble for fun, making money will not be the main thing at that time, so the scope of gambling enjoyment will continue to expand and the risk of addiction will be less.
Do not always count gambling on luck because winning or losing is determined by your actions. As you said, self-control is more important when gambling and with this, patience and losing should not be expected to win, but should be planned for the future. To me, gambling is a potential tool where there is a huge possibility of winning as well as losing money.
