I am curious what is the one thing that you will never bet with? I am not talking about life because I think almost everyone will say that already but instead I am talking about other things. Like your house, your car or maybe some weird thing like your favorite shirt or the mug your father gave you. Those kinds of things. It would be interesting to see how people value different things within the metrics of gambling.
There are a lot of things that I cannot use for gambling like my house, my car even money meant for my basic needs I can't use it to gamble the only money I use in gambling is my discretionary income and that is how it will be as long as I'm still gambling, when someone start using his or her important things to gamble then it is now addition, gambling is meant for fun and when you start using things that we hurt you then it is no longer for fun anymore it is now for money making I know very well that a lot of people uses their house to gamble which is very wrong some even use there phone to gamble, I have a friend that used his phone to gamble he was playing visual in a gambling shop and when he's money got finished he decided to use his phone to continue gambling and when he continued gambling he lost his phone and he even called me to borrow him money in order to continue so he can get his phone back his phone but I refused and that was when he stopped at that point he was already addicted to gambling and addition to gambling is the only thing that can make you use those important things in your life for gambling.
I will always advise everyone to use only their Discretionary income for gambling
