I can't completely disagree to what you said. However, a lot of people take gambling as a form of entertainment. Entertainment is subjective in nature. Hiring a hooker is also an entertainment to many. People spend money on that to get something in return that relaxes themselves. Similarly gambling relaxes a lot of people and they do it to get something in return. Probably you prefer to spend on movies to relax yourself. Some other people prefers gambling. Addiction here is completely self inflicted.

That is my point too. Why someone even think about this to make gambling as source of income. But it is really sad to say there is a big list of gamblers who are only coming into casinos just to test their luck again and again that how can they make some point where they would be able to earn through gambling. This is really not wise strategy. Try to find out solution for this.

When I beat the casino, my joy is boundless, I squeal like a child.

we can only tell you the rules, but you can learn how to play only yourself.

You will not able to stop your self on gambling when you still playing everytime you need, it’s just like you’re in diet but you are craving for Fries and humburgerand you can’t stop you’re self and you end up eating that. In gambling you need self control no matter what happens you need to control your self.

I am not realiy a gambler though sometimes i am beating minimal in some other lottery games. But talking about walk of shame because nothing left in the pocket after the extreme lose is really hard to imagine. I understand that it is not an easy scenario and hopefully it won’t happen to anyone who gamble. Gambling is a choice but hopefully we can manage also our activity and always set the limits first.

Lol, don't ever do that borrowing money just to gamble. That's the reason why poor people are always poor even do how risk in gambling they continued to gamble. Even if you have your own money still don't gamble IMO if you don't have extra money that you can afford to lose.
For me, gambling is not just a kind of source of income, it is an entertainment for us when we got bored and have some relaxation.

Gambling is just like smoking or drinking alcohol. The individual who participates in it may lose his money and health. But at the same time, these activities contribute huge amounts of money to the government coffers.

I quit the game when I won as much as I wanted, and if more - I quit immediately

The article says that the house edge of this lottery is 50%. Does anyone know if it's the biggest house edge possible?

This is a good remark. Indeed there are such sites and that's why we shouldn't take any claims at face value, especially when dealing with newly appeared sites. Fortunately, it's not that hard to verify several bets. And reading reviews also helps, because we can't verify every bet (well, we can do that technically, but that would be hell of a game). Some gambling sites have such a good reputation that it seems unnecessary to verify any bets there at all, but of course you can do it from time to time, just in case.

You will surely feel relieved especially when you're gambling with money that you just borrowed or you really have some important things to buy or need to pay to.

For me, I think when gambling was not introduced, people will be very busy on their social media platforms and other physical activities that could really improve overall health and healthy living.
