For me, gambling is not a good platform, it is like a drug which make affect on our life, it has many side affects such as, gambling may destroy our financial situation, it hasn't brought out always positive result, it is the causes of being addicted, if you are addicted to it then you can't control over yourself to give up easily, so it's a wrong way.
One time we can take the drug it will not effect to our life, but if we make it a habit then you are right, it will kill our life slowly. Playing gambling is also same we can occasionally play no problem, but we can not make that habit this is more dangerous than the drug. Yes if we addict drug it will spoil only our life, but if you addicted to gambling, it will destroy your and your family members and loved once life.
