I think gambling is a personal choice, it can be wrong for someone with an addictive personality who will lose much more than they can afford, it can also be a good thing for tbe occasional gambler who loses only what they can afford.
I know someone who was heavy into the horses and made big money only to lose it all, it has the power to make or break lives.
I hear more bad stories then good lol.
So I personally would recommend anyone who does consider factor those stories seriously, but obviously the person who does gamble give no fuks lol.
I think it is safe to say that we are nobody to do moral policing. Drugs are bad too, but some people enhance their lives with it. Everything in life is dangerous like gambling, man, even driving a car is. Doesn't stop billion people on earth to stop driving cars, now does it? You can only move forward and learn from your mistakes, deal with your losses and enjoy your profits. That's life.
