Gambling is not all about winning the game. Gambling is also a way to meet other people, making friends. Everytime i chose to play a gambling site, i make sure that this gambling site has a good community so i can chat , ask for strategies or sometimes do some games. That is where i get the fun in a gambling.
I am surprised to know about gambling, that it is a way to contact the people? Because i believe mostly people are playing gambling because they want to earn money in a short time, but not play to make the friendships. But it is a good point to make the connection with the peoples who are playing with you.
