That's a different type of gambling as it's for survival, gambling in games is something that we can live even without it because it's just entertainment but gambling to survive is necessary for us. We don't know what future lies ahead for us, but if we gamble, make sure we have a good chance or it will not kill our finances as the consequences will be something that we will regret in our life.
Yes, we can completely abandon gambling in our everyday life and have fun in other ways. But why do this if gambling can, firstly, entertain us, and secondly, give some life lessons (and these will be very cheap lessons, since if you lose here it will only be a loss of money, and if you lose in life it can be much more serious). Naturally, I'm talking about a situation when we spend an insignificant amount on gambling.
It's not a problem if you'll only spend a small amount of money, the real problem will come if you will spend big money because you wanted to win and you resulted to chasing your losses. For some, gambling is fun at the start, but the moment they hook, they began to lose control and are already risking big money to win back losses, they don't see the risk and they have no idea what they are doing will result in a disaster.
