Gambling is more of a two edge sword that produces both good and bad results which all depends on how wisely and safely we practice whatever we do and the ability to be consistent with whatever our safety practices might be is one way to stay profitable in the industry.
Well, gambling can be a hope restorer and also the reverse but it all depends on our attitude towards each scenario as well as how lucky we can be most times.
Funny saying that gambling can be a hope restorer because I would like to think the latter when it comes to gambling although I won't actually blame gambling but the gambler instead because some gambler just lack the precision to know that the same act that people are happy about is the same act that can destroy you in a split second. Many people have hoped on gambling and so made it their life time thing that one day they would hit that big jackpot that will elevate them but the case always turn sideways as they tend to go crazy before that lucky hit comes.
