People can never enjoy financial benefits from gambling. It can be fun if you bet with your friends all of a sudden but when you bet with a lot of money and do it regularly it becomes no fun anymore. Those who get idea about gambling gamble for fun in the initial stage and when they win gambling they gamble regularly and become addicted. There are also people who want to become financially independent from gambling, which makes them gamble regularly, which may be a mistake for them because gambling can never become financially independent.
I agree it's really stupid to think of financial benefits from gambling there is no guarantee that you will make money from it. Chasing money will become an addiction. Many people lose control of their lives while gambling and their entire lives are filled with problems because of this behavior. Leaving all the important activities of life they only look for gambling opportunities and immerse themselves in gambling. Should be played through fun if fun don't worry about any financial loss.
Two benefits could be derived from gambling which are the money and the fun, well, I do not 100% go against the gamblers that would be fixed with the money making in gambling, after all, it's part of why people gamble. But what I do not like is for them to be desperate about the money they want to make. Desperation is bad both in gambling and outside gambling, it can push you into what you wouldn't want to do, which is the bad side of it. It is only so bad and rampant in gambling because of the informal nature of gambling, but not necessarily mean that those who are seeking money through gambling cannot do well if they properly manage their account and mindset towards it.
It's about you win or you lose, but when you are so good at what you do, you get to win more than you lose, and you will still be happy. But the desperation of this is not making gamblers think rightly, that would cloud their decision because they are already emotional and desperate for the money. For this, it is bad to avoid the view of money if you can't control yourself in gambling, or else, you will lose your money, and that is if it doesn't make you miserable in addition to that. But for those who see it as fun, they can get the best out of it and even if they win since they will be happy and only consider it as an added advantage, instead of believing that it is a means to get them rich.
