In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.
Yes it may be a sickness because you want to get rich as much as you get not knowing that you will be poor sooner or later. What I mean isthe addiction if you are addicted then you cannot think properly. And its start to temptation in which you are curious on that matter trying to win big.
Some would argue otherwise but i think that an addiction is a sickness.
An addiction will kill your reputation first and then your life too, it does not need to be from gambling, but here we are discussing particularly about gambling addictions.
Yes, it is good for your body but that doesn't mean that it only does good to you and nothing bad at all. Any type of addiction has a bad effect. Walking too much is not good for your time. If you really do have an addiction of walking, then you cannot do anything done at all every single day since you're very busy walking.
Just like the same thing in gambling. It's gives you a good mindset. It makes you wise. It makes you calm even if there are tough decisions to make. But it's not good financially.
