It's either OP save or gamble right?
Honestly, if you want to save, you should not gamble, gambling would just pull your savings especially if you are an addicted gambler and you just came up to an idea to save.
Or, you can gamble, but your savings should be away from your "easy access" drawer or wallet.
It will be the best to quit on gambling if you truly want to save money and just do gambling again after saving up so many money and after you have fulfil all your goals in life.
