In my opinion, the more time one decides to spend on gambling, the more money they lose. For example, if I spend like one hour gambling and another gambler spends like six hours gambling, which one of us do you think will spend more money?
First of all, I will like to make reference to this part of your post, let's stop making gambling look like it's a money losing venture only, people still win in gambling regardless of the fact that, it's not really that common, or that most people this days seem more comfortable discussing their loses in gambling than their wins.So, in gambling, there is the potential to win just say way there is the potential to lose, and the more time one spends gambling, also represents how much chances they have to either win or lose, it's not just about losing alone..
So, I implore us all to always try as much as possible to stop making one sided comments when it comes to the issue of gambling, it paints gambling like something no one should ever engage in,
and what even baffles me the more about this, is that, those who make gambling look like something no one should ever indulge in, are all wearing and promoting a casino through their signature ad.I can't help but LOL at this statement you made because my comments, which you quote, do not in any way condemn gambling, nor is my topic a criticism of gambling. I am only seeking the opinion of other gamblers on what they think regarding the normal time duration for gambling.
On the second statement you made, I don't know the members you are referring to, and I have not read any comments from members who condemn gambling but are still promoting it in their signature spaces.
If it's outside the forum, yeah, I will agree with you that there are a lot of people who condemn gambling and see gamblers as irresponsible people, but that's far from the truth. Gambling is for fun, and whoever takes it for fun will enjoy gambling because it will be fun and they will still make some money from their wins, despite the losses they will also experience.
Anyways, with the above sorted, I would like to say that, actually, its not right to spend too much time gambling, for when we do so, we usually do not know when we slip away from just having fun to chasing money, or chasing our loses if we lost good amount at the time or period we were playing just to have fun, I am saying this from a person experience actually.
We are still in the same circle here. You are not making a different statement from the one you quote.
