Actually, gambling is not bad, what's worse is when you become an indiscipline gambler, it's okay to make mistakes at the beginning but if we keep making the same mistakes over and over, then although gambling is fun, this is not for you because it's very risky for indiscipline gamblers.
A good example of indisciplined gamblers is those gamblers who went bankrupt, sell their properties, and end up living on the street. We don't want this to happen to us, so we have to gamble with caution as it's a risky kind of entertainment for some people.
Bad thing or not, it depends on the perspective of how one defines it. and what makes gamblers worse is not because of problems because they are not disciplined. however, more on responsibility. if a gambler does not have a good understanding of gambling, then most of them will become part of the addict.
As we all agree, gambling is a part of pleasurable entertainment. but closely related to risk, and the effects of gambling itself. Gambling without good control can lead to addiction. also, potentially losing our valuable possessions. that is why it is very important for gamblers to have a good understanding of what gambling is, as well as the importance of being responsible. that way, we as gamblers will have pretty good control. also, to avoid the effects of addiction. and the most important thing to remember is, gamble with limits that we can afford to lose.
