i believe someone outthere has a good life , i mean good earning because gambling .
a good life is the proof that gamble fixed their life, gamble help people grow/earn money.
or gamble burn their money for some people, although gambling may not will always fix everyone lives and may not will always wreck everyone lives.
Everything will be fine in right time, everyone has the fate of each.
Well , if gambling was fixing lifes (which is not) and helping people (which is not) and also making people to make profit the whole world would do it , but gambling websites makes sure so you get addiction and you always come back and play more and more till you lose .
Only rich people can get richer with Gambling because they have no problem on taking high risks , poor or average people most of the time greed eats & them and they wanna bet gamble more which screw them but that dosen't change the fact that there issome people who know when to stop . so I'd say right now 80% wreck life , 20% fix it .
When you feel you are already addicting to gamble ( always come back play more and more till lose as you said) you need to start thinking that you would not always win.
Poor or average people it's not a problem, the problem is the way we think that we will always win after straight win , and we will realize how dumb us after have nothing
