can't see how it could fix somebody life , it may do that at the beggining and as some people are saying now "It's fun to take risk" also things like "It's my passion and i love it" , that passion who used to fix your life will sooner or later turns into addiction and that addiction will finally wreck and finish your life a part .

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 .
Precisely therein a stategic of gambling and managerial in gamble needed.
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

i found my self broke because gambling
i found my life in a mess because gambling

but because gambling too suddenly rich, suddenly be a billionaire
because gambling too you know what it is the real have fun

how about you?

is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life?
i think gambling addiction and especially online will wreck your life if you are addicted to it. but gamblings like poker for example can make you good profit if you are good at it and have enough experience and mentality to win.
although you can make profit from gambling but i don't think you can become a billionaire from gambling .

p.s. you should make a poll.

I've been gambling off and on for over 17 years and I can say that I still enjoy it so it definitely has not wrecked my life.  For me, it's good for entertainment but of course it's always nicer to win.  I would just recommend that anyone interested should just be careful and only play with what they can afford to lose.  From there, it's just an educational process of trying out various strategies.

But I have to say about laws against gambling... they are just stupid.  Gambling was outlawed in the days when gun slingers were killing each other for cheating.  Those days are long gone and the only protection needed for gamblers is regulation to enforce provably fair games.  Gambling should not be illegal anywhere at all.

moderation is key I guess, but many people have issues with self-control and can never stop; just a passing thought but maybe gambling is illegal in places and has restrictions in places it isnt so that all the money doesnt end up in the hands of the casinos, if that were to happen the economy would halt as the people would have no money to spend. just a thought though.

Don't know if it is a fix or not but it's definitely not a wreck for me, I love gambling, I do it online & offline, I have been gambling for 7 years I think and I don't think I can think of my life without it. Apart from BTC gambling where I have lost around 2+ BTC, I don't think I am at a loss anywhere, I don't think I am good enough to do it for living as I know some people who are but still I don't think I am bad it.

Gambling is fun but it also can be expensive because of the house edge.  I gamble very small amounts because while it is fun it is also stupid.  That is why I like bitcoin so much, easy to gamble very small amounts of money, less than .01 USD.   So it's fun for life and I don't risk wrecking it.

Good Luck!

I can take it or leave it. Having a game of poker now as we speak but not for much.

I cant understand how it ruins peoples lives, its never been that important to me.

I tend to play tournaments for smallish amounts or if I'm feeling lucky sit and go on a bigger money table.

And only when I'm bored and with money I can afford to lose.

That Darn Cat
Gambling has had me sad many nights but I never allowed myself to loss enough to get into debt and allow it to really wreak my life.  I was tempted many times to reup and give it a chance to but I never did.  As for gambling fixing a life, I pray no one ever expects it to do so because it RARELY will.

Neither, but there are times that can hit good/bad moments in gambling. I mean, I never take it seriously, just doing it for fun.

Gambling for me is only for fun. Put a little money in it, to test it and play. If I lose, I don't give a sh**. If I win, I'm happy, but have in mind that's pure luck. In the end house always win. always.

Gambling is my passion because i love this i love to take risk because it has fixed my life before this great place i was in trouble with my financial condition, i have some luck with gambling and won nice money from this and i am managing my online activities without getting any bad reflection on my personal it does not messing up in any way.
its nice! if gambling has fixed your life, its good living for some people and maybe you are one of them.
but are you sure play gamble never make your live in a mess?
however base concept in gamble is more risk you gamble more money you will earn or more breakdown you will get then.

Indeed there are skill gambling games but people think its really easy to become one

Oh yes i wish that as many people as possible would continues to think like that

of course you can win money on poker but only a few can mantain a constant profit, you can make money on sports bets but then again only a few can mantain constant profit.

Makes it even more rewarding to be amongs these few

Remember wherever there is a winner theres also a loser.

I often see people saying that, as if its some kind of a bad thing.
