Neither of the two.
While I enjoy gambling, I am fortunately not addicted to it, and I always set a stop win and a stop loss every week.
So may be I will be winning or losing $100 this week but that $100 proft or loss will have an insignificant effect on my life.

It can always go both ways... You can end up losing a fortune or winning a fortune (if you are willing to wager a fortune ofc).
The moral here is as always, never wager what you can't afford to lose. Personally i made few coins but wouldn't call it a fortune.

gambling can wreck and can fix your life for sure
for me I don't take it seriously when I play -EV games like dice , roulette , slots ... etc
in these games I just play for the fun part
but yes gambling for sure can fix your life when you play +EV games like poker
I take poker seriously cause it's beatable and there are many situations that could make you for example X2 of your bet when you are 80% ahead
and I make some money playing poker , but in other games usually broke
Yeah sometimes gamble fix your life but mostly it fix Only for a few moments, in the end mostly wreck your life because the addicting gamble make you want to win more and more.for me I don't take it seriously when I play -EV games like dice , roulette , slots ... etc

As with the poker, poker can fix your life forever as long as you have a good skill, because poker is a strategic gamble.
Really? Gambling isn't that for me. Gambling just adds a little fun to your life (the adrenaline). I play for fun and honestly, I go in with the mindset that I'm going to lose. Just gamble what you CAN afford to lose. 
Thats what i did! Strangely when we play with mindset that we are going to lose, we always win some. And when we play with mindset we have to win, we always lose and feel bad.

is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life?
If you are looking for something to fix your life, gambling shouldn't be your first choice. However, it shouldn't ruin it either. There needs to be a healthy balance. It;s similar to how some become alcoholics and some can just manage to drink only socially.
i feel alive when i gamble
How is that so ? I have lost so much on gambling that if I roll something like under 99 , the number comes more than 99 just too many time :/ Overall has made me into a degen.
that sounds like an addiction honestly; if you read my short paragraph above, if gambling is the only thing that makes you feel happy or alive, there might be a real addiction here; a dependency on gambling to feel pleasure.
It sounds like he is talking about sniffing cocaine honestly, haha. You may feel alive when you win but im sure you feel like shit when you lose your money, the problem is that if you keep coming back and you cant stop that means you are addicted just like cocaine addicts or any other drug. This one may seem less bad but in some cases could be worse than cocaine addiction.

People that say they are gambling for fun are lying, anyone who gambles does so to try to make money, thats a fact. Some people know how to stop and know not to spend all their money on it but other people dont and end up broke or with really bad problems. People these days can do anything for money which is sad.
excellent point; reminded me of this story i read about some time ago: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/23538746/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/#.VYED1flVi9E
the woman was "gambling for fun" and lost everything, and sues the casino for "not stopping her."

When you do gambling just for fun, so it's okay if you lose, and it's be great if you win. But if you bet all of your money to expect get high winning, I think it will wreck your life, although you win because you will addicted by that. And if you lose, you will lost all of your money and can be depressed.
I have made good money from gambling (not BTC gambling) I usually play a offsite local lottery and through experience I have become really good at it but even in BTC gambling I am not at any loss. The trick is to take it slow, just set your limit for a session and don't ever go over that and only gamble with the money you can afford to lose, if you mix gambling with your emotions then you're bound to lose.
Also, I believe the luck plays a huge part when you're gambling, even if you're playing Poker which is considered to be somewhat skill based you still need luck to be on your side and one can't be lucky every day.

for me gambling just for fun and let my boring mood go away
im not feel gambling wreck my life, because im not play or betting use a lot money. im just bet a little do some fun for me
im not feel gambling wreck my life, because im not play or betting use a lot money. im just bet a little do some fun for me
gambling is not fix my life or wreck it because i only gambling with fun and i try to control myself when i lost
maybe sometimes i will upset when im lost but it would not be until wreck my life
maybe sometimes i will upset when im lost but it would not be until wreck my life
If I have extra money that I do not need, I sometimes deposit and gamble them (or buy something). Usually I end up withdrawing tiny bits back until I get greedy and lose it all. Even though I lose, I'm not in any major debt or crisis because I only play with what I can afford.
Gambling don't fix my life, and don't wreck my life either. I only gamble with extra money that I earned for free (like BTC from signature campaign). However I won't gamble all of them, and if possible, I will only find some low risk/positive expected value gambling sites.
P.S. A positive expected value site I am using is dadice, which their jackpot system gives that (you bet 1 satoshi per time at 1/5,000,000 chance for winning 0.2 bitcoin).

I have fun with gambling but it does not effect my life. If your life is changed by gambling then you should seek help. There are hotlines and even doctors that can give you therapy. Your family is more important than having fun or getting rich. Remember that you might hear the few stories when someone wins big, but you never hear the thousands of losers brag about losing. They didn't build those massive casinos in vegas because people are winning.
So have fun, but don't let it ruin your life.

Actually it will wreck your life (based my study about gambling chance, mostly like to lose)
But I'm confess that I'm very greedy to become rich. Because everyone's luck is different, we can try test our luck. But just make sure that we not bet more than you can afford to lose
Luckily, I have been able to control myself with losses,I have lost money, but I have stopped soon after losing a big amount for me
sometimes i can control myself if i lost but sometimes can not.but actually i gamble just for fun, if got win im happy if lose hmmm it's sucks, but it's ok, that called gambling
In the beginning I played every day with low values, then I started to gain increased value. But after losing a reasonable amount of bitcoins back to play with low values and only time.
