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
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. 
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

I believe that the addiction to gambling is in our brain (Amigdala & Hypocampus)
If you addicted, just try to play in very small amounts.

first off: theyre spelled "amyglada" and "hippocampus," and if im remembering high school lessons correctly, the amyglada controls your ability to feel emotions, and the hippocampus controls long term/short term memory. gambling addiction is caused by a chemical imbalanced caused by the increased exposure to dopamine which is released from gambling. eventually this imbalance will cause the individual to feel less and less pleasure from the ]basic needs, sex, food, social interactions, sleep, etc, and the reliance on gambling will increase.
correct me if im wrong I learned this several years ago.

I prefer strategic gambling with amount that I can afford to lose. No gmabler become suddently rich by gmabling, let alone being billionaire. But, by running a gambling site, you can definitely be a billionaire. 
are you sure? i remember some guy posted here about making a fortune off bitcoin roulette, dont care enough to find the link though. There is also the Hufflepuff case, but he was found to be cheating with an unhashed server seed. some guy also win a nice sum of ~12 BTC from sawdice a few days ago as well.
I think so many people getting rich because gambling
But also many people getting poor because gambling,
So there is a winner and there is a loser.
How to be a winner? Just gamble for have fun and you will always feel the winner,
Gamble seriously you will feel as the winner when you win gamble and the rest you will feel the loser.
it can be for a living for some people; poker is the best example of this i think; ive gone to RL casinos several times before and some of those big poker players quite literally live at the casino making a living off poker. this is only a few people though, the true gambling addicts.
Yeah and I guess poker may be a little different than most other "gambling" because it is a game with elements of skill (though it does have luck) and also reading other players. You could argue there is skill in other games as well, but I think poker is in its own category.
I would definitely agree; poker is player vs player, and the house just takes a rake; most other games are player vs house (Blackjack, slots, etc). luck in getting the right cards is definitely a big factor, but so is knowing what to do in each situation. it takes a lot of experience to get to that level though.
Considering gambling only to be something like dice and Roulette, it has actually been both partly.
In the long run I did end up losing amounts upwards of 2K USD , but after losing so much the best realisation I had is not to gamble as its -EV. So no matter how I bet, I will be losing at the end. I have almost completely given up gambling now.
It also got me other life skills, like coding/strategy and bankroll management which I am sure will be very useful in the future.

You should never get to a point where gambling can 'wreck your life'. Seriously my friend gambling is supposed to be fun, we all have the highs & lows of winning and losing but please never gamble with sums of money that can 'wreck your life'.
It's supposed to be fun, the main & only rule of gambling is to only bet with amounts you can afford to lose, please remember that. It is not worth getting into financial difficulties. Good luck.

Agreed. Only bet what you are willing to lose. Gambling is something to do for entertainment. You can make or lose money, but you should not "expect" to make money. It's just a lucky accident if you do.
