Is it disappointment in the sense that gambling does not make money for people? Sorry but you are wrong if this is what you mean, don't downplay the level of luck some people have when it comes to gambling, aside the fact that we all preach and advice people to not go too deep into gambling, to avoid addiction and too much losses the gambler may possibly not be able to bear, gambling indeed have changed alot lives, have made people turn rich over night, a once a street boy in my area here in my country who hardly had good food to eat, sometime 4 years ago won what I consider a substantial amount of money, sources said money was above $100,000 dollars, he won a parley in sport betting, and long story short, this guy now lives in America, doing very well for himself, during christmas celebration last year, he sent his father a brand new 2022 Toyota Prado plus the house he built for him.
Gambling can change lives, and only the ignorant will say or believe otherwise, but same way it can change lives, it can also destroy lives if not done properly, and this why we have a guideline and rules, and one of such rules states that we should gamble responsibly.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't underestimate the level of luck in gambling because I often see novice gamblers being luckier than people who have been gambling for a long time. It can change many people's lives, and I realize it is a reality. But because of this reality, many people are getting deeper into gambling until they have to use up a lot of their money, and some even many people are going bankrupt. It may be very easy to know the stories of people who are successful at gambling, but there are more stories of people who fail at gambling and it is those stories that we don't know more about. Indeed, those who are successful in gambling can buy gifts for their loved ones and live comfortably from their winnings. But many more people experience losses from gambling, living below the standards of most other people. That is why, before they get too deep into gambling, they should be able to think about reducing their gambling activities or even abandoning gambling if they think gambling does not provide benefits. They can get enjoyment from other things they might not use as much.
Yes, I realize that gambling can change lives. We have seen a lot of evidence of this. But we also have to know that more people end up suffering from gambling too often. That is why we must be able to use gambling as entertainment and not need to use a lot of money to get pleasure from gambling.
