A lot of people have been clamoring about how gambling has ruined their life but same gambling has set some people up for life, just like every other form of investment there must always be a profit or a loss. And life is so balanced that what works for Mr A might not be the same that works for Mr B. Likewise in gambling, while some are crying about their loss they are some who are smiling and celebrating their win.
Gambling has been seen as a very dangerous thing base on some people's point of view here in the forum whereas in reality it has given some people the capital to start what ever business they want to do. My point in this post is that we shouldn’t just paint gambling all black because some people have fail to stick to the discipline of gambling.
I believe that before one make a decision in life, they should've already weighed the consequences of making the right or wrong choice, then put their fate on luck coupled with their little knowledge concerning what they're about to decide on, so why complain and play the blame game when things go wrong? "Share your thought on how gambling has come through for you if you got any".
It might be funny, but this topic seems like a continuation of another topic I earlier came across today, where the OP detailed on the title "If you don't take a risk, you will not win." It totally confirms that gambling is full of risk to lose money, so who dares to make unnecessary blame on gambling because they lose their bet? Do they not know that gambling is a game of luck where winning is uncertain?
By the way, I want to point out that gambling is never an investment, so it should not be treated as one, or even compared to being an investment.
Lastly, people who hate gambling will paint it black because, maybe their costume or religion forbids it. So, they will definitely paint it black and have a very point to convince others why gambling is not good. Yeah, people can paint it black and you will not do anything.

First of all, gambling has nothing to do with investments. Gambling is a game, an expensive hobby,
Thank you for also pointing this out. You beat me to it while I was typing.
