Sad reality, because there are actually people who thinks gambling can be a source of living. I have seen people who gambles regularly even with small betting capital, and they were thinking small losses everyday doesn't matter as long as they also win sometimes.
And, I agree that gambling should be treated as an entertainment rather than money making.
Definitely sure, gambling should be treated as such to avoid be addicted. Personally, I take gambling as fun even though I gamble often, gambling in the name to make a living; will always end the gambler addicted and be a bigger loser at the end. Since i joined the gambling platform, I have never gamble solely to win the games rather I always did because I see it as an avenue to entertain my self I my own little way. Small betting of capital if calculated for a long-term will give a surprise huge lose at the end, so, I always gamble for fun and not to win in such mindset.
