That's true, if you are only on the winning side, that would actually is fun, but I think, even if you are on the losing side, chatting with your fellow gambler on the gambling could ease you and you could even make fun of your dumbness when they start to bully you and you ride the fun.. Addiction could only happen if you can't accept your defeat... But if it's just fine to you that you lose, then there's no need to worry about your losses...
