I don't bet or gamble at all. I think it can get addictive and harmful. Do you gamble? Have you made or lost money gambling? Do you think it's addictive.

No. It's not my kind of thing.

It's better to stay out of it.

If you gamble for the first time, you don't necessarily become hooked. It is possible to stop! I gambled twice in my life. Once in Las Vegas. My husband and I won enough money to pay for tickets for the famous Siegfried and Roy show. The other time I gambled in the famous casino of the German city of Baden-Baden. I decided to try my luck with a certain sum. I lost it and left the casino. This is the end of my gambling experience.

Looks like it was fun. You're right. It's important to not continue.

I've gambled bot in card games and in sports betting. I've won and lost bets all my life. All part of the game though so all is good.

Yes, I gamble for fun. I am an active member of an online cryptocurrency casino. I made quite of withdrawals ever since I become a member so I am on profit. But not everyday is a green day, of course I also lost some of what I win. Yes, it is addictive but I am not on the level of selling my things just to have gambling money.

@pitstop Yes, I've lost money because of gambling, but not my own. My ex-husband use to gamble every payday and usually he lost most of his money, in card games. I would never start to gamble, yes it definitely turns into an addiction. My sister got involved online and she lost a lot of money!
