Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling play a role changing life style?

Most of the people who are into gambling big time and even those people who we think their lives are changed by gambling for the better are actually living in an illusion which they themselves could not manage well...and so they will eventually end up in the dump dreaming of the time when things are on top and when they were still lucky. For me, a good gambler (that is, if there is one) should know that luck can come not all the time so when a person is winning big then he should be using the money not to continue gambling as the stacks are surely will not be always on his side...he should learn to invest and make money from the money he won. The problem is that gamblers are themselves lost in reality and they have their own worlds to contend with...until lightning will strike them back to the world we live in not anymore having the money and sometimes even losing the very pants he is wearing. For me, the one and only way to really make money with gambling is operating one...either legally or illegally.
It certainly can crush you financially. If you are gambling a steady amount you likely are losing a steady amount.
