Gambling ought to be seen as a thing of fun but however, due to the nature of it bringing profit or returns as the case may be, people see it as a means of earning which has delved into the society now that every one gambler who is not well informed wants to use gambling as a source of income for themselves.
The majority of gamblers I think sees it as a means of making profit while just few gamble for fun but they all agree that they do it just to catch fun.
When a gambler sees gambling as a source of income, then that's not a right attitude towards gambling, and I am sure that there are pretty good numbers of people who see gambling from such perspective. I know of few people around me, that depends heavily on gambling. Truth is, as a gambler, you need a good source of income, that will even provide you with your needs and additional funds that you can stake for games as well if you are interested. Depending on gambling profits to place a bet is not ideal or healthy at all. Just get something doing, that will take care of your personal needs, and as well give you a better staking funds.
Gambling should be done with some fun, because the results can go either way (win or loss). When people gamble for fun, there won't be too many emotional attachment, i.e he/she won't be emotionally drained when there is a loss. Gambling should be done for fun and not the other way round.
