I never thought I will ever play gamble. Growing up and seeing poorly dressed men with unkept beards flipping through the pages of newspapers in research to find draws to stake on in a pool shop made gambling look horrible and criminal.
To Me these men should have a rethink and better their lives instead of waste it on an unproductive venture as gambling. Then I felt they were lazy and unreasonable.
You saw men who were ruined by gambling. When a gambler is addicted, he can become ruined, and the majority of them appear miserable. It is difficult to imagine an addicted gambler looking good or changing clothes.
The reason for this is that they always want to buy clothes when they have extra money, so the little money they have is usually used as a bet in the hopes of winning and then being able to afford the things they lack.
Unfortunately, what the gambler think is not always what happens, leaving him miserable. However, some gamblers appear to be responsible, and you rarely see them gambling, making it difficult to believe. Thus, gambling has never been the issue, but rather the gambler.
