Gambling - winning/losing

[Ruslan L]

Assessing your journey, experience and results, can you answer a simple question?
Was it worth starting?
In my case, I ‘lost’ (I call it spent) hundreds of times more than I won. I spent a lot of money over many years, but I can definitely say that it was worth starting, because for me, gambling is entertainment that brings joy to my life, relieves negativity, and allows me to easily distract myself.

Its difficult to say in the very end. In some ways it brings a lot alof enjoyment but in some other cases you loose a lot of time with gambling.

Was it worth starting what? If you're talking about slots, then definitely not, but if you're talking about poker, then thousands of players are making good money. Poker isn't entertainment, it's a game of skill.

I would say yes. If I hadn't started playing 20 years ago, I would start now, knowing everything I know at the moment. It's just that with the experience I've gained, I would lose much less

Definitely yes in my case. But I'm not insinuating that I've made millions or even thousands.
1st of all, I only play poker and some blackjack occasionally. Most of my winnings came from poker and most losses from Blackjack.
Overall, I cannot consider myself a winning player nor a losing one. Through the years I've been playing, I think I'm in the plus, just better than even in poker, but cannot say the same about Blackjack though playing it was mostly for fun.

I said yes, it was worth starting because poker had certainly so many positive impacts on my life and I would do it again if I had to start from zero.

I think for a lot of people its their entertainment, so for them its like going to a movie or going out for drinks.

So they might find it enjoyable despite losing money.

Almost nobody wins money playing casion games over the long term.

I think a lot of the youtube "gamblers" make their money from youtube not from gambling. So for them its still worth it even though they lose at the casino.
