Once in a while i took a 3-5 days vacation in my friends house so i've got to notice this kind of hobby they have in their neighborhood. Gambling is their favorite past time and sometimes gambling becomes their life, each morning that i will wake up there, outside the house you can see a lot of people betting in a horse race video game, others were playing card games and some are into this mahjong thing, this is also a constant scenery at lunch and dinner, and when the next morning comes, sometimes i do still see the same faces still sitting and still gambling, imagine the time they were investing in this kind of thing they called a game and fun for them.
Honestly i'm not a fan of gambling since i see it in a wrong way like it's just a waste of time and a waste of luck i just always thought that bad luck is more than a good luck so why waste effort and money.
To all gamblers out there i'm very sorry if i kinda stepped into your nerves by this discussion..

It is too dangerous to engage in day long or night long gambling activities. It is loss of money...of time...of energy ....of merits. Doom ...it is not far away for the person who is bent upon gambling all the time in his life.

What people do with their own money is their business naturally. Still it does tend to put a bit of a poor taste in my mouth when people lose their homes, their cars, and every cent they own, when they have a family to feed. When its them on their own, that is their own stupid decision. However, there are some people who really tend to take the gambling thing too far.
And then there are those people who obviously have no talent whatsoever, but yet they keep trying to win, thinking that they might hit their lucky break eventually. Of course, I think that is going to be something that is going to be highly unlikely. There are times where throwing your money in a furnace is a better investment than gambling. Still again, its their stupid decisions, just hopefully they're not dragging anyone down with it.
