I only I think gambling is a bad idea if you don't plan on losing.

Post by: AlphaWeeaboo on May 01, 2013, 07:15:44 PM: Gambling is just that. It's a gamble. You may win, you may lose. A good amount of people who gamble are blinded by the concept of winning far greater then losing. There's many factors that can determine your outcome and no one can really be for certain of it.

I don't really think of it as a bad thing or a good thing. It is what it is.
