No gambling could be an entertaining hobby for any class. As long as you have funds set aside for entertainment and have the ability to lose that money and not affect your life than more power to you. People go to movies or drink wine, etc as a hobby why not gambling. Not a lot of people consider it a form of entertainment and I don't really know why.
Yes gambling is not good if used as a hobby, but I think gambling places are still suitable if used as a place to find fun from the hustle and bustle of the world, with real gambling you can find pleasure in yourself when you are gambling and there is a chance to win which is a fun thing, which is fun, but you have to keep it in mind. Be aware that in gambling places, the money you have can potentially be lost instantly when you lose, so there is no financial guarantee, and you must be aware of this risk before making a gambling place a place to have fun.
Gambling isnt really bad if you do really just treat it up on the right way.It is really just that it do becomes bad just because people do have that kind of wrong approach into it. Instead on making it just for fun,
you are really just that making it just a source of income and on the time that it would really be making out such effects into your life then this is where you would really be having those realizations on which it is really that sad. As for the situation which been stated on OP about a pastor who is really that getting involved with some gambling games then having those kind of reasoning does proves out on what gambling could
really be able to make you with that kind of reasoning.
Well, its not really that bad to gamble if you are really just that responsible with your actions. Messed up things would eventually that happens
on the time that you would really be finding up yourself on such irresponsible approach towards it.
