Gambling's okay as long as you keep winning?

Is gambling okay as long as you keep winning? An interesting take here by a gambler guy in the subway 58 years of gambling, argues that gambling was okay as long as you keep on winning.
I mean, for sure, it's okay if you keep on winning, right? But can we keep on winning? In the end, he ended up saying about the fun and enjoyment, which I think is a denial, he knows that gambling was bad.

What's your take on this?

I think it's the very obvious though, if you're winning then why not? It's free money, but the problem is that it's not going to last that long. Everything is base on luck and in the long run, it will catches up with you.

But the question is after you stop winning, are you going to continue or not? That is the biggest psychological effect because for sure, majority might think of continuing to replicate our success but worst case scenario is that you are not going to win every time and if you continue to chase then you might fall into the gambling addiction.

If we are winning, then we feel more comfortable with ourselves. Still, when it comes to losing and this is coming more repeatedly, gamblers tend to change their minds and intentions towards it and that is why you could discover that they don't feel excited because of this condition they are in, we can't be losing and still have cheerful feelings along, this is very common with many gamblers.

You are right. Gamblers are in a good mood until they win, but the problem comes when their losses start to increase. They initially start gambling for entertainment but later they start gambling to make money or recovering. But you need to start gambling for entertainment rather than money. I think gambling is only for entertainment if it is to earn money it will be huge loss for the gambler.

True, gambling is okay as long as we continue to win, but those who have this mindset are only new gamblers; they have the mindset that they want to become a big achievement in a very short time, and they try to win consistently, but when they lose, they blame gambling as a scam. Even after gambling for 7-8 years, I still lose a lot of bets, but those who gamble for entertainment are not worried about winning consistently, because they stake small amounts. So even if they lose, it is not a big financial loss for them.
