Gambling is not fun, it's an addiction

Yea, it really can become one kitty, thats for sure, and that is the serious part of it.   As with anything, it can go from FUN to bad news for some.  It is unfortunate.I check myself quite a bit to make sure I still find the FUN   in the slots I am playing.  Of course I am still bummed when I don't win.                                                                                      Pam

I really don't know, for me the excitement and fun is extremely different than sports, specially if you're in your game and your pulse is in the mood to play..

I do agree that it is person to person. Some folks are more prone to addictions than others.    There is such a thing as a addictive personality disorder and of course those folks would be more prone to have a problem than others without that situation. It takes will power, self control when gambling.  To be able to say you play for the right reasons.  We all hope to win while playing, but if it becomes something where it is no longer fun, and you find yourself needing to win to recoup your loses, then that is a warning sign of possible problems.                                                                                      Pam
