I think it is.
1)Get exercise running from bookie and walking through the casino
2)Active sexual life because of access to hookers and barreled in related favors
3)Mental health issues seem less glaring in comparison to people in casino environment
4)Gambling enables you to traverse trying personal issues. Grandma died? What's the spread on next Eagles game? Lost your job? Roll them dice. Wife left you? Have a comped beer from the sportsbook on the house.
5)3-4 month vacation every couple of years for rehabilitation. I mean Brock Landers doesn't look a day over 60.
6)Lots of social interaction. Complain about bad beats to fellow gamblers. Exchange cultural experiences with Asians and Greeks.
7)Fosters spirituality. Lots of prayer for that next flip of a card and you can adopt Buddhist philosophies when you go broke to deal with crushing poverty.
I mean if you think about it is there really any reason not to gamble??????
