I admit it I love it . Money won is twice as sweet as money earned! As you age and get more money and less fit and less inclined to go out and sweat or get injured( have never lost a day of work getting hurt at the dice table-pay attn. weekend ball players,cycleists) Poo-Poo it you want to but as America ages gambling will get bigger,the asians love it also -its a way to let out competitive spirit and not injure or inconvience ourselves.also 24/7 operation fits my weird schd. as I can leave work and go clean up and get to the casino at my own time and they are there unlike other hobbies that are locked into time constraints

For me, it's a challenge, it appeals to my competitive side, and it's thought-provoking. Whether it's poker, sports betting, etc. you are always looking for an edge. In poker, I read theory, play, and discuss hands to find the best way to play. In sports betting, I build predictive models and try to identify areas where I can find an edge vs. the sportsbook.
If you get decent at it it's pretty good money, but even beyond the money, it's fun to try to outsmart your opponent. And if you're responsible about it and can control yourself, you can learn a lot from it.
EDIT: If you are talking about things like roulette or slot machines, where there's no way to get an edge, then I can't help you. I don't get it either.

I like it, but the trick is to make sure you are sensible and set a limit. If you lose, do not try to win it back as you will tend to lose more. You need to be strict with yourself.
I love it, but I can control it.
