> Losing a few hundred dollars every now and then is fine
Agreed. I think everyone has that freedom to do so. I'm just commenting on the gambling trend I see in my peer group. That said, a few hundred dollars means different things to different people, and without diving in, these friends should not be losing a few hundred dollars every month.

I feel like there's some hostility in this comment. I'm sharing an anecdote anonymously on an online forum in a relevant thread. I don't have these conversations with our mutuals.
however, if we ever came up with such an indicator the gambling companies would be quick to campbells-law it to death so people would ignore it
I don’t really get skiing, it’s a very expensive and dangerous activity to me, yet to others it’s a whole lifestyle. Fine by me, put knives on your feet and fall down a hill. Life is short, find your dumb thrills, it’s fine.
You don’t need to gamble yourself, that’s not the point, just maybe understand that you’re talking shit about “friends” behind their backs? Kind of a dick move where I am from.
