El Jefe said:In the long run, I'd have to say yes. It's given me some fun moments over the years though. Hard to say if I could have made life just as fun on my own without doing it. In the end, you have to figure if you didn't gamble, you'd probably end up doing something else bad - drinking too much, drugs, eating too much, heavy smoking, etc. Hard to find anyone without a "vice" of somesort.
