I have gambled $10 in my life. Less than half of that being my own money. Had an uncle who tried to convince me to give it a go and after 3 $2 bets he gave up. Every workplace I have ever worked I have had to go through the same explanations that I find gambling distasteful and don't want to participate, got a lot of flack from a manager once for pointing out that statistically buying a lottery ticket doesn't significantly alter your odds of winning. Hell buying a ticket once a week for your entire life doesn't do much to change the odds.
