You will always find that believers practice cherry picking. The other interesting thing is how true that is for oneself, but it gets way more complex then.
What comes to gambling, that is sure true for people who play games that are -EV, but even there, when the wins are big enough and you are not gambling too much, it is more like a national hobby.
If I think I usually play with +EV (even the national hobby can be +EV even when it isn't), it then is not gambling, and the only thing that can make it bad is that it is life -EV, and as so needs serious thinking of how one should manage one's life and gambling.
Personally, if I would have a better option, I would "gamble" less, but as I don't have, talk to the hand. Not that there are no good things also, and I have quite a bit enjoyed the journey also, and it much depends on management also. But sure, if this is not for you, or you have better things, gamble less.
