I'd argue that for most gambling, it's not a decision, but an addiction or false hope financial decision. Those that treat it as a entertainment don't really gamble that much money. Not sure if that's true by number of gamblers, but my gut says it's mostly true weighed by the amount of money gambled away. I say mostly, because we don't count rich kids / oligarchs wasting money for fun, who might dominate the value chart.
