Although I do not think it compulsory for one to have personal gambling experience but for one to be able to have a conversation with others who do gamble, there must have been research on the topic, there must be some understanding of the rules and techniques involved in gambling, there must be knowledge of the gambling industries recent trends, statistics and upgrades, there must also be the knowledge of responsible gambling practices and all the potential risks involved with it.
OK, that's easy. Merely read a few articles about gambling and THAT in your opinion would make people have your "stamp of approval" to post about gambling in BitcoinTalk?
Or are you telling us that there should be some more?
Otherwise, why would one be bold enough to talk about gambling with others who have better and recent experience than you who have no idea nor have ever tried to gamble away some few bucks just to have a story to tell?
I think that when one has a prior gambling experience somehow, it qualifies such a one to openly gist/talk about it and even share strategies that may be accepted and logical enough.
Your opinion is welcomed!
I believe you're taking it seriously. Gambling is just for entertainment and fun. It's doesn't matter if you're the person who has most of the "experience" in BitcoinTalk because you'll always be a long term loser against the entity who has the edge against you.
