I don't believe that gambling will end ,even in the bible gambling do exist and untill now so it will never happen that gambling will gone. People has the attitude of being greedy and people easily get attracted to gambling because they thought that they can easily get money from gambling.
As long as people are willing to bet on something, then gambling cannot just stop or end. And as what have been said in this thread, its gonna be impossible for gambling to end because its becoming a billion dollar business. Like in online dice alone, millions or even billions are coming into the market. How can someone just stop it?
I do not see that coming unless the human being ceases to exist. Even if the government bans it, people will do it secretly like any other illegal activity. The human is known for his greed. Once he wins, he wants to win again and get more money. That is the human nature.
Even the rich people do gamble because they think it is fun and in addition to that, they want to win more money. There is no way out unless the victim who finds himself in the dangerous path has a strong determination to give up gambling.
These days, it is even easier to gamble and stay off from clear eyes than before since everything has now gone digital. Gambling can never end and just as you have said, people will still always find a reason to gamble irrespective of any regulations, laws, personal stuffs and so on. Even gambling is not really that easy to give up most especially for those who got into it for the wrong reasons.
I agree, gambling is not easy to give up especially if you think that it will really bring good results and can change your life by winning the jackpot. It one reason why people continue to gamble and its very wrong. Getting a stable job will change your life for the better, and not by just a roll of a dice or hitting the lottery.
