Yeah I agree with you I sometimes gamble when I want to make money and the amount is kind of high. I also gamble for fun sometimes. But I kind of get your point , when I gamble for earning the design doesn't matter but we gambling for fun it matter because I mostly look for sites which have the most realistic views even though they can't match to the casinos but still that's what really entertainment for me.

You are definitely not gambling for fun, you are doing it for money. Wether you want to accept it or not, you are doing it to get more money. If it is for fun then just play with the free token, the gane that you will play is pretty much the sane wether it is real or free token and of course the fun that you will have is the same as well

If your always in badluck is it wrong but if you are always win is it right so if you are always a winner it is right and therefore if you are always in the losing is wrong. He he. It is a matter of destiny i guess.

Gambling is just a type of entertainment. According to what you are saying, does going to movie theater wrong because you need to lose some money for the ticket? Gambling is not illegal and that is why some country actually allows it.
i do not think that gambling is entertainment i think gambling is one of the most difficult job need more concentration and full of tension as there is always a chance of losing money. gambling is in fact a game of money where one can make money or can even lose their own money.
It is entertainment sometimes in real life only online gambling is kind of boring all those slots and stuffs while real gambling is really fun to olay and watch but in terms of trust I think online gambling is better as they have probably fair. But it is obvious that you will either double your investment or lose everything and it also it isn't a job as people who actually gamble to make a living are doing are really risky job as one bet can make a life out it or maybe lose everything he has.
online gambling is not boring even not a single format of gambling is boring and specially if you are making money. gambling become more attractive when we are making money. and we really feel it boring if we are losing money. therefore i think the winning and losing is responsible for boring and enjoyment in gambling.
I don't think so I mainly gamble in sports betting and have lost pretty big amounts recently so I guess I'm quitting sports betting. And online gambling no I don't really lose the site I currently use for sports betting has an casino and till now I have invested 20$ and earned 40$ from it. What I meant by boring is that the slots and roulette is way different in real life to watch than in online gambling.

Well different people have different definitions of whats fun and whats boring. For some, it depends on winning or losing. For others, it doesn't matter as the fact of gambling itslef already gives them satisfaction whether they win or lose. It anyone's preference and i think the same goes for gambling's definition if ita right or wrong. It's how you look at it from your perspective
Yeah I agree with you I sometimes gamble when I want to make money and the amount is kind of high. I also gamble for fun sometimes. But I kind of get your point , when I gamble for earning the design doesn't matter but we gambling for fun it matter because I mostly look for sites which have the most realistic views even though they can't match to the casinos but still that's what really entertainment for me.

When the person gambles as a hobby, I  think that it's a good thing. If the person loses money and tries getting a winning streak by going all in, then it is reckless and that person shouldn't gamble because it'll only get worse.

Considering gambling as a hobby might cost you more money..  Smiley I don't look at gambling that way, and it looks wrong to me to make it a hobby... Instead, I look at it as a filler, something that I do when all is done and I still want to do something, that's where I might consider gambling, and since it's not my focus, I usually don't give it much amount and effort, I just bet and I'm done, win or lose, I'll leave...   Smiley

I agree, I am also not focussing on my gambling activities and just gambling or fun. And I do use their faucets so I can avoid using my own. Thats why I dont usually win, Ijust use faucet satoshis but the thing is, I am having fun. So dont really take gamblinh as a hobby, I think it is the same as addiction.

Gambling be positive when a person needs to take a break or recreation, and gambling becomes negative if they become addicted because they take your time.

Taking away time is not wrong at all. What is the real serious threat that gambling can cause is that it took away your financial ability. It can make the whole family get into dire situation and may even need loanshark or law to step in. Countless of families have been broken up due to gambling.

The thing is, how will you put a boundary between negative and positive in gambling. You'll only notice it when you are already in there. Putting a limit on our gambling activity would make it to the positive side, just don't break your own rule and you will be fine.

It takes a lot of experience to have control, however, as a newbie we should keep on reading and learn from others mistake than experiencing it our selves.

If you can treat gambling properly i guess there is nothing wrong.
But since nowadays a lot of people use gambling as source of income things turn wrong and worse.
They can not afford to lose but want to keep playing and get profit, it is not makes sense .

Alot of people cant control what they are doing so it is still advisable to stay away from gambling no matter what. Of course unless you own a very alrge amount of money that you dont care and willing to throw away than that is fine and apart from that it is actually wrong to gamble as it might lead to addiction
no , when you have a lot of money to spend you might will not choose to gamble at all.
there's a lot of fun things to do rather than have to spend their money into casino.
so basically it is not about the money you have , but about how you manage yourself to not ruin your life with gambling, the key is to do it occasionally, then gambling will not go wrong.

Of course that depends on the person, some people will choose other kind of things to do instead of gambling because they know that they dont really need it and of course if someone choose to gamble then he will have full responsibility for his own life because there is a high chance that gambling might ruin his life
someone with a lot of money will have a difference thought , you know why ?
you might often experienced when you won big amount of money you will just spend it on anything in front of you.
so does when you have a lot of money , gambling is not the first choice, those people who need money make it as first choice and it is completely erroneous.

I think this depends on how a person gamble.  There are times when a person needs to relieve his stress or take a break from a stressful jobs and so they find gambling as a tool.  It will only become wrong when a person become addicted and lose control creating negative impact to his life.

Playing free bets is enough if you don't want gambling to share your budget with other things. Having to relieve stress with playing gambling I think is good if you won't stress out more when you lose, otherwise, just find another way to relieve stress.

Gambling isn't for people who can't accept defeats, and those people with obsession as it will just turn their past time in gambling into worst situation.

Gambling should be used as a form of entertainment and recreational activity when you are away from work.

Some people are gambling when sitting in the office, trust me on that. Smiley

It gets to be wrong when you are laundering money through a casino which can get you into trouble or jail most likely.

Not only because of that gambling can be wrong. Actually you've mentioned a rare case. Mostly gambling is wrong when someone becomes addicted to it and loses money or time or both to to this activity.
Yes, people do gambling in office, but they will not play in work time. When they get free time, they will play some games in gambling. I am also in this category. But I will not play in front of my colleagues. When I am alone in my cabin, i will play. And very rarely I will open gambling site in office. And the gambling is not wrong, but addicting to gambling is wrong. 

Agree with you mate. Gambling is definitely not wrong when you are just playing with it for fun and entertainment. When you are already playing almost everytime and addiction kicks in, that is the time that gambling is really a no good hobby.
It depends on how you are playing with it and what kind of games you are doing. Every time you play, you should keep in ind your limit, it could help you with gaining knowledge for yourself to be disciplined and of course, profit. In the long run, if you keep winning even in small amounts, it could lead you to a large profit soon enough.

In this case dude, its not gambling that will ruin his lifr but his attitude towards it. Lets face it, when we talk about gamblers, we talk about a wholeot of differrnt people. I think there are people who can very well handle gambling as how its supposed to be handled and by that, what they get is pure enjoyment and fun and of course a couple of winning sometimes. Then there are these people who rrly too much on gambling with what they do everyday, they get their emotions mixed up, forget that thry have a lifr outside gamblig and the likes. These are the people who puts gambling away from the fun and enjotable activity that it is and places it among those vices that can seriously ruin one's career, family and life in general

Most of the people puts gambling in a serious activity and they make fun as an excuae of their habitual betting problem. Gambling is not wrong to those people who put limitations on their life and to those who think welfare for family and for themselves. That makes it wrong if the budget intended for the needs of family will be used to spend for betring and many cases will be affected like financial support, and personal relations to special people of your life even loved ones.

Those preaching morality on this thread should shut up and go away. Gambling is a business and as a business people profit from it just like your trading business or your real estates business and they pay taxes to the government just like any other. The customers on the other hand make away with wins and some of them have different lives after a big win. Students are able to fund college, pay off debts and even buy houses from gambling so tell me what's wrong with this. Take a visit to Las Vegas , Nevada and tell me if gambling is a bad thing.

I don't see anything wrong with it so far as every customer makes his profits and the bookies together with their staff make a living out of it and pay taxes. It's just like every other job so I see nothing wrong with gambling.

Gambling is not a job unless you are a proffesional gambler. Even so most people will lose so not everyone is going to be happy when they gamble, the only one that will be happy is the owner of the site as they are going to get profit in the long run so dont think that this is going to be for everyone's life
if there's in an exception then it's a job lol . there's no harm for anyone who want to try building a way to make money in gambling as long they didn't do something hurt. but yeah would be better to stay safe and gamble for entertainment purpose only. never think to having profit just enjoy every single moment you got from gambling.
