Gambling is not wrong unless you play with correct intention. Whether you are playing to make money or just for fun. We can make good money if we play well.   
Other people thought gambling will make them rich, but its not. Greed is one of the thing they should control coz it could lead you more losses. Gambling is a risky game. You will be broke in an instant. Its up to you how to manage your self.

well if you are a lucky guy then maybe you can win a jackpot with a single bet. But the odds of that happening is maybe 1 out of 1 million. I am yet to see gamblers becoming millionaires and maintaining that wealth til old age. It is better to get rich thru hard work because you will value the money you earn. That will keep you wealthy through old age.

Yeah, it is indeed very true. win in the jackpot is the most fun and it will make us more confident against gambling, after that we are experiencing an addiction. When addicted to then benefit we get when getting the victory in gambling will be lost because we always triumph and defeat. This will not make us rich and this just makes us fall poor

it is definitely not wrong, people earn their own money and they can do whatever they want with it, in my opinion no one should tell people what is wrong and what is not if its legal

That is definitely true but not all countries apply the same thing, gambling on some countries is illegal but they still open it and try to attract more people to play. I dont say that gambing is wrong because it is for their business, the one is wrong is its people that played with it, may be if you can control it then it is good thing but mostly many people cant control it and this is sure the wrong thing
I think nowadays, although gambling is illegal in some other countries but they are free to gamble with the use of bitcoins. Bitcoin made it possible for all the gamblers to connect to each other and build a strong community in the gambling. We should thank them as they help to improve the economy of bitcoin.

And we should not warn others that they are heading into a cliff because they are driving legally, right? Its their car and their own life, why should we warn them? I think that if we know that something will result to a bad situation, we have a moral obligation to at least warn others. We know that gambling will not lead to any good, so we warn you that it is wrong.
Yeah it may help someone to know if they are doing wrong or right. so that they will be nor regret in the future if they do something bad ..
We are just warning them its just a given caution. well if they are not mind it  their choice..

That's a good thing that we are warning them, we are not disabling them to do gambling but they must know that gambling becomes wrong if it becomes their first priority and that is wrong if they are going to prioritize it. Because family must be set to be the first priority and as well your studies (if studying) and your job.

it is not an alibi for me because I do enjoy gambling although I am losing, I make sure that the amount I bet is the amount I can afford to lose, I think there is no problem with your gambling hobbies if you know what you are losing.

The problem is when you lose control of yourself and you get addicted to gambling. There is almost no going back if you get addicted. Your life may get from bad to worst so rapidly. Gambling maybe a good stress reliever but if left unchecked can be a bad habit to form. It can ruin relationships and financials if you get addicted to it.
Yeah addiction is a bad/wrong thing not gambling, if someone gets addicted to gambling it's almost impossible to stop gambling. i used to gamble daily, but not anymore i'm glad that i put an end to my daily addiction lol.
Seems like your words was contradicted.
You said it is almost impossible to stop gambling, but you said too that you used to gamble and now you did not. Pfffft
Nothing wrong with gambling actually it is a fault on your end.
I'm not completely off the hook, i do gamble but not daily/regularly.just sometimes whenever i have some free time/whenever there's a contest like primedice's.

Well the cause of addiction is gambling that is why it is wrong and have been banned in other countries, just like drugs right? drugs are wrong whenever you heard the word Drugs you would think twice right! that is why gambling and addiction would pretty sure coexist and it will cling to other gamblers but I am not saying all gamblers can be affected by this addiction there will be a certain trigger to start anyone's addiction.

Well it is just going to be wrong if you are getting worst with it. You are exchanging your family for gambling then that is the case that it turns wrong.

But if you know your limits and priorities there you are still on the normal thinking. Make sure the you are going to set goals for yourself.

Before you are going to gamble.

In my opinion ,  gambling is not wrong but the wrong is the player while they can't control their emotion or limit their profit.
And if you really addicted with gambling while you usually win on longest streak and becoming greedy , it's the sickness of gambling players.

That is the most reason why gambling is really wrong, even with players controlling their bets they will eventually realize that gambling really is nothing but mare coincidence and luck if they will keep on playing it they will end up losing so much that their entire savings will be all gone! Well to tell you the truth gambling really isn't for people with losing much to their emotions and actually that is the side effect of the wrong doings of a gambler and gambling is really wrong wherever you look at it.

Gambling is not wrong unless you play with correct intention. Whether you are playing to make money or just for fun. We can make good money if we play well.   
True gambling is not wrong as long as is done with the right intention. I think if the gambling is done with the intention to earn income is wrong because gambling is a game and should be done to have fun.

The problem lies with the fact that money is the main motivator to gambling and the casinos know this. You can't honestly say people gamble for fun  half the people who say that are just lying to themselves to excuse their behavior and loss.
Absolutely. The entertainment side is only an alibi when losing too much in gambling. They are just tricking themselves that they did it for fun so that the loss will not hurt so much.
Some people really treat gambling as an entertainment cause in my opinion not all people use gambling to earn money. Cause for them gambling is just like arcades I think depend on a gambling game, some arcade game you will just waste your money and no money in return but the enjoyment you felt is the one thing you get in it and that is your payment of your enjoyment the money that you buy a token. In some people they use gambling as like that, they pay for their enjoyment and if they lose that is fine cause they use their money intended only in gambling.

I really like you. I use gambling to have fun and if I wanted to gamble I leave some of my bitcoin to gamble and I never bet entirely. I usually gamble poker and sports betting, I really liked it. Sometimes wrong in gambling is that if people are addicted to gambling because it can cause problems.
