Well, according to some religions it is wrong, but I'm not sure they know what they are talking about.

IMO you can gamble if you can controll yourself at least to some extent.
if gambling is a sin. then no matter you are playing it to some extent or up to some limit. still it is sin. some religions have consider gambling illegal and therefore it is consider it as illegal in these countries.

I personally knew a few people, whose lives got destroyed due to their addiction to gambling. IMO, the addiction towards gambling is even worse than that with drugs or alcohol. I have seen a lot of people claiming that they have profited from gambling. But I am yet to see one for real. IMO, the only people who benefit from gambling are the ones who run casinos and online gambling sites.

I do not think that gambling is the wrong thing to do because people should decide for their selves on how they want to spend their money
The only time when I think it is wrong when you have a family and you need to take care of them but instead you are gambling. Maybe in your case it was different, but in the end it is the people them self who can turn their live upside down.

It never should be the gambling's fault in the first place since the gambling sites didn't force you to play rather it is your choice and decision if you want to play. So I don't know why there are people that blame Gambling when they lose.

Don't gamble with money or bitcoins that you need. Put a stop loss level. Gamble only for fun not to earn money.
I know people that earn money with sports bets, but i know more people that looses btw or money betting.

I think that was not your day to play gambling so that you lose money, you don't have enough luck to win the game. Or just stop playing it and just save money that you will use again in gambling. I guess if you save that money instead of playing in gambling you will see that your money will grow little by little.  Smiley

You can surely save money and earn the increased value in other currency when bitcoin goes up but this would take sometime and patient and you always need to keep an eye on the bitcoin movement that is why there are many gamblers that bet on gambling for instant and fast large amount of money I suggest to work on signature campaign and a little faucet it is safe and totally legit.

Problem with gambling is people that can't control it, and waste a lot of money that they need. If you play some bits and you stop when you lose it isn't a problem. If you lose all and start thinking about taking a loan to play more and recover from loses you have a big problem.
yeah it is a problem for many players they will begin to uncontrollable gambling when they start losing their gambling games. It also happened to me, when I started to lose maybe I'll bet a larger amount and maybe using max bet. yeah i cannot control it
Yeah same here i tried any methods testing large amount test low amount of bet but all methods are didnt work..
I think almost all not live games are 10% chance to win..

I do not think that gambling is wrong at all because those people who gamble have earned their own money so they should decide on how they are going to spend it.
It is a bad thing to judge them I would not spend my money in gambling but some people do. 

Well it is not really wrong to gamble, on the contrary for the human's point of view but when money is getting involve with your game I think that gambling will become wrong when people are getting addicted with it, well spending so much or becoming a shopaholic, a drunkard all of the doings of man that are excess or so much would become wrong for them!

It's not wrong.. it's just an addiction that makes you satisfied. If you would try right now to gamble and you never did before, I'm 10000% sure you won't resist a second bet after the first one. It's an addiction. It becomes a wrong habit when you start to sell things to gamble your money. Or when you're betting more than you can afford. That is a stupid idea,and will get you bankrupt very very easy. You need to control yourself and to contril your bets too - try not to be greedy.

Of course there is nothing wrong with gambling.

As everything in life "the dose makes the poison", meaning that as long as you don't exceed yourself and get everything under control, so it does no become an addiction, you should be fine (same as drinking, or any other habits that can go wrong, if you loose yourself).

Control your decisions, control your life. Gambling is not bad if you really know how to control and to be contented.

True maybe wrong is when we are greedy in gambling that resulted in us losing a lot of money. If we have control and gambling has no effect on our lives, it is not wrong in my opinion. We must have control of the bet and not greedy.
Controlling yourself is very important not only in gambling, even in temptation with girls that is also bad as it will lead to negative outcome. Gambling usually played for fun but without self control that will be abuse and will result to disaster.

Yup! a peaceful mind is needed I think meditation can help in making decision more properly I think that is needed when your going to play gambling, unnecessary emotion will be negate if you have a peaceful and calm mind and will prevent addiction from conquering you well that is just my suggestion.

I think gambling wrong or not is depend on the individual, if you gamble in normal state, like for fun or as an entertainment is still ok, but if you already play until you bet all of your wealth, or you become addicted then its time for you to stop, that is the point where gambling is wrong

I think the one who enjoy gambling is the only one winning. Oneself could always lose in gambling because that is what people think you can earn a lot money in gambling and in the end it is only a waste of time and money start to think it as an entertainment and we'll see how is the difference.
That depends if you are more into fun you are a winner even if you lose your money in gambling, but for those who gamble for money they look for a profit in gambling which very hard to achieve and that would come to their mind that gambling is wrong.
Yes true if we gamble to get money is wrong because bitcoin is not able to find the money well. Bitcoin is a game that can be won and lost so heavily dependent on the luck factor. So gambling is a game to have fun and not for profit.

hello everyone.
i want to know what do you think about gambling bitcoin.. Does Beneficial or more losses?
Share your story here guys!  Grin Grin Grin
Gambling use bitcoin i think it is good because it will make more famous bitcoin and about beneficial and losses depend on management of risk in gambling even if it is just for fun we still use management of risk on it.
How bitcoin will be more famous because of gambling.. i think bitcoin will more famous if they use bitcoin for all stores online..
Also if we can use bitcoin in any stores locally like brazil..
the problem is there are not many online stores who accept bitcoin as payment method because price of bitcoin is high fluctuating. It different with gambling, mostly gamblers play gambling just for fun and they don't care about fluctuating of price bitcoin. With gambling it is easy way and fast for bitcoin to become famous than wait until online stores accept bitcoin as payment method it will need much time.

Actually it is according to my experience, I tried gambling before and tried to give effort and time to it, it just makes my family life looks weird, I just realized later on that what if my child grow and ask what am I doing, definitely it would be shameful if I would tell that I am gambling earn extra money..  Cheesy
well, better you would is do not tell him/her that you earn extra money from gambling sites, just tell him/her that you will just playing online games just for your past time. So that he/she will not get curious about gambling. Cheesy
Better not to play or stop immediately when your child notices you that you are too busy playing online gambling.  For them not to be involved in online gambling sites.

Much like alcohol, something shouldn't be forbidden for adults to do just because the kids can't do it either.  They should be talked to at an appropriate age and taught that while it can be a fun pastime if you play with what you can afford, it can very quickly get out of control and ruin your life (like any other addiction).  Be a good example and play moderately if you decide you do, and if you lose money use that as a life lesson that you can pass on.
