I have gambled alot till now with both dollar and bitcoin. For me in past i used to gamble mostly in paidverts but recently i have lost around 0.10 btc in santoshimines. I am still gambling a lot and also sometimes i used to bet in football (EPL for present).

Such a small amount, this is a controlled gambling you made there.  Smiley

Their is 2 types of answers , gambling is wrong and gambling is not wrong,

gambling is wrong, if you play in casinos and play without strategy you lose you money , but what ever happens at the end the site owner wins and you are going to lose it .

gambling is not wrong, if you play in sports betting and that too like business, in business we sell products at 5 or 10% margin itself ,  so in sports betting it will earn you only 10 or 20% but at the end you will see that you are in profit .

The gambling addiction is a real problem. and i think most players have already this addiction, because when you win something you think it's better to play again to increase your earnings, and then you can lose everything.
If you can stop gambling after some winning, it should be ok, otherwise you can lose your money easly.

The problem is when you win one or twice or 10 times ,you willl make a deposit and well when you wake up you losted all and another day now you play to recover the money losted,thats why i dont sugest even to start.

What you're referring to is a gambling addiction. People gambling like that need to get help. Seriously!

On the other hand, there are enough people who can handle their gambling. Why should it be wrong for them?

I think you may not be 100% correct because very few people may handle gambling because over the time they will realize it is not correct and finally they will quite from gambling.

If you realize gambling doesn't give you anything and the entertainment isn't worth your time and money, and you step away, I would consider that also "handling gambling correctly".
Yet, this doesn't make gambling wrong for people who have fun with it and can afford to lose the money they gamble with, because they see it as entertainment.

Gambling. Is It Wrong?

Well here's my two cents: If you want to increase your money - Don't gamble. I mean never. Because most likely you will lose more money and you'll get a decreasing instead of increasing.
But on other hand if you just want to gamble for fun, why not? You can even win if you got lucky.  Smiley BUT you should never, ever, gamble more than you can afford to lose.

When you gamble, Make your own rules, and FOLLOW them strictly. 

I have a lot of rules when I gamble, I have "fun" money whether it be bitcoin or cash.  I don't ever lose more than that what I had set aside for the fun money.

Also-know when to quit when you are ahead, I don't ever set a goal for how much I want to be up, because if you are so close to that amount, you might never hit it and then be out of money.  Usually depends on the situation, but if I hit a couple lucky runs, I will say, ok, I am going to be up this amount no matter what, and replace my fun money with profits, so that even if I lose, I still maintain my profit.

Use gambling as a time for fun, don't try to get rich out of it.

It will take your Satoshi... Better mining than gambling... :3

Agreed.
Better mining than gambling.
But when you choose to gambling.. "Make your own rules, and FOLLOW them strictly."
Nice quote leex1528

this can happen only if you are a robot Smiley
i mean when it comes to gambling or anything else that comes to making a decision about money and risking it, we are all human and subjected to emotions. so no matter what rules you have you will break them when your decision making is affected by emotions.
that is how a lot of people end up addicted to gambling and you see them losing money after money.

Use gambling as a time for fun, don't try to get rich out of it.

But you stil have the option to get rich. I was just looking around casinos, some of them have very tight edge, so its not unrealistic, with a bit of luck of course.

These guys are winning 200-300 BTC, constantly, man the big bucks are always at the casino. Yes the house wins slowly, but if you are a whale you can win big, just like those guys.

Or you can just play some poker.

I am not saying you can't get rich out of gambling.  I am saying, the majority of us will not get rich, and it can be dangerous and addicting to try.  I'm saying try and use gambling for fun, make some rules for yourself, follow your rules, don't ruin your life because of gambling, it is supposed to be fun!

Actually mining is better than gambling but the payout of gambling is far more greater than mining. In this world we have to risks sometimes to get better thing so I will choose gambling than mining. But try not to busted all your balance for gambling, only gamble what you can afford to lose and never push your luck to deep

I will say that mining is cool at all, but for example in my country with the 80% aprox. increase in energy taxes, it has became something impossible.  Angry

I basically broke even so far when I comes to gambling, and I've bet thousands across different sites. Some days you win big, others you get wreaked.

Yeah, its totally depends on your luck. Only few times you will win but most of the time you will loose your money, it is like trap so better to stay away from gambling before addicting to it.
