No it doesn't make sense, gambling looks like a scam only if you treat it the wrong way, like the majority of gamblers in general who come with the intention of making a lot of money, and I'm sure the idea or assumption of gambling as a scam comes from the mind of a gambler who has lost a lot of money instead of making a lot of wins as they expected, that's why we always advise not to make gambling a place to earn income, because the concept of gambling will never allow you to get everything you want. So it means it's not the casino that cheats you but your own mind that cheats you with various unrealistic hopes and beliefs, on the other hand it's actually an unreasonable idea because after all there is never any coercion or even threats from the casino to us to continue gambling, so all those actions are based on our own wishes.
The thought or opinion that gambling is a scam in the end is just a form of frustration from ourselves because we always lose in gambling but logically in the end gambling is clearly gambling not fraud because it is a business that is managed to provide satisfaction to people who want to be in it.
In addition, there is no element of coercion in gambling even if we see the situation that is happening now we are even voluntarily in gambling which proves that this is not a scam because we ourselves want to enter it.
The personal assumption that gambling is a scam is not to blame because it goes back to each person's beliefs but forcing to generalize that gambling and fraud are the same thing is clearly unjustified in the end.
Well that's it, I also think like that that assumption comes out of a gambler's mind as a form of annoyance that they experience due to always experiencing defeat, on the other hand maybe I will simply call them losers because in any case defeat should not be a problem in gambling because that's what gambling is like.
Therefore this is the reason why many people including me often advise anyone especially beginners to first understand and understand what gambling really is, because often various bad disasters start because gamblers who are involved bring the wrong understanding.
So a gambler should not assume like that because it is the same as showing how stupid they are, and yes it is true that gambling and fraud are two different things, fraud is something that happens unexpectedly or without any indication at the beginning while gambling is clearly an activity that leads to two things at the end of the game, namely between winning or losing.
