Is Gambling with your hard earned money Worth it because I have come to the conclusion that gambling is a scam

Gambling is not a scam and it's often quoted as one of the oldest pastimes in history. There are no doubt scams that can be run, if but it requires learning how each game works and how it might be abused. Take roulette for example, it gives a tiny advantage to the house that will take your money if you play it long enough - but you might get ahead for short periods. That being said, like every part of life, there will be fraudsters who create completely fake gambling sites with the intention to steal money and can be very sophisticated in their methods. Using general common sense and applying life experience is the only way to avoid being taken.

When someone loses from gambling, it is completely inappropriate for him to label that gambling as a scam. Maybe in some cases, casinos can cheat and trap gamblers, but this is a different case for the OP. A losing streak that makes you lose money is normal in gambling, but this is not a scam.

All gamblers fight the system to gain luck, while others use their skills to win bets on skill-based games. Many gamblers like to gamble on luck-based games, so the chances of losing are higher than winning. They just have to believe that it is difficult to beat the system, gamblers tend to lose in the end.

Gamble is not a game where you make money on a regular basis. I believe every gambler with one than 1 month experience  should know that the possibility of wining is very low compared to lossing especially  in casino games. Well for the aspect of scam, most persons claim that some casinos are scam because of the difficulty in wining and other factor that they've experienced from casino. I don't know much about that but there is something I can tell you for sure, gambling outcome is based on luck  for all kinds of gambling exception of cases where the result get manipulated eg in house games like poker and some gamblers designing their own dice ro be used for dice game. However I kind of understand what the op is saying, the difficulty of most casino games is worth calling a scam, as it's  clear, they are being too partial with results.

Thinking about it critically gambling is a scam because there are no benefits attached to it even though there's a possibility of winning the odds are always against you as a gambler. Everything is set in motion to get you addicted so you can keep playing, you might as well call it hypnosis. If gambling isn't a scam tell me why everyday there's a new bet or casino site coming out, this is because they know that they can take advantage of the greed of people and use it against them. Take it from me gambling is a scam and you can't be  profitable from it.

Gambling is legit but it's a scam in the sense that it can never make you rich instead it only takes the little you have. But you might ask, how about people that have won millions from it? Have you taken your time to ask how they utilized those wins over the years? Most of them end up losing everything back Into gambling. Gambling is something that you aren't forced to go into, every deposit has to be your choice, no one convinced you to do it like it's a ponzy scheme. Gambling is a scam because you can never be financially stable with it but it makes you believe there's a possibility of achieving that.

A scam is when you're being deceived, lied to, or promised fake evidence. But gambling is not a scam because you willingly sign up, deposit your money, and place bets. You made a choice to gamble, and it's essential to practice responsible gambling to avoid feeling deceived.

Agreed, gamble can't be a scam when there are other people making money from gambling because they didn't gamble with over expectations or leveraging more than they can afford losing. It could also be them being lucky but they're not getting scammed hence gambling isn't a scam. Gambling in the right way will make you last long in the casino but many of us refuse to do that and we want to make money as fast as possible by overdoing something that'll later not work in our favour.

Visit some physical casino and you'll be disappointed at the way people lose money that could have been avoided but they'll refuse to listen because they're under an influence of alcohol or some other things that make them to lose their straight thinking capacity and make mistakes often.

You are asking a question after which you have already made the conclusion that gambling is a scam, this is two wrongs altogether you're doing.

Gambling is having fun, but you needed money to use in other to have access to using any gambling platform for gambling, just as the same way no one will ask you were did you get money for the food you're eating or for making shopping and going to the viewing centers, you're also expected to make the right application of this, if you're actually using your money for gambling purpose, it is only left to you where you see the money for doing that.

Why doesn't the OP ask how many scammers there are in gambling instead of blaming the games themselves? Casinos often have various types of bonuses that dishonest players are always happy to receive. Hence, we see many accusations that casinos are scammers who do not pay people their winnings, while they are dishonest and have several accounts from which they want to get more money. Therefore, there is no need to accuse of fraud when people are sometimes scammers themselves.
Gamblers’ attempts to exploit casino bonuses or manipulate the system to suit their personal interests is no longer news you know. But it’s quite unfortunate that they don’t see this as fraud but rather a way of making more money off the casino without following due process. It’s just same thing as attempting to hack the system and extorting the casino. Scams and Frauds occurs in every system, not just in gambling but in gambling, the gamblers are just as guilty as the casinos. Yeah we may have probably heard about multiple casino scam accusations from different individuals, some are true and some are just some big misconceptions and misunderstandings by the accusers, but that doesn’t in anyway make the gamblers the saints and the casinos the devils.

 Cheesy gambling not a scam , it all boils down to the way you approach it they are some people who gamble for fun so they usually use what they can afford to lose , so you can't expect those set of people to call it a scam , it is usually called a scam by those that only focus their mind in winning big alone or trying to get rich quick with it , gambling is all about applying principles so that you can maintain a healthy gambling habits. Not the one that will make lose all your money and endup with such statement ( gambling is a scam ).

Based on my observations about gambling, it cannot be classified as a scam because you are entirely responsible for the games you choose and how you place your bets. No one is forcing or pleading with you to bet on a certain number of games or promising you a guaranteed winning bet. Every bet you make is a decision you arrive at on your own, at your own risk and discretion, without much discussion about the possibility of winning or losing.
That's right, it's not a scam. We're on our freedom to choose whether to gamble or not and it's our personal decision to deposit because there's something in return. And that's to play as entertainment and the potential winning of moving our money is there. So, everything falls of to the idea that when a gambler losses his money with gambling, and cannot easily accept that. It only means that he's got some emotional breakdown blaming gambling is a scam isn't right.

Gambling is a game of fun not really a scam. People who tend to gamble  making it a source of livelyhood tend fall to the category of those people that call it a scam because they gamble and make it a business.

If people could sees gambling as fun and nothing  than money making machine, they wouldn't have been calling it scam.

The gambling is the game which give you both profit and loss based on the strategy and game played by the gamblers.The responsible gambling was the essential one to get away from the stress due to loss and over exceeding because of big profit.The experienced gamblers will see both the profit and loss in same eye.It’s not the way of view,it was the angle of view.This type of gamblers will not worry for the gambling loss and they will take the advantage of gaining knowledge from the gambling loss matches.

I hope OP is not a kind of gambler, who claim he was cheated and casino is scam whenever he loses all his money. I know such kind of people. When they win = they beat casino because they are lucky and smart. When they lose = casino is a scam. Then such people run to forums and try to find people who think the same, so they would calm them down. Because nobody wants to be that one only who has lost, but if there are many losers and who think similar, then it aint hurt so much anymore Cheesy

It seems to me that newbies who discovered the “win-win” strategy of Martingale, but lost big, make such conclusions for themselves. After all, this strategy is described in many sources as “allowing to win”, but they somehow managed to lose a dozen rounds in a row and lose everything they had. I think this situation is familiar to almost every gambler. It is like a heartbreaking cry of a person who lost a large amount of money, but instead of taking responsibility for their loss on themselves, they blame the casino for fraud.

Hi guys let have your view on this questions because only real gamblers will understand what I mean?
Is Gambling with your hard earned money Worth it because I have come to the conclusion that gambling is a scam

Gambling is a choice and as such, if you gamble then you have chosen yourself to gamble. Because I believe, there is no compulsion to gamble and thus, how can something that you have chosen but you consider it a scam. Because anyway, if you think gambling is a scam, then you can avoid gambling in the first place so that your money is safe in your pocket. But maybe, you get a loss so that the disappointment you experience makes you unable to accept the loss so you make your own conclusions like that. Because anyway, if gambling is a scam, then of course the gambling industry will not become big, because the reality is that the gambling industry itself continues to grow so obviously, gambling is not a scam.
Gambling is basically a decision with consequence; every decision we make is responsible. When we play the game it is also fair to say we have to play with the result whether we win or lose. This is a different situation, where the gambler may be more realistic in labelling it as high risk activity than correlation to fraud, for example. We have all the choice of whether or not we participate so the decision has to be based on what the risks are.

Second, if you lose, it’s just human nature to be disappointed. Instead of placing blame on the system, though, we might look to evaluate the decisions we made as a result, for how they intertwined with the larger process. Also, always choose needs over temporary desires so that our money and time are spent on things that have long term returns. This way we will prevent all possible losses and harmony life.

Accepting losses is an important trait for a player, because if he cannot accept it, he is practically doomed to lose and suffer, which in turn will cause depression. And then everything will go like a chain reaction and the end result will be eternal anxiety about whether it was possible to make another bet that would bring a win, etc. The main thing is that after this the player can save the family, because he can transfer all the negative emotions to the house and break down on his relatives. I still advised such players to find strength in themselves and accept losses more steadfastly, because this is part of the game and it is impossible to win all the time.

I sincerely agree with you on this, in gambling  there is no promises made for positive returns hence when things happens otherwise we shouldn't have anyone to blame, well some time it depends on how you got in to gambling, some people got in to gambling through another person and whatever they where told is what they will believe unless maybe they figure things out themselves as time goes by, gambling itself is not a scam unless you are giving a game with so much promises which you got disappointed with result.

You have a point there. Sometimes, those who pretend to be victims from accused scammed casinos are certainly the ones who are scamming the casino themselves. They can’t validate their own actions that’s why they put the blame on the casino instead.

Gambling can only be a scam if it’s run by scammers, but reputable casinos that are managed by good people never turns into scam. It’s the gamblers that are most likely going to cheat on the casino.

To be truthful, gamble is not a scam but there are some scam casinos in the gambling industry. Some of the casino are just there to rip off your hard earn money but generally, gamble is not a scam. However, you can say gambling is scam because you have been trying hard to wager enough money on gamble because you believed that one day you might win, well that's scam and you are the one scamming yourself because you have been wagering your money on gamble thinking that you would win (given your self false hopes). Any time you wagered and you did not win it looks like they have scammed you which is lie because gamble is all about luck, if you are not lucky there is no way you could win.
