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

The question is, how can you say gambling is a scam? Do you have any basis for that? Losing isn’t proof of a scam—unless they ask for your money and then vanish. Scams usually happen on scam sites, so if you happen to gamble on one of those, your money’s as good as gone. But that doesn’t mean all gambling is a scam; it is just the site you’re using that has the issue.

If you believe gambling will make you rich, you’re just fooling yourself with an unrealistic expectation. Sorry, but I believe you may have been thinking it wrong, and it's possible that you've been misled by others. The truth is, gambling can make you rich if you get lucky—but it can also make you lose a lot if you keep chasing after it.

It's not clear what you mean. If you sat down to play poker with a cheater, then this game is a scam. If you have lost your money in physical roulette and therefore call gambling a scam, then this is just nonsense. You should never play for money, the loss of which is critical for the player. This is the main principle. It is better not to play than to play for the latter in the hope of a big jackpot.

Gambling is not a scam because you were not promised to be rewarded after placing your bet. It's only a try your luck game which you are aware of. Gambling is for fun and you are to pay for having fun in a casino but you still have the chance to win back your money or more if you're lucky to your while having fun. Nobody will sweet talk you into gambling, only if you fall for those influencers but the greed of reaping from where you didn't sow is the problem, because you know that the chance of winning your bet is 50-50 and you went ahead.

You've summarized the reason why gambling cannot be categorized as a scam because the gambler is not promised to be rewarded after a bet, this is the conclusion of the matter. Scam is when you're deceived with a promised of profit or reward after giving your money, then they'll either abscond or give you unreasonable excuses of why they won't pay you. Gambling is a game of luck and anybody that wants to engage in it needs to understand that it's not a money doubling scheme, it's where you play a game and hope to win. On the other hand the gambler is playing against the house, he want to win their money and they too likewise wants to win the gamblers money, that is why it's called gamble.

You are trying your luck when you gamble. Since the math is clear, the system is not a scam but a chance that can be have a positive or negative outcome.

Depending on what the context OP is referring to, if the game you played is provably fair, then you would be wrong to accuse the casino of scam. But is the game ending up in a negative turn over time? Yes that is what the math is supposed to end up like.

Gambling itself is not scamming, it is a brilliant method to guise the odds of the game and instill false confidence and greed to the player.

Do not mind him. He wants to be making money from gambling, not knowing the gambling sites are created in a way that the casinos will make money from people that are using their sites. This is one of the stupidest thing that I have heard of in this year. Something that you know what could be the outcome should not be seen as scam. It is not by force that someone should gamble. Also nobody is telling nobody to gamble. It is by choice.

Gambling is no scam because it's a whole a bold system. It comes with complex and smooth ground, understanding it wouldn't be a problem for anyone. Know the basis, get acquainted with the whole set. Everyone have general access to gamble, it's all about brilliant choices that would be settling for us to fit in. Perhaps taking into consideration about making personal decisions, they do take time, more reason we should thoroughly think before taking any step in gambling. Been able to place wager on game is completely at your own free will and not imposed on anyone. We should make the necessary decision by ensuring to sealed big winnings, knowing the absolute figure to gamble with and circulating our risk management.

If you lose money in gambling then you will say it is a scam, then what if you gain profit in it will you also say it is a scam against gambling. Gambling is a bet and you will feel the loss if the bet does not go according to what was bet while fraud has a different pattern. People associate gambling with fraud because of the reason of losing money because they lose in betting but if they get profit then they will not mention fraud. You must understand the impact when you want to engage in an activity so you don't blame fraud for losing money when betting.

First we have to define what the word scam means, according to Cambridge dictionary

It depends on where you are playing; if you're playing in a licensed casino and you can verify its fairness, you cannot say that gambling is a scam, but if you are playing with a cheater in a card game and you lose, its the guy that scams you, not the game.
If you think that gambling is a scam, then by all means don't gamble; people hate to be scammed, and I'm sure you are one too.

If we judge it in terms of result then it is clear that it will not be worth it because we gamble to have higher percentage of defeat and by losing more money there will be condition where there is feeling of disappointment, but if the assessment is based on pleasure or entertainment then we will consider it as form of payment for the pleasure itself so that we can accept it when losing money.
This will depend on how each individual approaches gambling, but I am curious why you consider gambling scam because in reality there are so many people who continue to gamble.

Relax. Saying that gambling is a scam is the same as saying that your life is a scam. You gamble virtually on every step you made. Step to right instead of left ^{or visa versa} may change your life forever. Sure there are some fraudsters/scamers in the gambling field but experience gamblers commonly recognize and avoid them. Gambling part of the life. ^{Even sperm cells gamble with one another thus you owe it to gambling to come into the world.}

It's not a scam but it's up to you if you want to gamble. It's a choice.

There are winners in sports betting so you cannot call it a scam. If you know what might be the results of one game then you can win. In slots and casino games though, it's difficult to win because there's a system that is on the advantage of the gambling site itself. Well, the fact that they are a business means they must make money and that's how it is done.
Do remember, they are not a charity, they will keep on taking money because that's how business works, and giving back is so rare that you will just be frustrated if you keep on playing. The trick is to quit when you win and then don't ever come back.

No, gambling isn't a scam. It's just a game. That's how I see it and nothing more. In other words, it's not also a shortcut to making wealth. It's just a game and like any other game, winning is dependent on luck. So, if you're going to equate your losses in gambling to mean it's a scam then you truly don't understand the real definition of scam. A major nag to gambling is that it gives one that hope of winning at every attempt and when that doesn't come, dejection and anger may come in replacement of hope.

It is not a strange thing when many people experience defeat with the gambling they do because it is a natural thing to happen, because casinos in this case are looking for profit so it is natural that many people experience defeat.
I assume for those who are not ready to lose should not gamble, understand well what gambling is, for example we already understand that this is a business then there is no hope placed on gambling such as hoping to get a big win easily. I myself admit that victory is something that is desired but we must be able to see that this is a business so there is no victory that will be easily given by the casino to its players for free.

If you think you will always make money in gambling, no wonder it make you think gambling is scam.

So the first thing you need to do is delete this thought.

You should view gambling as an entertainment, where gambling will make you happy.

The same thing when you go to cinema, movies, art museum etc, you're not gaining anything after going to such place, instead you pay money to get the ticket and it make you entertained.

It is easier to believe that gambling is a scam, because winning isn't promised, this is not a staking platform where you use money to make more money by staking an amount for a short or long period of time to make a certain percentage, gambling is a game of luck and anything that is simply based on luck is considered very risky, the chances of losing money on the platforms are very high.

What you hoped for is what you will get in gambling, the more you set your mind on making large amount of money you will probably lose a lot, and the less the amount you risk the more gambling become exciting to you.

Gambling is entertainment. It is a game where sometimes someone wins, and there is also an option to lose. How can gambling be called a scam if the person who wants to participate in it pays money on their own and plays voluntarily? Who told you that you are obliged to win every time you decide that you are running out of your honestly earned money, and you should find new funds? Sounds stupid. Therefore, for those who understand that they will come to the casino or sit in front of the monitor and play a few games, trying their luck as entertainment, gambling does not carry any dangers. But those who decided that the casino was obliged to give them the jackpot since they allegedly found their strategy could call the games whatever they wanted.

Gambling is a 50-50 thing, its either you making a profit or you are not!

And a person is more likely to call it a scam if they aren't making any profit from it...and why call it a scam in the first place when we have seen people among our communities win, news tabloids have run stories of people winning big and we still doubt it or call it a scam...

You know one fact that sticks, by nature we humans are greedy and always want to win...we are programmed like that...from the first race of life now this...I understand this might be coming from not winning, but keep trying it will one day go in our favor.

Yep, sometimes you will hear these kinds of words from people who keep losing in gambling. I know some people also make this as joke every time they lose, especially in online gambling, lol.
For sure some people say this is because sometimes, their money is fast to lose and everything is already programmed or fast-paced games.

Many claim that the casino games are actually rigged, for which, in the long run, if you place a big bet, then ultimately you will lose your money. Now I don’t know how far this is true or false. Hence, I decided to not play casino games anymore. Now only I bet on sports events. Sports games cannot be rigged, and you need to just rely on your luck to win the games. Here you will be saved from getting scammed.

Let's take the definition of "SCAM" based on a quick google search:

Quote

a dishonest scheme to gain money or possessions from someone fraudulently, especially a complex or prolonged one:

Is gambling a dishonest scheme? I don't think so. Are they gaining money fraudulently from the gamblers? Absolutely not because it's the decision of the gamblers to gamble. Yes they're promoting it to attract people, but it doesn't mean that you can call it as "fraudulent" because it's legal and it's our choice on whether we gamble or not.

Gambling using your hard-earned money definitely isn't worth it, but is there any money that's earned "THE EASY WAY"? Is there a thing called easy-earned money nowadays? Gambling in general isn't a scam just because many gamblers are losing money on it. Gambling your hard-earned money only is worth it IF you end up winning using that money but aside from that, it isn't. I hope that many will change how they think about gambling.
