Some people who say gambling seem like they do not understand the true meaning of gambling which is they think it will be easy to get a win while in reality it is not but that is the mistake.
You're right. Gambling's not exactly a scam, even if it feels that way sometimes. It's a game of chance where the house has an advantage built into the rules. Makes it tough to come out ahead in the long run. Still, people get lucky now and then. Maybe that little bit of hope keeps folks coming back, chasing the thrill of winning. Just gotta go in knowing the odds are stacked against you.
The reason some people address gambling as a scam is most time due to frustration and some other stuff (like the casino been an actual scam) but not gambling it self, the reason most people easily get frustrated is that they usually use money they are not supposed to use are they usually put high expectations in gambling, and we all know that gambling is a game of luck you either win or lose .
Doesn't mean if you lose is scam , gambling is kinda hard because if it's easy it won't be fun.
Not much complicated really, only if algorithms and maths in gambling. But as soon as you start to calculate something, to try to win at the expense of mathematics, that's when gambling addiction appears, which entails losses and addiction. The only exception is poker and poker tournaments, where it is more of a sport than a gambling competition
