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

I think addicted gamblers who got bankrupted are always having the impression that gambling is a scam, those who gamble responsibly by betting with the amount of money they can afford to lose as well as earning profit consistently though with little losses would never have the impression of saying gambling is a scam and there are lit of gamblers who gamble for fun especially those gamblers who bet on soccer matches wouldn't classify it as scam because they earn decently from their prediction, for instance the massive numbers of gambling sites is an indication that a lot of gamblers are earning decent profit, had it been gambling is a scam alot of gamblers would have quit the habit.

Yaaah, I agree. Responsible gamblers who only bet what they can afford to lose usually don’t see gambling as a scam because it’s about fun, not chasing money. The ones who end up broke are often chasing losses or don’t understand the risks, maybe they're the one who don't value money too.

Gamblers who bet on things like soccer, nba or esports like league might not see it as a scam if they’re making decent profits from good predictions. If gambling were really a scam, people would’ve stopped by now, but the fact that it keeps growing shows some people are winning.

regular gambling is definitely a scam. however, if you're playing with money you can afford to lose and without overthinking it, it just means you enjoy taking risks. additionally, when there are a lot of players, regardless of the outcome, the house will always be the winner. if you're part of the game and you're not "the house," unfortunately, it's highly likely that you'll lose in the long run.

It's worth it, and if not gambling with my hard-earned money, which money could I have gambled with? As long as I'm still gambling with an average amount that I could afford to lose and won't hurt my finances, then I don't see anything bad with gambling with it. The only place I see gamblers consider gambling to be a scam is when they expect to win the system too much but the system beats them to it.

For something that we depend on luck and do not have any guarantee of winning, I still do not understand why people expect a win always. We can not beat the system because it was designed against us winning. The house will win most times and you get just few wins to keep you happy and continued to play. How to avoid excessive losses should be our goals and we would not be calling gambling a scam. The governments will never allow gambling to exist if it was a scam because they know they will be endorsing scamming legally if that was what casinos are doing to us. There are some bad eggs as casino adjust their machine to not favour any gamblers but not every casinos does this therefore we can not say all gambling platforms are scammers.

Gambling is not a scam. A scam is about a person having something like account, game credits or gift cards which for example you are selling. The buyer received the item (gift card for example) and you did not received any payment. If you think about casinos being scam when they aren't paying their gamblers when they withdraw their balance on their casino is called scam but in my opinion, it isn't. Only the platform is scam and not gambling itself. Gambling is about risking something you have for a chance to get what you want or to get the desired result. Your question should be about "can casino a scammer or not?.

simple example: you play cards with your friend. You won the first game, he won the second game, and then which of you is a scamer? The answer is no one. The same is with gambling in general, no one promises you a 100% victory, you roughly understand the chances of winning and, accordingly, of losing. A completely different question is whether the platform you play on can be fraudulent.

In gambling, house is the winner most of the times i.e. probability of house winning gambler money is more then gambler wining the house money. It's rule of thumb for every game in gambling and it's better that you device your strategy accordingly. There are not many in numbers who have won against the house rather it's the other way round. Having said that gambling sector is still booming which means that more and more gamblers are joining in and giving away there money to the House.

Isn't gambling just a game provided for fun with small amounts and trying your luck?
Gambling is not a scam and it all actually depends on each person's mindset. If you think of gambling as just playing to entertain yourself, it's not a scam. But if you think of gambling as a place to double your money, that's a scam from our own mindset.
Gambling owners never cheat anything from their customers but they only build a business to make money by exchanging the game for money in small amounts and can afford to be lost.
And if you win, believe me it's just a bonus.

I don't usually have this kind of hard feelings to call it a scam after losing a little fractions of my money. The reason why I don't give those losses too much thought is because it's just a small amount to me. Scam is more like a crime but you can not say gambling is scam. If you wagering your hard earned money and you expect to certainly get it back double fold, then you are wrong because it doesn't work like that and that doesn't make it to be a scam. Casinos or bookies doesn't force you to come and start gambling.

To be honest, I use some portion of my income for gambling. But I don't think it is worth to use that income for more than 15%-25% because I will prioritize my daily needs.
Maybe other people can use their income to playing gambling and increase that money but I will not suggests it. That is because they can lose more without having a chance to double their winning.
Gambling is not a scam like other people said but how come you conclude that gambling is a scam? Do you lose a big money so you say like that? Hmm, you need to quit gambling if that is the result that you get from gambling.

Even losing a huge amount won’t guarantee that gambling is a scam. Know that gambling is a business, and in order for them to succeed, the odds should highly favored the casino, not on the random players.

However, if you want to gamble and desperate to win a big amount, then do your due diligence first so you won’t gamble at an illegal casino. Scamming are rampant in unlicensed casinos, so you should have known how to identify a legal from an illegal casino, so you can avoid getting scam and regret losing your funds.

There are many thoughts on this but gambling is not a scam. Why? Its a form of betting where you could lose money from it but it doesnt mean it is a scam, the scam is if you entered into platform and it doesnt play fair or take advantage on you with your money.

Only those who got scam using a scam site will say that. But if the platform proven has fair system then he got loss due to unlucky situation.

If you don't like it then don't do it. If you think it's a scam, then don't do it. Just find something else that interests you and do that...

In many cases, players say that a casino or just gambling is a scam because they lost money. I don't stress about it, a real gambler knows that he can easily lose if it's not his day. We play because we love it and we are ready to spend some money on it...

Gambling will only turn a scam if you only play in grey and shady gambling casinos. You will definitely get scammed there. However, if you are playing in reputable casinos, and those rules and policies in gambling have been clearly explained it to you, then I don’t think you will charge it as a scam even if you end your game with unbearable losses.

Gambling is never a scam, as long as you know what you are doing, and as long as you never see gambling as a get rich quick scheme.

How long have you been gambling? How much have you spent on your gambling?
If you already know that you are using your hard-earned money to gamble, then you certainly know what the results of the bet are. Because there is a chance of winning and losing.
It does not mean that gambling is a scam if you keep losing, gambling will not promise you victory. They offer a chance of winning if you are lucky. If you are not lucky, then just enjoy the game.
If you start to get frustrated with your gambling activities, maybe there is something wrong with the finances you use for betting. Maybe, just my guess.

gambling being worth it will depend on the person, there are a lot of people who think that gambling is a waste of time and money and there are others who think it is not.

gambling itself is not a scam, it is an activity where you knowingly risk something(usually money) and expect to either get something more in return or lose the money you risked. anyway, I am curious, what led you to the conclusion that gambling is a scam?

I would not call it a scam but most probably, lack of self-responsibility towards gambling. If you know how real gambling works, you should be cautious already not to get carried away by your emotions just to satisfy your urge in gambling. Gambling is never a game of making more money but rather its a game for us to find pleasure and get entertained. There’s no easy money in gambling. So you should never risk your hard-earned money and gamble them all, but only set a small amount of your budget so you can enjoy gambling despite of the losses you will gained, at least you only lose the amount you are comfortable of losing.

We all hate scams, and if gambling is a scam, then the government will not allow any platform where people can gamble. If you lose your money because you believe you have been cheated, then its a scam, but in gambling you can check its fairness. It just so happens that in a gambling platform, the house always has an edge, but that does not mean that its a scam.
I think you are losing a lot of money because you have that opinion.

Yeah right, even the government itself has their own gambling in the form of lottery which they are offering gambling to the public while they use the profit on charity works and additional fund of the country.

Scam is fraud while gambling is a form of entertainment that incorporating risk on a fair game. People like OP generalized risk as scam even though everything is transparent on gambling.

I'm sure you might have calculated your wins and losses and realised that your loss supersedes your wins
Well it isn't.
Inherently gambling isn't a scam
But most times odds are designed to favour the house
That's why I just stick with sports betting
The likelihood of house playing trick is low.

Well the first thing here is
Why do you gamble? If you answer that I think you will get your answer.
Nothing good comes easy.

You don't have to conclude that gambling is a scam. What if you are lucky to bet and win the house, what are you going to say? Would it still be a scam? You don't have to conclude just like that when you don't have any reason to back it up.
Gambling is not a scam and you need to know that so you don't confuse the newbies here that are trying their to make some profits from gambling. If you have a bad luck I'm gambling, I think it's a good thing you stop or you luck for game predictions that could help you win some money. You don't expect everyone gambling to be successful dude.

What do you mean by real gambler? Are you referring to a gambling addicts? I am assuming that is what you meant. The core definition of scam is that someone took hard earned money through fooling someone and who is dishonest. A casino can be clever but it does not fool the gambler.

Therefore I believe gambling is not a scam and those who own online or offline casinos are not scammers. They are joints where people/gambler visit to play games which are meant for entertainment. These are those places online or offline where a user or a visitor can enjoy the adrenaline rush with doing anything risky practically as in riding a super bike or super car.
