When I was growing up, I had a lot of experience gambling on games like:
---arm wrestling
---card game
----PlayStation competition
----dice
----animal racing
----food eating gamble
----playing soccer
This is just some of the games that you are playing in your locality. You just added the fact that you are betting on which team or which animal will win. Is it considered gambling? Yes because betting = gambling, but this isn't the games that we are seeing right now on some gambling sites or some casinos etc.
And so much more but its seem the world has evolved so greatly and many things we do before, have now been inputed in the internet and its now makes it access alot easier but I had some recent arguments with some folks in my locality that before, gambling physically with people was more fun than doing online in these recent casino that seem to cover all of our old gambling habits but I argued on the latter. So I thought I should drop here and here some of opinion of most advance gamblers with lots of gambling experience.
This question is a subjective one if you will ask me.
There are some people who wants to socialize with other people in person thus, they see gambling in a physical casino more fun than online. They are the ones who wanted to see people around them while gambling that's why they prefer it. On the other hand, there's the ones like me who is an introvert guy who loves gambling more online than in physical. I don't know the exact reason as to why I see online gambling more fun to me, but maybe it's because of the fact that there's no gambling here in our place where I can attend physically, or it's because of my trait.
After all, people see physical gambling more fun than internet gambling, and vice versa. What's important is people are gambling without any stress. People are gambling because they are entertained to do it. People are gambling because they find it relaxing.
