Any game that includes money is gumble. There are legals and illegals too. But for me whether it is legal or illegal it will only lead the person who plays with it to addiction, then loss and degredation. Some would say, participating in it in a minimally is not bad but the beginning may not be bad but it will eventually lead it to being bad. Winning once, twice  or trice is good and it is addictive but it could also follow a series of loss and could lead a person into a deeper problem like debts, and big financial problem. Some would even sell properties and are left with nothing and dire. So in my opinion it is to be avoided.

Hi guys!
Many people find gambling a bad habit because of many various reasons. One of them is the fact that gambling is considered to be an asocial activity. But are they right? Do you really think that gambling is making you asocial? Or it's the right opposite? Have you ever find new friends while or thanks to gambling? Do you ever gamble with someone else? Would you take part in some kind of a team based tournament? Or can you think about anything that could make gambling more social activity? Maybe we can change this with your help!
Let us know what do you think about that

Do you really think that gambling is making you asocial?
To some people yes!(which is already proven) but not everyone!

Some Gamblers became asocial because of habits and addiction they got from playing gambling
there are also some gamblers who made friends through gambling(Including me) and actually made
them more sociable.

I have couple friend's on Facebook now that I met on difrent sites. Couple are from my country, and couple from several countries. Usually I talk with people when I play poker, and like you said not everyone is friendly, many don't like to talk at all. But I like to comment hands, to share my opinion and sometimes I click with someone and wr share Facebook, or twiiter and we talk later. We inform each others about some good tournaments, promotiobs.
Even we never met in live we lend money to each other, without any interest, and I never had a problems with them. With one guy I talk almost everyday he is from city close to mine and he is a trader, he gives me tips from time to time.

I gamble for fun so i usually play with my friends. I also make some friends whenever I gamble with strangers. So, gambling can also be a way to socialize.

playing gambling with our friends is also fun while we can talk each other and play together. sometimes i am playing with my friend too but unfortunately, my friend is better for playing gambling than me. still its another experience for us if we can played with our friend so we can share our experience with them.
I was also playing gambling with my friends but after getting introduced into online gambling playing in group was getting insignificant. I never get chances to gamble in real casino where usually people enjoying gambling in group but the case with online gambling is totally different. I'm expecting some new gambling revolution which will be allowing us to gamble with our known friend still online. If it is happening in near future then I believe I can re-gain the social aspect of gambling by enjoying with my friends.

I have found many friends in offline casinos when I used to play slots. I cannot call them true friends because I only was hanging around with them when we were playing at the same casino and were playing slots near to each other. We kept socializing and discussing different aspects of gambling, we talked about sport betting too and exchanged different strategies but that's it. Once I left the casino, I don't know what happens to him nor he does what happens with me and my life.

Well for casual.gamblers like us, yeah it really is a lot better to gamble with friends without any pressure and high expectations. Gamble for just the fun of it. No stress so losing won't hurt that much and winning would be lot times more fulfilling.

All people bet with their friends in different things. Especially the atmosphere for betting is high on sports bets when there are popular tournaments.
People will bet for their favorite team to win over others. (or vice versa)
If only I could bet with my friends all the time then I will surely do it, at least I do not have to pay for the juice in sports betting or accept the house edge like playing in the casinos. Unfortunately, we cannot have it all the time, the last time I played with my friends was when we have a reunion in college and we played cards particularly poker and it was fun although I did not really win the game.

Also, there are times I gamble with my office mates when there is a big event in the NBA like playoffs time or NBA Finals, and it's more fun than gambling online.
This kind of gambling I also did many times when I was in the college hostel. But I did not play card games because I was not known that game very well and tried to learn but not possible I lost few times and I stopped to play cards game. I did many sports betting with my friends it was so fun and I won many times. But I realise one thing we don't play any money involved game with our friends because we will lose our friendship.
It is good to play money with friend if we can treat them , like aftee the play if you win the winning will be for the bonding though maybe if large amount involve then maybe it can have a dispute in a way, it will depend on your friendship if it can only be break just by many money there you can attest it.

There's another ways of socializing to friends or other people but I don't think that will be enough to  fulfill your time enjoying each other's company. Having fun together with friends through gambling is not the only ways to socialize, but there's a lot more to have. Good gambling games could be so fun, but sometime being abused and leads to addiction and funds lost.

I never did gambling with people I just met, so I never got friends from gambling. But gambling with friends often happens, but only with old friends not with new people known.
IF you can call betting with as gambling, We sometimes bet money on who will eventually win in soccer console game, that's how my friends and i gamble.
Gambling with friends while playing console games is the most common thing teenagers do everywhere. Because playing the game console is a fun thing, and include money bets in it to make the atmosphere play more fun.

I think that's cool and I've seen many teenagers and even adults do that it it normally ends up in arguments and fights because they don't readily enter into an agreement before they gamble and some don't even have escrows so all they do is verbal bets and that can result is a fight if one party refuses to pay after a loss.

That is the worst case scenario with betting with your friends. I myself experience this because my friend refuses to pay and said to me that our betting was just a joke. It was a bad experience because you play good and ending up screw but it's good too that the betting game is not ended on a fight.

Sometimes it will happen too on others if they do not set rules for betting. To avoid this they must do a rules or they money that goes to betting are in the hands of other people so the fight or commotion will less likely to happen. If you lose just accept it.
It's not the worst, not even bad. You're just not firm in making deals. Joking is often out if gambling console games with friends, but if you are firm in making a deal, in the end he will also pay.
If you lose, you better pay up because that's how you are going to betray yourself, not just others but LIFE itself. You are a traitor if you don't keep your word, don't be so happy that you are running away with something, that's just disgraceful.
There are people who are like this on which they do ran up or they dont mind on paying up if they lose up on the deals. Some wont really mind up on how disgraceful this thing is.  Playing gambling with friends do gives excitement together with add up on deals on which who win or lose up but we should really take the responsibility on paying up.

in my view during my experience gambling with my friends it will makes you more close with all of your friends because usually i did gamble with my friends only for entertainment and fun purposse and not for the profit so lost or win it doesn't matter for me because as long as we enjoy the game it was enough

Maybe you should set some little rules upon having a deal upon betting with your friends since on all times I make sure that there's third party people who will gonna hold the funds so that I can make sure to get my winnings if I won, I experience that before but for now I think its enough for me since I don't want to get hurt if my expectation to get payed will not come.
