It was a fun reading OP. I think at some part of our life, we all gamble, like you said in a different manner. Last year when I got selected in 3 different companies, it was a gamble or a sort which company I shall join. When I was a kid, I gambled which friends to make and as an adult, we gamble which life partner we pick. It's a gamble in all parts of our life, sometimes calculated sometimes blatant gamble but we all gamble.

There is nothing wrong with gambling either, that is why apart from a few countries it's legal in most countries. Addiction to gambling is bad, no doubt about that. If you have earned money you have the right to spend it in whatever manner you want, be it drinking or gambling or anything else as long as it's not illegal.

Yes, we all gamble in real life, living is a gamble because we never know what the future awaits us.

Gambling is just a game, if we consider it as entertainment, then it should not be different from going to a movie house paying money to be entertain.
it's just that gambling is more entertaining for gamblers as they are a thrill, and of course, with the chance of winning, that makes it more thrilling.

I'm a gambler and I'm proud to say I don't have any gambling problems now.

While reading I'm thinking that all OP stated was right and we keep doing this without knowing ourselves that every activity we had just like we investing it and like a gambling and every decision we've made considering as a we gamble.

But did you know that this is not the right comparison, it is totally different than we gamble to make a profit or to have fun. In real life, that is exposure that we must to acquire in order for us to get mature, in every decision we take, there could be a risk and also circumstances ahead that we don't know what will happen next. There's a limit in gambling but in our real life, choose the right decision for a better future.

What humans deemed as gambling is when you are risking money or properties for something very risky in order to have more money or properties while in the process you can lose your money or property that your staked for it.

Gambling is not about gaining money, well, literally, it is. But if you regard it in daily life, well, I say its all about gambling. Risking to work everyday to earn, risking to travel to get more views of the earth, learn cultures, food, etc.
While drinking (always) is risking your health just to enjoy the night. Well, there are lots of it, that's someone says even life is gambling, it's all about risking.

This is a bad comparison if I can have vice I prefer smoking or drinking liquor because the symptoms can manifest physically and I can ask for help by then and have a chance to heal, while in gambling, even if you are losing heavily and gamble all your money and started to do bad things to sustain your gambling you will still deny that you are a compulsive gambler because the manifestation is in the minds and the minds can always deny.

This is indeed, a bad comparison.

Just because there is luck involve in our daily lives does not mean that it is similar to gambling into casinos. While it is true that there are certain vices that involve a wager of some sort, it is still far away from gambling into physical casinos.

Gambling addiction is just another addiction that can both affect your mental and physical health. Just like any other addiction, once you arrive at that point where you find it difficult to function normally because it hampers your daily activity, I guess that is an indicator that you need to seek help not just from your parents but from you as well.

That's so stupid, people judge gamblers as bad person and yet they are also doing bad that could affect their future.

You know what, no one can judge us except God.

Gambling, in general, is not really bad, irresponsible gambling makes a person bad but it should not be blamed for gambling, but for gamblers.
They'll never understand because they are not gambling, we are enjoying gambling and as long as we know our limit, we should be okay.

Heavy criticism always go the way of the man that everyone knows gambles with his money on sports betting, poker and the likes. But I am of the school of thought that we are all gamblers because we all gamble with something in this life.

CASE STUDY
Mr Smith and Mr Scott while smoking some cigarettes, talk about a certain Mr Z who they say cannot control his addiction to gamble with his money, forgetting that they are gamblers too, gambling with their life. (lungs)

The Alcoholic saying thank God I don't smoke, I don't gamble, I don't womanise, I only drink my alcohol should not think he is any better because he is also gambling with his life (kidneys).

The man and woman who know they don't love each other, but still are having unprotected sex are gamblers too, gambling with their future.

Even the man that says he has no vices (i.e doesn't smoke, drink, womanize or gamble with money) but only has time for his video games, movies and sports games is a gambler as well, gambling with his time.

It is very true that people can have "blindspots" and can blissfully go through life without recognizing their own weaknesses. In general we as a species and the human brain are incredibly poor at correctly calculating the appropriate odds in many situations, which is made worse by arrogance and overconfidence in our own abilities. That may be why a professional poker player will always have a decent edge over enough hands, a "small" step like being able to calculate hand odds consistently and having the ability to correctly price bets in this game can wash any other players out, if they don't take the time to learn it. We must all strive to keep learning and improve ourselves each day, which can require difficult self adjustments when presented with new information.

^ That is how human lives because we are human even though we know what is the circumstances that may occur ahead as long as we are well entertained, that is okay on our sides. We gamble everything in the future and that depends on the choice of which path we are. We are gamblers right and we are the same facing death in the future, as long as you are alive, do something that your life was fully enjoyed. Nevertheless, in all our activities we should know how to put a limit and avoid focus on one activity. Believe me or not, we are all addicted here to share ideas on this gambling community, right?

There are just people whom do love to gamble or making out decisions in life just for it to make it better and that's we do mainly aim and all that we wanted.No one would wish up a miserable life this is why we do need to gamble on making out decisions for the better future.It doesn't care neither you get entertained or would make out some sacrifices as long the path you would take is for the better good and we know that each of us does have their different challenges and situations in life
this is why taking up some decisions will vary depending on the situation that we would really need to make out immediate action or just simply ignored.

What @OP said that we are a gambler is right. We gamble with our lives but we do not realize it. Or if even we realize we do not think that is a gamble. Maybe we do not lose our money, but of course, we lose something from ourselves. Gambling is more than we can think because gamble will not just use the money or time, but it could be our lives and always related to us. But if we can handle care, we will not get the worst impact because we can think before doing something.

I tend to disagree.

Gambling is considered a negative in society because it brings nothing positive at all. One who gambles usually does more harm than good for society and is not looked upon as an idol by anyone. In contrast, one who smokes might do it for stress but could be a successful businessman. Gambling is done with an intention to earn money while smoking, drinking, etc are done for physical pleasure. I am not advocating for either though, I don't see a problem with people who gamble for a few hours solely for entertainment but once they start gambling with the intention to earn, even the richest will become homeless.

Real-life scenarios where we all gamble are forced. If you have a fever and you went for a specific doctor that isn't gambling but choice and is forced but gambling was never forced on us. There's a huge difference between forced decisions and gambling.

Any aspect in life surely is a gamble thinking of a plan, opening a business, finding a job, and making a decision are all example of having a trade of gamble that is why there are many ways to settle things by gambling it with your friends I certainly believe that life aswell is a gamble your decision in life matter on what future you may end up to,

In my opinion, anything can be gambling if we really think about it, for example, two people get bored and think about something just to kill time and they are looking at the road there are many vehicles passing by and they got an idea to pass time by gambling on the color of the vehicle that will pass their way and if who guess it correctly will be the winner, I think that gambling is really what your mind can surely imagine.

morale of the story is we should not criticize other people because we also have our own habits and a habit can become bad if it was not done right or if your becoming addicted to it .
life is a gamble even if we dont smoke , drink , abuse our self in other habits , we are all going to have one destination and that is death but we still need to care for our selves to delay it if possible .

We do have different paths to take which means we do have different decisions to make depending on what are the intentions we do have in life.
Life is indeed a gamble and this is why we should really make decisions careful and wont really be wasting up time into something which it isnt really worth at all. Its true that criticizing other people isnt really right because we do have our own habits to mind on rather than on checking out on someone.
It is just depending on the definition on how gambling could really be applied on particular things in life even with the simplest one.

That's true! each of us have different interpretations in life, we do have challenges and we keep gambling with our fate,

it's your decision-making that will lead you to succeed, about people who understand well and have a good sets of plan
manifest a better outcome in life.

It's all about your own decision that will drives you to attained success, your life's directions depends from how you take the risk.

That's taking the word 'gambling' into a metaphorical context, but I agree with you. Sometime along the way, we tend to gamble not just with our money but also with our future, our relationships, our lives. It may sound cheesy and ultra cringe but it is the reality. We may not consciously know it but we oftentimes risk something in order to get anything in return, and that, to me, is the simplest essence of gambling. It may be something small as a few pennies or something as important as time, but we've all been there risking things trying to gain what we think is "more" in return.

live straight and do not behave strangely, generally avoid gambling. But did you know that human life is always close to gambling.
Gambling is a game where players bet to choose one option among several choices where only one choice is correct and becomes the winner, and unconsciously in life things as we often do.
and that is not to say that gambling about life is equated with gambling which is addictive which is self-defeating and prohibited.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.

If all knows the way it is but I think most aren't having that kind of feeling among themselves, they aren't aware just because what they see among gamblers are those who deals with cards, slot machines and those who may always found at any gambling settings. How I wish most could interpret it that way but the fact is, almost doesn't recognized they are gambling in life.

We are all gamblers, we just have differences on where and what we do about it.

Quite true! We all are gambling with something or other. Even whoever is trading in stock market or crypto markets, are gambling too. But there is bifurcation between acceptable gambling and unacceptable gambling. That's where we see an thin line between these two practices.

If I have to look from your perspective, study can also be considered as gambling. Because you don't know what your future holds for you. So should you stop studying? Absolutely not!

Somehow this statement is completely correct. For most people, gambling implies and refers to gambling in a casino or at football matches, but there are also many decisions in your life that you make which are all a gamble. Lie down for a few extra minutes in the morning and then hope you get to work on time. That is also a way of gambling, but it will not cost you as much as in a casino. Gambling can be done without taking it into consideration.
