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 .

You have a point there but when you include gambling in casino then it is a different story or type of gambling. Gambling in casino is a gambling type that you put your money at risk and it can be lose in an hour or less if you are a big time gambler. When it comes to smoking then it will take longer compared to gambling your money. You can call it gambling when the requirements is met. Gambling is all about risking something that may double or triple or the same as it is.
You're right, I agree with you, I don't think an alcoholic, a smoker, a womanizer, a gamer or any other addict person is a gambler, because they don't give in to their vices in order to win something, they are just doing that because they need to do that. A smoker would be a gambler if he was expecting to win a better life by smoking cigarettes but that's not the case, he doesn't expect any winning at the end. 
Comparing gambling literally as games and to those gambling in regards in decisions in life make does have similarities and of course totally different.
Real life gambling decisions does correspond into something that we do need to decide on for some possible gains or possible outcomes that we are expecting on. Also this isnt something that do connects out for possible addiction compared when we do gamble on games literally.
It is just really depending on how someone would make out decisions just for the good because we do make out decisions in life as if these choices
would having different situations thats why we need to choose wisely.

Having control and self-awareness in gambling is necessary not all the time this gives a good impact on us which is not appropriate sometimes it pushes our eagerness and urge to play more gambling. Sometimes if you lose you want to try to pull back your mistakes if you win you want more and become greedy.
Still the end of the day it's your choice what you will do to your self want to gamble go ahead and make enjoy yourself but again not all gambling are good for you.

not everyone sees it that way. if one would just want to enjoy life he shouldn't be thinking like he has to gamble his kidney every time he drinks with friends. dont you think you are already losing even just reading this reply? you gambled seconds of your life. 😁
it always just involve money when it comes to gambling. dont stretch it too much.

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.

Yes, we all gamble, even if we don't plan.
The main character of the film "This very Munchausen" said, - Socrates advised me, - "Get married, Mr. Baron! If you meet a good wife, you will be happy. If you meet a bad wife, you become a philosopher." We underestimate the role of chance in our life.
Nassim Taleb wrote about this in his book.
My personal psychologist often tells me - "Smartprofit, you need to play more. An easy way to change yourself for the better. Play forms good habits."
In a broad sense, everything that happens to us is a game of chance. The bet is sometimes money, sometimes happiness, sometimes life.
Life is a gamble, it's a game of odds. However, it's not quite the same as gambling in the sense of casinos and sports books, since the odds are always against you here due to the house edge.
I do agree with you that there is often some sort of stigma associated with being a gambler — especially when one is unsuccessful in this endeavor. But realistically, there are both successful and unsuccessful gambles in real life. Some people risk it all to start up their own business, only to go under within a year and spend the rest of their life paying back their debts.
Others, however, see their gambles pay off, and attain fame and fortune — just because they won, doesn't mean there wasn't any risk involved. There is always a distribution of winners and losers in all events.
That said, I feel like there is a difference between gambling to better your life, and then addictive gambling... i.e. gambling where there is no purpose other than to satiate an addiction. You don't see many similar parallels to the latter in everyday life... Few people habitually do things in life that have adverse consequences, especially when the result is so instant and direct as it is in gambling.

Why generalize everything.What you say even us poor people who go to work 9-5 are gambling with our time because we don't know,maybe we would be using it better if we had enough free time to find an alternative way to make money.Everyone is free to do what he likes as long as he doesn't affect my or your freedom.In the end life itself is a gamble as we go out everyday to work and we have the risk that some car hits us to death(God forbid).
Anything with a criminal, there must be a bad impact like gambling and other types that can damage the organs of the body to bet on one day.
Even I also can't deny everyone I know what I do everyday is also like gambling that puts our organs at risk, to be honest I'm a smoker lover but we know that cigarettes can cause a lot of damage to our internal organs but we never realize that it's the same as long as long-term gambling, so anything if it is addicted will be difficult to do unless there is a strong change of our own intentions.
But we can't say what we do on a daily basis, we call it gambling, because for me gambling just wants bigger rewards after betting.

Taking simple decisions in life would really be in exchange into something neither it could be beneficial or would really be putting us on harm.
Daily living does really have those kind of decisions to make for our own good even though gambling isnt always on the sense on playing games but taking
simple decisions would always connect it out too.
We are indeed all gamblers because we cant really gain something if we dont make out good decisions in life.It is just we've been talking about difference
on how the risk is being applied on a particular scenario.

Yes, we are all gamblers. We are all gambling with something all the days of our lives. But I guess we just have to consider the broader meaning of gambling from the stricter meaning. Strictly speaking, gambling is like waging money or making a monetary bet on some kind of game, whether sports, skill-based games like poker, casino games based on a random number generator, and others. We shouldn't confuse this kind of gambling to the kind of gambling everybody cannot avoid.
That's a clear example of hypocrisy ..
Looking to others mistakes while they cannot even look in the mirror to see whats theirs.
If you want to criticize others , make sure that you are also nothing to be criticized because if then , you are also nothing to hide for.
Gambling is a game , and all of us risk in our daily lives, we gamble in our own ways.
Criticizing someone is of course allowed as long as it can make him a better person, but now criticism seems to be made as a personal attack against that person, by expressing their disgrace, as long as gamblers do not harm others of course it's legal because that's what it is their personal rights, but when gamblers have started disturbing others (stealing, robbing or drunkenness on the street) of course we as people close to him we must remind and criticize all such harmful behavior. Looking to others mistakes while they cannot even look in the mirror to see whats theirs.

You are right we are all gamblers but gambling in a casino is very much different from all the kind of gambling you've mentioned because if you have no control over gambling in casinos you can wipe out all your cash in one night, while those gambling with their lungs will take 5 to years before the symptoms into much smoking manifest, if you are gambling in a casino you can have your result in hours, while smokers can wait five years or more to lose his game and he can stop anytime beyond that.
Practically speaking it's true that there's a wide difference between those example and casino gambling,
You'll lose everything in just split of an eye inside gambling games if you don't have any control with your emotion, you can yolo and lose everything
while with those mentioned situation, you can recover before it's too late, you have much longer time before things got worsen out, while with gambling games, a single mistake changed to your life within that particular day that you played.
True in some aspects of our life we do a little bit gambling.
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.

Check some of my previous comments... Gambling is gambling, the difference is in games!
I am saying for years that everything is gambling! And to gamble, you need to have "something" to offer! Different games have different rules, different people play the game differently... but all in all, sometimes we gamble to make a profit, sometimes we gamble for pure fun and entertainment! And why not?! It's our money, we choose how we will spend it!
There's an old saying, you can't take anything with you when you die! So it's important to have some fun in life and be honest with yourself! Enjoy the game as you think it's the best! And don't let anyone ruin your balance!

Wont be surprising on having that kind of behavior on where people do really love to look others imperfection without trying to look at theirselves first before judging someone.Gambling doesnt really only limit out on casinos or games and its true that everyday living does corresponding or does have situation where we do need to risk up something before we do able to gain something or simply we do make our own choices for the good or which we do look that would be best for us.Looking to others mistakes while they cannot even look in the mirror to see whats theirs.
