Well for me gambling is basically half risk and half skill. Yes, because I only gamble in one game and that is poker. I believe that in poker you are not just playing with your cards, but you are also playing with other factors like your skill at checking other peoples emotions, facial gestures, psychology, and others. I don't believe that you are gambling in poker, you are outdoing your fellow skilled players in poker. And that is how I view gambling.
Gambling good way how to increase your bitcoin fund and have valuable when your choose lucky, but gambling only with football is better because we know which one most accurate to know become the winner, after corona virus have been stop several europe country have running their football league like bundesliga and south korea league,
From my own experience gambling is entertainment but when luck is on my side I see it as my chance to win some money. I also know that gambling is very addictive and that I must control myself and not enter the vicious circle.
Controlling yourself may sound easy until you there and see those tempting bet by the participants and the money they won. that is one thing you cannot get away in gambling so easily. the temptation of playing to win big will always get to you every time you play. Which is a bad thing if you cannot stop yourself soon. most people ended up looking for money in a desperate way just to play one more game hoping to win but they won't win at all.
Gambling is not a good game for those who value money very much, because no gambler can value their money even though we know that we risk losing money. But pleasure and entertainment cant be measured, this is desire.
So, do you mean gambling is only a place of wasting money?Actually no idea about it but well, gambling isn't a proper place for people who want to have a professional career and not an investment place. I agree that it is an entertainment place that people can have fun and try luck in getting a surprising big amount of money. That's why you must realize how much you can afford in funds. Don't expect too much in getting profits, and don't play greedy because it is not like an investment. Gambling is a fun place where you can bet on your luck!
I would like to answer the option of "entertainment", but it will not be completely true. I am interested in considering games from the point of view of mathematics and looking for interesting strategies and their "profitability", but this is not getting pleasure from the excitement or something like that. Gambling for me is just mathematical “puzzles” and I never put my financial situation depending on how these puzzles turned out.
Gambling for me is a game of elite people who can destroy the economy, happiness, and life even though there are a handful of people who are truly fortunate to get wealth from gambling. Lol

Destroy economy? maybe the opposite but for happiness and life then i highly believe that this is one of main things that would really be affected if you do let yourself fall to the pit of gambling addiction.Gambling is not a good game for those who value money very much, because no gambler can value their money even though we know that we risk losing money. But pleasure and entertainment cant be measured, this is desire.
Business owners do know that they can profit out on peoples emotion and nature of being greedy thats why gambling industry is so big and profitable for them due to that reason. Entertainment side do really just depend on a certain person.
Treating it as a source of income or get rich system will surely put your life into the miserable side.It shouldnt really be treated up that way but people
do go to the opposite direction.

From Dictionary:
* it is the activity or practice of playing at a game of chance for money or other stakes.
* the act or practice of risking the loss of something important by taking a chance or acting recklessly.
From Gambling Comission
* In the Gambling Act 2005 gambling is defined as betting, gaming or participating in a lottery. That definition distinguishes between activities which need to be licensed and other activities which do not.

6. Gaming machines (fruit machines, fixed odds betting terminals, etc)
From personal experience of mine
* Gambling for me is something you have the chance of winning the prize or any value, if there is no chance then you're not gambling. Gambling requires that there is a chance you might win something for your bet.
* Gambling also considered as a way source of income, there are many gamblers who tend to play because of earning money but the sad part of it is when you tend to play for money but going out having a lack of money.

* Some also considered gambling as a threat, once you become addicted to gambling there are many things that could change, you may lose control, you may forget some of the responsibilities of yours, as a parent, as a child, as wife or husband, etc.
The worst thing is that you may lose all of your property and can cause depression on you.

For me gambling is more of a profit/income and also entertainment. It seems like whatever game that is involving money just like betting or anything we could already call that gambling. Nothing is wrong about it you just need to put it to discipline.
I do gambling because it is fun and at the same time I could also earn a good amount of profit in playing it, even when I was a child I do small bet with my friends so we could say that this is my childhood game
. 
Gambling for me is changing with my age and techology.
As a child, it were games played with my pocket money on local fairs. Didn't realized I was gambling at the moment.
On High school, played poker with friends, even visited some underground poker clubs.
As an adult, I have visited to casinos but rarely played there.
Did some sports betting with bet365 using Skrill dollars.
But the best form of online gambling were introduced to me after I found crypto. Dice and Crash, they are my favorite now.

Elderly people in my society, do have this mindset that those that gambles are nuisance and a threat to the society they live in. That's Africa mentality and religious attitude by the way.
I haven't seen anything that is time consuming than gambling or games. Gambling gives irresistible joy when you're at the winning side,

Gambling. For me it is one way of having fun especially if I am bored or if I want to have bonding time with my cousins and friends. Some make this as their source of income especially if they are lucku while others are the same as mine. During this time, quarantine I find it as a source of income by not playing it, by promoting it instead.
Well, I think that is entertainment, and yes gambling also falls under the category of amusement/entertainment industry. Though I never think of gambling activities as having fun since it is no fun if we see people's lives getting destroyed due to their gambling addiction.
For me, gambling is a mind game. It is about who will control the situation regardless of what the outcome is. It is like testing our discipline or self-control in an enticing situation where we always face a life-changing event depends on the result of our gambling session and decisions.
Are you a gambler? Do you really know what gambling is?
For me gambling has a meaning and very broad meaning.Of course, a variety of reasons and meanings that can be taken from gambling.
-Gambling is the most delicious dish to stimulate the taste of life which has the meaning of sweet persuasion with pleasure to get pleasure and money.
-Gambling is quite challenging for me to win and have more money, I always enjoy every game in the world of gambling.
-gambling is not only limited to the prospect of winning, gambling is also an element that many of I have encountered motivation.
Gambling one thing that has an unforgettable experience for me both when losing and winning.
that's what gambling means to me.
1. I wanna ask you guys are there any other definitions for you about what gambling is?
2. What are/is the accurate definition of gambling on you based on the definition above?
Anyway, since you already cited the definition of gambling. That is an endlessly entertainment for us gamblers, I consider it also a sin. A sin in my profession. Because in my profession, gambling or any activities that relate in gambling will revoke our license. Since it was indicated in our Code of Ethics.
Anyway, I am not yet a public servant and I am not really a gambler in physical casino. So, I am still excuse in that rule though maybe, I will teach someday and I think I should stop gambling when time comes.
So, I have a definition of gambling by my own, Gambling is a magical stone that can bring you good luck and sometimes it can be a cause of destruction for you, it depends on how do you use it.
I think gambling isn't an object. It really depends on how do we perceived the definition of gambling. legendary

I don't know everyone’s story; I just want to tell you my thinking about gambling. There was a time when I was too much addicted-on gambling. As usual I lost a lot of money by gambling, at the same time I was able to make a lot of money too. I used to go casino every day and I stayed there all day later, I became too much addicted to alcohol. But after marriage, my life changed a lot, she helped me to think about my life, I calculated how much I earned and how much I lost in gambling, on the other hand I addicted to alcohol and some drug. I wondered what I got in life by gambling so much! After realization that, I tried to changed myself for my family. I just love gambling, so I couldn’t give up gambling. I tried to keep myself busy with other things fortunately I got a handsome job. Yet I often go to the casino with my friends, I do gamble only for the entertaining purpose. I don't want to earn much money from it, because it is not my profession, it is my hobby. I just want to tell you that don't be addicted on gambling.
So, I have a definition of gambling by my own, Gambling is a magical stone that can bring you good luck and sometimes it can be a cause of destruction for you, it depends on how do you use it.

This is the correct opinion. I also believe that gambling is primarily a pleasant time spent. If you try to build your earnings by gambling - this is the way to a dead end.
Therefore, all those who try to make money on gambling very much risk their money.

Promoting gambling is a separate thing but playing gambling is something different. Many people play gambling for fun like me or you can call it a time pass. Gambling provides the entertainment and money while fun at the same time and i don't think any other games provides this much benefits.
Some people use gambling as a source of income, and that makes other people follow their way. But other people don't realize that it is very difficult to use gambling as a source income because winning gambling itself needs to have luck. Gambling will be entertainment for us if we can know that it is just an activity for spending our free time. We don't need to try hard to win the games if we feel that it is difficult, and it is better to use gambling to have fun and to kill our free time. But promoting gambling will be a good way to be a source of income, but you need to spreads your affiliate in many websites to attract many people to join under you.
Different people have different definitions when it comes to gambling. Maybe some defines gambling as a way for them to get some money quick. Some may say that it is a way for them to relieve stress etc etc.
For me, gambling is a way for me to be excited whenever I watch games. It maybe sounded different but I only bet on sports games and not on card base games or other games that are common in the casinos like poker, roulette, dice etc. I only gamble so that the excitement will be higher whenever I watch my favorite teams playing. Aside from that, I don't know what gambling is to me. I don't see it as a quick rich scheme or as an entertainment like other people.

We really have different point of views about bitcoin as it is really a game for those who want to get rich, but little did they know that gambling should not be treated as a getting rich scheme. There are people who risks all of their money and suffer in the end, it should not be like that.
Your money should go to a more valuable things than gambling because there's a probability that you can just put it into the trash and be wasted. People always keep their eye on the huge amount of money but they don't think about losses. Sometimes it is much better to play online rather than in physical casinos so that you can limit your budget.
No matter what kind of games you're playing in a certain casino, there is still a probability of losing and nothing is a 100% win win in gambling casino.
For me, it is just really for an entertainment to release my stress and anxiety to work. I never really risks my money to those things that I know that will never bring huge impact in my assets. I rather invest than, spend it in to gambling.

That is interesting. But, you are NOT making use of gambling but the gambling industry. If you are suffering due to lockdown restrictions on these pandemic periods then you may try skill based gambling which must be having more than 60% chances to get you profits if you are equipped with required skills. I suggest you to develop skills before entering into gambling and further more, do it at your own responsibility and not just due to my suggestion 
.I only gamble when I'm bored since gambling right now is one of the best option since we can't go out due to quarantine.
I believe this must be the meaning of gambling for 90% of gamblers as most gambler are booking losses hence the meaning of gambling cannot be making profits even they have not realized that. I mean almost 99% of gamblers do gamble with wrong purposes or for delusional targets which is never possible in their life time. But, gambling to kill boredom must be the realistic one and gamblers who search for it, easily reaching their targets.i must admit that sometimes i am playing to look for Big winning specially when there comes a time that troubles in financial comes
