If you're hoping for a big profit with gambling, you are wrong.
I know there are some people who got a big advantage with gambling, but the possibility is quite small.
better gamble just for fun, do not you spend all your savings, or borrow money to gamble.

It can be wrong or not wrong. It's always a matter of opinion. There's no ethical rule saying humans should not gamble. What you do with your money is your own choice. You can give it to a beggar or a charity, wipe your butt with it or gamble.

That is true one can do anything they want with their money. But all those things there should be some limit because most of the people who are addicted these gambling they will have a families but they don't bother about them and those families need to suffer because these gambling habits. So for those kind of people there should be some rules to gamble otherwise complete family will be in trouble.

So how are you going to explain that people that using gambling for living cost? I ever saw some people did that but they still having their family well and take care I dont think that is something to be suffer about

Gambling would eventually lead to a loss, either completely or majority of the bettor's bankroll.

That is right. We have to use strong will to prevent us from gambling all the time. We cannot be addicted to gambling.

I personally knew a few people, whose lives got destroyed due to their addiction to gambling. IMO, the addiction towards gambling is even worse than that with drugs or alcohol

Drugs actually far worse then gambling. It is still better to stop addiction to gambling rather than drugs. Those who cant control addiction ruin their own life

For the most part I agree.  However I will say gambling addicts can go down a very bad path just as quickly as Drug addicts.  In short, all addictions are bad and need to be dealt with.

Only if you dont exceed your limits.

You can gamble and win or lose, but dont do it too much, even if you win a lot, because luck can change anytime.

That should be correct. If one know what is doing and how much his/her limit to lose on a given day then their shouldn't any issue in gambling because it is some kind of entertainment for some people but if this entertainment become a full time job then it will be wrong for every one. So just gamble to pass the time some times should be fine.

The actual problem with the gambling is no one will stick with their predetermined plans. Even the limit of losing for a day if crossed, many people continue that gambling of of greed or to cover the loss.

nothing is wrong in this world, it is upto you how you approach and perform, gambling in casinos and dice games are clearly known that no one can win with the house. out of 100% only 10% wins because they just play for some time and after winning they leave this site or game and go for another site or game. but for long term they lose everything even their savings.

How is this? Nothing is wrong? And the killers of innocent people? How about the politicians which exploiting their positions and the trust given from the simple people to become rich stealing money everywhere and where they can? How about the thieves which take everything earned with the sweat and effort, sometimes even killing the people who steal.

As about the gambling your position is the position of someone indifferent related to the problems that cause bad thing. It is not so simple like you write. Gambling is not a simple game but an evil one. Attract with the fun and the hope to win when everything is calculated to create addiction from it and loss of money. The hope to win make everyone greedy and every win will go again in the pockets of the owners of the gamble owner. As has told someone here in bitcointalk in his post. The casino know that every winner will come back again in casino to win again. And that's the end for him. He will lose all the money won and even all the other ones have in him's pockets.

No no no.  You cannot compare gambling to killing people.  That is just silly.  Gambling is a thing you can do, no one is forcing you to do it.  Just because a few people in the world have a problem with it, doesn't make it a bad thing.  I enjoy gambling for the fun.

In general, the world needs to stop conforming to a few bad apples.  Oh they drank too much?  ban alcohol?  They gamble too much?  Ban gambling.  No, fix the problem with the people doing it, don't ruin it for everyone else.

Gambling and kill people are totally different. You cannot link the two. Kill people is affecting other people's lives. Gambling if doing responsibly, has nothing to do with other people.

For leex1528 and Eastwind:

No one linked the gambling with the killing of the kill of someone. Even there are to many the cases when various people kill himself for the loss having in gambling. At least in my country there are such cases. My post, in its first part, was aimed to answer to the part in bold of the post quoted by me which told:nothing is wrong in this world. If you cannot understand this I cannot do nothing. You must learn to understand what the others tell. After giving the answer to this part in bold (which talk not about the gambling but about EVERYTHING bad in the world giving some bad and wrong cases in this world in order to show to the author of the post that the wrong exist in this world and its sentence was wrong) I give my answer and my point of view about gambling. In the next paragraph. And only the fact that I begin a new paragraph mean itself that is another thing that it will be treated.

As for gambling no one has told that must be prohibited. Where is written this in my post? In my post is written only that gambling is evil (and I tell again this) and must be fighted. But not prohibited it. Prohibition make the people to have more desire for the prohibited thing. So we will have the opposite of that we wanted. The fight must be done explaining the bad that gambling bring for everyone who gamble in long term and even this is made for fun. I tell that gambling bring addiction. This addiction bring lost of control for everyone who gamble and as a consequence loss of all its money. Continuously. Every day. Without end. Until the moment a doctor is called and the addicted person is treated by him. That's my post. Nothing else. All your interpretation are only your interpretations.

It will be good for you that before write something or comment something try to understand well what the others write and not to write the first thing that "tinkle" in your mind. Only to make a new post and to have in this way some other money from your signature campaign.

The perspective of each and every person differs along with their attitude. In most cases, people will see all the things are good until they are get affected with them. Once they see the evil of  something in their own experience our with the life of their friends or family circle then they will start blaming it. It is the truth of of life, meaningful to gambling too.

Drugs actually far worse then gambling. It is still better to stop addiction to gambling rather than drugs. Those who cant control addiction ruin their own life

If addicted, the effect of gambling and drug is the same. Both have to be avoided. If not addicted to gambling, then gambling some times is acceptable.

Gambling can be acceptable only if you play for amount that you can lose without troubles. But if we talk about addictions - each brings life to the bottom and destroys the family. There are no exceptions .. Sorry, maybe cigarettes..

The major mistake is to gamble guided by emotion not by reason.

Gambling is not wrong. Gamblers themselves are the one who are wrong. Gambling has an other side and one example of it is the greedy side. Gamblers are the one who triggering the greedy side of gambling that's why in the end they have regrets because of wrong move or action they have done before the big loss.
