What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘gambling’?

[CryptoBjorn]

some thing comes to my mind when i her about gambling,some word exactly.
gambling..its addiction
gambling..its win or lose
gambling..not a good money
yes i do not play gambling,but interesting to watch or read about gambling.

But have you played some gambling in your life then? Well gambling can't be addictive if you play for fun or with your friends.

At this moment I am reading a poker book I want to learn to play it at how I can win and yes i kinda interesting or watch some poker championship.

When I hear the word gambling, what comes into my mind is a criminal. I really don't know why I associate gambling with the crime. But i think it is because ever since I was young, the people I saw gambling were those people who are known to commit crimes hear and there. This is the first reason that has kept me away from even making a try in gambling. I also feel that gambling encourages laziness, you do not work for the money compared to other people. You just risk and win 'free' money.

1. Nowadays you can be, and probably are addicted from many things like: your smartphone, internet, Facebook or other internet activities. Gambling is not sole 'bad boy' among these.
2. If you are gambling with all your money and you use system all of nothing then it is not gambling that is wrong, it is you.
3. Every addiction is not good, but you can play moderately and then it is fine, just keep your limit.

Gambling is combination of devil temptation called greed and drug's addiction.
Surely when you're try to gamble , you already know the risk

If you gamble with huge amount, you will feel something different about gambling

The only thing I get in my mind is loss of money. Gambling is made to take away your money. Their odds clearly says

Nicely told. But they still play. If lost then they start blaming their luck. Shit !

As for me, the word "gambling" is associated with bets and addiction, with persons who take a risky action in the hope of a desired result, always involving money.

[error08]

each heard the word gambling, that is my mind is always thought of how to quickly earn money the easy way

[cjmoles]

When I hear the word "gambling," I think, "I'm ready!"  I am more of a game of skill player so I use my mathematical abilities to gain an advantage over the player which is a pure "gambler" who likes to play against the odds.  So, I am game when I hear that someone wants to gamble!

[onlinedragon]

House always win

[gerald-80]

I see strategies, money and horses 

[azguard]

House always win

definitely true
house always wins no mater if you won greatly somebody else lose greatly  and that how circle goes

[LuckyYOU]

Getting a chance to win some good money. That's what I get when I'm thinking about gambling.

Second is strategy and placing bets at the right moment.

[CryptoBjorn]

Game - Money - Poker - Dice - Blackjack - Win - Lose and more.

But for me gambling that really comes to my mind is Las Vegas I don't know why.

[ultimatesky]

First to my mind is the amount of money I'm willing to lose to a gamble.

That's the first thing I start out with when I'm going to gamble

[phibay]

there is only one word that comes to my mind when i read or hear the world gambling, its "lost" some will say its "fun", "easy profit" but most of the times its a lost to me

[Altynbekova]

there is only one word that comes to my mind when i read or hear the world gambling, its "lost" some will say its "fun", "easy profit" but most of the times its a lost to me

For me also :/ losing money make me really sad. That is why i just don't gamble that much or just gamble but not betting that much amount of money.
By the way I don't think people well say easy profit .

"Lost" "Won" "Easy Money" "Easy to get poor" all of that words equals to gambling.
but for now when i hear the word of "gambling" which crossed my mind is a "mortgage".
why mortgage? for example, this month you won $500 , next month noone will guarantee you will do the same , won another $500 in a month? no i think, it could be you won over $500 or lost over $500 , surely 6 of 10 gambler would lost over $500.
so you have mortgaged your money in first month to get lost in the next month or you have mortgaged your money in first month to get profit in the next month.

Easy profit? Not as easy as placing a bet and losing the bet.

First thing that comes to my mind is a chance to win some money and also a chance and risk I take to lose it.

[Pollak]

Excitement, that's the first thing that comes to my mind. Excitement and the thrill of a chance to win a placed bet
