From every day experience and things happening around us, I have made threads and I've read other people's threads concerning gambling, where people that replied to the post often referred to gambling as a game of entertainment, despite the high risk involved people still termed it as fun.
From the Oxford English dictionary, gambling can be defined as "the activity of playing games of chance for money" and entertainment is defined as "the action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment". In essence, entertainment always ends with laughter and enjoyment, then gambling that at times when we lose ends with regret, sorrow, lost of money and assets, cardiac arrest, bitterness and pains, anxiety, depression, trauma, at times even death, etc. Should we then say gambling is entertainment?
Which ever way you want to describe it, people take it as a fun and a leisure time game for fun.while at it. Maybe i should say it is an individual thing because in in general what some people take as having fun others may see it in a different light entirely. You might engage in gambling activities just when you are in need of funds or when you want to try your luck on pick money. But I can on the other hand i can go out with friends and decide to add gambling as one of the fun activities to do in the outing just for the fun of it. So will you gall that gambling for fun or gambling for funds?
