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?
The reason many gamble and later regret it , is when they gamble with money they can’t afford to lose . When it come to gambling many can be greedy that they usually forget or should I say neglect the fact that they can also lose money too in the chase of wins in gambling .
Gambling can be entertaining but it boils down to the gambler , if you are the type that kept lying to yourself that you are gambling for fun but deep down you are doing it in order to make more money , when you know that the casino are not doing charity they are also trying to make money too .
