Gambling is not wrong, however if gambling becomes an addiction and hurts you or the people around you, it is wrong.

I think it is completely wrong because after starting slowly most of them will be addicted to this and will loose money in the end. So just avoid it if possible.

i don't agree.
what you say is only true if you have no control over yourself. i mean if you can not control yourself and keep losing after losing and then borrow money to lose more then you are an addict.
but for example if you are just gambling a fixed amount every month just for the fun of it and you are prepared to lose just that fixed amount, then there is nothing wrong with it.
that mindset of "im fine if i lose this much this month" is bad in itself, in your mind you are already setting yourself up to lose that money instead of saving it. gambling is accepted in today's society and is open for responsible people to try their hand in, but i think that there is little to say that favors gambling other than "its fun." but even then, its only for a few moments.
