Gambling is actually not wrong if you gamble only for fun and do not spend to much or play to much. As we all know that all too much would always be not good.
of course it is not wrong at all, in my opinion people can do whatever they want with their money so i doubt that it is such a bad thing
Yes i don't know the real reason behind it but human really find it fun to gamble in some occasion. I myself do the same way especially if you play with your friends or relatives. I think that when person gets addicted to it then that would be the real problem.
I remember some funny jokes before that there were 2 buddies and really close friends that are gamblers. One of them realized and contemplated that gambling is bad for him and for his family and decided to quit gambling with all convictions. One afternoon, he told his buddy about it and all he received was a laugh and disbelief. He was upset that his buddy never believe what he says so he challenge his buddy to gamble a $100 dollar - if he really quits, he will win the $100 and if he still continues, his buddy will win the $100.
Wow, that's a very funny fella. How could a gambling made something to benchmark against him to get out of gambling addiction or not. But if your friend is really quit gambling and search for more positive things and not give effect which is quite bad for life ..?
