basically, gambling is paid entertainment but some of are addicted to it, so they are taking it as a profit-making engine.
but from my perspective, it is really a funny game. nothing else.
Not some people but most of the people didn't understand what you said that gambling is a paid entertainment. They things that still they got some method to win or make an easy money from gambling and they will go back to gambling even though they lose a lot of money in this gambling. That's why we can see so many casinos around us.
