Big different is there in watching movie and playing gambling, in gambling every time you have expectation of making money from gambling which make it more attracted and having good fun there.
You may have big differences in acquiring entertainment between watching movies and gambling but I do not. Yes, the satisfaction of watching a good movie is similar to what I finish off with online dicing along with spending more time in setting up variable in the automated environment. It must differ gambler to gambler but I refer the satisfaction we are enjoying at the end of the day. No big differences and also, I am not claiming that one will replace another.
I think most of the people are there to play gambling again and again because for every time they have hope a one day they will become succeeded to make a big money from gambling.
This is the hidden truth why you are not ready to accept similarity between gambling and movies. You cannot find any chances of returns for your money spending with watching-movies whereas gambling provide such a chance (even it is becoming possible only for very few gamblers). All these reveal that you people are still expecting only big money from gambling and not ready to accept the real meaning of why gambling is with us.
There are exceptions in everything and I think we must consider you as exception as well. Because what you are saying is totally different from what we have seen practically. People ruined their lives just because they have started as entertainment seekers and fun party guys at casinos. They never ever thought of such big detrimental results from gambling. So dont give this stigma any chance to make your life a hell.
