Re: Why not play games online instead of gambling?

There are many reasons why people prefer gambling from gaming. For me it's mostly the time required for each of these. If I gamble I spend an hour doing it and can move to something else. Online gaming requires a lot more time as RPG games are divided into quests and many of them can't be stopped until you reach a safe point. There are boss fights for which you assemble a team and need to reach the destination and win the battle (I played some wow in my time Roll Eyes

) I wish I had as much free time as 10 years ago.

You can gamble even just for few minutes and you are not obliged to finish what you started. The same goes for RPG or any online game but the longer you stay there, you'll become stronger. While in gambling, its opposite the longer you stay the higher risk you have.

This also can be a time related issue why some preferred to gamble instead of gaming.

I just know one reason for gambling instead of gaming online and that is greed for more money. Everyone in this world needs money because the sources of income are less and demands are high. People want to use any short cup way to make money, thats why they gamble. But they are wrong because nobody can make money in gambling rather lose his own.

Well i think its because they cannot find the happiness they are looking in online gambling. In online gambling we cannot find new set of friends, we can just log on if we are stress on work but doing it alone is not a stress reliever. It will just double the stress you are facing.
Also the gambling can bring you happiness when you won, some colleagues will celebrate it with you, and it will give you money.
