People gamble not just for entertainment because of the chance to win big money. It is entertaining because it gives you excitement even if you lose in the end.
I agree with you, gambling get people excited to earn some money at the end of the game, I think people like taking a risk due to gambling.
Actually playing games online also can make people excited, like some people compete on a tournament with a big prize.
But if I will be having a chance to choose from Gambling and Online Games with a great prize, I would rather choose Online games since I know that I will be competing in such game because I have a skill to it. Saying that, I can say that I have a higher chance of winning that certain big prize on Online game than on risking my money on Gambling.
There's one certain mistake you guys are making on this thread cause you seems not to understand that any play games of chance for money which money is involved is also gambling. Although, playing games will make things lifely by bring more funs and excitement to the player.
It depends on the game you are playing online as it is not all the games you play online that necessarily have to involve you having to put in money unless you choose to.
The excitement sometimes that you are competing with an unknown person and in some games where reputation is something that can be pretty much one thing enough to keep the thrill going, I would say, for someone who really want to have fun, it is not a bad idea at all.
Now like I said, it all depends on the game you are actually playing, which as long as it involves money and have nothing to do with you using some skills to give you a chance of winning, is pure gambling, and I purposely used the word pure because of what I said.

Here you will earn money in trading and there you will lose it in gambling. You can do something better for making money instead of gambling. You should play games online. There is no problem in it.
