This question is always on my mind since then until now. I want to know the opinion of everyone here on this platform. I know that we have all different perception about gambling, so I respect what will be your point of view about that.
Globally, gambling is seen as a threat more than a fun activity you can engage in most especially as it has to do with placing a bet with money and since the chances of you wining/losing is 50/50 it becomes unpredictable with the later always been the outcome. The statistics of losing is far more than that of the wins since the industry operate on using their customers money to pay each other.
It's a global threat since most of the casino houses are affiliated with drug lords or criminals but in the perspective of a rich person who wants to be entertained in gambling, it's a fun activity. Casino houses will probably do their best not to lose any income and will put the odds on their own hands.
Customers will still go there due to its good benefits for middle-class people. Still, gambling can be also a fun activity but for some people only, so it really depends on the scenario.
