Are you a gambler? Do you really know what gambling is?
From personal experience of mine
* Gambling for me is something you have the chance of winning the prize or any value, if there is no chance then you're not gambling. Gambling requires that there is a chance you might win something for your bet.
* Gambling also considered as a way source of income, there are many gamblers who tend to play because of earning money but the sad part of it is when you tend to play for money but going out having a lack of money.
* Gambling also considered a way of entertainment, there are many people who play gamble just only for entertainment or to kill boredom, it is more fun when you play with your friends.
* Some also considered gambling as a threat, once you become addicted to gambling there are many things that could change, you may lose control, you may forget some of the responsibilities of yours, as a parent, as a child, as wife or husband, etc.
The worst thing is that you may lose all of your property and can cause depression on you.
1. I wanna ask you guys are there any other definitions for you about what gambling is?
2. What are/is the accurate definition of gambling on you based on the definition above?
I think for me I see gambling as an entertainment with a high chance of earning with great risk. We can chose to bet more and win more/lose more. It is some sort of entertainment for me but with the knowledge and desire of winning the game too. We can't deny that the entertainment we got from it comes with the great desire to also win it. I think the difference between me and a compulsive one is I know my limit, I never go beyond, I control my funds and as long as I achieve the limit, I can still afford to stop.
I think we all have different perspective on how we see gambling. I think the meaning of gambling also changes when a certain gambler already focus on winning and getting back what he had just lost. It is also possible that it means profit for some, however, achieving profit in gambling comes with higher risk. That's why hopefully I don't want to see gambling as a profit for myself.
