This is why instead of calling gambling a scam we refer to it as a game of luck. It's more soothing to call gambling a pure game of luck rather than just saying it's a scam. No body is scammed. You are either lucky to win or unlucky to lose. Whenever you're lucky to win, you won't call gambling a scam but whenever you are unlucky and lost your game that's when many people refer to gambling as a scam. But in a sense of humor, gambling isn't a game of scam rather a pure game of luck.
