Gambling is a fun activity done consciously by the gambler, no one forces you to do it, it's a personal decision made by those who engage in it. Gambling is only a scam when you get defrauded by a casino or sportsbook. A friend of mine told me about how his account got swiped by a scam casino. According to his story he said that he put in his card details to deposit money, after doing that he started noticing that he was being debited by an anonymous source constantly, he had to transfer the money he had left to another account, in this case you can call it a scam. No one is promising you a win, it's 50/50 and everyone is aware of this risk before placing a bet.

It is true that gambling itself is not a scam if it is conducted in a fair manner. However, in your example with your friend, we are talking about a clear scam on the part of the casino, which may be due to the insecurity and unreliability of some platforms.

Many of us gamblers believe that gambling is not a scam, although there are some casinos that operate illegally that end up being scams. But if it is regulated, the chances are high that it is not a scam.

We just have to know how to investigate or choose casinos whether they are legitimate or not, because if we have no idea, we will surely fall into the trap of casino scams.

Gambling is not a scam and every person that calls themselves gamblers should know about this and should not tag it a scam because they are not making as much as they intend to make. Losses is allowed in gambling and there is no way we are not going to make losses as gamblers. It is better we gamble with what we know we can afford to lose as gamblers that to feel like a game is a sure one and it's going to give us huge profits when it's obvious that there is nothing certain in gambling until we see the result.

I normally gamble without having the responsibility that it's a must the bet must come out a successful one. Let's take a way the mentality of entitlement in gambling even though we are giving the game and it could not come out as the way we play the bet.

that's true
the thing is a lot of people don't take responsibility themselves for their actions
they end up blaming the house or even other people for their losses, it's curious that this behavior don't usually happen for their wins
humans are curious creatures after all, we act in ways that sometimes we don't even understand

gambling is not a scam, that is for sure, but what about when we scam ourselves, sabotaging?
