What do you mean by the word equivalent here? It means that it is clear that from the beginning in general everyone must gamble with money from their hard work, you yourself decide to gamble and there is no coercion or even threats from anyone including the casino that tells you to get involved in gambling, so of course it doesn't make sense if you think that the casino has cheated you just because you experience a loss with a possibly quite large amount. On the other hand, I am honestly sure that you will never think that you have been cheated by the casino if for example you managed to win, meaning that the assumption of fraud actually comes from within you because you feel disappointed and emotional because you lost while on the other hand it is clear from the beginning that defeat is part of the consequences when you are involved in this activity.
Exactly you where the one who decided to gamble with your hard earn money no one forced you to gamble, that's why they kept telling you guys to always gamble wisely by using amount of money you can easily Risk ( though no one is happy to lose no matter small the amount may seems). But risking that you can easily Risk is far more better than go all in with money that should have been use for something better even when you endup with a win there where still a chances of you losing .
anyone who cannot gamble with what it can afford to lose that person will continue to complain about gambling and the person will decide to say that gambling is a scam why gambling is not a scam, some persons does not understand the basic things of gambling and that is why they always locks their money during the process of gambling you cannot gamble with all your money you cannot gamble with whatever you have said you will Gamble with the money that is common for you so that whenever you lose it do not affect neither your business or your family.
