Hi guys let have your view on this questions because only real gamblers will understand what I mean?
Is Gambling with your hard earned money Worth it because I have come to the conclusion that gambling is a scam

Of course it's a scam. Go on and find me a casino that gives you better odds than the house? Go on and count how many casinos in this board are truly provably fair, and not just praying on idiots to try their games that are more than likely to be rigged (even more so than the odds being rigged against you, which is simply a fact when it comes to all forms of gambling where you play against the house).

No, it's not worth gambling with your hard earned money.

Why do you think odds are an indicator of a scam? If one casino offer 1.5 on a favorite, but other gives 3, then second casino is a scam? What I think is that not paying out is the only way how can a casino scam a gambler. However, there are real reasons why honest casino will not pay out as well.

The fact is that with majority of the online casinos being promoted in this forum and outside of this forum, you can never truly verify that your results were fair and random. As for whether the concept of gambling and casions are or aren't a scam, it depends on your perspective. There is no one who can down right answer "it is not a scam" or "it is a scam" as some view rigging odds against another as a form of scam, others view it as fair game as long as it's transparent (and others view that as exploitative of mans weakness for profit). That's why it exists in some countries, though is banned in others.

I think this is the first post here that someone openly claim that gambling is scam (which is strange since you promote gambling in your signature).

I'm being paid to have that advertisement in my signature. It does not define or sway my honest opinion, as I have shared here. Does a website displaying a rotating banner advertisement mean that everything promoted is what the site administrator believes in or endorses? No. They display the advertisements for profit, just as I am. How I see it is that if a degenerate gambler wears this signature, the money goes back to the casino which = free promotion for the casino, or, if a corrupt individual who promotes gambling just because they wear a gambling signature sways their negative opinion on gambling to positive, these are more negative outcome in comparison to myself wearing the signature - where what I get paid does not go back to the casino, and my opinion against gambling remains in tact and uncorrupted. I hope my explanation clears this topic up for you...or do you prefer to just speak with people who have the same opinion, that gambling isn't a scam?

All operating casinos have the same goal, which is to make a profit, so it is natural that the chances of winning owned by the casino are greater than those of its players. This does not need to be debated because in my opinion no one can change this other than the casino owner himself, I don't think anyone can have a greater chance than the house, this is very unlikely, even impossible.

Gambling is uncertain, so don't do it excessively by betting all your hard-earned money. Because when you gamble just for fun and it's your lucky day, you will go home with a profit.

Whether you excessively bet $10,000 in one week or $10,000 over on year, you are still more likely to lose the $10,000 to the casino. So what's the point?

I think it depends on how you define a scam.

The casinos clearly indicate their odds. They operate under those odds, and the gamblers are aware of that.

I wouldn't call that a scam, as everyone involved knows the rules, and proceeds to engage, or not, in a transaction.

A scam in my view would be a casino operating with different odds than the ones published. Imagine a coin toss where the odds are not 50/50 but 70/30 for example, that would be a scam in my mind. But if it is 50/50 and say, they charge you a fee per coin toss, then that's not a scam in my mind even though they are going to end up winning more money than you in the long term.
