Note this the amount of money lost or won doesn't determine when gambling becomes problematic. Because many people believe that when you loose a specific amount of money in gambling them gambling is then problematic to a person. And other consider gambling to be problematic when it only give a person a financial problems, no I don't think so. What I consider problematic is not only when gambling cause you financial problem, but if gambling is interfering with individual's relationships, job, mental or physical health or any area of their life then gambling is problematic. So what about you guys what do you think? You contributions matters.

This is a broad issue, op, it just seems like this, is gambling bad? Because we have different views and understandings of gambling, it is not new for some to think that some will
say that it is bad and others are neutral on this matter.

It seems that the only logic is that if they think gambling is bad, they should avoid it, not play or gamble, that's all. Because once you decide to gamble at a casino, you should know how much you are willing to let the casino lose, because if you don't have limits to do and you lose without being prepared, you will definitely blame gambling, but the truth is that we are the ones at fault, not the gambling casino itself, because we are the ones who decided to put money into the casino.

gambling is not bad, but it become bad when you get addicted to it and start gambling with the money you can't afford to loose, less say your are earning $1000 per week or in a month and you gamble with less say $500 from your income it's bad. Or less say you get addicted to gambling and all you think about is gambling instead of focusing on your wife and kids then gambling is bad. If you most gamble, gamble wisely and gamble for fun and not the other way round.

Less take example from what @God Of Thunder said, what he said really make sense.

Well, it should vary from person to person's financial strength. I started to lose most of my earned money in gambling, which is problematic for me. I don't want to lose my hard-earned money. I often gamble for entertainment purposes and sometimes to participate in contests, and I often end up losing the deposit. But if I start participating in all the contests, I am sure I will lose a lot of money, which will become problematic for me.

If someone has a hundred dollars but they lose $50 in gambling, I think that is a problem. If someone has a thousand dollars and they lose $500, that is a problem too. But if someone has a thousand dollars, and they lose $50 in gambling, that should not be a problem for them. Right? So it depends on the financial strength.
