What is gambling?
Every transaction that is based on one party's gain and
another's loss, or if the transaction is obscure, is
called gambling or the act of playing for stacks in the
hope of winning is termed to be as gambling.
The word "gambling" is also use a variety of different
names to describe what they are and do. Most people
names such as "gaming" or "games of chance." They must
feel that these names are more appealing than the word
"gambling." They use these different names and other
ways to convey good feelings and positive thoughts about
themselves. But that does not change what they are and
do. There are not any good feelings or positive thoughts
about the gambling.
There are many reasons why people gamble.
A major reason to gamble is simply waking up in the
morning and feeling that today could be a lucky day at
gambling. You may have lost a lot of money gambling in
the past but are thinking that today could be lucky.
Truly that lucky day in gambling will never come. Even
if making a lot of money gambling in a day or particular
time period, that does not matter as far as permanently
increasing your money and assets. That does not help you
because you will always gamble back the winning money
and then lose more. Gamblers normally do not quit
gambling after winning money because they want to gamble
more. So they windup losing more, maybe not today but
someday soon. A lucky day in gambling is an illusion
that does not exist. There never is a lucky day in
gambling whereby money is permanently won.
Others reasons are:
1. Use of gambling as a way to escape problems or
relieve depression
2. Impatience with family or friend’s
3. Absenteeism and tardiness at work
4. Belief when winning that it will not stop
5. Gambling another
6. and many more
