Jus wondering what some people would say xP I would disapprove cause it is luck. If you are Irish you probs would win xD Just kidding lel.

Dont lose your money to gambling! Post how much you lost or how much you gained!
 
I think it's fine in moderation, like if you only play every now and then just for fun, but you know what they say about too much of a good thing
 
Eh, if it's not hurting nobody.

I've only ever gambled in games before (because I don't have any real money to gamble with lol), but it's not at all fun for me because I just get mad when I start losing immediately. I'm ok with others doing it, but I'd only spend like 25 bucks max before I throw in the towel tbh.
 
I mean I'm not opposed to it but I wouldn't do it myself.

As long as you don't get addicted it's whatever. Just don't gamble away your family's whole savings or something stupid.
 
I watch it on television every night. Live presenters shouting the winners out and stuff. Not sure why, but it just makes me feel so relaxed.

Have never gambled myself, though. No real interest. Not bothered at all by other people doing it, though.
 
Yeah. Plus our President has a bnch of casinos. Is America going in debt? 17 trillion or 17 quintillion in the next year?
 
People need to know their limits. Mass gambling is a problem. Debt is a problem. Playing a card game with your kids for Skittles or playing Cards Against Humanity with your friends for ten bucks isn't really a problem.

When you're taking your paycheck straight to the casino, that is usually a problem.
 
No, I'm generally against things that are addictive and have the capacity to ruin lives/families. Obviously when it isn't for real money it's fine. I used to play poker for jelly beans with my family as a kid.
 
i think its fine as long as it doesnt get too far out of hand
 
Sure, if you're responsible with your gambling. Spending a little every now and then to have a little fun doesn't hurt.
 
personally, i dont like gambling; my dad has a gambling problem and every paycheck he gets goes straight to the machines.
because of this, he is in debt, he borrows me and my younger brothers' money all the time to pay for things such as petrol just to get to work (brothers are >12).

Mum and dad always fight because of this, with mum being unemployed and having to pay for all the bills since my dad doesn't have the money to pay for anything. Its not doing any good for our family, i just dont understand why he does it; we're a family of 4 kids and life is hard relying on government money.

maybe too much information, but i just oppose it due to my dad's life crumbling because of it : /
 
Personally I don't approve of it. My uncle's family was destroyed because of his addiction to it. I think that it's a waste of money, tbh. I don't care if other people do it in moderation though, even though I don't like it. After all, it's their money. But I don't approve of it for my family. And I definitely don't approve of it when people put all their hopes on winning the lottery, rather than working hard to become wealthy.
 
you make the choice to do it... no one is forcing you to spend your money. If you are of age and want to, then go right ahead
 
The problem with gambling is some people view it as luck when what they're really dealing with is an algorithm built to predict human behavior. They feel like one day their luck will change and they'll make it big.
 
I think it's fine in moderation. I play the lottery occasionally but I don't tend to do anything else, maybe a scratch card once in a while. I wouldn't want to live in a society when anything that had the potential to be harmful was banned, because it applies to many things, we would have very little left

I think it can be quite addictive, so it's better to avoid all these things. Once I won 20$ in gambling but it was long time ago
 
I've never gambled IRL but I get addicted to slot machines on video games alot, especially Dragon Quest! So I don't think it would be good for me :p
