i don't agree.
what you say is only true if you have no control over yourself. i mean if you can not control yourself and keep losing after losing and then borrow money to lose more then you are an addict.
but for example if you are just gambling a fixed amount every month just for the fun of it and you are prepared to lose just that fixed amount, then there is nothing wrong with it.

that mindset of "im fine if i lose this much this month" is bad in itself, in your mind you are already setting yourself up to lose that money instead of saving it. gambling is accepted in today's society and is open for responsible people to try their hand in, but i think that there is little to say that favors gambling other than "its fun." but even then, its only for a few moments.

No, by "self respect" I mean you should gamble as much as you can keep your head up. I didnt mean that if you have self respect your should gamble! Vice versa, if you have self respect, you will gamble responsibly.

Depends on luck. Are you generally an unlucky person?

If you are then try to do thing in reversed order, maybe it could work.

For example if you play roulette and you would bet on the red , then try betting next time on the black and it could work.

I`m not saying it is a guaranteed method,because its not, but it is worth a try.

Not true. What MinerHQ said is in fact a bunch of bullcrap. What if those people lose money on their first bet? Will losing also make them addicted? No! They will just get bitter and stop.
It's like saying that alcohol is wrong because it can make you addicted, but actually most people who try it never become alcoholics. Alcoholics are just a small percentage of all drinkers.

Well on many gambling sites, there are faucets or no deposit bonuses for you to try them without risking your own money. It allows you to gambler for free, but the amount is usually very low.

It is possible to get money for "free", but it's only until a certain time until your luck runs out.

A martingale method can last relatively good, but eventually you will lose all your money.

But if you can be disciplined and stop before that, you can walk away profitable.

Gambling is not at all wrong if you are playing just for fun. If someone is addicted into the gambling and don't have their own control and if it is affecting their personal life, social life and also there is a load on their bank balance as well due to the loss in gambling then it is wrong. if it is just for fun and one has total control on their self then there should not be any problem.
