I'm to young to gamble online and i know i never will. When i think of gambling online i see it as very unfair odds against you, however I'm not sure. Do you gamble online?? how is it?

Well I never do gambling online but I am gambling in reality life...believe it or not I started to play casino games at the age of 14 because I look 21 and no one really knows my real age so I can freely play slot machines.I am playing for almost 5 years now and honestly,an hour ago,I was in the casino and it was a lucky day for me..:-0 I really don't play big money just for fun so I won about 200 dollars and I am happy from it..:-0 God bless and have a nice day..:-0

hi there.. all gambling is gambling, whether online or in the casino itself.. i remember posting a response to a discussion question a few days back and my stand still stays. whether you win or you lose in gambling, the casino (or the online server) still wins. it's a business, and they "play" to win. even if you win a lot, they still have a "stake" in your winnings.. the system of all the games were programmed for a "win-win" type of thing: the player wins, the casino wins small; the player loses heavily, of course the casino wins a whole lot more.. gambling "cheats" you of your time and your money which you could have just invested in a more productive activity. if you win, it's good. but even if you do win yet you don't know how to handle your winnings responsibly, you'd still end up a loser. on the other hand, if you lose and you're not able to handle the emotions that go with being a loser, you'll be a lot worse than the loser who's honest when he says he's playing just for fun (that is, he doesn't really mind losing).. i worked as croupier (casino table games dealer) for eight years and i've seen a lot of broken lives because of gambling -- in spite of the glamour, fortune and entertainment that comes with 'winning'.. i wouldn't encourage anyone to gamble.. but if they do decide to "try their luck," i can only say, please play moderately and know when to stop. happy myLotting, chris_h360.. you're right about the "very unfair odds.." and i do hope you stay true to your principle of not gambling.. :)
