Gambling does have the potential to be dangerous for people who can't control themselves & allow it to become an obsession. It just depends on whether or not they let it take over their life. But I don't see anything immoral about it at all.

I don't see anything immoral with it. I've been wanting to go to Las Vegas since I was a kid to try all the casino games.

Gambling I think is more stupid than it is immoral.

It's only stupid though if you lose a lot of money. Now my mother has a friend who plays the 7 and 8 cent games and can win $200 at a time, that'd be the way to do it I think.

The operative word there is "can". The small wager slots don't pay out well. I don't go to casinos, but have heard that from a lot of people who do.
No, I don't think it is immoral.

Not if the gambler is being responsible about it. $6 a week in lottery tickets is the extent of most of my gambling.

I love slot machines and if I win the lottery I will be flying into Vega for a few days! As it is I go to the local casino once in a great while and play the penny machines. When I have lost the $20.00 I started with I leave!

So long as they didn't steal someone else's money to bet with, I wouldn't call it immoral.

No, it's not immoral. I've been gambling at dog tracks since I was a kid and it's a lot of fun. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't, who cares? As long as it's a good time.

Spoken from someone who has probably never laid down a bet in her life.
