i wish everyone would stop going to casinos… i promise you i used to always win, then you start gambling more money, and you start losing lots more than you win…
im sorry things didnt work out for you.

ya i used to think gambling was awesome…. my entire house furniture is paid for by casino winnings…. then i realized the truth… i added up my gambling losses, and im averaging $3300 losses every 23 days… thats pathetic… thats over 2 house payments in less than a month that i have blown at the casnio.. yea i started out just taking 100 dollars into the casino, but soon you lose the buzz of winning just 10 dollars at a time…
pssshhhhhh gambling pays my bills muther fuka
Pretty good video, but I doubt 35 million teenagers are gambling addicts. That’d be an enormous percentage. Perhaps you meant 3.5 million.
i agree with the definitions below and i’d like to add that, despite what people say to justify it, investing in the stock market is a form of a gambling. just a more socially acceptable form of gambling that is more legitimate because it’s favoured by the social elite.

Same thing I thought. But from age 21 to 23 i lost about $3,000 and now hate casinos…
poker is not an art. it is gambling. it is a game of numbers and percentages along with insticts that come with experience. you WILL make money in the long run if you have a plan and are disciplined. it is game that brings out your impulsive side. and it can over take your life. i am a pro.
Love it, but I cant bluff so I play craps. Which is sorta capitalist but you don’t have the edge so in a way its more capitalist because your a small business vs big corporations ie the Casino. If you win its more glorious.
Im sorry
poker players are risk takers. Great players take a small edge and play it out thousands of times. Just like a casino.
In poker it is man to man. A zero sum game. There will be winners are losers. Sounds like a capitalist game to me.
If yout hate poker, be a communist.
poker is an art, anyway i dont live in america so ill be fine
uncertain outcome…is most def gambling…a certain outcome would be considered a long-term profit to me…thus it is not gambling…thanks guys
Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. Typically, the outcome of the wager is evident within a short period. (POKER FALLS UNDER THIS DEFINITION).
@spankykirky everyone talks about the long term…the long term….the long term. GUESS WHAT BUDDY, you live the short term. you live in the present. Habbits and addiction can develop well before the LONG TERM can show profits. GET A CLUE…if you are a winning player i woiuld LOVE to see you in 5-10 years.
then why do i play it for a living? bc its a game of skill…you just cant comprehend it thus its gambling to you…thanks
Poker is def not an art! haha People only play it because of money! Poker is the worst form of gambling because it has you thinking you have control but you don’t! I can can call an all in with aces and still get beat! It’s still a gamble!
I give it a D-
poker is gambling to those who are not skilled in the game…in fact, it is not gambling at all it’s an art and can produce a plus expected value of money in the long-term for those who are SKILLED…it’s the truth…most people are not skilled enough to win thus they write it off as gambling bc they are NOT GOOD ENOUGH…example, stock market is the same as poker…profitable decisions in the LONG-TERM WILL SHOW PROFITS
I make thousands playing poker.
Gambling is just a re assortment of money to people who are smarter
Survival of the fittest.
If you dont like it. Be a communist.
Good video. It’s only bad if you don’t wanna hear the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
