Gambling is money wagering on games, sports, or any potential event. In this regard, financial and Stock Market investments are a similar gamble, but these tend to be supported by some intrinsic value to the investments. Gambling is a "bet" : virtually every bet yields a win for one side and a loss for the other. Simply observing the outcome of gambling, one can see the enormous revenues from lotteries, gaming devices, casinos, and to the governments that tax them. This indicates that gambling has a nearly absolute result that "you lose your money". DISADVANTAGES OF GAMBLING * Personal savings and income are squandered * Money is taken from other economic uses, investment, and charities * Poverty is reinforced because poorer gamblers take greater risks in the hopes of a big win * Addictive gamblers often resort to burglary, theft, larceny, embezzlement, and similar crimes to get cash * As with criminal activity, the chance for greater rewards than ordinary employment is a disincentive to the work ethic
