Yeah, your opinion is on point.I do not bet on anything at all. It has never been in my nature to want to gamble hence my cold attitude towards anything that relates to that. Even if I could win, I can not feel satisfied spending money I somehow stole. That peace of mind is just not there for me. Besides, gaming should not tie you to an obligation to win at all cost. It's okay if you are rewarded but never cool to want to win at all cost. My opinion...
Actually you are right game should for fun, as a form of entertainment. Not to be a mean of earning money. But some do get on game not to earn money though but in attempt to have more fun. Often in this case it's between friends this particular is my case. It's something I call friendly gambling unlike the professional gambling that involves gambling on sports.No, I don't bet on games. I've never done that before and I don't see myself doing it in the future. I think gaming is that, a GAME. I don't think games should be used for earning money. For me, gaming is one of my favorite ways of entertaining, bet on it would make it more stressfull and I wouldn't enjoy it that much. I'm a competitive person when it comes to games, but only for the pleasure ow wining or getting into the next level of the game... not because I want to earn something from that.
I agree. However, the betting sites are popping up like mushrooms. People see it as opportunities to make money. At the end of the day, it is actually up to gamers to choose to participate. Compulsive gambling is definitely harmful.Actually you are right game should for fun, as a form of entertainment. Not to be a mean of earning money.

But in another direction for years now , sports, games have always being medium of gambling only recently that they add weather forecast and election results. Meanwhile politics is another game on its own.
Exactly taking gambling as job is harmful and I don't recommend it. The type of friendly betting that I mentioned is not about sport bet bookmakers, I mean friendly bet amidst friends while gaming.I agree. However, the betting sites are popping up like mushrooms.

Yes I can see your point. I just do not enjoy how much people hurt themselves in the name of gambling. I would rather put that small money in real business.Actually you are right game should for fun, as a form of entertainment. Not to be a mean of earning money.

Personally, I don't like betting in the game. It takes away the real charm of the game. It is gamble like we play in casino. We feel lost after loosing our money. I have not try this and don't encourage anyone to try this. It is very bad habit betting on games. We play games for enjoyment and fun not to loose our valuable money.Many gamers see fun in betting over games while others see it as not so a good thing to spend money on.
I personally know people who put money on top of their games so that the winner takes all the money away.
Majority of them spend all their monies and resort to begging before they can go back to their houses.
Honestly, I haven't bet on any video game ever. Lol.
Have you or not?
Do you encourage it?
Exactly bro. Being a gambler, you will sometimes find yourself spending the money that are supposed to be spent on things more important on baiting.Gambling is something very bad. I think it's a pure waste of time and money (no matter what others say). :triumph:

No, I never thought about it and never will. Gambling could be fun I get it, but it's dangerous at the same time so I avoid it.
You mean Gambling, i don't like it honestly. It's something like drugs or worse. There is many people who find that funny, but if the meaning of game is just enjoying, then why to take that risk to loose everything?
I have never posted a bet on a video game. In fact, I didn't know this can be possible. Anyway, I would not do it. I am against gambling of any type, football game, horses race or casino games. I never bet and I never will do so, I am afraid of getting addicted and lost my money, home and family!
