earn alot money|::::|wow your a very good person. if your sincere about your question. i think its becasue some people are in desperate and tigth situations and the possibility of gettign money is there and they are weak against the temptation.|::::|Probably because all of life is a gamble. From the day we are born, there is no guarantee that we will make it to the next hour. Gambling takes many forms. in the case of money. Working hard is one way to get money. But so is investing, which, no matter, how quot;safequot; the investment is, (such as getting interest from the bank, on a basic savings account), it s still a gamble of sorts. As far as the traditional definition of gambling with one s money... I don t think anybody who gambles recreationally, really expects to quot;earnquot;, the house always has the odds in it s favour. But I think most people hope to earn, and don t gamble any more than they can afford to lose. I visit Las Vegas a few times a year, since I live in Los Angeles, and Vegas is an easy drive over. I do gamble while I m there. But I never gamble more than I have set aside for gambling. I have always come home quot;in profitquot; but it s never that much. I don t go expecting to come back, being able to retire. I go to have fun. The most I ever hope for is to cover part or all of my trip s expenses (and it has happened more than once).
