I think as 'Tattoos' were a topic of 'bad' behaviour, gambling can definitely be up there as well :)
This link explains how gambling is a form of entertainment for people, however it also goes on to explain how gambling is an addiction and how it has many different levels.
It states in order of strength ...
1. Lotteries (traditional), bingo - soft gambling
2. Destination resort casinos
3. Urban or suburban casinos
4. Convenient Gambling: gaming devices in bars, slot machines
5. Ultra-Convenient Gambling: interactive television, mobile phone, or internet gambling
The first thing i thought of when I saw this was As If bingo is classed as gambling (my nans all for a bit of Mecca you see) but thats when I realised gambling is completely one of those things where I think of total idiot blokes wasting all of there money of the machines after a few pints. But thats really not the case when you think of professional poker and Vegas. People actually turn gambling into a career and manage to win large amounts of money!
It's like the lottery someone has to win! So why shouldn't people play? It's all down to pure dumb luck! If you win, you win! You lose then you lose, it all depends on knowing when it's time to say "thats enough now"
Knowing when to stop is the key!
