Gambling is an activity that seems to work well in keeping the mind young in many people around the world. There are many people in their 80’s that have been playing in a regular poker game for years. Not only is poker a game that requires the use of several parts of the brain it is also a social experience. While you are playing you are also talking and joking around with the other players, which also keeps those different parts of the brain well lubricated.

Blackjack is another card game that is good for the brain. Blackjack requires the use of short term memory. Exercising this part of the brain is very important in the fight to stave off senility. Most people think there is nothing to blackjack except trying to get a hand as close to 21 as possible, but there is much more to it than that. Players need to know how each card affects their hand and the dealer’s hand. If you have ever sat at a blackjack table in a casino you will see it”s not really about getting the best hand it”s all about trying to get the dealer to bust, and this takes a good knowledge of the odds and memorization.

As for me, I like playing

I like to hang out at casinos but I don't gamble when i go there and if I do gamble - its no more than $30 dollars. We have been to Las Vegas twice so far - and in those 2 weeks at Las Vegas - gambled a total of $5 dollars. We went for the architecture - the shopping sprees - the shows - the buffets - the water works - the swimming pools

[Fitness-Fanatic]

I feel indifferent about it. Most people just gamble for fun lol

I couldn't be on a relationship with a guy who had a gambling addiction though.

[NaughtySarah]

It's fun once in a while

[GraveTruth]

Gambling is another term for "volunteered tax".

It basically means that the gov't created gambling in order to take money for themselves from people who want to donate it.

Gambling is generally for welfares and human trash.

[jakeofalltrades]

I like it

[MileyHouey]

Me too. I don't personally see anything bad in it unless it causes some serious problems, of course. But nowadays, it is as dangerous and some MMORPGs, for example. I like some online casinos like
a lot and it brings me some fun and even money from time to time. So, I think that it is ok to gamble provided you do it wisely

[Lippime123]

I am for gambling, within reason of course. Yes I am underage but the games I have played with friends have been fun

[Avalon2]

On cruise ships you can gamble at 18

[ALPHALONEWOLF]

see if it as game then it's good.
but I personally prefer anyone one to do this. it sometimes become an addiction and people lose everything.

[John_Doesnt]

There's nothing fun about an addiction, however a few bad apples shouldn't be allowed to take away the fun of everybody else. I'm okay with gambling in moderation.

[Comawhite666]

i'm indifferent but don't want to be with an addict though

[Kaylyne]

Personally I am dead against it, it simply leads to heartache and misery.
But Each To Their Own.

[KnightCross]

Gambling can become addiction, thus a sin. But it should not be illegal the same way alcohol is not illegal.

[Anonymous]

Its how I spend my days. :D I love it as long as I feel like the game is fair. If I can tell the casino is cheating me, I'm done. But I've seen a lot of people lose a crapload of money they can't afford to lose there. That's never cool.

[rgb008]

It's fun.
Just don't get carried away and get an addiction.

[TacosRAwesome]

I'm for, simply because if it wasn't for gambling I wouldn't have met my boyfriend.

[Katherine3110hun]

If you know how to be smart about it go ahead.

[LesbianBusinessWoman]

I like gambling, but too much of it is bad for you

[WriterAndPainter]

Go big or go home. Either way you're going home.

[smahala1991]

I do play the lottery scratchoffs

[Vivaldi]

Against.

[timacleary]

It's morally wrong
