Well, I buy my wife some gifts ... that's 1 thing ... I also like buying cat food and feeding the cats where I live, there is a mommy cat and 3 of her kittens, they're very cute and I like to pet them ... so yeah, I spent around $30 buying food for them for like a month (a 18 kg bag) - did I spend money? yes. Is it the same as gambling? I don't think so.
In gambling you might be handing over your money and getting nothing in return.
You might be taking away someone's money and getting nothing in return.
Religiously speaking it's bad (to not covet) but I'm sure most of us here are not very religious people ... so morally maybe it's okay, maybe it's not ...but ask yourself this ... dealing against an industry that its aim is to prey on people and take as much as money and assets as possible ... what makes your think you have a chance?
5Dimes got tons of money ... you bet there, you think you can beat them? How many of you managed to "beat" 5Dimes? And I'm not talking about winning $1000, I'm talking about beating the bookmaker ... yet again and again most people find themselves losing ... it's unexplained ... I lost it again ... even if you have a month of winning streak it would come back at ya ... why? because that's the way the system is designed ... to take your money.
So I do see lots of difference between spending money on gambling and buying something else ... perhaps the exception can be buying 1 or 2 lottery tickets, but that's by itself is a waste of money and time ... the chances of winning the lottery jackpot are so slim, even if you live 1000 years your chances are still pointing out you won't make it.
