Re: Gambling for money contradicts the very idea of money

You are onto something but I would say that gambling does not really contradict the idea of money, if I am being honest, I would say that gambling is sort of like still giving value but the difference is that you give it the money but you do not exactly expect that the value that you are going to get is going to be the same as any other out there, it is kind of like you are risking devaluation for the chance to get more value.
That's gambling, we risk our money to make a larger amount of money. If we compare it to using our money to buy food, it's actually similar—we are also using our money to buy a game or bet through gambling. We don't instantly make money that loses its value from gambling wins. In gambling, we are always risking our money with the hope of winning a larger sum of money. I guess it will always be like that. If someone says they gamble for fun, then we equate that money with enjoyment.
