Re: Gambling for money contradicts the very idea of money

When we win money, we break this scheme. In the same way it is broken by theft, robbery, or taxes. If money is obtained for nothing, it loses its value.
But when you win a certain amount from gambling, you certainly see the value that can be used for your desires. We cannot look at it from that perspective. When you win money from gambling, there will be a large number of other gamblers who lose money from their bets. Casinos offer wins from bets; you use your money to buy the value of those bets.
Thanks for mentioning this, I actually wanted to throw it as a question, if it was ok for other gamblers to lose so much money to gambling and then see it as a contradiction when someone luckily wins. Just like you said, this should not be viewed in that perspective, unless that the casinos would not also let money be involved in gambling, maybe people would just play with points and for fun.
