Gambling could also be argued bad behaviour and i tend to agree, i think its very bad behaviour when a person works all week and blows it all on gambling. if they put the money away every week they would probably be allot richer than they are any way.

however i think its quite hard to say this, as we all gamble in one way or another. i think waiting to see if you have won the anticipation and the feeling of winning is so fantastic, you can see why people get addicted. its easy to fall into a pattern however, my Nan (bless her) used to have a scratch card once an week, now she between 4 & 8 a day!. she knows what she doing and she tells me if she wins it will come in handy for a rainy day! she 84 she had all her rainy days and with 8 daughters, and 24 great grand children she gonna be looked after however her gambling goes. but she still loves the thrill of seeing if she has won.

i think gambling is ok aslong as your in control not the urge to gamble.
