Gambling is properly playing games of chance such as cards pitch and toss etc. For money. But it also includes betting which is staking money on an uncertain future event such as a horse race. The essential feature of gambling and betting is the risking or money on a chance in the hope of winning a larger sum.
Moralists always denounce gambling as wrong and yet at first sight it is not easy to show why it is wrong. It is true that in a game of chance or a bet one of the parties must lose his money but the gain of the other cannot be called robbery because both parties willingly agree together to run the you might say that if two sensible men agree to risk the loss of their money in a game of chance it is their own business and no one has any right to interfere with them. Perhaps a comparison of gambling with fueling will help us to see why gambling is an evil. In a duel as a game of chance both parties wiingly agree to run a rusk. In gambling they risk lives. But in most modern civilized countries. Fueling is a crime in the eye of the law and is punishable with heavy penalties.
