Can Jews Gamble?

Judaism doesn't look at gambling with a positive eye. Besides that it's so addictive, besides that it's such a waste of time, besides that it's something that cheapens your soul, there's something else. Judaism sees it as a subtle form of deception. Cuz when I'm taking your money, even if I win, you weren't really counting on you giving me that money. It's almost by force. You have no choice. In other words, I'm really using dishonest money. And you know what? At the end of the day, even if I win, I come out a loser.
