Gambling is an intentionally dishonest act. For money. A lot at stake. You are attempting to seperate a fool from his money. There is somebody with money at the end of the game, and there is the fool. It is a shell game.
When playing with friends, that's one thing. You play for kicks and giggles.
When you are out to make a buck, you bring that money home.
