Nowadays, we can find many online gambling sites, casinos who guarantee that you will big bucks, attractive gifts and many other pompous promises. I personally have never tried as I don't trust them. But some of my friends have participated and actually won some good amount of money. I wonder whether my fear is baseless. May be these sites are really genuine. Do you guys agree that taking part in online gambling is a smart move to earn extra bucks? If so what are the precautions that need to be taken so that I don't suffer from huge monetary loss?

i don't think so unless you have alot of knowledge about gambling. even so the sites could still be rigged for you to lose.

Generally speaking, the odds never favor you in gambling. You're trying to get lucky and have some fun. As such, you should only spend as much money as you can afford to lose. Just think of gambling as an additional item in your budget. It's not hard to avoid losing big money if you stay aware of how much you're spending and follow your budget strictly. Not all forms of gambling are created equally also...a skilled player in poker can earn a regular income from the game, for instance. I think there are online casinos who are running a legit business, but I also think it's very easy for them to manipulate the odds so that they're even more against you so do keep an eye out and keep talking to other gamblers about their experiences.

I would like to share with you something that I read. Most of the online gambling sites are scam, you earn a little in comparison to your investment because their software is biased and that most of the times you will lose money. Secondly in India gambling is illegal( except in Goa) and so is online gambling so that's all.

Um, not really. I think the casino always wins in the end, because otherwise, how would they make money? So even if you may get lucky and win once or twice, you will probably lose more money than you win in the long run!

Well gambling is never a good idea to make money. I do gamble the odd time myself but its merely for fun only since the odds are against you to win most of the times. Gambling should never be a option to use to make money because there's more chance you will lose then win.
