Gambling

Do you enjoy playing cards? Why?
Do you ever bet on something (like a football match, a basketball game...)? Why?
What is in gambling that makes it addictive? Is it the money you win, the excitement or what?
Is it possible that gambling is genetic (like smoking that some people believe is genetic)?
Can you think of any solutions for people with gambling problems? Do they need professional help?
Do you think governments are right to prohibit gambling? Isn't it better to legalize it and control it?
