Gambling has some benefits, but there is a lot of propaganda out there that condemns it just because a few people get addicted to it, but to deny that there are some benefits is a mistake, if you play in a physical casino you'll find friendly people there and you can make new friends, sometimes you can even make business contacts by going to the casino, that is in fact a very common practice in my country where two businessman after making a deal go to the casino to celebrate, also if you like to make sports bets you'll soon understand that you will need an advanced knowledge of mathematics and probabilities to become a winner.
Gambling has definitely a benefit and that is when you win a bet of huge money, quit gambling immediately and never come back to gambling. You will be successful. You took advantage of gambling. Now if you continue you will lose again and it is because of the greed for more and more money. Don’t be greedy and be positive and serious in life.
The unfortunate part to it that you are forgetting is that there is no guarantee of winning big as it all depends on luck and in reality, the chances of losing big is far more than winning big and while 1 is winning, 99 others are losing. Greed however is what makes a lot of people to focus on what they should not be focusing too much on which is winning which is why I always say as long as you cannot come to terms of having fun gambling and know that you have higher chances of losing, then you should not be gambling at all.
There is no propaganda about gambling bad consequences. If you want to depend gambling its ok but you will have to admit that gambling is the worst thing in life and if you continue gambling you will lose everything, money, car, property, business and even your house, because I have seen this many times in my life. I am not telling a story of a film but this is fact.

We have different threads where people have literally said they have lost everything or lost huge amount of money and what they should they do now. Well now nothing can be undone as it was their rationale decision taken to gamble inspite of knowing the fat that one can easily lose in gambling.

A negative thing has also negative impact. Gambling is assumed a bad thing all over the world because it has destroyed thousands of people and even their families. The benefits of gambling in my opinion are nothing and all about deficits around gambling. The consequences of gambling sometimes take you to the end of your life because I have many cases like this.

Both of your post says the same thing, that the consequences of gambling is bad. People loose everything for them as well as around them! I would not contradict to that because this situation is true for the "addicted gamblers" who try to make their living through gambling! That is where the problem is! If someone is relying on such an income source which is usually meant for entertainment and not for income, it's the fault of them and not of the source! Ain't it?

There are surely a lot of examples available for people who had lost their belongings because of gambling, sure thing! It is because their own addiction and not because some gambling house forced them to play! So how can you you blame the entire business for someone's personal issues?? There is no propaganda, it's a simple business!

Today evening, I was spending some free time by surfing various websites. Suddenly a website caught my attention which talks about the benefits of gambling. I was surprised because negative thoughts about gambling is so common, but positive thoughts are rare to find. So I went ahead and read the entire article. The article actually talks about the positive sides of gambling which I believe everyone should know and it made a lot of sense to me!

When we say gambling, it is easily judged and have a negativity impact in so many people. I am also a gambler. I like this thread because what you have said is true. But those things are not buried because of so many negative things regarding gambling. I hope this open the eyes of most people. It is not the gambling itself that is bad, it is the person that abbuse gambling.

Well it's gotten that reputation with how many lives that irresponsible gambling ruined. Families, careers, these are affected mostly in a negative way by addicts. That's why the positive effects are mostly overlooked.

Well I believed that in every situation/thing has its own benefits that is positive.

Due to gambling we forget why we enter in casino,  you bad vibes fades away because of people around you. You meet new set of people,  it helps you to become more strategic in playing.

I also think that if you are good in math you can think about the probabilities to use for some specific games like dice, cards etc  that will help you to win.
All your thoughts about gambling are false and there is no truth in it. Gambling itself is bad thing and when somebody become addicted of gambling he also becomes a bad person of a society. Most people of his community keep distance from him because of gambling addiction. In my view gambling is the mother of almost all crimes and you are depending gambling here.
I don’t think that what you mentioned here are the benefits of gambling. New set of people, new ideas, new casino, new gambling planes. These are all nonsense. You mentioned these things as benefits of gambling because there are no good benefits of gambling and nobody can explain any benefit of gambling which is good for the people around him.
A negative thing has also negative impact. Gambling is assumed a bad thing all over the world because it has destroyed thousands of people and even their families. The benefits of gambling in my opinion are nothing and all about deficits around gambling. The consequences of gambling sometimes take you to the end of your life because I have many cases like this.

Even with the regular gamblers, except for those who have already accepted that they are just having fun and they are not expecting anything serious apart from just having that fun, they are the ones I would say because of their mind control they can easily accept losses at the end of the day, but in the real sense, apart from that which I mentioned, I really do not see any benefit gambling brings to a gambler unless the gambler gets lucky and in most situations, luck is something that is very hard to come by.

Do you think that gambling has any benefits? Yes I agree that there is one benefit of gambling, when you win big money in gambling, quit immediately and never come back to gambling. Start some respectable job or business and spend your time happily with your family. I don’t think that there are any other benefits of gambling, which are good for life.

No, that is not a benefit of gambling at all. There's a possibility that that might happen to you but it's not part of the gambling itself. Besides, the amount of people losing is far greater than the amount of people actually winning. Another thing that I have to point out is that why would you need to hit the jackpot from gambling before you can apply for a job? Last time I checked, they don't require money in order to accept you. They require experience and a degree. You can be a rich person but still be not qualified to a certain job in the same sense that you can be a poor person but still be qualified for a job.

With that being removed from the list of gambling benefits, gambling is left with zero benefit.

Benefits of gambling you guys say?  Yes!  If you have a nagging wife that you hate, you can gamble online at home to avoid her.  And if she wants to divorce your ass cos you gamble too much...  Just sign the papers and you get what's half of hers.  Full benefits achieved.  Lololol.

That might be made as a joke but I have to say that it's an immature choice. You can simply man up and talk to your wife and say that you're unhappy about your marriage instead of losing money from gambling just to create something that will break your relationship apart. What will you do if she was able to tolerate your gambling? Is it really worth the money and the stress when you could have divorced in a better manner had you only manned up instead?
I think that the gambling always results in worst. You will lose everything if you continue gambling for long time. I have seen deficits of gambling more than its benefits. By the way I don’t understand that a bad thing has benefits too. When something takes you in debts what should be its benefits. It is a matter of money and you will lose your money at the end.

Winning in gambling is not a benefit. Why can I tell? Well it is common for gamblers to hope that they will be winning the big prize whenever they gamble and if they do, it is obvious that they will be going back to gamble hoping to get more or get back to what they had lost in the past in which, they don't really get back because they are continuously losing.

Still you're controversial....

Winning in gambling is not a benefit. I can win in gambling and still benefit by leaving the Casino when i left with a positive profit...

I don’t know that there are any benefits of gambling. You can say the benefits of online gambling. Yes online gambling has some moneyless benefits, like no need to go anywhere for gambling, gambling from your bed, no fear of looting and snatching, no time limits, no payment hazards. Apart from these benefits I think that gambling is totally destruction.

Gambling can be entertainment when people using it for entertainment but when they are expecting to make profits from the gambling sites then it will be a problem for our life.Gambling has more problems than benefits just as you said gambling is for the lucky people if someone can't win in gambling then they will lose their capital money and also OP has much deeper form of benefits like it can make revenue for the governments but I don't think any real life casinos paying taxes for the income they have made.

Just as with anything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages. It's known that gambling has more negative things than positive ones, but that's no reason for people to spread misinformation that gambling is completely bad for your life. There are a few good things within the field of gambling, which could benefit your financial life easily. With gambling, you can have fun and interact with other players. On skill-based games, you could easily win them if you're quite knowledgeable. However, games that are based on randomness such as Dice or Slots, have more risk and are based in pure luck.

It all depends on how much money you spend in a gambling site, and if you're able to achieve self-control. Because, if you spend all your life savings into a gambling game without taking into consideration your financial future, then you could lose it all. Therefore, only spending your spare money for gambling is the wisest choice yet, enabling you to experience the benefits inherent within such field for quite some time. Just my thoughts Grin

But unfortunately, we cannot win a bet, and we cannot get much money in gambling because we don't have any chance to see our luck comes or not. Maybe we can say that the benefits of gambling is we can enjoy various games in the gambling places, we can meet new people and talk to them or discuss anything, we can learn about focus in one game. But the one thing that we must remember that playing gambling can make we lose big money so we need to know when we should stop from the games.

there are still also a lot of benefits of gambling and we cannot deny that fact, we can hit a jackpot in no time and we can be a millionaire that we didn't expect, but we also be careful because we must also know that it is still risky and we need to take some limitations for it.
For most gamblers generally, the benefits are really not applicable to them as far as I am concerned. Come on guys! Take a look at the OP's list and it so glaring. Everything glaringly shows that at most of it, the government and the platform or casino owners are the ones who stand to get the benefit with an assured statement even by the OP.

All the above, take a look at the 4th one which is the only thing on this list that I would say sensibly applies to a gambler, but even at that, it states, you COULD win! Grin I guess that statement on its own is just explanatory all by itself.

I hope that it comes to your mind that people might be blinded by this benefits that you have mentioned which is not totally a benefit at all if it is causing trouble in exchange for that benefits to other people or Government. This benefits that you have mentioned are only working on those lucky person in gambling, what about those people who never win in gambling and losing most of the time they gamble?

Isn't it unfair to them? gambling is a game where the risk is much bigger that what you are expecting, it is not a game that anyone could play, it is much more than that.
The benefit at the end of it all is even much more related to the casinos and the government anyway but for the gamblers, they are just more like the donors in this scenario and a whole lot of gamblers do not know that.

The thing with gambling that has made a lot of people to become a victim of addiction is because they so much focus on the aspect where you can win a lot of money if you are damn lucky and then discard the aspect where you will have to realize that as much as winning can come into the show, losing can even come into the show with more rapid force than winning.

Gambling may have benefits for those it has benefits for, but generally for gamblers, except you are able to cart away with some huge amount of money by luck and realize how lucky you are to use it effectively well, then, that is when I would say it was beneficial to you.
If you want to avoid people in the world, your family, friends, relatives, neighbors then you can gamble in a place where they cannot find you. This is the only benefit of gambling, as someone says that gambling is because of loneliness and depression.

Otherwise I think that gambling itself is bad and it has no benefit at all. You will lose money, respect and social contacts with the people around you.

No way.
The regular gamblers used to play what ever the considtions maybe because they are getting some kond of pleasure from it which they don't want to miss out but the people greediness is the another reaon why most of the people chooses gambling these kind of people will face more problems than the benefits.
