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!

The article lists 7 points as the benefits of gambling:
1. Gambling Stimulates Local Economies
2. Gambling Is a Form of Entertainment
3. Gambling Can Take Place in a Safe Environment
4. You Could Win
5. Gambling Contributes to Government Budgets
6. Gambling Creates New Forms of Revenue
7. Gambling is a Form of Game Play

The article is actually a tight slap on the popular belief that "gambling is harmful to the society". So I encourage everyone on this forum to read the article and understand it, especially the non-gamblers! Gambling is not a fools-heaven, it's just another business and an opportunity to the gamblers! Hope this article would clear your mind!

There is goodness in gambling of course especially on the side of the business tycoon and between government but if you are just a small gambler then probably you will be the to suffer the consequences of gambling. People should understand that gambling is a game of emotion which can lead you to a negative way until you broke.

Probably yes or probably no! If you are a responsible gambler and don't go insane with your bankroll, then you will not face any consequences and probably you will be able to earn some money out of it as well. However, if you gamble with your last penny, then you've pretty much made the choice for yourself! Not every gambler suffers a consequence of gambling till the time they know where to stop.

Yes there are also benefits from gambling industry. Just imagine how casinos will run without people working for in the industry, it provides employment to people who needs work. Therefore the industry has contributed also to country’s economy because people benefited employment.That’s how i look at it in terms of benefits, and on the hand, on gambler’s side also it is only very seldom to benefit from gambling activity because it is more on losing at the end😌

Gambling and Trading are very risky then crypto is very risky too but of course they popular from what conveniece they brings to every users so that's why they run too like we can learn a lot here while we earn so we use things because of the benefits of it,i think also if your not luck for playing gambling like you always lose better to try again in again until you win then just invest only the affordable for you then play for knowledge and fun after that i'm sure everything will go well like you can get strategy to play in gambling then win

No one said it is not risky but the thing is to understand the risk and know how to act on it without you losing your mind.

Gambling should be considered more on the entertainment side which is one of the benefits that the OP listed, it is just quite unfortunate that a lot of people put so much of their attention on the number 4 that they so get emotionally attached to winning so much from gambling and then get eventually greedy to lose everything. Those who see this as fun only gamble what they can afford to lose and they do not stretch themselves so much.

I agree.Gambling may only become beneficial and profitable if you will just play it in a short time but if you will make it as a long-term entertainment,i'm sure you will really get lose in the end.Gambling may give you chances to win as much as it will also give you chances of losing.

I find that gambling contributing to the government's budget and stimulating the local economy a bit controversial, because it might be true that not all people are corrupted and some of them are legit, but lets face it the ones that are not are the ones that have the big money the ones that go into a casino and spend 10k or 20k like it was nothing, and someone spending that much money defiantly didn't get it from hard work, probably that is dirty money and they use casinos to do some money laundering which is not contributing to the economy.

I find 5 and 6 completely irrelevant. I couldn't care less about the government benefiting from my loss.
Is gambling a good thing? Of course! It has its benefits the most important being 2 and 4. It's entertaining and it gives you a chance to win with this chance being rather high in some games like poker.

I do only consider 2 and 4 which are actually the benefits which can only be achieved by a certain player and the rest is indeed goes to the government which i dont really care at all. Gambling do really have its positive benefits but we cant really remove the fact that it would mostly give you negative ones if you let yourself took control over yourself. Always on control and just enjoy the monehy being spent into your leisure times without abusing it too much.

That is why number 2 on your list shouldn't have been there in the first place because you cannot gamble and loose money for entertainment if you are cautious of not spending or abusing too much money on leisure. I gamble because i want to win and the benefits my governemnt derives is just a bonus and whether they use it rightly is none of my business.

You are right and the thing i dont like is that the government on our country is included into the list where corruption is rampant thats why i dont really like for them to benefit when it comes to tax yet i had known on where those funds would go,even we say its none of our business but we cant really avoid to think up on things.Id rather play on an online casino and spoil all of my winnings (in case) and i do rather like to make the gambling site owner to be rich if i lose Grin

If you have enough of money, i think you just like an entertainment and doesn't care even if you just win or lose as long as you are entertained. Anyway, i don't believe that gambling can give a positive effect to the people, maybe in some other cases with various factors would change the case (too many to mention).

If i have enough money with self conviction i will still not waste my money on gambling for entertainmenmt since there are other forms of entertainment outside gambling which are also free of charge. If you have enough money that you worked hard in earning i don't think you will still want to spoil your self by wasting them on gambling unless you have no use or respect for money.

Using up money on gambling sites doesnt really mean that you have no use or respect for money yet there are people who would really likes to play and do make use of their money on playing without minding too much on the risk or losing those funds.The important thing on here is that you should really be responsible enough into your actions which your funds being used are not on the ones being used to support your daily living. Leisure is normal and lots of ways on how we deal on it, some would be practical where they do avoid on too much spending but there are people who do loves gambling inspite on being too much expense.

Also I think between can provide benefits or not to the country, it also depends on each country's economic life respectively.

Gambling cant provide benefits to the country or to the economy but rather gambling can only provide a benefits to its players .

I think the benefit that we can get when playing a Gambling is fun , profit , to meet new friends , and to learn how to accept defeat. We can learn new lessons from gambling as well.

Why couldn't it provide benefits to a country that legalizes and taxes gambling?
It all depends on how those taxes are spent. I know that here in Belgium profits from the national lottery go to various good causes, so that's how gambling directly benefits society here at least.

People are going to gamble regardless whether it's illegal or not, if you regularize and tax it, it can definitely help society out.
This should also include providing with information and possible help for addiction.

Benifits Yes for sure, if you look at it from a gamblers perspective

a gambler plays and hope to win , right.

So here is the scenario..

1, Player A play on a casino with fiat money, lets say USD.
He is Lucky and Wins 1000 USD

Player A cash out 1000 USD and is a happy champ. he call his friends, buy them some free rounds of beer etc. and soon this money is gone.

2, Player B go to a new crypto casino and play with BTC
He is lucky and wins 0.12 BTC

Player B Cash out 0.12 BTC, now the interesting part, This guy understand that this BTC is a little treasure and its fully possible that it can be worth so much more in a near future. so he goes from a gambler to an investor.

So..I beleive that a lot of A players, will turn into B players...pretty soon.

And I think from that the right way., we must always keep the emotions / controlling the emotions as possible and can betting calmly in the state of clear mind. Well.. I think from there we can mastering the bets/game to bring benefits and wins.

even though you have a clear mind or you can manage to control your emotions you cant still guarantee that you will win on gambling because gambling will still depend on mostly luck and not on attitude or skills.

all the forum users who are in this discussion must know that gambling there are some internal and external benefits, which you discuss is an external benefit in playing gambling of course behind the negative things there must be a positive thing in terms of internal such as train memory and intelligence such as train our left brain in calculating to set the strategy just the effects of playing gambling for the laity is very negative so that gambling is always considered negative by the public.

Well it's always been a fact that gambling isn't just something that could ruin your life. The points you've mentioned are basically all legit given that the gambler's attitude is correct. If you do it the right way, these benefits would come to you.

Yes of course there are benefits in gambling but the one that makes sense are gambling is an entertainment and new form of game play, the rest of it I don't consider as benefits for us, it benefit for the government and country, and other than that in gambling we also can make a new friend, gambling is good and give you benefit as long as you do it in proper way

Nice points OP. I never really considered this points as been the benefits of gambling till stated them. Especially on the benefits of been a government revenue, cause mostly country did ban gambling I wonder how then the government revenue comes to play them. Personally, I would usually say that the benefits of gambling is ;good for relaxing, good exercise for the brain and also possible means of earning few bucks if you are good and luck.

This won't help mate as most of the people here will have an expected feed back. Although we already know that there's benefit in gambling but otherwise we don't have the same feathers.
"Gambling is not good" , "gambling is harmful" etc.

To be honest, our society is still divided regarding gambling but we have like 3 big casino's and some minor one and even lotteries which "gives" a lot of money to our government to help them build projects like infrastructures (highways, roads etc).

In a sense, it has benefits, but my only problem is that I can't feel any significant changes as reports keeps coming in that the money just goes to the pocket of corrupt government officials. So as far as I'm concern, yes there could be benefits, but I do hope that our governments really used the funds from gambling to help alleviate peoples lives in our country.

I don't think the money from the gambling is going to help in the economic growth of any country and in many countries governments were banned the lotteries because of many fake and scam lotteries.But gambling sites are privately own so which may not give much profits to the government.

On the contrary to what you are thinking, Gambling can actually add to government's revenue if the government can promote it correctly. You can take example of Las Vegas and Macau. These places have successfully promoted gambling tourism to the world. The governments are actually earning in billions from these gambling businesses. In 2013, gambling industry contributed 60% to the Macau's GDP. Having one or two casinos won't help the economy for sure, but if a government can promote a tourism around it, it will boost the national as well as the local economy significantly.

Secondly, not all online gambling websites are privately owned. Many of them are registered and pays corporate taxes as prescribed. Yes, there are fake and scam gambling websites also exist, but a person with common sense, can identify those easily.
