Yes its true but what about those who destroyed their lifes because of gambling and i can tell you i am one of them...thankfully my life is not destroyed yet but i think it will soon if i continue gambling...so would a article like this will me to go to gambling yet again...what should i do...i lost close to 10 BTC already in gambling...i loose on a daily basis...even if i win i am not able to stop myself and continue to do so until i loose all of them again....

But it is your fault that you lost money that you can't afford to lose,10BTC is huge money so you realized very later I think.Gambling addiction is one of the most negative concern about gambling but people are getting addicted to greediness and their fault so we can't blame the gambling for it.We should enjoy our gambling that is what the gambling was made for.

Why the getting greed that we have to understand right. If any day they have luck on them and won the big fund means after they will really look into the make profit again and again.
But they will not able to achieve the profit at all mate.
Most of the people loosing money to recover the lose what invested to recover from it.

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.

4. You Could Win

Yes, I was agreed on these aside from the rest number that I don't relate.
Entertainment, yes it mostly does if some people get bored and gambling is the answer.
Not sure in gambling can take place in a Safe Environment, for me gambling and robbery were the same.
The last one is you could win but actually many losses, in gambling, not all the time you always win and I think the percentage of winning is in 15% of chances of winning.

We can of course win but it has become pretty rare now , if you want to gamble now on a casino there is a guarantee that you will never withdraw any profit from it because of the rigged fair system. And people might be bored of playing dice now so eventually there isn't any benefit
Currently according to me the only benefit is investing in a bankroll , you can easily get 5-10% return a month(on yolodice not sure about other sites)

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!

Article Link: https://www.benefitsof.org/what-are-the-benefits-of-gambling/

There are really people who believes in the first place that gambling doesn't have benefits. Maybe yes to those who experienced worst and bad on their gambling journey but on the other side of the note, it's obvious that gambling isn't always a "bad" thing to consider.

Aside from the mentioned things on the lists, gambling have a "unique" benefits to those who feel that way.

Just wondering...why people still continue to gamble? Why gambling is still one of the successful industry? Why gambling activity is not declining as time passes by even with bad effects? That was because of that "unique" benefits that only the gambler itself knows.

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.

Yes, it will not help to any governments because gambling owners won't pay any money to them. There are many fake gambling website will get most benefit to themselves only. Most of the cases people used to loose money with those fake websites.

there may well be a revenues for the government, but to be honest this may be only 1:10 and the great advantage is only the ownership of the company and the people will increasingly suffer if gamblers come with their ignorant behavior, see here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic= 4082557.0 he joins in a foolish way and it is profitable for the company. But yes blames primadice for his folly

Agreed with all of them but 3.
The fact that it take place in an environment which may look like is safe, may be a negative thing to consider.
People may think that this environment is safe and won't hurt them, so they may feel safe to keep gambling and gamble, which may actually lead them to bet more then they planned to lose.
In that situation the gambler may become addicted and it could be a very dangerous situation.

2. Gambling Is a Form of Entertainment
4. You Could Win

Gambling is a form of entertainment, benefits from entertainment should be great and fun spent time. If we can win some money along the way that is even better. Other things contribute to community, this two are main individual benefits that some person can have from gambling.
Everything is good if its consumed right, as long as gambling is fun and entertainment it cant hurt anyone, but when become more than that it can be a serious problem for a person and that person siblings. I don`t have that kind a problem, I gamble with money I can spend on fun, in gambling you need to be ready to lose.

1. true, but when we are talking about stimulating the economy we need to look at both advantages and disadvantages of it. and I'd say the downside of gambling is bigger than the upside of it for the economy. it is true that a casino can create new jobs but it also is making a lot of gamblers (players) poorer which is the damaging part of it to the economy.
2. that is the only benefit that I can agree about.
3. this is not a benefit!
4. yeah but that is a chance not a sure thing so I don't think we can call it a benefit
5. I don't even know how this is going to work! taxes? aren't better ways for that to happen?
6. this is the same as #1
7. this is the same as #2

This is a very nice article and it's like a oasis in the desert, people would yet term it as a mirage but I loved this article. I had been advocating for quiet a while that gambling should be allowed and everyone should be indulging in it freely. People often hit out for loosing but what about the winning part that no one ever talks.

I hope people change their beliefs post reading it.

There are pros and cons of every person even a gambler about the article,in fact the gambling is an entertainment that can satisfy our passions.I agree with all the results of the article nice but I will add a little to those who do not like a gambling,well can eliminate the heavy stress cause there are faces of people who win or lose entertained by the behavior of gamblers with a positive mind so that the fatigue was lost from the face of the stressed person but not with the gambler who is always angry and it should be shunned There must be some kindness from the gambler.

Agreed with almost all of the details that you (actually, by the article) found. People should not see gambling as a bad activity if the person who's playing it have restrictions and discipline to tackle it accordingly. Things go bad when people lose their control over their emotions and gamble more than what they can afford to lose.

I, myself see it as a form of entertainment where I just splurge myself in moment when I'm feeling happy. In that way, I can walk out of it anytime I want without any regrets. Gambling while being depressed will really put you in a very bind spot. It is all about emotions and perception about it.

besides the profit of earning money after earning a victory, another advantage of gambling is learning to trade. the basic science of trading is very similar to gambling. where we will make decisions like a big bet, and will gain an opportunity to win or lose.

I agree with all of the above and in addition I only want to show one particular example of how me and my family are benefiting from gambling.

We love to watch new movies and high-quality TV series like Homeland, Westworld, Silicon Valley and the like. Unfortunately we don't have TV channels broadcasting them and even if we had, not all of us know English that well to watch it in the original language. And so it happens that we can only find the latest movies and episodes translation of which was sponsored by this or that online casino. Yes, we hear the advertisement in the beginning and in the end of a film, but we have the opportunity to watch a copy of a decent quality with pretty good translation. For some reasons no one except for the online casinos is doing that kind of thing and I'm really grateful for that.

But of course no one should ever try to make living from gambling because although You Could Win like the #4 suggests, you should know that your chances to lose are greater.

Every economy has its benefits. Even if you look at dark economies or the blackmarket, they of course contribute to jobs and income. The drug cartels in South America are a huge GDP. The smuggling and ransom activities of groups in South East Asia, and piracy in Somalia all contribute to employing people and feeding families. The US declares war on other countries to take resources and give jobs to military and industrial activities.

Not saying gambling is like that, I love gambling, but this is a funny way to look at its benefits.

Sense of success is the most desired reward.For these feelings I also gamble for money online. But I do not make rash investments or bets, I always do research before deciding. I also do not bet more than I can lose.
