Actually gambling can makes people become unpatient though, people want doubling their money fast on gambling and bet randomly to get more profits.

Impatience from people when it comes to gambling is as a result of the mindset they have towards it.
They expect just so much from it that they eventually lose track of things so fast because they are trying to chase things that are not realistic.

Ask some gamblers today, they will tell you they are gambling because they want to make profit from it, and then you ask yourself if they are really sane or just stupid. Well, benefits as far as I am concerned when it comes to gambling are only relative to the casino owners themselves.

A benefit from gambling does not need to be a materialistic one. Gambling could be a way to pass our time in entertaining way hence the befit may be some soothing experience to burst our our stress and to forget the headaches of corporate or personal life. If we look for benefits this way, then yes really benefits from gambling are there Wink

Yes, some people can see the benefit but most will see gambling are evil and not worth to being fight for !

I just hope that they don't just "see" the benefit of gambling, they should be also feel and learn what can be done by Gambling in their lives. Gambling destroyed a lot of lives in the past, there will be in the near future and I hope people will be able to overcome those problems since not only themselves will be affected by that but also the people around him.

Regardless from the list on OP but in my view benefits of gambling only belongs to people who can control their emotions and desire while gambling with avoid to being an addicted but gambling will have negative impact to those who can't control their emotions and being an addicted but i think people will always be consider gambling as bad habit

According to various researches from 0.5 to 3 percent of adult population have some issues with gambling, including being addicted to it. I'm not saying it's nothing, no, actually it's a big problem and we have to do everything we can to prevent people from getting addicted. But it must be noted that the percentage of alcoholics is much higher than that of gambling addicts. More than 7 percent of the American population aged 18 and up have a drinking problem. I haven't managed to found similar info on Europe but according to the World Health Organisation, the European Union is the heaviest-drinking region in the world, so the percentage of alcoholics in Europe must be even higher. Taking the above into account, if drinking a beer or two, or a glass of wine or two, is considered okay by society, playing a game or two should be considered okay as well.

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/

Well in this world where gambling is only said to have disadvantages and being seen as bad thing in the society specially in my country....you have given some very good points and i totally agree with you,..will motivate us all here

Its a business like every other, I would call it entertainment related. Its unfortunate if they do overtax it but the method I've seen used is to tax gambling profits at a flat rate related to revenue streams within that business. That way the government gets its regular contribution from the industry and the company itself can easily plan the accounts.

Theres nothing especially bad about gambling where as the alcohol industry can cause ill health, there is so much money poured into clubs and other retail outlets for alcohol which is essentially a luxury unneeded resource in an economy. Yet these businesses are the most stable in a recession. Since the government has to balance its books and pay its debt interest no matter what they should especially value gambling as a slow and steady reliable backer for government income flows

I am not agree with the fact that gambling is a business or profession. It do not require any basic knowledge or education, or even do not need any specific skill therefore it is not good to call it a business or profession. It is a game and is in fact a money game, you have chance to make money from it or even can lose your own in no time.

I usually refer those who see or take gambling as a profession or business as those who are just so lazy to work but are finding ways to make quick money from the likes of gambling.

That is an absurd way of thinking as far as I am concerned, and for one fact, the people who are making a lot of money from gambling are the gambling owners themselves, and virtually higher percentage of gamblers lose every day. Therefore, associating something like that to business is just way out of league.

Definitely yes, gambling is not worth it to have benefits to the gamblers. Most likely it will have a negative effect on the wealth of the people who got addicted to it. So, much better we can avoid this possibly happen at the earlier stage and we know the limit when we stop to avoid huge losses.

I don't think it's a matter of placing gambling as number 1 on your list, provided that you have control of yourself to not be emotional in playing because that will only make you lose all your money later. that big risk makes fun of gambling not replace with other games. the most important thing is not to get out of control, if you really want to have fun from gambling then allocate special funds, don't gamble more than the funds you allocate

Unless we really want to be deceiving ourselves though, I must say that gambling whether it is number one on your list or not, is bound to make you lose control of yourself.

Yeah, certain people have been able to master the act of self-control, and that has helped them hugely in the gambling space, but if we really want to be truthful, these are just very few people compared to many. Like you said last, better to just stick to the fact that you are losing and you are gambling with what you can afford to lose with just 1% chance of winning which you should not bank on if you want to gamble at all.

I am not agree with the fact that gambling is a business or profession. It do not require any basic knowledge or education

Gambling and luck based games relate to statistics and probability which is a form of mathematics going back hundreds of years. I studied it in college, its definitely a valid logically built business style. It might not be how people play it but a business can certainly stop to analyse and structure their regular games to feature games that are profitable while also giving a chance to win far larger amounts then the stakes given by customers. A simple lottery is very commonly operated by many local governments as its quite predictable and seen as a social activity, the other more varied games relate similarly

Seriously? You learn gambling in campus, maybe your country does legalize casino gambling or anything else maybe?
If that is the case then there is indeed a point if there is a section for analyzing in gambling and it is indeed related to math-related calculations, but not all countries legalize gambling and not all campuses have a gambling curriculum. But by having a lot of friends in gambling, I can also conclude if the gambling is indeed enough to be an additional income if they consistently win gambling and I have many friends like that, so gambling is not entirely detrimental, because there are still many people who take advantage of gambling, so gambling can be said to be a profession and business too.

People who are gambling as a profession are getting paid just to play. Those who see gambling as a business are the ones that owns a casino or an online casino. So what happens to the rest of the players? Since gambling is a zero-sum game (i.e. while you win, somebody is losing), other people should be paying these people, right? It's us, the unfortunate ones, that are paying for these people. Our losses goes to them. So unless you're smart enough and you put enough time to become a professional gambler, or you are business-oriented enough to establish a casino and have it funded by people, I don't see how else are you going to make money from gambling.

You basically make money from the losses of others in gambling. But in the end of the day, if you want to make sure money from gambling, you're going to do work. It's not just about getting lucky all the time. Others see gambling as a sport wherein you can have a strategy to play with. Others see gambling as a business that as long as you're able to offer a good service to people, people are coming to you and you're going to be making money.

Yeah it's a negative influence, people are more accustomed to getting big and instant profits, so that when their jobs give small
income they will get angry and maybe get out of their jobs and focus on gambling, gambling has bad side effects

I do not know if they are accustomed on getting big profits but I think they are since no gambler will be coming back to casinos or gambling sites to gamble without experiencing a great amount of win or profit. There are a lot of gamblers that is happy winning a gambling activity and a lot of people that is hoping and desperate to win but I think the best thing we can learn from gambling is that earning money is not that easy.

It really does help stimulate the economy as well by providing jobs, this is something that the gambling naysayers often forget about.

I agree with you about making friendship, I think it also helps being patient.

making a friendship is one of the benefits in the gambling game in online gambling or offline gambling. but for being patient, it will depend on personal because we can be patient if we want to try and learn about how to be patient. I think we can get another benefit in gambling which is we can make a rule about limiting the money and try to obey the limit money that we use in gambling so we can prevent a big loss.

Actually gambling can makes people become unpatient though, people want doubling their money fast on gambling and bet randomly to get more profits.

then they will get lost all of their money because they cannot get fast money in gambling games except fast loss. we learn many things about gambling and we know that gambling games are the fastest way to lose our money. but there will be another benefit of gambling like I said and making friends just one of the benefits. maybe you can just visit on the gambling games without placing the bets and you only want to talk with other people and say hello to them.

Accustomed in getting bug and instant profits? You are like saying that peoplr or gamblers are used in winning great money pots but it dont really happen that easily. People are being envious of people that are rich and won a lot of money in gambling.

The reason they are real desperate to win is because they are comfortable to what they hve. Most of the gamblers also tends to be the easy-go-lucky types that just wants to go YOLO in life without any real plans and rely on luck.

Legalise gambling as concept doesnt even add up in my reckoning. Risk is a normal natural phenomena, calculating the odds of future occurrence based on previous event and known factors again is just a regular calculation. To outlaw the idea of an unknown event being waged on two opposing parties just seems nonsense, its normal business.

Every farmer who grows a crop is taking a vast risk. He must account for the agricultural factors behind each crop he hopes to sell, then on top of that he has to hope the market itself wants to buy the crop at a reasonable price that gives a profit or least pays the costs.
Gambling is a game because it removes the work and long form maths from it and merely presents the gamble as a game. I can understand regulating various actions people might take like borrowing money to gamble, that can be a bad idea but its foolish to try to stop the idea of risk any more then a government can stop the rain.

It really does help stimulate the economy as well by providing jobs, this is something that the gambling naysayers often forget about.

This has been the opposite for me but I still treat it as a lesson. The people who introduced me to gambling were very nice to me initially. After, I joined with their referral links , they even stopped visiting me. I have seen fake people approaching me for friendship and then dropping referral links to various sites.

However, what you are saying might be true for physical casinos.

This is true not only for land based casinos. I've made a lot of friends through online gambling, dozens of friends. Although we never meet in real life we chat frequently on various gambling sites or on related forums. Btw I've never joined any site with their referral links neither they've done it with mine. I think ref links "friends" is another story and maybe that's why you were unlucky with them. You can meet some really interesting personalities in the chat rooms on gambling sites and expand your horizons by talking with them. No kidding, try it.

True! So many times in social gatherings when you tend to meet a lot of new faces, play together on certain games, you get to familiarize yourself with people like this and can help you connect with them socially which we all know such connection might be of help in the long run.

You would really be surprised at some interesting people you will get to meet in casinos which are something that can also be used as an incentive or benefit for gamblers asides fun. Making money from gambling should not even be a thing to think about.

Nothing like being patient when it comes to gambling as what is mostly important is to accept your fate of losing even before you start the game and that would make you to gamble what you can afford to lose anyway.

Benefits of gambling to me would be more applicable to the casino owners and not for gamblers except for those who were able to have some heavy luck and smart enough to win a huge amount of money and cart away with it without acting stupid to lose it over again.
