Gambling is definitely a form of entertainment for me, for instance playing Multi-Wheel Roulette Gold puts me in a good mood whenever I'm playing especially if I'm winning big bucks!

One of the biggest positives for myself and gambling are the friendships I've made from it.  Formed a lot of good relationships with great people that I wouldn't have if I wasn't involved in gambling.

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.

The other reason why other addicted people are not quitting gambling even if they are losing is because of this kind of post. I'm not saying that it is bad, but I hope you know guys that posting positive things about gambling could be bad for others, not all of us who tried gambling always win, sadly it is the other way around. Even though there are still reminders you have said that it depends on how we are going to understand the risk we are facing in gambling, still, it is not enough for someone to win in gambling.

Benefits in gambling only existed to those who are winning, or who are lucky playing gambling, but it is a curse to those people who joined gambling just because of a mindset that he could win, he could do what other could do(which is to win in gambling)
Well, you can never take that away from someone, the possibility of earning/winning a high amount of money. Or the fact that you can win when you continue to gamble, which a matter of fact, is not true. That's just how gambling works and I think it's not always a good thing especially when abused. Probably, what I think of is that when you gamble, it's due to the possibility "the mindset" like you said. That's scary when the person is addicted.

Playing the dice game is a great way to pass the time, and if you play it conservatively you cant lose all your money.
Its nice that I can roll the dice and only risk a few cents- instead of when I bet sports and there is a few mbtc minimum (chance to lose more).

Totally agree that you get more playtime for your money, but i think a lot of players like the thrills of playing slots with Crypto and hope to get to the bonus rounds where they can get up to 1000x bet.  But of course its also a really easy way to loose your money fast. however you should never bet for more money than you can afford to loose.
That last part says it all. Everyone can decide to have their own reason for gambling, which a lot of people are doing it for the possibility of winning some huge money at the end, some because they said they want to have some fun and so on and so forth.
What is important is to understand that as long as gambling is concerned, the chances of losing is still pretty high and better to keep that at the back of the mind than getting to find out the hard way.

In as much as people can understand that last part and put it at the back of their mind, I guess we will end up having a sane world of gambling. I know a lot of fun can be had in real casinos anyway to discard the mentality of winning at all cost, but for online gambling, I would say it is not necessarily the case.

A lot of people have ended up finding it the hard way because they could not control themselves and that is where the main problem starts for them. So, in a way, benefit can only be applicable to those who really are having fun, the casino owners and the government.

Look I have been here for so long time and following all such comments regarding gambling. The positivity and negativity that revolves around this game and all harms and profits associated with it. But brother for the first time I just saw a comment that is full of positivity. You seem so satisfied with friendships you have made from gambling but what about loss that you must have had in your tenure?
In very beginning I do not know that how but it is a fact that they make money.  For example when I was very new in gambling, on very first day whie playing  dice game online I made about 2000$, and I think that it was really a big profit for me, but after that I think that in next two weeks I thik that I lost more than 20000$ but still even I know that I cannot make money from gambling I like to continue and still after every lost I want to quit my gambling activities for ever but I never succeeded.

Yes, you are correct about that, Gambling does have a lot of benefits, but there are also downsides with gambling, and some gamblers out there know it, it may benefit the economy, but first things first, will it give you benefits as well? I know that it is entertaining, and yeah you can earn while enjoying the game, but as this continues to happen addiction comes along to you as well, it's like a drug perhaps, addiction is dangerous, addiction can actually lead you to stupid decisions, and that is why I don't think that gambling will only bring out positive things, there are its side effects as well.
I myself cannot see any benefit of ambling, most of the people play gambling for making money, but I think few people may be succeeded in their aims, while the rest of the people lose their own money that they have put for playing gambling, in fact the chances of losing money in gambling is more high than making money from gambling.

Yes if they play for making money you are right. But what about playing for the entertainment and fun of it, without other motives like wanting to become rich? It makes it a positive - I would argue.

Indeed gambling has benefits that includes fun and recreation, also can increase self confidence if you win a game. It exercises the brain and makes a creative mind. Some study says older recreational gamblers seem to be healthier than non-gamblers. It boosts their social aspects and maintains an active life together with friends.
Increasing self-confidence if you win a game is like setting yourself on a suicide mission because you will end up losing everything at the end anyway. One thing you want to do is to fix your mind to the idea that you are bound to lose everything if care is not taken, and the fact that you got lucky today does not mean you will get lucky tomorrow since it is not like all the luck is meant to be for you.

If you want to have huge fun, exercise the brain and gain confidence on something very realistic, then gambling should not even be the first on your list or possibly not be on your list at all.
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

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.

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.

"Trading Platform of The Future!"
August 31, 2018, 08:36:01 AM
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!

Some of the points you mentioned are reckless.

4. You Could Win
That depends on how trained you are and how you treat gambling. Also there are chances to Loose.

Quote
5. Gambling Contributes to Government Budgets
Gambling has been declared Illegal in most of the countries and also there is no point of vambling contributing to the government budget as most of the funds used in gambling are in the form of Black Money.

Gambling can be treated as a mean of entertainment and also most of the peoples earn good revenues in gambling but it dosent mean that gambling is 100% beneficial. Point of view for gambling depends on each individual's thinking.

Yes, it has a lot of benefits but it also has a disadvantage to those who already addicted into it. Being addicted in gambling cannot make you get benefited because in my opinion there is always a big chance for them to lose a lot of money. Not all the time we need to think on a positive side of gambling because maybe those who are saying positive things about gamblingb is a trap for you to play with their site.  Grin
Yes that is right that there are some benefits of gambling games but it is also a fact that a lot of drawbacks of gambling games are there. I personally know about a lot of people who have already lost a lot money in gambling, I think that gambling is also too much risky and more chances are to lose money in gambling games.

the risk of losing money in gambling is already very familiar to everyone. for some people who are accustomed to gambling, they certainly get many benefits and can help their economic system, so that the positive side of gambling can only be felt by people who are already accustomed to gambling

Yeah, gambling also helps the economy of such country with a legal papers to conduct it. I do agree that gambling helps us to make friends since gambling is socializing with others, teammate or against with. As well as giving jobs to some people like a card dealer, cashier, checker etc. let us see what the gambling can make not focusing on what losing can do to us.
I am not so sure about it. In my country they have been so greedy in taxing services and players that they just moved abroad. So no taxes for now.

I guess that is just right since if there are a lot of gamblers in your country, instead of banning those gambling sites or casinos, government will just find a way to let those gamblers gamble and them having some advantages like getting good taxes to them. They are gambling, and those casinos earn while the country is getting good profit for it's development and it's improvement.

Good to know that you were able to make some friends from gambling platforms. Yeah I have made some friends too but, from my experience it's not good to involve money in this 'online' friendship. Don't give loans or ask them. It's better to keep the friendship away from that.

Government could get a fair amount as tax from gambling. Sadly, my country doesn't allow any type of gambling activities except for some states. yet, underground illegal gambling worth billions. If government could regulate it, that would really help the economy.

This is just the same situation as my country. In fact, gambling was an illegal activity when I was kid but everything changed when I started to get in Elementary School. The government decided to put gambling as an illegal activity while in fact they earned so much money from the tax and it helped the economic condition of the country. Obviously, the government lost one of the biggest income from the gambling tax but of course people could not do anything except accepting the rules.

Government always there for the welfare of the people, no doubt that your government may be might be collecting a big money from gambling through taxes, but it is also a fact that gambling  has already ruined the life of some many people so may be for stopping people to ruin their life in gambling your government has taken that step.
