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.

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.

If the context is about taxing gambling, I think this would be so worst and most weird step by government of that country. Actually these politicians and state is our beneficiary. They must try to adopt policies and legislate them in a way that is hundred percent suitable for us and for our society. While gambling haven’t any connection with these golden words. So never legalize gambling.

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?

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.

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

for someone who is indeed actually and truthfully gambling for fun which sometimes I wonder where the fun comes into play most especially for online gambling, we may actually say they may get the some of the benefits mentioned by the OP even though most of the benefits actually go to the casinos and the government anyway.

Well, I hope you get the best from the dice you roll and at the same time know that nothing is guaranteed and most of the time, losing is even more guaranteed no matter how you think you are smart enough to tweak the mechanism, because the house edge are absolutely not stupid as far as I am concerned. It is gambling, and nothing else, and attaching a lot to it and expecting the best from it is what has made a lot of people turned to addicts as they could no longer control the emotions anymore.

Quote from: rickadone on August 08, 2018, 07:16:30 AM

Gamblers are bound to lose money every time, and careless gamblers are bound to lose even more, which makes the whole idea of benefit sucks anyway since you can get those benefits from somewhere else without having to gamble.

But the idea of being relaxed without at least having to one way or the other think about the money you are losing is only something you can achieve in a traditional casino since you will have people to gist with, you can at least do other fun stuffs and so on, but that does not still mean that the benefit that is there mostly is far lower than the disadvantages that is available when it comes to gambling and that also depends a lot on each individual as well.

If this gambling is restricted with much compliance and concern to only limit of games and enjoyment then it is okay. But still you must see whether your religion is allowing you and your state is allowing you to legally play this game. If it is so, then next big step you must take is control of your mind. How strong you are that you can resist the addiction in best possible way.

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.

If someone is playing gambling for making money and become rich, that's there choice! It's a free world and people can do whatever is permissible in law. People make mistakes in life and then learn from those mistakes to make a better future. Gambling is pure entertainment and nothing else. If someone is looking at it as a method of making money, they are doing it wrong! Now if they loose and start blaming gambling as a whole, that's their mistake and not the mistake of gambling industry itself. Definitely risks are there but any sensible person understands that risk and play accordingly. Like every other industry, there are pros and cons of gambling as well. So a gambler needs to know how not to be go overboard and become addicted!

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.

In gambling, you can not bad earn, I at the expense of games live and do not work.

We can't earn with gambling? as the thread says and its content there are some benefits that you can lean on it.

If at your expense do not work on it that's fine, you don't have to do it at your own expense if you can't see some good outcome.

I think the economy of the country will grow because of the gambling owners pay the tax and I think the amount will bigger because the owners take a big profit too from the business.

The growth of economy of a country from the people's bloodbath should not be consider a right one. I mean, people are ready to pay tax and from that tax money alone a country's economy should be developed and not from the taxes being collected from gambling houses. That is the reason many countries have prohibited gambling completely even they are aware of how big those gambling houses will be for generating income for a country.

Quote from: maydna on July 30, 2018, 06:31:31 AM

I think there will be many negative from the gambling that we should aware so we don't play gambling in every day and spend a big money on the games.

Yes, these negative things makes gambling as a bad and prohibited one even it will be having some positive things within it. Weightage of positive things should be higher than negative things so that we accept the existence of benefits from gambling.

Quote from: bitofc on July 05, 2018, 07:56:08 AM

Some of us use gambling as a stress reliever. No matter if I win or lose I end up having a fun time and forgetting about my daily life. It makes watching sport matches much more exciting. I feel that the less stressed out we are the longer we live. I mean we all die anyways so might as well have a good time and do what makes us feel good.

Gambling as a stress reliever ? The reason I do not gamble much is because even though I feel I am catching fun once in a while, I get stressed with some headache even the more. I really do not know why that is since I do not always expect to win anything anyway, but still, it is normal to want to have that zeal since that is where the fun really is. If I wanted just playing game for the fun of it, there are several ways to play such games without gambling anyway.

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!

The wrong economy that drives gambling is legal, because gambling will benefit the country because gambling houses will pay the taxes already in use for any legal business. Not only profitable for state taxes, gambling also increases tourism

I think the economy of the country will grow because of the gambling owners pay the tax and I think the amount will bigger because the owners take a big profit too from the business. maybe we can see in Macau and las vegas which gambling is legal, many tourism come to that places just for playing gambling. but I think there will be many negative from the gambling that we should aware so we don't play gambling in every day and spend a big money on the games.

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

The only benefit that i got over these years of gambling a part from money was mainly friendship . I have tied so many friendships these past years in either casinos i go to or cyber coffee shops where i usually go to study the future sports events and speculate about them , and through these years i have made friends who are very good at speculating what will happen especially with the sport games that they follow the most , having such people in your life doesn't only make it easier for you to speculate and place bets , but also to find another way of spending your time and loose the whole of it on gambling .

Visit BookiePro.fun and you'll be able to find a variety of games to bet on , as a veteran gambler i enjoyed using it and it has a unique user experience that you won't experience elsewhere than at BookiePro.fun !

I don’t agree with you. When you gamble with a person he will be your rival and will be your enemy if something bad happens. There is no friendship in gambling. Gambling is a bad thing and there is no benefit of it. No doubt you will destroy yourself if you continue gambling for ling time. I have never seen that a gambler won a lot of money and quit gambling forever.

All of that in exchange of thousands of people ruining their lives. All of that in exchange of families getting torn apart because their family member gambled way too much money and thus forever putting everyone in their family in debt. It's funny because millions of money goes to the casino every month which all could've been used to feed the poor, to adjust the education system so everyone can afford it, or overall just to make one's country a better place. But no, gambling is wayyyy too important. Gambling only gives the gambler thrills, a momentary adrenaline rush. That's all the advantages of it.

All the other listed advantages such as casinos paying huge taxes, casino being a form of entertainment, and casino owners helping back to the community, they are all being done by other institution as well, even the smaller ones. We are all paying taxes. We can entertain ourselves in a different way, much cheaper way. And we are all helping back to the community. Does gambling really has any benefit or at least something different that can justify the fact that it has destroyed so many lives?
