Topic: Can't gambling addiction also be positive? - page 6. (Read 1044 times)
Anything related to addiction is never good, because anything related to addiction is definitely negative and it will usually have an effect on individuals or people around them, for example gambling addiction, pornography addiction, etc. People never mention positive things about addiction, for example addiction to worship, addiction to learning, etc., never, because those are positive things and are not relevant when it comes to addiction like what people imagine addiction to be.

I relied on the grounds that if some gamblers could regularly earn in sports betting, while others derive fun and take gambling as their hobby, are they not deriving a positive goal there? Is that not a positive addiction?
Been there done that. There’s no way an addiction will be a good thing even though you are consistently getting profit from it because you are focusing too much time on gambling and sacrifice other aspect of your life such as socializing and others. In the end, all the consistent profit is useless with just one bad lose because you wasted all your money and at the same time your precious time in the end.
This is why I always pause on playing gambling when I’m already having consistent winning streak to counter addiction that will potentially recover all my profit with one massive loss.
Addiction is never a good thing even if you are getting something good from it because there’s always an ending to your luck so it’s better to always have some time to rest rather than continuously play until your lack run out due to your addiction.
I don't know why I don't agree with the concept of the positive impact of gambling addiction. In my opinion, this is a dangerous disease whose cure is not easy and it is also difficult for someone to control their emotions. Yes, I know that gambling is sometimes fun and something that is fun definitely makes it a hobby and someone who feels pressure will always divert it to a hobby that they enjoy, but when it comes to gambling and becoming addicted it will only cause losses.
Which person would like to see themselves suffer big losses if they are addicted to gambling? even rich people can become poor and poor people become poorer and there are many more losses that must be borne by people who are addicted to gambling, it's not the gambling problem. In my opinion, it would be better if gambling was only used as a form of entertainment but not to the point of addiction.

As the title reads, I want us to come to a reasonable conclusion about this addiction of a thing in gambling by arguing it back and forth. Many months ago, I was in an argument with a user about the fact that the addiction to gambling can't only be negative as many people portray it.

I further argued that everything mustn't have to be about money to make it positive or negative. Some kinds of gambling and gaming relieve stress in some people and give them the desired happiness. This goes a long way depending on the mindset we played it.
Well, as long as the gambler doesn't care about losing money, and he values entertainment more than the money then I guess that's the time where we can considered getting addiction somewhat "positive".I further argued that everything mustn't have to be about money to make it positive or negative.

The problem right now is that, most of the people portrays gambling addiction as somewhat negative because of the impacts it can give to a gambler, but those are the gamblers that care more about winning than the happiness that they can get. There are some gamblers out there who don't care about losing money as long as they feel entertained. There are some gamblers out there that are using gambling as their stress-reliever. There are some gamblers out there who feel happy when they gamble or at least interact with other gamblers around them.
On the flipside though, the positive thing that gambling addiction can give can't weigh out the negative things that it can give to a person hence, they see it as a negative.
Aside gambling, addiction in general if not controlled on time can put ones life in jeopardy. Its not actually something one should be happy about. Yes we can say that some people's addiction to something can later turn our to be what they do best and will later become someone great from it but with the context of gambling it's has no positive side. Onces one gets addicted he will only end up gambling away his life. There's nothing that might be able to stop him. When a gambler gets addicted he can go to the highest post as borrowing to fund his gambling activities where he will eventually lose.
When a person is not addicted with a certain habit or lifestyle it’s difficult for anyone to imagine being in such situation, I guess op seems to see the brighter side about gambling addiction which doesn’t sound correct. No addicted gambler will enjoy the act and the surprising idea is they can’t resist neither do they have the ability to win always. The problem might be lack of money etc that’s why gambling addiction is bad, when an addict feels the need to gamble as a relieve or creating their desired happiness which I don’t believe it’s still attach with a different motive for example just imagine a student using his school fees to gamble, in such case can we still consider gambling addiction beneficial? No.

The word addiction already is summed up in negativity. Trying to imagine anything positive coming off it is like, taking sense out of the word which can’t be.Addiction speaks of an uncontrollable desire towards a thing and worst even, a field like gambling which could stir your desire to making money and you would be driven by it to a point that, you just can’t hold yourself.
Perhaps you might view it in terms of, having to be attached to gambling and your making money off it, even then, I don’t see any positivity in not having to have a great degree of control over how you gamble.

This is not an addiction, if you are gambling when you want to and for fun, you are not an addict. A gambling addict cannot stop gambling, even when they see that it is ruining their life, even when they are going completely broke, they sell their properties, steal and do all sorts of negative things to get money to gamble.There cannot be a positive gambling addiction, once you become an addict, you can no longer control yourself and the addiction controls you, it definitely cannot be positive, can it?
It's a fine line with gambling. Yes it's a hobby but can completely destroy lives if not managed correctly. I don't think being addicted to anything is good even if it's good for ypu. I always go with the mantra of everything in moderation. Same goes with gambling. When you feel like you have to do it you should walk away and or get some help before it gets too deep.
Addiction can not be positive. This is simply because the very definition of addiction defines very negative consequences. Gambling addiction in specific is tied with financial ruin which in turn also has various societal effects. For instance gambling addicted people may ask or just simply grab without authorization money from their relatives or acquaintances.
Really though if you consider any positive effect of gambling you have to consider that gambling as an activity is prone to addiction so if you consider anything positive you have to avoid addiction to have a positive effect.
Even not only about addiction in terms of its financial ruin that follows it but also the mental health effects that follows after one must have discovered how much they have lost, and it also time consuming, where one would waste all of his or her time gambling and trying to earn money but at the end of the day you end up going home with nothing, I still can't find where the positive effect would come from, else people wouldn't be warning about endangering themselves of being an addict victim of gambling.Really though if you consider any positive effect of gambling you have to consider that gambling as an activity is prone to addiction so if you consider anything positive you have to avoid addiction to have a positive effect.
But once a gambler can manage their finance's pretty well, they won't have so much to worry about the possible resultant effect of gambling addictions.

My view was a long epistle that I wouldn't want to bug anyone with even as my external sources confirmed hobby as a good addiction. Regardless, I don't want to limit this to my understanding, I want you guys to share your opinions as well.
There are people that has made money a working class person will never make and they have never made a loss that is going to send back to trenches, they legitimately makes all their money in gambling and it's working for them like if you should give them money to work, they threw that on you and take their gambling serious because they have their businesses established from gambling money they are making and if you are not talking about gambling, you are not saying anything.
Gambling doesn't work for everyone but if you spend your time on it and it pays your bill without any debt, you have my support to do it for full job as long as you are making the money. Who cares about addiction when some people spend all their time in their job as hobbies and make nothing. It's ridiculous how people don't see a single good side of money that's comes from gambling.

I think there is a very simple answer to your message here. The answer is in the message itself. If these people are not financially problematic and everything is fine in their lives, then this will be just a hobby and entertainment. If a lot of money is lost in gambling, then this can no longer be called a hobby; if a person loses more money in gambling than he receives, then this may soon become a problem. So the line here is very blurry.

Addiction gets to do with being tied to something which you can't do or feel normal without, it's losing your freedom because it's as though the individual is enslaved to that which he's addicted to. It's about doing or taking up an activity excessively beyond normal and It is for this that I don't agree that there's any good addiction. .
We all take part in this gambling of a thing, and we all know that there's no such thing happening as a regular earning in sport betting or casino games it has always been the other way around. If anyone wanna have fun or take it as an enjoyable hobby, fine, but never embark on it excessively cause there's no fun in addiction.

If you consider there are many types of gambling and certain kinds like poker can require a lot of mental dexterity, there are definitely positives that can come out of it. Like you said, gambling can act as a form of relaxation and entertainment for some people, as long as they understand the risks it is the same as any other game. I've seen people throw thousands of dollars away on skins in some games with zero chance of being able to make anything back from them. Different games can also act as a social event and bring groups of friends together - again, if everyone is having fun and knows that there is likely to be one winner with others losing, then it can be a way to have fun.
No addiction can be positive. I mean you can look for some positive aspects, like a TV addict can also learn from it by watching some educational programs, or you can say that it's better if a gambler is a gambler, at least he's not taking drugs, right? 
The bottom line is that no matter how many positives there are the negatives will always outweigh them. When you compare all the pros and cons the result is going to be negative.

Some people think about it in reverse despite the fact that it's making them drowned to several circumstances. The pride was too high, self acceptance is the problem in most certain mindset because when it comes to fun with gambling a person used to ignore some situations.
Even though they've been challenged on this addiction, their self pride remains firm its because of different thoughts that won't be diverted into new scope of reliable ideas that helps us flee from bad habits.
Gambling addiction is more bad things that they experience, maybe we have heard about the destruction of someone in gambling due to addiction that cannot be stopped because this has a bad impact so it is often considered negative for some people, I myself define this as bad there is no positive because it is more about wanting to continue playing without knowing time.
From what side will addiction be positive, even we often discuss about addiction almost all lead this is a bad thing.

When we grow up, we realize that everything in this world has two sides, like a coin, there is a good side and a bad side. I have repeated many times here that we are all addicts... the only things that differentiate us are:
1. What we are addicted to?
2. Whether that addiction controls us or we control it.
What is addiction? Something we like to do over and over again, an action that repeats itself every day. It can be anything, and the main thing is always whether we can control it or not, if we can't it will eat us sooner or later. As we get older we learn, obviously some people never get it, and some get it too late... don't be that guy.
So as long as a hobby (in this case gambling) is all about fun & entertainment it's great, it will have positive effects on you. But if you overdo it, and go deeper in the rabbit hole your world will become more complex.
