When you get yourself in gambling everything is in a disadvantage because your valuables is at risk there is no guarantee of winning 100%.
I don't agree with that, although gamblers loss most of the time but there are times that we can win and even if we lose, we can still enjoy gambling.
Actually everyone has different view, we are gambling to have fun, relieve some stress to forget our problems for a while, so even if we spend but we get entertained then I guess you can call that as an advantage.
When someone care about their money and don't want to lose it at any situation then they never should try to gamble because here they have probbility of losing is high.
Then if you say like that, it is better to not playing gambling because we don't want to lose money in the gambling games. You have a choice to gamble, but you also have a choice to stay away from gambling especially if you are a concern with your money. It is an option for every gambler.
In the gambling games, we need to have a plan on how much money we can afford to lose, so we don't feel sad if that happens.
I just said the same in simple sentence. Smiley

But losing money is not a disadvantage in gambling because it need to be considered as spending our money than rather losing it.

Yeah, you are right. I don't want to lose money either as you. But I don't think that what I lose in the gambling games will make me so sad because I know the risk that when I play gambling, I am willing to spend some money because I have a chance to get the loss.
I think there are many other disadvantages of gambling, but we don't know details because we only know that the big disadvantages of gambling are losing the money.
Losing money is not a disadvantage of gambling. It is just a Part of gambling where you can Win or lose both.
How if we know that gambling will eat our money but we still playing gambling after all?
For me, that is the disadvantages of gambling, but I don't know how about you. We knew about that, so we should stop gamble as fast as we can. If we decide to continue, then get ready to lose your money.

There are a lot of disadvantages of gambling as you rightly mentioned above but it depends on the societal perspective about gambling. In some society of which I have visited, it is seeing as a taboo for one to play gamble and if it is known to the public that gambling is what you do and earn money you will lose your public reputation.
Really?can you share which society was that?i never heard something like that because i know in some area gambling is totally prohibited by the government and it was consider as a illegal activities but what you’ve mentioned is reallu new to my knowledge

..gambling is fun..but make sure that you gamble the amount of money that you are afford to lose..yeah you're right..all of this disadvantages will come to you if you let it happen..your wealth,friends,families will gone and worst of it there is a possibility that you will suffer from a great depression..but this will not go through if you have control in yourself..just use gamble for fun and have a mindset that if you gamble too much,,you will everything you have..
You forgot to mention that he can also lose his life in gambling,and about using this for fun?everyone of us wanted this to do,but its hard lol

Every coin has two sides and there might be both advantages and disadvantages of gambling. This multi billion dollar industry has been very hard at some people depriving them of their money completely. The risk is high and probability and LUCK speaks about who wins and looses so I think one should find other adventures to make money and not really rely on gambling. Gamble only when you enjoy it and are ready to loose some dollars.

The one that OP mention is true and gambling is one the most addictive activity, if you can't control yourself in gambling then it will destroy yourself and your life, it can destroy your mental and affected your social life
This cannot be disadvantage of gambling but a pure consequences of gambling in negative side. When we gamble responsibly we can simply overcome this negative consequences. But, practically gambling will never allow us to gamble with consciousness. Because, the trills of gambling will take us into the state of excitements where no one is able to realize themselves too.

In some parts of the world, gambling is not considered a healthy activity. and those who play gambling are not considered good persons. Although this varies from person to person opinion.

I think the biggest disadvantage is thinking how much you're going to win, that's where the frustrations begin when you can not reach the goal, which could be amended to think, how much are you willing to lose? It would be the option that would transform a disadvantage into an advantage.
You're right because the ego of how much ones will win was one of the thing that lead majority of gamblers depression but gambling with the amount ones cant afford to loose as Carrel said and playing to recover losses was what keep the addiction going simultaneously.

I don't agree with this. I know these since I am addicted to gambling in the past. After a game, I would regret that I did not bet on this side, not bet on the other side, something like that but if I will be gambling again, I never thought of my losses as my aim at that point is to win. I don't really stick to the luck-based games as we all know that it would be really hard to win. I usually bet on cockfighting at that time and also some small sports betting as I am new to that kind of gambling then.

Some people will still try their luck and want to explore if by chance they can win big. But if people learn from this threads they would know how hard it is to earn from gambling and what all are the various disadvantages associated while gambling for money.
I doubt it that those gamblers that are on that point of having that bad luck will learn from these threads that we are discussing. The last part that gambling can destroy everyone individually is a fact. From those shared experiences, from what I've witnessed through my friends and relatives that are engaged into gambling before. They really shared the same bad fate in gambling but after realization, they were all doing well now and have learned from that mistake.

This person started a thread about benefits of gambling:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/benefits-from-gambling-2047546

btw in English you say "benefits from of gambling", not from.

I would like to open a thread about the opposite.
Here are some disadvantages that come to my mind when gambling is involved, I did not copy-paste any text from anywhere, this is purely my own thoughts about it:

1) Gambling brings you loneliness, or makes you feel alone or want to be alone, it can isolate you from society or from other important events in your life.
2) It can suck your energy or your happiness, it can get inside your head and won't leave you alone until you gamble again.
3) Not to mention it can can destroy you financially, you can lose a lot of money in a matter of seconds/minutes/hours/days. Some stories show how people lost over millions of dollars in a matter of hours or days.
4) Gambling can also destroy you individually, not only financially, you can lose your family, your job, your friends or relatives.

All in all gambling is a losing proposition, these drawbacks weigh much more than any possible benefits you can ever come up with when it comes to gambling.


It seems that those disadvantages you have discussed are just more likely to happen on those people or individual who are just up into aiming or have the main reason for playing gambling is just to earn money or profit from it in which many people are getting through it. Those can be the reasons why people tend to be addicted into playing gambling because of the disadvantages you have discussed. Well, not all gamblers do experience something like that if you are really into playing just to seek for an activity which is fun and entertaining. Just like what I did in playing into an online casino I am currently into wherein I just aim to have fun playing with the variety of games they have to offer so I play even with low bets because winning the game is not my concern since I am just seeking for fun activity, winning it will just be a bonus and a good thing for me because it just mean that I can play even for a one more round but with proper moderation concerning self-control plus I can enjoy their great welcome bonus just for doing my first deposit.

If gambling is being carried irresponsibly than there are huge chances to undergo the four major disadvantages you mentioned. Gambling not only affects us financially but also it affects our mental health which can be fatel. A lot of gamblers who are deeply enrolled into gambling have their normal daily routine set accordingly. They start their day with gambling and end it with the same. I've personally seen a lot of gamblers who lost almost everything but yet weren't out of gambling. Can we call this a addiction?

There's no harm in exploring more to win in gambling as long as you are in control, because that will make you responsible and you won't gamble beyond your limit. It's being responsible in gamble, it's not something we can win easily, so we should learn to be realistic so we will know how to manage ourselves the risk of losing, and we can also make the right decision when we are winning.

The major disadvantage of gambling is loses.  The odd is always against the gambler and it is very difficult to win in gambling.  You should expect to lose most of your investments if you have decided to go into gambling.
so, why are you still promoting gambling site? your statement is contradictory with your signature. lol
I did not really know what you meant but I have expressed my view about gambling and the sites I am promoting is not only doing gambling but other ways of investments.

When someone care about their money and don't want to lose it at any situation then they never should try to gamble because here they have probbility of losing is high.
Everyone has the probability to lose whether high or low amount.

This is just a normal thing in gambling, you gamble and you lose. A lot of disadvantages are being thrown and believed to it which everyone already knew about it. But for us who actually gamble, we understand on how they look at gambling.

winning and losing is common in world of gambling, and I dont know why people are crying after loosing their money in gambling and some says that the winning chance when playing in cryptogambling are very low. Maybe its time that people must know that when putting money in gambling expect that 50% chance ( depends on how they gonna put the multiplier usually) that their money will grow or lose.
It's better to say that expect higher chance of losing so they won't cry after losing.

That's one of the disadvantage in gambling that everyone already knew. And when they gamble, they have been too positive with their bets and when they lose, they are looking for something to blame for that.
As crypto currency trading is not meant for every one so is gambling either and anyone who's not ready to be responsible for his mistakes is definitely not worth to play gambling. Aside that, people who are also worth if gambling also need to know the kind of game which is good for him in other to cut his lost short and have better chance of winning.

That's is true and real experience from the people can't control themself because of addiction, but most of the people gambling treat as paly for fun are not affected for the disadvantage benefits. They paly gambling to get get hapines i am not an expert in gambling but i play gambling moderate and sometimes i got real benefits came from gambling if i got win, the key to avoid losing all disadvantage in gambling is set greed control.
