There are a lot of disadvantages and little advantages to gambling. Gambling can impact your life, it can lower your standard of life is the miminum it can happen to you. The maximum is you risk to lose your family and be all alone , I have seen many people talking to themselves in the street and I know for many of them it is the consequence of gambling addiction.
I do agree with the point of having lot of disadvantages and little advantages but with due respect, not on the next statements. Those are just exaggeration; a gambler will only lose that much if he will be too hooked up in gambling to the point that he is literally losing properties just to play and to win. At this point, this is when stress and depression would come which give you the feeling of being lonesome. But this do not happen to ALL gamblers. The only disadvantage of gambling in my opinion is the lack of control with the outcome to be in favor for the gamblers.
Why do you think gamblers do still continue playing despite of the risk of losing ?

Because gamblers want to win the game although they know about the risk, they still playing and risk more money and they believe that in one day, they can be the winner. Besides that, there is a gambler who could still chase the money even if they used more money because the prizes are tempting them to continue the game. It is a bad example for us, and we should know how to avoid this, so we don't have to lose more money.

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.
What you mean by loss in gambling ? Gambling is not an investment opportunity then why you are bothering about losses as a disadvantage of gambling ? I mean loss is the term of investments related things and definitely not being covered by entertainment industry. Gambling must be an entertainment industry and you must pay some fee to get entertained yourself.

Whenever we are finding ourselves stressful, we must need to relax ourselves and for this reason alone we are having an industry in the name of gambling and definitely not to find any easy nor quick money making opportunities. Still you must understand that there are possibilities you can make money from gambling but it is just a bonus for another round of gambling and definitely not to take home.

Now, please explain me loss is the disadvantage of gambling or is it just part of gambling ?

It could be because of the enjoyment that they are having whenever they are gambling. Or maybe, it could be because of their winnings, especially if they are lucky enough. The bottomline is that, we do all have our own reason to continue doing something even if there are disadvantages of it.

There are many disadvantages for us from gambling and because we have realized it, we should be more careful in carrying out this action. Do not let emotions bring us to a situation that is difficult for us to face later. It will depend on each person how to handle this thing so he/she won't get bad situation at the end.

If people does continue to gamble just for fun and to enjoy them self this will help them to stay away from the addiction and will help them also from losing lot of money if they continue gambling just for making money from it.

Going to casinos give the chances to meet lot of new faces so this can be an opportunity to make lot of friends for us.But gambling with our money is not going to help in making new friends.

Most people you would meet in the casino would be "friends" that would ask you for loans etc.

Reminds me of the dice website, I tried it for 5 minutes and got so many requests from people for loans and other shady stuff.

Not talking about online gambling sites,imagine you are going to a casino where you can meet new people which can become friendly with you by your talk and way of looking but we definitely don't have to ask them for loans they will consider as scammers.

The people we met may have been related to our job or business so we have the opportunities to hang out together.
Well, there are disadvantages and the major disadvantage in gambling is the uncertainty in the future of your money you put it. This uncertainty is the reason why many people loose nerves along with values. But, again gambling is a kind of activity that brings you in contact with the rich guys who have the potential to do things and you could socialize with them which can lead to possible future deals.

Lol not all gamblings get you close to "the rich guys". There are  those that are mostly played by regular people. There are some you can find  wealthy gamblers and regular gamblers alike.

The only time I was really addicted to anything was video games.  It used to be a really bad habit and took a great toll on my health as I barely slept. Luckily I haven't had the same affliction with gambling and I'm able to do it in moderation without any problems.
When I was younger I was also addicted with video games, well it's normal to gamers like us but there is no risk involve in terms of finances as during my time, we don't put a bet in games, it's just the new generation today loves to gamble in anything.  Addiction can really cause negative things into our life, though we are not in risk financially but your experience tells addiction can lead to damaging your health.

you guys werent alone as i myself is also addicted to playing video games but i dont inherit that behavior in gambling maybe because gambling cost a real money and i dont have a money at all times but let say i do have a money i think i will also become an addicted gambler .  thats the only disadvantage of gambling it involves a real cash .

serious addiction can lead to health problems and that can also lead to financial expenses because you need money to medicate your self  .

Gambling is a game of real money. If there is no real money involved, only children will play this, just as kids play video games which has no money involved.
Also with no real money, no one can get rich with gambling and it will just be a time waster for adults.


Disadvantages of gambling are huge and can't list at once. People lose huge money, waste time, energy and bevome desperate at one point. Most people avoid gambler and as a result he becomes alone too.

Yes, these are all disadvantages of gambling but if you can only win in gambling at some point and gain quick money, then all your loses are recovered and gambling remains no more disadvantage for you.

-anip- This addiction can cause ill health to a gambler and damage family financial life which can lead to suicide.
Not only financial but psychological trauma can and will harm entire family of the person in question.
This in my opinion is the biggest disadvantage of gambling addiction, possibility to negatively influence lives of family members.
Just like any other mental disorders or illnesses, gambling may result in escalation of violence among families, gradual degradation of emotional attachment and slow, painful process of tumbling down the self hatred spiral. In its most advanced stage, homicidal and suicidal tendency have all the circumstances to emerge, as compulsive gambling physically alters brains[study].

Gambling is full of risk which is detrimental to life. Gotten addicted in gambling is the most and worst disadvantage of gambling because when addicted to gambling it takes an individual to come out of it. This addiction can cause ill health to a gambler and damage family financial life which can lead to suicide.
Gambling addiction never give beneficial to us, instead it will only ruin our reputation and also our own life. It sometimes to happen that some individuals will commit any illegalities/criminal events just to stay in gambling.  So before it happens(addiction) we should have to think carefully and realize the situation  we commit.

I think another advantage of gambling online as compared to gambling in actual casinos is that you'd spend less time when you gamble online. Since you're home, you'd eventually get tired, or your eyes will probably get strained, or your back will get sore from sitting in front of your computer the whole day. Whereas actual casinos are actually designed for you to get comfortable and to spend the maximum possible amount of time for a human to gamble. You are given free drinks, comfortable seats and even free hotel rooms sometimes so you won't have to go home to rest. Gamblers sometimes even spend weeks in casinos because of this kind of environment.
Both online and actual casinos have their own advantage and disadvantages. Some people may suite online gambling while it is good for other people to play gambling in live casino. I personally use both options. Where online gambling is good for those people who do not have the facilities of physical casinos in their areas, or which are too much far away from their houses. While those people who have easy access to casinos, they should visit and enjoy gambling there.

The biggest disadvantage that can happen is that you feel bad when you lose, because it can affect the psychological self-esteem of the person, since this has a direct impact on our daily life. In fact, many people do not control it and can feel very depressed, for me this is the biggest disadvantage of the game, when it is lost.
THIs will be depend on what kind of person are we,because before we gamble we must learn that its a win or lose situation and we can more even lossing than winning

This is the problem for many of us whos engaging in gambling but dont evn hd idea about the negative effect,most of us wanted to gain easier but not to lose and this is what the effect on your point

I don't know if you're aware of this news two years ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Resorts_World_Manila_attack

I guess this is one of the worst effect of gambling to a person.

Anyways, my call is that you really need to be in control of yourself once you enter this gambling world, otherwise you will really experience those things you mentioned. So if you're responsible enough and can emotionally control your betting then those disadvantages won't surface, in my opinion.

Gambling is about randomness.
When you put randomness in someone's life the reaction will never be clear.

In another words, what you describe might apply to some people but even these people are in a risk of losing the plot, there are no guarantees.


And I'm sure it have been applicable for those who are really out of control because of this so called randomness that you're saying.

That's why it's very dangerous and as I have said, you need to be in control of this so called randomness. The reaction might not be clear, if you have that mindset to fight it off and learn to control it, your life will not be a mess because of gambling.

The most and worst disadvantage of gambling is, after huge winning among fellow gambler in casino, those set who are not happy with your winnings may plot or plot to kill such successful gambler just to recover the gains from him/her. The chance of getten been killed are there.
If you are afraid on that possibility, you can always choose to gamble online and stay anonymous.
There's a lot of risk when you are holding money, and that does not happen only in gambling.
I heard news before about a gambler being robbed after winning a big amount in the casino, and we have a thread about that here. Gambler was being robbed

Those are the risks and therefore you need to control that, if you know it's possible to be in that situation in the long run, then
you have to make ways to prevent it from happening, things like that should not happen to us as gambles, we don't deserved that, we are here
for the entertainment and that is completely an opposite result.

We have to be careful and manage the risk effectively, gambling is fun but it's too risky and the blame should be on us if in case we failed controlling ourselves.
