Not only gambling, each and everything has got advantages and disadvantages associated with it. With gambling too it isn't an exception, disadvantages of gambling can be overcome by the gambler if he plans good and act wisely. The best one can do is set the limitations to spend on gambling. Even in win and loss one need to limit himself from spending.

It looks like most of the user here believes that gambling is all about disadvantage, well i have to agree with them and to summary all their thoughts, gambling is base on how you greed you are. If you are too much greedy, then you will lose big but if you know how to be contented and to just have fun then gambling is good to you even if you are also losing.

In fact it depending on the gambler nature. Some people play gambling only for making money and such people mostly cannot control their emotions which make the situation worst for them.

Moreover, very little number of people the sense how to play gamboling, while majority of people loses money because they actually do not know the why to play gambling and prevent themselves from lost. That is why most of the people option about gambling is that it is risky to play gambling.

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.

Is this what you feel because you were a gambler?

I feel there are something which has no relevance to other people, the points you mentioned are general conclusions. Because on the occasion not all gamblers feel loneliness, losing happiness or even destroying someone's life. Many of them having fun in their life or even when they experience a lot of loss.

Are you asking me?

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.

I think this are symptoms of gambling addiction. A normal gambler could gamble few times in a week without having these problems. Some people tend to get addicted to stuff than other.
Gamblers need to take your post seriously though.

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.

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 .

In my opinion it is an excessive argument. I'm sure every gambler has his own limits in gambling, if every gambler has wise thinking then they won't make losses in gambling as an excuse to affect his life to be worse, gamblers only need time to be alone so that their emotions are stable and that doesn't mean gamblers isolate himself for a long time all the time and everywhere gamblers will have relatives beside him, that's what I see.

...
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.

I think that the features you describe fit exactly the same kind of addiction - alcoholism, drug addiction, sexoholism etc.
maybe actually in the case of gambling - the financial factor is the most powerful - you can lose everything in one evening (which in the case of other addictions would take several weeks or months) but at the very end we reach the same state ....

฿itcoin for all, All for ฿itcoin.

All the disadvantages we see in gambling are due to the fact that we don't it as a form of entertainment but as a way of earning hence when we make losses we end up with lots of problems such as addiction and stress.

If gambling is purely done for fun and entertainment... some of the challenges can be eliminated

No it's not, you can socialize with other people in gambling, talk about gambling, there's a lot of players in this world that's always in the casino. You can interact with them and make them as a gambling buddy. I don't think gambling brings loneliness, 'cause when you're betting to a game, there's an excitement and thrill because you're hoping to win it.

It's a true disadvantage, you can also insert here "addiction". The real disadvantage and the root of all is addiction, if you're addicted on gambling, it might ruined your life and everything so we must have a control when gambling.

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
4) Gambling can also destroy you individually, not only financially, you can lose your family, your job, your friends or relatives.

OP, I don't believe in your submission that gambling can make you lose your family, friends and relatives as you rightly mentioned above but on the other ones you mentioned are all okay but I don't see any relationship with gambling and losing of family, friends and relatives except if you can buttress further on this particular point.

What you would have actually highlighted would have been the major problems such as
- Depression and stress(very serious health problem in my opinion) some people have even committed suicide due to gambling
- Very addictive and hard to let go

I agree.There are really those gamblers who have not recover from addiction and so they do things unconsciously.Yes they may commit suicide especially if they cannot bear the pain or depression anymore.For me,all the disadvantages of gambling may not be possible if a gambler knows how to handle himself and has his own limits enough not be addicted with gambling.

Gambling addiction for many people turned the same like to you with video games. With time such kind of things move on the top places for us and such important things as family, work/study, obligations are becoming not so important. I also had a period of time when I played video games a loot, teen years, luckily I found other things which appeared more interesting to me and helped me break my soft kind of addiction. I like to gamble from time to time, but I can not came back to this for months when I really have no time or other priorities.

In contradict to most people here, I am not finding any disadvantage with my gambling. I gamble for money and for entertainment as well. But, I love what I am doing hence I believe there are less possibilities for me to list out any disadvantages I am facing with my gambling.

When something is profitable to you through your own gambling or by affiliate income or through bank-roll investments, I guess no one might be having any inconveniences with that. I know how to gamble regardless of whether I am trying in dicing or slots or lottery. I know my limits and I know when to quit for a day or for week. I enjoy my gambling along with my cryptos.

That is really great to hear. I believe every gambler here will be learning something from you but you're not sharing exactly what you are doing with your gambling. I mean how you are controlling yourself against your limits for gambling.

If you mind to share more information about how you are gambling and what are the practice your following to safeguard yourself against gambling addiction will be helpful for many people to overcome the disadvantages they are facing with gambling.
