Gambling is a dangerous addiction and one getting in the gambling industry faces a tough time in managing his gambling life and the financial life. People in States seems to be more commonly addicted to this gambling life and lose a hefty sum of money each year due to the poor strategies used by them in Gambling.

Some lose higher than expected and incur debts which would affect their personal life and more commonly their mental health. Gamblers are subjected to increased alcoholic addiction if they lose more than what they have gambled. Also they are subjected to intense pressure which might lead to unemployment.

Gamblers face a tough situation in their family too. If they lose money, they are subjected to pressure which gets transferred to others in god family. Gamblers due to their increased addiction will borrow loans and debts from friends and banks and would eventually lose them leading them to further problems in the society. Unless you are lucky enough to get back what you gambled you would more probably lose all the money.

Online Gambling has further disadvantages when compared to RL gambling. You would be confined within the virtual world and would have no contact with real players apart from the inbuilt chat. Casino downtimes are regularly being a frustration among online gamblers which would be difficult during peak seasons. On top of that, we need to trust the online websites for the withdrawal of our funds. Nowadays online gambling is receiving harsh criticisms due to the ongoing scams taking place all over the market.

The disadvantage will not be a big problem for gambling because something will definitely be a problem in any field so the disadvantage will not be affect the money making or anything because if only advantage are there in any field there is no risk and attraction will happened on that field so gambling field will need more popularity so it will definitely be there

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.

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.

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.

there are some rest advantage and disadvantage are also equally being there in most of the field so I definitely see gambling was a good form of money making so disadvantage will not give any difficulties for me to do gambling.

There's a lot of disadvantage of gambling but I will focus on online gambling since we're on the cryptocurrency industry and most of the gamblings here are online gambling. Below are just some of the disadvantages I've known and this is all according to my observation, perception and experiences.

1. Everyone can play Gambling games no matter what's your age, since it's online you really don't know if the player is 18+ and the minimum verification are just name or confirmation on email which can 18yrs old and below can do. As long as they have money they can play gambling games.

2. Greediness. We all know that once we experience winning we still want to win more and when we start losing we wanted to recover our loses so we are going to invest again until we lose all our money and realize the money we've wasted from playing gambling games.

3. Addiction. Playing a lot from it gives you an addiction in where you can't control yourself from playing without considering anything like where you're going to get your playing money or what will happen to you when you lose in playing gambling games.

So far here are the disadvantages I know from playing gambling games.

I'm really sorry but that's just BS.
How gambling can bring you lots of friends?

You can go with your friends to the casino but in the end of the day when you gamble you risk your own money and not your friends'.

Gambling is isolating people, it's not connecting people, if you believe otherwise then I am not sure what type of "friends" are you referring to?

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.

What op has listed are truth and gambling can really make us to suffer from those things.  I think if you lose too much in gambling one can develop bp and depression.  Gambling has destroyed many gamblers happiness and if you cannot gamble just for fund there is no need of going into it.

I agree. Some people actually gamble because they're lonely. Though of course we all know that it's not the solution. What can seem to be a solution may be a quicksand that'll sink the lonely person into more problems. It's a doubled edged blade.

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

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.

Actually gambling meant to be other way,it can bring us lot of friends into our life so make our lonliness to forget so you should reconsider about this and surely you can get overcome this disadvantage.

From all of the given disadvantages this is what I believe is indeed because i remember when i was still engaging alot in gambling this is what i felt,i was aloof from others and i always skip friendly bonding just because of my gambling habits and until it turns all my closest friend leaves me because of my new behavior and attitude

Thats why now since I have completely erased my fast life I realize one thing,that friends is still our defense whenewe got in troubles

Its so easy to state all the negative things about gambling because i believe that it is negative in nature. If you let lose yourself to it and become addict, you will suffer from getting broke up to being alone without your family who is also tired from your doings. So until its early, just play moderately and control yourself.

Despite of this disavantages, gambling makes other people more worthy. Those who are working on the casinos are living well because of the salaries they get, and that comes from the gamblers. So if the gamblers are suffering from big losses, someone is enjoying that money. So many disadvantages in gambling, so always be careful.

Well said.
I gave you 2 Merits for this.

Thats only what you think because you maybe experience to loose all the time and you are not playing the right way or the wiser way  but dont worry because you arent alone many people do also think the same way as you  .

All of you guys were wrong . gambling isnt built to make your life miserable . gambling isnt evil  . the gambler is the only one that make negative thoughts on gambling .

I think many gamblers know their chances on becoming one of the few people. Their chance is also few but then many still tries, who wouldn't want it, it's all worth it taking the chance and risk if you win big. One of disadvantage and probably biggest disadvantage is the winning percentage, it's very low.

I feel gambling is all about disadvantages.None can make profit in gambling or they lost profit anyhow.Gambling can make your life hell because you could be empty hand for gambling.More bad effect of gambling is you became frustrated and your life become valueless.
