All the disadvantages you mentioned will only happen only if the intention of gambler is to make money so no one can't be blamed...

It's "no one CAN be blamed" (not can't).

And anyone who gambles is subject to become an addict, there are countless stories about people who just tried to gamble with $5 and ended up losing their life savings and more than that (e.g. Justyn Larcombe).

You treat these disadvantages as if they are symptoms where the patient needs to be blamed for - whilst the gambling industry washes its hands clean off this - tell me something, Thanasis, are you part of the gambling industry? Do you run a gambling website?

I don't mind people discussing this topic but stating unscrupulous statements and making them seem like facts is despicable.

Sorry for the typo.

Actually I am not a hater of gambling but the real fact is people making it as a bad thing by doing it in a wrong way so I just mentioned some thoughts from mind,nothing to offend anyone.

Privacy is always important

There are some other disadvantage that much worst than the list above.

I think the other one is if you lose a big amount it becomes frustrated and you will never forget it keeps repeating your mind that you lose a big amount until you sell some gadgets or things just to have money to gamble again. If you didn't recover or win on the game everything can be much worst until everything you have are gone.

That is why just gamble that you can afford to lose and gambling is made for fun not for wasting your time for nothing if you treat gambling as a place where you can make easy money then you are wasting your time gamble your money in gambling casino.

All that you've written are true, I also experience having some financial problem because of gambling.
It reached into the level that I have to borrow money from a lender and this is hidden to my wife, it could really destroy our lives if we will
not control ourselves, we have to kill that urges to gamble to avenge our loses because when we are too aggressive
this will make us more stupid. Gambling is a game where you need to use your mind effectively and set aside the emotions.

There are advantages and disadvantages in pretty much everything that people do for entertainment.

Gambling is not the only form of entertainment which can have disadvantages.

Take racing cars for example. Many people do it as a hobby which is similiar to gambling and there can be a crash and cause death.

Take sports like Hockey for another example. Many people do it also as a hobby which is similiar to gambling and it could lead to a serious injury.

Gambling just has a bad rap because many lost their money in regards to it and they try to label it as evil however there are other forms of entertainment which are just as bad and risky.

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.

All the disadvantages you mentioned will only happen only if the intention of gambler is to make money so no one can't be blamed if we are doing something wrong and most of them even knows what will happen if they continue gambling but still they were playing.

More disadvantages are:
- Hard to stop gambling habit once they were addicted.
- Chances of losing their money on scam gambling sites.
- they may get robbed if they have won huge amount of money in real casino from insider.

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.
