What you are asking is a 50 50 chances of whether they take your point and only enjoy the gambling and dont think of money making and if someone lost too much in enjoyment then automatically he will start to bet for recovering that loss and in that way it will lead him to get addicted to gambling and which can be very disastrous to him as he will almost broke to nill in his life due to it. So it is always not right to lead anyone to play gambling and only enjoy because its a human nature that first they start in fun but after that fun becomes real. So it is much better that you just tell them to ignore gambling and lead a simple life.

I think it is neither a good or a bad idea when in convincing someone towards gambling, if he/she is open-minded up to it, then I don't think there is a bad thing there, but if you are convincing someone who's negative with gambling, then that's a bad idea.

I can consider it as a good idea because you do not know that in future that person can become so much addictive that would lose out his savings/house spoil the relationship as would need money to borrow to play games once the amount is lost by him etc. So you are saving them from all this.


Convincing gamblers to enjoy the game means we want to change their mindset in regards to gambling. Yes, it can be useful if the person we convince is able to absorb what we expect. That can at least help them realize that gambling is not a place to make money.

Nothing wrong with convincing people to enjoy gambling and actually its a good idea to promote gambling by telling them the positive and the negative side of gambling rather than showing them the side of gambling where all it can do is multiply your money in times when you need money. I was in that situation before, I have a few hundred dollars with me and I need a quick way to multiply my money because I need to pay someone, gambling is the first thing that came into my mind but I ended up empty handed.
Yeah you right. only marketing from gambling sites that say that gambling can make you rich and multiply your money.
in fact there is a huge risk behind it. You do the right thing if you tell someone else to play gambling correctly. which is to have fun
Not only that gambling sites say that they can make you rich, but they say that gambling can make you rich while having fun doing barely minimum efforts. Who doesn't want that? Everyone wants that. But the thing is, becoming rich in an instant is already too good to be true, let alone having fun doing it, so is make money while doing barely minimum efforts. So a combination of the three is just out of this world. True that there are people that were able to do it, but those people risked so much money, invested so much time, and the hard part (which most aren't able to achieve), they got EXTREMELY lucky.

So the promise that it's alright to enjoy gambling and have fun with it is nothing but a myth. You can't have fun in gambling unless you are on a winning streak or winning in general. But just how often does that happen? How FUN is it to watch your bankroll deplete right in front of your eyes knowing damn well that you could have used the money for better things that can totally make you feel great such as helping the less fortunate people?

Nowadays, people gamble only to gain profit. With that said, if you want to convince someone that gambling is a sort of amusement, then you need to make a great effort. Rarely, people consider gambling to be fun and profitable at the same time. For me, gambling is to have fun and to gain profit. Meanwhile, I see lots of people complain about how they lose their money and how they got addicted. Money is what makes them addictive to gambling and the natural greed they have from the beginning.

I don't say it is wrong but it is unappropriate thing to do because we knows that the gambling is form of addiction most of the people who entered here were addicted so if you know all about these things then don't force someone to do gambling is not a good idea.But if someone already being a gambler he wants to do find better place to bets then we can suggest them to play on crypto gambling sites.

I know that in some cultures your wife is chosen for you by your family, but where I live we can freely choose the woman we will spend our life with. Normally, this woman understands you better than your friends or other relatives, and it is much better to spend your free time with her than with others. Maybe it's a question of preferences and we will never agree on anything here, but please understand that not all the people live in the same conditions.

Regarding your notion that gambling is very expensive and risky I disagree as well. It depends on how you do it and what do you expect from it. Gambling together with your wife can be fun. I'm talking from my personal experience. Smiley
I am glad to hear that you have fun time gambling with your wife and are enjoying your life my friend but if we talk on general basis or gambling itself, I don’t think that your wife or anyone can change the destructive nature of this game. It is a random luck based activity. However, if your motive is to crack some good time and build few memories, it can be an entertainment indeed.

That's right, and regarding its supposed "destructive nature", that only depends on how you use it. Sunbathing can be destructive too, but, as we know, many people enjoy it. As with excessive sunbathing you can get a sunburn, your life can be ruined with excessive gambling, but if you do it moderately you can enjoy it, and there's nothing wrong with suggesting to others something which makes you personally happier.

I had a female employee who somehow got addicted to lose weight. She believed she could be more beautiful if she was able to lose more weight and she did. You can always lose more weight in the end Wink why not lose all and be the most beautiful right? Eventually she ended up in a mental hospital.

Gamling is just like that. You gotta be retarded to get addicted to it.

People are warning other people for the potential dangers. I see nothing wrong with that.
Yes, people should do that if there is any danger but first of all it depends on a person who is warned by someone.

I actually understand what you are saying but you should remember that gambling as an addiction is not the norm, so you shouldn't feel bad in recommending it to other people. It's almost like drinking. I have no problem in inviting friends to grab a drink from time to time because I know they are not alcoholics. It would be wrong if you invited someone to gamble if you knew they had a problem with it, otherwise you should assume they are normal and they would handle it in a healthy way just like you do.

By the way, talking about inviting someone to gamble, I wold like to invite everyone that enjoys sports betting into our Betting Competition sponsored by BetKing.io.

We have over $2000 in prizes, and it's free to enter.
You just need to make bets like you normally would.
It's an amazing added value to your bets.

That's a complete foolish thing to do when you are in need of money. I agree that gambling allows you to multiply your money in short time but, think of the other side. It can bust your money in no time. So, if you are in need of money, it is not advisable to put money in hope of multiplying it. Most of the time it would go wrong.

Whether gambling or any investment on cryptocurrencies platform should be discussed by the  close people but we should not convince the any people for it.
When you looking to make the investment on the gambling please checkout the good website and if you do not have idea to invest then don't get convinced by anyone.

Exactly when you have already some good source of earning and learning about respectable sources then why to get involved in this detrimental source. Why to get in somewhere where everyone is trying to assault you. They try to get money from you and give you nothing. You know there is loss for you but still you don’t understand and you are going on and on.
We can't just force people to do what we want for them. Some people are just hard headed though how we've been worrying about them and giving them enough reminders on what they should do, they never stop on what they believe.

And this is very applicable in gambling, they enjoy, they earn somehow but at the end of it when they lost control to themselves that's the start of the misery where we can see them bad day.

We remind them, okay that's good but if they never listened to us and they push through their limits we just have to part way with them and don't convince them with anything again.

I always have a mindset that gambling is fun and entertaining, I used to played for profit but now I played for entertained myself, I like to share my point of view about gambling, but I afraid when I introduce gambling to someone who cant control himself or herself then it can become a problem, and I can become the one that make him/her become addicted

So in one my hand I'd like people to enjoy gambling but in one hand I afraid it can turned into disaster and I could the person that cause the person become addicted, so I kind of confused when someone come and asked me to teach or explained thing about gambling, should I teach them or I just ignore them? How can I teach or convince them that gambling is only for fun? Is it a wrong idea to teach or convince them to gamble for fun?
There is no reason for you to be blame just because someone got addicted into gambling just because you introduced gambling to that person. In the first place anyone of us are responsible for our own doings especially if we are an adult already and a normal person. If someone got addicted into it then it was her/his decisions to become one.

Yes, introducing someone to gambling is not a bad thing. If someone starts doing it in excess after knowing about it, then it is a big problem. But for some people, things can get uglier after some time. Personally, I will not introduce my close friends to this until they themselves so some interest.

I think convincing other people to play gambling is a wrong idea because he might get addicted with if he started to get greedy in his winnings, even you teach him for fun he might still get into greed.

I totally agree with you. The very nature of winning something is addictive and whilst its good to h ave fun while playing its also dangerous because you could associate that particular pleasure only through playing and nothing else which becomes problematic.
I will never try to convince my friends for playing gambling. I know that then it will be my own responsibility if they will lose  money from gambling. Therefore I will never in favor to convince my friends about gambling activities. I will always to convince people not play gambling for along.

You've provided another great example, which can help us to answer the OP's question. In this case the desire to lose more and more weight is very similar to a hunger for bigger and bigger profits in gambling. So, knowing that there's a possibility of it ending up badly, should we convince an overweight person to lose weight? Not necessarily. But if others do that, we definitely can't blame them. I wouldn't.

But if that person or individual do not have a great potential as a successful gambler but just a addicted gambler, I don't think I will be doing it.
You can't figure out if the person will become a successful gambler in the beginning. If you will encourage him and say such words that might push him to keep on trying up to the peak, he can end up broke.

I would rather encourage them to invest and risk their money on great investments including crypto currencies that is new or maybe an old crypto currency that has a possibility of having a good price in the future.
I'll tell and share my knowledge about investments but I won't encourage them to do risk their money. It's better to be safe rather than giving them some hopes that there's success in risking through words.
Exactly when you have already some good source of earning and learning about respectable sources then why to get involved in this detrimental source. Why to get in somewhere where everyone is trying to assault you. They try to get money from you and give you nothing. You know there is loss for you but still you don’t understand and you are going on and on.
