Topic: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? - page 20. (Read 18859 times)

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 think that it is not a good idea to convince people about to play gambling, because gambling is one of the most risky way of making money, and if they will lose their money in gambling then will surely blame you for their lost.

The thing about this world is that we think that gambling is bad. There's that general idea but that doesn't affect us as much as what we see around us. When see our parents gambling and we are doing just fine in life, we would think that "gambling isn't that bad, why do people say it is?" But if our parents are gambling while we starve, we're thinking that "gambling is bad and I will never become like my parents."
And what does maturity and being able to take responsibility do to you? How does it help you at all? It helps you accept your losses and that it was your fault all along but that doesn't really take out your losses and you still have the same chance of getting addicted to gambling like any other person.
The thing with gamblers is that they think they have the potential to become the next *insert gambler's name*. Gambling gives us that illusion. We mimic other people's gambling habits because we think that's what made them rich and if it's even remotely working, then we become happy and get the illusion again.

Everyone has the potential to become a professional gambler but that doesn't mean that everyone will make it. If 99% of the gamblers didn't become rich in gambling, what made you think that you belong to that 1%? The potential to become a professional gambler comes with the potential of you ruining your life because of gambling addiction, is it really worth the risk? You can do something else with your life. You can gamble in a different way.

but always remind him that playing gambling game can attract him to become addicting in gambling and he should know about this so he can prevent to become the addicted person in gambling. besides that, you must tell him that he needs to make a limit on the money that he wants to use so he can avoid getting a big loss of the money. this is hard especially if he always attract to the game and want to play more the game and he can become the addicting person.

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'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.

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.

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.

If you were raised in an environment which told you gambling is bad, your mindset will never change, and once you’ve tried it, you’ll feel the guilt. However if you weren’t raised in that environment, you’ll do just fine. Addiction is when you keep doing it but hiding it from other people, plus denying it. The more you do that, the more you’ll feel the need to play. Also, if the stakes are high and you keep winning, there’s an absolute chance you’ll get addicted. To avoid, one must practice the art of SELF CONTROL.

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.

I think that teaching people to enjoy gambling responsibly is the main priority. You will never convince people to avoid gambling entirely, it's part of human nature. As long as they can reliably control their impulses and not put themselves in financial trouble, then there's no issue with gambling, it's a sport after all. Just don't go ruining your life whilst playing!

If you think that person has a great potential as gambler and can profit with it, just do it.
He will probabily not mind in at least trying.

Tell me first do you know the risk on gambling platform or not. It have the risk factor openly if you override and make the money or okay loose only you will be invest on that concern gambling platform right. In that aspects you should not say you it is a wrong idea at anytime.

I am looking to invest on the gambling with the own wish on betting sites like nitrogen and sportsbet.
Apart from this whatever loose I see it is completely happening because of own fault in picking up the odds.

First it's not a wrong idea if someone plays gambling to enjoy and have fun on condition that he uses the fund allocation according to they can afford to lose. you right, because in gambling the chances of profit will be smaller than the possibility of losing because everything depends on luck. the point is not to make gambling your work or income, it's a wrong idea

I agree , A true gambler knows the advantages and disadvantages of playing gambling. People who play gambling should know how to control them selves from temper of playing gambling even they know that if they lose they will also lose too much asset of him. I experience a lot difficulty on playing gambling and I got to the point I almost lose all my assets and become broke for a while. Being broke make me realize of such things.

I would not say that it is wrong but i think that it is risky. we can convince only those people who you know are mature and they can understand that if they will take any decision it will be their own responsibility, and the second is that we should only give them suggestion  and not to take their responsibility of losing their money.

yes it wrong because we all know that gambling is evil . we can loose more than what we expect . how much more if you encourage other people to join you ?  That will only lead to more losses and it could also lead to some seriuos troubles like blaming or worst end of relationship.

Not unless you gamble only for fun , without real money involved .  then that is i think more acceptable .

Yes, honestly I will not spread out the problems I am facing but I will stop people from suffering. A new gambler is definitely not liable for finding advantages nor disadvantages of gambling when entering, we the introducers must be responsible for that. Instead of letting them know gamble, it would be better to induce them to suicide, yes both has no big differences.

But I believe convincing people to gamble is definitely bad, trying to tell people "if you deposit something you profit for sure" or " this strategy wins all the time" and all that is just pure scam and worst type of people. However convincing people "enjoying gambling" is different story. If you teach people that gambling is just a game and they will eventually lose their money and they should just focus on entertainment value and not winning money as in "enjoying" gambling than you are doing something right.

Hence, it depends on how you convince them to enjoy gambling is it "sure thing to win" or is it "just have fun" , if you do the second one, you are doing something correct, if you are doing the first one, you are doing something wrong.

If someone is a gambler then he understands the pros and cons of this game very well.Actually there are no such advantages so it is all about disadvantages. People lose time and money which are the two most important assets of a human life other than knowledge. A gambler should at least stop others from getting into the same shoe as he is.

We are adults and if the person doesn't want something, you can't change his/her mind and you can't convince them.

Fun, but at what cost? The more you bet, the more fun you're going to have. Let's say that you're betting with 0.01$ per round and you won a 100x bet. That required tons of luck and now you have 1$ from it. Was that fun at all? That's no fun at all since you can easily take out a dollar from your pocket. But, if you bet 100$ and you won a 100x bet, you're going to have 10k$. Now, we're talking, right? Tons of money for risking an amount of money tremendously smaller than the winning amount.

The thing with people, they like to imagine that this type of thing happening to them and that gives them hope. Hope gives them motivation and motivation makes them bet nonstop. And of course motivation eventually wears off that's why the only thing gambling sites have to do is refresh it. That's why they put charts/boards of people winning high. You see someone just made 1BTC and you go "I can be that guy!!" so you start betting again after months of losing money from gambling.

Convincing people to enjoy gambling isn't wrong , convincing people to start gambling because they'll enjoy it is wrong .
One is just giving advice to someone who is already invested in gambling and is already on track, that person could be already addicted or just playing it for fun and probably wasting a lot of money .
Another is getting someone into an activity that can ruin his life and turn it into a living hell .
But generally , someone who is not enjoying gambling is an addict that should get help because he will eventually be ruined emotionally and can have his life torn up so convincing him to quit it is much better than convincing him to enjoy it .
People don't continue doing something that they don't enjoy, and if they don't enjoy it than no one should talk them into enjoying it ..
