It really depends on the people who you convince with. If the they are open minded and willing to give it a try, well lucky for you. If not, be ready for a ton of words that might hurt your feelings. Gambling is still thought to be a bad habit in terms of hobbies. In this type of world we live in, we cannot easily change the minds of the people around us. Just because it is good for you doesn't mean that it is good for the others. But, you convince people in a good way, not harming them or 'stepping them on their ego', basically people will have an idea that there is still good in gambling. So be really careful when you are asking out people to join you.
Gambling is for fun dont make its serious for you not make more looses.Play only when your bored and want for having fun.Live with or without gamblinv to make not being addicted on it.
The reason for addiction is due to making money or want it to become a source of income from gambling creates all the problem and thus it is very wrong as youngsters who cannot control their emotions or do not have disciple will get trapped and will lose their money easily.
I would definitely not "convince" anyone to gamble. Gambling advertisements for betting sites is already everywhere during sport broadcasts, so mentioning really good sites that you have personal experience with to people who are looking for this information should be okay. Most gambling sites have some sort of declaimer that gambling is for fun and your should be prepared to loose, and links to gambling help sites. So if you introduce or convince someone to gamble this information must be shared I think, along with local gambling help links/organizations.
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?
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.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?

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.
The thing is that people are different, what is good for some is bad for others. You are right in theory. Indeed, it is better to go hiking with your family instead of gambling online. But in reality, some people don't have a family, others live in such places that hiking is not an option. And for some people hiking with their family would be more stressful experience than their regular job from which they supposedly should be relaxing.
I get that and sometimes you just don't want to go home because work has become the new "home" to you and your house is just a place where you're constantly being pressured and annoyed by the people you are supposed to love. I guess if you do have that, you should go out with friends instead which you can filter. We were born with certain family members and you can never change that fact for the rest of your life. Friends, on the other hand, you can choose who you want to befriend. Choose someone that destresses you or helps you relax more.That is not so easy to accomplish. Normally, if you can't find common ground with your family, I mean with your wife and kids, because those people are supposed to be the closest to you, you will hardly find common ground with your friends either. But if you are talking about relationships with your parents then I agree with you, only I propose to find a wife/husband rather than friends. Try to be friends with your wife, convince her to enjoy gambling (like I did), and have fun together.
Convincing your wife to enjoy gambling isn't a wrong idea imo. As long as you know the limits of course. I really would rather find a new hobby or adopt to my wife's hobby instead of dragging her into gambling which we know is very expensive and risky. I can't afford to have her addicted in gambling since we share common funds and her losses would be my losses too.
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.
It's hard to not get addicted on gambling. When you convince a person that new on gambling and he won the first 1-2 bets, he will think "wow it's easy to earn money here" then he will bet again and when he lose, he will bet more and more.
That is the reason why we should not really convince other people saying that it is a good thing to do since gambling can not only give you a money problem but also a mental disorder.
Most of the gambling addicts I know just try gambling for the first time trying out their luck and did not know that they are addicted to gambling. Who would not want to earn easily just by betting your money though it do not happen.
Regarding convincing people to gamble there are several things which you definitely shouldn't do:
1. Saying that there is a place(a site) where with a certain amount of deposit your profit is guaranteed;
2. Boosting a "winning strategy" which can make one rich in no time;
3. Promoting an automated betting bot which will be making money for you 24/7;
4. Saying that there are certain spells/amulets which can help you win in gambling. Or saying that if you play in a particular day of the year/of the month or day part, or betting on a certain number, you have more chances to win, and all the other superstitious bullsh*t.
Apart from that, if you say to someone that gambling is fun worth trying, but at the same time you warn the person that he/she shouldn't risk money they can't afford to lose because the probability to lose is a bit higher than to win, I think there's nothing wrong with that.

Its totally not your fault if someone gets addicted because you show them the world of gambling. I have been in that situation before, well not in gambling but always the same situation. I alway tells them that is not my fault because he/she can makes the final decision and not mine. And I'm not even bother because my conscience is clear. If you will have to blame someone, blame the person itself, if he/she lost his/her emotions and decision making, simple as that.
I think convincing them to gamble is not good but if they will come to you and saying that you will teach them then you can do it. If they can't control their selves in gambling then its not your fault, its their fault now. There is nothing in convincing them into gambling as long as they know the consequences in it.
Good point, it is not your position in terms of getting addicted if those people who wanted to learned are the ones who ask for this favor, giving them tips and some guides on how to enjoy this activity same with how you treated it can be enjoyable still, in terms of becoming addicted you can do nothing to avoid that since no one can control people's mindset, after giving proper information and how things should be run inside, it will be there options whether just to enjoy or became addicted.

yes, for new people who playing gambling can have the chance to become an addicting person in gambling so you need to know this before you convince people to join in gambling. you don't want to be called a virus that influences people to play gambling, right?
I agree that he will think that because, in the game, he can easily to win without any problem. but if he cannot handle his emotion, he can attract deeper into the gambling games and this can make him to always play the game.

In my opinion, you cannot do anything about that anymore and that is out of your control. It’s the persons personal agenda now and people who have tried something that they had fun and want to continue might have some problems in the future. It’s not wrong to teach them the right thing but it’s up to them to do what is right.
Very correct. You may ask a friend to try few times with you but you cannot force him to continue this. I will not say that it is a wrong idea to introduce gambling to a friend. But if you have friend who is very casual with work or has less control on himself, things can get complicated once he starts this.
Personally, I would never do anything that can affect my friendship with my close friends.
