Topic: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? - page 24. (Read 18839 times)
There is nothing wrong with this on the contrary it's very normal and it shows you're very emotional too. Well I'm like you too, and been there where you're. So firstly let me tell you expressing yourself is normal, what you should do for persons who can't control is to teach them contain the urge. Make them understand the risks and tie it to their goal so they'll understand.
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?
If you are worried about that you have two options depending in the circumstances, if a person does not show interest in gambling then I will not introduce gambling to him that way you do not have to worry about that person not controling himself, but if a person asks you about gambling then it is OK to tell to him about it and guide him and telling him about the dangers of not controlling your gambling, that way you will influence him to never become addicted to it, you need to take care of your friend so he does not gets addicted to poker, dice or to Game of Thrones.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?

If you were asked to teach gambling you can help out, but warn that it can cause addiction, but it's not like get someone hooked on heavy drugs, so I wouldn't worry that much. After all, if one of your friends feels like gambling you can't stop him/her with refusing to help - that will release you from responsibility for him/her playing and becoming addicted, but that won't change the situation de facto. That friend of yours will eventually ask someone else, or watch/read tutorials. However, if you know that he/she is the kind of person that easily gets addicted, but isn't rich enough to afford gambling addiction you can try to contact his/her family members to notify in advance.
You can ruin someone's life actually
You never know how addicted he will get

Introducing about gambling to someone is not a bad thing but it is better to think twice about who you are going to introduce about gambling is this necessary for them and also think aout his economical status and family condition if you still think that kind of entertainment is needed for him then better go with it.
I think totally not of what you have said, but I do think that there are consequences within convincing the people you know into gambling, you don't know their capabilities within the game, I am not talking about their strategies or anything related to their games that they'll play within gambling, I am heavily concerned within the state of their minds, especially if addiction goes into their heads, getting blinded by money and risks that are impossible to outdo, decide wisely whether you'll convince them or just let them avoid going into gambling.

this is everyone's right, when inviting is one of our awards as a friend I don't think it is a problem, because gambling has no top priority and anyone can join.

I personally wouldn't convince someone to consider gambling because of the risks involved for whoever you're trying to convince. I'd feel extremely guilty if someone that I invited to try gambling became addicted, and it's all too common for someone to become addicted to gambling and leave their life in shambles, and you don't know how they're going to react to gambling for the first time, and whether they'll be responsible or not, even if you tell them about the risks they might still become addicted.
It's a bit like people giving advice about the law on the internet, but giving a disclaimer that they're not a lawyer and not responsible for whatever happens as a result of the advice being followed.

Everyday we are persuaded with advertisements on what to buy, advice on how to live, and propaganda to influence our decisions. Ultimately the choices fall on ourselves. It's easy to blame others but I think we need to take responsibility for ourselves.
As long as it's not malicious, I see no problem convincing someone to have a good time even if a small percentage might see it as unethical.

In fact, gambling is not advisable to do because it can be cause harmful effect to people especially those people that can't controlled themselves while they playing. In gambling, there are a large number of people that can't stop playing it and they never meant the looses that they gain while they playing and there are some cases that even if their own houses and businesses are lost because of it. However, gambling is giving us fun but the most important when we doing it is we know how to controlled and limit ourselves therefore we can avoid from any losses or destruction it may serves to us.

On the other hand, of course you're the one to blame. If you didn't introduce gambling into someone, he/she won't get addicted. In the first place, you know that gambling is very addictive and could destroy someones life and you still introduce it to someone. Not unless he ask, then no one should be blame but himself.
When a person asks you about gambling then you should tell them the effects of gambling first instead of how you can get entertainment or quick money from these gambling games. Entertainment can get from many other ways so if possible should avoid gambling because at the beginning these games are very tempting if one either win or lose money. So you should advise people try to avoid gambling if they don't know but if you already experienced then they know when to stop gambling and how much they can spend money on each gambling session.
The problem is how can you control people's mindset, yeah you can endorse them that gambling can be possibly a source of fun and they can use it to spare time, but considering that gambling is also an addicting form of vices no one can control what inside other peoples capabilities handling such thing, well if you are willing to take the responsibilities when someone you know got addicted and burned everything inside gambling activity, for sure you don't want that to happen better to kept this inside you.

Gambling may be profitable for a person how to handle his gambling activities.But if you convince him to gamble because it will give a quick profit,then that is not absolutely true.For all i know,gambling does not give us good returns,it only happens maybe in our lucky days.
Is it a wrong idea to teach or convince them to gamble for fun?
It's not, there's nothing wrong in teaching someone how to gamble because drinking alcohol and playing video games can be addicting too. A year ago I taught one of my friends how to gamble after he asked which gambling sites I used because I always brag my winnings to them. Every time we had a conversation I always remind him about the risks but he didn't listen to my advice then greed caught up to him until he lost a lot of his money. Eventually he did stop after I gave him a small loan which I considered a donation.
It's generally a good rule to only warn people on the risks they could run into and not make recommendations.
Gambling with shady sites or people who will take your money and run is obviously something to warn people about.
As to "strategy" for gambling or what games are best, that is always different for different people.

I understand your point OP cause it crystal clear that you don't want to do something which will later regret but I want you to know that there's nothing bad in teach someone how to gamble and the first thing to have to teach the person is the certain rules which gambling entails in other for the person not to be addicted.
In that respect as described above, I do not think is dangerous to teach someone gambling games and how to play, i see it more like spreading knowledge and doing a good deed though the rest remains up to the learner.

Yes.Sharing some of your personal views is not that bad as long as you do not let him cross from his limits.Gambling is really an entertaining game if you treat it just for fun.But when you start seeing gambling as a means for living,that's when it started to be dangerous. 
The last person whom I took to a casino and introduced her to the slot machine ended up developing a serious gambling addiction that lasted for many years. There's no way that I'll be introducing anyone else to any gambling games after that. I don't want to be responsible for what may happen.
