5. It can be a source of income.

No, no, no, no. There may be a very, very small slice of the population that gambles that manages to eke out a living somehow through gambling, but for the regular Joe, gambling is not a source of income and you should not be thinking about it for your own safety. If you treat gambling as a potential source of income, it becomes much easier to gamble away money you actually need for necessities and you might start digging yourself into a hole you can't get out of that way.

As for whether the positives outweigh the negatives, it really varies by each person. Some people just shouldn't gamble for a number of reasons, and that's perfectly fine.

For me positive side of gambling overcomes it's negative side. I find gambling entertaining, it's not the income I count on because
I gamble with low amounts, and I would like to believe that gambling boosted my analytic skills and decision making.
I'm not afraid of negative side of gambling. I believe I have a strong character, I don't gamble everyday, it can't ruin me financially
as I said I don't spend big amounts.

Well, @OP, you can make this positive and negative case in almost all activities, and we (people) just have to decide what's best for ourselves considering our situation and condition at that particular moment. For example: Playing video games, did the positive outweigh the negative? It depends. If I'm so bored because of "self-distancing," playing video games would be more beneficial than getting depressed.

If you are broke as a joke, and then use your money in a dice game or whatever, there's no positive in it.

It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?

If I'm totally good and made it as a source of income, I'll stay. But, there's also a negative effect if that became a positive reason for someone to stay.

Because that it became a source of income, many people will think that you're crazy because your source is gambling. It's not accepted in many societies in the world. And in reality, it's hard to do and apply it.

honestly speaking the game has more disadvantages than advantages. If you are not the owner of the gambling site you will lose money. Even in my case that I take the games to a side of fun. I lose money, even it is a small amount just for fun, but this does not change the fact that I am losing money. There are few people who make money and if these people do not give up the game when they make money, then in the long run they end up losing all the money they won

Bro Bro bro. Stop putting positives and negatives in activities. Look at this. Does holding a gun in public bad? Most would probably answer yes, but look at how policemen hold guns in public. They don't give you fear or don't think of it as being wrong no? But look if some unknown man had a gun in public. You'd probably be in fear, right? It all depends on who is doing that action. You may say my example may be a bit biased, but I stand to hold with my view. It all depends on "who" you are and what you use it for.

Sides, other than that, Gambling doesn't really make you become unproductive ( commenting on this cause it kinda hit me negatively ). You not wanting to become productive is the reason. Pretty much the same idea I said above, but I wanted to emphasize that anything, whether it be gambling, playing, etc., doesn't make you unproductive or stuff like that. Just imagine how killers ( Not saying to become one, just saying it out for the sake of argument) think up of numerous plots that the police can't understand. Does that make them "unproductive"? If yes, then you already hold a bias opinion of what "productive" means and shows that anything good is "productive" and anything bad is "unproductive".

Is this "stay Away from Gambling"? or i am wrong?

anyway lets be truthful here guys,we Knew that it is our choice in which brings us to either Positive or negative in gambling.

it is about decision making like what you said in Positive part but this will also brings you to failure.

so it is still our mind and heart that will decide.

^ Definitely right but all of these were depends on you. You can manage your self from addiction and since from the start, you are already aware of those consequences that probably happen which is a negative or positive outcome for you. For number 3 of negative impact, it also probably results in losing your family and becomes your life miserable. Nevertheless, controlling your self and motions is the best key to avoid those negative impacts. It sounds good if all are a positive effect at your side.

Positive:
1. Gambling will let you think analytically and logically.
3. It will let you interact with other people which is good for socializing.

This depends on people and where they are gambling.

Since we are using cryptocurrencies, I can assume that we usually gamble online either fiat or cryptos. Number 1 would not be included if a gambler is betting on dice games since that is a lucky-unlucky situation, you don't really need to think. Another thing is that most online gamblers don't usually talk at chats, usually, they are busy and just letting the bots do the betting.

Negative:
1. It will make you unproductive in other things.
3. It will lessen your time spending on your family.

Number 4 is inevitable and other else is obvious.

1 and 3 can be lessened. As I said, a lot of people here are betting online and most of them use Bots. In that way, they can lessen their time in front of their PCs or laptops and focus on what they need to be done. They are still productive and at the same time, they have time with their family.

Yes, I will.

I am gambling for a while now and I am not really addicted so I have no problem with it. The problem in my case is that I am spending most of my time, more like wasting my time since I don't have that much money to start with and I am just using faucet sats that I can get. Still, it is entertaining and a good thing to relax, I do auto-bet too but it will be lost so quickly.

4. You may lose your money.
5. Some says that it will lessen your reputation.

It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?
