It depends on the gambler itself on how he treat gambling. Good side will overcome the negative when a gambler knows his limitation and aware of the consequences if he let himself become addicted.
If we are playing for entertainment we cant encounter a problem when it comes to money or chasing losses. But we know the effect of gambling if you are only after money and its your way to earn, it can give you a huge problem and can put you in a worse situation.
Hence your question has different answer depending on how a gambler can manage himself when he gamble.

^ 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.
Well said mate, its my personally opinion but it also may become applicable to others because I think that is the primary outcomes that we may have when gambling.The number 3 in negative impact, which is losing your time spending on your family which can be result of losing them could be the most negative effect that gambling can give to us, if we let this control ourselves. So always be wise, limit yourself from gambling, you may do some steps to avoid being addicted on it, changing your lifestyle or finding some other things that will help you to limit from gambling is the best way that you can use to avoid gambling.
It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?
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.

Is this "stay Away from Gambling"? or i am wrong?
Nope, I mean is, do positive things can overcome negative things. Well said mate, you are the one who will decide what will be your future in gambling, for sure, if you get addicted on it, you may lose your control and it may destroy your life if you just let it to happen.
I can still say a big YES! Why? Simply because I haven't experience very bad drawbacks from it. Yeah! I am not a hypocrite that I never encountered items 1, 3, 4 and 5 on your negative effects list (and I'll make sure that I will never come to number 2) or even more but at least I can still handle it. I mean, I deeply understand these consquences and willing to experience a little bit part of it for exchange of a chance of earning money 
. For me, that was still a considered a healthy gambling lifestyle since I'm not yet become so harmful and toxic person.

its equal the positive effect can turn into negative if you dont know how to play gambling in a right way except of course on the luck thing because we cant predict our luck and we cant produce luck every game no matter how you build a good strategy but to other factors you can always do them like for example when you play only in moderation so that you will not get addicted .
it does not depend of the person or gambler because i know that we can avoid this primary issue on gambling if we really wanted to .

Gambling is entertainment and the luck of making money is purely random. If you like gambling do it with caution.
Because you can jeopardize your money, the well-being of your family and your environment. As a source of income, I don't see it because it could generate only a small part sometimes, not all the time.

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.
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.
It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?
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.
I just wanna ask something, how could you still gambling if you said that it is just wasting of your time when gambling? For me, if I am thinking that it is a waste of time for me then I would stop gambling, but I would not blame you because we are all different so we have different perception in life.
Gambling affects us through positive and negative. I know there are so many gamblers that are really used in gambling on which they have already experience many things while gambling and for sure they have experienced good sides and bad sides of gambling.
I just want to list down all the positive and negative things of gambling:
Positive:
1. Gambling will let you think analytically and logically.
2. Boost your decision making.
3. It will let you interact with other people which is good for socializing.
4. Gives you happiness and entertainment
5. It can be a source of income.
Negative:
1. It will make you unproductive in other things.
2. It may destroy your life if you get so addicted on it.
3. It will lessen your time spending on your family.
4. You may lose your money.
5. Some says that it will lessen your reputation.

you forgot to add on the negative that gambling can make you impulsive, irrational, obsessive, selfish, unsympathetic and so on. so, no gambling's negative side can't overcome by its "positive" side(at least in most cases).
gambling is a very dangerous game and should always be played with caution. because without it you will likely be hooked by it and become addicted and may lose everything you have and love.
Only those people who gambles excessive money will destroy their lives but if you play on it as a form of entertainment moderated expense, it can be a pretty challenging and fun games to play that uses your brain especially playing with sports bets and casino games like black jack, poker and HILO.
As the saying goes only gamble money you can afford to loss.

I may say that all of those are correct however not all of them are correct in every person some of them adapt only a positive and sometimes they adapt the negative and sometimes combinations of two. What I'm saying is that in every single gambler there are different effects on them in regards with gambling and I think this list is a good way to read so everyone of us is aware of the positives and negatives that is happening in every gambler.
5. It can be a source of income.
It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?
I dont think there is a need to get away from gambling so why not consider the positive side to make us stay?specially if we only treat as Enjoying and not for other purposes?Gambling is a best Boredom killer so why not stay in this sense? 
I think some people will still try to playing gambling even if they know the positive and negative side of gambling games. Some of them can control themselves in gambling because their purpose is not for making money. But for some other people, they become addicting because they cannot control themselves and they spend their money to play gambling more and more. As long as we can control ourselves while we are playing gambling, we don't have to worry or afraid.
With your pros and cons listed, you should also evaluate the weight or impact of each item. For me, the list of cons outweigh the pros by a large margin because most of the cons involve finance while pros tend to favor emotional.
3. It will let you interact with other people which is good for socializing.
I disagree with that. I think it's only true if you gamble "in real life". But if you gamble online like more and more people are doing you'll not meet any people neither interact with them. You will just interact with some bots in fact 
Like the other have mentioned it'll depend on the gambler, how much they spend time on the activity and what's the real reason since not everyone have the same view in gambling but overall it could be on the negative side just because of the addiction part and how it can ruin the lives of others. For me there's more good to it than bad once you know how to moderate yourself and what I like about it is the discussions specifically on sports betting.

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.
Since OP mentioned the positives then it fits the question unless he wanted to say the other way around and made a typo.anyway lets be truthful here guys,we Knew that it is our choice in which brings us to either Positive or negative in gambling.

In my own opinion, the positive and the negative side of gambling will always remain balance. The best example for it is when you gamble for money there is a chance that you could really earn money to it and at the same time you could be greedy and lose yourself control that in the end you will get bankrupt and learn your lesson.
I don't think it's as easy as imagined and said like that about the positive value that you can get in gambling, no matter how much profit you get in gambling in the end there will only be regret for the loss and bankruptcy experienced, because when you make gambling as a source of income then you will only continue to bet without realizing the right time to stop. In my personal view the positive value that you can get in gambling is about emotional control or self control.
I would suggest to read @avikz posts below, I think this is related or relevant to the current discussions.

It depends on what kind of people your audience is, if your audience have a wide perspective that understand critical thinking, then there would be no negative opinion regarding about gambling, but if it is the other way around, expect that you'll get a lot of negative comments and a lot of judgement. Positive and negative sides of gambling also depends on the gambler, besides, you'll learn in both ways, so I guess there is no lose if someone wanted to try how it looks like in the gambling world.
^ 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.
I'm an experienced gambler and I guarantee you that it is not easy to do self-discipline if you're just starting from playing it. Beginner gamblers are more susceptible to exploring and experimenting the gambling world. Most beginners are getting addicted if they see that they are winning, and as they are enjoying, they never noticed that the negative effect of gambling will now enter his career. You will just realize your mistakes after you experience failure and huge losses, and that is the time you will practice self-discipline and emotional control. In gambling, negative results have a higher probabilty than positive results, meaning, gambling is just for fan and if you're not lucky enough then you should stop.
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.
Having a lot of failure or negative results will make you stressed and depressed. Don't let gambling affects your environment or the people surrounding you, gambling is just temporary and for entertainment to relieve stress, not as a source of stress. When you came home, spend some time with your family so that the stress that gambling gave you will be relieved. Other options is that, do not gambling, instead stay at your home and take care of your family so that they will just enjoy having quality time with you. Plus, you can monitor what is happening inside your house and let your kids enjoy their youth.
It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?
Yes, even the negative ones. Once a person is addicted to gambling, no matter what the cause is, negative or positive, that gambler will stay in gambling. None of these matters since addicted gamblers don't apply any of these in the real world. They may be unproductive, obviously destroying their lives, don't care about his family, and despite him known as a gambler, he doesn't care. All he cares about is that he had money to gamble.
