You are very rich if you can make that gambling as your daily activities to entertain yourself, it's too expensive IMO.

It depends on the person how much is he betting or how much money is he using to gamble. I am always gambling but in my case, I am just using the free BTCs I can get from faucets of a gambling site. It may be little but at that way, I can bet how much I want and you can just imagine how small that amount it.

With that, I also grew being tired of it though I still do it anyway since it is like a habit of mine. I am not addicted, it's just a way of relaxing and entertaining myself after loads and tons of work.
Well that means you are gambling only just for fun because you only use faucet money and not deposit your own money for gambling which is good, so you don't need to care about losing or winning.

I can even say that playing using faucet is not even gambling because you do not take any risks by using faucet. Gambling in general should have a risk factor of losing our own money in order to win something. If you only use faucet all the time without making any deposits, then you are not a gambler. I dont know what is the right words to describe, but you are playing only. Not gambling obviously.

I have gambled before also with faucet but it's not worth. That's only the time that I'm learning myself on how I can effectively gamble with cryptocurrencies. Having free satoshi's with faucets aren't going to last long if you will use it to gamble.

It doesn't matter if it is only free satoshis from the gambling site if you are not addicted in gambling, using those is a way of playing safe in gambling, you are enjoying it because you know that you are not going to lose any money of yours that you've earned from your blood and sweat, and that defines "Enjoying gambling" because you can't enjoy playing it if you are worrying you could lose your money.

Maybe that small amount won't last long, but who cares, if you are not playing gambling for profits then it is not that bad instead of risking your money just to figure out if gambling is really fun.

Why focus so much on individuals? Look at the countries where gambling is 100% legalized, such as Macau and Monaco. These countries have become super-rich due to the tax revenues from casinos. Also, huge number of jobs are created as a result of gambling.  
Yes some countries have legalize gambling, but still they have restricted the under age people from visiting casino and play gambling there. I think t hat it is a good decision it can prevent young people from wasting their time by visiting casinos.
SOme countries want revenue but some countires want to save their tradition they can make money in some other way than ruining the people's life too.But most of the people playing in that country were foreigners so it is like a visiting spot so it is not fit for all the places if they want to create jobs and revenues there were lot of ways also available.
Yes, the fact that he has won just a little amount of money over time, does not mean he would keep on winning forever and that is the issue with a lot of gamblers since once they have a small win, they feel comfortable, assume they have got the best strategy to keep winning the house edge until they get to learn the hard way and the unfortunate part is that it is one thing to be able to learn the hard way and it is one thing to be addicted already based on one's previous mentality.
Effects of gambling may seem positive in the beginning days as beginner's luck may work for most of the gamblers but over-time it will show its cruel face like making gamblers addicted to it and then getting suffered in all means.

Bad effects will occur and the impact will be greater than the good one. Not all countries can legalize gambling even though the potential state revenue that can be obtained from this sector is quite tempting.
It depends on what country we are living, gambling is just a form of entertainment but it's an expensive type.
Poor countries are against gambling because they know it will only make their people poorer as people are desperate to make instant money without knowing their chances.
Yeah some in developed countries legalize gambling like in vegas and macau, their government is smart that only rich people come in and that can be an advantage for the government because of the big taxes, they don't care about the effects of gambling given to players, because of a large number of players are rich people
We may keep trying to look at the good part, but we all know the good part is only applicable to the government and the casino owners and very little percentage of those that luck was on their side and wise enough to know when to stop.

Every other person outside these category shares a huge loss and from what I can see, a higher percentage of gamblers always end up at the negative end of gambling at the end. Sure, I really do not care if some rich dudes have so much to throw around and feel gambling is the next thing for them, but for someone who is trying to survive and make a living, that perturbs me.

Good Effects:
*Can make money easily (not guaranteed)
*Gives so much pleasure
*Meeting new friends
*Can increase your assets
I sort of disagree with these. None of these are guaranteed at all and you have very little chances of having success on these "Good effects" of gambling.

1. You CAN make money easily but the possibility is almost zero. Since people always stay as long as they can gambling, they always lose. The only time that they end their gambling is by the time they have reached zero balance and they come back tomorrow to do the same thing.

2. Does it really? I used to be a gambler and it gave me nothing but brain fog and a momentarily dopamine rush whenever I win. After that? It's months of regretting that I even gambled my bitcoins. Those coins could have been worth thousands of dollars now.

3. The thing with gambling sites and casinos is that you start to have gambling buddies and you keep on coming back to the casino just to socialize with them. But "friends" of that type can easily be lost because there is nothing bonding you guys together but your shared addiction in gambling. Once you stop gambling, your friendship also stops unless you guy decided to try and befriend each other outside of the casino. But how often does that actually happen?

4. Uhm, no.

I agree with you, legalizing gambling doesn't mean the same thing will happen in a certain country, perhaps it may worsen the situation of that certain country. I guess it depends on the situation of the society of that country for them to legalize gambling, but if the person who Governs that certain country knows that gambling will not contribute any help, then he will not legalize gambling, simple as that.

For example here in our country, the society is having too many problems about drugs and killings everywhere, poverty is also one of the biggest problem we are facing, so technically I don't think that gambling might help us right now.

How come that would be a waste of time? It's their own opinion / decision?
Only a person decides their fate, if those you people wanted to "waste" their money then it should be ok.

Okay if you spend time for entertainment and to make yourself relax form your daily routine it is not a waste of time. But if you do not do anything else and just want to gamble than you are not developing your skills as you can learn so many new things instead of gambling which time you would be spending their.

You are very rich if you can make that gambling as your daily activities to entertain yourself, it's too expensive IMO.
Along the way you will be tempted to bet more than your limit if you feel emotional, you should always keep that patience and discipline to be safe.

Eventhough a rich person make gambling as daily activities, it doesn't mean it's a contagious scenario that playing too much could possibly provide them profitable wins. The possibility of lossing huge money can happen at all times, which sadly brought a person stressful situations. Gambling could provide us entertainment but not to the extent that you will be addicted, and setting limits was the best ample ways to do it.

Yes that is definitely true. It has good and bad effects but bad effects will not be present if someone knows or if someone has a self -discipline that knows how to apply it. Control himself so that he will never be addicted to it so no losses, no debts, no stress, no broken family, and no insufficient funds. Make gambling just a past time just to have fun.
 Gambling can turn us into something we are not coz we become greedy and addict.

Because that is not the problem of government, that is the problem of the gamblers since they need to be responsible for themselves. And if the gamblers are unstoppable to use their money on gambling, then the government will just take advantage of it.

I am not saying that the government are cruel but because of that, there will be a huge tax and with that huge tax there will be a lot of projects that will be helping on developing their country.

To avoid those effects, we shouldn't bet with big amounts each time we gamble. Never take a loan even the smallest one if we intend to use it to gamble. The last one is to gamble only on our spare time. If we are able to do all of those things then we won't get depression, broken family and Insufficient funds caused by gambling.

Agree. The negative effects of gambling could be mitigated if you simply do the right thing. It's always necessary to never spend more than what you can't afford to lose, as it could impact your financial life in a bad way within the future. To play safe, just bet with small amounts and quickly cash out whenever you get some profit. Otherwise, you'll keep betting until you're left with nothing at your disposal.

The effects of gambling are more negative than positive, IMO. However. for gamblers, they don't care about this if they're able to make money (or have the ambition of doing so) when placing their bets on a gambling game. Therefore, while the public believes that gambling does more harm than good to your financial life, that's not the case for gamblers. Just my thoughts Grin

Well all we know that when you've played gambling you will be win or lose and this will affect you a good or bad . but sometimes you will lose a many times that will cause your head ache and problems.
If people lose many times, they lose not only their money but also their family, friends etc. and it is one of the bad effects.
