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.

You mean "EFFECT" and not "AFFECT", good effects in gambling doesn't mean that it is really a good one, sometimes it will be the ones who will push you to be addicted in gambling, and we know that not every single time we could make profits in gambling. Also, it is not that easy to take care of the things that are making you feel like you are the worst person in the whole world.

That is what already mentioned on the "BAD EFFECTS" of gambling in our life. Once we are already there, we couldn't get out just like that, if we took hard work and patience in order to win, it goes the same on getting out of addiction.

They do know their chances. They know that they have really small chance of winning but the thing is, they don't know how little. In lottery (which is another form of gambling), it is said that your more likely to die on your way to buy a lottery ticket than you winning. Just imagine how little that chance is.

I think countries are banning gambling so that it will not be in the majority of people's minds. People wouldn't make it an option because they know it's illegal. Some people would argue that there will still be people gambling since there are still people doing drugs even when it's illegal. But as you can see, there are far less illegal drug users than drunkards because illegal things aren't our immediate coping mechanism since we know that we can go to jail for that which will pretty much make our whole life go to waste.

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.

This both affect can affect your life all you need is to take care . sometimes this good affect is not always it is depends on what you gonna do and the bad affect too it is always affect on a gamer .

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.

I am sure that if that gambler can learn from his loss, he can play gambling with steady and he can cover the emotion. but there is a gambler that cannot learn from the loss and he still chase the win in the game which he cannot always get. maybe that gambler will not come back to the gambling places if he doesn't have money at all so he can have a chance to leave gambling forever. gambling effect can happen to all gamblers especially if the person always playing gambling for a long time so he can lose all of his money and the result of the effect will differ from one gambler to the other gamblers.

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.

With gambling we can get large amounts of money quickly, we can party and have fun. And surely it makes us lazy to work because we have been addicted to gambling. But if we lose gambling we will lose everything, money, cars, homes, even families. our debt increases and we will fall into poverty. It is not easy to get rid of the habit of not gambling, everything is back to each of us.

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.  

The most important thing to do when gambling is having self-control. As with anything in life, there exists several advantages and disadvantages that we would need to consider before doing such a task. Personally, I would handle positive effects in gambling by not trying to bet more than what I could afford to lose. Of course, gambling is sometimes fun and rewarding, but getting carried away, could cost you a fortune in the long term.

Many people say that gambling has more negative effects than positive ones, probably because they tend to lose more than what they earn in the process. However, I believe that's not the case, since you're in control of your gambling life. If you spend less than what you earn in gambling games, then you could avoid becoming bankrupt in the future. In some occasions, gambling is based on pure luck, and if you don't achieve such luck, then I'm afraid that your losing streaks would be more than your winning streaks.

Things aside, among the positive effects of gambling that you've mentioned previously, I agree that gambling gives so much pleasure. This is because, you'd want to gamble more and more to obtain your desired reward. And once you've multiplied your money, it gives you happiness and pleasure. Because of the many games available in the gambling industry, there's no reason why you shouldn't achieve pleasure in the first place. Therefore, gambling can affect you in a good or bad way, but it all depends on you. Just my thoughts

Agree with all your statement (except for the releases some hormones, that escalated quickly )
And cause it's all a stakes game. Specially the there will be mores when you lose then when u win part due to house edge and probabilistics.

I gamble very often but one time I get the chance to win a big amount and because of that I think that I was lucky enough to win even higher than I got, only to find out I was losing everything....
So the effects of gambling??it makes you believe you are capable of owning everything, it makes you greedy.

You are right, avoiding to be addicted is possible to be able to set up limit for yourself, otherwise bad effects are unavoidable.

Because it is the effect of gambling, one cannot immediately leave gambling after experiencing a huge of loss. I've also experienced the same thing. But after everything has passed or after experiencing a big loss and return to gambling normally like controlling emotions well, then slowly you can play relaxed or just for pleasure, behind it to cover the emotions of the soul that increases. A big loss in gambling will not make a person stop gambling, he will come back and try to take back what has been lost even though we know it is very difficult and can not be said that it can be achieved quickly.

and he needs to learn about controlling his emotion and quit gambling as soon as possible because his body is rejected if he loses the money. I think he doesn't have a chance to win the games especially if he doesn't have a luck because, in any gambling games, the luck factor is the most thing that you should have besides of strategy, controlling emotion, and other else. so I think he has an experience in gambling especially when he loses his money and it is a sign for him to leave the gambling games.

Not even being able to control emotion starts with expecting that you are going to win at all cost. If everyone ends up winning, who will be losing ?
The pattern is more like as very few are winning, so many more are losing, and counting the odds, except you are just some lucky son of a whatever, it is always a very slim chance. People tend to bring the negative effect on them-selves anyway since all they are after is trying to get the best from gambling, but they have forgotten that it is just gambling.


Well, we all sure know that but most of the time, except we want to be deceiving ourselves, if we are to look at the level of those losing, it is bad anyway. For someone who got very lucky, won very big and was able to go do something very tangible and reasonable with the winning, more like an investment rather than gambling it all back again, then that is a person I would rather classify as a smart gambler.

If we are to generalize it, situations like this are hard to find, since most are losing and some who even win a lot, ends up addicted and still waste it all away.

Most commonly, the only people who always tend to get the good effect irrespective of whether they are winning or losing, are those who have never expected to get the winnings from gambling but only do it because they just want to have some fun, and anything outside that always turn out negative.

Its mean that you have become addicted which compel you to play again and again. Now doubt that once you become addicted to gambling then you find it hard to stop playing gambling but I think that if you will make a strategy and play gambling according to it, at least it will prevent you from a big long.

If you are good gambler and you have some strategies when you playing gambling there is a low chance to experience negative effects. However, if you really want to experience positive effect you should have plan and do not be greedy on winning and be patience.
