I think first of all there is a problem of mindset and this is the biggest challenge gamblers suffer and they end up thinking the problem is with the casino or the gambling site but fail to understand it may most likely be from them. Firstly changing the mindset of getting rich quick from gambling as that mind set is what get people to gamble wrongly and get their selves burnt.

Gambling I think is mostly for fun and if seen like this then it makes it easier and healthier for gamblers, have you noticed when the rich gamble they gamble differently from the way the poor gamble and they even end up more profitable from it than the poor do, this is because the make fun from it and not see it as a means to getting rich but when ever it turns in their favor they become richer.

But people who gamble because they want to get rich risk too much and end up sad when it doesn't favour them of which they should know they took more than necessary risk which have coat them the much bit cost them and probably their greed level also contributes to their risk appetite, don't be greedy, gamble for fun not to get rich and that way you will gamble better and not become miserable gambling

Today I want to take a deep dive into gambling and how negatively it has impacted our society;

Growing up into a man I got used to gambling believing it will change my current financial status, which I was wrong, it was quite the opposite, not that am not seeing money, I was but I was too fix in making it through it.

When I finally quit the addiction, I realized that I was doing better than I even thought,

Fast forward to yesterday when I go into a betting shop to see someone, I was shock to see some of my guys in the neighborhood which I knew they where doing well, now looking wreshed an tattered.

One one thing I have noticed about gambling is that before you win a thousand box, they might have milk you of more than that.
[I just want to use this medium to appeal to the younger generation, please stay off gambling, if you must do so, gamble responsible, don't take it as your only source of living so it wouldn't milk you dry.

While it is true that some people can get addicted to gambling, there are two problems with your explanation, one you are only seeing one side of the coin and two you are misplacing the blame, about the former, gambling creates a lot of jobs and taxes all over the world and makes it a very profitable industry to run, and about the latter, the majority of gamblers can do so responsibly and if there are gamblers out there that are unable to control themselves and bet too much they have no one else to blame but themselves.

I think you have it correct. It will change your current financial status, it's just negative. That's the majority of results. Most of the time, people who are trying gambling and making themselves "addicted" to gambling and finding the time to "borrow" and make money, it's going to be a problem. You'll never know when they will stop and seize their gambling activities.

So you have people who are now just in gambling succumbed to it and is all negative. Did you try to talk to them and ask about what happened? Maybe it's not gambling that happened to them?

If you know that you could lose a lot, just stop. Have a budget and limit yourself with gambling.

Thinking of casinos as a place to make money is a very wrong perception. As you said, we have to be responsible for our gambling, but that will never happen to people who are addicted to gambling and think casinos are money machines. We must be aware that casinos are companies that seek profit, their equipment is expensive and their employees must be paid, so it is impossible for them not to make a profit, and their profits come from the gamblers' losses.

So if we like gambling then play sensibly, if not then we will only give profits to them and in the end we will be the ones who go bankrupt.

Technically, We are playing in gambling because we think about having extra money by risking our own money on games. Unless you are just playing demo games or free spin then you really are not thinking about money when you go in the casino.

Thinking about profit when playing to the casino is not bad because that’s the goal on gambling to get the entertainment. It is bad when you are already relying on a casino to give consistent profit to and view it like a source of income.

We play because we think we will win. The thought of making money easily out of gambling is very cool to resist though. Just imagine yourself bragging to someone that you made money out of nothing but the courage to bet alone.

You just hope you win every now and then. It's not a career to pursue though so if you spend too much time on casinos, you might as well do your best to win. If you are not killing it, just find a job.

May be some individuals are better in gambling and they become successful but not everyone can make money with gambling. The teenager will have more risk because they are too emotional in their losing and winning abilities.

This is the problem that most people do have, they always use the success of others on gambling to motivate their self, like they say if someone they know who is not that good with numbers can predict perfectly and win a game which can change their life, why can't they them self do it too.

I see no problem if someone that had a success inspired them, even in gambling. I'm also one of most people that got into gambling because someone who won inspired me, influences from friends who won is one of many reason. The problem only starts if they don't realize how different things are going with them, and there are a lot of trails to follow if you want to be that someone who won, like the amount of bet, how lucky you are, algorithm stuff, etc. There's no problem if someone inspired you in gambling, however one should realize that every one of us has its own path on many things.

One effect of gambling is addiction, no matter how high or low your stake is, the game itself is very addicting for all of us. It's a cliche to say, but I gotta say learn to discipline yourself in gambling or get caught in something disastrous.

To dive deep into gambling you need to keep millions because gambling only requires money. Gambling may or may not change your financial position so it should not be your first target. In my opinion you should quit gambling if you have accumulated big capital from gambling. I have seen some gambling sites that will let you win some games to lure you and lose when you bet big money. So those who do the best work are those who gamble while having fun, so I don't want to act like that. Not all money amounts can be gambled so you should only gamble with extra money.

That is the problem because we assume that gambling gives us a passive income and think we always win neglecting the fact that losses are even more possible. If we are into gambling, we must be aware also that we could lose our money. So instead of thinking about winning, better think about enjoying the moment so it won't hurt us if ever we lose.

That's right, gambling can't be a source of income so don't expect to get a lot from gambling. This thinking is really wrong, your loss here is bigger than your win. Yes, in the beginning you win but you don't realize that your losses become bigger than your wins.

For me, you made the right decision to quit gambling and congratulations because you got out of here before you were completely addicted to gambling.

I appreciate it when people relate their personal gambling experiences and worries about how gaming affects society. Their experiences consistently make a few key points regarding the risks of gambling addiction and its potential repercussions. The OP's narrative will be included in the gambling cautionary tale Hall of Fame. An immediate reminder of the need of making sensible decisions when it comes to gaming.

It is quite interesting how it is easier to see the negative effects of addiction when we look at it because someone else is having a rough time struggling. That is the main takeaway I get from OP's story.

Unfortunately, when someone is going down the path of any kind of addiction, it is not noticeable due to it being a slow process one gets used to (except when comes to very heavy drugs, behavioral addictions are a different category). Even though there are days I would rather not to read so many cautionary tales around here, it is always appreciated someone take the time to tell us about their personal experience, just hopping to see some positive ones eventually.

Since there is no such assurance in gambling, we must go through uncertainty. Expecting too much from an uncertain platform is nothing but foolish. For those who see the gambling platform only as a source of financial income, this will surely bring misfortune. Those who enjoying gambling rather than getting more from here will survive in gambling. How one perceives gambling is entirely up to them. Gambling will be known as a platform of enjoyment for those who follow the rules and can control their greed.

May be some individuals are better in gambling and they become successful but not everyone can make money with gambling. The teenager will have more risk because they are too emotional in their losing and winning abilities.

According to the experts people who are a part of gambling become addictive of other problems too like that of taking alcohol as they cannot tolerate their loss so they use intoxication to take relief from unbearable conditions. Even drinking they never leave their gambling addiction so when they gamble they put a bad bet which is not in their favor.

I think if a person wants strong relationship, better education, good career and happy life then they should leave gambling addiction until it gets too late.

Gambling is actually only for the rich, but it's not limited to people who can afford to lose their money. But the reality there are more poor people become a gambler, which is definitely wrong since they're looking to earn money. It's all about mindset, poor people don't want to learn and work harder.

Well this is not good and you must stay away against them because there's a chance you can be targeted by them for asking loan or even steal your valuable thing.

Tell that the lottery winners who became multi millionaires with a few bucks Tongue

But in a sense I understand what you mean although even the rich guys can exaggerate and lose more than they can afford. I think there is really no basic rule in terms of how rich someone should be. If someone buys the weekly lottery ticket and spends 100 bucks per months and is doing ok, I think it's fine. Are there better investments than a lottery ticket? Of course but if someone likes the feeling of the potential for instant life-changing money, then go for it. As soon as the social life takes a serious hit, it is wrong no matter how much was spent. If someone had the chance to have lunch with a friend instead of the lottery ticket, well then even the lottery ticket is a very bad investment.

I've always considered gambling to be fun. If your finances allow you to be lost, then there should be no problem participating in the games. You play for one day; today you are lucky, and you catch your luck and get an adrenaline rush. But tomorrow, you must understand that there may not be a win at all. If you understand this, then everything is fine. But why do we see people who decide to earn their living by playing games? Where is this taught? If you don’t have free funds, then it’s too low to take out loans for the game or sell personal items to win back. Don't let the game take over your thoughts. There should always be a measure in everything. Everyone has their own, and not losing their face is the best thing a person who respects himself can do for himself.

The first topic I just created few minutes ago is similar to what you are saying OP, the harder things get the more people will keep falling into the wrong things, lack of jobs in my country has affected too many people and guys are now into this mindset of using all means necessary, they don't care about the consequences anymore.

Gambling was never created to enrich people , it's created for entertainment purposes and making money on pure luck, but people always think they are different, until they have a taste of it's bitterness.

When crimes are committed, if investigated properly gambling will be related, there are many arrests been carried out, and most of them are related to having debts to settle, from burglary, forgery and fraud cases, they do this to pay back their debts, gambling debts for that matter.

Gambling was never meant to be harmful if done properly, I do believe that anyone can develop gambling disorder if they are too focused on making money from gambling, it will be very hard to treat a problematic gambling behaviour, and that's why people need to seek for help once they start losing themselves.

Lack of jobs traps people, and thats the problem, right? Its true that gambling never brought wealth. Unfortunately, many perceive it as a way to earn money at entertainment. They now have a mess.

Is society involved too? Does our community support this mindset? Its simple to blame others, but we should also look within. Gambling debt crimes demonstrate the problem. Remember that anyone can fall into this trap if they're not careful.

If society offered greater job and growth prospects, gaming could be less appealing. Yes, people should seek help when they feel lost. Your wisdom illuminates these difficult times. I hope it helps someone.

It's good that you share your story and that you overcame your addiction, it's not easy for minors to overcome addiction because they are fully motivated and they do not accept defeat right away.
The youth is the hope of every nation, so it is the prime duty of the government to see to it that they are well protected and they are regulating the gambling platforms not to accept minors, here in our country violators incur big penalties ranging from heavy fines to revocation of their license, government's profit cannot compensate the damage of addiction to the youth.
