Seriously, gambling has turned many people into something that they never expected. Many people were living fine when they never got themselves involved in gambling, but now is another life of stories, and I know too that gambling has changed some people's lives from bad to good because I have also witnessed a few of them win big amounts of money from gambling. So let's just know that anything that has disadvantages also has advantages.

The problem that many people are having with gambling is that they continue losing money because of their high expectations, like dreaming to win something big all the time, which we all know the chances of are low, and having high expectations is what mainly causes gambling addiction because you always believe that you win one day. If we are to gamble, let us gamble with care, not just gamble anyhow.

One thing again, no matter how you will advise people with a lot of evidence why they hardly live gambling, the best thing should always be to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of gambling. Those that will leave surely leave it, and those who can't leave will never leave it because the way gambling is rushing some people's lives, the same way is furnishing some people's lives, and that is life in many circles of life.
 
Gambling is simply my worst mistakes, I've lived with this burden for years, perhaps it have taught me quite an interesting lesson which I always think of inother to right my wrongs. Gambling do favours the brilliant ones, those gamblers that knows what they're doing and not some random greedy gambler who will lose everything in the quest to gain more from the system. We follow people who have enough experience in the system, we forget the fact that what does works for Mr A might not work for Mr B. Gambling have both the negative and positive influence on people, we should probably stick to what's good for us other than roaming about scouting for opportunities which will not end good for us.

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.

we should understand that everything that has advantages also has its own disadvantages I know gambling has it is own effect on society but what do say about people who make a living out of gambling they don't have any source of income except for gambling and they are doing very well. there are people who get lucky while gambling but for the few times I have played I just decided not to rely on it but rather play it for fun because if you not getting anything in return then you will keep hoping. the mindset of I will win has dragged a lot of people down.

whatever it has to be addiction is not good at all because at the expense of your will. you will see yourself doing what you don't want to do so it is good you were able to discipline your self and with the testimony of improvement that is how it will always be when you get rid of addiction, you will see great improvement. true gambling actually milks or has milked a lot of people but if greed is controlled you will definitely enjoy it.

They probably have a problem with their gambling habit, too. They may get addiction, same with the addiction you ever experienced.
You may think they gamble in a proper way, but they didn't. I'm sure they won't look seedy and tattered if they gamble in proper way. Most people who look messy because he spend too much time and money in gambling.

That's why there is an age limitation for the gamblers. We must be mature enough to be able to gamble legally in casinos. Most casinos obligate a minimum age of 18 years to be allowed joining the gambling games in the casino sites. They are aware that underage gamblers can have a big chance to get addiction. So, they never allow young people or kids to join gambling games. It is just for mature people, for people who understand the nature of gambling!

It comes down to what you've said about being responsible. We're all responsible for our actions and as we gamble, any result of it should be justified by what we're doing. In the first place, we know that gambling is literally gambling. We lose, we win, we have bad and good days.
Those that are making money from it, good for them but it can't be done to all of us. As much as you want to be like them, they also gone through a lot of bad days before they're able to make money from it and treat it as a source of income. Whatever works for them might not work for us. So, if you want to stop, just stop. But if you want to continue, make sure that you're all doing it with due diligence and being aware of any possible outcome.

I agree with you. Younger ones easily get addicted to something as they don’t observe the negative aspects of what they are trying to do, which is very bad, so staying off gambling completely can help to avoid being addicted to it completely because even if we say these ages should gamble responsibly, they may generate gambling addiction, so the best thing for them is to avoid it.

Unlike adults, they can gamble responsibly without getting addicted to it, but not all the fact that some people see gambling as another easy way to get money quickly, just like what happens to you, which is very wrong, and that is a wrong assumption. It will not really help at all, and even if someone generates money from gambling, it hardly changes their life because they spend anyhow in the hope that another one will come tomorrow, and that is how people become addicted to gambling.

The problem is not gambling the problem is you as a gambler because you guys already have a wrong conceptual belief that gambling is going to change your financial life by winning an amount that will settle all they financial problems and setting them up for a world of financial freedom.

Exactly. This is the only mentality that results in gambling addiction. People do take gambling as a way of getting money, not for fun again, and these people become lazy and start using only gambling to sort out their financial problems. Since they are very lazy to work, which will generate money for them randomly, they become anytime gamblers. Everyday they must gamble because they will eat food, and without gambling, they have already blocked the way of getting money by themselves, so they depend on gambling. Forgetting that gambling only generates money often

Quote
So this is the wrong mentality that is affecting both you and those your neighbours because from the look of things you also may likely slide back to your addictions if you don't avoid going to the betting store or just build a mentality of just taking gambling for fun.

Yeah. If he really has a gambling addiction, he doesn’t need to even go close to people who gamble or places where they gamble; if not, that addiction he thinks has wiped away will surely come back because when his neighbours see it in his front, he will also want to gamble again, and doing that will bring back that pleasure he thinks has gone. However, if someone has already become addicted to gambling before, the only thing to do is to avoid gambling completely. If not, taking gambling for fun won’t help them, and that addiction will come back.

The pressure and our perspective towards gambling is what actually makes it looks like gambling is a bad habit or is wrong for someone to gamble. When you starts gambling and places all your hope into it that's when it's affects you negatively because you are hoping to make fortune out of it without knowing it works the opposite way, where if you keep putting your resources you get drained all the time and if you watched those that are making it they may not have that mindset you had but just wanted to be a little bit flexible with it and they won.

So gambling is not bad and rather we can say is good, like I said whatever that has advantage also have disadvantages as well. The disadvantage shows up whenever you have failed to stop at your limits because I believe everything has a limits so when you exceeds your limits them then disadvantage shows up to you from then you began to say gambling is bad or is distractive.

How TF would you take gambling as your only source of income?? Where you get all the money to gamble then? I can't be assured about how true that statement is... If gambling is actually milking you dry, and that you got gambling as your only source of income, where you get 'em coins to gamble?..
I ain't in support of gambling though;I seldom see 'em OPs posting about strategies on how to enable 'em wins... It's not bad, but they've also been looking for strategies either not to get addicted or stop totally.

The words " gamble responsibly" transcends to mean do not regard it as a get rich quick scheme or something that would take you sorrows away. Hey, it's a hobby, pastime which one indulges in just for fun and I really doff my hat to those heavy risk takers who use money set aside for a huge project on gambling and expect that it would yield positive results.
 Gambling has so many side effects but it's sad that people tend to realize this after they may have either lost a lot from it or probably discovered they are slowly getting addicted. Gambling can be healthy if the gambler knows that its a game of chance and you'd definitely lose some and win some or if you know when to stop.

The gambling responsibility was the important word to all the gambler.The reason behind this was most of the gambler start to report the gambling sites after the loss,it was the common phenomenon for now.So it’s widely spreading disclaimer to take responsibility of the money involved in the gambling,the gambler should not blame for the both loss or profit from the gambling.The common one is the gambler will not blame for the winning of gambling site,then why gambler blaming gambling site for the loss.

Being a responsible gambler is a sign of strength since we can handle and control our urges to bet. It is really important that we have the proper mindset towards gambling and we know how to handle its consequences and risks wisely.
We all know that gambling is addictive but if we all know how to take control of our emotions, then we will surely know when to stop and when to continue. Setting a certain amount to gamble would be a wise move to control our gambling activities wisely.

I mean honestly this board is starting to turn in to gambling-aholics group.  If you have issues gambling, should you even be conversing on this board, on the "gambling discussion" topic? 

I never got in to betting when I was young, and I was somewhat exposed to it through my father, whom however was a very responsible gambler.  As I've gotten older, I always bet within my limits, so maybe I simply l learned that way. 

I do have sympathy for those that are struggling however.

Most of you guys are preaching to the choir. We are all gamblers here and telling us the obvious that it's bad and it can hurt us makes no sense. It's funny how every week someone comes here to start a thread like this and half of the responses are made for no purpose. People applaud the OP and say, you're right, gambling is bad, and nothing happens. A week later someone else starts a similar thread.

gambling is fun, gambling is a man and gambling is a hobby.

Last time I checked gambling was not a man, but an activity a man can perform. Cheesy

Yes that is true, when you think that gambling is a source of income or gambling could be a passive income because it is not. Most of the time we think that doing gambling can give us more profit and make us rich easily we did not think that we can lose as well sometimes you will lose in streak and only win one in a day. It is become too hard for us to control our mindset if we are addicted to it.

The bolded part is why people encounter issues while gambling. Not only is it wrong to see it as a way to change your financial status, you got fixed in it, which shows there was an element of addiction into it.

Your topic title should have been Addiction to gambling and its effects, which is a topic that is talked about here many a times.

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.

Definitely everyone should gamble responsibly and if you do not have the self control to do so, avoid it entirely.

This is the best advice you can give to others after your bad experience with gambling. But I want to remind you that there are many people who practice gambling as a hobby and have not been victims of addiction. According to psychology, behavioral addiction is the most dangerous type of addiction because it does not need chemical reactions in the body to stimulate it to do it, such as cigarettes, alcohol or drugs. The most dangerous types of this addiction is addiction to gambling because it drains huge mental energy in addition to the resources, which does not leave time for the gambling even to do other activities, so it is a purpose of his behavior, and it can easily harm those around him as well.

What makes gambling games a place to make money is totally wrong. Gambling is done by many people as a place to test how lucky they are that day and many people play gambling games for fun by considering the money allocated for gambling as buying happiness so that they are not forced to take back the money intended for other needs.

The concept of getting rich is not by gambling, but by working to generate profits every time you do your end-of-year bookkeeping. It's up to you whether you want to build your own casino.

[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.
Your intentions are good. I agree and support because you care about the younger generation so that they are not associated with wrong gambling in actual gambling practices.

gambling is fun, gambling is a man and gambling is a hobby.

However, we must all know that excess of anything is not good and in the end will only have a bad impact on ourselves. So this is where it is important for us to limit and control everything we do, including gambling activities.
If a gambling activity is carried out carelessly without any control over the activity then the feeling of addiction to gambling awaits you. But there is something even worse than the feeling of addiction to gambling, namely the other impact of gambling addiction which will not only harm yourself, but it could also harm other people.

It is true that you cannot turn gambling into a source of income. Because first of all, this is not a job you can earn, it's a gamble. Gambling is a pastime or hobby. You should always gamble with the amount you can afford to lose because the effect is different when gambling becomes a problem, it will definitely ruin your life if you can't handle it. That's proven and tested, many lives, families, etc. have been ruined by gambling. That's why you should always careful when playing gambling.
