1.Winning Life-Changing Prizes: For some individuals, a significant win in gambling can change their lives for the better. There are numerous stories of people winning large jackpots in lotteries or casinos, allowing them to
pay off debts, support their families, start businesses, or pursue lifelong dreams. These instances of financial windfalls can bring newfound stability, happiness, and opportunities into the lives of winners.

Yes I have witnessed a situation where someone that has no source of earning a living other than doing menial jobs which doesn't even come oftenly won a huge jackpot and started crying because he never expected to have a form of relief through gambling. His status changed, he bought land and establish business for his mother and he started doing a transportation business and live a good life after.
Gambling can change someone's life at a time when they least expected but it depends on the way you follow up your gambling life because if you are too dependent on gambling, the results you want may not come but if you focus on other things while still playing gambling as though you are doing it for fun, a day might come when you may get a surprise winning that may change your life and your status.

I can see that you only talked about the positive side of gambling, and if I must say, you are even elaborating on this unnecessarily just to buttress your point about gambling. As this might be true, we should not get carried away by it as it is not particularly the case, there are dangers and anger too, so we should not get carried away by this. I mean we should understand the bad side, and tempting and addictive side of gambling so that we can balance the two together. Now, in balancing the two, I can only say that gambling is good only if we are sensible and smart towards it, otherwise, it will certainly be bad overall because it is not so easy.

Even for those who are sensible and smart with it, they are still facing a whole lot of challenges that make gambling so dangerous for them and it all depends on how best we are dealing with the situation in the sense of managing gambling and ourselves which matters most in my opinion. It can't just be as easy as the positive side looks, which is why I would rather implore people to think more of the challenges and not believe that gambling is so advantageous the way the OP states it. Such could cause people not to get more prepared towards the negative side of it which is what causes people to often fail woefully in it believing it is easy and a way to make money.

While gambling can bring excitement and joy to some, it's essential to acknowledge its potential negative impacts and risks, such as addiction and financial loss.

This is what OP trying to cover from the whole thread and that is the reality in gambling
because there are only few that succeed in this journey but the losses is incomparable .
there are even family that broken , life that has been taken and life that changes into
so much worst because of gambling.I am not blaming gambling for this but if Gambling wasn't
invented there will never be these damages

I agree with what you've said, it really depends to the outcome of each individuals when it comes to gambling but even if gambling wasn't invented, there will be other incidents that may happen just like the damages that will be acquired when doing gambling. We cannot control people's fate because it is what it is. All we need to do is to be more aware of what we should and shouldn't do so that we don't end up with the fate of most gamblers.

Every situation mentioned also has its opposite, but with gambling it is just a means and the person using it creates the result. Whether the player receives positive/negative results, it is all part of this field, as a balance that does not contain everything.

I know that different situations arise, such as when someone whose life is really at a standstill spends all his accumulated money on betting, and where someone has just shared his winnings. So every nuance exists and each of us is the one who brings it.

Gambling conquered the negative impacts on gamblers, more important and straight than the positive ones. We shouldn't be caught up in all these gambling shits if we don't do anything, perhapes I'm human and still have that soft spot in me. Everyone have some vital information to keep to himself and never fluctuates about them because it's weigh pretty dirty down there. Gambling is not for the weak, only for the strong and people who are willing to run operations their own way.

We need to be as unbiased as possible when looking at any subject, and while I have no problems at all with someone gambling, as it is something I also do once in a while, we need to also avoid being over optimistic about gambling in general.

If this is not the case and the possible negative consequences that gambling could bring are disregarded, then it is way more likely that we could eventually suffer some of those consequences, something that is really undesirable as the losses which can be accrued are not small at all.

It's true that gambling has a positive side if you do it right and have fun, but you also have to be aware of the negative side. I also feel the positive side of socialization because I can interact with several people online and also some of the positive sides mentioned by the OP.
However, you need to realize that gambling has more negative impacts and also carries quite large risks, including the potential for addiction, financial and time losses, as well as negative social impacts and many other negative sides.

Yes, but only a few gamblers can really feel the positive side of gambling activities, or that means only a few of them are really able to make gambling a place to find entertainment and fun and most of the others usually make this gambling more a place to earn or they think that gambling can change their fate because of the opportunity to "multiply" the money they bring which is actually nothing more than a "chance" of winning and not certainty of winning which means they misunderstand what is meant by opportunities in gambling so that seriousness actually has a bad impact on them because gambling is not for earning.

With this then maybe we can conclude that more people are too careless than people who come with caution and thoroughness before making decisions, carelessness is because they only see gambling from one side and do not consider it from various sides about possible negative impacts. If we talk about the positive side then yes as you said that socialization or improving relationships with other people you can feel and also besides that you will really be able to get rid of boredom with a few rounds in gambling that can trigger adrenaline and can also entertain when we are in free time.

The positivity and the light you are talking about depend on the attitude of the gambler, if the gambler is playing for fun, then some of those you've mentioned will apply

Quote from: herecomesjohnny on March 23, 2024, 06:12:57 AM

5. Overcoming Adversity: In rare cases, gambling has served as a means for individuals to overcome adversity or hardship. Some people facing difficult circumstances have turned to gambling as a source of hope or
escapism. While this may not always lead to positive outcomes, there are instances where individuals have used gambling as a catalyst for personal transformation, resilience, and recovery.

Gambling should not be used for escapism or transformation gambling is not a rehabilitation center or part of rehabilitation for any disorder, it should not be recommended at all, gambling should be for entertainment not something you recommend for any positive transformation.

What are your examples of how gambling has positively impacted your lives, and how do these instances contrast with the common negative perceptions surrounding gambling?

You have highlighted some positive aspects of gambling which is true but in reality it is difficult to find those positive aspects. Because it is not possible to get the behavior that should be among gamblers. Due to which those positive aspects are not effective. Because most gamblers don't treat their gambling as just fun. Even if they say it in mouth, their behavior is not like that in reality. Not all gamblers can win the lottery. While some may get money to change their genes, there may be many gamblers whose winnings do not have much of an impact on their lives compared to the amount of money they lost gambling. If the gambler can do responsible gambling then only he can enjoy gambling but he must not be greedy. Those who are greedy cannot practice responsible gambling.

For sure there will be positivity as well when it comes to gambling, I mean there will be winners and losers on gambling, and most of the time when it comes to gambling it is always related to a bad image due to site negative consequences and probably because we always see people who gamble going to a lot of problems, so we always tend to avoid it in the end because most of the time it is not going to end well for the most of us.

I mean for some people gambling is just for entertainment when can be a positive thing, yes all of the things that you have said is correct.

1. Bonding and Socialization: For many, gambling serves as a form of entertainment and socialization. Whether it's a friendly poker game among friends, a night out at the casino with loved ones, or participating in
   community bingo events, gambling can foster bonds and create lasting memories. These social interactions can improve mental well-being, reduce stress, and strengthen relationships.

3. Boosting Confidence and Skill Development: In games of skill like poker or blackjack, success often relies on strategy, calculation, and decision-making. Some individuals find that mastering these games boosts their
   confidence and sharpens their analytical skills. Additionally, achieving success in competitive gambling can instill a sense of accomplishment and pride, leading to improved self-esteem and personal growth.

4.Supporting Charitable Causes: Many gambling activities, such as charity poker tournaments or raffles, are organized to support various charitable causes. Participating in these events allows individuals to enjoy gambling
   while also contributing to the betterment of society. Winning in such contexts not only brings joy to the individual but also benefits those in need, thereby spreading positivity within communities.

5. Overcoming Adversity: In rare cases, gambling has served as a means for individuals to overcome adversity or hardship. Some people facing difficult circumstances have turned to gambling as a source of hope or
   escapism. While this may not always lead to positive outcomes, there are instances where individuals have used gambling as a catalyst for personal transformation, resilience, and recovery.

But this is not always going to be the case here since you need to win the bet for sure in order to get some of these things, life-changing money for sure is not going to happen that easily especially if you're always losing the bet. Then the rest is not going to happen to you as well if you're always losing the bet, Let's just say that even though there is a lot of positivity about gambling there is always more negativity that is linked to it, like addiction, money problems, mental health etc. In my opinion its going to be better not to recommend gambling just because of this points.

I have to agree with you. But at some point, I also have this thought that we should look more into gambling having both the positive and negative effects, and it’s up to us how we can weigh things right whether it’s good or explicitly bad for us.

If you are gambling responsibly, I think there’s nothing wrong with it as we also find pleasure and satisfaction from gambling even at a small amount. But if you cross that bridge and see gambling as more of a source of income until you can’t control your gambling urge anymore due to greed for money, then with that situation, gambling will never be good for us anymore.

It's important to weigh its positive and negative effects and recognize the role of responsible behavior in determining its impact on our lives. Gambling can provide entertainment, excitement, and even a sense of satisfaction, particularly when enjoying it with friends or as a form of leisure activity. Problems arise when gambling becomes excessive or compulsive that is driven by a desire for financial gain or an inability to control the impulses.

Therefore, People who do gambling need to approach gambling with a clear understanding of the risks involved and to set boundaries to ensure that it remains a source of enjoyment rather than a source of harm. Whether gambling is considered good or bad depends on how it is integrated into life and the extent to which it is managed responsibly. Recognizing the potential pitfalls and taking proactive steps to mitigate risks can make people enjoy the positive aspects of gambling while minimizing its negative impact on their well-being.

Everything which have an advantage usually has disadvantaged too. Most gamblers misquote (seeing it in a wrong perspective) gambling and losses their mind after becoming addicted in such a way that they can not escape the torment they get at the end. I think gambling really have much advantage like you have listed some out, despite that I don't agree with all of the advantage you liated. In the aspect of being social and wining a life changing amount, I think it's an advantage.

Of course, gambling is not just about negative things. It's called gambling because it's either you win, or lose it.

However, it's pretty obvious what situation most gamblers ended up in, and that was losing. Yes, there are big winners in gambling, and that is possible, but not all people can experience that. If gambling is that easy, then it's not gambling anymore.

It's better to put on anyone's mindset the negative effects of gambling instead of the positive things we can get into it.

The influence of gambling to the gambler depends on how he treats the gambling itself. If he is into this game on occasional basis and only use money that he can afford, he won't have any issues towards this habit. And he will find out the angle that gambling is indeed fun and entertaining. If you are playing within your limits, you have no worries afterwards and you won't bring any problem at home.

The problem starts when you use money for your basic expenses or other necessary expenditures. Or when you are neglecting some of your important tasks for the day owed to being hooked up with your games. Should not interfere with your daily tasks to begin with. You can gamble on your free time though.

Good thread I must say, and a good gambling testimonial, gambling have not brought any positive or light into my live as of the time of typing this comment, but I still agree with all that the op said, most especially the number 5, which talks about overcoming adversity.

I have personal had friends in the past who were literally no bodies, they did menial jobs to survive, and some time, we all did this menial jobs together, back then, some of them where all in in gambling, while I myself wasn't a gambler, and in order not to bore my readers with the whole story, as of today, two of this my old friends now live overseas, and doing well for themselves respectively, courtesy of the money they won from gambling.

And also, the story of the FedEx ceo is also another one worthy of sharing, that is, how the company (FedEx) was about to declare themself bankrupt, the ceo took the last $5000 belong to the company, flew to Las Vegas and played (I think) blackjack with the money, won around $28k dollars, out of this $28k was how FedEx was able to cancel their initial plan to declare bankruptcy, they carried on with their operations and today, FedEx is one of the top courier companies in the world.

Gambling have indeed, save and brought alot of people out of adversity and hardship, but then again, it also have destroyed alot of people, mostly those who fail to play according to the rules.

Good to focus on the positive sides of gambling, there are just too many negative post about gambling, we need a reminder always that gambling can also be good.

I created a similar topic three years ago on this forum, I will like to quote it, so new forum members can read it to their benefit as well.

Quote

From self evaluation and the evaluation of a few gamblers around me, i have observed that over time due to gambling activity, some characters worthy of emulation have been unconsciously developed by some.

Some of the characters that i have observed from the life of a few core gamblers around me and myself are;

-Development of Risk taking ability; to win big in life, you must be willing to try, and gamblers have so developed their risk taking ability.

-Development of the ability to quickly let go of things and move on; Dwelling on the past and the possibility of "what could have been" is really not healthy and it can weigh you down and distract you from "what can be". Though not so easy, gamblers have developed this ability to easily look ahead from the "near win" of yesterday, to try again today.

-Positive mentality (that is always believing that everyday we gamble, it may just be our lucky day for the big win).

- Consistency/ Not quiting attitude; Always trying regardless of previous results.

If you see yourself as a gambler, i implore you to put yourself in perspective and please share any positive trait that has been developed in your life as a result of gambling.

Do you know how many users lose to see a 1 user with a life-changing prize? The casinos are not the ones who pay those prizes, are the loser gamblers who pay for it. So each time you see someone winning a big amount it means tons of people have lost huge amounts. And with the right luck any one of us could get that crazy win, but we have the same odds to find a wallet full of money on the streets than hitting that crazy win.

Let's be honest, when we look at this forum and ask people how many of them have been making a profit since they started playing and how many people on this forum have been making a loss since they started playing, we will see that the answer will be that most of them have been making a loss since who started playing and if we ask them if they are happy with these losses, they give a sincere answer, then we will see that they will say that they are not happy with these losses. If we ask them if they feel like they are having fun when they lose, they will also say that they don't feel fun when they lose, so we are faced with a clear situation in which people are playing but not having fun because they are looking at the games with the intention of winning. of profits.

If we go to a physical casino for example and sit in a corner and watch the faces of all the players as they play, we will see that they all have worried faces, because some are losing quickly and fear that they will soon lose their entire bankroll, while the others they are losing money that they could not afford to lose, so they have very serious and sad faces, but if we look at the same sad remains that are in the casino, put them on a beach, we will see that they will have faces laughing at happiness, by that I mean that these options that are in the op are very far from being the reality of the players

Many people will not tell you that when they are playing they just feel sad, they will choose to lie or avoid the topic. The truth is that most people are still not playing for fun as expected, they are not seeing games as something where they will sit and spend hours having fun and then go away, without thinking about the money they lost. . just like when they pay to be on the beach. We are still a long way from seeing the majority of people seeing gambling as just fun
