Topic: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it - page 8. (Read 2367 times)

While I agree with your perspective of gambling as entertainment, how frequently does "fun gambling" match reality? Gambling's variable outcomes and financial stakes preclude regulated enjoyment. In pursuit of prospective gains, the human mind may not stick to "simply for fun". Is it a problem to promote gambling as harmless fun when it can lead to loss and addiction? Gambling's psychological effects (winning and losing) can be substantial even with self-imposed boundaries. Entertainment can soon become a deadly habit on this slippery path. Even in its most harmless versions, shouldnt we be aware of these risks when gambling?

That's why when playing gambling, we must always remember that gambling is only for fun and not to gain profit, multiply money, or anything else so that we can behave properly towards gambling. We will not use a lot of money to gamble. By playing gambling, we will know that we don't need to spend too long playing gambling to avoid losing a lot and also avoid the desire to recover from these losses. We must remember that gambling is entertainment, just like other types of entertainment that can provide pleasure, but this gambling uses money. Maybe they can play gambling longer if they use demo mode where they don't use real money, but it will definitely feel different if they use real money.

Chasing victory will never be easy to achieve, whether for experienced gamblers or novice gamblers, but what will happen is that they will experience more losses because they will not realize that they have actually exceeded their limits in gambling. That is the importance of self-control so that they can still stay within their limits and also will not lose more money in gambling. If they can stay within their limits, they may be able to enjoy gambling more as fun.

Exactly, all the problems that exist and they feel are because of their own actions that cannot limit themselves from gambling. the difference is only about their principles and goals for gambling, many of them gamble for profit, multiply money, and pursue big wins, people like this usually tend to gamble more with a progressive where many defeats are obtained but it does not become an obstacle for them to stop gambling, with the confidence they have they will continue to gamble to reach the point of great victory. And for people who gamble just for fun, they tend to have no grudges or resentment when they lose, because they already know what gambling is like, and if they chase victory to cover the losses they have experienced it will only make them experience more loss of money.

Most of those who chase victory cannot accept the defeat they get so they have the thought of playing again in the hope that there is a victory that will turn things around and can cover the defeat they get, but that's just a dream in my opinion, they will be lucky when it's time. So in my opinion, don't gamble excessively, it's better to be reasonable after all, when it's time to win they will get the big win. not by gambling continuously which causes difficulties with their own finances.

The OP is telling you to do what I say and not what I do. But on a serious page, OP is right actually. If you know the number of people some families has lost to gambling, you will pity them and have the same massive support on why gambling is bad for the society, though the problem is always from the players that are addicted. You can't use gambling as a way to feed your family, that's absurd and foolish. Gambling is meant to be gambling( win or lose at the fun of it).


Some countries allowed gambling business to trivia because they want to share the revenue from this companies knowing that there is no job anywhere. When people look for a job and has no alternatives, the only thing they think of is gambling and gambling but that is very bad because the government is losing young talented youths are productive in gambling and not in other sector of the country that will help them.

Really sorry to hear about your experience with gambling. We've all had our own share of gambling but there's still a reason we still gambling. Generally I'll disagree with your view about gambling, gambling is not bad, but being addicted is bad and if the addiction isn't tackled and is allowed to escalate then it'll surely destroy your life and cause you more pain than you can imagine.

You're likely to get addicted when you dedicate too much time to gambling, gambling is something that's supposed to be don periodically and not a daily routine. No doubt that it sure can really be addictive and that's why kids are not allowed to gamble, not just kids, even those who knows fully well they lack self-control.

But I see that lately more people are taking gambling to the other side or what I mean is gambling with a goal that is not suggested by facts and logic, it is very unlikely that some people will think that this is just an activity for fun, if indeed there are more People who assume like that then I think there are more other things or other alternatives that they can choose if the goal is just to have fun, after all, even though gambling can give you pleasure, on the other hand, this activity is still quite risky.

This means that most people come not to look for fun but rather to earn money, so the proof is that now there are more people who suffer from the negative impacts of gambling than those who feel the positive benefits. It all depends on them because only they themselves can choose all the options, but perhaps the problem is that not everyone can consider it carefully before making a decision, and also what is more striking about gambling is the tempting chance of winning. So I hope you are one of those people who can think realistically when looking at gambling, there is no certainty whatsoever there, especially regarding the results you want, and also in my opinion if you just want fun then just look for something else that is not risky.

Gambling was not meant to harm anyone but was for fun but when you take it to the other side of the game where money is involved then you have to wear a thick skin so that when you loss it would not hurt you much. And you can't tell everyone to leave gambling because of what happened to you. Gambling is not a bad thing for everyone but how you go about it means a lot.

It was because of the way you involved your self in the gambling that almost ruin your life. If you play it in a moderate way, then things would have been fine for you. In my believed anyone who went bankruptcy because of gambling has not or didn't plan his life well.

I'm surprised by people who only focus on those who go bankrupt from gambling, even though there are many people out there who feel good benefits from gambling. Gambling is an activity that actually stimulates brain intelligence, there are even many cases where the elderly managed to retain their memory because they keep gambling

If people only focus on those who suffer losses due to gambling then there will be no end to discussing it, gambling is always a problem for them, just look at countries that legalize gambling, their governments have large sources of tax money so that the country's finances are stable

Its your money
Its your decision
Its your own will
So you are the ones who would face consequences

Gambling isnt bad as long you do find yourself that responsible because if not then you would really be ending up on disastrous condition on which it would be just that normal
that losing money will really be just that normal.Therefore, on the time that you do get involved with gambling then it is really just that normal that you should be prepared and get ready on losing money.
Gambling is just for fun and not for making source of income because once you do mold up this kind of idea in mind then you are just simply wrecking up yourself gradually.

Stay away if you do see that you are emotionally impulsive when it comes to this on which it would be the common scenario on most people on why they do really end up that miserable with gambling.
If you arent that responsible on what you are doing then most likely you would really be ending up on a disaster on which this is a common situation that you would be facing
if you arent that mindful about your gambling activity.

Life itself is all about gambling. There are things we do with the hope of being at the middle, we win or we lose. Life has different phases and we should not become weak because we could not meet up with life expectancy, we need to make sure that we keep trying because one day we might surely become a winner. Self control is one tool that can keep us lose to winning since without it we can't get to height we expected. We should be always ready to keep improving whatsoever thing we are doing so that we don't finally lose it when we supposed to be enjoying the labour of our effort.

Hmm yes what you say is also true, not everyone will realize the statement that gambling is only for entertainment and fun, I think this is quite reasonable because usually something will be easily recognized by many people when there is something very tempting like a win, simply put one person will bring 5 of his friends when that person wins. And of course his friends will get involved in gambling in the hope of having the same fate as that person or the intention of getting a win too. They will not realize that this activity will be the starting point for many problems to arise because they come with the wrong idea and may never think or just know that gambling should only be for entertainment.

They will continue to carry the mindset that gambling is a place that produces until they are willing to do anything including putting more money there and finally losing and it is not once or twice but often. Even though defeat always dominates but strangely it doesn't occur to them to find what's wrong there, if they realize that actually only luck can help them then maybe they won't be too aggressive. Well that makes sense, if you really have a business spirit and want to make money from gambling then there is no other way but you have to build your own casino.

They should be prepared for the risks involved, because the only ones who feel it are themselves and not others. Because the financial risk is the main one, not to mention the mentality that will be affected by gambling. Most of them do not think about their financial capabilities so they always force themselves to continue gambling by not thinking about their limited financial situation, they do many things to be able to return to gambling including borrowing capital, of course this is wrong, by borrowing capital for gambling this will only complicate their financial situation. They should be able to avoid this to not increase their financial problems. They must immediately realize that what they are doing is wrong and to leave gambling, especially for those who are already addicted, it will be difficult to leave this habit, actually there are many ways to leave gambling or addiction, but it all depends on themselves to determine whether they really want to stop gambling or just nonsense.

In principle, you're right. In fact, life itself is a very gambling game in which we are constantly winning or losing something. If a person can control himself, he can be quite successful in gambling. The main thing is to be able to listen to your intuition and not to be blinded by gambling

Sounds like someone who gamble recklessly and now regretting. It's sad to hear your experience from gambling but just because you had a bad experience with gambling should not make you to conclude that gambling is entirely bad and advise people to stay away from it. There is a price for every action not only in gambling but in every aspect of life and I think you just paid the price for not gambling responsibly. Gambling is actually fun when you apply wisdom and play responsibly. You must not definitely win always but you'll still enjoy the fun of it even if you are losing. You only get disappointed and frustrated when you expect too much from gambling and go hard on it. It's actually dangerous and that's why even the gambling sites will advice you to gamble responsibly when you visit their sites. I will not be surprised seeing you in the casino site again because I know you are talking based on what recently happened and when your mind is calm, you will still want to give it a try again. Gambling works like a spiritual something sometimes.

That's true because not all gamblers are out of control. So if you or anyone decides to gamble, we all hope that the gambler knows the risks and is ready financially and mentally.
I think almost all gamblers experience the problem of gambling addiction. but what makes the difference is the control and commitment of the gambler himself. Gamblers must be aware of the limits of their abilities. including their financial capabilities. So if you are not financially strong, it is better not to seek luck in gambling.

So it depends on how they treat gambling so that they avoid all the problems that can come from gambling. Those who use gambling as entertainment will also not try to gamble more because they feel it is not necessary to do so. They will set a schedule for when they can gamble and when they should give up gambling. They just don't want to experience a lot of losses, especially if they want to avoid the gambling addiction that many gamblers have experienced, because they don't know what will happen if they become addicted to gambling. It will definitely be painful for them and of course, for their families too.

No one wants to experience a losing streak, whether they are pro gamblers or novice gamblers, and they really have to protect themselves from losing streaks by always limiting their gambling. Gamblers need to know that they can and may gamble but should not try to chase wins because that will only lead to huge losses. But if gamblers don't want to accept big losses, they should not gamble at all because it will put them at risk. And for those who still frequently gamble, it would be best for them to reduce their gambling activities from now on and not gamble too often.

Free bets or not if you despise betting and are telling people to stay out of it then just stop supporting it like creating accounts.

And yes, gambling is another type of entertainment. And you're wrong that governments allowed gambling just because it is a good way of making money through taxes. Governments have their own standards and rules for accepting business applications. Governments make it clear that businesses have a good purpose for their citizens. Maybe gambling is not for everyone since the poor should not bet but it's absolutely a form of entertainment for those who can afford it.

Not everyone has responses and thoughts like you even though what you say is true, but those who experience it are gamblers who are addicted and have no responsibility because responsible gambler can choose which ones should be priorities, such as family.
We are here to have fun and we know what to do to avoid all these bad effects, even though not everything is possible, at least there are gamblers who can have good awareness in their approach to gambling.
I sure that gambler who still has or can become responsible gambler will never be willing to experience financial, family and mental ruin so you don't need to worry too much about this problem.
After all, it all depends on the gambler himself to be able to experience the negative effects of gambling and not all gamblers always experience bad effects.

Agree with your opinion, when someone enters the world of gambling, the one who determines their fate is themselves. If they gamble without being careful, then what they get is the negative side, namely losses, but if they maintain good control, and when playing they behave carefully, they can get the positive side, namely not too many losses. Basically, gambling does not bring us benefits but will harm ourselves.
And what you say is true, someone will regret their actions when they have experienced a big problem in their life, namely losing a lot of money and being confused about what else to do to restore their finances.

Not many gambler's accepts the idea of fun and entertainment from gambling for such persons it's strict business and nothing less, and just like every normal businessman they put in their all into it to pull out profit but unfortunately for them they forget to realize that gambling is mainly an activity that has so much to do with luck and not by how many times a day you play or how much you put into wagering.  AFAIK, there's no business in being a gambler if you want to do business with gambling simply own a casino that's how you stay profitable with all the hedge behind you.
