I think everything that has an advantage has a disadvantage as well. The thing there is, instead of over flogging the matter of gambling, one has to bear in mind that in as much studies show that gambling is an activity that releases dopamine, one has to be moderate in his gambling to avoid feeling depressed after a loss.
Feeling depressed after experiencing defeat can come to anyone and what we can do is how we can overcome or control the feeling of depression so that it does not affect our activities after we play gambling. Most people experience that feeling and many of them have not been able to get rid of the feeling of losing money at the gambling table and still want to recover from that loss. This is what makes many people continue to gamble because they want to recover from that loss.

Yes, dopamine and serotonin are very important hormones for any person. They give joy to life.
However, in order to receive dopamine and serotonin, it is not necessary to gamble. Bananas, real cocoa, sweet bun - all these products provide the body with these essential hormones.
This should be taken into account when dealing with gambling addiction.

You can basically make your body produce "feel good" chemicals at any time. You just need to withdraw something you need or want for some period of time, and then when you get it, you'll feel great.
It can be a basic thing such as water or food, hot showers, whatever. Just don't get them for a day or two (not medical advice, don't do it without medical supervision) or whatever time period your body needs to remove that feeling from your system and then when you actually get it after that period you will feel amazing.

Many respectable people put gambling, alcoholism and drug addiction on the same level because all of these activities negatively affect the human psyche in the acute phase. If you drink a glass of wine on Fridays or play poker, it does not mean that it will negatively affect your health. But you should always remember that any hobby that can grow into a habit must be controlled.

It's pretty much the same thing. That's how addiction is formed, you do something, get the dopamine effect, you feel good at the moment, and then in the long term you have negative consequences. ~
You have negative consequences in the long term only if you are doing it more and more over time. You don't mean that we should not be getting the dopamine effect at all, do you?
The thing is that we cannot live without dopamine, and if we are getting some of it from gambling, then gambling is a good thing. But you can ruin any good thing by overusing it. That's what we always have to remember.
Dopamine is one hell of a chemical. Imagine it being responsible for a lot of your habits and a lot of the things that cause you pleasure. This rewards center isn't easily overridden. You have to have a serious willpower if you want to change what it trained your brain to look for when it comes to pleasure. If people are gambling on a continuous basis, even if it's in moderation, there is still a high chance that this individual will get addicted to it. But again, if you have a willpower similar to a god's, you'll just develop a habit but not get addicted, and those are two different things.

It is me or it just they spin it around to look like gambling has a lot of benefits?
Sure, you can be happy when playing, I experienced that, but what happened next? specially after a big lost? So I guess it's very different from each individual, but I would tend to agree that winning is a big part why we continue to gamble. And I also don't think that gamblers think much of the government and the taxes and where it is going. We all just want to play try our luck and win, simply as that.

Well, the truth is that every player must have ethics first and foremost, there is no reason to steal from others, in fact if you play on an online casino platform there is no way you can steal, the only way is that you can get a vulnerability and manage to exploit it, even so it must be taken into account that this is quickly questionable and the offender is quickly found, in fact many casinos are updating all their systems to avoid these things, if we see the events from a point of view in favor of a player, it can be concluded that the player only exploits the vulnerability and the casino is blamed, but if not, he should inform the casino and the casino must give him a very good remuneration so that he can continue to exercise that trust between player-casino .
Going to that point, yes, it's true that the chance of overrunning the house are cause by exploiting or some illegal act that a gambler might found while playing, but the trust is important and instead of abusing it reporting it to the house will surely give you compensation or maybe a VIP treatment.
In terms of balancing your time between your life and your gambling activities, it's better to have the right practices and discipline in avoiding getting too much addicted to the point that it will cause risking your physical and mental health.

Gamblers literally don't need to stop. Just take a break every after a painful loss and they can return again in action.
Stopping to do gambling is not that simple and it needs a strong dedication to do. But in the very first place, there's no need to actually stop. Just take it slowly and make way to moderate our gambling activity. In that way, we are not fully falling down to the negative effects of gambling.
I know it's hard to resist the temptation of gambling and chasing our losses is always the thing on our minds.
But if we don't do anything to help ourselves, then big problems are ahead.
If we still do discipline gambling, I guess there will be no bigger problems waiting ahead. Just knowing how to gamble moderately and of course, putting it into action will still make us profitable in the long run. Just try to always control your emotions when you are in loss to avoid more possible losses, otherwise you will go home empty handed and leaves the gambling casinos always with a heavy heart.Stopping to do gambling is not that simple and it needs a strong dedication to do.

I guess that is human nature, I agree that gambling is not the way, but for the majority, specially if you have the means and access whether online or offline, this people will go and gamble to get out of their stressful like, maybe physical or emotional stress.
And as the majority said, everything should be in moderation, and as an individual, you should be the one controlling everything. Not your addiction to gambling and any vices because in the end you are the loser here.

Yeah, gambling, like any other addictive activity, should be enjoyed in moderation.
If someone cannot control themselves gambling, then it's probably a good idea to not gamble at all.
It's a good thing that underage people are not allowed inside a casino, because their minds are still developing, and they can easily get addicted.

It is really the most horrible because it will really take almost everything from you. Financial stress often leads to depression and the only way to remove this depression is to have a regular income that can pay both our daily needs and debt. It is worst for people who are hooked or addicted to gambling because they can be trapped in a loop wherein they keep circling in taking loans, work, and paying loans just to sustain their gambling addiction.
And this is not only a problem with gambling addiction, to be honest I do not know how people deal with being in debt for the most part of their lives as I know that I would not be able to sleep properly if I owed a great deal of money to the banks and I knew that I will need to work for decades to settle that debt, it is because of this I have remained debt free almost all my life and it is one of the main reason why I can be relaxed all the time as I know that even if I were to lose my job I have the resources to deal with it for a long time.At least in the US it seems that it's pretty common to have debt.
Here's what type of debt people have in the US:

In general, I agree with you and am not going to defend those who "burn through" their lives. I just want to note that sometimes there is such a paradox: the one who has a short-term mindset gets what he wants at certain moments, and the one who has a long-term mindset often does not receive anything at certain moments, since their achievements are "smeared" in time.

I think gambling is sort of simulation in life where you play and directly win at financial means. So it has escapist mechanism in itself. Because of this I believe, gambling can be very fun to go away from stressful things in life. I don't count financial benefits even. But gamblers should be respectful to their family while escaping from bad sides of life. It can be damaging to totally escape life.
I don't see any respect for the family when you tend to go to gambling to escape the stressful reality rather than spending your time for your family. Well, there's an exception to that If you're not frequently doing it, but as you label a person a "gambler", first thing that comes out to your mind would be, this person gambles regularly.
Another exception would be, when you're working from home and you have enough time for your family, so I can say you're perfect fine to gamble regularly as long as you will not exceed financially.

Moderation not only on gambling but also in other activities as well.Everything should be balanced and on proper way so that you wont really be experiencing problems whether on your health or finances.
Pros is not really that much aside from entertainment and the rest would be in con's but depending on what kind of approach you do have towards gambling.

I think everything in a gambling place has the potential to be negative and it all depends on the user being able to control himself or not, if you gamble until you get addicted and do all kinds of ways to get money to gamble then it must be rehabilitated at least the family limits it access to gambling venues first and substitute for other positive activities. Gambling is only used for people who have unlimited wealth and it is easy to get money because gambling is actually a place to find fun.
everything in a gambling place is potentially negative. referring to what you said, I think all things if connoted negative the result will be negative regardless of the subject. but what you say is true, it all depends on the user himself.
However, I think gambling is not only for people who have unlimited wealth, back to this topic, if someone gambles with a limited amount, there are many benefits that he can get.
Well, I think gambling can be done for anyone who likes this activity, with a note not having ambitions to make income or just entertainment, playing with self-control, limiting when it's at the maximum limit.
August 09, 2022, 10:29:46 PM
Sometimes, when a gambler is addicted to a gamble, he doesn't know what is called self-control anymore, because he doesn't think about anything else but to win the gamble and get a big profit from it and that's not on his mind anymore. he is the one who loses, so most of those gamblers lose a lot of money and others even lead to the destruction of their families and the sale of their properties and the destruction of their lives.
I worry that he will continue to gamble until he doesn't realize that he has become a gambler addicted to gambling.It's very dangerous. After all, he won't think about anything else because he just wants to keep playing without stopping.
Yes, in the end, he will lose because he continues to play without stopping and it is only a matter of time for him to realize that what he did was a mistake.
he may be very easy to get money in my opinion it is not an important problem because the money he gets is very easy and by gambling he is just looking for entertainment and does not intend to make his assets go up because if you gamble with the hope of increasing the value of assets then it is a big mistake because in a gambling place no one can guarantee that he can double his assets in an instant, use gambling to play not to make money and if it is difficult to make money then you have to work so that it is easy to get money.
If I were him and could earn money very easily, I would think twice if I wanted to gamble and try to avoid gambling.And if I want to find entertainment, I will look for other ways that can give me pleasure.
It would be even better if he could buy more potential coins, which had a chance to improve later on instead of using the money to gamble.
Its easier said than done you cannot do that unless there's an intervention coming from an outside source like your relatives and professional help, the interference includes curing and replacing the urge to gamble without this you cannot stop the gambling if you are a compulsive gambler, I have seen people promising themselves and their family that they will stop gambling but they end doing it in secret because they cannot keep up.
Yes, that's true but not necessarily if we become like that if we experience it ourselves.It is a difficult thing to cure gambling cravings and it takes a lot more effort to be able to say no to ourselves.
More temptations will come to us if we can't avoid gambling and that's why we should always try to avoid gambling if we don't want to get a lot of losses.
