I think there is a difference between lottery and other types of gambling. Normally people buy one lottery ticket worth of $1-$2 in hopes of winning big in case of big luck, but they rarely spend more than they afford to lose on the lottery tickets. Yes, there are such people, but those cases are rare, and imo such people need professional help because it is really insane to spend all you have on lottery tickets while your win chance is still much less than 1%. I think that lottery is the least addictive form of gambling and that's why it is allowed almost everywhere, but I would like to see some other opinions, because what I say is not a proven fact.

You have not seen a common man who is buying 10 or even 25 lottery tickets at a time ? For an addicted gambler there is no limit for spending in gambling. They always spend beyond their affordable level. If you check in freebitco.in, you can find most of the people are buying lottery tickets in 100s. We can see only the winners, there could be thousands of others who tried in 1000s too.

I'm not seeing lottery as a different gambling type. It is one of the typical gambling type and it is more addictive as it will be giving you the hope of winning at the every attempt.

tickets in freebitco.in are only cost o.0000000x satoshi per piece and that was cheap compared to real life lottery tickets . thats why it is not really shocking to see a lot of users who actually bought hundreds and thousands of tickets per week .

Indeed, they will try buying more tickets as they are thinking to have much better chances if they have lots of it, gamblers points of view is different from a natural person who's not too engage with such activities, they always wanted to have some edge and even using much larger bankroll to extend any chances.

This is true , there used be a person in my town who bought like 50 tickets at once every single week . It costed him around 1000 bucks I guess and he used to win once in a month , just pennies but he still used to buy more .

Lottery is a type of gambling where there is less risk but you can win a big amount of money, however, the chance of winning is very low.

What is the unique specialty/ difference with lottery ? I believe there will be nothing as lottery is another pure way of gambling still many governments allow to suck innocent people's hard earn money. You may gamble with less risk in dicing and you may win but lottery sounds like a non-gambling thing for many countries till now.

Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

Common reason for this thing to happened.

1. Government isnt strict when it comes to gambling businesses.
2. Gambling operators do extent out their business yet we know gambling industry is indeed profitable.

It appears not to be a simple coincidence but these things can happen without your notice gradually.

In fact, there are government officials who does gambling. How ironic isn't it? Those who says not to do it, restricting us to do it are the ones who do it. Officials are prohibited to do gambling so they find ways how to do it and one example is asking other people to do it for them. They just give the money for betting and that's it!

Gambling in lower end classes is possible now because there are gambling games that are much less costly in casinos. They could easily choose a place where authorities can't see them and then gamble with cards, animals, sports and etc.

Sad reality but this is really happening nowadays.The people who do ones do restrict out are the ones who do abuse since they do know that they can really make themselves immune
and make money out of it.This do exist on corrupt countries and no surprise. Yes, there are lots of gambling games that doesnt require big bankroll thats why these gambling
places is really easy to widespread.

I've noticed the same in my country and it's been increasing the last couple of years.
I think it started after the whole poker craze from a few years ago

It started to grow rapidly because the use of Internet is quite new, in the 1990s the Internet wasn't a term that everyone knew what it meant.

And since we have barely passed 20-30 years since then - the world of online gambling is still at its infancy, and thus - you get addiction problems and more.

It's a sad state of affairs however we want to call it, there are few winners (the owners) and tons of losers.

This has become a business that leads the owner, the owner only needs to have a large roll with an unbeatable house system, who is the rich who does not want a business that guarantees this big profit, moreover gambling sites on the internet do not need special permission, thats why this gambling business is growing very fast on the internet..

Generally in gambling house has more edge than the players but it doesn't mean that it can't be won,there are lot of people who won lot of money from gambling and become millionaires so don't blame the system but when you don't want to risk money in gambling then you are not going to win anything as well.Simly if you are lucky you can win that is what gambling is meant for.

People can afford the ticket as it's cheap but nowadays since the online gambling is also growing it brings a lot of lottery games online and this will probaly attract more gamblers, so if one cannot control his gambling activity, it will surely bring bad effect unto him.

Yes, this is the reason that I never agree to be lenient against any gambling. All gambling are dangerous in its own way. Never should expect as a harmless. But, worldwide many governments are not ready to accept these.

Unbeatable house system, you say? If gambling is made people just to lose money, than no one would gamble, house has an advantage, but in the end you have your chances to win in some game, depending on how you play it, how big bankroll you have it, maybe you can beat the house, there are chances. Many people who speak about gambling here on bitcointalk never gambled in their life, what people should know that gambling isnt just game of losing, you can win, and people win in gambling generally, but the ones who win dont talk about it so much, the ones who are losing are more loudly and you can find people crying about losing everywhere.

Your country is a lot different than mine but the same can be said that the gambling industry is still growing in my country, Philippines. Even though in my country where it is prohibited by law to advertise casinos they still manage to attract a lot of people not only the ones residing in the country but even foreigners who's only purpose in visiting the country is to gamble. From a wide variety of addicting games such as slot machines, baccarat, and poker tables as well as free drinks and food there is no wonder that it even attracts people in the middle class and below.

It may had flourish due to the help of the government as well, what I have seen lately is a lot of foreign companies are trying to build up their own casino/hotel in the country which are located not only near in our airports but also in our tourist spots. They have actually encouraged this in order to attract foreign investment in the country where the ownership is always split 60/40 where 60% is the stake of their local partner.

Right.Casinos will only flourish if it have given importance by the government.In my country,there are also growing casinos but it is mostly found only in big hotels and not near in schools or any big establishments.Gambling has become legal like lottery which is very rampant today and cannot be denied that almost all people are into it.

This sounds like Vegas to me, though the difference is that people in Vegas are definitely rich but I am quite blown away whit what I heard that not only the rich gambles here but also the poor? now it sounds like not only rich places but also slum places wherein some gambling events occur here, and I can say that some 3rd world countries have this kind of happenings, though the OP was not able to state it.

Due to the harsh nature of capitalism many people are stuck in poverty for the rest of their lives and the only way they see to achieve wealth is the lottery. It's pretty sad that people see the lottery as their only hope as achieving wealth in their lifetime. The business world is cutthroat and the majority of new businesses fail.

I think it started after the whole poker craze from a few years ago, you would see poker games being broadcasted and they would be accompagnied by gambling adverts.

After the poker craze stopped, the regular gambling ads remained. Now you see a lot of advertisements for casinos everywhere.
In train stations, on billboards and on tv. This is in Belgium btw.

Gambling is growing because of the demand, and nowadays it's easy to gamble due to the advent of Crypto.
Personally, I don't see anything bad about that, I call that development or progress, it could create jobs and give gamblers an entertain.

It must be a bad sign for a society without any arguments. It may create jobs for few but will make thousands jobless. Gambling will give negative development for a society as the consequence of gambling addictions will push people to forget their social and family responsibilities. Gambling is kind of business which should be a heavily regulated all the times by governments and it should not be promoted publicly.

Quote from: freedomgo on December 19, 2018, 07:51:41 AM

As long as people will also become matured and responsible in gambling, gambling will be appreciated as it can also help the government through tax generation.

You are expecting so much from gamblers or you are just not aware of the dangers of gambling addictions. Governments are allowing gambling industry just for the reason of tax generation but they are not at considering the negative impacts of gambling . That is really a pathetic situation even in developed countries.

Now a days, all the governments are looking for revenue generations a rather than looking for having intelligent citizen. They just want a busy citizen so that he will not ask questions but will pay taxes.

That is right. This is the reason why they allow prostitution and not controlling trades of drugs. I guess at least 40% men in world population must be addicted to either of one of these three.

There's just one major casino near me, and though I don't watch much television anymore, it doesn't seem like gambling is growing too quickly in my municipality, nor much in the US as a whole in the news. Online gambling's definitely growing, although this recent crypto bear market has lessened some of this growth. Just seems to me that more and more people are trying to avoid KYC and various other means of verification through gambling online with casinos that accept cryptocurrency though.

I am also living in a gambling regulated country (not fully prohibited), but I am also noticing lots of new commercials on TV about gambling. It is not a good thing for new generations but I wonder why my government is allowing them. No one can do about online gambling's evolution and their spreading to all types of generations but governments must act against promoting gambling in most reaching media.
