Topic: Gambling. Is It Wrong? - page 2. (Read 238565 times)

Gambling has some adverse effects on the life of individuals so it is not that preferred and also it is somehow treated wrong but if you are gaming to have some profits with legal ways and using some trusted gambling sites than it could not be treated as wrong.
Gambling is much addictive and also it could make you spent all of your earnings on a single game so you should only gamble which you can afford to loose.
Gambling should be treated more cautiously and also individuals should stay far from illegal gamblings.

Well this is also my argument as to whether something is a crime or not. Something is only a crime if it hurts or endangers somebody else. Drug use shouldn't be a crime because that hurts nobody else but the person who is taking the drugs and that is their choice (unless you start stealing and harming others to feed your habit then it becomes a criminal matter). Same goes for gambling. There's nothing morally wrong with gambling or using drugs, but if you start harming others through your addictions then that's when it crosses the line. People can get addicted to gambling or drugs but people are responsible for their own actions and self-control, and everybody should not be penalized because there are those that can't control their addictions. If you want to gamble or take drugs then you should be free to do so, just know your limits and don't hurt or deprive anyone else of money in the process.

Well it is not wrong, it is just depends on how you do it. As long as it does not affect your life it is not wrong.
If you gamble to gain money it is wrong because if you not capable to fund your gambling habit you better to stop it step by step.
It is acceptable to gamble if you have source  of income that will fund your habit example is work, or pension  to those retired people gambling.
 Do it just for fun and limit your self in playing so that you will never regret it in the future.

we have the same opinion on this. besides that, I don't judge gambling is wrong because I know that many people want to use the free time to play gambling and they can stop in anytime they want although there are many people who cannot do this. but as long as we can know when the time to stop then we can prevent to get more losses and it means, we can save money and maybe we can come back to use our free time in the next day.

Till the time it is not effecting a person in anyway whether it is financially or mentally it is good to gamble or enjoy and as a result this will act as a entertainment to a person unless gambling they consider it as a source of income and this is where the problems starts to occur.

Actually that depends on your mentality towards gambling.
If you are here for profit then I would say that it's not beneficial to us because the reality is obvious that gambling house makes money that's
why they are growing into a big industry. For me, gambling is good for entertainment only.

But isn't burning your money in exchange of some fun is already a sacrificial act? It's bad that he's in that situation, that he feels like he needs to gamble in order to stay sane. Honestly, it's not a necessity to him at all but rather a habit that he got used to. Regardless, it's his money and people have their own ways of burning their money. Others burn their money buying expensive phones, clothes, and designer bags. Others burn their money through gambling. It's not that it's not wrong. It's just not our business. At least we are aware that it's wrong hence we're not going to do the bad things other people do.

I have this new way of looking at addiction. As long as the addicted person isn't interrupting or harming another individual, it's okay. The moment that they steal from someone or take advantage of someone, that's when it becomes wrong. What's legal and what's illegal doesn't determine what's right and wrong. People choose to do those things and they are indeed free to do that. We don't have to mind their business at all. And I think with this new attitude, you get to not care about the world. It saves you from the stress. It's the same reason why I choose to not watch the news as well. Other people's wrongdoings shouldn't be a concern of us unless we are involved.

Not that beneficial and also not that much of a loss. I always think these way that I will only gamble through my extra money and did not gamble much that would compromise my daily needs.

Yeah as long as gambling doesn't have a bad effect it's not a problem. after all, some players are really looking for fun to be gambled
not for profit, it's fine. the point is not to get out of control and make you obsessed with becoming rich in gambling

All negative doing results always negative  it never gives a positive outcome.

I knew a person that when he have a spare time he do gambling knowing his limits and just to fulfill  his need. Gambling for him is not for a source of income because he knew that it is not a good way to have money, also he have enough money to fund his habit in having fun in gambling especially that it is just for times that he really want to come with his friends.

For this kind of person, it is not wrong. But once you sacrifice something just to fund your bad habits that time occurs  that it is wrong.

I agree, as long as we can keep this habit from having a negative impact on our lives, I feel gambling isn't that bad. And since gambling will involve emotions from time to time, it would be better if we didn't do it in a long time span.

How can you say that gamblers are attempting to get the money of others? How do you define the word "others" there, is it the people? other gamblers? Either of that two is not correct.

Gambling sites or even casinos has their own capitals on the start. That means, they have their own money that they can use to give the people the prices or their winnings. The money there doesn't circulate as to gambler to gambler, that stops at the owner most of the time. Also, the owner pays tax to the government so some of that money is being paid to the government. Gambling is not wrong but if you are getting greedy because of it, that is wrong.

How is gambling wrong? I think people who think it is immoral are just of that opinion for religious reasons. It's just like playing a game but with money on the line which can make it exciting, but it's not morally wrong. It's like saying alcohol is wrong. It's not illegal in most places and most people can enjoy it responsibly without it becoming an issue, but on the other hand there are those that can't and it does become an issue for them, but others can enjoy it in moderation and without it becoming an issue or a problem. Same goes for gambling. I gamble once every while, but I can go weeks or even months without doing so, but it's nice to have a 'flutter' as they say every now and again and I think it's just another form of entertainment and something I enjoy. For sure I don't like losing but that's part of the game and something you accept and you should certainly never chase your loses as that's how gambling can become a problem very quick.

It's alright if you do it regularly as long as you have the discipline so you can control your time and the amount you risk.
Always think that gambling does not give us profit, instead, it's only a game that could give us some kind of entertainment where we have to spend only what we can afford to lose, that is the golden rule that we should follow.

I agree with you,  it is not wrong if you do not do it regularly.  Also if you are discipline to do it, you know your limit,  you do not gamble all your money. You make sure that you do it just fun but not for looking money to gain to.

We can consider it wrong when it results negatives in your life and you bet all your everything just to provide your gambling.

I've gamble so much that actually profti with it over time more then before.

I hust to get dumped down to big loses, then i've learned my way from experience and started profiting.

Gambling is so far beneficial for me. I gamble only on a moderate level and not gambling regularly. I had some big losses in the past and managed to be on profit at the end. I don't know whether it is my luck or not but, it has been beneficial for me.

If it illegal in your country and you play to make the best time for yourself then it is fine. Also it does not hamper your daily life and relationship and you are wealthy enough hat even if you lose in gambling it will not effect you then it is good for you.

In my experience in this field, it became beneficial once and as long as play for a long time it became worst. Almost of my earning were depleted that time so I stop playing. Though it is negative in my point of view still it can be turn into positive one by like for entertainment and perhaps could be profitable if you were lucky enough.

As long as you are still sufficient for your family's needs, there is nothing wrong if you gamble. Enough first your family needs, and the rest you can fight at gambling, with that you will play without pressure and maybe luck will side with you.
