I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of "gambling is neither good nor bad". That is really the way people should look at it. It's kind of like doing certain drugs, they may not be bad for you if you do them in moderation and don't let them take over and consume your life. Sure there can be some negative effects, but there's also plenty of positive effects (for certain drugs)..so it's really all about ones mentality of mental strength.

Gambling will never be bad as long as you do it not crossing your limits in gambling. It will only be bad if you make it as your only way to earn a living, that is too absurd to think of. And its always bad actually if you do gambling most of your time, and yet you still end up losing all your funds and become unproductive the whole time.

Never ever cross your limits and this would really be the key on which you cant really just able to experience some problems if you are aware on what you are doing.There are really just that people who do really

loves to go all in because they are really that becoming that impulsive when it comes to gambling.Its not bad if you are just playing occasionally for the sake of leisure time and entertainment but if you are already that treating it as your main source of income or trying out to be that desperate on achieving things then this is where things turns out to be messy.
Better stop while its still early or while you arent spending that much of your finances into this activity.

In this era, gambling is not foreign and taboo for modern society. So, it all depends again on someone defining gambling for themselves. Gambling controversy in the community will never go away, about good and bad, some say, gambling is neither good nor bad. however, it all comes down to how we define it. Gambling can be bad, for those who have no control and play blindly. Gambling, can be a positive thing, if someone only involves pleasure in it, to pamper ourselves, by involving a little betting in it. so in the end, it all comes back to each of us and how we define gambling itself.

Controversy about the good and bad of gambling depends on each other's opinion, in general I agree with your statement because the decision to gamble is judged based on the purpose of gambling and how someone will handle the risk of gambling, gambling is not something that is forced and you don't have to gamble if you don't accept it losing funds in betting, wise people will gamble according to the minimum fund limit and just enjoy for fun because they have a reliable football team to bet on in sports betting, so as motivation to support their team in soccer matches, while gambling will have a bad impact on those who gamble without understand the risks of losing and betting high because you want to get rich from the income from gambling.

Many people will say that gambling is a bad habit. It doesn't have to be that way, but it generally is. Rarely are there players who have great success in gambling and the world has a huge number of addictions in the gambling world. But gambling itself is not good or bad, only the addiction and consequences are a problem. Financially, of course, but you can also get into trouble mentally. And not many people will say that gambling is good for you. You could see it as entertainment, but we're talking about taking a small amount of money to a casino and then staying there for a night with some drinks. That is different from sitting at home gambling on the computer all evening.

Gambling, like everything that surrounds us, does not exist by itself, they exist because it is natural for a person to try his luck, but if it goes so far that the player is completely immersed in them, then of course others looking at him will say "perhaps gambling is really bad if they bring it to this". However, there are moments in life, you can have fun and at the same time get the opportunity to win while in an online casino or at a slot machine, but this does not mean that gambling is good. It's like a weapon with which it's nice to spend time in a shooting range or on a shooting range, but when a war starts, no one says that weapons are to blame for this.

It is how you explained it and for me it is really accurate.
Gambling doesn't exist by itself those who surrounds it are the ones keeping it alive.
And it is true we could see it in both good and bad ways it would ony depends on how we use it or see it.
Some peope tend to gamble to relax have fun, while other's are doing it out of their addiction which destroys their own life.

Gambling has been discovered since ancient times, its existence is now growing along with technological developments. In the past, gambling was part of traditional community activities without having to risk money in it. there are also in some corners of the world there, who have made gambling a part of their traditions and culture.

In this era, gambling is not foreign and taboo for modern society. So, it all depends again on someone defining gambling for themselves. Gambling controversy in the community will never go away, about good and bad, some say, gambling is neither good nor bad. however, it all comes down to how we define it.

"Every remedy can be a poison and every poison can be a remedy. What matters is the quantity."
I'm not saying that moderate gambling is a "remedy". It's just a way to have fun and spend some time and money.
Gambling moderately is OK(I won't say that it's something good), excessive gambling, which leads to addiction is bad.
The same applies to all bad habits. Basically, you are wasting your time and money for the sake of having a dopamine boost in your brain.
There are other more useful things to do in your life to give you dopamine, but we have chosen to play gambling games. Grin

In summary, I think that gambling isn't completely neutral, it stands somewhere between "neutral" and "bad".

Gambling is a remedy if we have problems and want to forget them. Any kind of problems like if we are sad or financial. Gambling could solve it but it will become a poison if one does not control their selves and over use it. I don't believe that gambling itself can start as a poison. It sounds not right since poison is not edible for the humans. Gambling has no issues but it was only the person who misuse it are the ones who thinks that gambling is bad.

I think it was the quality that matters over the quantity. So even if you play with tiny amounts as long as you make the most of it, you will always feel satisfied at the end but no matter how big is the amount that you use, if you don't have contentment, you will still feel not enough.

I am convinced that if a person is poorly organized in life, then he should not even begin to get involved in gambling. In this matter, self-discipline is very important and it is she who will help control the course of the game and not drive yourself into losses in the worst case. It is important to enjoy the time spent and money and not to experience stress and get into debt.

I think many people are see gambling is good, because if many people think gambling is bad, they must be stay away from gambling and any casinos would collapse due to lack of players. But the real fact there's a lot new casino sites have been created, so there are a lot people really interested to gamble and didn't think gambling is bad. To stay away from gambling is really easy, just don't deposit and play.

Gambling is for fun and that is why the gambling industry constantly growing. The negative impacts spread very quickly through those who engage in uncontrolled gambling. There are also many gamblers who are more motivated by their temporary pleasure than money and some gamblers in gambling who uses the necessary money to gamble and loses. We cannot consider all gamblers are the same based on some gambler's characteristics.

I want to believe that our decision on whether gambling is good or bad is often determined by the experience we have in gambling either the ones that work in our favour when we win or the one that goes against it when we loose, but we forget that we are the ones that set the pace for what we experience with gambling, if we are able to achieve something big and bee in recent times, then we will appreciate gambling otherwise we take it as bad if we get it all wrong whenever we gambles from the bet we take, we cannot have only one of these at the same time always, the combination of the good and the bad experience is what creates more fun on something to gist about in gambling.

William Shakespear said, 'there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. The nature of things is neutral and it is our perception and thinking that gives them a positive or negative meaning. In the same vein I say, there is nothing either good or bad with gambling, but our actions and inactions make it so. People who gamble their entire savings and have the guts and shamelessness to come online and say "Gambling is Bad. Stay away from it" must understand that gambling itself is neither good nor bad, but our actions and behaviors surrounding it determine whether it is beneficial or detrimental.

This is why I cringe whenever I hear or read stories of people who blame gambling for the loss of their entire life's saving or some negative consequence. The act of Gambling in itself is neutral. It is not to be blame for the harm that has befallen the individual but rather the individual's inability to control their emotions, finances, and time. I strongly encourage every newbie gambler as well as experienced gamblers to take responsibility for their actions and not using gambling as a scapegoat for their lack of discipline. If you approach gambling with discipline and self-control you will find that that it can be a fun and relaxing activity. Who else thinks so too?

I think that's correct. It's our own perspective that makes things good or bad.
If we look at it from a negative perspective then it automatically becomes a bad thing and vice versa.
Yes, gambling does require a lot of self control which many don't really have which is why a negative portray is present in their minds.
If many people would start winning money in gambling the n it wouldn't take much time before everyone starts saying positive things about gambling.

You can't expect most gamblers, newbie or not, to do and follow what you said about "discipline".

Not all gamblers have the same approach when they do gambling aside from the fact that every people is really different from each others. Sometimes, it needs a lot of the worst and most painful gambling experiences before a gambler learns the art of being a disciplined gambler. There are also cases where a person doesn't reach the status of being a responsible gambler and eventually will just quit for good.

Just mind our own and do our best to always act disciplined and responsible at all times. It's easy to give advice but once you feel the actual pressure of gambling, especially in the situation where currently experiencing winning or losing, that's the time a gambler can test themselves on how to act responsibly.

Gambling is bad... nothing more
There's nothing like being good or bad, why have you got options?? Why on earth do people keep losing on something and they still wanna try?
What's the essence?? These are the simple questions I Aks myself just to know if it's really necessary to Begin this whole gambling shiii' at first.When it's bad, it's bad...for the fact that peeps normally make it major sometimes doesn't make it a better option, does it? I'm even happy that some tough gamblers are even against the fact that it's said to be something "good"... Lol..

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

If it is as bad as what you think, why do you advertise it in your signature?
Does it mean that you are supporting something bad as long as you can earn something from it? Cheesy

Gambling itself is not bad, the bad side is on the gamblers who cant deal with it wisely.
Just like your phone, will you say it is bad because there are many kids who are addicted of playing mobile games that make them forget other things?

There are even religions that do see gambling is a bad thing or there are communities or people who do always have bad impressions and looks towards gambling.They do always look
into its negative side which is on making someone getting addicted and ending up their lives miserable.This is why they do really have this kind of approach and there's
no way that we could blame them in regarding with their perspective to it but it isnt really just right that they should really be that conclusive
just because they had seen just one side and not the other.

I'd actually avoid the topic of relating gambling to religion, after all, I highly doubt there's a religion out there that has a positive recognition of it. At most, they allow it due to modernization but in the past, they were probably against it. And I can't blame religion for only looking at one side of things, that's just how religion goes imo.

Sorry to say but those people aren't few, there's a vast majority of losers than winners when it comes to gambling and that's why it seems to be a profitable business for the casino owners. Gambling has done more bad than good to the society but this is a free world and nobody should be deciding what's good or bad to people, they should make those decisions themselves.

It depends on how you see it, gambling is not by force, also not for under 18 years old, it is advisable for people to gamble responsibly, but some people are greedy and see gambling as a means to earn money and make a living from income from gambling, which result to addiction and loss of more money. Many people are taking gambling to be what it supposed not to be just because of their greediness.

I'd agree to how gambling brought a LOT of losers and a few winners, but at the end, that's the result of us wanting to gamble, and not because gambling existed. The act of "gambling" in itself already exists with some of our everyday decisions, so saying that it brought more "bad" than good is kind of just wrong, since it only takes into account the gambling activity that relates money.

Spending more than our budget is bad.

Let's face the real fact, spending on gambling, more than we budgeted for it is not what is bad or makes it bad, what really makes spending too much on gambling bad is when or if we win nothing in the process.
Let's say for example, I budgeted to spend $100 on gambling today, and in the process of gambling, I won $8000, and at the end of the day, I ended up spending $1000 on that particular day on gambling, this simply means that I spent more than I budgeted which is $100, but then also, even though I spent more than I budgeted, I still have a profit of about $7000, which in real sense isn't bad at all.

Quote

All of us want to have a portion of our income for fun and relaxing and gambling makes no difference to watching movies, drinking liquor, shopping, or traveling.

I put it to you that you are mistaken, gambling is never the same thing as watching movies or drinking liquor, traveling or shopping, but I can sure say that gambling Is one end of a stick, while watching movies, traveling, etc is another end.
In gambling, you are taking a risk which could lead to lose of money and time, or winning more money while loosing time, but in watching movies, you are simply loosing time and not loosing or making money in return.

gambling is one of those businesses that are established to make a profit. and we as gamblers should know it. so we already understand that gambling is only limited to entertainment and are ready to lose to give profits to gambling companies.
and from the casino it is also always reminded that gambling responsibly means gambling using money you can afford to lose and don't spend all your savings just for fun.
sometimes there are casinos that don't want their customers to gamble irresponsibly and spend all their savings.
but sometimes greedy gamblers always expect bigger profits in gambling. so they always lose all their money chasing big win.

so we as gamblers when gambling always plan a budget for gambling that can afford to lose, in my opinion it will be fine and will not regret gambling when you lose money.
and for me it is true that gambling is neither good nor bad

Well said OP. Gambling is supposed to be fun and relaxing if we know our limits or it will turn into bad. It's like eating, eating too many turns into bad. Spending more than our budget is bad. All of us want to have a portion of our income for fun and relaxing and gambling makes no difference to watching movies, drinking liquor, shopping, or traveling. I feel pity for those poor people who are addicted to gambling. Maybe it's the lack of education and understanding which is why they cannot stop the urge to gamble.

Gambling is kind of an entertainment so either its good or bad depends on how much we consume and it varies from one person to another so it totally depends on every individuals. Gambling is kind of addictive so one who wants to enter must know it or else their ignorance is the reason to be blamed for anything wrong happens than they expected. Gambling likely casino is designed in a way to make more rewards but less chances of getting it.

Just like the OP has said that gambling is neither good nor bad, I agree with that. Though this is addictive but if you have discipline and self-control which is a must if you are into gambling then I could say that you will have enjoyment on your journey as a gambler. Gambling is not all about winning and losings but also the lessons you learned from it is very applicable to our daily life.

Have personally met many gamblers and heard their stories but one thing that I could say is that those people who ruined their life because of gambling were the ones who lacked discipline and self-control.

Lack of self discipline is something connected with our personality which can be changed only if the person decides to do it, most people know gambling is risky but they still take the risk and sometimes it beyond their hand which is the problem.

Probably told million times already here that is don't gamble more than you can afford to lose but still people are ignorant about the fact.
