Thinking like that, it's obvious that many gamblers will go bankrupt.
Is gambling to be successful? Of course not, but I recognize gambling for fun and wouldn't spend my entire savings just to gamble it's a bit stupid if anyone does.
Even if you chase losses most gamblers still lose, so discipline is most important.
Set a bankrol for gambling so you know your limits.
About the government having to control the gamblers it can't, they will take care of taxes for the country's income, sometimes the government doesn't care about the fate of the people who are addicted to gambling, it is an individual problem that must be resolved by themselves while the government only appeals.
Topic: Gambling is short cut to poverty (Read 52 times)
Gambling sites can be regulated by the government but talking about control and discipline on gambling, it's not on the government already but should come from the gamblers' mindset. Otherwise, if they pursue gambling without setting limits and just gamble with all their funds, then it's highly possible that they will end up losing all their hard-earned money and become homeless due to their gambling addiction. Take note that falling into poverty because of gambling habits is always a choice because of wrong decision making and irresponsible gambling habits.
Infact gambling has made many to go broke and live in poverty many has lost their life savings and even pension in gambling, I am of the view that gambling should be controlled by the government of each country and that there should be a maximum amount of money one should use in gambling.
Do you know what those people who went broke and lost their life savings to gambling have in common? yes, that's right, gambling money they can't afford to lose. As for whether the government should have control over gambling, would you mind elaborating more about it? I mean, are you saying that there shouldn't a privately owned gambling casinos(online and offline) and the government should be the one who owns it or gambling should be heavily regulated by the government? 
With gambling gaining awareness each day and the population of those gambling increasing it's calls for concern as many has fallen victim to this money sucking game that makes people not to save their money but loss it.
But let's take a critical look at this very sensitive matter called gambling has anyone really made it from gambling, is gambling worth it and if really anyone has made it through gambling can he/she proudly tell the younger ones that gambling is what going into.

I agree, but you have to think about it this way, gambling has been with us since time immemorial. Not saying that I favor gambling since I'm a gambler myself. But then again, how can you control something that has been with us ever since the existence of humans?
I know that there are certain countries that has totally ban gambling and the government could be very effective. However, as humans, we has evolved as well to gamble and maybe they uses other methods to curb that ban.
That's why the only weapon is to educate ourselves about the ill effects of it and then stay away and have self-control.
There are two types of people that gambles that I know of, it's actually three but let's just remove the third for they're the ones that are the real enjoyers of it. So here they are.
1. Gamblers that are thinking of getting out of poverty through gambling.
2. Rich gamblers that are still hooked with gambling and thinks that they can multiply their money on it.
So, either can be for fun but that's the definition that I've come up for both of them. We can say that we're all for fun and games but can't remove the fact that when money talks, everybody listens and so as gamblers.

Lets agree that yea the government controls how people should gamble with what optimum amount they should use per day or weekly as the case may be. The 100 dollar question is, can the government be able to control how many different accounts that gambler decides to open with different gambling platforms using different information details? No, don't think so.On the other hand, it's ultimately true about what charles-tim said. The government don't give a damn anymore than they do for the taxes they receive from these gambling companies. You have to be consciously responsible for your gambling disposition, nobody's coming to save you not even the government.
Or it coudl be a recipe to disaster if you think that way....

But you know already that the governments do not give a fuck about gamblers and bettors. They care more about the taxes. Then you are the one to learn not to be greedy and see gambling as just a means of having fun. If you see it not in that way or it is not fun for you, then you should quit gambling. Many gambling sites follow some regulations and have helpful information for addicts or those that are becoming addicted to gambling. But gambling addiction is more than just those articles and self-exclusion that you see on the gambling sites. The best self-exclusion comes from the mind while the best means to gamble comes from the mind and it requires discipline.
