Topic: Gambling kills the fun in these two cases (Read 672 times)

I think your friend is not too much loser. When a person makes loss and loss then there is no way to make a healthy life and the life makes too much unhappy for the gambler as well as for the family members of the gamblers.

It’s very easy to lose yourself when gambling. You get that high and you feel as though nothing can go wrong until something does. So you bet everything you have thinking the risk is so worth whatever it is it can bring you in the end.


I feel like many people start out gambling as some kind of entertainment until they start winning and they enjoy the feeling of winning more than playing itself which soon becomes a problem

while there are some that has this living , I actually have a friend that a total gambler but  
still he is  bringing good living to his family and indeed that they are doing good.

if you can have fun completely then it is better but the problem is that when you engage
yourself completely and if that is the case then that will bring more stupid future.

yeah and some is also willing to lose their family and life just because of gambling,.

Gambling is quite addictive on it's nature but we have to approach it with moderation and we only know what is our risk tolerance and when we started going beyond that then it's a first sign that we are derailing from what we are supposed to. Making money is attractive part of gambling but we can't beat the system and if we try to prove it wrong most likely it will backfire at us.

You are right that some people gamble responsibility but the maximum don't have any responsibility. If all the people have gambling responsibility then how the gambling site will continue their business?

Sure, some people gamble responsibly.  But many don't.  That's why casinos thrive on addiction and desperation.


That's not what I meant. Chasing your losses is never a smart gamble. What I meant was that there are undoubtedly some folks who win big at the casino and  and they like to brag about it which reels new gamblers in.  If everyone lost all the time, those places would go under real quick.


Most of us do. Except for the lucky few. But then again, is it really luck or a smart bet?

I am entertaining myself with various ways and not just with gambling but also by playing games that I like to during my free time.

You'll hear a lot that people should only gamble when they're only in it to have fun but then, you'd see gamblers that they're in it to do it for profit and do whatever they can in their capacity to get some profits on it.

But I don't understand how it is killing the fun when you think of the profit when it's actually fun when you're making some of it.

There is no pleasure in playing slot games in demo modes, you’re taking away the fun if there is no risk and reward in the game. Demo mode is just a way for players to get accustomed to playing a game. I would rather play adventure games on PlayStation than waste my time on demo games as a replacement for gambling. The pleasure for me is the uncertainty of how the game is going to play out and I get a huge kick out of it when there is money involved whether big or small.

When it comes on seeing things around then with social media then everything could really be exposed on which this is really that something that could really happen and something that would really be influencing those minds whether you are old or minor then everything could really be able to give out that kind of effect.Whereas, it would really be that totally different into those kids which arent that matured enough
on seeing into those things on which it would really be likely giving out that kind of impact into their lives. As for gambling experience then it would surely kill up the fun if you do lost up money
but we do know that this is something which is really that talks about losing then it would really be definitely killing out the fun.

That's right, friend, I agree that gambling should not be used as a main source of income. Because it is clear that gambling is not a profession but gambling is just a means of enjoyment. Therefore, gambling is not suitable as a main source of income.
Apart from that, talking about gambling which should not be used as the only entertainment, I think the expression you explain is a bit inappropriate. Because I personally don't think it's a problem if gambling is used as the only entertainment. Because everyone definitely has different pleasures and this definitely depends on what they like. Therefore, I personally don't have a problem if gambling is used as the only means of entertainment. But, that also requires that be able to control yourself well. Because people who like to gamble lose track of time and become lazy, maybe that's not a good thing. Because of the context of fun or entertainment when gambling, I don't think it's like that. However, in my personal opinion, in the context of having fun or entertainment while gambling, this is useful for relieving stress after being tired from work. So gambling after the weekend suits me perfectly. Because every weekend, I have work off, and I also always entertain myself by gambling. Even then, with limited money, and not spending a lot of money.

So in conclusion, I really agree with your opinion that gambling should not be used as a main income. However, I personally do not agree with your opinion that gambling should not be the only means of entertainment. Because if you is said that making gambling a source of income can eliminate the thing called fun, I agree with that opinion. However, if you say that gambling is used as the only means of entertainment and this can eliminate the pleasure of gambling, I think your assumption is a little unreasonable.

You've got a point about letting people learn from their own experiences. It's true that sometimes, no matter what advice we give, people need to make their own choices and sometimes even mistakes to truly understand the consequences. While it's important to respect their freedom to decide, sharing our insights and warnings can still make a difference, even if it seems like they're not listening right away. It's about caring enough to speak up, but also knowing when to step back and let experience be the teacher.

Nowadays life shows on social networks how successful and rich everyone is, but they do not show the other side of their lives. Many girls signal that they won’t go to a meeting if the guy doesn’t come pick her up in a good car and take her to an expensive restaurant. Therefore, many players try to squeeze the maximum out of themselves when betting and are ready to bet everything, otherwise the girl they want will not go with them. Of course, this is a conditional example, but capitalist ideas are everywhere. I also think that young people have become more risky in terms of gambling, they take on unreasonably high risks and no one thinks that they will fail in one of the cases, although we must always know what we will do in case of failure.

For me, winning in gambling is only temporary, especially if we are not good at controlling ourselves and our emotions when gambling. Why is that, because when we are not able to control ourselves and our emotions as well as possible, we often do stupid things by losing the winnings that we have previously achieved, instead of withdrawing the winnings, we actually double the amount of the bet by a hope that we can get a bigger win than before. In the end, a bigger victory cannot be achieved, and the results of the previous victory are exhausted without any residue, so that at the end of the game we only have regret and remorse. But not quite there, we again reach into our wallets to make deposits and play gambling, which behavior will only cause significant losses and deep regret.

Because the possibility of high risk can be a big problem in this case, or what it means is that the possibility of risk in gambling will frustrate your goal of earning in it, in addition there is always no certainty from the beginning about whether at the end of the session you will win or not, everything is always unknown unless you have completed the session and this confirms and is the reason that gambling has absolutely no element of consistency in terms of earning.

Everything is always about "chance" and something that can only happen by chance can never be used as a place to earn, it's too risky and in some cases you end up losing more money than you earn. The idea and goal of earning can make you legalize all means of gambling which is where impulsive and rash decision making is what you are bound to do which indirectly tends to only lead you to a much worse situation.

It is too stupid to consider gambling as a place to make money or find income for those of you who are fond of gambling, there is no profession called gambling friends, never consider gambling as a place for you to make money even if you like gambling.

And secondly it is true that gambling is a means of entertainment but do not always look for pleasure in gambling because it is not a good thing, just like you play online games, when online games provide entertainment to you, you should not play games to be the only place to get entertainment because basically it is not a good thing when our minds are focused on things that make ourselves damaged.

This is really true
Ideal situation is not losing sleep because of gambling and not having to chase wins because you need the money urgently, you lost some or if you have to pay a loan

For some this will be easier said than done but that’s the best way

It will be possible for gambling to be a source of income only for a minor percentage of the total number of gamblers. As you said, the house has the advantage, and that makes mathematically and statistically impossible for most gamblers to achieve positive results the more they play, even if they are persistent to continue playing, despite the losses faced. It can be really dangerous to be a persistent gambler, because it will lead them to further losses until hitting total bankruptcy. It's better to be a responsible gambler, instead of a persistent one.

Some people may see a responsible one as a coward and weak gambler, but that is something the gambler can't take to his heart, because the opinions others have about him shouldn't matter at all, especially when doing what others expect him to do will only cause further damage to his financial and mental health. After all, gamblers are the source of income of casinos. If the opposite was possible in large scale, casinos wouldn't have a reason to operate their businesses, as they would be unprofitable.

Who says gambling can't be source of income? With enough persistence and a bit of good luck, some make tidy sums at the casinoss.  Of course, long odds mean many more walk away empty-handed and  still, that glittering chance lures many of us to try our luck.  For isn't that the main thrill of games of chance - the sheer unpredictability? The house may have the advantage but everyone knows a few epic comeback stories... Who's to say - for some, lightning may just strike twice. 

It is natural to think of gambling as an income stream because here if someone wins a bet he can get a huge amount which will give him a lot of financial support.  However, it is very rare that after winning gambling one can give up gambling and use that money for some other good purpose. Almost all gamblers lose the money they win by gambling again. one of the reasons is greed. Because no matter how much money people earn, their needs will not end. and that desire awakens greed in them

I agree with this, gambling should be a form of entertainment.  When people use it as theor only source of income you are inevitably going to become bankrupt.  You make terrible gambling decisions when so much is on the line.  You can think rationally when you are just using it to entertain yourself.  Everything in life should be met with moderation and gambling is no different.
