In some point it is a sickness but what i think is gambling is not actually the problem but those people who are into gambling they are really greedy so they are getting addicted to it . Gambling is only blamed because it is very addictive. Cigarette can be harmful and will give lung cancer but people still using it . The point is every thing that we know is bad are the things that will give us pleasures.
The thing is gambling does not invite people who cannot afford to bet, it is just some people are thinking that gambling is the easiest way to make money because of their desperation to be rich faster without realizing the risks and their real chances, so you cannot blame gambling but the irresponsible gamblers.

No its not a sickness at all some people are just trying to blame gambling for their behavior and I think that is just so disgusting...
I think that gambling is fun to do as long as you control yourself..
People who have a sickness should not gamble, gambling is the most risky game as it requires you to put money to be able to start, therefore it is just right to instill discipline when you are in gambling irregardless of your purpose.

Gambling are considered as high risk investment website where you could lose money there in a second if you don't think twice Tongue i saw someone lately that his trying to double his 2 bitcoin is busta and he got busted and he loses his bitcoin in a second what a kind of greedisness people
yeah gambling is very risky but gambling should not considered as a sickness. Because gambling itself is not an emotion that can think or can feel something. It is the addiction in gambling that can be considered as a sickness.

i agree with this because i think sickness is something that feeling in body, maybe its called addiction like many people said on here and its not good if we continue and we must stop this activity and we should stay away from this.

many people i heard that they can stop gambling but with helping from other people and its really important because other people can give suggestion and advice for that person to stop and distract that person mind to not thinking gambling only and ask to join with other positive activity.

it really depends if the person is actually serious in quitting because if a person is really that addicted, the wont matter what the people around that person is doing.  addiction is a sickness that can be caused by excessive gambling and i think one needs to regulate this while he is at the starting stage of gambling as to not succumb to addiction
A person who is so addicted can also quit in gambling but only if he will experience bankruptcy up to the level that he cannot even afford to buy his own food because of gambling, I wish gamblers are pro active than reactive.
The reason some people need to reach that point is because they will not stop feeding their addiction as long as they have money that is why you see celebrities so out of control, they cannot hit that rock bottom because they are very wealthy and some of them end up paying the highest price.

I don't think it gambling should be called a sickness.
People just need to take account for their own actions, calling it a sickness is like saying it wasn't my fault it was the illness or condition i have, just another way of passing the blame i say.
it should be called as sickness because it always turn people to make and lose money there and they just addicting to it where they can lose money , Yes there are creating account for there own and for the purposes and many of them are really loosing and in the end blaming there selves why they lose such bit amounts of bitcoin.
I agree gambling is a disease and diseases caused is addictive, so whoever plays it will definitely be affected by the disease of addiction.
some facts of gambling is a disease as you can find out in some Asian countries, gambling is prohibited and could go to prison if they are caught playing gambling.

Gambling is a thing, and you have emotions... It's not gambling but you yourself and your emotions that let gambling catch your attention back again and again towards itself and let you come back every time you lose...
So, it ain't a sickness when you can't control yourselves...

I think we can not consider it as sickness because gambling is for fun and  entertainment and it is a business.. why people are considering it as sickness i think if someone are addicted you are considering it as sickness because they are addicted.

Its just a term for them and there is a treatment for that just go to psychiatrist and i think they can help you about your problem.

It is sickness for those people who have been addicted, Otherwise you are right, gambling is a fun game and give us entertainment, But in short, when we talk about gambling disadvantages then most of the people say Right. Only few peoples are here who know to handle it, and gambling is not sickness for them,
I believe many people are losing in gambling but  only few are considering it as a sickness, the outcome of our gambling depends on how we manage it and if we are gambling with lack of discipline for sure we will really lose in the end and might greatly affect our financial status in life, I hope that would not happen to us so we will not blame gambling.

I don't agree with that. To say that gambling is a sickness is something to say that alcohol is as well. Saying simple, we there are confusing the notions. To make it clearer we should use right word instead of wrongly used formulation of gambling as a sickness. Taken literally that's a mistake, taken figuratively that's a metonymy. Metonymy, as you all know, replaces a name of thing with another one, which is closely associated to the first. In this case literally we should say about a gambling addiction (as well as higher about alcoholism), figuratively we says about gamling in the place of gamling addiction.
Another metonymy of this kind is to say about a person, which has schizophrenia, that he/she is a sickness, not that mental disease. Accepted literally, it is a mistake. Hence, if a gamling addiction is a sickness and gamling itself is the same only figuratively (by a metonymy), then literally gambling should not be considered as a sickness.

Gambling is risky game of money from which most people lose and just a few wins. Gambling too is addictive and fun especially when you're winning and that's why most people can't get away from gambling once they get in it.
In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.

Yeah it is definitely a risky game,

It is not like you are always winning at start of it,
Sometimes everything is based on the luck of the gambler,

That is why if you want to win more than what you can lose,
then play those games that requires analytical skills, and a bit of luck, just like poker or other card games.
Gambling is pretty risky but I think that people should stop blaming gambling for the people that are addicted to it because they are choosing to gamble.
The people know what they are doing and know what lies behind there actions.

It is easy to say that we need to stop gambling, but the truth is, it is really hard to stay away in gambling for those who are really addicted into it. For me, most of the time gamblers can easily hooked in gambling because of the experience that we feels in it and the excitement also is surely will  make us get addicted especially when we win in gambling or we win a jackpot.

No its not a sickness but its also not something that is good of course, the fact is that gambling has a lot of downsides but it can also fix your life if you are asking me.
Some people are very happy because of it, I think its not a sickness at all people are doing it to themselves by themselves.

It's true that it's not a sickness but I doubt if it could fix life.. You have fun, yes? but that doesn't mean that those fun that you got while gambling would last long, it is only there for a moment, after that you will be back to thinking about earning money so that you'll have a fund to bet again... Imagine if that situation become a part of daily routine, so I could say that gambling is not a sickness but it's not a good way to fix your life or make your self happy...  Smiley

Its just a term for them and there is a treatment for that just go to psychiatrist and i think they can help you about your problem.

It is sickness only for those people who do not know to play and do not have skills to play but only want to earn money and for that they continuously lose their money and do not get anything in return.
Its just a term not a real sickness people are greedy thats why they are experience those addiction.. its just like a child that addicted on the game or toys.. we can not change  them unless if they can realize what they have done. psychiatrist is one who can give solution in this problem..

Yes, there are a lot of possibility for starving for food after facing gambling losses. Sickness of gambling is really coming from gambling losses. An addicted gambler definitely feel too hard to quit gambling so they are continuing their gambling and facing more losses. When gambling losses are going beyond some limit, gamblers are going for loans and making their problems more severe, that must be the enough situation for considering gambling to be a sickness.

Gambling is sickness if you re addicted gambler , losing your hard earned money and still coming back despite this. But if you gamble with small amount just for fun i don't think its so bad.

With gambling at the beginning everyone decides of placing small amount, but if winning take place then automatically mind becomes greedy and makes the gambler to go for big amount. This at times described as sickness as well addiction when the person doesn't have a mind to concentrate upon other activities similar to a day job.
Which is why people should be educated about the math’s in gambling, the possibility of earning big is there but more likely than not thanks to the house edge we must expect to lose money on the long run.

Yeah the house edge is really earning a lot of it and for me not the gambling itself is considered as sickness. But the gambling addiction is the one making a gambler being sicked.

And it is the sickness that is very hard to treat because there is no treatment for that kind of sickness.
I think that is why gambling addiction can be so difficult to treat, for example if someone is an alcoholic you will see that person drunk every day, but how do you know if a person just lose his house because of gambling, if you this person in the street , that person will not look any different than anyone else.

Well this is the hardest sickness to be treated because we don't have any medicine or cure if the person who has this sickness is not going to help either.

But for me, to those people who are still not yet addicted they can still able to avoid into falling to have a gambling sickness or addiction.

As we all know prevention is better than cure.
In a way you are right, since there is not a standardized procedure to get people out of their addictions and there is always the risk of falling again into an addiction.

that's the problem with addiction i think. quitting should be a continuous process. i know a lady in our neighborhood that went on bankruptcy and then was able to bounce back and then went back to gambling addiction. so i think once you've been addicted to gambling, there will always be times when you will be tempted to go back to what you were doing before. it's that hard really
