Yes, it should be considered as sickness. It has been proven now that gambling is more addictive and has same if not more negative effect on persons lives which are facing this sickness. It is silent killer which doesn't let its victim to know that he has fallen into this. Every gambler think he can quit whenever will want but time proves him wrong.

I am still surprised this thread about "gaming being a sickness" is still ongoing. I am pretty sure the OP meant sickness=addiction and everybody here is comparing it to having a disease.
I think sickness way better than addiction, this is something like a possibility that may result to addiction but still this two is not good for you wether the effect is worst or not.

I think so addiction is nothing just sickness of mind, gambling is always bring some bad effect on our life, but it is hard to realize that how addictive that is, even people is just ruining their life for hope to get recover all their loses one day.
Your sickness of mind could also be your sickness in body. That is how dangerous gambling addiction is, when you are addicted you have no peace of money and your sleep will be affected as all in your mind is just gambling. Take it from me I have experienced that.

LOL! you don't get the point here, because of addiction we see gambling as sickness. Sickness is a negative word while addiction could be good or bad as we can also be addicted and win most of the time at the same time. Addiction and sickness on the other hand comes together and that would always result to a negative situation.

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.

Gambling itself isn't a sickness, just like having a beer, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, having sex, lifting weights etc. are not sicknesses.

However, if you keep doing it to the point where it ruins your life (whatever it may be), your addictive behavior is a sickness, not gambling itself.

Gambling is just a game that involving money. I don't also think that gambling is considered a sickness. it is depend on a person who is playing it and  you were right that addictive behavior is a sickness.
How someone could invest money in something unstable as a gambling, where everything depends on chance? I don't think that gambling is a sickness, though I do not accept gambling as some sort of investment. That is only a game, just some fun and not a job.

Thats true, gambling is just for fun and not a job that you can make money every month. It is also depends on luck. And if you are lucky enough, then you will get good profit in gambling. Smiley
But your luck isn't a thing that may be stable long enough. It's not a skill that allows get money, but hardly noticeable intuition that passes very quick. Yes, you'll get good profit if you are lucky, but you are lucky only now and in a minute later you may easily loose all you get by your 'luck'.
The key to win is always consistency, your luck will dictate you to gamble more because you are empowered to do so because of beginners luck, never trust luck to make your method improve.

yes I know that not all the time luck is always there for us so when you are lucky in that day and you win once and you get big amount then I guess you need to stop it from there. because as you said in a minute later you may easily loose all you get by your 'luck'. So be careful of what you wish for. and Knows our limitations.
The reality is we don't know how to stop if we don't have a goal on winning amount, it's like we are operating a business without a direction so for a gambler to be successful he should have a proper plan to implement it.
I don't think we need a proper plan in gambling, I think all we need is to have a self-discipline so if we think that we are always losing we must know when to stop from betting.

I agree to this topic. Gambling should be considered as a sickness because many people never stop with it anymore and I think its very wrong to gamble also since they keep losing money . If they can't control their selves then it's a sickness.
Yes in gambling controlling our Mindset is very important. And one more thing doesn't be Greedy in gambling. If you show greed in gambling, then I am sure you will get lose. So for this kind of people The Gambling is considered as sickness.
gambling is not a sickness at all, that would be the same like calling smoking a sickness, it is just an addiction and it is normal as people want money
Gambling is not a sickness for a person who knows how to manage it, and I think that would be the same even in drugs cause if you know how to do drugs by controlling yourself, you will never be addicted and you will never call drugs as a sickness.

It is just a matter of doing all this in a responsible way to do it right.

If you let emotions and greed dictate the way you gamble then you have high chances to mess up your life. Control emotions and reserved it when you already cash out your profits

That is a different thing for sure, gambling is just a temporary sickness because we just lose not all the time and that is also temporary. However, if you are having a problem in gambling like you lose all the time then for you it could be a sickness but for others might be a different case.

What you say is true ..?? . What you don't feel that every time you use in doing is gambling that can make you lose your mind while possessing a greed ..?? . I do not believe if you do the gambling without the greedy, unless you're one of those people who has a strong establishment

You are right with it, the right word must be addiction in gambling is considered as sickness not the gambling itself. Because gambling is a kind of

entertainment where you need to put some capital in able to enjoy the game with some winnings if you are going to be lucky.

Addiction really is a syndrome.

In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.

I don't think the palying for fun or for profit with gambling game is a sickness.   This is normal I think but something extreme isnt normal and is bad for everyone around it.  So I can say that there should be qualification where you can consider gambling as sickness but still the term sickness isnt right for it.  Disease should be the right term.
Gambling is business its not a sickness or desease.. they are just saying that this is desease because if they are addicted its very hard to threat those sickness..

It is sickness only for those people who couldn't control them-self. Gambling is a game, and it give us fun and entertainment but when people become greedy and also they want to get money in a one chance so gambling become dangerous and sickness for them. So play the gambling as a game than it never give you sickness.

I think gambling is a kind of situation that you have to take risk to gain something.  Everyone actually is gambling their way to meet their needs in daily lives.  As for the gambling game, it is an entertainment for people who are bored.  And I don't see gambling as sickness.  Gambling addiction is a disease that ruins peoples life and it needs to be treated.

Gambling is not a sickness itself.  We the people's makes gambling as a sickness of our lives. Example,  Balanced diet = Good and stable health. ( but we makes our health sick by having cigarettes,  alcohol, etc. ) . So , if you will avoid or don't be a victim of greed , how you will play gamble . ?
That’s true, I agree with this, Gambling itself is not really a sickness, we are the once who are actually responsible in our self and we are the once who get addicted in gambling that makes it a sickness, addiction in gambling is a sickness BUT NOT GAMBLING ITSELF.

well maybe gambling can be classified as a business, but I guess it was not a promising business. although the gains could be very much, but the risk of losing the money you have is also very large. but I guess gambling also can not be regarded as a sickness, because it is a person's habits or hobbies.

Do you mean playing games is a business?

I think no, gambling is not a business , it is just a source of entertainment and created for the fun of people, while it is business only for those who are the owners of these gambling sites and casinos etc.

In short, we can conclude the byproducts of gambling like greediness and addictions must be considered as sickness which was we are getting from gambling. Because both greedy and addictions will not let you to control your gambling on your way of preference. But, definitely will end up you in losses. So, considering them as weakness/sickness at least would spread some awareness to avoid them.
