Topic: how can we make gambling as an accepted recreational activity like sports game? - page 2. (Read 1447 times)

Gambling can never be accepted as such a recreational sport due to a very simple reason. Generally all sports we play are based on some tactics and some kind of mental aur physical activity is required by the player which is what effects the outcome of sport. But gambling is sheer luck. Even if you say that I always win when I apply this tactic in gambling its still because of fate as there is no direct relation between the two. Moreover people spend money to win money on something whose outcome is based on fate. All this clearly depicts just one thing that gambling can't really be as popular as soccer or tennis.

but for people in the country that allowing gambling, they can gamble with free without breaking the law and they can play while they can enjoy the games too. I think in this country, people make gambling as their way to play the games as the recreational activity like sports game but they place a bet too. but I don't know about the taxes, how much they should pay the taxes.

Gambling is crime in terms of law but since more rich people push it because they want to enjoy their money, they make it legal thru help casinos. However the consequences of this gambling is to paid much higher taxes like beverages together with the cigarettes.

Maybe they make it because they want to control they people who become addicted in gambling.

By definition, gambling can fall under recreational activity since activities that involve recreation are often done for enjoyment, amusement, pleasure or simply put into something fun. However, what contradicts it is considering it as a sport since it doesn't involve any physical skill. It sometimes require mental skills but it doesn't count as a sport since it mainly depends on luck. There's a difference between recreational activity and sports and sadly gambling can't fall on both aspects.

Much as i would like to see this happen, i doubt it will ever be the case.  There some things that society just doesn't agree with and frown at, gambling unfortunately is one of those things.  The funny thing is, stock brokers are highly regarded in society due to the money they make, yet, in a simplistic way stock brokers are the biggest gamblers in society.   Gambling's reputation, rightly or wrongly also means that no matter how it changes, it'll most likely always be something that people do not want to publicly associate with.

Gambling will never be an accepted activity like sports because sports are pretty much free to participate in and free to watch also, whereas gambling costs money to participate in.

Also, it is considerably more stressful and can lead to bad things (for example losing your house, family if you are addicted) whereas addiction to sports is quite rare or nonexistent for the most part.

this option can make many websites last long and able to compete with other gambling web. I often visit many gambling websites, but only a few of them are able to maintain their existence to survive so as to keep their web visitors staying there

Most sports are played for mainly the fun of it alone but the same can't be said about bitcoins because we all know that the main reason why everyone gambles is to primarily make some money and maybe secondarily have fun whiles making money. Gambling can never be termed as a recreational activity.

Yes here in gambling it is all money matters. The involvement of money makes it distinctive from other sports or recreational activities. Like in sports the sportsmen playing are paid even if they lose, in gambling you one person has to be affected to the money. In recreational activities it is about winning the game not the money. The gamblers come with the idea to win or lose what he has. I think gambling and other recreational activities are different attitude wise. 

the best option is to add gambling options. If on a website adds an option about sports game/casino, or even an online game it would be a very fun site, which is not the focus of perfecting one game, but how to make people comfortable to berlama2, then some websites have to think of many free/giveaway and able to reach all ages as often as possible.

That is correct. Most of the people who gamble regularly are for money not for enjoyment because if they lose money then they can't enjoy so they will enjoy gambling only when they make money from this game. But sports is different you just go there to spend your time and get refreshed after playing those sports games.

Its not automatically addicting, the main argument against gambling as a sport type is that its actually in its purest form a type of maths.     It would have to be similar to spelling bee type competitions, probability analysis.   I have actually studied this type of mathematics for some years and its a valid subject but not exactly a sport as such.

It would have to be refined into a competitive sport, mental arthritic perhaps but just putting money down by itself isnt a sport exactly.   Poker could be argued as a sport perhaps, there are a few games where its arguable and in addition part of it is betting and not losing bank to other players.

That would be a bad idea I guess. Since gambling is addicting no matter how beautiful it will be taught or will recreated in a such. Though what makes it addiciting is money, Gambling without money is not even gambling at all (It's a quote I got from one of my partners) which somehow sums up the nature of the industry. We are greedy by nature even though we say that we can control ourselves their would still be time that we will be blinded with money, which is a bad side and conrtributes on why it is not a good idea, for gambling to be accepted.

Agree sort of it is more intense if there is a money involved to the game, they will like to won the pot money and at the same time they tend to prove their skills. Every game that has a money involve you can see those teams or those person that will really do their best to get the win and get the money. Though now it is difficult to do that though it could be a recreational activity because some of the people will not do it because it is illegal or other things that will matter most to them.

Recreational activity is something that you uses your ability, skills and mind during your leisure time. And it can be your hobby and aomething that will give you pleasure. I think it can't be compares with gambling because in gambling, yes there ia enjoyment but it is not something that makws worthy of your time. You can lose money and it can be addictive that can be negative to oneself.

I think it can be realized if all the players, bet on a small amount and play just for fun. It will make the game more enjoy, and not impressed there is intense competition between players.

recreational activities defy positivity and no stakes
offered but fully enjoyment and fun for the happiness of once
playing it,while gambling is totally different ..in gambling majority's
wanted to earn to make money.so how can we make gambling a
recreational activities when they are two different thing.

I would be happy if it is declared illegal and locked away from the lives of the people as the users who gamble ends up in its addiction(like drug). They can't quit gambling as they take loan and stuff to make the lost money back and again loose anything they got. Sports is something which makes us feel something good about ourself.

 In my opinion it is already a recreational activity but it depends on the person because if you follow the right things or even bad things, it's considered to be recreational. Using your time and efforts with the leisure feeling is already a recreational activity. People just lose a lot of money in gambling that they couldn't afford that's why it's somewhat considered a serious thing instead of just the activity.

I think it all depends on what kind of games you play. If you just stick to casino games, and it will always be seen as an addiction because you know you will lose since the odds are against you, so how can you explain why you are gambling? Also how can you say that spinning some dices or a roulette is fun and that you are only doing that for recreation.

Now if you go for skill games, like poker, then it can be seen as a recreational activity. People play poker for fun, like any card game, and they can choose to bet real money or to just play for fun. We you like to play a game both either for profit or just for fun, you can say it's like any other skill game or sports.

The same thing goes for computer games. There are professional player of CS, or LoL, dota, etc. We even call it e-sports, so it's recreational, but it can also be played for money and no one can blame you for doing that. The only problem right now is that besides professional players, it's very hard to find a place to play computer games for money. The good thing is that is about to change with the launch of the Bountie platform!

The Bounty platform will allow you to play e-sports games for money, and they will even have a matchmaking system to make sure the opponents you get are at your level. I think this will be huge for both, computer gaming and gambling.
