Topic: Importance of Gambling to the society - page 13. (Read 2826 times)

Gambling at been in existence for a very long time and it had been making people make bets and win money depending on there lucks and how they have strategize enough to make winnings. The pattern of gambling keep changing with time whereby new things come in to renew gambling activities and make live better for people that are interested in it. In the society now because of region, many people are seeing gambling like an activity that is not reckon by God but that's not a problem because everyone has there own believe which we don't need to discriminate.

It is a gambler's own responsibility to take the necessary measures that can make them have some limits on their gambling activities so that they don't waste all their money and destroy their lives just because of gambling because as you said, a person who gets addicted to gambling tends to become reckless and don't take any other responsibility which makes them keep going towards more destruction in life, they will leave their families, sell everything they have, and start giving all their time and money to their addiction towards gambling.

And, when someone is addicted to gambling, they don't see or hear reasoning, they don't listen to anything others are telling them about what they are doing, and they will keep doing what they think is right without even acknowledging that they are actually stuck in a problem and they need to come out.

From a tax perspective, if all billionaires were required to pay their taxes, a lot of money would go into the state treasury which could finance the economy or at least be returned to the people by improving public facilities and for the people. That is an improvement for a country, especially if the country can get taxes from all industries, including the tax industry because this tax industry has a lot of income. For citizens who have salaries, there may be an equalization or difference in the amount of tax that must be paid because many citizens still do not have large salaries but are required to pay taxes. This certainly burdens them because they also have to fulfill their daily needs.

However people who use crypto are still required to pay taxes even though the government has not issued an official statement supporting or rejecting crypto. According to them, what the people get in this case is profit, the government should be able to get it too so this gives the impression that if people get income from the internet, they are also required to pay a certain amount of tax. Nowadays, almost everything can be taxed by the government and we as ordinary citizens, cannot refuse it and must follow the regulations made by the government. So the presence of the gambling industry in society can have both good and bad effects, but as long as people cannot control themselves in gambling, they will only get the bad effects.

Yes, they lie about the numbers easily, especially since they have hired someone who is an expert in changing the numbers that should be written on their tax reports into numbers that have been reduced so that they don't have to pay high taxes. However, citizens who are honest in their tax reporting must pay taxes as stated in the report.

They have not been able to be a good role model of honesty even at any time as long as there is still a desire to have a lot of money from various sources but don't want to spend a lot of taxes. They must be charged by law and punished very severely because they have harmed the country, especially the small people who have to bear the heavy burden. And yes, they should be kicked out of office and not allowed to pursue a career in politics forever or be sentenced to life in prison. But is anyone able to do it?

Gambling is frowned upon in most societies. In addition to various ruling groups modern capitalism is closely related to the organization of gambling for commercial purposes. With the continuation of social change gambling has become a modern product. In a capitalist society various businesses are trapped by capitalizing on potential through direct or indirect state approval. From individual actions to institutional as well as state action depends on the possibilities of opportunity in this process society quickly becomes a vulnerable society.

We can say, there are other vices that are harmful to human beings, particularly those who are abusing such vices.
It depends on the degree how addicted the person is to a specific vice. That will truly affect his personal life as well as his family.
Now, it is up to you how will you manage your vice to have at least the small impact in terms of your health and finances.
Gambling may not be harmful to your health, if you know how to contain your activities but if someone is already too deep in this vice,
he can very well subject himself to other vices while gambling, such as drinking or smoking, which is actually common to most gamblers.
But on the note that gambling is important to the society, it definitely is. Just consider the taxes that go to the government vaults.

The weird thing I am not entirely certain about is that there are things that ruin your health and kill you which is legal and gambling is not. I do agree that gambling does hurt people, I am not saying that gambling is good for you and you should gamble and the whole humanity should start to gamble or something like that.

But drinking kills people, it could be from liver failure, it could be from drunk driving, it could be a lot of reasons, or smoking kills you as well, not only you but poisons people around you as well, cancer is one of the most common reasons for death. When you compare "would I rather lose my life or my money?" the answer should be your money, I rather gamble and lose all of my money, even my home and my job and everything, but be alive, being alive is better than anything else. So, gambling is a lot less hurtful than smoking or drinking and for some reason those are legal and gambling is not. That never made sense to me.

In fact, you have brought up a very important point about tax dodging and corruption among high-level government officials. Like a rigged poker game where the manager decides who wins, these people who don't pay their taxes are making sure that they never lose. They lie about the numbers and use their ties to get away from the law. That's crazy

By doing this, they go against the whole point of government. Those at the top should be good models of honesty, not people who use system flaws to get ahead. Punishments should be swift and harsh; being easy on people sends the wrong message. They should be taken off the table and made illegal for good, just like a bettor who counts cards

Still, let's not paint everyone with the same brush because some people are good. But I get it; why play the game if the house is rigged?

If a country declares that gambling is legal and there are clear regulations from that country then the gambling place will of course be beneficial for the local community because they will provide quite a large amount of taxes which will be enjoyed by the community again through construction and development.
But this will not happen in a country that considers and makes regulations that all gambling activities are illegal or activities that violate the law. Most of these gambling places will operate secretly and bribe someone or a group of powerful people so that their business can continue even though it is illegal. So it could be said that there was no contribution felt by the community, but their contribution was only felt by a few ruling groups.

Well, from the point of view of taxes, I agree that certain activities are taxed to people, but we all know that those who are billionaires say that they have certain NGO organizations, well they get rid of that, those who are millionaires they seek to reduce their taxes as much as possible and apart from that what they do is find a way so that no tax is charged, with similar organizations, now, the common citizen, the one who has a salary, the one who plays in casinos occasionally and who has a very limited salary, with that citizen they don't have any kind of contemplation, well, it's the system, I'm not saying anything, but when it comes to online casinos, about crypto technology, governments shouldn't get involved, and they shouldn't They should give you no tax at all.

Better than crypto technology, bitcoin to be more specific was developed so that it did not have any type of impact on governments or third parties, so why do they have or feel they have the right to have to charge a tax that does not make sense to me ? The worst thing is that there are people who support having a tax for this, and it is the truth, I have seen how some say, if I agree that for using crypto than for using a casino and for using it I must pay bitcoin, uh huh and why ? do you feel so caged? I play in a crypto casino, with bitcoin or with any crypto and if the government wants to charge me a tax, I'll take my finger off, I don't do it, because I don't want to and because they won't force me, sometimes we as people we must be quite irreverent to be able to have things as they are, it is hardly a game, I am not saying anything that they charge taxes for having to play in a FIAT casino, where they have to use bank accounts, credit cards, where it is known that everything is quite controlled and that they know what movement they made, and sometimes they have the nerve to ask the origin of the funds, so the taxes in this case should not be met, well it is my criteria, my way of thinking.

Those who know our limits can control ourselves so we don't get caught in big losses. I'm not hypocritical like gambling but I have certain basic limits so that I'm not like the others. the environment is not wrong, but we have an environment where we can interact and learn, these mistakes become our limits. Seeing people affected by self-made disasters makes me feel sorry for them and I don't want the same thing

In most countries, tax money is still differentiated including those who are millionaires and billionaires and the taxes given to them are very large. However, some still try to reduce the amount of tax that must be paid by reducing the amount of their income so that they do not pay the tax they should. This still happens a lot, especially for government employees who are already at the middle and even upper levels. They are not ashamed to do that because they are innocent in that regard but in the eyes of the law, what they are doing is wrong. And they should be punished as severely as possible and removed from their positions while the state takes their property. But those caught in this matter were not punished severely but instead received leniency because they were still in contact with officials higher than them to get leniency.

Yes and maybe you are not the only one who thinks so, to be honest I also feel a little concerned about some (gamblers) who end up in a slump, as you said they have lost almost all or even all of their valuables. So I don't think gambling is important for society at all, it just adds more problems for them. Everyone has greed especially about money, they come with the aim of multiplying the money they bring but in the end yes as we know they will lose again with an amount that may be greater than before, it is very likely to happen. Therefore you must think healthy if you want to gamble, this is just an act for fun, don't overdo it especially by putting ambition or great expectations.

Honestly, I don't understand why they depend their lives on gambling which is only about luck, this does not improve but instead adds more problems to our economy.

Curing addiction is something a very common problem on this kind of industry on which it could really be particularly be solved out by yourself but since each person does have that different level of tolerance when it

comes to addiction then outcome and situation would really very on each individual on which it would really be that a common approach. Getting cured? You would really be finding yourself to be able to cure out
if you are really that willing on doing so and its not really that necessary on touching up spaces for you to seek out some help.This would be only your last resort because not all would really be having that kind of control and awareness of things around on what they should gonna do.

Speaking about taxes and its application and the people who are behind on trying out to utilize its users on outmost worth usage then its true that we are living on a world on whose government would really be
totally different in each other which there are some who are really that serious on building out their economic good as possible via applying out on building infrastructures and other possible economic
add-ons for them to be able to have that kind of good effect for everyone and there are to those ones who do love on corrupting on their countries purse which its not really
that shocking anymore.

Do you know that some people who is addicted in gambling doesn't know that they are being dragging back with gambling, to gamble is good to extent but if you take much step on it that will make you not to lose concentration on other things and that is the problem of people who have not achieve anything started from, when you are addicted in gambling you are just destroying yourself why you don't know and before you will realize as a gambler it will be too late, so if at least we have measurements or plans on the Gamble we play, that will be better, but right now we don't have.

Of course, it would be great if all those politicians and bankers who determine tax rules would always calculate the optimal percentage of taxes  for citizens and would set different tax rates for different income levels.   Especially taxes for millionaires and billionaires, which should be much higher, I think, than for ordinary citizens.  Unforunately, this is not the case in all countries of the world.  And in most countries of the world, no tax money is allocated for development and maintenance of rehabilitation centers for treatment of gambling addivtion.  There is simply no money left for this.  In addition, there is always corruption in state regulators around the world, and even if such money is allocated, then most of this money can simply be stolen by corrupt officials and businessmen.  So I think it's up to family members to solve problems with gambling addiction.  But this is a complex issue and it is not known how it will turn out.  Can the person be cured?  Its unknown...

This is just a collateral for using gambling while a user can’t handle addiction. No one will suffer this same fate if they only knew how to self control since not all gambler experience the same instances despite playing same games. It’s all about how people handle responsible gambling and people with weak mind should avoid playing.

I believe those person that destroy their lives by playing gambling will eventually experience that same fate even if they don’t gamble since the problem is inside them that means they can still do it in different ways.

This environment with several people who are miserable because of slot gambling makes me feel sorry, because those who have everything disappear in just a few months to the divorce of husband and wife because of the economy. Men prioritize slot gambling to the point that they forget to take off their main responsibility as a husband's duty.

Exactly. My thought about gambling casino is mostly their target customer are the elite ones or the rich to play so the money could circulate back into the economy. Due to most casinos here in my place are mostly placed in a pricey places. Of course anyone's free to play and also gambling has already helped a lot of people from winning if they loss they could take it as a lesson which is a win-win situation. Also from my experience, it could also gives you connection to other people as well, having fun and good game with other people causes you to interact with them and having a conversation. Now I know someone in the higher up that can assist me whenever I'll try to take care of important papers.

Gambling is one of the tax generators of a country among all the other businesses that pay taxes as well. It contributes to the economy of a country specifically those places that have a couple good casino establishments that are also being used as tourist spot and must-go-to places of the travelers. One good example is Las Vegas in Nevada that caters so many gambling spots for the tourists and even the locals.

Regarding learning from other people's environment, yes, I agree that that is one of the good ways to understand something without deeply exploring on your own. That way, you can save yourself from the troubles that others have gone through because you knew it from their experience first-hand.

Yes that's right, in any problem or thing the environment is very influential and we can start learning from there, if someone around us makes fatal mistakes that can make his life miserable then of course we should not do the same. Like this gambling, many of them (gamblers) have experienced the downturn in their lives, but strangely there are still new people who come to do the same thing. But yes, I understand that the lure of the big winnings that are there are quite tempting for us, so many new people come and they are candidates who will feel how difficult the consequences of addiction are. For the government itself, I think it depends on whether or not gambling is allowed in a country, because if it is not allowed then maybe the government will also not give casino access there, even though the taxes they will pay may be quite high but the government should not use it just for money. In addition, in my opinion, the community will also definitely not agree if casinos are legalized in their country because the impact will definitely be very large, it will be very dangerous for the community's economy. Like you said, it will only add to the problem.
