It really depends on the person itself. People are influenced by their environment but the most deciding thing is the self control of the individual.
Gambling is gives you multiple opportunity to learn from your mistakes. If you don't it's a threat to your economy and mental health.
If you can, it's a good way to have fun, socialize and stay occupied.

Therefore I conclude that rather than asking if gambling is a threat or fun, it would be better to say that it is both to settle the argument because yes, of course it depends on a certain person on how gambling treats him every single day, if he wins always then it is fun, and the other way around, just like that. We can't say we're having fun if we always lose our money on it, well maybe you could, but again, it will depend on your social status.

Gambling winnings should be considered as the passive income, otherwise the addiction will cover the social status with beating the other factors. Thinking just like that leads to fired from job and the gambler can lose the monthly salary. If he/she cares and feels nothing, gambling is the biggest threat for his life. There is a invisible limit for fun in gambling, not everyone is able to see this.

Apart from all that, gambling will still be an attempt for gamblers to make a profit and indeed, it all depends and goes back to the intentions of each different individual but basically, no gambler wants to get a threat from gambling and therefore gambling is basically for generate profit even though you think of it as entertainment and for fun but it all depends on how you manage it, because when you can't manage it well then gambling might make a threat to your life.

Agree, it always depend and people that usually play gambling don't want threat from it. People are avoiding threats but at the same time staying at the place where a threat is possible to happen. People are still being optimistic that they can earn and be entertained on gambling, they remove the threat on their mind 'cause they're enjoying on it.

It's like the law of attraction, if you want to have some fun and don't want to gain any problems, think it as for entertainment and just enjoy it.

I know that many articles have been written about it. But gambling should not get out of hand.
Only play with money you can afford to miss. But I can imagine that it is difficult for people who are sensitive to addiction.
Of course, gambling should be fun, not obsession or coercion.

When we say about fun about gambling, it will only occur at your first game by the next day you still want to play then it's not for fun anymore. by that time you are changing the course of your life by letting yourself falling addicted to this thing. When you are doing it every day, I think there's no other thing to call for it except addiction. If it is overdone, there will be some bad consequences.

Think always your family, focus on them instead of focusing on gambling because your family is the best thing you have in this world, you will lode your connection or relation to your family if you are only focused on gambling.

In anything we do, our family should be our first priority, even if we are making money in gambling.
For me, If I have the skills, I would do everything to make myself profitable so I can give my family a good life where I have a financial freedom.

Gambling is full of excitement, risk and fun and also this kind of business we can make a lot of earning regarding with this kind of sideline or extra job but still always be conscious about the thing happens into the world of gambling not all the time we can win all of our income and profit sometimes we are facing in the dark days of our gambling plays, sometimes when we experience this the conscience are running up to your mind like why do I lose this game instead of buying a lot of things I need like even in your family that you can help a lot like buying things to support your financial still at the end you will realize your mistakes.

Gambling becomes a threat when it stops being fun. It stops being fun when you are dependent on it and start losing vast sums of money you can't afford to lose or if you truly need gambling to earn money that you desperately need. It's binary, one or the other and there's a fine line separating the two.

Well said mate, you are the only one to choose whether its to be fun or to be threat on you. There are so many ways for us to let this gambling only for fun. Do not include gambling for your daily routine, stop playing everyday, you may play twice a week something like that to avoid being addicted on it because when you get addicted on it then it will become threat for you.

Think always your family, focus on them instead of focusing on gambling because your family is the best thing you have in this world, you will lode your connection or relation to your family if you are only focused on gambling.

loosing money is not fun but what about your playing for fun only ? you still need to put a capital and wouldnt care at all when you loose . you desperately need the money but why gambling is the first thing that come to your mind ? there must be something wrong with you . many possible ways out there to earn without needed to put a capital . gambling have the two element which is fun and profit , so i dont agree that they are seperate like what you have said . you can do them or choose one depending on your preference .

The biggest problem is that I think every gambler (even an addicted one) will say that gambling is fun for them. That's because almost all addicts can't or won't admit that they have an addiction.

It's not just about the gambler. Gambling is fun for almost everyone n the plant of earth. The addicts will understand about the addiction, but only when they are fallen info it and can't even help themselves to stop it like falling into swamp.

Yeah, that's true. For an addict it's really hard to admit that they have a problem. And even when they do admit it, then it's already late. But then there should be family and friends who will help an addict to fix his problem.

I'm afraid you're wrong. Having a mindset like that is the lamest excuse ever, you don't have to spoil yourself to anything and the latter part would be on your family if you ever get addicted to gambling. We have to be mature in everything, not everyone is willing to help us especially if we are the one who brought the problem to ourselves, we have to solve it on our own to learn some lessons.

Also, other gamblers (the addicted ones) never ask for help, they just pursue what they think is "right" (pun intended) as long as they do have the money to do so, until it wore them out.

~snip~ But when it becomes too often, than that person is an addict. The same is with gambling. If it's occasionally, than it's fun. But if it's too often and if gambler spends a lot of money, then it stops being fun and becomes a problem.

That is where we can conclude that gambling addiction is a real threat if done for the long term, and becomes a momentary pleasure if played for the short term.
Said to be a threat because of gambling addiction it does not really provide wealth but stress in the end.
Likewise for a moment of fun at gambling players, as long as playing at a reasonable level everything will be fine.

Maybe addicted gamblers think that gambling is fun, but when the game stops what stays? If he spent
money for food and other family needs? What if he spend entire savings? Will it be fun? I don't think so!
My opinion is still the same, addicts and potential addicts don't think about consequences of their gambling,
they are ego maniacs! And that is the biggest problem, they only think their own fun for a short time!
Normal person would never do something to hurt his closest ones! Addicts only think about their own addiction!
I believe it's same with drug addicts, but I don't know that for sure, I never tried drugs.

I agree! Nothing is special with gambling addiction. It's like any other - drug, alcohol, cigarette or any other addiction. Drinking alcohol too can be fun if a person drinks occasionally. But when it becomes too often, than that person is an addict. The same is with gambling. If it's occasionally, than it's fun. But if it's too often and if gambler spends a lot of money, then it stops being fun and becomes a problem.

Yeah, unfortunately there are many gamblers still difficult to have good self-control. They always dream to win after put more money, and they believe if doing more attempts, then the chance to win higher. In theory they are right but in fact they just get more losses. I think in this case, they need the role of family and their closest people to advice them.

And where self-control comes from? I think some people just don't wish to learn to be patient, to
have self-control and to not be greedy! It's something you get from experience and rethinking about
consequences of your actions! Clearly some people are ego maniacs, they think only about their own
satisfaction!
Gambling should be fun! It's something we all agree with! But for some people and their close ones
gambling can be a threat! I am in the first group, for me gambling is fun activity, and I think it's ok
to gamble from time to time with money you can afford to lose!

The biggest problem is that I think every gambler (even an addicted one) will say that gambling is fun for them. That's because almost all addicts can't or won't admit that they have an addiction.

I am pretty sure that even if a person with a financial status of spending 20 dollars a month or week, they will still play and bet higher than that if they win consecutively. That is how gambling works, you have money, you play in order to make the most out of it. So, it is impossible to just waste that exact certain amount.

It's not impossible with discipline, let's say you are gambling with a fix bankroll of $100 and you'll stop right away once you lose everything, then that is a real discipline, I know some people can do that but us who can't maybe say its impossible.

Quote from: Debonaire217 on April 15, 2020, 12:05:18 AM

Sometimes, if we are winning too much and still continue to gamble, all of our funds could be lost, there are instances that it pushes us to borrow money and in that way I can consider gambling as a threat. Mainly, fun with the experience at the start, but a threat to consider in the end.

This is already out of your plan, when you set up a bankroll you start gambling and you think of stopping when you lose, but when you borrow money after such effect then that tells you'll be at a higher risk as a gambler.
