for other hardcore gamblers or those who consider gambling as an opportunity to earn some profit, I am sure they consider gambling as a threat but also a way of earning money.
but basing in my own experience gambling is fun. for me as a casual gambler that has some extra pennies to waste. gambling is a form of hobby that gives me comfort and keeps
my thoughts away from work that usually stresses me out and helps me clear my thought and continue my work after I finished gambling( I am a freelancer thus the reason why I
can gamble anytime I want). but I can't say that other casual gamblers feel the same.
Topic: Is gambling a threat or fun? - page 11. (Read 2943 times)
gambling is a threat for people that doesn't have self-control, its fun for the people that only play to consume free time. Just always gamble what you can afford to lose, No one wins the house.
It is not just a threat for them.
There are a lot of threats that gambling can do even to people who play it for fun. As long as they are gambling, it is a threat to them. No one knows what will happen but they can still end addicted to gambling.
It is only a matter of time when you get addicted. But all gamblers will be the same in the end. Gambling is a threat due to its psychological effect it gives to a person, it makes a gambler to play deeper even how hard he tries to control himself.
Not all of them though.
We can't really say that all of the people that are gambling will be addicted to gambling. It is a threat to them since the possibility of them getting addicted to gambling is there as long as they are gambling. I know a lot of people that are gambling and I can say that there is a chance that they will not be addicted but it will not be the same to all of us .
thats a good idea . setting a time for playing a gambling can limit us for getting addicted . no matter what amount you lost or win but as soon as your time limit expires you should quit on that asap . this strat is also used by pro gamblers ,pro gamblers that i see on youtube and on twitch. see ? if pro gamblers can limit thier selves then why cannot we ? we that are only regular gamblers . i know its hard to stop once we win or loose but we cant have both . on gambling we can only pick one side so that we can stop

Gambling is fun until you start gambling a lot of money.
If you start doing that then this becomes a thread for your health and your relatives because you don't risk your own money but also your family's money.
Agree. If someone you love got already involved in with the money you lose then this could be a threat not just only for you but also for your family. They will be come obsessed to gamble more money they have. They must control themselves before the problem becomes bigger, and they can't manage themselves before can commit a crime. If you start doing that then this becomes a thread for your health and your relatives because you don't risk your own money but also your family's money.
Gambling could become a threat only if we don't know how to deal with it right.
AGREE It was made for fun and entertainment but most people see it as a shortcut to getting rich and to being successful.
I guess only few as when they experience losing, they'll not think of becoming rich in gambling. Most people IMO are just gamble to enjoy and winning is just bonus them.
If we'll not know how to control our emotions towards it, it will be the one to control us instead. It's just a matter of self-discipline because if we'll focus too much on gambling and if we'll rely our necessities on it, it will surely destroy us and it could also take away everything that we have.
It should not be an IF since it's a must that everyone before they start gambling should be knowledgeable of the game and its risk, and they are matured enough in managing themselves.

Then you need to have control over yourself because that will be the only way to prevent you from spending a lot of money. You can have fun in gambling, but you must remember that gambling can also become a threat when you can not limit yourself so you should know when enough is enough. We don't need to risk our money especially if that money is for our family, but the fact is some people cannot resist themselves in gambling and keep trying to playing gambling because they want to feel more winning.

If someone gambles with all his/her money without thinking about the risks, it means he/she is a stupid gambler. Every gambler needs good self-control to not doing a stupid thing. There are many cases that gamblers trapped in loan/debt due to weak self-control. Finally, he/she never wins the gambling unless got more and more loan/debt.

In regards to being a threat, I'd compare gambling to sugary drinks, such as Coca-Cola, for instance. Yes, it's a threat when you are overusing it, but, also, it can brighten up your life when used moderately. Should all people stay away from sugary beverages because it is very harmful for some of them? No. The same applies to gambling. But awareness should always be there. People must fully understand the risks.
It depends on the person. It's a threat to persons with addictive personalities that see gambling as a way to generate an income, but it's fun for people who gamble for entertainment & within reason and know when to stop.
In my opinion, it all depends on whether a passion for gambling hurts every single person and people around him.
The main problem is that the object inside the system is not capable of adequately assessing its position and the circumstances in which it is located.
Thus, a person with a predilection for gambling is far from always able to objectively assess the problem if it exists.
So, to the last he can consider that there is no problem and continue to adversely affect himself and others.
People calling gambling as a financial threat is an idiot because gambling is a personal choice of yours, what threat must be is the greediness and broken mindset.
Gambling is actually a massive financial threat and anyone calling facts can't be called as an idiot. yes it's our choice as gamblers whether to gamble or not but only in the starting similar to smoking, drinking they are not threats according to you? Since we are the one who decides if we want to smoke or not? Life doesn't work like that mate.Once you are into addiction you won't know why you are gambling and how deep a hole you are digging, I request you at least visit a few videos including the one I mentioned about gambling addiction.
Gambling is not a threat and will never be a threat.
Just please for once have a look at this video and you will realize how big a thread gambling is and how it must be taken seriously.I am someone who takes gambling articles/videos very seriously and you will be moved by Justyn's story.

Losing control while gambling is what makes it a threat when you do not how to stop and when to stop, this will make gambling a threat but if you can schedule your gambling activity and you only use money that is allocated for gambling only, this is fun and you will enjoy, winning or losing the game.
Completely agree with the first part of the post because it's a threat once you start loosing control over your gambling and it becomes an addiction once you know you are into problem gambling but yet cannot stop yourself.I would disagree though on the other part as gambling can never be fun because gambling can only be fun when you are winning, no matter how controlled a gambler we are but when we loose we all feel stressed because let's be honest the initial thought was to make some money now even if we know we haven't lost too much but then loosing any amount can't be fun at least not for me.

Gambling is one of the best things we need to do right now if we are looking for fun because some of the people it satisfied their desires to play cards, pokers and more and many people getting addicted on this and some of them want to play with extra profit too. Still, it does not fast as we know because there are a lot of processes needed before we can get a lot of knowledge in a specific game. First, we need to find out which game is suitable for us and next focus on that game if you want or explore more. After that, you need to take some time to study well and get a lot of information you can use to into your future games if you think you are ready now you can play into gambling casino or online gambling that some of them are supporting the use of cryptocurrency know. It is fun if you think you can will all of your games and get a lot of money but always make sure you monitored your self and aware how many you win or lose because sometimes getting greedy makes to push to losing and having a mistake but sometimes being confident and optimistic can help you to earn more profit. It depends on the player how they manage to play to win more profit and getting fun or lose and be a threat of having to lose a lot of money.

You know what's the problem here, man? The addiction and not the gambling itself. Well, we could do worst things outside gambling world, we can even commit crime just to obtain such stuff we badly want, and it is because of the greedy behavior we have, it is the addiction that ate us, and made us blinded to do the right action.
The problem is not that simple as you might see it from the outside world, being a gambler myself let me explain you why I am saying that. You say that if we have greed about something we would do even crime for it, but that's not how gambling starts.Most of us including me when we first get into gambling it feels like an easy opportunity to earn some extra money just because we feel confident about our luck and picks, let me make it very CLEAR, I am talking about sports betting here.
Now the problem is once you loose money in gambling you start loosing more to recover and soon you are into debts even before you realize and that's when you are bound to do wrong/criminal activities because you just need the money to pay debts.
It's like you wanted to buy a car but won't kill someone to buy it, but you gamble and think you can win enough and then you loose more and more then forget the car then you have to commit something wrong to just pay off debts.
Huh. Gambling only becomes a threat to people who doesn't know the word 'control.' For the most part, gbling is usually harmless and brings a lot of fun and brings a lot of money to the table and jobs for people. The addicted ones made themselves a slave to gambling and to money, that's why they can't seem to get out of it. Saying gambling is a threat to gamblers is like saying scuba gear is a threat to scuba divers which literally makes no sense. Without gambling, there wouldn't even be gamblers in the first place!
It's a psychological thing really, and depends much on the capability of the person to resist temptation to gamble hard and lose money in the process, nothing to do eith gambling simply existing in the economy.
I am just stating my opinion about gambling mate, We are all different, we have different perception and definition in life, well, I have seen so many people that are already destroyed their life because of gambling, so what do you call about that thing? It is a threat to them—especially those people who lost their properties and most of their money because of gambling. So if you do not see gambling as a threat for you, then that is good, but do not say that it is not a threat because how can you say about those people that lost everything because of it? Please do not make yourself as a basis of everything. We are all different. It's a psychological thing really, and depends much on the capability of the person to resist temptation to gamble hard and lose money in the process, nothing to do eith gambling simply existing in the economy.
You are right in your thoughts about the fact that you cannot compare everyone with yourself. But there is one nuance, each person can talk about something only through the prism of his own experience.
Thus, when we talk about any things and objects, events and phenomena, we always pass them through the filter of our own perception.
Thus, we are always subjective and always talk about ourselves even when we mean other people. These are the principles of the brain.
Some people think that gambling is threat because they always lose everytime they gamble. And some think its for fun because they gamble only to enjoy and some they gamble to forget their problems. So there are 2 different people in gambling one think that gambling is threat the one is think gambling is for fun.
It shows that both can be the reason for all of us.The threat comes if the results are all negative and it's fun if you see the moment you gamble as having fun or whether you are losing, you're having fun still.
