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.

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.

I think this is a very superficial argument. Gambling is a problem when you cannot live without them. If you really need to gamble in order to feel good, then this really can be called a problem.
A healthy person, free from any addictions, is able to stay in a good mood both physically and psychologically, without any additional factors.

Gambling is not a threat and will never be a threat. 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. Threat is far from risk, risking is having the potential to loss on which the gambling instance will fall onto. Gambling is fun yeah, but sometimes there are moment that fun isn't there at all, risking is fun but seeing it losing is not. Gambling is not for everyone, what is for everybody is just entertainment playing. As everyone says " Just roll what you are afford to lose", there's nothing of threat in that.

Gambling could be both of what you asked, it can be threat and also fun. Threat when you lose everything in gambling and you have become addicted but you can also gambling for fun if you only playing rarely and just kill times only

Now that is what we need when there is free time and cold money, so it is not a problem to gamble because it can be used to have fun and seek good luck on a good day, while those who are addicted will lose all of them, especially from your savings money will run out because they continue to play gambling no stopping.
So do well and do your time as much as possible not to gamble for every moment.

I definitely agree that gambling is fun and yes, it could be a big threat to an individual once it is starting to get addicted to it. But, I think, it can be controlled IF that individual has a discipline and that person knows that it can stop on playing. And also, I think it is important to seek help to have precaution on playing and not having too much risk financially and physically, just to be specific. In my experience on gambling, on my first games, I always tried to do ALL-IN, I tried taking risk on my money, but when I hit rock bottom, I tried to get some advice on my friends and also gradually gambling. Now, I know what to do and how to play my money very well while also having fun.

Indeed, there are some persons that considered gambling as fun. It happens because we are all different from each other. We have all different perceptions of life. Gambling will only become a threat when someone is already addicted to it because if you get addicted to any gambling site, then it may destroy your life. You won't be able to do some productive things because gambling is the only thing you want to do, but I am sure that if you can control yourself and your mind even you are always gambling, then it is impossible that you will be addicted on it. The thing is we should stop gambling when we feel that it slowly destroy us.

if you are playing for the first time it's a threat because you are facing a situation where you will have to decide on how you are going to react as a gambler and this is not easy for new gambler, but once you overcome this and you build a character and you are in control on how you gamble, then it become fun.

I disagree with you. It seems to me that when we start something new, we get a lot of positive emotions due to fresh impressions and some hopes. But after we become experienced (especially in gambling), then the hopes mostly disappear Grin

A threat or fun? The point on how good you can control yourself. @KrisAlex18, you actually have answered in your OP. People who can control themselves can make gambling as a fun source. While people who have less self-control will be threatened addicted to gambling. So, the question should be "how to make people can control their selves?" In my opinion, to have good self-control, someone needs to make a certain strategy such as limit their funds, limit the time to play gambling, aware of the bad impacts of excessive play, or etc.

It is not the thing, that is only my opinion, we are all different, we all have different mind, unconventional thinking and different perception in life, So the topic that you have read is only my perception about gambling, I can say it as a threat as well as being fun and the reasons are already stated above. I don't want to change my topic about this because I know that some of the gamblers there have their own opinion too, there are different definition, on how they will define gambling as threat and fun to them, that question that you created about "how to make people can control themselves" are already posted, I have read about that thing before, and the primary way for you to control or limit yourself from gambling, is to think and appreciate those people around you, especially your friends, family and partner in life, you should consider them, you should think what they may feel when you get addicted on gambling.

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.

Wish for the rain? Then deal with the mud too.

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. Can be overcome? Yes. A lot of people already did that here. Tell you, someone here in the forum even made gambling a job though, interesting it is. So, the threat here, IMO, is not about gambling at all, it is about someone's behavior that made him a different kind person.

You only get addicted once you're gambling with your savings and money that you might need. But if your gambling only your extra cash then you wont get emotionally unstable to just throw your whole savings, to get back what you've lost.

yups,but the reality is there mate,at the beginning they are just betting smaller amount and try to enjoy the game,but as days passed by and the intensity goes high?people come to bet more and more without realizing they are becoming addicted and that is what we must prevent to happen.

Quote from: Sadlife on February 26, 2020, 10:01:57 AM

Most people tend to look at gambling as a one way ticket to get rich but its really not. It's just another way to blow off some steam.

in this we are both in the same boat,Gambling must be treated as Fun activities and not a easy gateway to become richer.

I consider gambling as a threat to gamblers. Yes, there are a lot of people who find happiness in gambling if and only if they can control their selves from this, but no matter how fun can gambling gives to you, the problem is still there, the addiction on it is always there, it grows day by day. There are so many disadvantages of being so addicted in gambling, one of which is forgetting your priority, spending your time to your family and your friend, you won't be able to more productive things than losing money, to the point that even you already lose and don't have enough money to play, you will make ways, there are times that you will ask a request to your friend to give you money as debt. You should be the one who controls the gamble and don't let the gamble control you.

In my conclusion, it depends upon the person.

if you're a beginner you will find gambling as a stress reliver, or for fun or pass time(Case 1) . It will give you entertainment that may lead to addiction(Case 2). When you're already addicted and you cannot control yourself not to gamble, I say it is now harmful to you(case 3). It already affects the way you think. The worst case is that when you losses you may experience depression, migraine, distress, and other anxiety-related problems. Gambling becomes a threat both to your physical and mental health.

But a if a person can control himself at case 2, case 3 will be impossible already

I think for cases 1 and 2 it can be overcome but if it has been physically attacked it will be difficult to do and difficult to prevent.
For beginners, it's better to avoid gambling or do it on a day when you're happy because if you do it when you're stressed, then when playing gambling will be chaotic, the risk of losing will be very large because with high emotional.
The second case, if you are already addicted, then it is better to be able to control yourself, don't take too much greed, if you have won out of the ordinary, then you need to stop for a moment and do the money as best as you can, not using everything to gamble again is not good.

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 true, even if you play only for fun, you will still getting addicted.
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.

Actually, It depends on the situation. It will be always for fun if your intention is just to have fun or to be entertained.
It will become a threat in your life if you take it as a profit-making and continue the process even if you're losing.

That's why control must apply, especially on these kinds of things where the money is on the line. Therefore, gambling can be fun sometimes and will be a threat always, depends on your action towards it.

Exactly, the most important thing is still standing from the perspective of users when they engage in gambling, they are expecting a dream of financial improvement or they want a natural joy after the stress of work. And as you say, the financial desire in gambling will be a wrong thought and the consequences for mistakes are a threat to income, a big financial loophole can be made from gambling but if we start gambling just to ease the mental stress, joy will be overwhelming, but should not be subjective when the threat and fun in gambling change very quickly

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Quote from: Zeke_23 on February 26, 2020, 07:51:17 AM

It is a choice as for me, because gambling was originally made to let us or to have some fun, however, it also become the reason why people becomes greedy which is the main reason why it is considered as a threat. I know it is hard to control being greedy, but if you really want to stop or avoid getting addicted, you can as long as it is your choice.

If you have won in gambling then the greed will be there must be able to control ourselves so as not to fall into the losses you experience, remember we must have good principles we gamble just to be happy not to seek profit because it will be difficult to do and we better gamble when there is cold money or at dusk and weekends then this will be suitable for luck.
Many people are mistaken about gambling they are too ambitious to want to continue to profit even though the victory gambling is very thin.
