Topic: Is gambling a threat or fun? - page 13. (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.
Threats and something fun in gambling is basically a choice if you can realize it, you already know that when gamblers don't have control then in the end gambling for them is a threat. Indeed, cases like this will be difficult to realize because even new gamblers will eventually become addicted to gambling, because new players have at least a very high emotion to continue gambling without realizing the time to stop. So I guess gambling is a choice, when you have a good mindset then gamble or not, I don't think it will cause any threat to your life.
Never bet more than you are willing to lose. The house edge is there for the casino to make money. They games are for entertainment. If you hit a good run and you can't control yourself you will most definitely give it back to the house in the long run. Gamble responsibly, or you will lose your last shirt.
Gabling starts when you think that it is a fun activity.
i disagree on this one Mate,because most of those who are starting gambling thinks they wanna try to double the money or at least against the table and that is what a beginners Mindset.That's how all people see it in the beginning but as you gamble and gamble more and you start losing money then this activity becomes a thread due to the factor that might make you lose a lot of money in the end which is not actually fun.
you will lose a lot if you are a type of person that cannot Hold the feelings and desire in which always looking for wins and not accepting the reality in gambling.If you gamble a bit on a casual basis then everything is fine, but there is a small path between fun and addiction. Many people start betting low amounts for fun, but when they start loosing money, the put more and more money in to get their buy-in back. You should always play responsible and look at the dangers of online gambling. But keeping this in mind, gambling isn't more dangerous than drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes.
so there is nothing to compete in which is more bad what important here is our control and respect for our self and life.
which is forgetting your priority,
No more debate, because of this gambling is a threat. In real life people always have priority and should catch it before too late, can't be undone. If someone says they can manage time and control emotion, that is non sense. As long bonus deposit still exist they will use and try it, soon or later addicted will become their part of life. Leave gambling for your future and family, it's worth to be done.

Saying that gambling is a threat to gamblers because they might get atddicted is like saying that watching tv or playing computer games is a threat because you can get addicted.
People get addicted to almost anything: eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, narcotics, painkillers, sex. Does it mean all these things are a threat? Maybe they are if you're mentally ill and cannot control your urges but not to normal people.
Really? Do you get into rehabilitation because of playing the computer? Duo you get in recovery because of eating and drinking? Do not take it practically, and some people considered gambling as a threat because it has a harmful effect on it. Some people cannot control their mind because of gambling, there are times that they get a significant debt because of lending money to play gambling, and that is really bad. The worst thing is they may lose all their properties and money because they don't have something to offer in return to their loans. Can't you feel it as a threat if it is slowly taking out all of your properties and money without realizing it because you are only focusing on gambling?People get addicted to almost anything: eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, narcotics, painkillers, sex. Does it mean all these things are a threat? Maybe they are if you're mentally ill and cannot control your urges but not to normal people.
Drinking, eating, playing computer, watching TV, etc. are significantly different from gambling
Like what everyone said, gambling could be your sweetest death lol 
. If you will not watch your step then hou might be drown on debts. Nevertheless, you can do sometbing to avoid this and the most effective way I think of is treating gambling not so seriously. I mean don't make it as a career, just play for the excitement and hope small returns. Don't ever expect that you can be a millionaire from betting, I know there are stories with samekind of scenario but c'mon! That's not the fate of each one of us lol. Play - Enjoy - Earn - Repeat, but stop don't forget to change "Repeat" to "Go home" when you already losing what you can't afford.
If you can't dream of becoming millionaire by gambling there is no point in playing. If people gamble it's mostly because it's their only way to get a chance of becoming rich. I agree there are few chances of becoming millionaire by playing games of chance because of the law of probabilities on the long run but some games are not totally random.The games where you play against other people are not fully random in general. Betting is also not wholly random. So because of your skills it's possible to win money by gambling in reality. . If you will not watch your step then hou might be drown on debts.

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.

IMHO, gambling can be both a threat or fun - based on how you take it. If you take gambling too seriously, I think it's not less than a threat as it'll become a stress on your mind and a passion to gamble will always be on top of your mind, while on the other hand if you take this thing lightly, I don't think that it's less than a fun way to cheer up yourself and you'll also not put money you can't afford to lose. But in any case, getting under debts to gamble should not be done at any cost because you are risking your lender's money and that isn't considered something you can afford to lose.
This question is always on my mind since then until now. I want to know the opinion of everyone here on this platform. I know that we have all different perception about gambling, so I respect what will be your point of view about that.
But to share my opinion, 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.

Yes it can be seen as a waste of time, but watching TV isn't a waste of time too? Talking on social medias about random useless topics isn't a waste of time too?
Trading is a kind of gambling but if you always lose money by trading why institutional big money corporates are trading?
Gabling starts when you think that it is a fun activity.
i disagree on this one Mate,because most of those who are starting gambling thinks they wanna try to double the money or at least against the table and that is what a beginners Mindset.That's how all people see it in the beginning but as you gamble and gamble more and you start losing money then this activity becomes a thread due to the factor that might make you lose a lot of money in the end which is not actually fun.
you will lose a lot if you are a type of person that cannot Hold the feelings and desire in which always looking for wins and not accepting the reality in gambling.If you gamble a bit on a casual basis then everything is fine, but there is a small path between fun and addiction. Many people start betting low amounts for fun, but when they start loosing money, the put more and more money in to get their buy-in back.

The answer for this question would be more likely depend on the financial status of a certain gambler. If he has a lot of money and reserve, it is easier to derive from it that they are more likely playing just only for the sake of fun from the thrill and excitement but, I would not say that all of rich people play only for fun because it is unlikely that they wanted to gamble for the sake of increasing their money more. On the other side, people who are less stable in income and have no extra money to gamble with are more likely to feel more risk of losing their entire wealth over gambling, they would mostly play for the sake of income from gambling and earn money or profit for their living.
So if we have a lot of money, we can enjoy the gambling game rather than people who don't have a lot of money? I don't think so because we can feel fun or enjoy the game is about how we can manage the money. It is not related to the amount of money that we have, or we used to play gambling. When you can control how much money you will use to playing gambling, I am sure you can enjoy gambling games, and you can have fun too, like the other rich people.
People who cannot manage their money in gambling will not get the fun thing, and they cannot enjoy gambling games because they will try to win, which is not easy to do that. They can risk their money, and even if that person has a lot of money, they can use all of their money without limit.

Sometimes i feel gambling is fun but only if i am winning my bets but surely gambling is not a threat. If you think it is threat that why you play it ? You play gambling intentionally and with your own will , so it is not a threat. A threat is something which is accidental in nature and not in control.
We cannot think it as a threat, we do not care anymore to the things around us because we are only focused on gambling, that is really addictive, to the point that you already forget to do more valuable things than gambling and the worst thing aside of losing our money in betting is we can also lose our relationship to our friends, family, partners and other people around us. In order for you to not define gambling as a threat, do not become addicted to it, set it as entertainment and joy.

I know that we have all different perception about gambling
Gambling was designed or invented to entertain us but it may remain the same when gamblers do it with discipline. When they cross their limits, gambling must turn as a threat to their happier life. It is really unfortunate, an activity is becoming complete upside down based on our activities.It is going to depend on you if you want gambling to be threat or fun, just be responsible gambler all the time.
I believe everything in our life is no different from gambling; when we do at limits and within prescribed way of safe gambling then definitely gambling will be a fun activity. Gambling needs to be handled with utmost care but most gamblers do fail here due to excitements which makes gambling as a threat. 
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.
Indeed, it all depends on the characteristic of a person; if he has a great control on his mind, I doubt that he can consider gambling as a threat we are all cannot considered gambling as a threat if we know how to control ourselves if we know when to stop, if we do not forget to do some valuable things and if we do not forget our responsibilities as a son/ daughter, father/mother, friends. It is much better when we are considering the gambling as entertainment and fun, to the point that we will not get mad when we are losing the game, but that is really impossible, I do not believe to all those persons who say that they cannot feel sad if they lose the game. It is impossible. Money is the main reason why we are gambling, because if we only want fun, then there are so many things that we can do to have that, we can get that from our friends, family and partners, these things that we are not required to lose our money to have fun.
And to add also, it depends on the person's priorities in life. It will be a threat, if for example he is using the money for his basic needs in gambling. He should know better that taking this money in gambling will put him in a worst situation. And if he can take that risk, it is his decision but the repercussion might be detrimental not only to him but for those individuals that are depending on him. And on the other note, gambling is fun if you are using your extra money without pressure of gaining it back. And you are only playing, for the sake of entertainment and for you, winning is just a bonus.
