The answer depends on us. We start gambling with a reason for us to enjoy but what we're not monitoring is ourselves. While we're enjoying too much on playing and the idea of winning money, we're slowly forgetting to control ourselves. We started with fun and it will just become a threat if it becomes too much.
It's not really the idea of whether gambling is good or bad, it's our self-control. If we just know how to limit ourselves, we won't see gambling as a threat. Not everyone will agree with me but for me, gambling is just for fun. In my case, I don't see gambling as a threat to me because I know how to control myself and I don't spend so much time on gambling. But I'm also aware of how gambling can destroy us so I try to only set limits because I don't want to cause a problem.

1. If in gambling's mind it threatens you, stop, don't bet.
2. If in your mind it's fun, to get a lot of money keep playing gambling.

1.) Agree. It makes no sense to endanger yourself in this case.
2.) Hmm ... I think it should be divided.
If we want to have fun and a little adrenaline, then we pay money (we are ready to lose it).
If we want to get a lot of money, then it is probably better to work hard or do business. Gambling is not a place where they can be earned (by playing).
Although there is always a chance
Like everyone says, it all depends on how you play and how much you play and how much you have. If you are a rich person gambling with small amount of money that won't hurt you, it is a total fun that won't hurt you, hell people who are wealthy enough increase that wagering into buying teams, that is the ultimate gambling.
However, if you do not have too much money and you insist on gambling with the money you do not have that is a threat. I have met with a guy who had 70 thousand dollars in debt to a sportsbook/casino (which is wrong by the casino, if dude doesn't have the money for it, do not let him gamble) all because he took out loans from them to keep gambling, now that is as threat as it comes. However there are also tons of billionaires who love to gamble for few million dollars a day and that is nothing to them, less than their savings interest income.

At first, you will realize gambling is for fun, but once you experienced winning a lot of money in gambling that will be the time you will realize if gambling is really a threat or fun for you because you might have changes in your attitude while playing in gambling that you always seek just to play gambling whether it is for entertainment or to earn money.
Gabling starts when you think that it is a fun activity.
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.

It will be always depending on the gambler on how he will see his situation when playing gambling, Addiction is a threat but if you control yourself and do some limitation I'm sure a gambler won't arrive at the stage that gambling is harmful to him.
I was an addict on gambling before and I can consider it as a threat because of the negative impacts that come to my life, but as of now, I am on the rehabilitation of stopping and controlling myself on playing gambling I can consider it fun when I play. Don't get me wrong, I play gambling by controlling my emotions and by limiting my wager on each session I play games.
This depends from person to person, and yes I actually agree with you about controlling your decisions while betting. Your decision may not be a threat for now but sooner or later it will be a big deal not only for you but also for your family if you have one. Well just like what they usually say "play for fun" and " bet what you can afford to lose". I was an addict on gambling before and I can consider it as a threat because of the negative impacts that come to my life, but as of now, I am on the rehabilitation of stopping and controlling myself on playing gambling I can consider it fun when I play. Don't get me wrong, I play gambling by controlling my emotions and by limiting my wager on each session I play games.
Gambling is fun to those winning and a threat to gamblers. That's how the cycle is. You can never win the house. Only few wins and majority are losing. So winners are enjoying it because of their strategy while it's frustrate losers with threat and many can't quit.

It can only be a threat if you let it. If you don't know how to limit your self, gambling can lead to serious problems. Addiction starts slowly if you are just starting to gamble and know for your self that by the end of the day gambling is not healthy for your health and financially, you should do something about it.
Gambling should be satisfying and entertaining, it isn't a threat unless you just let yourself end up on a situation wherein it affects your life negatively. It is one of the specific reason why gamblers must set their own limitation to keep themselves away from addiction. It is our responsibility as a gambler to ensure that it won't make our life miserable, it is the reason why self-discipline is a must because it will make you analyze which is the best and right thing to do. Gambling can possibly lead to threat if you continue on gambling without even realizing how it makes an impact on your way of living.
It is quite easy to play and win a little in gambling, it is quite easy to win allot when yo have allot of funds to bet, and it is easy to lose as well in gambling. That is why many people tends to be addicted in playing because of the "easy money" scheme of it to cycle money based from our luck. We might not notice but from time to time that we play, we miss the opportunity of spending time with other productive stuffs and we get addicted to it. What's bad is when we get addicted but we tend to experience more loss than wins, so to make sure we are playing well, it is not that playing/gambling that we should take care of (quit), but being addicted to it. And there are many ways to do it. Just plain and simple, spend time with recreational activities, play video games, work hard, and love our family.
For me gambling is fun not a threat at all.
I don't see it as a threat since I could control my gambling habits.
And I only gamble for fun and I am not one of those heavy gamblers.
Well, as for me,I don't see it as a threat since I could control my gambling habits.

It depends on every individual. There are a few people who can actually play only for "fun" and there are some who are playing to "win" and to have some instant money. It only becomes a threat if that fun activity will soon after becomes an addiction.
I have said it many times before, to me it's a fun activity I engage in from time to time. I don't have a gambler's mindset and I am not an addict in any way.
I don't consider it to be a threat. It is only a threat to minors and minors shouldn't be allowed to gamble in any way. For everyone else, enjoy the ride. If you get addicted, admit it and seek help.

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.
I think it totally depends on the individuals, gambling can be presume to be deadly at the same time a savior to many average income earners. The way you approach it determination how you see it. Every activity has an advantage and disadvantage, sometimes the advantage could favor some individuals while others are encountered with the disadvantages especially when they're not equipped with the necessary knowledge to combat such scenario.
The fun in gambling is more than the threats when you plan effectively, don't over exceed your gambling limit just because you're trying to win back your losses. Always understand that it's isn't an assured method of earning income since your previous success doesn't guarantee future outcomes.

Now you can consider in your mind, other people only have suggestions, who do everything is your own.
This is where people should really mind on which things would really vary on what are there perceptions towards it.Gambling activity can really either be both things
which is threat or fun and you will eventually experience this along the way if you are keen towards your actions or things that do happens while you do play.
If you are a sensible type of person then you will surely notice it but if you are already addicted then you will surely neglect this until you experience big losses
and thats the time you will eventually stop.
This question is always on my mind since then until now.
Actually gambling is a lot of controversy arising from one's judgment of gambling, when he wins and when he loses.1. When you win: gambling is fun spoken in the mouth and the players.
2. When you lose: gambling is threatened for your finances and for you, if you have a debt to people while gambling.
These two factors are now returned to you 'individual' in responding to them.
If you say fun is true, if you say threatening is also true, both are true.
Now you have two choices you can make.
1. If in gambling's mind it threatens you, stop, don't bet.
2. If in your mind it's fun, to get a lot of money keep playing gambling.
Now you can consider in your mind, other people only have suggestions, who do everything is your own.

Gambling is built on human physiology. You do certain actions (hunting simulation) and get the result (prey simulation) and your brain receives endorphins. These mechanisms are described in more detail in specific scientific papers. So this is an absolutely natural (and probably useful for brain stimulation) activity.
In gambling there is nothing wrong if your hobby does not turn into a mania. But this is also true of other “stimulants” such as alcohol, coffee, and even regular sports or reading news (some people cannot tear themselves away from this).
you should read more articles about gambling so you'll educate yourself properly.
They said gambling is for fun since it is fur fun but we cannot erase the reality that this kind of fun is risky, and that will become a threat when you as a gambler don't know how to manage that risk when you are gambling... the solution is to become a responsible gambler all the time, you'll then have fun all the time.

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.
In my own personal opinion, gambling is a threat and at the same time for fun because you can really gamble for fun whenever you are bored at your home or if you don't have other things to do. Gambling could only be a threat to your life if you just consider gambling as a source of income or to earn money because that will be the time that you will be greedy and addicted in gambling.

Well, know one should enjoy taking risk.
In my opinion, we should avoid making risky things fun to prevent addiction.
Don't risk what you can't afford to lose. If you must gamble, gamble on things that add value to your life or and less on things that are neither beneficial nor harmful.
Not a good idea to gamble on bad games or things that are bad.
^This could probably be applied in all spheres of our lives.
