Topic: Is gambling a threat or fun? - page 17. (Read 2946 times)
Depend on from what side people consider it but for me it could be both although i attempts to consider gambling for entertainment purposes but in the fact it's not always be fun because sometimes we can be so upset while lost and it's not fun anymore and if we thinking to recover our losses from gambling then it can be change to threat because this is early symptoms of gambling addiction
If someone let gambling to control their daily activities and keep losing their financial status means they don't have control over mind but we can't blame gambling for that since no one forces them to do so,all they were doing by themselves and getting addicted to it for wrong intentions.
It’s one self discipline and control in themself which helps them to stay away from any addiction or in gambling it’s very easy to be addicted as it’s involve money and humans are greedy about it . But moment it becomes a headache for someone the fun part becomes a threat for them and then has many effects of it .

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.
thats why we must take action as early as possible because if not then we will be like many people that turned unto a gambling degen . im one of those degens tho but not most of the times . i can still control my self to not to gamble everyday and its hard because i visit the gambling site everyday just to chitchat only with my friends . for the long time i spend on a gambling site the best thing that i get aside from profits is friends and this gems cant be paid by money thats why i value them and i always comeback .
I think mostly is a threat to most persons because even if you lose your first ever bet or session of play or you win it many people like to go back again.Some to recover the lost amount and some to try and win more.This is very dangerous because without one realizing this can lead to gambling addiction if the person is not careful.
This happens more compared to people who know they are gambling for fun and they know what they are doing.

I don't think threat (or fun) is higher than the other so i'd say its even. I see both of them having an impact mentally good or bad and what happens is we tend to look at the bad things more than the good things making it more of a threat. I understand others saying gambling is a threat because of past experiences from those people with gambling problems but imo what makes it dead even is how each gambler have the decision to pick between the two. Fight over the mental battle after each win or losing bet to not get carried away with bad decisions.
depends on how we treat gambling because like what you said we have our own perception about this.
but if i am to asked?this is not a threat instead this is for fun only because i am a family centered person so i would rather spend everything in me for my family than gambling.

I consider it as a threat but only for those who couldn't control their greed because it could destroy them they have a high potential of becoming addicted to gambling.
As a gambler we should also be able to control our emotions so it wouldn't be a problem to us or our family.

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.

For me, it can be both threat and fun because before you gamble, your aim is that to have fun besides of course to gain money. It will become a threat, once you can't control yourself because it will now lead to addiction. Well, there are many people who are really addicted to gambling and most of them are rich. So, I think it really depends on how people control their selves.
I will share my opinion regarding this base on the "threat" part and the "fun" part.
Threat - this mostly happens when a gamblers is losing. Gambling is the reason why gamblers are becoming a threat as they can do violent things when they lost their money on it. Because of gambling, they can do bad things and worse they can rob other people too especially if they are addicted into gambling.
Fun - gambling becomes a fun when a gambler is winning the game and it is more fun if he knows when to go out and go home along with his profits. As a gambler, that is their main goal to have profits at the end of the day. Unfortunately, gamblers tend to become greedy and instead of having fun they feel regret if they lose their money.

This depends how you treat gambling but it can be both. You can gamble for fun if you know how to control yourself and it can also be a threat financially if you let yourself become addicted. So it all depends on your capability on how you will handle the emotions when you gamble because thats the start of the problem especially if you're losing your money. Some gamblers can refrain themselves despite of the losses but others are eager to gamble to chase back what they lost.
Think why you want to gamble and stick to it. If your reason is to earn then forget about it because its not the reliable way to grow your money.

It is the combination of the two but more on threat than fun.
The fact that you are betting your money is a threat of itself. Your money is not just in the line here but also your life. Gambling destroyed a lot of lives in the past and the proof that a lot of people are having a problem with it means it is really a threat. It is fun if you are getting a profit but that also is a threat since that will make you want to earn more and more that means you are also in risk losing your profits.

Depends on our mood and capacity in living, a threat if we risk too much that is only enough for us to lived or to survive the needs of the family. As long as we don't have too much money problem then we can enjoy it and make it as a hobby for fun since it's really thrilling and satisfying when we won.
That is the same.
You may have a lot of money or not, that is still a threat. Instead of focussing that money on assets or investments and stocks, you use them to gamble. Even if your career can support your vice, it can still end up as your addiction and will really eat your money. If you're not prioritizing your career, it may crumble your plans down.

Give yourself a good assessment and try to observe your behaviors towards this activities.
It's both.
If you're of the mindset to get easily addicted to things, it's a threat. If you've got good self control and a logical mind, then it's just fun.
Just keep a cool head and it shouldn't become a problem for most people.
We should also keep in mind that we do gambling also because we need to earn profits (not unless if you just really intended to have fun and expected to lose)If you're of the mindset to get easily addicted to things, it's a threat.

A lot of people who gamble that have different reasons; just what everyone said, for fun or for money like they do it for living.
But, we should also be responsible for doing gambling just for fun, because it could lead to addiction or bankruptcy.
Honestly yes,because the presence of gambling is attracting more people nowadays specially that economy is falling and one of the chance people has is ti earn easily without knowing that the more they are eager to win is the more chances of them losing.
i don't recommend to people entering gambling if they have chances prevent from dealing here.
except those people that can control themselves like me,that i don't need to skip gambling because i know my capacity and how i can refuse to play whenever i wanted to.

Although gambling is a fun but if you become addicted then it takes awful form. Specially, it's so deadly for young people, who go crazy when little things happen. Those who lose a match in gambling attempt to win the next match until he can win & thus, they become addicted. On the other hand, those who win a match they make a bigger bet in the face of happiness. Very few people have been able to quit gambling after being addicted. so, for the beginner should not gamble if you not matured enough.
If it is an uncontrolable, then it is a threat. You can weigh and reflect everytime you gamble. If it is not healthy anymore like the usual priority was left behind already, then it is no fun at all. We all gamble for two things: To gain profits and To have fun. If it wasn't meet the two goals and has already unusual behaviors, think twice.
Honestly, I am still happy that I still managed myself from being addicted to gambling. I see to it that at the end of the day I do some self-reflections, does I gamble a lot today that it does affects my daily living or not. It helps a lot to control gambling addiction.

because you have also no option but to respect all answers from different perspectives 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,
self control always saves us,no matter in what situation even from gambling or even in relationship so that is indeed the savior of everyone. 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.
Gambling is part of the society so the more people enters gambling is the more chances to be added as addicted. 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.
all of the mentioned problem can happen even if gambling is not there,Liquor,drugs,womanizing and other vices that can lead to these problem som let us not specified as gambling roots of these. 
As you've said OP we all have different opinion,
Some would say that it is fun and there are some who would consider it as a threat,
We as a gambler doesn't really see it as a threat even though it is destroying some gambler's lives.
For me the only people who would consider it as a threat is the one who doesn't really enjoy their time while gambling.
