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.

Threat on the sense that you wont able to control gambling and yes there were lots of people who do fail on doing this one thats why they do end up on playing and getting theirselves addicted in the end of the day.Playing gambling isnt bad as long you do know on how to play with moderation and self control.Once you do saw that you are already doing some signs of addiction then better stop mid-way rather than letting yourself go through addiction and
mess out your life.Remember, that once damage was done then its already hard to break chains with it.Addiction is something that would really be hard
to remove on someone.If you dont like unfortunate things to happen in your life then better to think carefully before you do gamble and if you are an emotional type of person then better not consider gambling in the first place.

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.

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.

Your statement was too ironic because gamblers themselves cannot be called as "gamblers" without any sort of gambling. Maybe "Gambling as a threat to anyone involved in it". But we get the idea, yet it wasn't of a huge threat nor a threat at all. It is more of a risky hobby than a threat. But, where's the fun without risks and sacrifices? Is life not gambles us just for us to learn? Therefore, gambling is more often to be felt by most as satisfying and fun.

Better close this thread as it would only be bombarded with unnecessary opinions that was already answered even on the OP's statement.

^ You already found the answer to your paragraph and that was in the last sentence that I bolded above. Definitely right, we have the responsibility to control our minds and emotion in gambling. You should always remember this before influencing gambling. There's no more threat if you enjoy gambling not just for chasing money on it.

It really depends on your mindset. If you tend to get addicted to things quickly, then gambling can quite easily become one of those things.

Most people don't suffer from this issue though, so it's all just good fun.

Just keep your risk down and don't play with more than you are willing to lose and you'll be fine.

you can say that its a threat to you because you are one of those who have experience a negative result upon the longer you play a gambling but its ok , i am not against with your point . you already said that we are different right . some experience positive result too but i cant fully say that im only experiencing good results because sometimes i do loose too but not too much . i only loose spare money but i enjoyed playing the game , so i can say that gambling is fun and not a threat .

The main purpose of I consider is to have fun and enjoyment . But every individual is so different and since it involves money which every one wants to have maximum it has become a job or a routine form any to make as much money from it as possible . In this process they get addicted etc and this becomes a huge threat to them and to their family too because it has too many side effects too .

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.
