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.

Gambling is more likely a threat rather than fun, it depends on the people how they will treat gambling and what is their intention, motive, or reason why they gamble. Some people tend to gamble just to relieve their stress in work or to forget their problems. Other people tend to gamble because they think that this is a good source of in come when in reality is, it is not.

Gambling is risky and how come that this is a good source of profit? People should learn and understand how gambling works and what can it do to people who are getting addicted to it. It is easy to prevent yourself from getting addicted to a certain thing if from the start, you know the advantages and disadvantages of playing gambling.

People get addicted to almost anything: eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, narcotics, painkillers, sex. Does it mean all these things are a threat?

Yes, all of these are a threat.

if a person gamble just for fun like spending few hours and with 20 dollars a week or monthly, i consider it as a normal, ....

Well that is not normal because we don't have the same financial status.
For people who are making like millions in a month basis, $20 does not anymore give them a thrill and it's just a waste of time.

What is necessary is not the specific amount, it's you gamble what you can afford to lose, and that you'll stay consistent following that.

I am pretty sure that even if a person with a financial status of spending 20 dollars a month or week, they will still play and bet higher than that if they win consecutively. That is how gambling works, you have money, you play in order to make the most out of it. So, it is impossible to just waste that exact certain amount. Sometimes, if we are winning too much and still continue to gamble, all of our funds could be lost, there are instances that it pushes us to borrow money and in that way I can consider gambling as a threat. Mainly, fun with the experience at the start, but a threat to consider in the end.

But we know that many gamblers already got stress when they lose and many of them want to recover the money which will be so difficult.

That's how gambling works when you lose, you always have that feeling that you need to recover that loses. That's why it's affecting your mentality when you are about to sleep, you are thinking of strategy that could work to regain your loses but it's not possible that way because gambling is all about luck. There is no strategies that actually work except you know how to stop when you're done but most of the cases people want to overcome those feelings and return back to gambling to lose again.

If you want to recover from the loss of gambling then I think it will only fall to lose again because there is no right strategy to recover the money from losing gambling and only luck will restore it.
Stay average for jugi addicts they believe in it when playing gambling again so they are always careful but still defeat they experience.
To be honest, it's hard to say that we want to get the money back because in gambling we have to be prepared with all the risks.

I won't try to recover from the loss because I know that will be difficult, especially for me which don't know much about gambling or strategy that can work in gambling. The chance for me to get a win in gambling will not as big as the other people. Gladly, I never think about recovering the loss, and that's not affecting my mentality when I want to sleep. I can let it go after what I experienced before in gambling because if I think about that, I will be hard to sleep, and I cannot move on from those losses.

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.

if a person gamble just for fun like spending few hours and with 20 dollars a week or monthly, i consider it as a normal, for a person and just having fun but if you are spending more like hundreds and thousand a month or a week that's a different story, since its not healthy you may be in a big debt to bank and to a person without knowing and and the end it will became a threat so, it depends on what you are doing.

for a poor person yes 20 usd a week is enough or already huge enough but to the person that is a big earner , those 20 usd are nothing and wont be enough for them for a week . i see many gamblers complain that they loose 1k and above amounts within a week only , can you imagine that ? for me that was alot but for them no because they do afford it at the first place . if thats the only think that make them happy why not ? we cant bring the money on the other part when we leave this world so better if we spend them according to our liking .

Yeah, unfortunately there are many gamblers still difficult to have good self-control. They always dream to win after put more money, and they believe if doing more attempts, then the chance to win higher. In theory they are right but in fact they just get more losses. I think in this case, they need the role of family and their closest people to advice them.

And where self-control comes from? I think some people just don't wish to learn to be patient, to
have self-control and to not be greedy! It's something you get from experience and rethinking about
consequences of your actions! Clearly some people are ego maniacs, they think only about their own
satisfaction!
Gambling should be fun! It's something we all agree with! But for some people and their close ones
gambling can be a threat! I am in the first group, for me gambling is fun activity, and I think it's ok
to gamble from time to time with money you can afford to lose!

But for those who gamble occasionally or just use their extra funds to play will have more peace of mind and they will enjoy the gambling itself. And I think, I am included in the latter part. If I don't have extra, I prefer to spend it in more important things now that almost all of us are in bad situation.

Same here. I also played gambling only with my extra money. Extra money means not big amount of money. I know it will kill my family if I played with all my funds (money). Never forget about the most urgent needs although the gambling games are really interested to play more and more. Self-control should be the key to prevent from playing excessively, and don't follow the emotion.

Yes, but there is a lot of people who can't control themselves and after few winnings they start thinking "oh man, if only I put more into those winning bets, I would have been rich". And then they start raising the amount of money they gamble. Then they start losing that money and then start to gamble even more to cover for that losses and so on... In the end, they can't get out of that circle.

Playing on betting sites is very dangerous for most players.

Dangerous is quite a harsh word you use, there is no entertainment factor if that is dangerous, maybe there is a risk but not dangerous.

Quote from: sportbettor on April 14, 2020, 09:43:46 AM

Therefore, the best advice for those who are just thinking whether it is worth doing this is better not even to start. However, if you have already gotten involved in it, for starters it is important to choose a reliable sportsbook for your game. This, at least, will avoid additional losses. A list of the best cryptocurrency sportsbooks can be found here: http://futbik24.net/rating-of-cryptocurrency-bookmakers/

The most important is you know what you are playing and you know the risk, games we play depending on the interest of person to person, so it does not matter a lot, some love sports betting or skilled based games, some love poker, dice, roulette and any popular games online.

It is a threat of course as you can see most of the gamblers are having a higher percentage of losing rather than winning and as what you have said being addicted is the big threat to all the gamblers. Even if we will start to gamble as a hobby or to have fun but if you are going to continue to, you will not notice that you are already addicted to it.

But for those who really have a control then it is not a threat for them especially if they are only using the small percentage of their extra money as their capital in gambling. For gamblers, make sure that you still have a control of yourself and don't be greedy.

There is, if you correct your mistake and you'll use the right strategy, but you should be discipline, you can win back your loses but it's not gonna be instantly especially if you lose a lot of money already.

it's like a business where you are not profitable at the beginning but once you figure things out, you'll be profitable.

When there is an addiction, there is no chance anymore to win, a gamblers chance only is to minimize the loses if he can cure his addiction.

We can't term it a threat, because none force people to get into gambling. When we talk about gambling and gamblers it is purely associated with self decision. Even the one with good understanding fails, for that he never blames that gambling is bad as he considers it as fun and enjoys on winning and hope for the best while losing. Same time one without proper understanding about gambling terms it a threat as he has lost money. This is the difference of considering gambling as threat and as fun in my opinion.

It completely depends upon the person how he treats because myself, I will consider gambling for fun, today we are living in a stressful life and everybody are looking out for some fun and entertainment. People who are looking for fun will not invest much amount into gambling.

It happens that simply fun can easily become an addiction! And you won't notice how you start spending more money than you can afford!
So you don't need to be too fond of gambling! And need clearly understand it's entertainment for you, or the beginning of addiction!

Maybe people don't care about their lives, so they still playing gambling without stopping for a while.

It's the least that they can care about.

Just because they have ruined their lives through gambling it doesn't mean that they don't care for themselves. They do and that's why they can gamble because they thought of living the life at the fullest through gambling and tried their luck because they might win big time.
