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.

It is upto each individual person how he treats the gambling...some people ruin their lifes in gambling while other enjoy and have fun with it....it is important to be in limits and know what you are doing...if you are feeling stress in gambling it will be much better to quit it

Maybe people don't care about their lives, so they still playing gambling without stopping for a while. When the gambler can choose how they will going to treat gambling, they will think that gambling is just for fun, so they don't have to get stress because of losing the money. 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.

Agree. Gambling isn't to make someone to be stress, it is a fun activity. If someone becomes stress in gambling, I guess he expects too much in earning money or too obsessed to win big prizes. I always remind myself to be a smart gambler, don't be a stupid one by hoping unreasonable things. Yes, limit your funds and think realistically is the key.

That's where most gamblers failed. Those who are addicted and really have no resources to supplement their gambling activity will experience stress like it depends their entire life on it. 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.

I think that gambling is fun until it becomes stressful. When you wake up in the morning and the first thing that you do is think about which matches you're gonna play, than it's a threat. But when you go out to walk your dog and you play a ticket for a buck or so, then it's more fun than a threat. I know a lot of people who does just that - every few days they play a ticket with 10 pairs and put a little money on it (under a dollar). They think of it as fun and I agree with them.

It depends on the person who will handle gambling. There are people who did not make themselves too much attached to gambling while others just choose to enjoy it. But all in all yes gambling is made is for fun. That is all where it starts. You/they will not become interested to it if you're /they find it boring from the very start.

Gambling is intended for fun purposes.

Of course, people would not gamble if its not fun, but with that fun, some failed to realize that they don't have the end to win.
It's always the casino that has the edge that's why they are so profitable, more gamblers having fun means more money in their pocket.

Quote from: Fundamentals Of on April 10, 2020, 09:53:24 AM

OP if you believe that gambling is a threat then you are too close minded. It's like eating cake is a threat too? Because eating too much cake is dangerous to your health too. Stop being funny OP. Life itself is a gamble. Everything in this world needs control and balance.

There's is a threat in gambling but generally it's not a threat.
It only depends on how people manage themselves in gambling, if they are responsible and they know how to manage the risk, they will never fail in gambling, yes they will lose most likely but will not regret.

Gambling can be threat or fun that it depends to a person if they will take gambling as a leisure time whenever they are just bored or they will take gambling to earn easy money by just playing. But mostly gambling is a threat because there are people who takes gambling seriously as a profit, not for entertainment that they always lead to greed and aggression in betting.

This is how most of the gamblers see gambling.

It will be a threat for most of the gamblers since they see gambling as a way to get profit and not to have some fun. They believe that they will get money in an easy way thru gambling so they are throwing their money and hoping that they will get profits which is a wrong idea for them.

Even those gamblers who are just gambling for entertainment are becoming greedy when they are winning consecutively and their reason of just to have some fun will be change to get some profit since they can become a greedy gambler when they feel that they can win on that day. Winning consecutive times can make them become greedy. If you want to just gamble for fun, spend a small amount and put a target price if you win and stop when you reached that limit already if you are lucky but if you lose learn how to stop and call it a day.

A good point of view, but I think there is a huge difference between "being disciplined" and "understanding that you need to be disciplined." I know some people who suffer from their gambling addiction and they perfectly understand that it would be good to get rid of it, but they themselves can not do it.

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.

Globally, gambling is seen as a threat more than a fun activity you can engage in most especially as it has to do with placing a bet with money and since the chances of you wining/losing is 50/50 it becomes unpredictable with the later always been the outcome. The statistics of losing is far more than that of the wins since the industry operate on using their customers money to pay each other.

It's a global threat since most of the casino houses are affiliated with drug lords or criminals but in the perspective of a rich person who wants to be entertained in gambling, it's a fun activity. Casino houses will probably do their best not to lose any income and will put the odds on their own hands.

Customers will still go there due to its good benefits for middle-class people. Still, gambling can be also a fun activity but for some people only, so it really depends on the scenario.

Gambling for me is fun or hobby... I like watching football and betting! I get double gambling! Cheesy

Team win and money win, or losing everywhere... Wink

I don't think that kind of gambling can hurt me...

How do you actually cope when you are losing? because I think there's no fun in losing money right? So it is clear that there is 2 sides, to experience the fun when we are winning, or we are threatened because our funds are at risk to when we are losing so we want to play more and win back our loses?

Well, for me, there is a threat in gambling, but we can experience the fun in it if we know our limitations. How? Just set a standard betting amount that we are all willing to lose, that don't affect us and our needs. That is how we should handle gambling. Not just betting and losing everywhere like we are the richest person in the world.

I don't set the primary goal of making money... For me, it's first of all about getting emotions! And winning is a nice addition! When I place a bet, I realize that I can both win and lose! And with a bad outcome, I won't think about how to get back my money!

Until getting addicted everyone has the same opinion as you but the first step is to lose the emotional control. Not only logic control use, there is a big portion of control by the human emotions which can lead to the unnecessary decisions during the game session.

I hope I can deal with my emotions! Wink

It is not that OP is close minded.
Gambling can be turned up to thread as well.
It depends on the person that gambles - if he is "close-minded" as you said he might end up loosing all of his money. Then there is not any fun in that but only threads of loosing all your money.

Well, I guess its kinda the same as crypto is. You should not spend money that is not OK to lose else it is really funny and sometimes profitable to gamble. So my answer is both.

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.

Gambling is all about fun and positive vibes if we control ourselves from being addicted but if we became addicted to it, it is the time when it becomes a threat. Control is the key to be a successful gambler and greediness is the key to be the worst. We can control ourselves and avoid being addicted if we limit our lose of money everyday. Example, you will stop gambling for the day if you alreadt lose three times. It will help you for sure.

Gambling only becomes a threat if you don't play within your means.

If you know you're the type of person who can't stick to a budget, then gambling becomes a threat.

If you borrow money just so you can play, then gambling becomes a threat.

It is easier in theory.Even for me who have been strictly following my monthly bankroll there has been times like this month that I won a bit of money in slots and I thought why not play to get that 10.000x bet which led me to losing not only my won amount but also a lot of unplanned money.

That's most likely will happen if we are weak in controlling your emotion, you got greedy when you win and when you lose as well that's why you lose your discipline, but you should learn from that as its normal for gamblers to make mistakes.

Quote from: swogerino on April 10, 2020, 03:41:59 AM

Bottom line is no one can really control their emotions so gambling can become from fun to threat in an instant.

I disagree with this, maybe there are people or a lot of people can't control their emotion but I'm sure there are gamblers who are discipline enough to control their emotion and stay responsible while gambling.
