Topic: Is gambling a threat or fun? - page 6. (Read 2943 times)
There are 2 types of people who want to gamble their money, the one is looking for fun that want to kill his boredom and the other is full of greed who wants to earn money from it. I'm with the side of seeking enjoyment so for me gambling is not a threat for me and it helps me to have better quality of life. It can be only a threat if people will depend getting income through gambling only and this kind of scenario should we avoid.
It is also fun because when a person stress or lonely once they play gambling games most of them are become happy ......
I wouldn't recommend gambling when you are stress or lonely, you can't win and you might just increase your problem. You better gamble when you feel relax as that way you'll be able to decide well, and that way, there will be no threat for you, just don't for with your emotion all the time, that's the basic rule as it's the devil that would just bring us to disaster in life.
I am not sure about others but for me gambling is a fun. I gamble once in a while and it is some what refreshing for me. Regular gambling cannot be fun it is addiction and addiction is always a threat.
Being addicted will really threat to your money to lose money because a player have greediness of earning money.It is also fun becausd when a person stress or lonely once they play gambling games most of them are become happy because it is also games but involve money. As long as you are regular play gambling is not a threat.

Gambling can be a threat and likewise gambling can be fun, it depends on the individual and how each individuals rate gambling in their lifestyles.
If you see gambling as a livelihood, then addiction is setting in and it could be a threat.
But if you see gambling as fun, then theres so much excitement within you, and either loss or gain, you won't feel so much disappointments as opposed to making gambling a lifestyle.

I will stick to your question, It will always be a threat. They say gambling is for fun but when a gambler felt the moment of winning and the moment of losing, they will always have a choice to bet more. The thrill, the entertainment, the feeling of being intelligent and skilled, the desire to win more money, the desperation to get back the money lost---are just few emotions why it is a threat. Once you feel those emotions, you can lose your control and can become a compulsive gambler. Its fun but will always be a threat.
It can be a threat based on every person perpective, as what we can see we can be good of we know how to manage our resources and our game play, it can help us in many ways, and also it can be harmful if we cannot manage our greedines, it will destroy our lives and can be a threat. Greediness is a threat if we cannot manage it, it is inevitable but it could be lessened in many ways.

For some people it is a threat, it could ruin your life
We can try to use gambling for fun, and never use gambling for making money. That is the only way we can enjoy gambling without becoming addicting. But unfortunately, many people slowly become addicted when they don't care about controlling themselves. Once they spend more money, they will be inside the gambling circle, and it is hard to see that we are addicted because all we want is to make money through gambling.
Only those who can really control emotions and can keep everything in shape will enjoy and be entertained while playing inside any
types of gambling. Most of the time gamblers excess from their limitations and start the problem of addictions.

For some people it is a threat, it could ruin your life, you can spend your rent money, your bill money, your food money on gambling and still go on, for some people it is just fun, you can play for a while and stop whenever you want. It all depends on how you approach it. There was an experiment with mouses for cocaine addiction, I know they are not similar and gambling addiction is totally different but the idea that an addiction could ruin your life stands.
In this experiment a mouse was given an option for food and an option for cocaine, it had to pick one of them, and just like a regular mouse it picked food first, however one day it tried cocaine because it didn't know what it was and checked it, after that mouse always picked cocaine until it died from starvation, it literally rather get it is cocaine than eat and it resulted of the mouse to die from starvation.
Addicts would pick their addiction over anything else, that is why it is important to see an addiction and admit having one and go seek help for it.

Yes, I make money in other ways!

To be specific, it's called a risk not gambling because it has difference in each other.
When we're talking about risk, you have considered the possible effects of your decisions and may predict actions. While in gambling, you're guessing, so you don't have any control of the future outcome or result. Guessing can't be applied in trading, it will just make a huge loss. Trading requires a lot of mathematical theories, even thinking that it will go pump due to this and that, it's theoretical, you aren't guessing out of anywhere.
I agree with you, but still similarities can be found - for example, when betting on sports you can find statistics of personal meetings of the teams. Also in trading there is a technical analysis...When we're talking about risk, you have considered the possible effects of your decisions and may predict actions.

But specifically, the risk is still the right term to be used.

I'm not sure it's the case for all poker/card players. In fact many poker players play because they are good at this game and they win. So they don't play just because of an addiction but simply because they win and they like that.

I agree with you, but the reason for their victories (at least if we are talking about online poker) is not in any special skill. Most "profitable" players play poker using specialized software that gives them a great advantage over ordinary players.

I usually bet on football, or rather only on it!
Most often these are world level matches - World/ European Cups, Champions League, European League... However, now, for some known reasons, these matches have been canceled...To be specific, it's called a risk not gambling because it has difference in each other.

It depends on your financial status and bet amount,if you are going to spend half of your monthly salary for gambling just with the hope of getting into a millionaire someday then you are doing it wrong.If you are spending 5% or less amount from your monthly salary for getting entertainment via gambling then its complete fun.
To me it is a very dangerous threat, I used to gamble a lot and whenever I start gambling again I play way too much and lose way too much money. I used to gamble on dice games and that resulted with me losing couple bitcoins myself, thankfully it wasn't really worth all that much at that time but it was always a painful experience, that losing caused me to stop and never really gambled on dice games ever again, been clear for 6 years now. I followed that up with playing on sportsbooks for a while, the luckiest I have ever been was the sportsbooks, I played on NBA games and I knew the teams so most of the time I made a profit from it, one day I got bored and put all of my money into 3 game parlay and made a huge profit from it and just quit afterwards. Recently I had a problem with horse racing, I played waaaay too much again and lost a lot of money back to back for 2 weeks, after that I decided to quit that as well since for 2 weeks every single day I gambled and every single day I lost.

Actually it could depends on the gamblers, they will be the one that will decide whether gambling would cause bad or good to him or her.
Gambling would threat for you if you became so addict on it, if you are spending the whole time of you time with this, if you don't have things to do aside of gambling, if it disturb you from doing more productive things. Gambling could be considered as fun only if you can control it, if you can still do some productive things than betting.
Do not make gambling as your everyday doings, make it only as your way of entertainment.
Well said mate, it will depend on the person who gambles, if they can control themselves while gambling then it would not harm them, gambling will only be threat on you if it will be the one that will control you, if you are wasting all of your time by gambling.Gambling would threat for you if you became so addict on it, if you are spending the whole time of you time with this, if you don't have things to do aside of gambling, if it disturb you from doing more productive things.

So if you want gabling yo be threat on you, make it only as your entertainment or way to kill the feeling of being bored, I know people are being addict on it because of the reward that they get when gambling. Some considered gambling as source of income but actually that is not really possible because the chances of losing gambling is higher than winning.
you can be addicted too the other way around and not only because of the reward that you can get . take example video games , they are addictive but they dont involved money or betting . i am addicted on gambling because of the reward and i think that i can use it as a source to earn extra income . its tiring because the money that i already build for days can blow up in just 1 gambling session if ever bad luck strikes but i have no choice so far , because my income is still limited on my current job and still i can earn on gambling on some other times if im lucky
