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.

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.

Doing gambling on every day basis doesn't dose off gambling addiction neither is a remedy to addiction. Many have been said about making gambling a form of entertainment and not to be see as an earning point. But, these are just verbal saying and virtual suggestions from gamblers randomly, the reality of this is: doing gamble for entertainment reason or purpose is not achievable for 98% of gamblers but here on the forum we'll preach the good gospel without saying the truth therein. Addiction live with all gamblers but some(very few individuals) have control over this act of gambling.

Yes, sports betting for me is just entertainment, nothing more!

That means you are not so serious with it?
Well, as for me, it's really fun as I am entertainment when I am gambling in sports but at the same time, I am also challenge because I follow the games that I specifically bet on and I can say to myself that if I will just keep gambling, I would eventually improve my skills and might making money from sports betting, this is another level because I call this investing in sports.

Yes, I make money in other ways! Grin

For example, trading on an exchange, which can also be called gambling! Wink

And I bet on sports when there are the most interesting matches for me, which I would love to see!
Although I agree - a lot of professional players who make money on this case...

For most players it's just a hobby, but sometimes it can turn into a real addiction!
By the way, there is a need to separate types of gambling... For example, bets on sports, in my opinion, are less dangerous than slot machines! I sometimes bet on the victory of the team for which I will be cheering, and watch the match with friends! For me, it's just extra emotions and entertainment... Cheesy

Glad this is just your opinion and doesn't have any statistic backing because in my opinion I'll say sport betting has to be more addictive since it's a more engaging and those are the type of activity that get people addicted easily. We have the fan sprit and love for the game that can result to unthinkable actions to be executed like using all your savings just to back your club to win a match you know fully well they're the least favorite to win.

When you play slot games and lose, you have just yourself to blame as you were the only one in power to change the outcome of the bet you just placed but when you bet on sport games, you divert your blame to the individuals that participated in that sporting events and mostly cultivate harmful thoughts towards them that if precautions measure aren't taking can lead to them getting hurt if you get the opportunity to do so.

It all depends on the will power of man!
I knew some people who played casino like crazy, borrowed money, lost again! For them it all ended sadly...

But if you have a sense of proportion, then you'll be fine! Even if you lose, you'll draw conclusions from it!

Yes, sports betting for me is just entertainment, nothing more! And among my acquaintances, there are no addicts either! What's not to say about slots... It's much worse than that!

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.

It depends on what type of games you're playing.
If you play poker or sport betting for example you'll not systematically lose money. If you have good skills for them, you can even win money.

Depends also what cards you get because yes poker or other games needs skills before you win because they have many combination and a player to learn about different techniques on how to win.

But trully that once a player is addicted is many of them are forget what they need to do first or their priority because the only need they think is play gambling and using more money even that is use for their needs they still playing that become threat to you and family of the player.

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.

Exactly. It starts as fun but it ends as a thread in the end.
If you have a measure in your gambling activity and you can stop when you start losing a lot of money then gambling never becomes a thread.
However, most people do not realize that and they keep betting a lot of money.

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.

we all have the gambling attitude where we wanted to win the every bet or game in the gambling website for sure we are going to experience a lot of losing in the game. We still have a responsibility and be careful when we are playing because we could easily give it up on our emotion. We know that gambling is depending in our luck so nothing really we could do about it so we just need to do discipline at all time that way we could be wise in our actions.

It depends on the gambler himself. It could be either of the two. I agree that gambling is just a mere hobby and pastime to some that develops into addiction overtime depending on a person’s self-control. Some even started it off as form of entertainment, but went over board. It’s also true that there are different types of gambling hence, must be separated from one another.

For me, casinos enterprises are the trickiest among all. Other gambling forms like what you said, betting in sports (basketball, soccer, football, volleyball, ice hockey, etc) really gives off entertainment and thrill because you bet on it and you exert effort to cheer them to win.

It depends on the person, maybe gambling for them is just a hobby and to other is an addiction they are looking for, And if they lose control this can be cause their life to be ruined. And for me gambling is just a hobby and I have control of myself especially when I know losing, so all I have to do is shutdown my computer and find something else to spend time.

Because I like to play gambling, I have entered several sites. And gambling is fun in personal experience, because by gambling I can make money with the victory that I experienced. Although sometimes losing more than winning, it's really fun.

Gambling is really entertaining plus the fact that there's a money involve makes it more exciting. However not all gamblers are treating it the way it supposed to be because some people are playing to double their money or to become rich. Gambling can be a good way to entertain ourselves but it can also ruin someone's lives if the particular gambler became addicted.

Though we can do both,entertaining while profiting but?if we knew how to manage our gaming purpose.
normal that lose is there and we need to accept that but at least we have enjoyed the whole playing time.
the problem occur if gamblers seek fro revenge i mean try to chase their losses and in this part most of them turns to be addicted and greed.
know how to manage gambling and surely your future will never be ruined .

There's standard way nor strategy with regards to the way how you treat gambling. Thus it doesn't matter if you're placing your bet with huge proportion of your capital as long as you know what you're doing. At the end of the day, the output of your play will determine if the way you treat gambling is wether correct or not. In most cases even though you think that what you do is correct, output will still end against what you're expecting which is just normal.

To expect or to hope to become rich is not a bad thing, but gamblers needs to understand that it's not easy as they think, they need to be realistic and beat the percentage that only few of the gambler who aim to be rich became successful.

Choosing the game is vital, if you are fan with sports, you do sports betting and your aim is to grow by improving your skills and consider it as your passion, that way you'll always love what you do and you'll be inspired.

there is a gambling that does not involved with money and it still labeled as a gambling because of the games that have been used but many new games can also be used on gambling and not just the traditional ones . sticking games is okay , i remember one time i want to play all games .it makes me tired and loose more than i expect to win . that is why i ony foccus on one game , i already develop a good strat which makes me earn something good . and yes we should stick on reality and not too assuming because that can lead to a bigger bust than on getting smal wins

Maybe, if we have money and time management, self-control, self-discipline, knows the chances of winning and losing, recognizes gambling as fun and knows how to stop, Gambling will be harmless and will not be labelled as threat.

Definitely because it's up to the gambler on how they will handle themselves, there are responsible but we can't deny that there are also people who can't learn from their mistakes and they don't know they are already destroying their life because of gambling.

However, we can't blame gambling for that, we need to blame the gambler.

Just like a criminal kill someone with a gun, we don't blame the gun but the criminal.

Agree, basically it all depends on the gamblers themselves about what and how they use gambling, because even though they make gambling as a source of income but on the one hand they have good control and management, of course things like this will not make gambling a threat to his life. I think, as long as they can play or gamble by being aware of all the risks, it will be fine because they are prepared with bad risks that may occur, but when they have the awareness, of course they will also have good control and know when to stop when lose and also win.
