There are many thoughts that say that it is good or bad, but personally I say that each person has their own way of thinking, their own way of seeing things, the game will always be for those who want it their own way, but conceptually I see that it is not bad, but of course, you have to respect the fact that there are people who have their customs, their religion, their beliefs, all of this is what things are based on for the game, and each thought must be respected, for me that is the basis of everything, even in the debates that form here in these threads.
Topic: Is gambling bad to the society? - page 13. (Read 7962 times)
Getting an addiction is the complicated part of gambling and that is why when bet too often, it can be seen as a bad altitude towards gambling. There are many people that have find themselves in gambling addiction and still battling with it how they could come out of it. If their are too many gamblers who had became addicted to gambling, this could pose a serious threat to the nature how people in such surrounding leaves their lives. There are always advantages and disadvantages to gambling and we don't have to take it too seriously even though that is the major source of income to us.
An environment or society with lots of gambling addicts will never in a lifetime believe that gambling has an advantage. The behavior of problem gamblers has made people think or accept that gambling is evil for society. Aside from that, gamblers experience severe struggles dealing with addictions; society, their loved ones, and family suffer from the person living with gambling addiction.
Those advantages of gambling are getting erased quickly, as the amount of responsible gamblers is too low compared to compulsive gamblers. Non gamblers can't think of any player who is responsible.
There are different societies from place to place, some societies consider gambling as a normal activity while there are some areas where gambling is considered a criminal act and people in those societies do not look favorably on gamblers. Especially in Muslim countries, gambling is criminalized and those who gamble are punished by law. Gamblers in those societies are frowned upon by the people of the society and try to avoid them at all times. But apart from these, all the other countries that have allowed direct gambling have many physical casinos in their country where people can conduct all the gambling activities.
Gambling is good to the society but gamblers makes gambling look harmful to the society because they cannot control their greed which will finally land them into addiction. Some people have made it through gambling because after winning big, they were able to invest the money and it is a big achievement to them. On the other hand gambling have destroyed a lot of people future because they got carried away with making profit in gambling and that ruined their business, families and lives. It depends on what you take gambling for that will be the outcome. I totally agree with, gambling depend on what you want to believe it as. Most people who are disciplined in their gambling would tell you gamble is fun, whereas others who take it as a source of income and get addicted along the way would say there is no fun in gambling because of the risk and fear of losing the last money left with you. And people like this, are more than those with self discipline who can actually use their Brains to make decisions rather than letting their emotion to make decisions for them. And the society due to the majority of struggling gambles or the bad records of addicted gamblers, they have come with a general conclusion that gambling is bad, but we all know the truth that indiscipline and greed is the cause of those actions .

I think that before we can assumed that something is bad, numbers must be taken into consideration. If you look deeply into gambling business, it's not like people are not winning, they are but when you look at the number of people that are losing money and people that are making money from gambling, the gap is very wide and large but the funny thing is that despite these numbers, gamblers don't care because the addiction involves is very terrible.
Gambling addiction is just like any other addiction out there that many people are struggling to beat but when you remove money from it, there is fun in it but do you think people will even play gambling when money is removed completely from gambling, people wouldn't turn out and even the companies will cease to exist even if they are been paid by the governments.
Mate, I have to disagree with you because you approached the matter in perspective aspect and not wholistic. What do I mean? You alleged that gambling had made some people break through poverty. This is true and not whole true. In order to determine the overall impact of gambling, you have to compare the number of people gambling has made to be poor and the number of people it lifted from poverty.
If there's any data available for this, I'll like to have it posted here. Gambling has made more people poor, depressed, turn criminals etc than it has made people rich. So we judge from the overall performance if gambling and not from the success of a few people.

Oh. I think I got misunderstood. The point I was trying to make was that gambling is not a net-negative event. It's similar to every other endeavors in life. I will explain.
Even in trading, it is a zero-sum game where one person wins when another losses. Now, do we say that trading is a terrible venture or that it is net-negative? No.
Another instance, in any career, there are also winners and losers only difference is that you don't lose your money but time invested for the endeavor.
Most people on this thread have successfully painted gambling as a grave offense that nobody should take part in but that's not the case actually. Everything that gambling is about, is widely talked about — it's a high-risk, high-reward venture.
I have read a post in this forum where someone was trying to capture the advantages of gambling to the society. I read carefully to understand the advantages and it seems I was disappointed in the end. I saw reasons like;

Yup. As much as gambling is bad, it still has some good sides especially if 1 out of every 100-1000 gamblers make life changing money.

Just the same way those who use Bitcoin make it appear as an illegal means of payment, the kind of view and idea people will have about a particular thing is based on how the people who make use of that thing handle it around that area with the high rate of gambling addiction among some youths. Anyone who stays close to such an area and doesn't take the chance to do their own research will believe without doubt that everything about gambling can't have a positive impact. legendary

Well, the gambler itself is the one responsible if they want gambling to influence them negatively/positively. It's just that, majority are not a discipline gambler resulting to addiction. The reason why gambling is seeing by society as bad due to its effect to the players who are not able to control themselves. And we know people around are also affected if their relative is addicted. Family problems, crimes, physical and mental issues are also present.
All the problems you said are caused by people who are not disciplined in gambling and I also really agree with that because every bad trigger certainly comes from ourselves, not from what we wear or use to trigger problems such as addiction in something. Because when someone who is not disciplined works in another place, he will not achieve success so he cannot blame the place he works but must blame himself. Likewise with things related to gambling because this also requires extra discipline from each player. Right , people are usually attracted to gambling for two reasons. Although people are attracted to gambling for entertainment, the number of such gamblers is very low. People are mostly attracted to gambling for money and in this case they do not give any importance to judge the good and bad of the society. Some bad natured gamblers have a bad effect on the society especially some bad natured gamblers do not hesitate to do bad things like hijacking and theft along with violence against women to manage gambling money.
Highlighting the term to manage gambling money, in what essence? Were you trying to say that they do all that to get gambling money? It's pretty considerate to view the latter as the proper term because all those illicit actions you mentioned can't manage gambling money. Instead, it'll get the player into trouble and a long-term financial brokenness. Such gamblers are already addicted and can't survive a day without gambling. And for this, they'll go a long way to make life unconducive for people in their environment, which does not positively promote gambling.

Yup. As much as gambling is bad, it still has some good sides especially if 1 out of every 100-1000 gamblers make life changing money. Gambling is actually a zero sum game but on steroids. This means, it can be a make or break moment for you but won't find out. I won't say the net outcome for gambling is net negative because despite all of its bad sides, gambling has change some lies. Now, that's a fact we all can't deny. Btw, The fun part is actually just a bonus. You can make /loss money but have fun doing so
A sum zero games when you keep gamblers enclosed and their money, however gambling is also an industry with tends to go along with other ones like tourism and traveling. Las Vegas is a good example of it, if your enclosed environment is Las Vegas, then there is a net accumulation of capital in the city coming from the outside, money coming from losing gamblers and tourists who are responsible enough not to go crazy and lose more than they can afford to lose. Their money is used to pay for the salaries and benefits of employees and staffers.
So, while there are obvios downsides coming from gambling onto society as a whole, it is also true there are actual jobs being maintained thanks to such industry.

Whichever way we want to look at gambling, it is a bad habit that can negatively affect others if we fail to gamble with caution.
Of course, gambling can be dangerous. This is a trivial statement, there is nothing new in it. But let's face it: we are surrounded by a huge number of dangerous things that we tolerate solely because they can be useful to us. Even if it concerns kitchen knives or chainsaws - these are all very dangerous things. But they have become absolutely indispensable in everyday life. Or take bank loans. After all, according to one proverb: "A loan is a loaded gun." Especially if the loan is not taken to buy a household item, for example, a laptop, but for a business. Do entrepreneurs always manage to repay loans? In this sense, gambling is no more dangerous than a kitchen knife or a loan for business development. You must be immune to addiction.

it's just better to go on without listening to other people's opinions so much
it's a solo journey at the end of the day, we meet friends and all but we are born and die alone
it is what it is
as crazy as it may sound
We don't have to listen to other people but sometimes we are weak and makes us thinks about what people say. That can makes our emotion change into bad and we can not see what is good for us and we can also become temper. Although that is a solo journey for us but we must not forget that we lived in a society and if you and your neighbor are close and often to talk or meet daily, you should consider to be careful when we are with them.it's a solo journey at the end of the day, we meet friends and all but we are born and die alone
it is what it is
as crazy as it may sound
At least, we are human which needs other people in our life and we can lived alone. If we choose to lived alone, we can moves to a place that doesn't have other people in around us. But that will looks strange for other people. Well, that will depends on each people. If you want to playing gambling, it is better you hide from other people so they will not judge us because that can bring a bad effect to other people.
if we are weak we should work on becoming stronger
I know this is easier said than done but it's the quest of a lifetime and one of the reasons we are in this planet.
one must do it.
Whether gambling is bad or not depends on how each person access or sees it.We all know that gambling is risky,but most persons are thanking God for giving people the brain to be able to bring a game like this to the world.Yes, gambling can frustrate your life,but when you know how to go about it,you will always be happy,and while some persons are saying gambling is bad for the society,you will be saying gambling is good for the society.No doubt,it is only few people who gambling have favoured,But those people can relate more on how gambling has been good to them.So because of that,we cannot totally say that gambling is bad.
I think a person can take gambling in two ways gambling for enjoyment and gambling for income. Those who gamble for enjoyment never waste extra time gambling. And those who gamble for money. For gambling they waste both money and time behind gambling. I think people who are smart will never over greedy while gambling and waste money gambling.
