Topic: Is gambling bad to the society? - page 16. (Read 7979 times)

Gamblers are the ones who cause gambling to be viewed badly by society. The reason is quite simple because gambling players who cannot control their emotions will do anything to get money to gamble, say they steal and this is the main factor that causes gambling to be underestimated. Even though the gambling business is quite good for those who really understand it.

Apart from that, gambling players relatively don't have permanent jobs so if they lose they will think negatively about getting money. I hope that people's views can be in accordance with the existing facts because if they have a job and need a place to relieve stress then a gambling house is an ideal place. and they have to think clearly that gambling is a game for fun, not gambling that leads them to misery in life or  fell into poverty because of gambling.

Totally not bad but it do ends up on getting that bad impressions towards the community just because on the things on what people are doing or the decisions that they are making while playing it.
This is why it would really be getting up that kind of impressions on which its really that negative and this is why there are people even have those point of views that on the moment or time that someone is really that playing up gambling then automatically means that someone is really that addicted into it on which its really that very wrong but well you cant blame out someone on why.

Gambling isnt that bad as long you do make yourself being mindful and be responsible on the things that you are really that dealing on with.If you do find yourself on such aspect
that you do play desperately for the sake of money or winning and not for fun, then this is a solid indication that you are really that already becoming that addicted into it.
This is why it would really be better that you should really know on what you are doing and be wary about it.

Well that's the main point, as you said and I also think the same that gambling is not bad, it's just a normal activity but it does have risks, and there is also no coercion from the casino that tells gamblers to always play or get involved, meaning it all depends on the decision of the gamblers themselves.

From the beginning it was clear that gambling is a risky activity, meaning it should not be done blindly without any consideration, but the proof is that many of them experience a slump, especially gamblers who are already addicted, meaning they treat gambling in the wrong way or not recommended so that in the end they experience a slump, and it is also clear that the ones to blame are themselves who from the start treated gambling in the wrong way.

On the other hand, I quite agree with your opinion that by not doing excessive actions, it does not mean that we will not get victory, this is gambling where it does not mean that your hard work in pursuing victory will guarantee that you will be able to get more victory, because no matter how hard you try if luck is not on your side, victory will always be far from you, and this is the reason why gamblers who act excessively actually experience defeat in greater amounts.

this comment is just a little bit weird

gambling is not bad for society but there's a problem and people have "misused their privilege to gamble" (?)
what do you mean?

we probably agree that some people lack sufficient self control and their reward system is skewed so gambling will ruin their lives
should we allow gambling or not after agreeing with the last sentence?

that is an interesting debate freedom vs taking care.

Gambling is not bad for the society but the problem is that many people had misused the privilege they have to gamble and make money and turn it to something else. We can always make money from gambling if we don't misuse it especially gambling too much when we ought to take it gradually. We all want to make money from gambling for those of us that are gamblers but that does not mean that we are going to go too far trying to bet frequently so we can keep making profit from it. If the government can regulate the way people to gamble to prevent or reduce gambling addiction, that would be quite better and will make gamblers to gamble less and not too much.

some will argue that psychological suffering is even worse than physical suffering
I don't know, would have to think about that

but I'd agree that gambling ends up doing more bad than good... crazy how the world works

Overall, yes, of course gambling is only intended for adults, none other than because adults in general have succeeded in reaching a fairly mature mindset within themselves, in the simple sense that they are really able to differentiate between what is good and what is wrong. The bad thing is, except for people who have mental disorders, while small children or those who are underage are of course at an age that is still very unstable, especially when they cannot control their emotions.

Another thing about the reason why more and more people are now getting involved in gambling, including small children or underage children, I am sure that the biggest reason or trigger is that now most people prefer to spend most of their free time playing on cellphones. to access social media, which of course I think we all know that the internet is the biggest medium for casinos to promote, so of course indirectly it is very possible for people, including minors, to be reached by gambling when they spend more time playing on the internet, where the internet has now become a necessity. And what's more, quite a lot of new casinos are popping up that don't implement KYC, so it makes it easier for underage children to fall prey.

The influence can affects to other people. Perhaps you already saw a groups of kids playing games together. While they playing, some kids doing different thing and that makes other kids curious and want to know what they do. They asks about that and feels that they can do that so that makes them follow what their friends do. Imagine that if some kids smoke or drug or other bad things. That can influence other kids who close to them can follow and do the same thing. I say like that because some kids in my environtment doing this as some poeple caught them do something suspicious besides of just smoke. Bad influence can enter to people's minds easily than a good influence.

Addicted gambler will not initiate you but they can influence you without you realizes by watching them playing gambling. When you see they wins for some rounds, your minds will affect you by telling that you can do that too. One person can affect to all people in that environment.

Yes, they must responsible in gambling to avoids the bad things. But most people will not thinks much about responsible in gambling because gambling can gives them fun and entertainment so they will still playing gambling use more money. That can gives the bad effect to them as they will not realizes what is going on with them and they will not listen to other people's suggestion.

Society must know about this and will not lets this people doing something bad or influence other people to do the same thing. But if society can not control or don't know if some people are doing something not good or even playing gambling, that can slowly affect to other people who doesn't have control, limitation, discipline or something that will helps them to stay away from gambling.

Brother, I have seen many people who are addicted to excessive gambling, they all lost all their wealth at one time, they won a little bit of luck in the beginning, and that's how they became addicted to gambling and They then got greedy and gambled more and lost money, and due to excessive addiction, at some point they They gambled by selling their assets and lost their assets at a loss. There are still many such people who lose their wealth by doing such things.

Gambling is not bad, but people addicted to this kind of irresponsible excessive gambling, by doing this kind of thing, have introduced gambling as bad among the common people and in our society. But those who are responsible put themselves in a stable position, gambling only with those money they can afford to lose, and thus they always do well. So gambling is risky but not bad at all, but because for some nonsense and For people with excessive gambling addiction people, gambling is known to us as bad.

The exact meaning of players who are not supposed to gamble engaging in the game is yet to be known. Since it's an open game for anybody above 18 years, participating in the game shouldn't be called for, because they're players who have enough money and still engage into gambling. Though the risk applies to everyone regardless of their financial status, the center of attraction remains young and growing people who don't care of the risks attached to gambling. Their contribution to the sad experience and publicity the society has on gambling is quite high. Most of them are not experienced and do not care about being responsible, their aim remains the monetary fulfilments which can be earned in gambling.

from the beginning gambling is meant for adults and not babies or teenagers, but when you check recently you will see that gambling at this present time every one participate in gambling even people who can feed completely three square meal daily is participating in gambling due to they are in search of luck, so what is happening today in our society is as result of abuse due to tender ages that associate themselves in gambling without knowing the implications.

There is nothing like friendly manner if gambling when there is too much hunger in the land and lack of job opportunities, the only thing available is gambling wih intention of making money, no other thing they do but to make money gambling and you don't expect people to lose money when the have priorize money before even understanding how gambling works. The society is full of young men that are trying to balance their won share pressures.

I don't see all this as a problem in the society if the government can limit gambling and should deposit of a particular threshold which is should be for everyone and no account will be increased of their deposit until your total withdrawals exceed your total deposit and that shows that you are good in gambling and what you do but the casino wouldn't be able to make all these money they make from customerrs.

Talking like this is easy for those of us who already understand gambling and have the mindset of gambling just for fun. However, it must be admitted that there are many gamblers out there who have experienced all the things said by the OP above, maybe it is not only in my country that this has happened, it has also happened in several countries.

This all happens because they gamble not for fun but make gambling a source of income, or they want to get out of their poor lives so they hope to win the jackpot from gambling games.

So if you ask me, is gambling a bad activity in the eyes of society? In general, of course yes and that's very normal. because there are so many people who gamble irresponsibly so they make a lot of mistakes and there are lots of negative impacts of gambling on society which ultimately makes gambling very bad for society.

The potential risks when dealing up with gambling on uncontrolled manner.

1. Too much spending/ Compromise life savings
2. Risks of getting addicted
3. Unbalanced spending of time when putting up much focus on gambling sessions
4. Irresponsible budgeting limit and prioritize gambling
5. Potential criminal act

On the moment that you do have that different treatment or approach towards gambling then you would really be might be ending up with these conditions on which we know
that on the time or moment that you do find yourself having that of approach towards it, then high chances or probability that you might really be ending up
with this kind of situation. Gambling isnt bad to society since its just for entertainment thing, what makes it bad is on the moment that someone do make out some
shit decisions that makes up shit conditions because of being too impulsive and being too irresponsible.

I agree with you that gambling can lead to serious problems, including financial difficulties and criminal activities. To prevent such situations, self-control and increased awareness of the dangers of gambling are important. Responsible behavior can minimize the negative consequences, but the risks cannot be completely eliminated.

We all made up the society, there is nothing bad if we do gamble in common, this is nothing than doing it under a friendly manner, gambling is for having fun, we are the ones that are involved in it, if we think about it as a bad thing then we are the bad ones been responsible for it, gambling should be seen with a positive approach and mentality on the purpose for which is was been created for, being entertained and having fun.

True. And different individuals have different ways they react and engage in gambling as well as different communities or societies respond to gambling differently. If you leave in an environment where gambling is regulated for example where children below certain ages cannot participate and where gambling outlets are not littered everywhere, you could do well by controlling the level of addiction amongst gamblers.

Individuals who do not control their usage to gambling find it easier to become addicted to gambling than individuals who control their usage.

We can easily say that they should be responsible in gambling so that they can avoid losses and anything that's going to give them bad effect. But even with that, a gambler that has no control will never listen to what are suggested to them. They'd follow their own lead and that's hard to make them use all of the words you used to say to them because they have their own ways of dealing it. Even if it is the society that tells them that they shouldn't be like that, you will not be able to control their counter actions.

If operating according to positive criteria and don't accumulate debts through gambling, society won't be too excessive and say things that are too disrespectful but instead of proving society's disrespectful judgments wrong, we prove them right, even close people become surprised at gamblers when they only think that these people are crazy and live too freely. There are quite a few good arguments as well as viewpoints that are beneficial to gambling, but the evidence becomes too irrelevant when the negativity in the press is overwhelming, the face of gambling is really harmful to society as well as the gambler's family

The problem is that in today's gambling practices we must be aware that more people suffer from some addiction problems than those who gamble responsibly and it is undeniable that gambling can bring more negative effects than positive one s.  But in this case it depends on each person also who does it because in the end we cannot evenly distribute all like that, it's just that the majority of people who gamble must have an addiction which in the end this is considered to be bad.

Indeed, i dont want to be naive that im also a gambler and I realize that in the end the negative stigma about gambling is clearly greater than the positive stigma it has, its just that it goes back to the person as i said above where we cannot judge all gamblers as bad people because in the end there are still some gamblers who can still restrain themselves by gambling responsibly. As for someone's judgment about gamblers, it is a judgment that I think is beyond our reach because we cannot regulate other people's views so they are also free to say anything about gambling .
