Topic: Is gambling bad to the society? - page 21. (Read 7977 times)

According to my research, gambling is inherently one of people's entertainment tools, but many people abuse it and consider it a place to get rich quickly. Many people become addicted and cause social evils because it. Over time, gambling began to be considered harmful to society, so more and more people had a negative view of it as well and some countries were unsympathetic to it for fear of the consequences it would cause can't be controlled. Actually gambling is not bad at all if we use it properly and correctly. Just like bitcoin, if we use it for good purposes it is really useful, but if criminals use it it is completely opposite.

I think good or bad depends on how we use it and for what purpose, if we only play gambling after stressful working hours and stop at the right time, how can we call gambling bad?

don't you know that there is some countries that does not accept to gambling even till today gambling does not exist in such country they only operate illegally but based on internet and Influence recently that makes gambling to be widely known, so from my understanding of gambling some countries still restricting some persons of gambling mostly people who is not up to eighteen years is not allowed to participate in gambling, but the way we are taking things now in some countries young youths who is not up to age is now involving in gambling, so many countries has not legalized gambling as am speaking with you right now.

If you say irresponsible gambler, then you are right. As a gambler, you should be able to tell when to get hold of yourself. State rules and always having your limited amount for the day or week. You shouldn't be irresponsible when gambling. Like those who go into visuals, these people are actually the ones society is met to be looking into because, why do you gamble until you gamble with your own dress? What the heck!  this is alarming? There's actually fun in gambling when you gamble well; that's why lots of developed countries are even going into it every day. To avoid addiction, get rules and always stick to them.

Education is key to defusing this whole damage argument, its impossible to outlaw risk and even gambling.  People will always gamble always have for thousands of years I have zero doubt on that.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
( Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

you know why some countries doesn't accept gambling because they know the bad effect of it, not only knowing the bad effect but they've heard about it in some other countries what gambling can cause in heir society. But in some countries they do put some restrictions towards it and whenever you're not up to that age you can't gamble even online or at the gambling shop. But in some countries they don't have any restrictions and gambling is also helping them with their economy situation but the bad side it's that anybody can gamble both the youths and it's bad to the society.

don't you know that there is some countries that does not accept to gambling even till today gambling does not exist in such country they only operate illegally but based on internet and Influence recently that makes gambling to be widely known, so from my understanding of gambling some countries still restricting some persons of gambling mostly people who is not up to eighteen years is not allowed to participate in gambling, but the way we are taking things now in some countries young youths who is not up to age is now involving in gambling, so many countries has not legalized gambling as am speaking with you right now.

There is nothing to do if it harms society because gambling is legal in many countries around the world.  Gambling would not have been legalized in many countries of the world if there had been a huge social damage. Because gambling can have a bad effect on a person as a whole if the person takes gambling badly.  There are many people who torture their families to manage their gambling money. In this case, you can't directly blame gambling because that person has been negatively affected by gambling.  If the person had a positive attitude toward gambling, the family might not have abused gambling money to manage it.

A question like that, I think there is no valid answer, because the things you have said are much more important, for i they are far above, the game cannot be a hobby for that reason, in addition to sport, reading books always leaves us with good things, maybe it is not money at once, but if we manage to get a lot out of it and that is what matters, I think the crux of this is accepting that the game is to entertain ourselves without falling into addiction, it is like going to the movies is not done every day but from time to time to get out of the monotony.´

If someone has experienced an addiction to gambling, of course it will continue to make them have the desire to gamble in various circumstances even though they don't have the funds they can use to gamble and usually they will try to fulfill their gambling desires and when someone chases their losses, of course This will be very detrimental to them because it is impossible to win at gambling if we don't have the luck to win the bet we are playing, so it would be better when we are experiencing defeat, we can stop gambling because it will be in vain if we chase defeat to be able to win.

Many people define gambling as they like, above all, gambling is a game of "luck" and it is our "choice" to gamble. These two facts will never change in the field of gambling, which is why we should gamble with a cautious mind so that we can control our feelings towards it, we can't have it all and we are at the mercy of the gambling and casinos depending on the games we are playing, how they make it difficult for us. Also, gambling will always remain in its state, but so long as we go there to play it, it is our choice, and whether we lose or win, we should take it in good faith, we should never let any of the outcomes define us, otherwise, we should abstain from gambling. I said this because of the "addiction" you mentioned and the "need" you tagged with it. Well, that's how you define/view it and I've said earlier, many people have their different definitions/views about gambling. But no matter how I view or define it, I will never still say it is a need for the addicts. Gambling will never be a necessity, it is rather a compulsion for the addicts which is better dust off before it becomes worse.

How can you convince us that gambling as a hobby is better than exercising or reading books? Or are you making analyzes based on a purely subjective point of view?

Even if you don’t have personal money, you will almost always find it with your friends at first, but then everything becomes bad in this regard, since you can’t give it back on time. I remember the moment when all the friends who lent me money turned their backs on me. It was a terrible time for me. I didn't think I could fall so low. Yet he proved that this is possible. What a surprise it was when he began to give funds to all those from whom he took them. They no longer thought that this would happen. We did not count on such a circumstance, but time has put everything in its place.
