Topic: Is gambling bad to the society? - page 22. (Read 7979 times)
Consider gambling as a business can only be their owner, because for customers gambling is entertainment for which you have to pay.
This is something that all casino players have to consider, if a Player is left with any doubts about this he should at least know that the casino will always have the advantage of the house, because a player cannot ignore what he is getting into, a casino player should always know where he is going to put his money and be aware of what his risks are, and as is well known, anyone who bets in a casino, their money is at risk of being lost at any moment, the business is clearly for the Owner of a business, in this case the owner of the casino who will always receive all the money are Profits , that is why it is a profitable business to set up a casino, exchange or something Similar.Only in a high luck event that the gambler win over the casino itself, based on the fact that the team have the need for huge revenue to run the company since their are involved in money paying service since anyone can get lucky to hit a jackpot.
This is why gambling business is said to be a lucrative one. That is, if the owners know how to manage this business. But of course, the government can also benefit from this type of business because of the tax they are paying to them. And I believe, gambling business is known to be the top taxpayers as their earnings is quite huge. Just remember the fact that during Covid days, one of the industries which contributed large sum of assistance to the government was casinos/gambling sites.
Casinos are revenue oriented but that's the perks of this business. We should look into the aspect that they are also helping their government to earn income for them to implement their own projects. As we can't eradicate this industry because it is already part of humanity, what the government can do is just regulate their existence and implement the tax protocols in this type of business.
This is a somewhat unique point of view. So, do you think that gambling is one of the best types of entertainment? But how can you explain to me the cases of addiction that are widespread everywhere, regardless of the nature of society? Did you know that all studies confirm that behavioral addiction is one of the most dangerous psychological diseases? And that 4 out of every ten addicts do not recover from their illness throughout their lives?
The benefits of gambling can be addressed from an economic and social point of view to some extent, but on the individual level, its risks remain far greater than its advantages.
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?
Yes, I’m only giving a personal example, since it’s painfully familiar to me. Who am I to argue with research? As for me, this way of spending free time is much better suited than any other. Well, sometimes I like to spin the slot. This is my favorite entertainment. Naturally, I don’t forget about the time when I was completely at the mercy of the casino.The benefits of gambling can be addressed from an economic and social point of view to some extent, but on the individual level, its risks remain far greater than its advantages.

If you think about it this way, then a fairly large number of people are addicted. It manifests itself in different ways.
At the moment I play quite rarely. I prefer to watch bloggers' broadcasts. It also brings me some satisfaction.
I can assure you that even the most intense gambling addicts do not have the conviction that gambling is their favorite pastime. Simply because they practice gambling out of a psychological need to meet the call of addiction. I can also assure you that no one will reach this conclusion even if they are making profits from gambling. Just like those who are addicted to alcohol, despite the feeling of pleasure and joy that drinking alcohol provides, they do not advise anyone to consume it excessively so that they do not fall prey to pathological addiction.
I respect your opinion since you are talking about your personal experience, but I discussed some points with you because we are in a public forum and your position could have an impact on any of the readers, especially since you are a member with a good reputation on the forum and your opinions can easily find listening ears. Thank you for your positive interaction.

That's right, and I'm sure that gambling wouldn't be as popular as it is now if there was no money involved in it in the first place, meaning it's quite reasonable to say that one of the things that makes people feel more attracted to gambling is because there is money involved. , even though in fact in gambling everyone has the possibility of losing apart from the chance of winning, but if we talk about money then usually people will focus more on the idea of "chances of winning", and this is what makes gamblers fall into the trap and get carried away completely. unconscious until finally addicted.
They like making money but of course everyone doesn't like losing money, and after all gambling is not only an activity that can give you money for free but can also lose you any amount of money in a short time, and this is why we You really need to have a realistic and neutral point of view, because by having a neutral understanding, I think it is less likely for them to be manipulated by their own expectations. Money is everything, and increasing dopamine levels in the brain is something that happens when someone succeeds in realizing their hopes such as winning, but however that only happens when we are lucky. On the other hand, gambling with friends can be more entertaining, even if they lose maybe it won't hurt too much, but winning in a really exciting situation can be more exhilarating.
Yes, this industry wont really be that becoming that big if there would really be no money involved which same as you said on which this had become that big over the ages because people would really be giving out that kind of importance or having that kind of interest on dealing up with something on which they do know that they could really be that potentially be able to make profits if ever they would really be that lucky.They like making money but of course everyone doesn't like losing money, and after all gambling is not only an activity that can give you money for free but can also lose you any amount of money in a short time, and this is why we You really need to have a realistic and neutral point of view, because by having a neutral understanding, I think it is less likely for them to be manipulated by their own expectations.

Speaking about being bad to society then we are really just that focusing too much into those cons that it could possibly give on whereas the real one whose really that wrong on this aspect is into that someone who had been that deciding to make out some bad decisions towards their gambling activity. It isnt really that bad to gamble as long you do make yourself that responsible and this is something that you should be focusing into.
Life conditions or results will really be always reflecting out on the decisions or actions that you are making and not something that could generally be blamed out on gambling itself.
People cant really just that realize those things not until they would really be on such tough situation.
I would say that the various impulsive decisions taken by gamblers are caused because they are too focused on the chance of winning but don't consider the risk of losing which could make them lose money, and the point is yes as you said which is quite simple to say that all these bad impacts would not occur if basically they were able to control their gambling activities according to their abilities and instead of gambling controlling themselves.
I don't see anything wrong in gambling, but that is my own opinion and it does not have to be the same for others. The bookmakers are doing their business, they don't force people to gamble and they also put out the age limit/restriction for gamblers, to make sure that only adults (who are able to make decisions themselves) gamble. If you gamble responsibly, you'll not have any problems, just like when you drink responsibly, or are we also going to say alcohol is bad for the society?
you can think of gambling as a neutral thing like no positive or negative side but if you put it on the balance the analogy with alcohol is a good one
we could try to measure the total net positive in the world for gambling and alcohol in terms of enterteinment, fun, good moments and joy and the total net negative for gambling that would be lives ruined, misery, addiction, people spending all their money, sadness, for alcohol there are a bit more serious problems like violence and deaths that are probably less likely to happen with gambling
I'd guess that both are net negatives but alcohol is a bigger net negative
I'm biased, of course.
Actually I think the answer is no" depending on how you go about it if you're a responsible gambler definitely it won't affect you in any way is only when someone is addicted to gambling that's when we can consider it bad to the society.
Most people don't even gambling to make money they only play gamble just for fun and entertainment, even if they lose is not going to affect them in anyway nobody is going to know if they lose or not they can only win if luck is on their side. Why most people always misunderstand it, I overheard someone saying that gambling is a source of income so I keep wondering that how can you make gambling as your source of income? maybe I think he has a reason for saying that.

Indeed, gambling is basically a means of entertainment, but many people misunderstand their understanding of gambling. where they forget that, they often gamble as a sure way to make money until they forget that gambling is just a means for entertainment and that's because maybe they are addicted to gambling to the point where they lose consciousness in gambling which makes them have wrong thoughts. against gambling. Even their initial motive for gambling was entertainment, but because they were addicted, their gambling motives were different, but this difference only made them experience problems.
What you say is true, especially in gambling, there is a win that can be obtained if you are lucky and they don't see that the win is like that, they often see that the win is certain to be obtained by gambling. Of course, thinking like that makes them very vulnerable to addiction because their focus is actually endangering themselves.

It is absolutely true that gambling games were created precisely to entertain people and not to ruin their lives. I can't even imagine how generous casinos used to be, before they started suing regulators in an attempt to minimize the number of winnings for gamblers. And unfortunately they did it.
Now in any casino, even very famous and large ones, a player can simply turn off access to the casino site if he is playing slots and his session is positive. It's a shame that casinos have degraded to such a level, and more and more money is being spent on their promotion, and not on giving players more to win.
Even though they spend a certain amount of money on promotion or advertising, the aim is to get more people to gamble, and it is very unlikely that I think at the moment they will go bankrupt, of course they can get their money back in a short period of time, apart from that. Occasionally, the casino will give out wins, the aim of which is to make the gambler confident that his future gambling can result in another win and this can make the gambler spread the easy winnings they get by word of mouth to other people.

Normally gambling was meant to be fun inform of an entertainment... but these days I think it's beign use completely for a different motive and since it involves money... it's getting more additiction day by day .
Normally, Every form of Games can bring about addiction if there's no caution taken by the player towards engaging it , gambling is a form of gaming that involves betting so addiction is very possible, to escape addiction same rule is required which is caution towards engagement
Still, gambling is much better than any other “entertainment”. There are many bad people who have replaced their addictions with gambling. Therefore, I only see this as a plus. A kind of panacea for a society that has completely lost the meaning of existence or has completely gone off the rails. Let them spend their time this way rather than go and do bad things.Normally, Every form of Games can bring about addiction if there's no caution taken by the player towards engaging it , gambling is a form of gaming that involves betting so addiction is very possible, to escape addiction same rule is required which is caution towards engagement

Although you are just expressing your own opinion, no one will focus on having the same mindset of thinking with him together, let me take a deep view of the two factors that you are discussing. which the main is gambling, but at the end it is like you also have some interest in drinking (alcohol consumption). These two things are seen in a different light in the community, and believe it or not, they have their own side effects. When you are with them for a long time, you might drink or play gambling responsibly, but with time, in the other way around, you might get addicted either because of life struggle or depression, so don’t define things based on only your opinion but have some consideration. 
Talking about dopamine, does it mean that gambling wouldn't increase dopamine if money wasn't involved?Although the point of gambling would be worthless for not having any reward. Viewing the game as a means of earning or losing money is quite the natural appearance of gambling. And people can't forget it easily. That's why most players always think they'll lose money in gambling. This only makes them want to lose more, because they'll hardly stop a session after experiencing multiple losses. The current form of online gambling can slow down the understanding of gambling for an individual new player. We easily learn from associating with people on same boat with us. Playing all alone makes a player to have limited amount of knowledge or understanding of how gambling work.
But so far gambling is more often used as a choice when they have money to gamble, I understand that someone can still feel entertainment even if for example they don't win, but the opportunity to win in gambling is an additional point to be able to further increase the sensation and dopamine levels in the brain. In fact, as long as you or anyone else is able to treat gambling well based on correct understanding and without exceeding your limits then it won't be a problem, because so far the majority of cases of people who have lost significant amounts of money are those who don't understand. and realize that there is a much greater risk.
Gambling would have been nothing more than a game for kids if money wasn't attached. But, we all thought the entertainment was from the game, but this time money makes gambling entertaining. Despite how simple the slot game is, adults enjoy playing it because of money. People actually get stressed whenever money is involved. That's the thoughts of humans on money.
Players a times get those dopamine in form of a reward for sticking around in a machine for a while. And they are happy for it. More like completing a mission in a video game. I don't think of the type of entertaining trills that could match winning a game. But, players who gamble with friends actually stay entertained even when they've not won.

When you take the context of gaming with the likes of Xbox games and play stations, you will understand that this are pure intention to be entertaining to people but when a multi-player switch from entertainment to some money thing, it becomes the next fist of grabbing money from one another, this is how some casino work in real life. If some games are to be free today in gambling house, many people wouldn't show up there again, this is why gambling will always looks like money before anything.
Just Google research on how much casino generates yearly from Casino from your country, you will be shock by how much thwsw companies generate every year and to my surprise, more company are coming into the market for competition, this is an indication that casino business is a very booming market where millions and billions are been gamble every months and yet none of the gamblers are really millionaires.

Advising any grown man to stay away from gambling is like telling a toddler to not lick a piece of candy, when they already know how good it taste.
Gambling has had an adverse influence on the society at large, but anyway , it's an unavoidable thing for people that make alot of money from it. The sweet thing about it is the idea of wagering with a dollar and winning a hundred or so.

Gambling addiction is very bad in the sense that you don't see the joy in gambling anymore. What you see is ways to get money and how to recover from money in gambling[..]
You know how that's gonna end? Well, it doesn't have an end AFAIK.. if you seriously wanna quit, you'd have to look away. One of biggest lessons to learn is to not chase your loses no matter how possible that may look to you.it depends, you know?
because some people will listen to their friends in a different way they listen to their family,
some people are more prone to accept help than others
a toddler doesn't have rational thinking the same way an adult does and either we like it or not sometimes rational thinking wins over our emotions.
