Topic: Is gambling bad to the society? - page 31. (Read 7981 times)

The worst is that people is taking gambling as a source of income and gambling is not a trust worthy something and that's why you don't need to trust gambling, but if you fail to understand that gambling is a something that has to do with opportunity you will be depressed when you continously to lose gambling, I don't mind to lose in gambling as many time, because I know that one of the elements of gambling is that you most experienced loss provided you are a serious gambler, I have not see anything bad for someone to just a gambler, when it's bad is when you don't have the understanding that you neither lose in gambling or you gain.

It is difficult sometimes to get that control, I think the easiest way is through discipline, but it is something that costs a lot, because you have to be there in the game playing and feeling the emotion, the adrenaline, what you have risked and you do not want to lose and you hold on to it, sometimes it is difficult to control that, but one of the best ways is to control the money and that before playing, but that is something that very few apply, first because they find it boring and second because they believe that they do not need it, even if we are very sure we should do it, it is the smartest way to do well our activity in the casino or in a sports bet.

If we are to consider all these to be as a result of gambling, we might as well look towards alcoholism to have similar effects too. Yet, these are not being looked at in the same light. Yet you wouldn’t find these being looked at the same way. The problem isn’t gambling itself, it’s the abuse: so it is with drugs: aren’t you surprised that the normal pharmaceuticals is what is still abused today. Should these be cast away because, it’s been abused?

Once you’re addicted, then you’re in for a real trouble and that  isn’t the problem of the casino or bookie. It’s just you, not having that control about your gambling habit. It’s that simple. The gambling industry is a taxed one and one that has helped some forks too.

They are the same but they have different negativities and positivities. If you are an addict to alcohol it's more worst than addicted gambler. If you are drunk, you misbehave because you aren't on your right senses, but if you are a gamble addict your level of misbehaving have limits. People who are addicted only chase their losses and it makes them lose more. Alcoholic makes people takes do things without their right senses. The reason why gamblers are addicted is because they want to recover their loses and they end up at the wrong way because they are addicted and didn't recover they lose.

Thank you for giving clarification there. Addiction to alcohol is the same thing to addiction in gambling. Many people feel it is different when they know that it cause them to make bad decisions in life and poor management of finances. When someone is addicted to alcohol he spend money on buying drinks without thinking to know when to stop. They rather buy for people around them, trying to show off and this is because of the intoxication from the alcohol. And this same thing happens in gambling, an addicted gambler continues gambling not minding whether he is losing or wining.

Gambling has become bad in society because many people experience huge losses from gambling because they cannot control their emotions and make gambling a source of income. I can't deny that many of my friends in poor districts are addicted to gambling and they become lazy about working and just hope they can turn their daily money from a few dollars into hundreds and even thousands of dollars. This is completely different from some rich people who gamble just for fun. Or someone who can set a budget for their gambling. So in my opinion this is a situational condition but in my circle people experience losses due to gambling.

Yeah, I guess you are right.

At the end of the day it is personal responsibility.

If someone is not up to the standard, then that's on them I guess...

It's up to us. If a person is irresponsible, they don't even need to gamble to make shit happen. Once upon a time on the internet I came across an example that perfectly demonstrates that the shit we do is ourselves. We all have kitchen knives at home, and every day in the world people die from kitchen knives, but that's no reason for everyone not to use knives for their intended purpose. Same goes for gambling.

Yes, what he said made me laugh, friend, I agree with you on this. Thinking of gambling as a place or intermediary to change fate is a stupid idea, there are no significant results with just a little effort such as paying attention, guessing and pressing buttons , oh yes and there are also no significant results consistently in a place that always runs randomly without being noticed. based on any certainty and guarantee. There is no element of consistency in terms of winning, it will all just happen by chance when you are really lucky.

This means that I will never put stupid beliefs about gambling that can change fate, because if that were true then there would be no gamblers who would experience bad impacts in their lives such as losing a lot of money like those gamblers who are addicted, and also like you. say that if indeed gambling provided a guarantee of wealth or gambling was a place to get away from poverty then surely no one would want to work as a laborer which required them to put in a lot of sweat, energy and time to get a steady salary. The point is, however and forever, gambling can never be used as a place to get away from poverty, because after all there is no certainty or guarantee of always being able to produce wins while the possibility of defeat is always lurking.

I can not deny that when I started playing in all the casino games, well I lost a lot of money, but in the midst of all that when I played I spent so much money that when I was in the middle of the game the money for me was like chips, things that did not matter much, what mattered to me at that moment was the game and the desire to win, so that blinded me and when the game session was over was when I entered reality and I had those blows of regret, so sometimes when emotions dominated me even above the money I felt very bad, risk management is always important to apply and before playing and deciding how much money we are going to spend, it is the best way to protect yourself.

People can blame others or the casino or other gambling board for covering their own fault if they don't get the expected profit. Naturally it is certainly not absolute which gambles with itself. Gambling addicts lose control over themselves and tend to keep losing.

Today I saw a second post from you in which you directly stated that gambling can lift you out of poverty. Well, is it possible for you personally to ask out how much you have “earned” from gambling? I, of course, understand that for different people, wealth is valued in different amounts, but someone who participates in subscription companies for a few dollars cannot claim that he “works” in gambling. I can understand that this money can be spent on entertainment, but for game work, it is doubtful. So, what is next? I might change my point of view, but don’t you think that if everything were so simple, people would not look for a job with a stable income but would stupidly play in a casino, and that’s it?

And yes, of course, we are always tempted or motivated by the winnings our neighbors have made. But life is such that the more we look away, the less we see the opportunities that are sometimes given to us.

One thing I've come to understand is that people tend to baby mor on negatives than obvious positives. They'll be fast to mention that gambling destroys people without making those people take responsibilities of their actions, people get addicted to drugs, womanizing, alcoholism and the lots of them, they're blessed for their indulgence and not the alcohol, not did they ban alcohol production in the country.

Gambling has a different fate, as soon as someone gets addicted, the casino is to be blamed and plenty policies and bad names will be implemented to run the casino down, these people are responsible for their misconducts and not the casino, Any gambling addict should be made responsible for his loses, attitude and misconducts. The earlier people understand that, the better they can both prevent and control situations that emanates from gambling addiction.

gambling in general is not bad, but because the aim is to double the money it is certainly wrong because with such a goal it will only make us lose self-control, gambling that is not bad is for the purpose of just entertainment, nothing more than that, but when they If you gamble more than that, of course bad things will happen because it was already wrong in the first place. where they carry out actions with thoughts that can trigger them to become addicted and become addicted, which as a result makes it difficult for them to get out when they are addicted and the bad effects cannot be avoided. Don't think that when we are bankrupt or don't have money, we instead choose gambling as a solution, even though there is a chance of winning, there is no guarantee and even if we are bankrupt, gambling cannot guarantee that it will provide a profitable win that can make us have a lot of money.

As long as you have good self-control, actually gambling is not bad, if someone who is poor then gambles and can get a big win that can change his life, including that of his family, he is truly very lucky. because in my opinion, not everyone can get a big win that can change their life drastically, of course this only happens to those who are really lucky, because even small wins in gambling are generally difficult to get, so many people experience big losses. That's because they force themselves too much to gamble because they want to win even though winning in gambling is based on luck alone. Yes, although there is some gambling that requires skill, that doesn't mean it's free from luck.

It must be admitted that the majority of gamblers experience this, only some people can gamble responsibly. This fact cannot be denied, which is why gambling is so bad in the eyes of society because the impacts of gambling are very diverse, as the OP mentioned.

There are still many people who use gambling as a source of income so that gambling has a negative impact on society, even though gambling is only for entertainment and seeking pleasure. However, if you cross the line, especially if you have a get-rich-quick mindset, gambling will be detrimental to yourself and even your family.

In my country, online gambling is still illegal, but online gambling players in my country are one of the largest players in the world and the impact of gambling is very negative, so it is not surprising that in my country if you are caught gambling you will be ostracized in society.

In as munch as children cannot be blamed for the addiction a gambler, they still cannot be the reason a gambler will not get addicted in some cases, it a thing of personal decisions and discipline especially on the side of the gambler who wants and have decided to do whatever it is that have gotten them to the point where they are at the moment. A gambler who has placed his priorities especially with what maters to them most will know how well to place the importance of his children with his gambling activities and know if he will want to put first the satisfaction of his gambling activities or that of his children or family, he sense of responsibility is something they don't get to force on some one, it has got a whole lot to do with a self decision in that respect. lastly talking about choosing the casino games as not  been a responsible way to relieve your stress is a very wrong perception because its very possible that you can find the actual relieve you desire and need to get from the casino much more than you get from other activities, then it wouldn't be wrong getting to choose that as a hobby provided you are able to make sur to responsibly handle it.

Gambling should never be given so much importance as people's human rights. Gambling should be considered as a normal game like any other game. If gambling results affect you, you should still gamble with caution. In case of gambling, if the outcome goes in our favor, we gamble with motivation and if the outcome of the gambling goes against us, we gamble with more money to recover our losses. The point here is whether we lose or win we decide to gamble at the end of it all.
I am not speaking against gambling but I am trying to warn a gambler about this so that he can control himself and not get addicted to gambling. A gambler will never suffer much financially if he gambles responsibly so we must be responsible.

Or opposite might happen. Children might see other gamble, and never get interest in such activity. You can never know what will happen. And you should not make future plans built on "might get" factor. We see alcohol ads on the billboards, TV, parents drink alcohol on every party or event. I havent noticed that every kid is an alcoholic now.

Again people fantasize that childrens dream is to find out that adults gamble, watch they do it and become addicted. Cant wait when adults stop seeing children addiction in every action children see. Why people are not against toys manufacturers, that create gun toys? From your logic, when a kid see an action movie and plays with his guns, he will become a serial killer. Why do kids play with toy soldiers then? That is army. Army = guns = killing = addicted to violence/killing.

Children can't be blame because they don't know anything about gambling but they can becomes curious with gambling if they see many adults people or even their friends playing gambling. If someone becomes addicted to gambling while he have children in his family, that children can see that playing gambling is okay but that truth is not okay because children can follows behind that person to playing gambling.

Soon after children playing gambling, they will find an excitement from gambling and that can makes them difficult to leave gambling. It needs awareness from the society not to playing gambling in front of their children because that can gives a bad effect to their children. We can not imagine how if that society playing gambling together in front of children. That can makes children thinks that they can playing gambling too but they will not thinks about the risks that can happens to them.

for some reason, it is those who people want kids the most are the people not blessed with kids and people who are undeserving of kids are usually the ones given kids,

life is a bit unfair like that
i don't think they appreciate anyone or anything at all once they are way in too deep into addiction of any kind but specifically gambling where all they care about is winning and winning money that is.
they can definitely help you prevent being addicted or get you healed a strong support system is always needed in such cases
