Yes, children are never to blame for what adults do. I do not understand: how can you even become a player with a strong addiction when there is a child in the family of such a player?
Such a gambler should feel fully responsible for his child, and therefore should not gamble at all. Being a parent is a special status, and even if he has a difficult job, he does not have the right to choose a casino as his hobby, just in order to relieve accumulated stress. You need to take a responsible approach to your life, because the fate of the child depends on it.

You would really be that ending up on this condition if you wont really be that making yourself be careful into the moment that you would really be that tolerating such addiction.On the moment
that you will really be having that kind of approach towards gambling then you would really be definitely be messing up yourself with it. Gambling isnt literally bad, it is really just that the only bad thing is into those people who do have that bad approach towards it will really be ending up on having that kind of disaster. This is why it would be important that you should be having those realizations that it isnt really that something that built for making some income or making money but rather it is really just that good for the sake of having fun and not the other way around.

If we do talk into the bigger perspective on how things works and on its benefits in terms of economical aspect then we do know that this is really that generating that huge revenue
and this is why it wont really be shocking that government wont really be just that easily be trying to remove it out not unless if theyve seen that gambling
addiction isnt something that cant be controlled or already that on the rooftop.

I am always very sad to hear that families are fighting because of gambling addiction, especially when there are children in these families.
The fact is that I know many families who are biologically unable to have children, but dream of them. And such people are very decent, they keep themselves in control, and do not have bad habits. But fate turns out that many addict gambler's have children whom they do not appreciate at all. And it's terrible.
Therefore, I think that all of us should appreciate what we have: our relationship with our relatives. And you need to have self-control over your habits.

Now I remember again our neighbor whose relationship with his family got affected just because of his addiction to gambling.
It isn't only his addiction to gambling that's the reason, but he's also addicted to liquor and cigarettes as well. On the other hand, he doesn't want to work, and he's just begging.

Anyway, gambling is the root cause why it happened for him, and I'm pretty sure that there are many who saw or experienced the same as well. I've also watched some YouTube documentaries regarding gamblers who got addicted to gambling as well, and luckily, they got out of it. It affected their family, it affected them financially, and it affected them mentally as well that some even experienced depression. In general, gambling is bad "ONLY" if you are gambling too much, and spending too much, but if you're only spending a few bucks, and you are okay if you lose it then there's no bad effects of it to you.

That's right, winning at gambling is tempting, it's just that if they are too serious about thinking about winning at gambling it will lead them to careless actions that allow them to become addicted and find it difficult to get out until in the end they become addicted and can have a bad impact on themselves. themselves or others such as family or loved ones. It's not surprising that many people have problems when they get to know and do gambling, and this is caused by them themselves, who have made a complete mistake in carrying out and deciding on the actions applied to gambling.
If they consider all the actions they take well, maybe they won't experience many bad problems or negative impacts. We should gamble according to our abilities, because when the gambling we do is beyond our limits, bad impacts and problems are no longer strange if they occur. Many people experience problems and bad effects because they gamble beyond their means, it can be seen from the frequency with which they gamble and from the perspective of their budget which does not match the income or earnings they get, this is because they are too serious about thinking about gambling so they can put a lot of money into gambling but that only makes them lose more money, maybe they can win occasionally but the winnings won't be much.

I want to say something on this point, there are some addicted gamblers in my society who rob the streets to manage gambling money and drug money. Rich and noble gamblers are not mainly involved in all these activities but only the intoxicated and poor gamblers are involved in these heinous acts like theft, robbery and kidnapping. For just one class of addicted gamblers, such a system has a negative effect. Not only in my country but in different countries of the world, generally poor and addicted gamblers have a bad effect on such society.

In reality, everything OP mentioned is correct; gambling only becomes bad when it causes bad results in the state of life of a gambler. Here in our country, gambling often causes the destruction of families, relationships with friends, and doing bad things like stealing and getting into debt.

This is what often happens when gambling becomes a tool in the bad use of a gambler's personality. Those who didn't gamble before, when they learned to gamble, suddenly changed their character. Things like this happen often.

Gambling can only affect you when you take gambling very serious because it is a desperation in gambling that the make someone to be addicted and gambling and the many people today who is having issues due to their participating in gambling with their loved ones it is as a result of being addicted in gambling that makes or bring the issue to any relationship a serious minded gambler, but from my own understanding it can be controllable when you have a statistics of what you Gambling weekly or monthly and also know your ability of receiving  income monthly or weekly I don't that you will be much influenced or carried away with gambling.

Each person would really be having that different approach when it comes to things on which there are indeed who do play gambling for the sake of fun and there are ones who do tend to make money most out of it on which this is something that will really be that very normal to have in between parties. Outcomes and results would really be that different to each other because to those who are really that chasing up profits on their most
desperate decisions will really be that leading into such huge disaster into their lives. If they arent really that good when it comes on handling their finances then they would really be ending up on sleeping on the streets.
This is why as much as possible, you should really be that careful on how you would really be spending up your money.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible then there would really be no issues or problems that you would really be able to encounter. It is really just that people do become that impulsive
and become that irresponsible on the moment that they would really be tending to chase up their loses or on the moment that they become greedy on winning situations.
On the moment that you have become that greedy and out of control then this is where shit do really happens.

He sounds like because people are addicted to alcohol, alcohol is really bad to the society, there people that drink and do it moderately and there people that do it until they get intoxicated, gambling isn't different from the way alcohol is addicted to people. Anyone can quit alcohol because he thinks it will affect him, the same can go for gambling, it's all about control because you can't say having solo time in gambling is bad, if it's there wouldn't be gambling today because it will be completely ban.

By the way, what's is bad to you might be good to another person but I think government regulates gambling and they all get paid from the revenue generate from you and casino, no matter how much casino pay the government, if it's bad for the society they wouldn't license a single casino and other gambling platforms to offer service for the people.

Gambling is not bad for the society,it is good because we all need it to double our income,we need it in times that we are really broke.If they ask someone to tell the importance of gambling,he will be unable to say it be because he is not into gambling.
A poor man won millions of naira in this part of the country,after gambling for so many years without serious win,now God had answered his prayers and he has taken his family away to a place where they will be comfortable.So in which ever way we see it,that it's gambling who has a way to affecting our society positively.

In my opinion you make hasty conclusions about gambling and gamblers. After all, there are enough educated and responsible people in the world who play gambling not to get rich, but to have fun. If someone does not know how to control himself during gambling is not a reason to say that gambling is bad. In fact, it is bad when a person has no understanding that gambling is entertainment, not easy money and insufficient education to analyze their actions and draw conclusions.

Yeah, the vast majority of people will lose more than what they win while gambling.

It is a known thing that gambling attracts some negative issues to society, but governments are quick to get their cut, they get a lot in taxes from gambling.

So, if the government is happy, casinos are happy. The only not happy ones are the gamblers losing all their money.

I strongly agree with this why gambling is considered bad for the community, one of which indeed makes the community lulled with false hopes and want a lot of victories from gambling that can have an impact on health and environmental relations, this often occurs due to the gamblers of their control.

Gambling is entertainment and is good for the community, but people who understand how gambling is, meaning that not everyone can be good and beneficial for someone unless he knows about how gambling is made into entertainment venues, but enough I think this only happens to People who have an IQ are better than people who consider gambling as a place to bet and just make money so that they want to spend more money in gambling because they expect a very high return in fact their defeat is far more than the victory they get.

Yep, using the government perspective, they're judging what is good and what is bad for society depend on the majority effect. There's always someone can win through gambling, but people forgot if there are a lot people are loss in gambling. Since there are more people who loss than winning, the government see gambling is bad for the society. Not to mention that there are religions that forbid gambling, this makes people who're in that religions will say gambling is bad.

But that's not about gambling that's bad for society per se, now is it? You say it yourself, that it's the addiction, which could be towards anything really and the problems that come with it. It become's society's problem when we don't deal it with correct way but sweep it under a rug as a personal choice type of problem. That way of thinking means that we can't fix it, so only way to deal with it is becomes to blame gambling, when we could just inform people about mechanics of addiction.

Are we blaming bakeries for people getting addicted to sugar and overeating? No. It's not a bakery that's bad for a society, but it's easier to understand because everyone loves food, not everyone loves gambling.

That's right, and we've all heard these dozens of stories about gamblers who couldn't cope with their addiction. About those who tried to quit gambling, or about those who turned to their friends for help, but they turned away from their son - all these are sad stories. But it all starts very innocuously.
That's why I never recommend gambling to my friends as a hobby, and if I were a famous blogger, I wouldn't advertise gambling, because then addicted players will say "it's your fault."
After all, people really like to blame others for their failures, and this is not right. We are all not children anymore and we make decisions with full responsibility.

Addicted gamblers have really caused lots of harm in the society, addicted gamblers are just the ones who make people feel like gambling is a bad activity. If you see what addicted gamblers do, then if you are not really into gambling and you don’t know what gambling is really all about, then you will also think gambling is a bad activity. Crazy things are done by addicted gamblers, whose gambling activities are always affecting their family members and society in general. If everyone gambles responsibly, then society's mentality towards gambling will change, because we all know there is nothing wrong in gambling, just that the addiction is really bad.

Well, it depends; I already talked about some situations that can make one hide. Some people's religion is against gambling, so even though they are disobedient to their tradition, they hide to do their gambling activities, while some people too are addicted and probably having issues with their family, so they are hiding from family to continue gambling. So, even when someone is gambling with their own money, their are still something that may make them to hide.

This isnt a kiddie game. Its a race in your mind. The money and how it makes you feel matter. It exhausts you and makes it hard to accomplish anything else. From little towns to huge metropolis, this is happening everywhere. Energy and money are lost. Fatigue and burnout affect everything you do. People who are close to you dont always get it. They judge and criticize without seeing the fight.

What do our youth see? They perceive just the huge wins and bright lights. People cant see their fatigue, addiction, and brokenness. Be honest and show them how much gambling costs. The world should encourage people to establish businesses, make art, and serve others instead of going to casinos for empty promises.
