Here in our country, there is a lotto charity program held by our government that provides assistance to poor people who cannot afford to pay a large amount to the hospital.
That's why there are many lottery outlets where, always, the more people bet on the lotto, it also helps people who believe that fate will also favor them by betting on the lotto.
So this kind of gambling outlet like this, I don't think I can say is bad because it helps the uncapable to pay the hospital bills due to poverty or loss of life.
Topic: Is gambling bad to the society? - page 34. (Read 7962 times)
Gambling is hurtful when you go beyond your limit and it's because we see it as an place to make money, when you see it as a place to have fun and money, you wouldn't think about the money all the time and the thoughts of exceeding your limit will never cross your mind. However, generally few people makes money frkm gambling if we want to be honest with ourselves, the rest makes nothing but loss all the time and yet they never give up.
Well, isn't this fact harmful for an individual who gambles without risk management and loses his portfolio? Who is the victim in this case?
It is the gambler himself who did not know how to manage his portfolio. So this does not mean that gambling is bad to the society. It is individual negligence that it is bad to person to person.
We may come across many gamblers who may not lose much about they are having their rules and regulations set, when they play and gamble. Others may be winning jackpots and changing their fortune. If we ask from them, they will never say bad about gambling.
I think it depends upon a person to person basis as how he treats gambling and his approach towards the gambling may make gambling good or bad for him.
Yes, that's right, because the actions we take will certainly lead and produce something, we need to pay attention to this because if we do something with the wrong steps or without thinking about it, the results might be bad for us. I agree with you, maturity of thought is one of the things that must be done, because that will determine what kind of results we will produce in the future. Usually people who have gambled or are currently gambling, they cannot think clearly until they make mistakes because they were not considered first. With the many cases of loss that occur, perhaps it is one of the results of actions or things that were done without considering it first.
I think that many gamblers lose money beyond their capabilities, because they don't have good thinking or don't have good maturity so they can't accept the losses that occur, which ultimately makes them trapped in gambling and it's difficult to get out. By getting trapped in a gambling addiction slowly and over time they will see bad changes and can harm other people.
Its not just about the money you lose, its the bad decisions, the chasing losses, the lies you tell yourself and others. Its a slippery slope. The occasional few dollars add up to a lot before you realise it. You're not just losing your shirt, you're losing your dignity, your relationships, your life. People must so be educated. They need to learn how to gamble logically, how to set boundaries, and how to quit when ahead. We must demonstrate to them the dangers the psychological traps, the addiction that can destroy lives.I think that many gamblers lose money beyond their capabilities, because they don't have good thinking or don't have good maturity so they can't accept the losses that occur, which ultimately makes them trapped in gambling and it's difficult to get out.

It must be made plain that gambling is not a solution or a fast route to wealth. Pure and straightforward entertainment is what it is. And you have to appreciate it in moderation, much as any other kind of entertainment. Never forget, folks: be intelligent, disciplined, and most importantly, be in control. Dont let gambling control you.
I agree with what you say, it must be emphasized that gambling is not something or a solution to get rich quickly and is not a means of making money for sure, by emphasizing to them perhaps gamblers will limit their gambling activities by not doing it beyond their means. Whatever the outcome of gambling, don't make the wrong move, when you lose, stop and go to rest, and when you win, withdraw your winnings and go to enjoy the win.
This is no longer what should be asking because there is no job anywhere,the goverment are not trying,they aren't providing enough jobs for their citizens,they relax and allow their citizens to suffer,and this is really appauling.imagine if they should ban betting now,what will youths do? How will most person's survive,or they want everybody to go back to the street and hustle.I can now say that gambling is good for the society because sometimes when things look rough,gamble is the only thing you can turn your attentions to,and it might deliver,if it's your day to smile,then definitely, gamble will be there for you.
What? You are talking like it's one of the solutions if someone has a problem financially. No, I don't think so. Yes, when it comes to jobs or you are employed in the gambling casino but when you are the one betting, I don't think you should be thinking about it as a means to make money. It's one path that will doom your financial budget. "It might deliver." "Might." There's no assurance in gambling. A job will give you money through efforts and hard work while gambling is risking your money and leaving it all with chance or luck. I don't think that's a good idea for someone who is jobless, it would be better to use what money is left to look for ways to add more and not to take the high risk.
Yups and I think the bad stigma that society has towards gambling is no longer strange to hear, and this bad perspective is created due to the actions of gamblers who try to treat gambling in the wrong way which endangers themselves and ultimately experiences many bad impacts and This downturn is known by the public which ultimately makes gambling look very bad in the eyes of the majority of society. I think almost everyone is familiar with the saying that "1000 good deeds will be forgotten with 1 mistake", meaning that although in gambling there are some positive elements that can be useful such as entertaining someone when they are having boring free time with no aim of earning and gambling is full of limits but still, when people find out that they are involved in gambling then of course they will be claimed as someone who has a bad personality because they are involved in gambling. Simply put, whoever you are and even though you gamble responsibly, you still won't be able to escape the bad stigma when society knows this, and this stigma can damage a person's social relationships.
However all of those problems can be avoided by doing something incredibly simple, which is to keep quiet about your gambling habit, after all as long as you are in control of it, no one else but you has any need to know what you do with your free time.Now, I know that for the people of today I may be asking too much from them, as now people are so used to share everything online, that the concept of privacy is being lost on them, but they have to learn that there are a few things that should not be shared, and at least to me if a person can be severely affected by the decision and opinions of others, then they need to keep their gambling a secret.
A gambling addict certainly cannot hold his own position in the society as society always looks at him differently. A gambling addict never tries to realize that five people are criticizing him or reacting badly to him. An addicted person is always focused on gambling and does not even consider the money he is constantly losing. Gambling destroys people's lives just as terminal cancer takes its place in the human body and slowly leads to death, just like gambling destroys people's lives slowly.
Gambling always had bad publicity in the society. It's not new that gamblers are being seen as outlaws in some part of civilized world. While the problem to this issue is attributed to what you just mentioned above. It's clear that not everybody is aware of the nice aspects of gambling because this has been clouded by the bad doings it has caused to people. Hence in the society most players undergo the trauma of how people see them in the society because they wagger money in casinos. This stigma actually adds to the problem of gamblers which causes the gambling bad publicity revolving in the society.

This stigma actually adds to the problem of gamblers which causes the gambling bad publicity revolving in the society.It is true that someone who gambles in the community will be viewed badly because basically many people reject this gambling activity if it is carried out in their village.
Gambling which has a negative value, namely it will make someone's life miserable, so it is not easy for this gambling activity to be accepted in the community, it is clear that it will worsen someone's life and the consequences of this gambling activity can cause bad behavior that will emerge from the gambler.
For example, if the gambler often experiences defeat, it is certain that he loses a lot of money there and what will he do? he will try to borrow money everywhere and there are also those who commit crimes such as stealing.
From the conclusion above, it is clear that gambling in the eyes of the community has a very negative value and if someone is determined to do it and is found out by other people, the person may often get negative criticism, if you want to keep gambling, it is better to just hide your activities.

Gambling is generally very harmful to an individual, because if a gambler participates in gambling, he is doing wrong from the society's point of view. Because a gambler is an abomination in the eyes of society, and among them if he becomes addicted again becomes the worst cause. As you can see, a gambling addict can never contribute to society. And a threat to the family, he tries to make gambling losses more than what he normally earns. That is why he is identified as a bad person in the eyes of the society.
Gambling is harmful when you bet with the amount that is bigger and can make you regret. Have you ever gamble with money that can't even buy you a plate of rice and you feel unsafe and regret before? I think no and that's because it's little and that is something that you can't regret or think it will hurt you but try gambling with amount that you know you can't afford to lose like your 6 month signature payment and you lose it, you will fee it on your ass and when you try it with your savings, that's when you will understand the the effects of gambling better.
Gambling is hurtful when you go beyond your limit and it's because we see it as an place to make money, when you see it as a place to have fun and money, you wouldn't think about the money all the time and the thoughts of exceeding your limit will never cross your mind. However, generally few people makes money frkm gambling if we want to be honest with ourselves, the rest makes nothing but loss all the time and yet they never give up.
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?

Gambling is not bad for society, it's just like most other things in life - when it is done in moderation there is no problem. However when people take it too far, start playing every day and get such tunnel vision that they spend all their money on it - that is bad. However the same can be said for other things people do to relax and unwind, like drinking or consuming drugs like cannabis which is becoming increasingly legal. There should be education to all people and effective self exclusion from gambling sites, but that works best with a global program which should be the aim of all governments to work out.
I completely would agree with you, gambling is not bad for the society, already many sees it as a fun fact to engage in but yet their are those who also abuse it by making it their source of income or getting addicted that ends up draining every penny they have, some might even end up selling off their properties while some will also take loans just to quench their taste for gambling and this has brought about the bad opposition from the society.
Since there are people who do everything that you said then gambling might be bad for the society because all this things are not good for the progress of the society. There are many people abusing gambling and this is not good because this are still the people that stay in the society and they can make the society not to be safe because after gambling all their money, they might end up going to steal and make their society not to be safe which will make investors to stay away from the society because they know that their business will not make sales in a society that is not peaceful and full of crimes. Gambling has alot of negative effects on the society because gambling does more harm to the people gambling tham it will help them as alot of people are only gambling because they want to make money.
for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.
You are correct @Ojinga. Those people that castigate gambling uses addicted gamblers ascit an example for the what bad effect gambling has in the society, they don't realize the good effect it has too. Gambling have luckily made some people become millionaire and some people misused the opportunity.
In my honest opinion , betting is very toxic for societies of countries with small population or poor population in general. Per example in Romania , we finally implemented a law where in cities with less than 15k people gambling and bookies are not allowed to be opened because the situation went crazy before this law was here with people gambling all their money and it's really hard to make them back in an honest way where that town is barely having any jobs and families and young ones were the first to suffer because of this. Now , they don't have where to bet but the ones who got addicted are traveling in other town where population is over 15k and they bet there which makes the problems still not entirely solved.

Sometimes when we play and assume certain behaviors we must do everything possible to ensure that things are done correctly, therefore we will always generate different ways of doing things, the maturity of our thinking is something that is decisive in a casino, in this case we must always consider doing things well, for example in a society it is always good to keep up appearances, but people will always have criticism, and generally they are destructive criticisms, so in a casino we must at all times have maturity to accept either winning or losing, and that is only what society sees, and if you are a person who collapses very easily with the bad things that happen in a casino, then that is the first thing that the most critical of a society will see.
Yes, that's right, because the actions we take will certainly lead and produce something, we need to pay attention to this because if we do something with the wrong steps or without thinking about it, the results might be bad for us.

Actually for me, I don't think gambling is bad influence to the society but it depends on how individuals handle gambling.
That is why it's advisable to gamble responsibly and also gamble with what we can afford to lose, also know that gambling is all about luck and chance and not a game of where one can become rich through it and also if we find ourselves to be an addict, we shouldn't hesitate to seek for help and support with from our loved ones or from counselor.
That way will help us to reduce the rate in which we gamble, because if we gamble irresponsibly it can lead or cause us some damages in our lives, such as depression etc which can also lead someone to have mental disorder.

That's right, the casino doesn't affect everyone equally badly. If a gambler is a weak person in himself, then he will lose not only in the casino, but also in all his endeavors, be it business, main job, relationships with people. You need to have your own strong character and knowledge: about money management, the ability to understand life, be able to be resistant to addictions. I believe that a strong character person will not succumb to the harmful influence of casinos, and any bad habits.
Therefore, gambler need to devote a lot of time to self-development.
I don't know how much priority is given to gambling in other countries of the world, but gambling is still hated in our country's society(Despite declaring the casino site legit) Even gamblers are not liked by anyone.
Is gambling bad for people that people suffer most financially through gambling which has an adverse effect on society. A person with excessive gambling addiction may become involved in criminal activities such as theft and robbery due to gambling addiction. Gambling addicts are not only hated in the society, but they are also hated in the family because they put their family in a lot of financial problems. Many gamblers end up in debt, which they later sell their family's property to repay. This is why gamblers are labeled as bad people in society.

it is seen badly in many countries due to the restrictive and prohibitive laws that exist, look at China for example, in my opinion, by doing so they make things worse because then that crime ring is created around what is a movement that brings in a lot of money, you know the bets they pay well and therefore everyone wants to get into it, it must be regulated otherwise then everyone does as they please, regarding the states that allow it then it must be said that they take advantage of it by leveraging older people who lose control over the games or by making it become We're all gambling addicts, we need to get our act together

Well, when someone loses and finances become tighter than ever, ideas of appropriation and theft occur and of course, that will affect society and we can also consider that gambling has played a part in this outcome but don't forget that this is only the result of losers, without these losers, other normal people would sometimes also become thieves or robbers because of the financial regime. On the other hand, winners and profiters still cultivate benefits for this society, more money will be applied to higher taxes as well as more spending and that is also an opportunity for many business people, gambling destroys but also regenerates society

True, but also remember that gamblers are also a part of society, so whatever happens to them is also a negative to society.
In an ideal world you would want to have balanced gambling with people enjoying their time, but in reality we are far from that, and that is OK.
Everyone has the opportunity to stop whenever they want to. That's something that will also benefit society in general.
