Topic: Is gambling bad to the society? - page 40. (Read 7977 times)

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?

I don't think there are such society in this world, where everybody in the society will be gambling without having other work to do,  which is a bad thing to such society because gambling cannot stop you not to do other work or business.

Gambling is not a bad thing when you take it as form of entertainment, and it will not make you to gamble above your budget and it will make you to love gambling more because you are not doing it because you want to win billions but if billion enter you will celebrate.

I don't think society will be happy to such gamblers that will be gambling in the society without doing other things, like in my society if such person is be caught with such attitude, there are some punishment for such gamblers.

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?

No matter how conscious a gambler plays, if he gambles once and makes money, the person who gambles twice as much a second time bets that the gambler instead loses all his money and goes home penniless. A gambler can never give happiness to his family because he is always busy with gambling and how will he look after his family so a gambler must think about his family and quit gambling. They become so addicted to gambling for fun that one time they try to convince him but he doesn't try to understand anyone. He has no money left to repay. So a gambler should know all aspects of gambling before gambling then become addicted to winning.

It all comes back to a person's capacity to use gambling, we often find someone when gambling focuses only on winnings and some are just for fun, of course the bad impact is someone who hopes for a big win when gambling, but the reality is just the opposite which has a bad impact.  for that person, it all depends on how they consume it in their daily life, because that can also be a measure of a player's badness.

I think that the answer lays on the perspective how we look on gambling. There are people who see gambling only as an entertainment or time killer. For me, that is the way gambling is, and I find it ok. Some people see gambling as a way to earn. Well, I can say that there are much better ways to earn.

Society needs gambling as additional way to have fun. Society must change attitude to gambling from negative (stop reading and producing info how people only lose) to neutral (a way to have fun, but not a primary one).

Yep, that's depends on personal views but you can imagine what will happens to society if most people on that society playing gambling. You will see they don't do other things and only playing gambling and they use gambling for their main things for their lives. They can't separate which is their primary things or secondary things in their lives but they will use gambling as their primary things. They will talks about gambling every day no matter if they are takes a break from gambling or while they playing gambling. It seems they don't have other things to do and just keeps playing gambling. That will makes that society lives becomes worst  because they can't do other things that can benefits their lives. They becomes lazy and don't wants to moves from their zone because they thinks that they are okay with all of that but the truth is they are not okay.

A person who becomes addicted to gambling while playing for fun is clearly an addictive gambler in their behavior. Gambling Generally many people gamble to gain money. Gambling is not always about making money, but there is also the risk of losing, so one should gamble with enough caution, but not to gamble in such a way that one becomes completely addicted to gambling. When a person becomes addicted to gambling he does not earn cash he is always in debt and gambles such gambling is definitely very dangerous for his family and very dangerous for him so such gambler must be desisted from. It's not like the person who gambles will get money because gambling is also very risky gambling many times if someone gets money then their people work and they gamble because of greed maybe they can get money if they are lucky. But those who are very confident and experienced in gambling may gain huge amount of money through this gambling but those who lose money once they can gamble with cool mind can definitely earn money in gambling.

Of course, this really depends on a person's behavior in playing gambling. It is true that we find many people who gamble to win from the bets they play and only a small percentage consider gambling as a place to have fun, when someone gambles too often. of course it will make them spend a lot of their money on gambling and of course this will make them experience financial problems and what is worse they will take out loans to gamble of course this is a very bad choice and it would be better to limit the funds we use for gamble and also limit the time for gambling in order to avoid the bad effects of gambling.

You correctly noticed that the winnings should correspond to the deposit the gambling player has in his account. A gambler should always understand that if he wants a huge win from a small deposit, then most likely he will just lose all the money.

Mathematics is a science where if you have $100, then with a fair game you have 50 percent chance that you will win $100. Gambling only seems to be a free game, in fact, everything is very tied to mathematics, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Damn right, gambling's a two-sided coin. Non-evil, but it bites without discipline. Self-control might be tricky, but it's essential. Pressure, especially in high-stakes gaming, can break willpower. Look, even dudes with stacks of cash can lose their shit. Because they overreact and forget their bounds, not because they're broke. Gambling is risky. Consider it investing, not a chaos. Consider your risks, don't chase losses, and know when to quit

Gambling, done well, can be enjoyable and profitable. It must be nutritious. Time and money restrictions are needed. Out when you reach those limits. Not letting it run your life, but having fun
