Topic: Is gambling bad to the society? - page 41. (Read 8003 times)

I think this has already happened, it is just that it is going to be impossible for every single person out there to think of gambling as just another way of having some fun, and instead they will try to make out of it something that is not and try to make profits out of it.

And unfortunately this is going to make a great deal of people to never change the negative way they think about gambling, since there will always be people unable to control themselves and suffering huge losses as a result of their lack of self-control.

When it comes to the story of gamblers, it varies, you only speak of and emphasise the bad ones who are addicted to it at the same time. But you never considered the good side of gambling as well where some gamblers would hit their Jackpot and their lives would change, and not only that, the lives of those people around them would change, especially if the gambler could utilize it well. This means that he could create a business with it which is a plus to society because some employees would be employed through this. Needless to say, despite the fact that some are losing through gambling, gambling itself has created employment and has added to some countries' and the world's economies since some countries are surely happy that gambling is happening in it as it attracts tourists, brings FX inflow and also create jobs both directly and indirectly.

However, the bad side of gambling is in the losses, and you can lose and become miserable if care is not taken. So if you are a wise person, why then let yourself be played to the extent that you will regret the whole thing? Who's fault is that if it happens? I do not see the fault of gambling here but that of those who allowed themselves to be played that much. We do not give in to something that will hurt us, we should do our best and leave the rest. We should know how to moderate gambling so that it will not be negative for us. You can imagine those who are stereotyped with gambling, they in most cases put it upon themselves. They will be gambling anyhow, get addicted and so irresponsible about it. How will society regard or respect them? In view of these, I will have to exonerate gambling from this societal issue slightly because no one is forced to gamble, and the moment we start gambling irresponsibly, we are to be blamed in society and not the gambling itself because there are many others who are gambling but are not irresponsible with it despite also losing at times.

It's not really true that those people who get addicted to gambling never care about their families; I think they did, but they were just too weak to allow themselves to be engrossed by gambling. One day when I was discussing gambling with my friends, one of them said that addiction to gambling makes the gambler believe that if they lose today, they can win the next day. So if perhaps an addicted gambler loses all their money to gambling today, they have the feeling that tomorrow is their lucky day, and that's why they keep gambling until the addiction has become so bad that they don't have control over it any more. 

Yes but the point is like I said above buddy that there is a possibility that they might get angry or think that we are someone who is too interfering with their affairs, on the other hand this is only a simple way that we can do as a form of our concern for them but honestly I can't say that it is a truly effective way to cure them of addiction, because not everyone can listen to whatever is suggested by others and also not all gamblers who are already addicted will agree or be of the same mind to do various things that are suggested, and chances are they might consider that the suggestion does not make sense, because it does not match their wishes.

On the other hand I admit that it is a pretty good idea that can be done by everyone but the point is that it requires a process, or we need to give advice and direction more often to them without any coercion and bring them slowly to a reasonable and rational mindset so that they can realize about their mistakes slowly.

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).

We keep winning and not relenting on some dormant projects. We also indulge with projects that fails but that doesn't mean we should give up. Money is top priority for our projects in the space. Stay positive and straight when it comes to dealings with human beings, I've said it before and I will continue to say it. Why settled for gambling when there's more complex promising activities to indulge in? Gambling is never the precised measures to follow because it comes with different dimensions which might not be favorable for our ends.

If we notice well usually now most of the gamblers are youth so everyone should come forward to save our youth society. Today's youth play gambling because of which most of our youth are addicted to gambling, so before addiction, the family must take strict action so that no family member is addicted to gambling, the society will be much better. Gambling is an addiction that leads people to destruction slowly. Like if we have terminal cancer in our body, people die slowly, gambling will lead people to their destruction, so there was time, surely a gambler should think about his family and gamble. return from  There are families who are in a lot of debt just because that family member is addicted to gambling. At one time they were living a very good life. Only because of their family member's addiction to gambling, they have become so destitute. It goes without saying that everyone should avoid gambling addiction. Imagine what a gambler's family would be like if he wasn't earning cash, he was constantly taking money from the family and losing money gambling.

Of course, a gambler is most in the eyes of society, because a gambler spends everything he earns to gamble if he is addicted. It is true that addicts always face losses, because addicts are always gambling, their brain is only trying to win the gamble. And because of greed the winnings become only losses but the addict cannot stop gambling so at the end of time when the balance runs out he again starts borrowing from others. Usually in such a tide the society family and relatives are all resentful of him and the most in the eyes of the society. How will he bring happiness to the family because he loses most of what he earns.

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.

There are several efforts we can make to help them avoid gambling addiction, the simplest effort is to remind them with a warning because this effort is effective for family members and relatives and they appreciate our caring attitude, opinions about gambling are very sensitive and they don't even accept being called a gambling addict. even though they realize they have lost a lot of money in gambling. They will admit to gambling addiction after they experience stress and other symptoms of mental disorders due to not having money anymore for basic needs and they have lost everything in gambling, such gambling addiction must be cured with the recommended rehabilitation stage.

Perfect example and view. We should be aware that when it comes to gambling addiction or any other, willpower is broken and Dopamine is always seeked in the process which makes it look hard for gamblers to quit even when they want to.
The truth is they failed to recognize it at an early stage, I believe with persistent self discipline and control with help of others am sure they can be free.

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

There are many people who are addicted to gambling who do not understand their addiction. But there are many who consider their gambling habits and realize that they are addicted to gambling. But understanding addiction is not the only way a gambler can recover from his addiction. There are many who understand but still cannot quit gambling. Those gamblers definitely need help from another person. But there are many gamblers who do not seek help from others. If someone wants to help them, they can refuse them. If there are people who don't want help, there is a possibility of getting into many more problems who want to help him.

The fact is no matter how much the topic is emphasized or debated, every person still won't view gambling I a similar manner everyone has their individual perspective or view of it weather as a good act , a bad act or a neutral act as I believe.
Personally, I believe that a lazy gambler will likely drift into gambling addiction more easily that a regular gambler who engages in gambling activities for fun will. Now the reason for me stating this is that since both hardworking and lazy people need funds, a lazy gambler will more like make gambling his source of income and since it's become his source of income he will also end up spending more time to be able to earn more money from from gambling stakes and activities, eventually he could end up becoming an addict.

       -   If there are other countries that have banned it, maybe it's because they don't want their subjects to learn to gamble, to rely on luck just to advance, or to make money just by gambling. There are others, especially lazy people, who turn this into an alternative solution for them to earn money, even though it is not really stable to generate money.

And there are others because gambling becomes an instrument of family and character destruction and sometimes even leads to tragedy or crime. But there are other countries that turn gambling into a charity program to help people in need who really have nothing.

Not only for our own life but also for any work we undertake, we must make the right decision. Many times when people become addicted to gambling they do not know the difference between good and bad.  Of course, those who play gambling are fun, this funny boy plays gambling, they become so addicted at one time that they can't get out of this gambling addiction if they want to, so of course, before becoming addicted to gambling, they must decide well how dangerous it is for them. But gambling is an addiction that ends people's lives in a heartbeat, but when a person becomes addicted to gambling, his family members understand very well how terrible an addicted member can be for the family. There are families who have almost become destitute by wasting their wealth just for gambling so everyone should refrain from such gambling.

By a decent gambler we must understand that one who has a lot of money must gamble with decency so as not to tarnish his reputation in the society. But if an ordinary gambler who does not have much money becomes addicted to gambling, he will be constantly gambling without earning money and will be in debt, causing chaos in the society. But if you look at decent gamblers you will not find much. Most of them are ordinary gamblers who gamble for fun and at some point they become addicted to gambling.

Yes, that's right, giving advice or direction to someone who is addicted is tiring, because in the end it depends on themselves, if for example they really still have it.
high obsession with gambling then of course there is a big possibility that whatever we suggest will not be able to change anything and there is even a possibility that maybe they will think that we are one of the people who interferes too much in their affairs.

So basically it is a good action for us to try to help people who are addicted with various actions that we can, one of which is by giving advice, that is good, but if for example they really cannot appreciate our help or from other people and instead say something that shouldn't be said to us then let it be, because actually this is only a matter of time, in the sense that as time goes by they will also definitely realize that their actions and thought patterns are actions that are harmful to them, especially when they have experienced some significant bad things that really traumatized them.

That is because they receives money that they don't knows where it comes from. If it is money, people don't minds with the origin of the money and will immediately accepts it without thinks for a long time.
People who work in the gambling sector only wants to earn money that can be used for their families, which means they can meets their living needs. These people have such difficulty to finds work and if there is an offer to work in a casino, they will accepts it even if they are reluctant.
The important things is that they can earn income for themselves and their families. They will look for the other job if it is available and would leaves the casino after gets another job.

But for some reason, this society doesn't hesitate to use the money received from the taxes of the owners of the gambling industry and from the people working in this industry, who pour their money into the economy through spending (and indirect taxes). Many people work for the gambling industry directly and indirectly, which allows them to provide for their lives and the lives of their relatives. Therefore, the question of the influence (good or bad) of gambling on society remains open, because from a social (mental) position, gambling harms people due to gambling addiction and associated consequences, but from an economic point of view, it turns out that gambling benefits people (workers places) and the flow of money into the same society (I’m not talking about prize money) as wages.
