Topic: Is gambling bad to the society? - page 43. (Read 7962 times)

That's why being a guardian to my younger generation son and daughter I constantly monitored their activities particular with social media and other stuffs on the internet. Money issuance will always be an optimum amount to their allowance so they won't be able to partake with gambling whether physical or online betting. Educating them on values on importance of hard earned money from us their parent, and with that ways I believed gambling would be a serious interest for them to tackle with despite of how bad it affects the society.

Good the points. No matter how much we discuss and criticize the dangers of gambling, no benefits seem to come from it. Nowadays, the young generation is becoming so interested in gambling that they are devoting their entire academic studies to gambling, which poses a serious threat to future generations. MCW ,A popular casino site in our country where millions of young boys and girls are involved and they are making huge losses from this casino. Hundreds of boys and girls in my community are losing huge amounts from these casino sites and ruining their careers. As a Guardian I am facing a very dangerous situation with the young generation.

I didn't say there was no chance of getting addicted. What I mean is that, since they are rich, they might have the money to gamble with at all time and they may also have enough money to handle the needs of the family but where they will encounter issues in the relationship is when they become addicted and divert all their attention from wife and children to gambling. Women love attention and children likes attention to be guided by their parents. If you are not giving the required attention to the family but rather to gambling, it can cause disagreements and fight between the man and wife. That was my point their.

yeah I do see the difference, but for those society who takes the poor gambler as a crime to the society. I don't think they're doing the right thing because they're only looking at the bad side of it, not knowing that with gambling you can become a millionaire in life to help and support to the society. And for those society that takes a rich person as helper or a God to the society, I guess they do know that they started when they were poor. So for those society who sees gambling as a means of creating new problems should also see the good side of it, seeing what the rich one's are doing at the society, so for me that should also let them know that gambling do helps.

That's how sad when talking about reality of gambling, we all knew it but people still ignored those facts associated. They're getting influenced with so many temptations linked to being motivated with different winning experiences of so many players. That's how toxic gambling is to the society, despite all of the warnings and advices, every individual choose their will to participate and gamble their money. Each individual's willingness was due to confidence that came from several advertisements.

Yes, gambling is bad to the society if the gambler is poor and keep creating new problem to other people.

Gambling isn't bad to the society if the gambler is rich and he like to help other people by giving free money, people will think he's like a God and gambling isn't a problem at all.

Can you see the difference? I believe you can.

Either you are a professional gambler or you are not a professional gambler. I don’t think it’s proper to take gambling as a source of income. All I will say is that gambling should be for fun and shouldn’t be taken as a source of income. Some people are already addicted to gambling, but they are always claiming they are professional gamblers, and they can control their gambling habit, but they can’t really control it. Don’t be surprised that people you think are professionals are not really professionals.
 
Anyone who claims to be a professional gambler should already know much about gambling, so you should know that gambling shouldn’t be taken as a source of income, gambling should be done just to have fun alone and shouldn’t be taken as their source of income.

True, and besides that there are several factors of circumstances that can further trigger a person to get involved in gambling which one of them is when they are having financial problems in their lives that make them depressed and as we know that sometimes a person can justify any means to get money when they are in a depressed and urgent situation which is possible if in the end they are attracted to gambling with various initial scenarios that attract them to fall into which one of them is like the promotional advertisement that you said above.

The situation can apply to everyone but most of them are poor people or those who have a precarious financial situation who end up choosing gambling by putting high hopes on winning. Initially they think that gambling can be used as a place or intermediary to change their lives, but as time goes by the situation gets worse and the situation will be even more stressful when they have entered the phase of chasing losses.

one of the points could be that in my opinion those who become addicted to gambling have never cared about the situation of their family, I think that everyone or most of them here play or at least make a bet every now and then, but for the good of those we love know how to regulate ourselves because of all the problems that gambling can bring, like all things if done sparingly it is difficult for alcohol to become a problem, even if addiction can be dangerous.
therefore these who become desperate have never cared about their family

I didn't say there was no chance of getting addicted. What I mean is that, since they are rich, they might have the money to gamble with at all time and they may also have enough money to handle the needs of the family but where they will encounter issues in the relationship is when they become addicted and divert all their attention from wife and children to gambling. Women love attention and children likes attention to be guided by their parents. If you are not giving the required attention to the family but rather to gambling, it can cause disagreements and fight between the man and wife. That was my point their.

Indeed, there are some rich people who have a lot of money so they can gamble as they wish and it doesn't affect their family's needs, but even though they have enough spare money, of course the opportunity for them to become addicted is still there, and of course they can become addicted if they lose self-control. when gambling and of course it will affect his finances. where at first they don't have problems with their finances and needs, but when they become addicted to gambling, of course financial problems and other problems can occur.

That's how sad when talking about reality of gambling, we all knew it but people still ignored those facts associated. They're getting influenced with so many temptations linked to being motivated with different winning experiences of so many players. That's how toxic gambling is to the society, despite all of the warnings and advices, every individual choose their will to participate and gamble their money. Each individual's willingness was due to confidence that came from several advertisements.

I think that it’s more than that. For instance, there’s greed; no matter how much people win, they’ll want to win more right away thinking it has gotten easy or they have become masters. And even if not instantly, they’ll start gambling for bigger amounts of money. Despite the wins or losses or the belief of future wins, we ought to have control.

The ego is very dangerous, because it has no boundaries and can bring the player to anything, even to the very bottom, but the main thing here is not that, but the fact that at that moment he will think that he is right and no one will convince him. As for me, I used to be like that too, but then I became older and realized that we have to pay very dearly for our ego and I’m not ready to do it all the time. I became calmer and began to think more, I became interested in different strategies and communication with other players. I am very happy about this and I think that I will never return to this problem.

In general, it is difficult for me to say how much gambling harms society, but negative aspects sometimes occur. But if we are honest, then life is full of not very good things, the main thing is how we relate to it and perceive it.

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?
