There is no reason to say that Gambling is bad for society even it may contribute to being affected nationally. Gambling not only affects the people who are gambling and as it is related to money it affects the members of the family, friends, relatives, and later on the nearest people, and in this way, it affects the whole of society.

I think, what makes it bad is because the gambler himself has a bad attitude, because with the bad results he gets in gambling until they do something negative. Thus, they say gambling is bad even though in reality the gambler himself is the one who makes gambling seen as bad, because it has a negative impact. But, if the gambler can control his emotions well then I am sure that the gambler and gambling will not be seen as bad when they have good control over themselves. With that reason, then at least I do not blame gambling entirely, because what makes it bad is those who have excessive emotions.

It all matters about on the certain person on how he would really be handling himself when it comes to gambling because it would really be that making gambling to look bad just because
on what people are really that doing. We cant be able to deny that gambling does have that negative reputation for most people or having those impressions on which it isnt really that good
because it is really that focusing into those common effects that it do gives on a certain individual specially on the time or moment that they are really that dealing up too much with it.
On the moment or time that you've been dealing with gambling then you are the ones should really be that responsible into your actions. You would really be ending up on a bad situation
if you would be finding yourself having those impulsive actions to be made on.

At the end of the day gambling is a personal problem.

If a gambler is by themselves in an island with a phone connected to the internet they can also gamble all their money away.

It's not a social problem like, say, bullying, or something else like that.

I also agree with you, but one thing too is that someone did not just wake up and start gambling one day; sometimes the environment they find themselves in can also influence their involvement in gambling.

If someone starts and grows up where they don't come across any form of gambling activity, there is a great possibility that they might not pick up an interest in gambling in their life. Even if they see such things online, only a few will pick up an interest and decide to try them out.

Many people are victims of being influenced by society and after that, they will be the ones influencing other persons in society into gambling. Every habit or practice starts with a step. I have also come to realize that what people see often are the things they end up liking it and see it like a normal thing without looking at the negative part of things.

There are some environments we will visit where the people around see gambling as a daily activity while some environments the people there consider gambling to be illegal and a bad practice that no one should be involved in.

Everything would really be that depending into your control and discipline because if things could really be seen around or simply into your surroundings then high chances that you would really be also doing such stuffs but there would really be those individuals who would really be having those kind of actions on which they would really be playing on the moment that their attention is been drawn out.
We do know that when it comes into this aspect then this is something that will really be that common. Is gambling bad to society? It would really be always reflecting out on someones actions because
you cant be able to blame out something just easily like that. It all matters about on the actions taken by someone because excessive playing on gambling will really be having that negative impact
on you specially if you are an individual who do really that not good when it comes to self control. So better you watch out and be careful about on the actions taken.

Yes and it also depends on whether you have the right understanding or not regarding what and how the concept of gambling actually is, I think this is what determines how a gambler treats his gambling activities, simply when a gambler does not have the right understanding regarding the chances and risks in gambling then of course self-control will be something that is difficult to do in any situation.

So it means yes as you understand that if the question is whether gambling is bad or not for society then it will depend on themselves especially depending on whether the gambler has the right understanding or not regarding the chances of winning and the risk of losing money in gambling.

I am not so sure. After all, no person exists on his own, we all have social connections. And when a person has problems with gambling, they do not only affect him personally. They affect his family and friends, they have impact on his attitude to work, and therefore create problems for his colleagues. So the impact is much stronger and extends far beyond the life of one particular gambler.

That's actually true, and for example if a father of a family loses everything, and even his life, then clearly there are more people affected than just the gambler.

I am comparing it to other, more direct consequences, for example drunk driving, where you can affect other people that are not connected at all to you.

You could be driving to work and a drunk driver crashes with you, killing you in the process. That's quite different compared to gambling and losing all your money.

it's crazy but I heard this week that in Brazil there are people taking loans and putting their name at risk all for gambling, we didn't see it here so often before sports betting got allowed
I think this is one of these cases where having everything allowed ends up in a situation far from ideal for the public

what do you think? gambling should always be allowed for everyone?

Even though I have my own opinion and perspective to this whole discussion, I definitely will have to agree with you, and this is based or due to my own personal experience with a friend of mine who was addicted to gambling at the time when we were still living close to each other.

His addiction to gambling affected not just his finances, but it also affected those around him like my very self, his actions affected me in several ways I can't really start explaining now, I remember having a really heated argument that almost lead to beat up my wife because of him( the friend).

But you know what? The fact is that most of this addicted gamblers don't usually have any Idea that what they do is affecting those around them, like when I told my friend to stop gambling or atleast, reduce the frequency at which he gambles, to plainly told me that "he's just living his life and spending his money the way he wants to, how was that my business". Very annoying you might want to say, but it's a fact.

Quote from: Ojinga on May 23, 2024, 02:10:29 PM

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.

I can boldly say that Gambling can not affect self-esteem, relationship, physical/mental health, work performance and social life with others, But rather it is gambling addiction that could actually affect a person's self-esteem, relationship, physical/mental health and work performance with others. Hence, by virtue of the question you asked above @ O.P, i'm sure you are likely to get diverse opinions just like mine, as gambling has done both good and bad to different sets of individuals all around the world, as through a jackpot won from gambling, many families have been able to afford to live the life of their dream, which never would have been possible if not for gambling. Hence, gambling is good, but it's when a gambler gets addicted that is bad.

Gambling cannot affect self-esteem, relationships and mental health Only when it's done moderately, that's fact..an addicted gambler that is constantly losing his income will always be in depression, this would take a toll on your mental health, and this might affect your relationship with other people..How can gambling addiction affect your self-esteem?? Always throwing your money would make you go everytime, not being able to provide your needs and take responsibly would make you feel less of yourself

well, it can affect it, you mean, it shouldn't, right?
because if you lose a lot of money fast or if you make a lot of money fast this can make you more or less confident (affecting self- esteem), if you're addicted it'll affect your mental health and the time you spend with loved ones

do you get my point?

The only bad thing on here is on the moment or time that a certain individual would really be doing things like too much engagement on which it would really be that resulting into addiction.

On the moment that this one happens then this is the time where gambling could affect out negatively on someones financial life or status.This is why everything cant really be just
be blamed out on the casinos or generally on gambling because it is really that basing up on someones doing. It is really just that gambling would really be taking up the blame
everytime that we are seeing that someone is really that messed up their life because of it. This is why we shouldnt really be that making conclusions based up on that.

Gaming is a society symptom, not only some personal shortcoming. We enjoy the adrenaline, the danger, the dopamine surge. It's primal. Still, blaming the gambler is like accusing the addict without considering the dealer. We have to become real. There is always going to be gambling. So, instead of demonizing it, let's use it. Though it's a tough teacher, it may teach us a lot about ourselves: our greed, our desperation, our hope against all chances

One of the most important is education. Not simply "don't gamble", but "learn the game". Share with others probability, risk, and the house always wins over long run. Provide them tools to control their impulses; do not only criticize them for having them. This is about control rather than about quitting gambling. It's about realizing that life itself is the actual bet. Everybody runs a risk and follows aspirations. Let us ensure we are doing it with our eyes open

I don't think it's bad for society. Casinos pay taxes that help to further development of those structures you can't go a day without while gamblers free their inner instincts hidden dip inside their body which make them to feel a bit better. They even win sometimes. This is a win-win situation in my view.

Bad trends for society can occur when they disrupt social maintenance and even cause social degradation. A gambler may find a platform for his own entertainment through gambling but he should also consider social responsibilities such as family maintenance and other social service activities. Although gambling is a win-lose situation, there is a high tendency to lose money, which has a negative impact on society. Gambling has a negative impact on society only when there is a large concentration of addicted gamblers.

It should become his hobby, not his way of taking care of the finances with which he feeds his family, I agree. A place for entertainment rather than seeking large jackpots and profit. That way, there wouldn't be such risks at hand.

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.

these are the scenario most addicted gambler is facing butthat will never happen to you if you are a
self controlled gambler in which very few managed to keep for themselves while in gambling.

Quote

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?

not because we should not treat gambling as a means of earning is
that we should add this to a bad in society because there are many gamblers
than knows how to limit themselves so that is far from being bad to the community right?

but you know in some society those people who progress more in business are strong gamblers, so gambling is also helping in other hands. Just as you said their are some gamblers who knows how to limit themselves whenever they notice they're going too far, but their ones that doesn't care if they are doing the wrong thing. What they just want it's for them to get what they want and they won't even care if they're causing more trouble to society. And this are the set that makes people take gambling as something that isn't important to the society. So gambling helps and it's important also.

Sorry but are you sure? that Business owners are strong gamblers? yeah lets say they are but the question is that do they stay long in the business after becoming a strong gambler?
because from those that I knew is businessmen that becomes gamblers ending losing their business and becomes gambling addict .

It's like in physics, the energy never disappears it just changes form and it's the same with the money. Whether you spend money in a casino, waste it on netflix subscriptions, get a plastic surgery, or a new car, the money changes hands, moves around.

You could say that casinos are bad, but they pay taxes, they help circulate money, they move wealth from one person to the other.

Do you really believe that the gambling addict who wastes money every single day on a slot machine would spend time with his family if there was no casino? He's doing that to escape the family life, hios job and reality. Many of these people would become drug addicts or alcoholics. That's how I see it.

You can';t make the world better by removing a casino because people will find other ways to gamble.

Basically any kind of business that the government takes tax from is considered to be good to the society, but is gambling really bad to the society?? It depends on the individual, gambling affects people in different ways, some might consider it to be a negative influence
Because they experience a lot of losses, there are those that see it a means to have fun and keep yourself entertained , these Category

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?

First of all, gambling is dangerous for the gambler himself.
Many gamblers say that they will be able to stop only when they have absolutely nothing left. One gambler went to his grandmother in the village because he lost everything. And even the apartment. Also, his family broke up - his wife left with the child. But what is surprising is that he was then able to set up his business again and become a full member of society. He has not played gambling for a year and a half.
