Topic: Is getting addicted to gambling right or wrong? - page 2. (Read 967 times)

You are right. It's ironic that if you ask a person who is addicted to gambling why they keep gambling when they never win, they tell you that they do it so that they can get a big win someday and recover all the money they have lost in gambling. And do you know what happens when they manage to get a big win? They gamble it all away again. If you ask them why they gambled the money they have won, they will tell you that they thought they can get more money with it.

So, there is no doubt that a person who gets deep into the addiction will barely be able to make good use of the money they might win, even if they win a large amount, they will gamble it away eventually, even if they don't gamble all of it, they will at least spend most of it on their gambling activities.

You are not reasoning correctly. First, consider that casinos exist in many countries, and the lack of employment opportunities is not the reason for the creation of such establishments. This sounds absurd to me.
There will always be those who want to give their money away and have fun. And in the same way, there will always be supply to satisfy the demand for entertainment.
Your views that by playing in a casino, people can provide themselves with a certain amount of money are not correct if we consider the game as an income. Just count how much money people lost before, and think about the fact that the casino does not siphon money, but people voluntarily give it their money. After all, no one comes to a casino at gunpoint, right?

Of course it's wrong, if you want to get rich, work, but if you want to have fun, gamble.
It's very simple, but as a gambler who can't control himself, he will ignore all of these things and only focus too much on his goal of getting big profits from gambling or in an instant way without working hard.
Before I say how not to get addicted from my experience, it's better to think more deeply about what your goal is for gambling, then think again about what if you lose more often and lose all the money you have and with a mindset like this it has become the basis for a better way of thinking. positive.

After being able to have a mindset like that, keep your mind away from profits but think about what happens if you lose more often and could lose all the money in your pocket and you will definitely be a little afraid to gamble using a larger budget and only using a small amount.
If some of these thought patterns are successful, you can go to the next stage, namely always thinking that this is just a game where it is impossible to win continuously and there will be times when you lose.
With a mindset like this, I am sure that if addiction will be more difficult to control your mind because you will already have more positive thoughts.

Yes, gambling responsibility is one of the most important things a gambler should have, without gambling responsibility one can get addicted to it and destroy his/her life by doing that. I believe every gambler should learn about it and implement it in their gambling schedule, and by doing that they will be safe from the problems that are created because of irresponsibility.

Since we do have different preferences in life some gamblers tried to play for it as a past time and for fun but ended up being a gambling addict just because they became emotional gamblers greed came in and that is the beginning of their addiction until they are trying to even sell or make their properties a collateral and sometimes it ends badly for them. Building wealth in gambling is one in a million and that gambler may also lose huge amount of money through betting but lucky enough to secure a life changing win and of course for me as long as it is gambling and there's addiction then definitely bad.

I wouldn't call gambling bad because not everyone gambles for money. There are also many who gamble for both money and entertainment. But addiction is completely negative. You can see but I have not seen addicted gamblers win big and there is no guarantee that even if they win big they will be able to keep it. Only gambling does not necessarily make a person addicted. Gambling can be managed without becoming an addiction. Big wins can also be achieved by practicing responsible gambling. However, those who gamble regularly or devote more time to a gambling activity are more likely to become addicted. Small wins can be retained by managing responsible gambling where getting addicted to big wins should be prohibited.

That's true, what's more, those who are addicted will not realize that they are addicted, but there may come a time when they realize that they are addicted to gambling when they can't stop gambling as you said or when they have lost all the money they have. . Gambling can make players addicted, especially players who are easily tempted or are lulled by the promise of big wins, of course they will not stop gambling even though they always experience losses and defeats, because the encouragement from thoughts that only think about winning makes them able to ignore losses that occur. happens so that when they lose they think they can recover the losses that have occurred by usually saying "one more bet or maybe in the next gamble they can produce a win because they almost won". there are sentences that make them think positively about the victory that can be obtained.

There are people who are not at all familiar with gambling, but because gambling is currently popular, of course more or less they will be familiar with gambling because their environment is where a lot of gambling is done, and that can influence them, which in turn makes them want to gamble by trying their luck, but Unconsciously, they have fallen into an initial trap which can make them addicted to gambling in the long term.

Addiction does not come intentionally,we get addicted before we know it,Even when you say to yourself,that you will gamble just once a week,before you know it,you've turned an addicted gambler who cant stop.And the question you asked, OP,whether it's good to be an addict to gambling or not,Everyone knows very well that gambling has so many side effects,and I'm quite sure that if there was sufficient work which people can do all over the country and the world at large,the idea of producing a casino to extract money from people wouldn't have come into people.But lack of job has brought it,therefore people are trying their luck to see if they can be financially okay.

No its not wrong mate , becoming an addicted gambler is never be a wrong thing because this is Insane and stupid, why need to become addict when we can enjoy to play and have happiness .

never to gamble at all mate that will save you from everything bad in  gambling .

What is called addiction, it is not healthy even if you can win a victory that makes you rich. because usually, there will be a situation where the situation changes and uses up all the money you or someone has ever won. even if the situation gets out of control, we can lose the valuable things we have. So, anything in excess is not good.

The question is, is it wrong if someone is too addicted?! I answered, yeah obviously that's not good.
Second point, how do we manage or control gambling?! First of all, it is important for us to realize that gambling is fun entertainment. stimulates dopamine and endropine, which makes us enjoy this activity. However, to manage it so that it remains enjoyable entertainment, it is very important for a person to be aware of what he is doing with his gambling activities. The problem is, everyone has different understandings and different goals. Therefore, whatever one does with gambling, it is very important to know all the limits that we can afford. that way, you can manage and possibly control your gambling. in short, it's that simple.

To answer your question, what is bad is to be addicted to anything, be it gambling or anything else. If a person has problems with gambling, then most likely he belongs to the group of people who should not gamble at all. A person loses control over the situation and over time this can lead to very bad consequences.
Regarding people who got rich thanks to gambling, it is worth noting that there are many more people who lost their money, so this coin has two sides. Considering the few people who have become rich, it is always worth remembering other people who became bankrupt due to gambling addiction

That's the reason why we must be careful when playing gambling because we don't knows how tempts the gambling games and how we can gets deeper in gambling. By always carefully in gambling, we don't have to worry with the addiction because we can stay away from that and we can enjoy our times to playing gambling. We can lets them believe that gambling can makes money for them but we don't have to follows what they do because we knows the risks and the consequences of playing gambling.

We must stay away from addiction because that can makes us becomes irresponsibly with gambling. We should thinks that becomes addicted to gambling is a wrong way to us so we must really aware of that and must use gambling as an entertainment so we can have fun by playing gambling.

It is wrong to get addicted to anything in life. It mustn’t be gambling. But anything you create such relationship with can ruin your life. And that of gambling is just terrible that you could end up sleeping under a bridge if you don’t control it. I am saying so because people go as far as selling their properties when they don’t have money because they think that they will win the money back, buy a new one of the property and then have the remaining money to themselves. The thought process is usually easy. Not until you actually gamble and lose it all.

Nothing is wright about getting addicted to gambling, the effects is something that we can tell for sure has never been such that benefits the gambler in ways that the gambler will be able to so anything better off it, once the gambler gets addicted, he losses control of himself a d in most cases is unable to stob the habit and get to do something else more beneficial.

Gambling addiction is the only thing that has made gambling always looked like a very terrible thing to the society because most of the gambler who are addicts end up doing things which makes people want to believe gambling is just bad in it's entirety, even with other things, addiction always bring about the wrong concept of things a d never making them look like they once had a good side of them.

People who got fortune with gambling aren't considered adducts because success hardly comes with addiction in ever field of endeavor, obsession can help sometimes but addiction can never be of help enough because with addiction, chances are that you no longer have purpose for which you are doing it but just want to satisfy an unending urge.

Yes, it may be true that even though for example they know and understand how gambling is actually but not all of them are able to control themselves properly, especially if they are someone who has a personality that is easily provoked or easily emotional which might make them act more aggressively when things don't go according to their wishes, but in my opinion for this problem it is still included in the group of not understanding and realizing or recognizing that gambling is a risky activity.

This means that the key is still in the point of “understanding”, because when they understand that gambling is risky or everyone can experience defeat and consider that defeat is natural in gambling then I think it is likely that they will be able to accept the fact of the losing situation they experience by realizing that what they experience is a natural thing that is also experienced by all gamblers. Because emotions will usually occur when everything is not as expected such as defeat, meaning that they do not have good self-acceptance skills regarding risks that should be considered reasonable.

This thing will depend on how a person is seen some people don't like gambling and since everyone has what they believe in that should be personal to them, and others see gambling as a source of income they make sure they have to gamble every day because they feel they are obligated to gamble every day. and gambling depends on how you think about and also how you decide to take it. to me gambling is not a source of income is just a medium of having fun and getting a prize for it time to time. and for something to get to the point of addiction then there is a big problem that needs to be addressed because if that line is crossed when there is always a big problem.  and that is why as much as possible they try to talk people out of addiction, but not all will listen. even when they work people that are addicted can gamble away everything they have just because they want to win and even when they win their next action will still be to bet with the money.

I don’t think that your question needs and answers because it is really obvious for anyone, just like asking if drugs are right or wrong. There’s one answer for this question that 100% of people would agree to say it is wrong.
When it comes to people who got wealthy due gambling, I would surely say that those 0.001% or less of gamblers that got so lucky and became wealthy from winning a lottery or Jackpot, those people they should stop gambling and be smart to use that reward for investment for example.
Addiction to gambling is something very dangerous, no matter how many times and how much money you won in the beginning, there will be a time to lose everything, because you still gambling and the casino should always win due to the house edge and advantage against you, simply because casinos are made to make money from gamblers.

Yeah that's true, is hard to see Someone who's a gambling addict living fine . Only when the is very rich or wealthy. But for instance as an average man who's a gambling addict, he will definitely waste most of his hard earn cash gambling responsibly. Which is very bad , to gamble ain't but letting it to get of you or taking it as a priority (something you can't do without) is bad .

Because it may only result to countless losses. And it can affect one's lives many ways (negatively).

Haven't y'all realized just yet that we've read too many gambling addition topics in here ?? Like FR? We've literally answered every question and I think, all you just gotta do is look through the old threads to satisfy your curiosities...

Gambling addition isn't a right path to follow. "You don't need to tell a matured man to seek for a shade if he's standing under the hot sun"  we all have a natural instinct and, that alone could guide you on whatever you do.
Don't fall for the old trickery - that the more you wager, the more you win!  If it's slowly becoming a habit, control it by getting busy with other things that makes life worth it.

There's nothing right or wrong in world of gambling but there are things that could be harmful for gambler and one of such things is addiction. Gambling addiction could create so many problems for the addict and like any other addiction it's hard to get rid of gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction has destroyed lives of many people and that's why it's considered as a very harmful thing one can have from gambling. That's why anyone who knows about gambling addiction suggest others to gamble with responsibility to avoid getting addicted to it.
