Gambling addiction is process in which an individual cannot control their urge in gambling even when they tend to lose. They are willing to sacrifice their most valuable assets with the hope of winning. A story was told of a young man in my community who used his only son for gambling because he was so addicted that he can't do without gambling in a day. he can do anything when it comes to gambling. I also know people who are wealthy today through gambling. So, is it wrong to be too addicted to gambling? how can it be control or how can one manage gambling?

Let's take food for instance. Food is very necessary for any living thing to function well. Without food, we might even die but, this same food which is very necessary for our survival can become a problem to us if we begin to eat a certain kind of food excessively and more often than normal. Same food which is good for us becomes poisonous to our body when we take them in excess through addiction. People get addicted to their jobs, making money, gadgets, movies etc and these addictions often cause negative effects to them. No form of addiction is good.

Same applies to gambling. Gambling is only sweet when we win. Gambling too often than usual will give us the chance to taste losses too and these experiences are not always sweet. Even if you are in most cases lucky with your games, other aspects of your personal life will get affected negatively. Giving all your time and resources to gambling is never a good idea anyone should ponder over.

When you gamble you do it responsibly else there is the tendency of getting addicted of course it consequences is very bad and you gave an example of a addicted gambler who used his own son to gamble that is absolutely a bad idea, personally I gamble for fun that is I do budget a fixed and a portion amount of fund from my money to gamble once exhausted that is the end for that month in term of gambling with that I was able to control my gambling activities, though you also gave instance of some wealthy individuals who got rich through gambling I think that should be few compared with majority who losses in gambling.

That is why we should stop thinking that gambling would make us rich instead, we'd rather think that at least we could win something. Because the moment we think about more winnings, the closer it pushes us to addiction.

Some people also thinks that even if they go after the money it is not going to affect them in any way, they just believe gambling is what they can quit at anytime. The problem with most gamblers is that they never believe in addiction, they feel gambling is something they can play the way they like and it is not going to affect them. Most of the gamblers go into gambling even without understanding it that is why it has always been a problem, and the truth is that the money that is involved in gambling is what makes people to get in and not having any thought about what can be the challenges or problems of playing it.

I don't think that way, in fact most gamblers they know they will lose money in gambling but the biggest problem is that they don't care about it and they think that maybe tonight they will get lucky from gambling or think that who knows I can get a profit back or get a big profit like that guy the other day, consciously they understand gambling but they don't care.

When gambling goes on and he loses then thinks maybe I need to increase the deposit to get closer to the luck closer, or catch up with the previous defeat the money he used has run out and thinks he will get it back if he continues the game, and that thought always comes every time he gambles until the balance he has runs out in his wallet.

The addicted person thinks that he might get back a much bigger win than he ever won before, so addiction exists, someone who is addicted to winning is much worse than someone who is addicted to the game.

Getting addicted to anything is "wrong" in my opinion. What's the old adage? Everything in moderation... Even positive things like exercise and making money can become addicting and go too far for some people. If something is interfering with your ability to enjoy life to the fullest of your capabilities, then it is an addiction and should be curtailed. It doesn't matter if it's gambling, porn, investing, exercising, reading, etc... Life needs balance to be enjoyed to the most of it's potential. Getting stuck in one thing (other than Bitcoin of course) can have negative effects on your overall happiness.

I can't control my surprise at the extent some people can go to service their addiction syndrome. Addiction is very bad. It turns a human being into a moron or zombie too be precise. Its bad, very bad and most of us who've been there before never advises anybody and wishes no one that shit cos its very messy.

Gambling addiction is not only wrong, but its a sin against yourself, your family and the society at large. I wish the casinos would have a little regulation to help curb excessive gambling, it would do the world a great good as they're the only one that can indicate excessive gambling accurately on their sites.

it's obviously wrong, have you seen the effect gambling addiction has on people? Have you seen how it wrecks their lives? gambling addiction cannot be controlled, they are addicted, they are dependent on gambling, meaning the urge to gamble is too much for them and it doesn't matter if they win or lose as long as they can gamble. also, seeing people become wealthy through gambling isn't much of an example to use when asking whether gambling addiction is wrong or not.

You don't need to ask because A person who knows what is right or wrong can determine if addiction is good or not.
Addiction is the worst thing to happen that may cause severe destruction to our lives in terms of relationships and money. There are a lot of discussions showing how it ruins the entire life of a person which I don't want to experience. That is why we should stop thinking that gambling would make us rich instead, we'd rather think that at least we could win something. Because the moment we think about more winnings, the closer it pushes us to addiction.

That's why we must be careful when playing gambling and always remember that we playing gambling is because we wants to have fun in our spare time. We don't wants to gets addicted to gambling because that can makes us lose our money and ruins everything we had. So getting addicted to gambling is wrong for because we already see what's the effect that people gets from the addiction.

We must not thinks that gambling can makes us rich but we should use gambling as a way to have fun. We don't have to thinks about wins in gambling because that will be difficult for us and we may lose much money. It's better we playing gambling moderately to prevents the big lose that can happens to us. We must have strong self control to prevents ourselves playing gambling too long to avoids many problems in gambling.

Making Gambling as a source of Fun, can still make a gambler addicted it does not only happen when the gambler think in terms of Money making. It is never a bad idea to believe one can make money from gambling, source of relieve, fun, what the gambler needs is limits, discipline and self control. If any gambler lacks this qualities he will surely get addicted and gamble irresponsibly.
Addiction is very wrong aside gambling too.

Gambling for fun will not lead to addiction, because you are only entertaining yourself with gambling. When you are gambling for fun, you don't care about your loss, because it does not mean anything to you since you used an amount of money that you can afford to lose.

Whoever is not disciplined will not gamble for fun, and if you think that you are discipline enough to the extend that you feel that you can make money out of gambling, you will finally become an addict. This is because you will not be able to control yourself and you will be gambling always to make profit, and that will lead to trying to recover your wins.

Of course it's wrong. From the story you described, it can be seen that the impact of a gambling addict is very bad, he is even willing to sacrifice everything he has, perhaps the worst impact is committing suicide after everything is finished. They get rich from gambling because they can manage their time, manage their money and have a strategy. But not many people get rich from gambling, and this is not because of addiction. It is true that they gamble every day but they have control, because what is called addiction is those who do not control themselves when gambling.

Quote

how can it be control or how can one manage gambling?

To control yourself so you don't get addicted. You have to use money to gamble according to your abilities, don't push too hard so that when you lose you don't feel disappointed and are ready to lose money. This may seem trivial, but it often has a negative impact on our finances and mental health when we gamble with money we are not prepared to lose. Budget allocation when gambling is also very important so that we can control our finances well, of course this must be done consistently, and most importantly when gambling, don't expect to get rich. Lastly, don't chase losses when you lose because this is the beginning of a gambling addiction.

Anything that is done excessively is wrong, be it gambling or anything in general, and gambling is even more troublesome because it involves money and finances and someone getting addicted to gambling will spend a lot of money on it even if they can't afford to do that, so yes, it is wrong to be addicted to gambling.

Well in what you say you are absolutely right, I could say that what is done in excess, any activity can be harmful, whatever it may be, and as far as gambling is concerned, being in a casino and doing it in excess is super dangerous, since you can lose a lot of money or maybe all the money, so this is why we as people have to have our control, and control lies according to my experience in money, there is no better way than to control things with money, because controlling coins at least for me is too difficult, I am willing to spend more than emotions to control money, and that is why I support what you say regarding doing these activities that are done in excess, are extremely dangerous.

Addiction is bad and that means you are doing things too much and that could affect your life. In gambling, too much exposure can lead you to addiction and that could ruin your life so technically its wrong but there are certain point where we experience a downturn in our lives and make mistakes, the real big challenge is how you will push yourself to bounce back and make things right.

Addiction is very wrong my brother because it brings about so many things such as depression, emotional imbalance, mental stress and among other things. When someone is addicted there is this chances of the person to be useless in life because there is the probability that the person will not have any savings or even owe debts just to gamble . I have seen so many addicts who sale of their properties to gamble or can use their property to stake for a bet such persons a pure addicts and there is virtually nothing to do about it however, getting addicted in gambling is very wrong because it will ruin your life .

Is getting addicted to gambling right or wrong? I mean this purely based on my opinion and if you ask me a question like this then I would say gambling addiction is totally wrong, because what is the point of having an addiction if you losing in it unless you get addicted to gambling but your luck and winrate is still above 70-80% and turned you into a profit every month hahahha but in reality, something like this doesn't happen.

So the truth is you can play gamble but don't get addicted if you can't control the addiction it gonna ruined yourself or your closer one. I seen it all

Is this really your question?
I ask you back: Do you think it's right for someone to have doubts about whether addiction is a good thing?

Anything in excess is bad for us, even water, you knew that.
For many years we have been discussing in this forum the harm of gambling when played irresponsibly and the disastrous consequences it causes in someone's life.

The problems are many and are not limited to just the financial problem. Some people ruin their jobs, lose their wives, girlfriends, children and even their entire family, others run away from home or commit robberies to support their addictions, not to mention people who have even committed suicide when they believed they could no longer recover their lives.

Gambling addiction, like any other type of addiction, is something very serious and harmful. Have no doubts about that.

Like, why do you come up with such thread? What do you tend to archive with it?

Do you need someone to tell you that, you need a license to carry arms or to drive a car?

How can you not tell when something as simple as this is right or wrong to seek public opinions on it. I really feeling terrible having to write here because, I think what this thread would promote is just spam and nothing more. You already know your answer as far as gambling addiction goes, even from the crap story in your OP.

This thread is highly unnecessary!
If there was an active board for it, maybe you would come up with, ‘if alcohol addiction is a good thing’!

As a gambler you should not pray to be addicted in gambling because I know quite well that people who is addicted in gambling is because they are looking for for a way forward to recover whatever they have loss so far, so I know that before you become addicted in gambling you might have lose several time in gambling and that is what motivated people, so therefore I condemn the act of participating in gambling without knowing that you loss or gain, another thing is that we should not try to recover what we loss in gambling, if you have such mindset it will end you getting addicted in gambling.

I don't know where you get your numbers though about people becoming successful thru gambling. It's not a job obviously that you can earn in regular basis, everything is based on luck. Maybe there are lottery winners who kept their money and invest that's why they didn't become poor or what. But I think majority here who become addicted doesn't have that success story to cover.

So by that standards, I would say that gambling per se is wrong, that's why you hear the argument that you should only gamble what you can afford to lose. Or just play for fun and entertainment because once you get addicted, it's hard to get out.

It is no mistake that people will participate in gambling but gambling can definitely be an important medium for their entertainment. Yes but he needs to be careful so that gambling doesn't ruin his career and have a negative impact on his family. The person in your community who is addicted to gambling and now cannot stop participating in gambling every day is a type of disorder. He is now so deeply addicted to gambling that he can no longer control himself from gambling. Yes, such a situation is never desirable but rather a situation where a gambler can stop gambling as needed and resume gambling when needed for entertainment. But in this case your community member must be treated in a rehabilitation center and must be motivated by his next of kin otherwise he is likely to face a more dire situation.

Every type of addiction is bad no matter what it is, people should understand how to check themselves if they are addicted or not and understand that there are many consequences between this addictions. It is never too late from everyone especially on those who are addicted to gambling, There are still chances to recover from it with the help of others like putting the guy on a rehabilitation center. I myself had been an gambling addict, but I recover from it and luckily I did it myself without the help of others. This shows that there are still chances before the addiction ruin our whole lives. Things like gambling should be done in moderation and I learned it the hard way.
