If you have a target to win, then it will only make you have pressure and may be depressed if the result is a loss. So, if your goal or target in gambling is just fun, then you will not prioritize about the results. But, if the result is a win, then of course it will make you will get more joy because it may be like a jackpot, which is received suddenly because it does not have a target to get it in the first place. But of course, it might also be good to make you avoid bankruptcy, because people who do not have good consideration and have no responsibility, they will continue to bet until there is no more money left which makes it worse.
The truth is that even if you gamble for fun you will still have a desire to win, nobody gambles just to have fun and lose and never thinks about winning.  The most important thing is just to have the right mindset,  never expect it will always be a win, just have the understanding that gambling is unpredicted.

 When their is understanding that it is unpredictable whatever may be the result it won't be a surprise for you. Normally that sense of having a win will be there but if their is a clear understanding about gambling by not expecting it must be a win and playing with the amount you can afford to lose I don't think this will be a problem.

With gambling gaining awareness each day and the population of those gambling increasing it's calls for concern as many has fallen victim to this money sucking game that makes people not to save their money but loss it.
But let's take a critical look at this very sensitive matter called gambling has anyone really made it from gambling, is gambling worth it and if really anyone has made it through gambling can he/she proudly tell the younger ones that gambling is what going into.
Infact gambling has made many to go broke and live in poverty many has lost their life savings and even pension in gambling, I am of the view that gambling should be controlled by the government of each country and that there should be a maximum amount of money one should use in gambling.

It has been clearly stated that anyone who is under 18 of age is not or should not gamble because of some security reasons and I believe this law was made by the government and in some country in the world they arrest anyone who is gambling below the age of 18 so I don't know what you want the government to do again. Anyone who is +18 should not been seen as a child or kid anymore because he or she knows what is right to do and what is wrong to do.

It is individual that is abusing it and perhaps you should stop talking only the negative side of gambling there are people who gambling has made millionaires, billionaires etc and again stop generalizing it as a bad thing or something that is wrong to do, they don't force individual to gamble rather individual chooses to..., there are also people who don't gamble that's there choice.

Gambling is like a double edge sword and it's consequences depends on how gambler handles this sword.
I would say it doesn’t depend on the gambler. Rather, it depends on the luck of the gambler which side he gets. Gambling cannot always be a key factor in getting into poverty. If you gamble in limit and gamble that amount that you can afford to lose, then you can definitely manage the amount you lose. Now there are some people who gamble blindly; they completely trust in their luck. But as there is no proper planning, hence it might lead to poverty.

Gambling is a form of entertainment that is full of risks. That is why many people say that gambling is like a double-edged sword. And when it comes to luck in gambling, to hell with luck, because we never know for sure when luck will come, and is there anyone here who can be sure when luck will come?

And the fact is that someone can become poor, it is because he continues to chase that luck, luck that he will not necessarily get. Instead of being able to get rich immediately from gambling, gambling actually makes life more miserable.

Gambling is the most enjoyable place to waste the money we have for free, therefore gamble in a controlled manner and make sure you only gamble with the amount of money you can afford to lose. Don't let gambling be more important than other things that are more important.

Gambling often presents itself as a quick path to wealth, but it tends to be a shortcut to financial ruin if one becomes addicted or irresponsible. With more people being drawn into it every day, it’s becoming a serious issue that affects not just individuals, but also their families and communities. Most often, gambling leads to heavy losses, leaving people in a cycle of desperation, especially if they always expect to win and believe they will succeed by imitating others' strategies.

That's something most people don't understand, there's no quick path to wealth, whatever is gotten easily would go easily that's just how life is. This is why people that won millions from gambling still end up going back to square after a long time because they took an easy path. I sat down one day to analyze and calculate what I spent on gambling through out the year and also calculed what I won, I found out that I was the one that actually lost a huge amount of money. It might take a lot of time to realize that gambling is actually a losing game.
It takes a long time to reveal the true nature of gambling, but it seems that after living with it for a long time, the participants also forget that this is a wild beast, no matter how hateful this ugly face is, they still dedicate their efforts and youth to it. The gentle implication is to return to the starting point, the strong implication is to destroy the starting point to retreat to lower positions once gambling, instead of mistaking this as a shortcut to wealth, correctly perceive it as a huge detour, and once you go around it, your youth will fade and never return.

I think gambling is a broad issue, because whether we admit it or not, there are only a few who win jackpots in casinos. And most of them are losers in gambling. Though, there are also many who win but not large amounts to say.

There are others who get jackpots but also run out of what they won in a short time, there are others who use their jackpots correctly in the right way. I have seen many of these in documentaries and television programs.

Gambling consultants also try to influence others by losing money, but you should be aware of their persuasion. There is nothing wrong with gambling habits, but if you see someone getting addicted, you should try to stop them so that they can save themselves from further losses. It is really unfortunate for people who go to casinos with loans and such addictions that they are putting their families in danger due to their addiction.

You are right that the number of such cases is increasing and gamblers are losing a lot of their hard-earned money in casinos or other gambling boards. I think a responsible gambler should continue to gamble from their disposable income. Gambling with loans can be a very suicidal decision.
There is nothing wrong with gambling habits but they must strictly with their rules so they can also control themselves and not losing too much money. But they must not thinks that gambling is short cut the poverty because that can only makes them to have more losses. People who still thinks like that will get gambling addiction without realize that they need to control themselves because gambling really tempts them to keep playing gambling.

If that is happen to those who are in the low class, they will not have a chance to change their life to be better but they will have a worst situation and difficult to survive. The gambling addiction case will increase if people can not control themselves and still want to make money from gambling. We must stop ourselves from playing gambling too often and always prevent the use of big money.

Anyone that gambles responsibly doesn't have anything to worry about because he is in control of his actions unlike the gambler that's obsessed and addicted. When it gets to that point where a gambler has to take loans to gamble it's obvious that it has become a dependency issue, sometimes gamblers who do this don't care if they win or lose they only care about satisfying the urge to gamble, it's like a drug to them. Gambling has existed for a long time and it isn't a threat to you unless you let it, responsible gambling is the only solution to this.

Right. But some people suggest others gamble when they need money. If you are active in the lending section, you will see a lot of people taking a loan with the reason "Personal." I assume most of them spend their loans on casinos. We saw a thread on the reputation section a couple of weeks ago. A forum member who regularly took loans to gamble at casinos recently created a thread about it.

He was suffering from a gambling addiction, and now he is unable to pay back the loan on time. A believe there are a lot more similar cases where people gamble and lose their money. They should be responsible and stay away from gambling.

Yes, that is the ideal, but based on the things that should be done when we are in a casino, we are going to have fun, but when we are playing we want to win, and that advantage is sometimes what we must handle, that is why I always before playing, before leaving my house or Sitting at the computer to play in a casino, I have how much money I am willing to spend in that casino, and I do not go over there, because if I go over I get out of balance with my finances , it is not that I choose a large amount, no, it is small but it is significant to me, because I stop going out and eating a hamburger or pizza to go gamble.

Having the mindset that gambling is a shortcut to poverty is not bad only if we have a good strategy that will be able to be making money for us. It is not easy for every gambler to be making money from gambling and that's why we ought to bet on games that will give us profits not random games that will give a little profit and game the profits back from us.
People that do not have a job or something doing that will always keep them busy are the ones that will always end up having gambling addiction and other complicated gambling issues.
Maybe the bad thing is having a mindset that gambling is a shortcut to success or wealth, this kind of mindset is what I think many people experience whose lives are ruined by gambling because with this kind of mindset they tend to become someone who is addicted to gambling by ignoring the risk side which is clearly more likely to happen compared to the opportunity to get profit in gambling.

In my opinion, there is no game that will give us a definite advantage if it is gambling, all games called gambling have a greater chance of losing than winning.

I wouldn't say gambling is meant to be for the rich people, but I totally agree with the notion that poor people shouldn't gamble, that's for sure. Poor people when gamble they risk everything they have hoping to to win some big money, they don't think of gambling as entertainment, rather they think it can help them to make money. People who think like that shouldn't gamble at all.

anyone can gamble, of course, but if you have more disposable income it'll fit you much better than if you don't
the problem is that it is exactly the most vulnerable people with low income that end up getting to gambling with the hope of making it, but with really little knowledge on managing risk and taking care of their own emotions...

it's a crazy world

Yup I agree with this one and it means the biggest mistake of gamblers is when they use gambling as a medium to overcome problems they are having outside of entertainment such as financial problems, most of the gamblers who are now experiencing the bad impacts are those who come by prioritizing money as the main goal and I think the reason is clear that behind the scenes they are having problems with their finances such as those who have low incomes or those who are in debt for example, so I quite agree with your opinion that the majority of problem gamblers are those who associate gambling with their personal financial problems.

oh, this is the worst situation
same with drugs and sometimes even other everyday things like food or sex.
Prioritizing money for a while may be ok but remember that when you make enough (and this is a different number for each person) you have to simply say "that's enough" and to stop playing and to find a work that gives you meaning and happinness and decide what to do with your time and energy here in this planet.
when you have financial buoyant and you have issues that depressed you can't believe can make you to forget about such depressed because once you remember gambling and the make your predictions you will not be thinking of that stress on the problem you'll be thinking of your gambling but the thing is that is good for someone who is financial to do that knowing that when it lose it will not affect it life or add for the initial thinking or problem that is undergoing but when you have the money and the you know that when you lose it will not affect you I think gambling can be one of the day that relieve a depression whenever you are depressed that is why there's a gambling is a part of entertainment and his meant for rich people but the process whereby you are not rich and they have issue and you go to gambling for me I will advise you not to go into gambling because it will add for your problem because you cannot resist two things at the time

A lot of people who are dreaming of making it big in gambling do not even have the ability and capacity to handle such big amount when it comes, and when/if it eventually does, they squander it and in a matter of time, they’re back to nothing. Gamblers should really learn to set realistic expectations when gambling as this is the major problem most gamblers face.
You spit truth there.

These gamblers that don't have the capacity to hold and manage huge amounts are likely to go back to their former way of living.

So, even if they have won a hundred thousand, a million or any other huge amounts when they can't handle big amounts, they're likely to spend it carelessly and waste it all.
Habit of people out there when they have large amount of money from winning gambling, they feel that they will never run out of money even though they have spent it on various desires that previously could never be fulfilled, they also feel that getting money is so easy that they think that if money starts to run out they can gamble again.
Everything will depend on the mindset of each individual, people with clear mindset will certainly be able to manage everything well and even prioritize being able to get long-term benefits so that they can have much better survival until old age, but unfortunately some people only care about momentary pleasure.
It is true.

When people have won significant money with gambling, they all think that they're not going to lose it anymore. All they want to do is to make use of all that money they've won.

And that is because they think that they're already rich and they will never run out of money again but that's the wrong thought that they are stocking on their minds.

IMO it's the same buddy Cheesy, in gambling that depends on luck is only the result but when we talk about long-term safety then of course it depends on how good and smart a gambler treats his gambling activities, as said by @Watche that the consequences of gambling depend on how a gambler handles his gambling activities. Basically everything that is done with full limitations such as limiting the amount of money bet or the time sacrificed or the expectations involved all depend on the gambler themselves because only they determine everything, but I also will not close my eyes that what you said is true about gambling that must be done with full limitations.

If one can keep his emotions under control while gambling then he won't lose much in gambling. You are right that it's there for centuries but not every gambler is bankrupt rather the one who got themselves addicted to it. Taking loans for gambling is the worst thing a person can do and if a person has gone too far in gambling then its very much sure that he has lost control over his emotions.

Do you know that there is something called responsible gambling? We all know how bad gambling can end up. Gambling-addicted people even take loans and sell their assets to gamble more and expect to win something big which will change their lives. Even if they win something big, the addicted people will gamble more to make additional money. Unfortunately, that is not how it works.

I don't think the government would be able to control the entire gambling industry since there are a lot of unregulated online casinos. The government can't monitor the casinos. People never reveal their wealth in casinos. Even if they are broke, they will act like they are rich.

Anyone that gambles responsibly doesn't have anything to worry about because he is in control of his actions unlike the gambler that's obsessed and addicted.

A persons choice on whether or not to gamble is theirs and theirs alone, the poor should not go into gambling as a means to make it big, such an obsession can be blinding, leading to the person loosing everything thing they have.
In fact, in this world, there are many poor people who gamble and they are ambitious to get rich quickly. The bonuses given to the winners are indeed not playing around if someone is lucky in their game, therefore many poor gamblers are tempted by big wins. In fact, I rarely see rich people gambling to get richer because most of them use gambling for entertainment, so the conclusion is that anyone should not use gambling to get rich quickly because gambling is not a place to invest.
In fact, those who are rich basically have no shortage of money, so they do not give priority to money, but prefer gambling to entertainment. Even if rich people win big lotteries or hit the jackpot, it doesn't change them because they may not use the jackpot money for their business but they participate in gambling because they prioritize entertainment.
But if poor people get a big lottery or jackpot, they can change the situation and have a chance to become a rich businessman or entrepreneur. That's why rich people have the potential to become rich by making huge gambling profits, even if they don't change their circumstances.

But in reality the number of such lucky people is very few.  However, over-indulgence in the hope of the jackpot is more likely to lead to bankruptcy.
In fact, this kind of perspective makes it more likely that a poor or rich person will become addicted to gambling. Because the main purpose of gambling for such people is to win a big jackpot, or to get 3X or 5X return. And they keep gambling in the hope of this, as a result they fall into addiction.
But those who are rich, do not have any shortage of money, rich people often gamble for entertainment, And they gambling with that money, which they intention of losing.
So in the case of a poor or rich gambler, gambling outside the realm of hope in the hope of big profits can lead to big losses, although sometimes some people suddenly get a jackpot and their financial situation improves, but such lucky people are very few.
So poor or rich people should not enter risky places like gambling to improve their financial situation, do good deeds and earn money honestly, and see gambling only as a form of entertainment.
