This simply means there is no way the world can be divided into two or three equal parts without finding that people gambles regularly and almost everyone is involved one way or the other, from my research on gambling it has been existing right from Origin of man.

I don't think this is true, because at least in my family there are a lot of people who like sports and are not gambling at all. First of all there is a big difference between males and females being interested in gambling. From all the female friends I have and also wifes of my friends I know that there are only 1-2 woman who are really into gambling and like to bet, all the others would not use their money for gambling. Maybe in different countries there is a stronger mentality for woman to enjoy gambling, but also in the casino in my home town the male to female ratio is like at least 1 to 6, maybe even 1 to 10. And among my male friends there are some who don't like gambling at all, I think that around 60-75% of my friends enjoy gambling. That is why I would expect that maybe 30-40% of all adults are involved in gambling in some form. You also need to take into account that in some countries gambling is banned by the government which will lead only a few people doing it illegally.

Another interesting statistic is this one:

Quote

3. 0.7% of Those Surveyed Are Considered Problem Gamblers.

What are problem gamblers? They are people who have the highest potential for loss of control when gambling by continuing to play regardless of the consequences.

This same group of online and offline gambling statistics shows that 1.1% of the respondents were categorized as moderate risk for losing control. The lowest risk group came in at 2.4%.

Problem gamblers correspond to a very small percentage of the total number. It goes heavily against the most common excuse used by authorities to forbid gambling activity.

Because most of gamblers wouldn't admit if they're addicted, this is the reason why the number of surveyed for gambling problems are low. If you're work or have a friend who work as a doctor, you will only find 1-2 people for few months who have gambling problem, because most of patient are illness, serious disease or mental health, not gambling problem.

Not to mention they might not being honest if they're have a gambling problem even someone busted them for gambling higher than their monthly wage.

It doesn't matter whether 100% of the populations lures into gambling since on your research it even started from the origin of man and I think it refers to how people are taking risks ever since.

I agree with title but not with the content of it. Every move one makes while living is gambling in my opinion. When you cross road there is chance of accident, when you plant crops there is chance of not raining, when you get operation for disease there is chance it may not be successful, etc.

These aren't gambling. These are the possible consequences of the decisions you make or risks you take. If there's anything that we have to worry about, it's the kind of gambling where people bet money to the extent that they can no longer control their habits of betting and no longer have discipline in their lives.

It depends on the definition of gambling, actually.
We can easily identify if someone gambles if they like rolling dices, play black jack,etc.

We can also include those how play video games and like to pay some money for loot-boxes, and see if they get valuable objects and skins.

But if we continue and try to stretch the definition of gambling, we may encounter that the line gets blurry at some point.

Do people who buy packages of collectible cards gamble?
Is acquiring a health insurance gambling?

It would better to check scientific studies to see if their definition equals ours.

And this is the reason why many gambling companies or sites are become successful, because there's a lot gamblers out there. I'd consider gacha in online game is gambling, nowadays most of popular games always have gacha in order to get the limited skin, item, skill etc. It's not surprising when someone is really want to get the limited skin, he will keep spend his money to get it even though he's use his money that will be used to buy foods.

Even MMORPG games have gacha nowadays for example Genshin Impact and Tower of Fantasy. Though they offer free spins, there are still people who love to spend some amount of money to get those exclusive items or some perks and benefits such as VIP.

Ever since I was a kid I really loved playing MMORPG's and I've spend some amount too with some of them, but I have realized too that it isn't really beneficial to me aside from it'll give me entertainment. Aside from having fun there is nothing much to gain, it makes me remember the saying " we are drawn to exclusivity" and paying to get those benefits only proves that.

How true is this?
Sometimes I found it's arguably, most time not reason being that out of the world populations 60% to 80% of it dominance and occupancies love sports and you know what this mean, 30% out of the 70% love gaming.

Allow me to put in context how big the gambling market is. The Business Research Company reports that The global gambling market grew from $449.04 billion in 2022 to $702.45 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 56.4%. The research further predicted that the gambling market is expected to grow to $765.89 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 2.2%. I cannot emphasize and re-emphasize how stupendously massive the gambling is.

In every ten person I know, at least 5 of person participates in some sort of gambling activity. This my estimation, cuts across gender. So, although it is generally believed that men bet more but I think on a personal level that this line is beginning to blur. Also, when we talk about marital status, although, I want to believe that people who are single gamble more, I think speaking to my friends, I discover that out of every 5 married friends, at least 3 participate in some sort of gambling online. This is my personal observation. It may be different from others.

True or not, we can just easily create our own view about it.

Since gambling almost covered the entire industry, the expected activity should be reached by most parts of the world. Politics, sports, and almost everything are now involved in gambling. What else gambling didn't cover? Make sense.

And if you we are going to look at it though, everything is life is a gamble, because we really don't know what will be the outcome of our decisions that can really affect us for good or bad. And now with the advent of technologies, gambling are now more accessible, again, perhaps this is due to the pandemic that most of us are at home and nothing to do, and for those who are really into gambling, then yeah, play in our phone and laptop and continue with it. And to some extend every sports that we love, football, soccer and basketball, sports that we love and so we beat on the outcome of it. Just shows that gambling is really universal and we all know that it will be part of human history, no matter what we say or the bad effects it can bring to the society.

That's the reality of life. We're taking risks to achieve something. Sometime things favour us and we succeed and sometimes things were in the opposite way. As said life itself a gamble. Whether we succeed or fail depends on how we move forward with statistics as well as the luck that favour us.

Gambling in recent years have grown big than tha past. Gambling existed long ago, but the growth and the spread hadn't happened high as now. Earlier there is not much of awareness. Nowadays everything is happening in a well processed way and people aren't that greed. The newcomers have the greed and misunderstanding of winning big out of gambling. Slowly this too have changed as people know the risks and started to participate.

Risk and gambling is a natural phenomena, its arguable excluding the idea of money on the bet that almost everyone is involved in various gambles they take every day in their lives. Thats why its such an applicable activity to take part in because we already do it everyday either physically or life decisions that must be taken. Everything in life could be weighed up as various weighted probabilities, certainty is a myth imo.

Now let say something very striking

Sports creates ways for gambling
Gaming gives raise to gambling

This simply means there is no way the world can be divided into two or three equal parts without finding that people gambles regularly and almost everyone is involved one way or the other, from my research on gambling it has been existing right from Origin of man.

Result from wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling#History

I think this is true since in my country, I often see people gamble through different ways. I think this widespread of people engaged in gambling is mostly due to their want to earn more so they are willing to gamble their money to get more. I can consider it popular in my country since we can see it to be embedded in our culture since it is often portrayed in movies and series, so most people have idea about it. So, it is no doubt that most of the population would be involved in gambling since even in the smallest event, gambling activity can be seen like when there are friend gathering where they often play card games that involved minimal amount of money.

OP, gambling is a huge business all over the world, and there are thousands of casinos, but I believe the United States has the most, followed by Romania. Gambling did not start today. It has existed since 3000 BCE, and even today, there are new casinos opening almost every year because people love games and gambling will always be the next thing they want to do. If all of the casino owners had realized that there was no profit in the business, they would have closed down a lot of casinos, but it's a big business with profit.
OP, check out County worldwide ranked by number of casinos.

The funny thing is, most people gamble without gambling as well. Like the reality is that some people ended up buying some type of meme token or shitcoin and lost a ton of money all because there is a chance that we could consider that as much of a gambling as ee can. I hope that we should be calling that trading for sure but that doesnt mean that we will, because if you have no idea and still trade then that means that we shouldnt really be considering the situation as gambling. All those people added on gamblers will be a huge population for sure

I don't doubt this.

Even in my workplace alone, I'm surprised that a lot of employees are now talking about this local slots game that some of them won hundreds of dollars from. Even those people whom you wouldn't really think that gambles is playing the game, and is winning a lot from it. It caught like wildfire, and almost everyone is playing this whenever they have extra money or extra time. Even on small localities and communities, this online slots game is exceptionally popular. Idk how they knew about it but people are enjoying playing it.

So yeah, I think it's possible that a huge number of the world's population is into gambling—or at least exposed to it.

it is no doubt that a lot of human population is into gambling one way or another as it has been like innate to humanity. the form of gambling evolves thru time and now, we are seeing them going digital, which is more accessible to all people from all walks of life.
i believe, most have encountered gambling at one point in their lives. some continue their involvement, whereas, some may have occasional interaction. but there will always be some who will hate gambling for so many reasons.

This change had happened through the smartphone. In the past to spend on gambling it is a big process. Now its not like that, you just wanna have the smartphone and the gambling platforms provide you with cent percent privacy. You can gamble from any location. One thing good with your colleagues, everyone are playing when they've got some money extra as well as at their free time. Same as its easy reach, it had also got more negative effects as people come with big expectations and the losses can't be accepted.

There must be definite data so we can say most people, that can be done through a survey but if the survey is conducted only in certain countries then it still cannot describe that most people gamble because the culture of a region can affect whether people gamble or not. However, saying that sports make people gamble is not entirely true because many sports lovers stick to the love of watching and not betting. So everyone has to go through a study with an even sample in each country so that we can say most people gamble

It’s a fact that gambling has now become very known to all parts of the world, but I cannot agree that most of the world’s population have been gambling. The fact that some religions and certain traditions are against to it, then these people involved in such religion or tradition are definitely not allowed to gamble. And while most of us love sports and entertainment, it does not mean that we all gamble for that. Some are just being entertained with sports gambling, but not a lot of people involve themselves in gambling.

By the word most, it does not mean all but the majority which I think and believe is true. In our life each one of us may be involved in gambling in one way or another. Many of those who said they don't gamble might not know or remember that in their history, they probably made a bet or something like that. So gambling even once made us involved in gambling and that is a fact. So yeah I agree that most people are involved in gambling.

I believe that most of the world's population is very familiar with gambling, but that does not mean that half of the world's population is actively involved in gambling. how can that happen, because, in other parts of the world gambling is something that is illegal. Also, it doesn't mean someone who knows gambling that they are a gambler. however, if you change the title of this thread to "most likely half of the world's population has ever gambled even if it's only occasionally" those things would still make sense to me.

However, if what you wrote in the title of this thread were to come close to reality, I'm sure there would be plenty of research journals on the effects of gambling on the world's population. at the very least, we'll have corroborating data and statistical evidence for the title in this thread. but since it doesn't describe the truth, then I will say that this is just your personal assumption.
