I have been into gambling site signature campaign for a while and i kinda feel guilty whenever i say negative things about it because its a little bit contradicting even if it is correct. So id like to state things that are the reasons why gambling is not that bad but all in moderation.

1. It gives you easy money or easy cash whenever you hit jackpot. You can earn month earned worth money within minutes if youre that lucky.

2. It is pure 100% entertaining. The chills it gives you whenever you pray to win in every games makes you forget time that even you go home late at night.

3. You can forget all your problems for a while. It also a way of relieving stress because you are more focused on the game than your problems even for a short period of time.

4. You can also have some quality time with your friends or family in such a unique and fun way.


I list all possible positive effects and try to avoid negative ones to justify that there are really positive things about gambling. It is really good if you have control.

As long as you have moderation and you have friends to enjoy the fun on what gambling is giving that will be ok for you and your friends, but once that moderation is taken out and you extended your hours in playing the game and add extra money then that's the time the problem will come out you're not going to notice it until you have lost control.

Some of the gambling advantages listed by op could easily make people addicted to gambling lol.  I agree with you on making money via gambling though. Gambling  shouldn't be seen as investment


The truth about this whole thing called gambling is: as a gambler when you continue to earn through the process of gambling, you will definitely get addicted to the games. Winnings make many a gamblers addicted and when they invest more into gambling destructive addiction will crap into their life, which will end in depression. Gambling should be taken soft than the win and win types that end up in addiction. 

People should be careful but weighing properly their chances in gambling, if they believe they can win, they have to prove it, otherwise they will keep trying until they loss all their money and will regret in the end. The only problem is when you loss control because lots of bad things will happen, that includes losing big money that will make you regret later and could also cause depression. One big mistake might make you regret forever if you are not responsible.

Well, it's kinda like Yin-Yang where there's bad in good and there's good in bad. And it's actually nice to read something that says positive things about gambling. Though there are still disagreements on some parts of the positive ones, that's probably because of their personal experiences. But as for me who doesn't gamble very much, I do not have anything to disagree with the said ideas on the op. Good job for giving a balance to gambling's image!
Giving a good balance and provide information on this matter it will helps to make good understanding, those personal experiences adds some weight but not totally everyone will agree as there's some differences with person who gambles and have different views, but again it will ends up who will determine it and how it matter according to its way.

Gambling can viewed differently by people because we all have views in life, some may find good in gambling because it can provide easy money if your are lucky, some may also find it like badly because we can’t deny the fact that a lot of people who gamble have issues with money, family and all. Most people will see addict of gambling deteriorating so they will think it is very stressful. Gambling is supposed to be for fun and entertainment however, a lot can’t control themselves which leads to addiction. Gambling should be done on moderation because too much is unhealthy.

Just don't try to sum up all the money you've lost since the day you learned how to gamble. Doing so will depress you. You'll know you've lost so so much more than you've won.
Thats a great idea since this will only brings us frustration everytime we reminisce our losses from the moment we start gambling or some occasions that we have lose large amount.

Remember that in gambling all our money is at stake since this is a luck game and not ability
I guess most gamblers are not doing that, the fact is we only remember our winning moments and forget the loses, that makes us unrealistic sometimes but if we are just gambling purely for fun, that's the best thing to do.
But also that’s not people want to do here in gambling area

We know how gamblers act and they play just to profit and those you mentioned for fun?is only so few that we can count using our fingers lol

But you are definitely right that if we can only make this for fun?maybe life will be easier and nothing negative will apply in gambling

Gambling is really fun, especially if there are no cheating involved. In real life gambling, cheating is always practiced. Some people wants to play a game where cheating is involved because they enjoy the thrill of finding out the trick done in order to outsmart other people, but a lot of people wants a clean and fair game. They say it's on you when you are tricked without knowing it, but is it really? Is it really your fault that they cheat in order to win while you on the other hand wants to play and immerse yourself in a fair game? I know a gambling site where your fate can be dictated just by pure luck, the Vegas Casino. Vegas is known for its casino's everywhere, and as the name sounds, Vegas Casino never disappoints! You can try and see if lady luck is smiling at you as you play.

Promoting gambling is not a bad thing to me because I myself is a gambler.  I have been playing gambling on a low key for more than 6 years now and I do win and lose but to me what really matters is having control over yourself on when you are gambling.
This is good to hear that you are having control gambling for too long,you can be a good example for how gamblers need to be.When we don't have much greed while betting and also aware of when to stop betting make us to gamble long without any issues.
From this experienced gambler everything can be smooth he can continue working and promoting without any problem, as he already have a long time playing activities so he can be a good example on how things should be done, gambling can be fun and yet addictive for people who don't know how to play properly.
Everyone have to remember that gambling is not only about fun but self control and wise strategy too. Otherwise you will lose over and over again and won't be able to just have a fun anymore.
Actually I will not limit someone why they play gambling, whatever their purpose, to have fun, entertaining, or even to get profit thouigh, it is not a problem. but use wise plans and strategies! use the amount you can afford to lose mate, and you can play with anything goals in gambling
There is nothing wrong about gambling other than the mindset of some gamblers who treat it as a sole way of making money without having prior knowledge about it. This is a sick mentality and I think every year, people who take gambling as a source of making money loose millions of dollars. On the other hand, if you enter the arena with good knowledge, you would gamble with limits and at times would make money.

You are free to promote gambling to anyone, regardless of whether they are addicts, profit or loss. that is none of your business.
the most important thing is if you promote gambling, you also have to give them risks and consequences, so he know firts what will he face

Promotion or advertisement is a great marketing instrument that can make you so many costumers or users and I think that it is not a bad thing to promote gambling.

Almost all the gamblers know about the consequences of gambling that it might either result in a win or loss, there is no need to caution them the least. In addition, I think that there should be a mechanism to eliminate the scammers from the gambling industry.

3. You can forget all your problems for a while. It also a way of relieving stress because you are more focused on the game than your problems even for a short period of time.

I kind of disagree with this.

I disagree since I have experience of this. I am gambling to have fun, to forget my problem at that time since the doctor told my mother is sick and I can't accept it since she already knew it and she is not telling us. I want to gamble and have some fun but after that, I kind of regretted it since I lost the money that I can use to help with my mother's medication.
Gambling is for fun but it does not help us forget our problems. I had a similar experience years back, I always had fun in gambling and that year my girl broke up with me, the only thing I could think of that time to quickly ease me of the pain was to gamble which I recorded the greatest loss that day since the history of my gambling.

I think, we make more loses when we go into gambling with the mindset of relieving ourselves of stress, because we are not always in the right state of mind to play and then we end up making so much loses. Gambling does not help relieve stress, it only distracts us a little bit, but once the game ends, we are back to the same pains.
To be honest, I have been part of sports gambling and I do gamble in my favorite leagues both to enjoy the game and to make money though making money has never been my first priority. But at times, I earn a big hand which makes me think why on the earth are not all the people gambling and due to this is think it should be promoted though banned in many countries.

Thanks for sharing your story and sorry about the heartbreak from your EX, I believe you must   have gotten over it by now. I always tell my fellow gamblers never gamble with the intention of relieving stress ,or gambling to forget some hurtful events, it will always make a gamer loose awfully. There are other games or places to visit to quickly recover from hurt or any form of heartbreak and gambling should not be an option for this.The best time to gamble is when one is in a good mood, that is when the fun is attained at peak and loses minimized.

We can't limit them as its their money and its their right to gamble.
We can only give advise but the rest of way, it's their call, it's good to promote gambling if you are enjoying it, but we cannot
erase the fact that no matter who we are sincere in giving advise, there are still irresponsible gamblers which cannot control themselves.

No matter he emphasis on Self-control, there are still player who would never   obey the rule because of greed and then they would come back to pour their frustration on casino sites after making loses.
That's true as not all of the gamblers are responsible, you can call yourself only a responsible gambler if you know your limit.
Control is important as you are controlling the risk here.

Like you mentioned been content with little winnings, many will never be content, since gambling is their only source of income and this is really wrong.

This is not a good mentality, gambling cannot be source of income if you don't have the talent or the skills to do it, but one is sure, we gamblers will be a source of income of the gambling sites operators.

Gambling is not supposed to be a source of income and if at all you choose to make it a source of income, just learn to avoid greed  and there will surely be record of more wins than loses for your games.

Play for fun, that's more matured thinking.

You know if you can consider it as a source of income if you can make consistent income in gambling, but winning just once and declared you are good is you yourself being delusional.

And that is what self control is.having played for 6 years and yet betting in low keys?thats rare because the longer we played the higher profit we demand so we basically go for high bets in time
