The major problem with gambling is misinformation, and fear of missing out. Many people look at lottery winners, and high stake winners and think somehow that when they play, they will be like them. They have a disproportionate view of the odds of winning as the media sensationalizes winners, whilst ignores the losers, so the ratio of winners to losers you see on the media is massively warped. Sports betting and similar ones are less warped, but stay away from completely luck based games such as roulette, as you'll likely be screwed in the long run.
The presence of certain psychiatric disorders also increases the risk of gambling addiction. It is not uncommon for compulsive gamblers to suffer from depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder or hyperactivity disorder. For example, people with bipolar disorder often engage in high-risk behavior during manic or hypomanic episodes.
Gambling is a form of entertainment, they said
A very bad type of entertainment I think, and I'm confuse how others sees it as an entertainment if they are losing their money, I'm not like that. I'm earning my money through hard work and I'm not going to spend it on gambling just to have some kind of entertainment, I'm wiser than that.
The way everyone looks for entertainment is different. Maybe you are not entertained from gambling but many people are entertained by gambling, many people are happy because of gambling. Losing money has become a consequence already known to all gamblers, as long as we do not lose a lot of money, gambling can be fun.

Yeah! There are a lot of consequences of playing gambling and you cannot afford any of them because if you will try to do so, it will completely destroy your whole life and you would be responsible for all that and no one else. It is correct that gambling is having a lot of risk in it because you are dealing with the thing which you need the most in our life which is money.
Problem gambling is a critical situation as the gambler loses all control over the act. He even ignores his family and finances while doing so. There are certain signs of problem gambling. For instance, if a person has started to take loans from family members to gamble, it is certainly one of the indications.
Gambling really does not bring real value to the society and the gambler itself. The first thing to gamble is to transfer money from one wallet to another. Gambling takes us time and destroys our health, losing our passion for labor. Gambling makes people greedy and vicious.
That is just one plain truth and whether we like it or not, even some of those who keep saying they are in for the fun, is just a way to keep oneself in check from becoming an addict. With the way gambling has turned some people into liabilities in the society; it has done more harm than good and has only enriched the pocket of those who own the casinos as they keep making money off people's greed and carelessness.

They lost control of themselves, the lost control on time and money and even ignore other important responsibilities in their families.
I'm not a gambler addict and I just did try playing hi-lo betting sites but I already felt all those consequences and it's really the worst feeling when you lost. I tried to recover my losses but I still lost. That feeling stayed in me for 2 weeks. It's really makes me very weak.
That's what gambling does to everyone it makes you feel happy in starting when you are winning but slowly you start losing more than you are winning but you still continue but finally you start getting frustrated and you gamble everything away and lose everything Lol that is the most common consequence that happens to people playing dice. Sometimes you'll be able to make up for your loss when you continue but most of the time it ends up with you just losing everything.

I hope nothing would be kicked because if there is it would be your butt when you lose a lot of money. I agreed that you would be really thirsty when you experience the hype of winning big money and the mind would let you know that you could win it again but it is less likely than that.
What is the point kicking your own butt if you lose, unless you were actually expecting to win which would make such a person a played fool. The thing here is that when you do not expect anything from gambling than to pay some money to have some fun, then you would not really have a problem when you are losing and when you even win big, that would even come with a lot of surprise and then you just walk away rather than looking for more.Leaving from gambling after some time must be a very noble characteristic which is a not common behavior among most of the gamblers. To avoid undesired consequences of gambling, we must look for minimizing the gambling hours so that we can minimize the gambling's bad consequences. The positive consequences of gambling are very less compared to the suffering we may face most of the times. Hence expecting positive consequences is just meaningless.
the consequences of playing gambling are huge and must accept what will happen to yourself, because gambling is a very big risk and can be legal too, because gambling is prohibited by the state and religion as well. then it is better to be avoided than to have to deal with the same law

In religious countries, gambling is prohibited and illegal. If someone is caught in accusation of gambling, he or she will be suffering badly and will be sentenced in jail. Because almost in every religion this gambling is considered as wrong act and not suitable for a person’s benefit and life. So leave such game that have so big risks forum and can even make you a big loser and losing your money.

It made you extremely weak because you ended up deceiving yourself into the idea you are going to get lucky with your gambling and rather hit it big than you owning up to your action and accepting that the path you are about to take, is actually the path that most of the time, you are going to be losing a whole lot.It is normal to always that kind of feelings when you are looking for so much from gambling and you should be lucky you are beginning to realize that now before it ends up too late.

My question is -
______________
Has gambling left a trace on you; if it has which consequences are you experiencing right now?
______________

Yes, it has.
It completely messed up my relationship to money. With enough retreat, I can rethink what I did, how I did it, if it was right or wrong ...
I am now learning how to save a little. And I'm amazed at how much I can save, and the forms my savings can take.
As much as I can hate banks, I have now first the first time of my life a savings account with a three figure sum for more than a month.
I still gamble from times to times, but it isn't the same kind of gambling.
Now, I'm gambling to play a game / chill out a bit / have fun.
Before, my gambling was destructive.
I think it's up to everyone. It's easier for some than for others. It may also not be the right time for some people.
Everything comes at the right time.

I have never gambled regularly. I have gambled many years ago just one time and I won the bet. But I was also not addicted of gambling. That’s why I did not take it seriously because I know that the consequences of gambling are evil and nobody can be happy with that. If someone wins 100 dollars, the other day he loses 200 dollars. It means that the result of gambling ends always in lose.Losing money is not the single worst thing we can get from gambling if we aren't careful enough. The opportunity to lose other precious things in our lives also exists. For example, we can lose our family, close friends and work. Extra caution will be necessary if we want to do gambling. So, be careful!
he doesn't have to lost everything if he can realize that he always has the opportunity to leave the gambling games and back to his family, his friends and promise to not come back to the gambling places. but unfortunately, there are not too many people that realize this and that person is only risk everything he has without knowing that for what he did, there will be consequences that he should face it later. and before it's too late, it is better to leave from the gambling places and don't use gambling as our source income.

Look mate, let me get this straight and simple for you. Everyone who has gambled knows the risk and the bad effects of gambling. But do they care? Do the smokers care for their lung cancer? They dont - they will continue with their vices because its what gives them pleasure. When their minds before too full of these vices they cant stop doing them.
They wont listen to religion, laws or their family.
Most gamblers know the risk that they can lose everything in gambling but unfortunately, most of them are not prepared with the bad risks. What's on their mind is mostly just a good dream to earn easy money. Regret will come in the end, when all has happened and we can't change the facts.
