Greediness is worse than risk because the greed keeps you going even if you win as the human nature is so that it always wants more and more.While with risk you say I have this 100 dollars and I am going to risk it all on gambling and if you win (well greed keeps you going) but if you lose than you stop as you took a risk which didn't generate the results you were expecting.

That is a minor difference between these two but these can be the same for example when by risking we are winning which as I said leads to greed.

Gambling should not be stressful at all, if it is then it is because the person that is gambling is using too much money and losing it when they need it for other expenses, if you can gamble with a small amount of money and you keep it under control then gambling can be not only exciting but incredibly relaxing as you can let go of all the stress that you have accumulated during the week due to your job and all of your obligations, so anyone that is getting so stressed when they gamble is gambling incorrectly if you ask me.

Greediness and risk both are almost the same, because we wager looking for an outcome. If the outcome is same as our prediction we'll be the winner, if not we lose. Whether it is greediness or risk, we need to have luck to win against the house.

In this concept which has to do with gambling, one could be said to be "greedy" if he has a certain amount of money and yet not satisfied with the little or huge which he has, i.e always wanting to have that which belongs to others, and one can also be said to take "risk" when he/she tends to gamble all he has with the sole aim of doubling it, which he could either lose or gain

I agree, that a person especially those who are addicted to gambling, should admit and take responsibility on whatever the result of their gambling activity is.  The Casino both online and landbase are just there to entertain people, it is up to us whether we will limit ourselves or not.  If ever we lost a lot of money, it is not the casino's fault, it is our own fault because we are the ones controlling the flow of our money.



I partially agree with you, gambling is indeed an exciting hobby but whether it is not healthy depends on us.  Even drinking a lot of colas is not healthy.  So anything in excess isn't good.

That's right mate, the final judgement must be made from the user's end which is the gambler after several considerations onbthe whole situation especially in football matches, we cannot undermine the impact of others view and approaches in the games, but as I've said earlier that the final judgement mist be from our end, you determine what you see, play and stake after several analysis


Definitely every gambker must fall into either of these two categories, somebeven engage into gambling to whine away time in other to avoid boredom thereby making fun out of it not minding the cost in there.

There is no chance of imposing one's own blame on others. As gambling does not force anyone to play. If you want to play or not to play. It should not be blamed on gambling or casino house. You can play here as you want. The biggest thing is to control oneself. Those who can control themselves are successful.

Don't let us get this twisted, gambling is what you conclude it to be by yourself, not what anyone concludes for you. And some of the criteria to judge whether gambling is bad for you or not are your psychology towards gambling and why you are gambling, whether for money or fun.

Gambling could be good, particularly for someone like me who plans my engagements and is not addicted to it. It is fun at times when I am bored, and I use little money for my betting. I might even abstain for over 6 months without a single bet, so it is not bad for me. But for those that are so engrossed with it, it might be bad as long as it is now controlling them.

I share that opinion with you, I would never say that, gambling is not a bad activity, there are only people who do not know how to interpret things, I respect the decision and opinion of each person, but they cannot generalize that gambling is bad, because of signatures like these is that in some countries they manage to ban games and casinos, that is something that can never be real, if people want to play in a casino they are free to do so.


If people fall into addiction it is because of them, because the control of the money is in the person who bets, but it is not in the game, I have not seen any game that says: Come and bet all your money or insist to do it, those are things that people have to understand.

how can you say gambling is a bad activity, many people depend on gambling for a living, just look at the history of gambling and its development of gambling to become one of the most profitable businesses in the world. what you have to do is how so that you can control yourself and not become a heavy addict to gambling, if you can do that then believe me you will not lose.

Whenever we are talking about addiction then it must be noted that not only in gambling we have this being effective, there are many areas where addiction is more worse than in gambling, i think gamblers should begin to learn how to hambke with caution, iy will be good enough if we do not deviate from the main importance of engaging in gambling which is pleasure satisfaction, every other things are additional benefits added.

Can you provide a legit source showing that kind of statistics?

Where do you get that 90% of people lead to gambling addiction?

If it's just a guess, I will disagree with your figures. Addiction is really a problem in gambling but I'm pretty sure that there's a big percentage of gamblers that are still responsible for their gambling activity while at the same time, also responsible for their gambling behavior.

Sorry but I disagree with you.  Gambling isn't an addiction.  It is an activity where a person play games to have a chance to win money[1].  Though the uncontrollable urge to gamble is called gambling disorder which is considered gambling addiction.  And gambling addiction doesn't lead people to greed, it leads people to lose their belongings because of the need to bet more in order to get the same thrill.[2]  Gambling isn't  a bad side, gambling addiction is.

At every level people have to be punished for greed. That can be any platform in the world. Most of the time it is common to say accept gambling as a part of recreation. Because nobody will indulge here when it is taken as entertainment. And if he is not greedy then he can enjoy gambling.

It is not even just about gambling, we are talking about people who wants to get super rich even in trading as well. I have seen so many people throw in hundreds of dollars to dozens of meme tokens in the past year, just because "if it reaches 1 dollar, then I won't have to work again". What they do not realize is that, it would be impossible for it to be a dollar and they are blind to reality .For example shiba, I have seen too many people think it could be 1 dollar, or 10 cents, or even 1 cent, which we all know is impossible becuase market cap of shiba would be higher than nasdaq and gold combined, hence won't happen. But they "believed" it could. Gamblers are the same way for sure, they do not see the house edge reality.

I would blame everything first and foremost on the person who is addicted, has all the responsibility and is to blame because a person knows that games of chance always have the advantage over the casino and if we start to see these things they are not to be forgotten, if a person wants to win it is because he is always looking for revenge against the casino, and that is a big mistake, usually when a person becomes this insistent in a casino, what he does is accelerate losing more, if a person has a losing streak the best thing is to cut that streak, and the easiest way is to not play anymore, at least wait a few hours and then go back and play a little, never looking for revenge.


The worst mistake of a player is to try to look for profits when he has had a big loss and this is a question of maturity, because it is known that he will not have profits, that is something that nobody understands but they insist and want to turn it positive, the best thing is to assume the loss and that's it, to come later to try to play vr that you can achieve, the best thing is to always allocate a balance to lose, never think that you will win, the premise of every game in gambling is to enjoy and have fun while maximum, I think that way you won't feel any pressure to win or recover, well at least that's what I think and it's going well for me.

This is what makes many gamblers end up getting addicted because they want to recover their losses and keep trying. They never think about how much money they will use to chase losses and how much they are prepared to lose. Even though, in the end, their losses are getting bigger, they still don't stop, making them even more addicted to gambling, and it is very difficult to stop it.

Normally, everyone wants to have money but must find a good way to earn or make money instead of gambling because that will not give them money and can even make them lose more money without realizing it. Indeed, some people can get money from gambling but the number is not as many as people who lose from gambling. This must make us think again about continuing our desires. It is better to look for sources of income from other places than to use gambling because the results are not worth what we will use.

This is a good point, for millions of years human lived in an environment in which everything was scarce, however in this age in which we live there is an environment in which even a person with a small salary can afford so much stuff that this creates a new risk, people now need to exercise moderation on what they do, because if they don't then they can easily develop issues that will be very difficult to overcome, and one of those issues is without a doubt gambling addiction.

Let us just agree to disagree, and I really agree with you that one of the triggers of gambling addiction is the desire to chase losses, and then they got lost (addicted) along the process.


There is a percentage to win but I think it isn't a good percentage because there are far more players who lost than won.  Even in history, we can find lots of people suffer losses in gambling while only a few had a good wins.
