In as much as most person see gambling as a bad habit, due to the fact that it is easily abused by some gamblers, gambling is a game of hope and anyone who understands this shouldn't have problems gambling with what they can afford to loss. There are several persons out there who have become rich just by gambling. The reasons most persons see gambling as a bad habit is as a result of the fact that bookies don't help in limiting gamblers participation in gambling even when gamblers are making irresponsible decisions. Gamble can actually tell if a person has a disciplined lifestyle, it's really easy to tell and know the ambition of gambler when it comes to wealth creation.

If you will only gamble with what you can afford and just play whenever you have extra, this game will truly give you fun and entertainment and not stress. But when you start chasing your losses, that's when this game will give you trouble that you don't want to deal with.

This is a very important information which you should not only quote without adding the link. Please add the link.

This is good. It is good to see this kind of events. Gambling is not something bad. It is the approach that some people use that makes it bad. If you are gambling just for fun or using little amount of money to look for little amount of money, gambling is fun. The problem can only start when you are using high amount of money to gamble because you are looking for high returns.

One of the main reason on why gambling is really that creating those kind of people is that because of the love of money and not really that seeing the real aspect when it comes into its existence. We do know that on the time or moment that you do have some high hopes on making money with it then this is where addiction starts to kick in on which on the moment or time that you do have this kind of approach then it will really be ending up on having this kind of problem. Having these kind of programs or whatever it will be then it is really that something thats a good gesture or something helpful to those who are currently facing up some gambling issues.
On the time or moment that you've seen yourself having these kind of impulsive approach towards gambling then reading up or seeing or attending into these kind of stuffs might really be that helpful.

I hope those reading this realize that gambling is not as bad as people think about it, but it is a space to connect and enjoy. The problem lies not in gambling itself but in the people who can’t control themselves. Those who can't handle it responsibly give gambling a bad name. But real gamblers know that gambling is a source of enjoyment for those who aren’t greedy for money. But those who are obsessed with winning often tarnish its image.

If we’re gamblers who can control ourselves and understand what we're doing, there shouldn’t be anything to criticize—only things to appreciate. What many don’t know is that gambling also supports charitable programs, benefiting countless people. Perhaps, it was very popular in our country.

The gambling and gamblers are not the bad one,some people who doesn’t consume alcohol or beer will consider the drinking is bad habit and injuries to health.Like wise the non gamblers think the gambling had bad habit.But it’s not the true,many gamblers loss the money in the gambling was true.But the gamblers who had good analytical skills in the gambling will make the big money in the gambling.But the gambling had risk of losing their money.But the gamblers who earned good money from the gambling will able to pay all the credits because of the gambling loss. The gamblers should understand the real game to make some money from the gambling site.

This is very important because those who see gambling as something dangerous want to completely write off gambling but there should be a balance here. We can recognize the risks of gambling and eliminate them by making sure we are responsible and accountable of our actions. This way we can gamble without putting ourselves or anyone into harm’s way.

Pretty an interesting initiative I have not seen anything like that before. It is important to inform the masses that gambling can be safe. I know people who are convinced that gambling = dependence and they do not understand that this entertainment is and nothing more.I also wanted to see more advertising companies about risks and the right approach to games, and need more educational material for beginner games.

True, by introducing what and how gambling really is, especially in terms of its risks, it is likely that the level of gamblers or people who are addicted will decrease because the idea will be able to reach more people, meaning that the further the advertising is spread, the more people will be saved from misunderstandings about what and how gambling really is.

Basically, every idea that leads to prevention to minimize all unwanted possibilities will always be a brilliant idea, especially if we talk about gambling which involves a very high potential risk, such as most cases that have occurred where many people lose their minds just because they see the opportunity to win in gambling, the last I just hope that with an idea like this, there will be more responsible gamblers who change their approach.

I'm not a skeptic here, but this hotline really help gamblers though? Are there numbers that can really proved that there are individuals reaching to them and then they gave a sound and good advice. And the people on the other line, are they really professional and have the experience to give this kind of advise to those gambler who are seeking help, and most likely what to quit gambling for good? I would love to know that the real data and statistics though, and then maybe we can have our own conclusions and we can say straight that it's really very helpful to have this kind of programs.

It's a hard pill for me to swallow when it concerns gambling hotlines, because unless it is for online gambling platforms, I wonder how much help the gambling hotlines for advice on an offline casino or gambling centres would do. Firstly, those who are prone gamblers and have unknowingly become addicted can try to delete the apps from their phones/device and also endeavor to stay away from those who cajole them to gamble on a sure odd.

Whether it is for entertainment or not, should be the reason that will be enough to make one come up with the mindset to reduce or re-engage gambling activities. They can also try to limit the budget expenses on gambling as much as they should try to opt out of gambling groups that share free betting tickets for trial.

I think anyone who has enough money is suitable for gambling because if you don't have money you will be gambling with loans. Whenever you lose, the thought of repaying the loan will arise and because of this bad reaction will take over the life. Prepare yourself by trying to understand the various harmful aspects of gambling addiction. Addicts often don't want to think about it or don't remember it. Instead of this habit, you have to prepare yourself by analyzing the harmful effects symptoms or the reasons behind it. The thing that is very important before treatment is to create awareness about it. That applies to the addict as well as to others in society.

Quote from: Fiatless on November 18, 2024, 06:03:13 AM

Some religious organizations see gambling as evil because they have failed to also consider some of the benefits of the activity.

I do not see anything wrong for the religions that consider gambling as something that is not good. It is religion. They will not just be the conclusion without no reason but it would be as a result of the bad situation that some people that they know has gone through like losing huge amount of money to gambling. It is people that should think about it themselves that they should use the money that they can afford to lose to gamble. No religion that supports gambling in the world despite that some like Christianity do not against it. I am not saying gambling is not good but religion is religion.

It’s fine to have your own beliefs but you shouldn’t impose this to anyone.

Let others have their own beliefs and be able to live the kind of life they want to live. I do know religious people who are respectful enough not to be condescending to anyone they encounter that is into gambling as long as they do not share the same religion. It will be a lot different if YOUR religion prohibits gambling and you don’t follow it. So, as long as you are not part of a community where this is prohibited why shouldn’t you gamble if you really want to? We just need to control ourselves and make smart decisions.

Every religion teaches good deeds that do not lead its followers astray on the wrong path, whether or not to carry them out depends on each individual, whatever your religion, you all have beliefs about which are good and which are bad,

OP: I really support this, where every person/beginner who gambles is taught to be a responsible gambler and is expected not to become addicted

Marking today as a safer gambling week or not isn't sufficient enough to reduce the ills associated with gambling because I believe some gamblers may not be learned enough to read or write fluently and only understand the numbers rather than any help that comes in any form to deter them from gambling.

Gambling may not be as bad as people think it to be, but due to religious beliefs, traditional and cultural reasons, some persons may see it as bad as smoking or drinking and label it an irresponsible venture because well, people only condemn what they do not understand. If people were to try to understand that gambling is for relaxation or for fun and one might get lucky from chance, then there wouldn't be so many addicts parading gambling halls as if it were a career of sort.

Everything in this life is like a two sided coin. Gambling is one of them. It has its pros and cons but its left for those who have access to it, to choose if they will use it for the right thing or the wrong thing. Of course not everyone will make good use of gambling platforms or get to gamble responsibly. So, others should not completely tag gambling to be an illegal, evil and irritating way of making money. People go as far as doing prostitution, robbery, cheating/lying and scamming to make money. But gambling has to do with an individual risk on our hard earned money. Only those who get to do stupid things in the name of getting money for gambling, that is the people that is abusing the system.

I noticed the tax payed by all these casinos to the government provides huge money for them. Gambling is one of the thriving sector after technologies.

So uhm, what do you actually do in this kind of week? I swear the metric they use (which is social media clicks) is really a kind of dumb way of analyzing how effective the week is. Sure if it was a popularity thing then hell yeah it's effective. But it's not, it's a week to supposedly help about stuff around gambling (which I still don't know what they plan to do). If it was postings and whatnot of gambling warnings and sharing of the companies that help addicts then I guess, but that's not something you do only when this kind of week rolls up. Groups who aim to help should do that kind of thing weekly no?

Though I guess the initiative helps. But again, said initiative should rather be a standard already.

The entire Safer Gambling Week campaign was constructed to spark a conversation and cut through the misunderstandings that often exist around betting. And we know this focussed promotion works.

The week is also intended to promote the various helplines and support charities that are available out there for those who are struggling. Whether that be the Gamcare helpline which offers 24/7 support or the National Gambling Treatment Service, or the huge number of expert treatment services, funded by voluntary donations from BGC members.

This project was initiated by the Betting and Gambling Council to spread awareness about gambling and promote sustainable and responsible gambling practices. This initiative lasts for a whole week and is focused in gaining as much attention as possible.

This is an interesting motivation that some are putting every necessary efforts altogether in seeing that others are also benefiting from the way they are gambling, some are actually giving it all it requires for us to have a better gambling experience, they are there to help, support, encourage and advise us on many ways we could actually be a successful gambling by playing safe, it will also helps the beginners in gambler to identify the way they should gamble and how they can manage the risk in doing so, having fun while gambling is never a crime, when we have an understanding of how this could be achieved without leaving behind any negative impact on us.

The thing with religion is that, religion helps us to be more aware of some negative things that eventually will affect the life of the one involved in them, and that is why most times some religion just banned an activities without any possible look at any other alternative usage of such a religion, and Muslim is one religion that have some negative look on gambling and most times the proceeds from gambling is considered to be haram in Muslim, so most Muslim countries around the world have strict laws against gambling and most times it's will be very ok if we stay off discoursing why and what should be expected from a religion.

gambling has alot of up and down and many who involved in it have run into some crisis that those leaders are trying to prevent it repeat, and at that a total banned of followers to gambling become the only option available.

While it is good publicity for gambling companies to promote these things, the reality is that they are trying to squeeze every player all the time in order to extract the highest value out of them. It does give the industry a little bit of cover when the government tries to crack down or there is a bit of public backlash, because they can sometimes become a target of the week for the media. While it is better than nothing and may have helped a few people, it is all a facade. The amount spent on this service in the form of donations is likely equivalent to a rounding error, think 0.02% of all of there profits each year, however it is better than some countries get when it comes to protecting gamblers so I guess we should be grateful.

The more casinos are becoming popular every day by day, it's also good that we are seeing more awareness programs and help lines for those who suffer from gambling addiction and stress.

This program might not completely eliminate addiction in people's minds, but it will help to reduce it and retrace the wrong step some people have taken in gambling. Gambling addiction is far more prevalent than just in the casino. The majority of the people that I know suffer from gambling addiction have one problem or the other that they face in reality.

And people will only learn their lessons when they already reached their limits and be in a tight position owed to his actions. This activity is not bad up until the player is going outside his allocated funds and resorting to other actions like borrowing money or selling family's properties just to finance his games. Also, you won't experience all the things that life can offer if you won't try things that you want to. And also, hard to give advice to anyone if you have no first-hand experience, it is like saying in empty words.

The reality most gamblers gambles recklessly, these days gambling is taken as a means of taking risks to get rich, gamblers betting what they can't afford to loose and even with that, wining or losing never gives satisfaction... it never satisfies its just how human are programmed and yes most people only realise they are not doing it the right way whenever they start going outside allocation funds and sorts, by then it's too late to curb (for most people) they just continue with the flow.
