Topic: [What IF] Part 1 - page 3. (Read 505 times)
It's hard for gambling not to exist its part of our nature, just let us think that you are in a country where gambling is heavily restricted online and offline if that is the case I will end up just playing basketball, and playing chess, these two offer excitement and relieve from your days work and I will just be trading although it's still a gambling because of the high risk.
^ Quite hard to answer huh, gambling has existed even people before didn't discover fiat money. Even did not have a buying option and we are in a barter system gambling was already there. What if gambling doesn't exist? Also, sports and games did not exist that possible on having matches and we can have odds per match. Nevertheless, gambling has start in 3000 BC ago and until now there is evolution of those games that we can make odds. Probably you are curious when gambling start and until now it has existed. https://www.gambling.net/history/
Yeah great opinion mate until the sport are exist gambling are continue to exist, but of course if gambling doesn't exist? It actually obvious if gambling doesn't exist people force to stop playing gambling specially if the government give high punishment if the gambling is banned around the world.
Oh hello, we already know that Gambling existed for a very long time. Just what if, it didn't exist? Do we really expect all of these companies to be working on trading platforms? Mining? Video Hosting? Etc... Do we really intend to be good citizens if this were the fact on our life?
Don't get me wrong buddy, this is just another What If... We already know that Gambling already helped countless of people worldwide. And this might be impossible to be gone, so let's just start on this what if

I'm gambling just to be entertained I am not really after profit, so maybe to be entertained I will be playing online games just like all the kids I'm seeing in an internet cafes or maybe I just spend my time watching movies but, the fun and excitement is not as good when you're playing games and betting, games are skilled base and predictable and movies have the same theme, not the kind that gambling can give you.
For me, maybe I'm really into trading and my life is lonely for sure because sometimes I do gambling to be entertained or sometimes when I am bored. Small amount of funds only when I am gambling to be entertained. But I think overall on my gambling activities I lost too much, in crypto or non-crypto.
Crimes will be also lessen. Because I believe that there are also lot of crime involvement of gambling, like kidnap for ransom for those big time gamblers.

People need some or the other kind of entertainment and during ancient times when there is no electricity how do you think people spent their free time, they will gamble or do some or the other activities which were viable thousands of years ago and it is being carried over to the new generation. If you are going to think about what if, what if electricity was not invented during our period none of them would be possible

This topic sounds like not having any in-depth contribution to gambling industry nor for a gambler but will definitely turn a spam magnet. Most probably might get deleted by mods. I am sorry to mention this.
If you think this thread is spam-magnet-for-signature-campaign just report it to moderator right now. AFAIK this thread has never been created before and i just seeing this now. Why don't you report other thread which have more than 5 pages of replies or 500 comments already? @OP, if gambling wasn't ever introduced/existed, people would losing one of their funny thing. (Some people only gambling for fun only)
Me personally? I'd be sad because I wouldn't be in a campaign promoting a casino 
I don't know what I'd be doing. Probably browsing this forum anyway just not being paid for it. I'm not sitting and gambling all day so if there was no gambling at all it wouldn't change my life at all. I also don't have and never had an addiction so my life would remain the same but a lot of people would be sad not having the ability to drop off some stress through gambling.

If gambling does not exist then humans will live their lives as usual, right. because of the presence or absence of gambling, everyone who gambles or not, at least will feel if we and they have lived life as usual like working to get money etc. And one more thing, indeed, gambling has helped many people in the world, but gambling has also made many people frustrated because of the loss.
For me, gambling is something that you put anything into it, it will be at risk. Our lives are full of risks every single day so if gambling is not really a thing, let's say it does not exist. I guess we will be living in a world full of carefree people. Since we are not really thinking that something is at risk, that there is no gamble in life, there will be a lot of happy-go-lucky type of person in this world. Just imagine how bad that is. It might look like a fairy-tale world with no worries at all and we all know that it is impossible to happen in our world.
If gambling did not exist, I might be playing video games through play station or in an arcade. Even I am in my late 40’s I still find enjoyment in playing video games and arcade. Its a good excuse for me to bring my kids to the nearest arcade and be updated with the latest games in play station.
I am sorry to say, but this question sounds a bit dimwitted.
Its rather pointless of you can't find any point about this thread of mine. Also I suggest to drink a bottle of alcohol before you read and participate here again.And here back at you again...
I am sorry to say, but this answer will gonna sound a bit dimwitted. And also it doesn't make sense,...for you don't have to participate on a certain topic that doesn't have to do with you. Or how should I put it, If you don't get it, just forget about it.
Re-read is an option. How can anybody here understand the OP and not you my friend? You're seriously killing me with laughter. I understand not all of us a has a CS, and this is what it makes the topic more interesting.
As if gambling as corrupted us all!
Open your eyes and see.Why would non existence of gambling make us a good citizen?
Let's have a drink (Beer), and I will tell you, it may be a long story to tell so I might pass a separate bill on you for the beer... Before that I will leave your own words for this question.
Usually there are more losers than winners in a general casino.
That's cute. I may give everyone else another what if because of this thread. 😘

An interesting what if question, the first question that comes to my mind is since gambling is so old what it would be needed for it to not exist on the first place? And that will require that every human had a very sophisticated mind that could understand probabilities and mathematics with ease to the point that every gambling game was never even tried as they recognized it was a losing proposition, so what I would be doing in that case? I will probably be in another galaxy pondering about the mysteries of the universe. Don't get me wrong buddy, this is just another What If...

I am sorry to say, but this question sounds a bit dimwitted. Kinda sounds like you are saying gambling is everything. How do you relate gambling with trading platforms, mining, video hosting?

Gambling helped countless people according to you, but you are forgetting about those countless people that have lost everything. Usually there are more losers than winners in a general casino.
I'd probably be gaming, watching more television and shows than I already do or something else that costs me money in exchange for entertainment, similar to how gambling works. I know plenty of responsible gamblers (I consider myself one of them) that I would call 'good' citizens as well; it's really up to your own opinion in the end, but there are plenty of people that don't irresponsibly gamble all of their money away in this world. I don't spend a large amount of my free time gambling, either, so I imagine my life really wouldn't change much at all.
As for any people majorly 'helped' by gambling, the only people really winning from gambling are the casino operators and the extremely lucky few who win massive jackpots. I don't otherwise see how gambling's helped 'countless' people at all.

Gambling is and has always been for me a form of entertainment. Unfortunately there are some people who got addiction to it and lost their lives gambling themselves away.. For them it would be a life-changer if gambling didn't exist, but probably they would have found another addiction like shopping, video games, drugs, alcohol or who knows what else. The casino owners are most often than not business people who would just change to another industry in order to make money.
Gambling is not even a small part of my life. I'm playing here and there with very tiny amounts when I'm bored. But if gambling would disappear right now, it wouldn't affect me at all.

If there is no gambling exists then people may find a way to spend their money on other way,it won't change any other thing in humanity,IMO.
I am not sure gambling helped countless people? Because people who lost their life in gambling versus won in it will be 99.9:0.1
I agree, life without gambling is far better considering those people who stuck with this activities and get addicted. People though have it's own viewsI am not sure gambling helped countless people? Because people who lost their life in gambling versus won in it will be 99.9:0.1
regarding to this matter, but likewise, without gambling life still exist maybe in some other forms where people can take advantage and grab opportunities to have a better life. Conditionally not with easy access to richness but working hard to attained your dreams.
Well, IF... gambling does not exist we are the same as what we are. Life must go on even without gambling and live and continue as good people. There are many businesses aside from gambling where to spend your money just like trading and selling goods. Indeed, we have nothing to do since gambling was there and discover earlier decades passed. The reason why gambling until today has existed because people think it will help them and might alternate to their source of income.
I don't count on gambling as income.. I currently run a small business in my city, and gambling is only my side income, if my mood is good I will gamble, so I don't feel lost even though gambling never existed.
I will work according to my education and expertise in a company or in a government office. This proves that without gambling people will know how hard it is to get money with a lot of real work.
It is undeniable that gambling is able to make someone become very rich in a short time, but make someone fall into poverty very short too. the conclusion I got from what you wrote now, gambling is your source of income. I admit.. you are very brave to take risks. If there is no gambling exists then people may find a way to spend their money on other way,it won't change any other thing in humanity,IMO.
Very good, people will spend their money on holidays or shopping "IF" there is no gambling in this world.

Gambling really doesn't help a lot of people, it's just that people like gambling. With the aim of entertaining yourself, not helping financially. Maybe it helps people who need entertainment, so they play gambling.

Do we really intend to be good citizens if this were the fact on our life?
Why do you think gambling made us all bad people?? Being good or bad doesn't really depend on anyone's gambling exposure! So make sure you don't offend people by your comments!
If gambling never existed, we all would have done something else for sure! But we are good people now and we will continue to be good people even if gambling exists worldwide!
