It's exiting at the start but it gets boring once you get middle point. That's when it becomes a financial havoc because the goal changes and it's to make profit than to just play the game and I think that's when chaos will happen. We chase losses or we get greedy and won't stop and that's when addiction will probably start to happen.
We cannot mess around with gambling especially with casino games because there is a house edge that will stop us from winning no matter what.

Gambling can serve as the two things that you mentioned, gambling has cause financial havoc individuals and family, some people has being indebted because of gambling, gambling has made people to commit suicide because of debt tha they can not pay back as a result of gambling, there are addicts today that can not stay of gambling just because they have finance to pay gambling always, I think gambling has done more harm than good to humans, no doubt many people has benefited little in gambling but generally gambling has not help people much in financial gains, gambling to me about predicting and staking your money to see if your bat can come as you expect it, nothing else.

Gambling could be both a trap and for fun the only downside is that we fall for it seriously and that is where greed come in that might also lead us being broke. One thing is that we keep on doing this over and over again in the hope of winning huge amount of money which for me drives away the essense of playing it just for fun.
Doing it over and over is the reason that gambling is addictive because you will hardly see a newbie who would play and lose the first time without trying the second time and when you try the third, you are now obviously leaving out the perceived fun to chasing to recover your loses. Being addictive starts from newbies and they mature into the system of gambling and chasing back profit. That is the downside actually because you keep going back to what breaks you

It is necessary to have control when involved in gambling so that it will not end up much worse when involved in it. Everyone has a different understanding of involvement in gambling, but we lose control because it is caused by greed to win big. When we are chasing a big win and we never get it, it will cause problems that have much worse consequences for gambling.The essence of gambling for someone who is just having fun will be much more self-controlled and usually this type of person will not bet larger amounts because they are just to enjoy not chase big wins every time they are involved in gambling.
When someone can have fun in gambling while he can controls himself, he will see that gambling is just a fun activity by playing many gambling games. He will not try to use much time to playing gambling because he knows that can makes him forget to stops playing gambling. He will always try to control his minds and not becomes greedy when he can wins instead will stops playing gambling immediately.

Gambling has become a trap for people who come to gambling for fun. They continue to gamble without stopping and do not realize that gambling is just entertainment. They think they can make money from gambling when they could lose all their money without realizing it.Greed will arise when they can win some money. And instead of stopping gambling, they continue gambling because they continue to hope to win. They will not always be able to win because gambling is not a place to make money.
They had better realize this immediately because otherwise, they would lose even more money. They will also find it difficult to recover their losses so there is no way for them to make money. Even though some people can win a lot of money, that doesn't guarantee that other people can also make money.

Now while some folks would argue that gambling is fanfare, I believe there is a line to this and it gets to a point where we could wreak ourselves if you are not careful, no one needed to tell me, that fellow was grieved by his losses which was not supposed to be so if we are just having fun.
Actually it do happen alot. You know gambling is fun but when there Is much more loses than win people becomes grieved, if you are gambling with your friend and you keep on losing and get tops the winning continuously without loss you as a human being will feel his cheating on you or he is not anyway better than you. Afterall you boths are human and don't see reasons to why he beets you more often than you beating him in the game. Definitely in any constant wining there is a line in-between. Whenever the line is crossed it's no longer a fun anymore because you are dealing with human being.

Lol I think gambling to most people is meant to be a way to make money, and that to me is there in why people tend to lose so much money. I love to gamble, I do all the time, but I do in a way that never puts me in any sort of financial situation that I don't feel comfortable being in. I know that the likelihood of me coming out on top every year is slim. Though the way I bet, responsibly, I do come out a little on top most years, but just enough to make sure its not wrecking "financial havoc" on my life. I certainly feel for those that are addicted.

Gambling has always been both. It is of course a source of entertainment and fanfare. Gambling is fun. It is a great leisure or relaxing activity. But it also has a bad side. It can't be done beyond moderation. Other than losing more money than intended, it can also eat your entire time up. It can even destroy you and your family. So gambling can be good but it is also a worse kind of evil if done in addiction.
I think it helps if we gamble with a fixed amount of money and time. That would help us draw the line between fanfare and financial havoc.

Made sense. Though, everything that is out of moderation will bring you no good and gamble is no exception. Therefore, gambling is kinda both a fun and relaxing activity to end your weekend or your day at work or it could wreck havoc in your financially status or worse it could wreck your family. A person could only end up between these 2 outcome, of course that depends on how responsible, educated, and dedicated a person is with his family and his financial health.
Those who can bear the urges of gambling is the one who are actually enjoying and having fun and the rest are just hungry to get a huge win that would most of the time end up the other way around.

How can one draw a line between having fun and getting addicted since they occurr in the same process?
Would education on gambling side effect help some people nor to get too engaged in it despite the thrilling experience it can offer?
What is your personal view on this[/b]
In my opinion, distinguishing between gambling for fun and gambling as an addiction means that we must be able to apply a healthy mindset, namely by limiting the betting budget, limiting the time when we should gamble and not expecting too much to win there because gambling is unpredictable and only relies on luck. just there.
And it is clear that the effect is extraordinary if we forget and lose the application of self-control because it is certain that the effect will be detrimental to ourselves and change the fate of our lives much worse and suffer because the casino effect is very high risk so we should be aware that to a greater or lesser extent we will experienced it too.

The idea of personal responsibility has always been the key to evade from addiction but her is the big question.
How can one draw a line between having fun and getting addicted since they occurr in the same process?
by implementing rules themselves, having rules to follow when gambling can make you aware of what you do and in doing so see if there is behavioural change in yourself.How can one draw a line between having fun and getting addicted since they occurr in the same process?
Would education on gambling side effect help some people nor to get too engaged in it despite the thrilling experience it can offer?
What is your personal view on this
yes, being aware of the possible side effects of gambling helps people not to engage too much in gambling despite the thrill it can offer. that being said, there is still the possibility of people getting addicted despite knowing the possible side effects of gambling and this is why implementing rules for yourself when gambling is important, it acts as a layer of "protection" for you.

Before you access any gambling site, you should already know your boundaries and limits. Though it is easy to forget what you promised to yourself, but you can always remind yourself why you are exploring the world of gambling, your financial capabilities and why you are indulging yourself in this addictive activity?
It can be fun and entertaining if you are not compromising your financials. But if you still continue to play despite of financial hurdles, that's when you will start having problems owed to gambling. Gambling itself is not harmful, but it is the person's behaviour that it can make it harmful to him.
The best gambling advice I have ever heard is don't go into debt to gamble, it will lead someone to the brink of ruin and frustration. It's true, gambling will be fun if we know the limits, adjust to the finances we have budgeted.

This all depends on ourselves in viewing and understanding gambling. With all the risks and negative impacts of gambling, for me gambling is a hobby and fun. However, I have to pay a high price to be able to carry out this hobby and enjoy it, and what I have experienced in gambling, the possibility of losing is always greater than winning, but I consider the losses I experience to be a fair price, which I have to pay to get that pleasure. As long as we gamble with an amount of money that we are ready to lose and ready to lose. I don't think gambling will cause serious financial problems. However, when we consider that gambling is nothing more than just a hobby and fun, then stick to that understanding, don't let it be that just because of the winnings you get, you have a different opinion about gambling and say that it is not only about fun but also about making a profit. This understanding will only make you even crazier about gambling, and lose a lot of money and suffer a lot of losses from gambling.
Gambling, done right, can be a fun way to pass the time. The best folks, real winners, understand its entertainment, you pay for the thrill. But here's the thing, and a lot of people dont get this – the human brain is tricky. It'll find ways to justify anything, even stuff that hurts you down the line. You're on track now, taking losses in stride, thats the right mindset. But even the smartest guys can get caught up.I know a thing or two about psychology. Once you start thinking about gambling as a way to make money, not just fun... thats where things get dangerous. Suddenly, those losses sting more. You bet bigger to make it back. You get in too deep. The point is, be careful. Be the smartest guy in the room, dont let yourself get fooled by your own brain.
Gambling is something that should really be just that for fun but since human beings are greedy then this is what pushes them to play with having that kind of different approach
on which they've been making themselves that been expecting that they could really be able to make themselves winner all the time on which its really something a very wrong
kind of thinking.

How to draw a line? The best way to do it is not to get drunk. You talk a lot about drinks and how much they cost. Don't drink when you gamble. Order drinks with no alcohol, like juice or cola.
Bet money that don't mean a lot to you. Players who don't have much and bet high are the first to get addicted and fall into those traps where they try to get even and lose even more.
Drinking alcohol and gambling at the same time should be discouraged. This is because you might get drunk unknown to you due to anxiety of winning or losing which will make you loss all your bankroll to alcohol and gamble, because you are been controlled by alcohol. Gambling takes money from us, and it is very risky to gamble with the intention of winning. Alcohol also takes money from us, and when it is taken excessively, it will control and mess you up. Joining these two vices together is a great danger to one's bankroll. This is why one need to gamble responsible and only use the amount of money that you can afford to lose for gambling, and also drink responsible when gambling. Bet money that don't mean a lot to you. Players who don't have much and bet high are the first to get addicted and fall into those traps where they try to get even and lose even more.

There would really be only two possible things on which you could treat gambling on;1. For fun
2. For money/getting rich
If you are going with that #1 then no matter what you do then there's no way that gambling could wreck you up mainly in finances. You had made out yourself that wary about the risk.
With having that kind of sense of responsibility then it would really be just that normal that you would really be able to adjust.
If you are going on #2 then this is where most gamblers do really messed up their lives. Why? Once you do put up into your mind that gambling could really that make you rich
then this is the time that you would really be making up yourself that desperate. Why? you would really be trying out to make those things happen even if it means
that you would really be spending up tons of money or simply using your life savings with it, until you would realize that everything is gone.
