Everyday my friend gambles with his money as same with his life and he always gambling throwing away his money for nothing but losing and the worth part of it is he owes me money  >:( >:(

In your friends case, no gambling is not worth playing, and it sounds like an addiction so he should seek help for his addiction; not paying you back is a problem. However, gambling can be worth playing for fun and recreation, provided you have self control and set your limits.

That's a messed up bro. Your friend shouldn't be borrowing money and not paying it becase he lost it in gambling. He should not borrow just to gamble with it. You should advice your friend to think about what he is doing.

that's what we called addiction bro you must talk to him directly to stop this he needs some help because if he keep losing and using other else money the next thing that he would do is to steal something sold it to have money to gamble.

Really messed up bro >.< i did i really did  :-\  but he said to me that if he wins he will give me 50% of his winning money and he will also treat me to a fast food all i can eat.. so i trust him  :( :( what should i do?

Gambling is worth playing if you just do it to relieve stress and you can get out of the table without having any debts from someone. If you can control yourself, there's no doubt that you are hurting/affecting others with your gambling. In the case of your friend, you should talk to him. It's not worth it anymore, he's in negative profit and I think it's already bad. He might be thinking that gambling will be his way to get out of debt, but it's not. After all, gambling is the reason why he got in a debt.

You should let them borrow money from you. Once they loss, thats a problem. Gambler is always a gambler. But as long as they know their responsibilties its okay to lend them money.  But most of people who play gambling are not recover their lost and the worst part they have already owed money and loss it.

then you have to stop provide loans to him because if he always do this gamble with borrow money i'm pretty sure that he won't pay back his loans any longer because your friend has become an addicted and in his mind always want to gamble everyday such as you said

As a friend you should scold your friend to stop wasting his money if he keeps losing in gambling and also don't lend him your own money. Do you think there's a guarantee that he will pay you back? Never ever lend to someone if he will gamble it. For me, gambling is a worth playing when you have the guts to risk your money for a big win.

Gambling is made for fun and entertainment purpose, when you gamble by using someone else money taht is not right anymore, i think you should advise your friend about his gambling addiction,  told her to quit or if you want soft approach ask him to do new activity and when you have the right time told him to stop gambling because its going to ruin his life

Your friend putting himslef in worse situation in future when he will have nothing to do, than he will start thinking gambling is not worth playing, why you are still giving loans to him when you know that he has no luck, in future he will not be able to return to this amount.

Barrowing money for gambling is very bad and since he have many debts for it why you let him lend your money? While you know that he gonna use it to his bad tantrums and it gonna slowly wreck him, and it is like you help him to have money and continue to play with it instead you advice him that he needs to stop since he was will not earning with it. So better for now tell your friend to stop so he can be save from addiction and that is very worse.

doing gambling was is well worth. we just have to keep our emotional state. your friends to play and spend a lot of money because he can not be emotional. for playing gambling requires great patience to be able to win.

So what do you want here, a shoulder to cry on about your gambling-addled friend (it's probably you)?  What is it you want out of this thread? 

Tell your friend to go fuck himself and go find yourself a girlfriend.   Get out of your stinky, bug-infested apartment and get some fresh Pakistani air.  You'll feel better.

Next time what you need to do is don't ever lend money to your friend because he will just feed it on his addictions. Say to your friend to stop gambling if he couldnt even afford the money in the first place.

not worth but this is addiction. Like this person think always like that " maybe one day ı will won big price " . But I never see winner person like that For example "ME"

I would say gambling to those who can manage it worth it, I.e those who gamble what they can afford to lose but this is clearly not the case of your friend as he is not managing is own gambling case very well and what I can observe is that what keeps him going is revenge as this has also been affecting his judgement so he keeps losing.., my opinion though...

Gambling should only be treated as entertainment, doing for strict profit is not a good thing to get into, especially if you're betting your entire wage away. Good way to get yourself in some major trouble.

Need to set loss and win limits, it's the only way to attempt to beat it-- but still expect to lose, because it's all luck in the end.

I don't think gambling can be worth playing in that case when any person got addicted so badly, so how can anybody say this is good decision to play with others amount, after losing on online casino surely will put into very bad situation, how that person will play his debt when he losing consistently.

Why do you lend him money for gambling in the first place? Most likely your friend has a gambling addiction and that's a serious problem which ought to be taken care of.

You should not encourage him by giving him money as loan. This is common thing in gamblers whenever they get money they go straight to gamble to recover all previous losses. If you really want to make something good to your friend just help me come out of this addiction by saying him no more money for gambling. You can keep him busy in other more interesting things too. Gambling really doesn't worth as this is waste of money and time.

Agree with Betwrong, if you knew that your friend will just use the money to gamble, you should not lend him. It's just like you tolerate what he's doing instead of helping him in taking control of his self. Good luck to you and to your friend. Hope that you can help him manage his self and learn to gamble moderately because it seems that he's already addicted.

That is the most common problem with all gamblers even after they lose some money in gambling they won't learn lesson because as you said either they want to win big money without doing hard work or at least they will try to recover back their lost money. Both are very dangerous things to do in gambling. Don't ever gamble to become rich.

Some of my thoughts:

- If you know that your friend is addicted gambler then why you lend him money in the first place?
- If he lost all money before what are the odds of him winning big this time? Rather slim, I guess.
- If you value your friendship then DON'T lend money to fuel your friend's addiction any more, instead educate him.

Also read this thread (and/or show this to your friend): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1475232.msg14872353#msg14872353 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1475232.msg14872353#msg14872353)

It is better if you don't try because it is provoker since human beings are adventurist. In any case one winning or loosing at very start you will find need to play more. If you win you automatically will see this easy way of making money by considering yourself lucky. If you loose by watching winners you will have impression to recover sometimes soon. At least I will not endorse neither will recommend to any new person to try gambling because this does not worth at all. This is what happening with your friend he is accepting the reality and loosing more.

and the worst part of it is he owes me money at first you should blame yourself when you borrow someone money to gamble may be he promised you some interest on your funds when he is paying back, if that is the case you have also gambled your money.
It depends on your emotions because it helps some people to maintain their health.

That's not healthy anymore, if he owe you money for his gambling fund... I think he needs help now, try to tell him to stop gambling, but don't ask him immediately to pay his debt to you, that would just make him gamble more to pay you or if not, he would just resort to borrowing money to other to pay you... Just make things simple easy and won't hurt his pride.. Gambling is worth playing if you are not playing too much...

   Simple question for simple answer, gambling is worth playing if you win. If you don't win then is not worth it. If you enjoy in playing games for money, then it worth for you and anyone else. Cause winning or losing is the same, you play cause you love to play, spending money on something you love is good thing in my opinion. Is it better to love woman and spend money on here, or to love gambling and spend money in casino I don't know. I guess different people different tastes, everyone should do what they love to do.

I think it is not something the correct answer. Because it signifies that you just want to get something good and unwilling to accept anything that bad. It is indeed true, but we should also be ready in knowing something bad at the time of doing so (gambling). Because not all we want always manifest with ease and we must work hard in realizing it with hard work

Your friend is addicted to gambling very badly, he should try getting help with that problem. Gambling is never worth it. You could play for 1 $ every once in a while but I do not think you should gamble like your friend does. Either play small or with faucet sites if you want to bet with Bitcoin or do not start gambling in any way to prevent getting too much addicted to gambling.

Actually it is worth for some time, just relieve some stress on it might be a good thing but if your friend already owes you money, he is already addicted and can't get away from gambling anymore. Everyone sure need to get some profit though but to lend some money from other people with some interest in it i dont think that is still worth to play since you play for covering your owes not to get some profit for yourselves

This is connected to the fact you being able to profit from your gambling choises, otherwise if you are loosing i doubt you will say its worthing play and loose all the coins. I had tryed to gamble and i lost 10k dogecoins, not a big issue but its a big loss.

Well as long as he is happy gambling it's still worth it. Since it's one of the main reason of gambling. But if he is being addicted to gambling and his already risking his food allowance just to gamble then its wrong. You just have to suggest him or influence to something like games, sports, etc.,

i dont think that it is worth playing right now, in my opinion people lose a lot of money on it and it is bad

If thats the case he cannot even make money even for sometime then gambling is not worth playing for him. I dont know if you got a profit on that coz where can your friend get a money to pay you if hes lossing. imo you loss as well.

I guess it is one of the effects of gambling, maybe your friend spring hooked in gambling, even he would always use the money and the time to play it. Well, I think gambling is not eligible to be played in some countries, because so many of the negative effects that could occur if a lot of people gambling in general

I think that's not good. That's more like an addiction. He is almost showing how those addicts act, probably  next thing that he will do is he will pawn his gadgets or sell it just to use the money for his gambling habit. You've mention that he already owe you a money, I think, next time he ask another one, do not hesitate to refuse. That's not worth it anymore to play gambling if he is acting that way.  :)

Since gambling is risky game, it's not worth to play when you have limited fund.
The story will be different if you already decide to not gamble more than you can afford to loss

how gambling could be worth, while your friend are always throwing money and can even spend your money because too often making loan.

if your friend always make a profit, yes it could be a worth.

Gambling is definitely not a good idea if you don't have any money you are willing to lpse. I usually play with faucet earnings so I have nothing to lose besides the time spent collecting from the faucets. Gambling is not for making money but mainly to have fun.

Lol why do you lend him the money(you're making him gamble more), it's not worth it for your friend as he loses and borrows money. why doesn't he gambles just for fun with small amount of bankroll?

Well, if you have much money, it's really worth to gamble, because you can easily get profit with big bankroll. It's a pity that happen to your friends, i think he's addicted.

     Yup. Let's just say that, in your friend's perspective, it is worth it! Because he's addicted. While for you, it's not. You're not even playing and you're already losing money. People usually gamble to relieve stress, for entertainment, thrills, out of curiosity, to make money, etc. It's a good way to enjoy yourself, but, also a very risky thing to try, because you can get hooked and loose your ability to stop. So, help your friend out, don't lend him money for gambling. If he wants to make money out of gambling, it would be better to invest in a gambling site instead of playing.

Yup if he stops to give money to his friend, Then he will automatically stop playing. This will help both of them. And losing money in gambling and also continue to play gambling is not a good method. This will make you both poor in one day. But I have one question why you lend him money? What are you expecting from him?

In this kind of scenario, I think gambling is not worth playing.  Reason is that, not only he is harming himself by spending all his money and gambling, he is also making other uncomfortable.  He can't control himself to the point of using others money to satisfy his vices.  This should be controlled or else it will get worst and may lead to gambling addiction.

Gambling is never worth it, especially if the purpose of playing to find the main income, because gambling is too much to lose.

In my view, Gambling is not made for everyone, everyone can play it but not win it, because when ever we talk about gambling, than we all are agree in it, that gambling is a risky game, and it is depend on your luck, if you lucky person than definitely you will win it, but if you lose so don't continue it in that time leave it, and always remember don't play gambling if you can't afford it. I am happy with gambling, because i always play for fun and time passing even i lose my money. 

i think you should stop giving him your money because if its just for gambling then you've a big trouble, your money would not back, your relationships with your friends will be bad and the worst is you will get stress by yourself. no matter what he's reason to borrows your money, you just said no, while i know if our friends borrows money, its really hard to say no, but its just for your good. but its all up to you bro.

 Its just a waste of time in the end, nobody made profit with gambling. Everyone who won something, they returned that in casino and plus something extra. Its always like that with most of the players, they are always in little minus after 10 years of playing, and others just constantly lose. There is no winners in this game, at least not on the long term.

 People who won some big prizes spent that money pretty fast, point is that even if someone win easy come easy go, simply people who earn that money fast, they spent it very fast.

Your friend must know how to control bro...and don't let him borrow just for gambling.

i think you should stop him, its not good for you and its not good for your friends, your friends can be categorized as addictive gambler, if this not cure immediately the gambler will get deeper and deeper into addiction and at last he would sacrifice himself to gambling and as a friend the best thing is keep giving him advice and support so he can stop gambling

you should never lend money to a gambler especially if he is a degenerate gambler, i have too lost money this way. and that is why you see people asking for reason in the lending board and are hesitant to lend bitcoin to those who want to gamble with their bitcoin.

Well it is not really a good attitude if you are going to borrow just for the sake of gambling and don't let them to borrow your money if that's the reason.

Gambling is not going to be worth playing if that is going to happen. If the capital they are going to use for gambling did came from borrowing.

every friend think that they are pro on the work they are working they act as a professor on that same topic.. but after he fails then he say o was good but this time the luck was with other.....so its all about the friendship and trust yarrr :o :o ;) ;)

Hello
Your friend seems to be having gambling addiction. Make sure he seeks professional help. I hope his condition is not serious. Also stop lending him your money. No one can make a profit by gambling - its true because the House has an edge over you.It is designed to make you feel that you are winning but actually you will suddenly lose in the long run

Well, it was not worth it, especially for people who are easily discouraged. if you are very confident of winning gambling and get a great prize worth a try maybe you, but there will be a very big risk that await if you're gambling. in fact it's feasible or not depends on the person who saw that game, because a lot of people who see gambling as a good pastime

Exactly, don't gamble if you think that gambling is not worth playing and always remember that it is created for entertainment. So, it just becomes worth playing if you are enjoying it. And you have good attitude as you gamble for sure you know your limitations and the consequences that you are going to get with gambling.

There are professional gamblers making insanes ammounts of money, thats why casinos of bitcoin and betting houses keep open all days, the fact people get the ilusion they can be like those professional and can win more then loose. I had made some sport bets recently but the result turned into some loss, there is a hard way to get profit.

Your friend really should pay you back before even thinking of spending money on gambling or anything else. It is only right to settle your dues as swiftly as can be. You might want to help your friend and show him the error of his ways.

Just don'lend him some money . Your friends should pays you before you lend him! haha just give a little amount from the money you lend so that you have a profit from it.

It is a pretty good step, when we get someone or friends who want to borrow money because the want to do gambling. Certainly 90% of the money is not coming back, because I'm sure that person would suffer a defeat for all the money he borrowed. Indeed this is not entirely true, but I am sure this will surely happen to those who have a very big ambition but do not have a plan or a good strategy

Your friend is addicted and if he continues he will lose everything and his life will be ruined,do everything you can to help him before it's too late.
But not everyone is like him there are people who earn a lot from gambling and make a living from it,obviously it is worth for them.

It's not worthy, if gambling have negative affects too much on other parts of life. This way of gambling leads to a certain addiction. I don't think its smart you to give him money for gambling, you are helping him to fall in addiction even more. In one moment he will not have money for himself, for returning, and that will make him desperate, who knows what he can do to try to save himself from that problem.
Be a friend and help him to realize what is he doing, and if he doesn't stop soon bigger problems will wait for him in the future.

When you gamble should already know are going to spend money for nothing but the case of your friend to borrow money for gamble is not a good thing.

It is worth if you have enough spare of money and spare time to play, if you dont have any spare money and time better dont play it because it will just wasting your time if you lose it. May be you do have chance to win but mostly if you play with a rush you will lose it for sure and that makes your time is not worth to spend with

yes that is going to be worth it if you are going to play gambling if you are spare money and spare time only. But if you are going to put your full focus with gambling then that is going to be not worth it at all. Maybe you just tend to think that you are going to earn with gambling if that comes to your mind you must check yourself.

Many people tell you here to not lend money to him and maybe they are right but think for a moment if he becomes lucky one day and hit the jackpot. For sure in this moment he will give you a nice part of money from the jackpot as you are his friend plus you have helped him almost always by lending money to him. And remember that gamblers are generous people by nature especially the ones who keeps playing everyday in hope to get something out of it.

It is worthy mentioning that people enjoy gambling for a whole host of different reasons. It's up for debate which of these reasons should be considered the most important pros. Gambling isn't just about the money though. Many people gamble primarily because they simply enjoy it. It's a great form of entertainment, and it can be a lot of fun. On the basis of pure excitement, there are few pastimes that compare in my opinion. It's fair to say that it wouldn't be as exciting if it wasn't for the fact that there's real money at stake, but that doesn't mean that everyone views the money as the most important factor.

Well it is very hard if you are going to hope that your friend is going to become lucky and going to win the jackpot. It is better if you are going to play your money by yourself and you don't have to lend him if you are just hoping for him to win too. Why not try to do it yourself and if ever you are going to lose you are going to blame yourself.

Worth playing for what ? Profit ? Fun ? A bit of both ? If you enjoying yourself and not going broke then go for it. Its worth doing what makes you happy. As with everything just use caution.

it is as long as you know your limits and restrictions. gambling really is a fun and exciting form of entertainment it's just that when people get addicted to it that problems happen. as long as you know when to stop then go ahead it is worth playing

yeah, gambling will always make you lose all your money so it is better not to spend that much time and money on it because it is impossible to win in a long run

Every person has different thinking about gambling for some it is nice to spend their with chance to make profit, some people are addicted of it and losing their while trying to get recover their loses, I also think gambling is nit worth playing if we have addiction of it.

Yes i was about to say the same thing before even reading your post,yes different peoples have different thinking as far as gambling is concerned some enjoy it and some say its really bad thing.Well i enjoy it and can tell its not bad as long as you are not addicted to gambling  and yes its really very bad for some for addicted to it.So beware

you are right about the thinking but for me it is worth playing as it can be sometimes really entertaining and it sometimes can give me good money

If you keep getting a negative result, is it worth? Gambling is never worth it, let alone to get money for his life, really not worth.

Gambling is both worth and not worth to play. It is worth it if it you just do it for fun without having the desire to win. Amd spending just your spare money where you can afford to lose. While on the other side it is not worth it also if you are addicted to it and lose big amounts that it ruins your living and you start to hurt someone.

Never lend money to a degenerate gambler. If you do, you have to realize and accept that you will never see that money again.

You can lend it if he/she are your best friend that already aware the risk of gambling. Nobody know how great their luck on that day but as long as you gamble with care, you will be fine

If you think this isn't going to make you greedy and uncontrollable enough to loose your wallet and home, it's not worth it. It only happened once for me to loose over $50 and I never did it again ever since.

It is not worth it to gamble much because in the end you are going to lose, that is how it goes with gambling in the long run.
You will have to play poker if you want to make some money in the long run with gambling.

Gambling is worth when you do it with the money you can afford to lose.
Else if you lose what you don't want to, never gamble because it doesn't suit you.

if you start seeing gambling as a game not an investment then it is the only time that you can see how much gambling is worth playing.

also there are a lot of people that i have been seeing who are making a good amount of money through gambling games which require skills instead of luck, for example in sports betting.

Everyone can choose his road, most of gamblers are rich or at least they aren't in need to money, therefore they won't be affected if they lost money, but if someone plays gambling games with all his money, that consider as a sickness because there are many major things on which you must spend money and these things are more important than gambling.

Yes, the gambling is worth only if you can afford to lose. But play gambling only for just entertainment and your fun. Don't play this gambling to make money. If you choose to gamble to make money then it is not worth for you, It will spoil your life.

How gambling is worth to you if you can afford to lose? its still not worth it.. i dont think to other but for me its not worth it to gamble i just gamble for past time.. and for fun..

The problem here is in that we didn't separate the notions. Hence we have to mention that there is difference between 1) situation, when you can afford to lose money, but actually you more need them for something else and 2) situation, when you can afford to lose money and you can throw away any amounts of money. The latter situation is a bit idealistic, because everyone actually can spend money for something better that gambling. However, if person thinks that he/she has an unlimited amount of money, then gambling is worth playing. Nevertheless if person always can spend money for something better, he/she more should play gambling for fun or maybe just do something else.

I think the question "Does gambling worth playing" depends on the intention of the player and at the same time depends on what gambling game he is playing.  In my opinion gambling games that are not worth playing is dice, slots,  lottery and roulette.  My reason is, I can't find any entertainment in there.  It would be fun to play blackjack and poker because the suspense in it is much longer and your winning is not governed by chance and luck.  Skills play the biggest part in this game.

If he is gambling for his money and losing them then it do not worth to gamble as gambling is not going to earn us money but  gambling is only for entertainment and when we need to get entertainment then we only have to spend that amount which we afford for entertainment.

Yes, gambling worth playing when we use it only for time pass. Definitely gambling will not worth for making any fortunes out of it. So, the worth of gambling is purely dependent on for what reason we are going for gambling. But, some gambling types like sports betting are worth playing for making some profits.

Playing once in a while is ok. No bit deal. Getting addicted to gambling? Now that's dangerous. It can ruin your life so bad that you would want to be never existed. Just choose the safe course and don't gamble.

Yes, the worth of playing gambling is valuable as long as we are not getting addiction with gambling. Once we get gambling addiction, everything will go against us and there will not be any meaning on playing gambling after that.
Gambling worth a try if we play very rarely. But, keeping gambling as a rare entertainment is not possible for anyone, that is the reason they are getting gambling addiction.

i think not for every one but for those who are luck and also have good skill of making money in gambling then it is really worth for them to make good amount of money.

Gambling is a paid entertainment so as long as you can afford that much amount to enjoy those games, then it is worth to enjoy these games with money. If you can't afford money to play these games, then you will get many other activities to enjoy your free time so no need to gambling to have fun.

It's not worth playing if you are using your last penny that supposed to be used in other things that are much more important to you than wasting it.. It doesn't matter if you are lucky or not, the thing is you are using your last money to gamble which is not a good idea and worst is that if you owe your friend a money to gamble then you are almost on the edge of losing your friend and money...  :)

yes and no at the same time.

it mainly depends on the way you are playing the games. if you are busting your ass to make a profit out of a luck based game like dice then you are wasting your time and it is not worth wasting time and money on. but instead you should play it for the fun and enjpy your time.

Gambling is worth playing depending on your outcome. Your outcome depends on your skills and luck. If you win money, of course you'd say that gambling was worth playing. Otherwise, you'd say that you just wasted your time and burnt your money. Anyway, even if you lose some money out of gambling, it can still be a good thing because it can serve as a learning experience for you. At least you've tried gambling once and learned that it doesn't do any good to you.

Of course not all the people who are gambling are going to be winners always of course if there are winners then there are losers too.

And for those people who are being unfortunate with gambling then they are going to say that gambling is not worth playing if they are not going to understand their situation.

Because they are the one who decided to gamble and of course it's either they win or lose  and they may say it is worth it and not.

I would also add that it worth playing if you're ready to take the risk because that's what it is about but if you're not ready to take the risk and you're about winning alone? I say don't even bother to go near it because you will get frustrated especially those ones that depends heavily on skills or experience in other to make headway in it.

if there is anybody who is gambling this way, then it is obviously a waste of time and a lot more harmful than you may think because this way of gambling will lead to addiction and a lot of money loss and you should start helping your friend stop right now before it is too late.

This is so true. Seriously, guys, never risk more than you can afford to lose. Gambling, investing, starting a business, whatever: if you can't afford to lose it, don't get involved.

For me yes, gambling is really worth to playing. Especially if you have much money, but it's not worth if you don't have much money. It's better to not gambling if you only have less money.

If you don't have money, you don't have the right to gamble. If you believe that you have nothing to lose if you do not have a money, well we gotta think about it twice, money is not the only thing we are losing in gambling, our time too and other things around us like friends. Gambling would only be worth playing if you have nothing to worry about life.

I think he is very much addicted to what game he use to play as everyday gambling isn't normal something wrong at him . Even he owes you money dont bother to say no even he is your friend a true friend corrects and not spoiling what a friend do wrong things.

If you are able to win then of course it was worth playing but if you lose then of course you are going to say to your self why did I go.
If you lose then it is never worth it because only winning matters with gambling.

I think gambling is worth to play if we lucky enough we can win some money
but if we lose we will lose our money so please dont play Gambling with money you can't afford to lose
and next time dont lend some money to someone who's addicted on gambling its too risky

That's a gambling problem, and I don't think you can generalize and consider everyone that gambles has problems or is wasting time and money.
I think gambling can be a perfectly healthy hobby, if you have control over what your doing. The same as everything else actually.

You should of course try to talk to your friend and try to make him get professional help, because he seems to have a gambling problem, and if not treated in time it can only get worse, affecting everyone around him, as it seems it's already happening.

actually gambling is worth to be try to testing our luck but because your friend was already addicted and this is could be serious problem from him i think for now you should tell to him to stop gamble even though maybe he would not listen you because gambling will became not worth to person who has addicted

Gambling is not worth playing when it turns out
to destroying a life of a person, whether it is financially, emotionally,
and socially.

And another thing is that a gambler should never ever borrow a money
to use as a bet when playing gambling game.

That is so wrong.

everything that out of control is bad playing gambling not for fun and allowing to barrow money to gamble is sign of addiction this practice should not be tolerated it will wrecked a life and it will really make some emotional damage  i have seen many people tend to be like this started with just playing for fun and ending up messing up with their life.

i think your are in bad friend circle . the gambling is a way to make profit in only 1-2% but with greedy mind gambler loss his money.
i am want to tell it is a game of loss of money .
keep distance from your friends .

If someone wants to gamble in fact it is not a problem. The most important thing if we gamble we still have self-control, so we have restrictions in play. Self-control is necessary so that we do not become a loss in gambling. If you see your friend's debt to you to gamble your friend may arguably not have self-control and is very addictive. It was not good in my opinion and it would harm himself or others.

Gambling was made to be fun, if you or your friends already lend money to gambling then it is not correct anymore, i think your friends already addicted to gambling, seek some help to help your friend, and dont lend any money to your friend anymore, if you lend him he will fall deeper to addiction

yeah defnitely gambling is worth playing especially if you're playing it with your friends. although that's only up to a certain point as if you get too much into it, addiction would come in and that would be a very big problem. as you've said you have to stop when you've already used up your capital nad make sure you control yourself from loaning or borrowing because it would really be hard to stop at that point

Never give loan to a gambler, and I also suggest you to tell all his friends to not give him any money either. Try to go out with your friend, take part in some healthy activities.
Explain him that gambling can't be a reliable source of profit and that he should work hard to earn money, instead of believing in luck.

You should try to help your friend if he is just wasting his life away. Gambling is serious business, if he can't support the habit then he shouldn't play. It really is that simple.

Gambling is really addictive thing so when anybody got addiction like this. Than he turned this into bad way and start ruining his life for hope one day he will hit the jackpot and all problem of his life will get fixed. But keep playing with other people money is really bad decision.

The solution is very simple to say for someone who doesn't have gambling addiction like you. Do you think that his friend wanted to be addicted in gambling? Of course not, but he can't do anything about it anymore. He has debt now and his mindset probably is just that he's hoping that one day, he'll hit the jackpot and all these problems will finally be solved. He will continue asking for people for money because this is the only way for him to recover his lost money (on his mind, atleast).

I don't think I have even a single cent that I can afford to loose. I think no matter how rich a person is he will never have funds which he is happy yo loose in gambling, right ? The problem is we should not gamble at all if we are not having fun with it and if we are having fun we must see the balance between fun and pocket allowance.

Throwing away with his money for nothing is like you are getting nothing no benefits and others first thing if you really want to waste money then make sure at least you can make money with it and if your friend really can't make money with gambling then ask him to stop playing and learn more about trading instead.

And I can tell you that unless there is a goal to be achieved in gambling its all done in vain, I mean if you have no goal then you will try to win 100$ then 200$ and then 2000$ and one day you will loose all in the dream of becoming the richest man lol so better don't gamble if you cant set a goal.

I think you are first person who says rich people should gamble :P , I am sorry but from what I have seen I see poor people gamble because they want to get rich, while if rich people are gambling then what is the reason behind it ? I am bored and cannot understand how people have FUN with gambling.

I think its not worth gambling for the profit but gambling is something that you can do if you want to enjoy some games and pay a little for it.
For the enjoyment its worth it in my opinion.

If a person is expert in gambling and he do not lose his money in gambling or if a person play only for entertainment and he do not lose his money in gambling then we can say that yes it is worth to gamble.

It depends on how a person plays it, If a person plays it to relieve his/her stress or boredem in other words for fun then it is worth it. But if a person plays it and got addicted to the point that he forgets his responsibilities and even bothering other then it's not and it will certainly ruin one's life .

It's better to seek some help from the authorized persons. Of course help from friends and family too are greatly appreciated.

If your friend seems to lose too much in gambling, he/she must take proper professional help. Otherwise they are in grave danger. This addiction is tough to get over, and even if people do gamble for fun, they often get addicted to it and that is bad. Of course he owes you some money but you must help him first to get over his addiction and then maybe beat him up every-time he begs ;D ;D

It is, if you know how to do it and take care of your money. It's never going to be fun if you're losing, and you already knew that. Be wise and manage your money with extreme care before you go with your wallet on you. It becomes a fun activity of you're playing with affordable amounts and stop when needed. Don't just rush - be cautious and take any possible case into account.

To answer OP's question: Well it depends how good you are right?! When you are more winning than you are losing I would say it is definitely worth it. And when that is the case it is not just pure gambling anymore. Those guys who often make a profit are having a good tought out strategy and incorporate risk and money mangement.These are smart gamblers who most of the time know what they are doing.

Gambling is mostly worth playing but its more for the profit so not the other hand profit does not matter at all in my eyes.
So if its worth playing is a difficult question in that matter..

how it depends on how good you are??they say is based on luck but even on luck is not based, even if you win you will go back to lose the money you won... so forget about gambling

The temptation of gambling, double your money but come with high risk to lose it. I agree, gambling worth if you good at it, play with strategy and know how it works, not just depend on luck. Forget about gambling if you don't know what to do to earn profits.

Our basic character nature is affected too a lot by this gambling addictions, because we become rude and unresponsive, I remember when I was gambling a lot my parents used to say that I am not giving enough time to the family, and they said I have become rude. We know only when others point out.

but be careful, you should spend money that you are ready to loss. if you are not ready to loss then you don't have to play gambling. and never make all in of your money because its not a good idea.

You could say that but you cant stop a person who is really hooked in it. Even the little left that he have will be gambled thinking he might get it back with that last money that he have. It is really hard to stop it or just walk away from a loss.

you should all try not to get hooked up with gambling in the first place so you don't have to give it up.

and gambling as a game is so fun to play and many people are missing this fun of the game to play with getting money involved and thinking they can make a lot of money this way and become rich.

Gambling is worth playing if you are winning in game but if you don't win in the gambling and just wasting and throing money away gambling is not worth that much for me gambling is just for entertainment and if you need to play then play with faucets and you will gain profit there.

Are you comparison Gambling with Faucets? 
Still i agree with you, because in faucets we don't use our money, and play it and gain money without any lose, but in gambling we mustly use our money and we take risk and also we don't know that we win or not, but if we play gambling for only entertainment than of course gambling is not dangerous for us.

Gambling really worth when we can make money and the eagerness make us more greedy when it comes of gambling we all want is easy bitcoin there. And we are really don't care if we are going to lose in the next round throwing money away is the best feeling ever. haha

But as a gambler using faucet is not worth it. You cant even make as far as .1btc and it doesnt mean that you are using faucet you will gain profit, nah. Its just youre not lossing any amount because you didnt deposited but youre lossing your time and that is not worth it.

It worth to gamble till that point where you are sole purpose is making some profit or having fun but not getting it as a mean of becoming rich over the night. It is very popular way for entertainment and making profit of some percentage. Gambling makes you trouble when you have no limits and control over your emotions and greed.

Yeah its worth if we win and take some prizes or money on it but its depend on the person that the person used gambling for fun or profit.

IMO, it's worth gambling because I have mostly won my bets. I would like to say that I had been lucky those times when I gambled and made money from it, but now I slowed down on this and don't do it too much as I know my limits.

It depends on person to person for some people it can be really very addictive and disastrous. I have seen many people who started as fun and then their fun and joy can easily turn into nightmare. for newbie with weak character it doesn't worth because always preventive measures are best way in everything and gambling has no exception.

Ofcourse sometimes it takes time to make profit with faucets but if you are really lucky guy who can really make profit with faucet then you can call your self as king of gamblers some of my friends are doing this they collecting free satoshi then play with the gambling site they can really make profit i don't know if this true.

Gambling is worth playing if  you are aiming for  entertainment and nothing  more but  if you are  aiming for profits then  its a different story  hence its  really impossible to make  stable  profits on gambling and you would always end up broke  on the  long  run. In your  situation convince your friend  to stop  gambling  immediately before its too late.

Yes, Gambling is worth playing for those who have lots and lots of money but don't have a family or friends whom with they can spend time and money, but for those who have a family and have other ways to spend money and have all the entertainment, they should not even think of gambling at all. Playing gambling is not worth for them.

yes that is a fact that as a friend it is your duty to advice him to change his way of playing gambling and try to limit his gambling to certain limit.

If that's the case and he's too serious into it, take him to a responsible authority that might help...
Else, ask him to "do it for fun and don't make it a habit..."
And don't force him to repay you back because in such cases, these guys don't listen, they will try to recover the losses and won't collect the money instead to repay what they owe to someone...

Gambling is not at all worth playing you ar thinking of getting rich but if you want to have fun then its the best thing I believe.

After reading about your friend I will say that no for him it do not worth to play gambling as he is losing all of his money in gambling and is unable to earn money in gambling and if he will gamble only for money then he have to stay a little there.

Like most people said here, it`s sure worth if you win more then you lose. I find fun in gambling, so it`s not always just about profit, yes it`s
main point in all that, possibility to earn some nice money without doing hard work.
People should like what they do, if someone like to gamble time in gambling is good and fun time, at least I see that like that. I spent time in
gambling, I also gamble with some friends that like to play poker.

It really depends in the player's attitude towards gambling if it would be enjoyable amd if it would be worth they're time and money. Some gamble blindly and i don't think there's that much enjoyment if youre playing for profit and you start losing a lot

Correct, it trully depends on players attitude and aims  when it terms on playing gambling  because  they are the  one  who handle themselves when they play gambling at the beggining. If it  would give you satisfaction when you are seeking  entertainment  then its really a good thing but  if you are aiming for profits then that a bad hing after all.

Actually, if someone wants to gamble was not a problem but should be on the limit, and self-control must be held so as not to lose. If someone gamble to borrow money that I think is not good, because it can fall into the category of addiction. If passed would certainly greatly affect his life.

Only if you win it it was worth playing because if you lose then it was of course not worth it because you did not get anything else out of it.
You gamble because you want to win money if that does not happen then you have just waited your time.

That is a dumb thing if you do that you should never borrow money and go gamble with it because of you lose you have to still ppay back that money.
He then is going to try to win his friends money back with gambling as well.

It's really worth playing when you are winning on the game but if you just throwing way your money in gambling website just to have fun then it's not really worth playing gambling anymore if you don't know how to value his money just simply barrow the money from your friend and instead of loosing them into gambling site make trades or any activities that you guys make money.

I think gambling is worth playing only if you're not losing a lot of money. Losing a lot of money is just a simple proof that you're getting addicted to it and it can get far worse than that. Gambling teaches you a lot of stuffs. That includes controlling your emotions, being wise, using your mind more efficiently, because if you don't learn these stuffs, you'll continue to lose in gambling. You simply have to adapt so you'll most probably learn all these things with experience in gambling.

My answer is also in yes that gambling worth to playing. There is nothing bad in fact the usage is where problems appear if you don't know how to handle things. Gambling is one of my hobby and I enjoy my bets on sports events. I am fond of slot machines so online I spend some time periodically spinning on different games to get fun.

I also when was new i did not knew when to stop, I was like used to have around 1 bitcoins in my wallet mostly and I try to gamble 0.1 and make it 0.3 or 0.4 then think lets make more and again drops to 1 btc and this used to continue for few days ( I do sports betting ) unless a day comes when I loose all the bitcoins. Now I make goals AND stop once reached.

If someone do not have much money for his life and do not earn that much which he will save for playing gambling then he do not need to invest his other money in gambling for him it do not worth to play gambling it will destroy his family life.

I think no one can stop you from gambling whether its friend or anyone, better self assessment is the best way to quit gambling and if someone is addicted so badly then obviously its not worth to gamble for him or her. My friends are there in real life where some actually bet for profit while some are having fun, they call me we watch sports and have part if he wins :)

If that person love to his family then he will hear of his family and will think for the better future of his family so people like those are easily stopped by his family. and he then do not gamble in his life or gamble only for fun not for money.

but to me for some people gambling is a kind of good investment and they really making good money from. but making money from gambling is not every one's job, it really need good skill and experience of gambling.

It's unavoidable, other gamblers hope that they could win extra when they gamble, in fact they even have guts to borrow money from their neighbor to use in their betting hoping that they could really win.. Lucky if they win, they could pay and have a food to eat,not good if they lose, they'll have to look for someone who can let them loan and no food for the day, that's the typical routine of a gambler...  :)

The most important thing you can do when you have a friend or family member like that is to never ever borrow them any money again.

Due to the addiction they have, they will likely never pay you back. Even if they win it big, they will lose it all again in the weeks after that.

By not borrowing them money you are at least not feeding into their addiction.

Gambling is worth playing only for those who are looking for an entertainment, and only they will understand that they need to spend money in order to be entertain, with that aim they will not be addicted and gambling will not be a risk that might destroy their lives.

Yeah i agree with you, the main purpose of it is to enterrain, even during the old times, people are betting not to gain money but for entertainment

Of course, it's worth. I do gambling just for entertainment not to make money. And I will play gambling to come out from daily work stress. So for this, i am ready to spend few coins in gambling. If I make any profit, I am very happy that day, if I lose my bet I just take it easy.

It depends on the perspective of the person that who are used to gamble.. For me it's worth playing.. it makes me sometimes feel relax because of the fun that it brings to me so neither I lose or win my feelings will still be the same. I just have to control myself and know my limits/boundaries because if gambling will abuse me it will become an addiction. I don't want someone who will call me an addict.  :D

It all depends which casino you play in and how you gamble. With a good strategy you will see that you will managed to keep your winnings postive.
With a excellent strategy and a reliable casino you can win a lot and thus make profit with gambling.

I tell you one truth today, no one yes I repeat no one in this world is gambling for fun, we all re here on this forum and online to make money and all the fun we have is mostly in our private life which is in the real world. So, anyone who says he gamble for fun or want to gamble for fun is either addicted or is going to be addicted.
Personal note to everyone : Never gamble if you are not rich and have no money to waste for FUN.

that's right addicted to gambling is a high maintenance vices so if you are not rich and you are saying that you are just having some fun
i think we really needed to think more about it.

Theirs no way we can get fun on gambling if we lose on betting and losing of that is totally wrecking and surely people will be pissed of since they can't take the lose they get im some bad matters, and eventhough people keep saying that they only want fun but deep inside in their heart and minds are they doesn't get what they wanted since gambling is not a fund filled game.

Your friend is really throwing money when he can't really back what his loose on gambling website loosing is a part of gambling offcourse that true but if you really want to deal with gambling then you should not play greedy play with small bet into high bets when you are loosing your small bets. Gambling is worth playing when you win.

No mate, gambling is not really worth playing in the first place because it has a really big risk, a really big risk that can lead you too emptiness or worst. Gambling is not recommended by everyone here in bitcoin because the only thing that can make it is to make all your bitcoin disappear in time, it is a magic though. Instead of doing this kind of thing which is really a waste of time because you are not putting any effort on it, all you have to do is to hope to your luck and win, but still you didn't win. Investing and trading are other ways for you to earn bitcoin in a safe way. I can assure you that you won't lose anything when you do this two. It's is proven and tested by many bitcoin users.

I don't think so because when you gamble the sole purpose is to make profit and whenever there is a money making factor we always get greedy, i give you a classic example, suppose you are winning all the bets you are making on a particular day, wont you try your luck on a unlikely win like 99x with small amount ? Yes ? that's it , greed wins !

People are saying worth playing but for the fun and enjoyments  it is really worth playing if you are talking about the profit than its not worth to start doing it honestly.
Gambling is in the most cases not profitable at all.

As long as you gambling with the intention of making a profit from gambling, then it is not worth to gamble because as we all know that in the long run, only house can win and gambler will lose. Even you play with superb strategy but it will not last forever, and one day you will lose back money to the gambling house. If you play gambling with the intention of fun and entertainment then it is worth.

No Bro Gambling is Not Worth Playing Fir Your Friend Because As You Said Above that He is Throwing Away His Money For Nothing and Losing So According to me He Doesn't Need to Gamble Because If he Continue Gambling One Day He is Out Of Money And No One Can Help Him....

Yeah they should not be playing
if they are getting addicted that much.

The worst 'part of it is that his friend is borrowing
money from him which turns out to be foul
when you are just going to
put a borrowed money into the game.

You are right but you know what the problem is mate here ?
Once we start to gamble and get some profit the mindset changes and we start to think like : Hey, how easy is money making ? let me do some bigger bets and that's where we all loose money and get addicted.

I think that is the worst thing to do when you are borrowing money for gambling, that is unacceptable because in the first place we do gamble for fun only and borrowing is a sign of desperation that we want to take back our loses in gambling.

indeed. losing money that came from your own hard work is bad enough, but losing money borrowed from someone else's hard work is a lot more worse specially if you lost it in gambling. people should be aware of their limits emotionally and financially when they decide to start gambling

If you are looking for fun, there are lots of ways to have fun in gambling. Actually, having a mind setting that you are doing gambling for fun could be really rewarding and entertaining. There are lots of ways why some people do it. It is either a form of social gathering or their way to escape something. It could be for relaxation or to just killing time. One thing is for sure, it is worth playing when you are winning. It is your decision anyway.

really? addicted is that so >.< how i can help him with that addiction? i tried to tell him about how can gambling game ruin your life he just told me to mind my own business -_- so i got sad for that moment because his my best friend i can't see him being poor and lonely his girl friend leaved him for not noticing his girl friend he even calculates the gambling game -_- i might say his going to be a creepy guy one day he always say's to me that i can be a good gambler because i helped him once and won but its my money dough but still its i asked him get a doctor or something to cure that addiction

But still i feel like my friend is addicted to gambling games. I really like that opinion of yours doing that for killing time and entertaining that really helps me from playing gambling i believe that gambling is very fun to play with even if your money is depending on it but my concern is that my friend is addicted to it i can't help him watch losing gambling games because he really owns me money his lucky that we're best friends i really told him to play with heart and have fun but he always play with greed in his brain not fun addiction to gambling is very bad he ignores money and told me that to mind my own business :'(

it is as long as you know your limits and restrictions. gambling really is a fun and exciting form of entertainment it's just that when people get addicted to it that problems happen. as long as you know when to stop then go ahead it is worth playing

In that case, gambling is really worth playing, with few cents or funds coming from the faucet in the betting site, but if you are using your money, but it is different in the case of OP, his friend's gambling habit is more than an entertainment, it is more like addiction, as his friend even have the guts to borrow money from him and use it to bet, gambling that way is not worth playing...  :)

No gambling isn't worth it , I have Tried many times , people think they can earn good money with it but it is very hard.
Avoid gambling please.

Maybe you have a bad memoriesin gambling. You always lost in every bet you take. Trying hard to get profit. Ha ha. By the way just enjoy the game set a profit goal so that you have chance to win. Avoid using script and bot because it is not good for us in betting. It will ruins your lifein the future.

it is as long as you know your limits and restrictions. gambling really is a fun and exciting form of entertainment it's just that when people get addicted to it that problems happen. as long as you know when to stop then go ahead it is worth playing
