Is gambling bad to the society?

[ethereumhunter]

When a gambler gambles on a person's gimmicks and if he can somehow win money once he gambles on gimmicks, he becomes so addicted to gambling that he thinks he can always make money by gambling. But once he wins money and gambles, his confidence doubles up. He gambles twice as much, bets twice as much, gambles twice as much, loses twice as much and returns home empty-handed. So this kind of gambling addiction is not right for anyone. Because gambling addiction leads a person to destruction one by one, everyone should refrain from gambling addiction. A gambling addict becomes so addicted to gambling that he cannot manage his family properly. There is constant chaos in the world so only his family members can understand well how dangerous a gambling addict is to his family.

Gambling addiction is only gives a bad effect to anyone, not just for society so people who wants to playing gambling must knows the risks and how to control themselves. They must avoids becoming addicted to gambling by learn about limitation and controlling themselves. Although not many gamblers succeed have many things to prevents themselves becomes addicted to gambling, they must still trying to have that things because that's the only things that they must have to avoids addicted to gambling.

Getting gambling addiction can effect to their family and not just themselves. They can ruins family relationships when they becomes addicted to gambling so they must be careful when playing gambling. If they can have limitation and other things to avoids the addiction, they will not have to worry if they will becomes addicted to gambling because they can holds themselves from that matters.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
( Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

Gambling is not bad for society, it's just like most other things in life - when it is done in moderation there is no problem. However when people take it too far, start playing every day and get such tunnel vision that they spend all their money on it - that is bad. However the same can be said for other things people do to relax and unwind, like drinking or consuming drugs like cannabis which is becoming increasingly legal. There should be education to all people and effective self exclusion from gambling sites, but that works best with a global program which should be the aim of all governments to work out.

Agreed! Gambling is bad for society when men and women are deeply engaged in gambling. Addiction is a harmful act for society with a gambler's life when people take gambling to earn a lot of money. It's not a fair way to rich overnight. A Gambling addict people are ignored by family, society, and culture. They're ashamed of society for their thinner activity. Everyone needs to know, "How they have come back from a deep addiction to Gambling?"

I completely would agree with you, gambling is not bad for the society, already many sees it as a fun fact to engage in but yet their are those who also abuse it by making it their source of income or getting addicted that ends up draining every penny they have, some might even end up selling off their properties while some will also take loans just to quench their taste for gambling and this has brought about the bad opposition from the society.

Since there are people who do everything that you said then gambling might be bad for the society because all this things are not good for the progress of the society. There are many people abusing gambling and this is not good because this are still the people that stay in the society and they can make the society not to be safe because after gambling all their money, they might end up going to steal and make their society not to be safe which will make investors to stay away from the society because they know that their business will not make sales in a society that is not peaceful and full of crimes. Gambling has alot of negative effects on the society because gambling does more harm to the people gambling tham it will help them as alot of people are only gambling because they want to make money.

There are no good without evil. Everything to do has the positive and negative side of it and it depends on us to choose a side. Gambling cannot be completely bad to the society since there are no literal effect of it. It is the people who gamble that choose to allow it affect them due to there bad habits in gambling. Once the addiction increases and they become irresponsible gamblers that's when their response to things start affecting them and there loved ones including there families.

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.

Actually well said my friend and infact it's just that even as people still complain about gambling having a two sided face as humans the negative side will always be the one reflecting more because we are prone to always promoting or getting the best side out of the negative than the positive and that's why no matter how people complain or advice on how gambling can you easily addicted and the ways to go about it so that you won't fall under that group, many people will still fall victim of that side advice and that's just what holds the faith of gambling being seen as negative to the society.

Exactly, your points are good. The reason why some people see gambling as a bad thing in the society is because of how some addicted gambler have made gambling look bad in the eyes of others due to their addiction attitude. If gambling was really that bad in the society, then it would have been banned worldwide.

Without excluding the fact that gambling can help someone to earn profits, gambling is for fun and not to be fully handled as a source of income, it is the majority of people that handle gambling as a source of income that end up losing their senses and become compulsive gamblers.

Yes the problem is always about the stigma that society has, and in this situation no matter if for example you are a responsible gambler who can manage and control your gambling activities well but it does not mean that it is impossible that in the end people around you or society may still claim that you are someone who has a bad personality as a result of being involved in gambling, And it's true as you said that the bad viewpoint that the community has is formed due to the actions of addicted gamblers who treat gambling in an unreasonable way so that the downturn they experience is increasingly spread and known to the surrounding community.

Actually gambling is not always a bad or impactful activity, depending on how one treats it, and I would say that it is about choice, if you choose to gamble occasionally and just for fun without putting any seriousness and expectations then yes maybe you will avoid the bad impact, but if the opposite then yes of course you will end up with addiction which is a bad impact is a sure thing. But as I said above that even if you have good intentions and goals then it does not mean that you can be free from the bad stigma of society, and I did not find another solution other than hiding your gambling activities. Another thing that is unfortunate is that not everyone can use their common sense well to understand and realize that gambling is a risky activity that can never be used as a place to make a living.

I have seen people hate gamblers mostly from rural based people. Village and city cultures are different. Most of the people in the village are simple and want to earn money in a simple way by working hard. So they don't want to prioritize gambling and not even gamblers.

I also think that gambling is a bad thing because people are more likely to be harmed by it. People should avoid the temptation to earn money from gambling and focus on earning money by working hard or doing jobs. People may become addicted to gambling by sitting idly and hoping for more greed. Gambling addicts become a bane to the family for which they are hated by every member of the family. If we gamble then it would be reasonable for us to play it for fun and not as an addiction.
