Addiction Isn’t Always Tied to Gambling Revenue

[stadus]

Whoever that says they are making a living from gambling is just deceiving him or her self because even if they say it one millon times I won't even agree to that, even though it may work different for some people but not the extent of making continuous profit from gambling. 

We just have different beliefs on that. For me, I think there really are a few people who make a living from gambling, especially in sports betting. But of course, I can’t prove it since those kinds of people don’t really show up in public.

And that makes sense, if they’re truly winning big, why would they expose themselves? they’ll just end up getting banned or limited. so, it’s really a matter of belief. if you see gambling as just fun, then you’re like most of us. but for them, they’re on a whole different side of the game.

The reason why many people say this is so that they do not feel embarrassed in front of everyone. I have seen many big gamblers who lost all their money after a while. A person needs a source of income to gamble, from that place he finds a discretionary income, with his discretionary income he can gamble. In this way, if a person gambles, it will be very good for him and his financial situation.

Reality and the story of the movie are never the same. In the story of the movie, it is seen that a person easily becomes the owner of a lot of money by gambling and he never loses in gambling. But in reality, when a person gambles, he loses many times. If a person gambles or thinks of earning a living by gambling, then this will be a completely wrong decision for him.

It's not true that we always loose in gambling. Gambling is also prone to research and study. There comes types in gambling. If we are just trying out our luck by playing random games or just betting on random numbers is when we have changes of losing more that what we earn but statistical gambling will make us analyze the game and determine the odds before putting our money into.

Gambling can be compared somewhat to trading. Both require immense research and ability to understand the changes happening around. In movies, yes I have seen people turning out to be billionaires just by trying their luck or depending on some random factor but we can never compare real life with fictional life.

When you wait for the problem to become noticeable then the problem is already there, plus the government would likely be the last to notice something like this which means that the problem might already be irredeemable by the time they decide to take action against it, if they truly want to curb addiction on the side of their citizens then they need to makes sure that good regulatory laws are in place early before addiction becomes a problem because at the end of the a majority of the citizens being addicted to gambling is an economic problem and the effects would be enormous with too deep roots for them to be able to cut. So prevention is better than cure.

Government most times are more interested in the revenues that they collect from casinos so they don't look into the negative sides of where they are earning from. Government only becomes proactive and tackles issues only when the problem escalates and by then a lot of damages have been done. It will be good if a government from the beginning not put all their focus on the money that they will make from casinos, instead research whether their citizens are being addicted so that they can put laws to reduce addiction before a lot of their citizens becomes addicts. Gambling can be very addictive so gamblers should gamble responsibly not waiting for the government to wake up and come to their rescue.

Government don't have any concerns in anyone who is addicted in gambling, besides they're some religion that doesn't accept gambling, but the reason why Government allows gambling is because it's what gives most of them in Government fun, if government of any country wants to ban gambling, they have the right to ban gambling

But it's obvious that why government is leaving gambling to exist is because of tax they collect from them.

To be honest, the government doesn't always take the issue seriously until it becomes a big problem. Gambling addiction develops slowly but by the time it becomes visible it's too late. The consequences are not only personal, but also social and economic. I think preventive measures are the real solution here. If these were in place earlier, making people aware, setting limits and bringing some control, the damage could have been reduced a lot. If the government wanted it would also generate revenue and protect citizens.

The responsibility of the government is to conduct the country. They will increase their attention so that the country does not suffer any harm from any side. They will increase their special attention on how to take the country forward. Due to some governments' corruption, they do not take any action strictly, but rather show laxity in some areas. At some point, they fail to control the country. The government should give priority to its people first. Then something else. However, in the case of gambling, it is also true that if the governments take a strict stance, gamblers will definitely try to use some other platform, which is a big loss for the country's revenue.

It's the government’s duty to combat a menace that threatens the nation's stability. I have seen the worst in addiction here in our country. Imagine a security guard robbing his place of duty because of his addiction to gambling.

That's to say the government need to  fast track their process in trying to curb this issues of addiction, mostly i enjoy the tight policies some countries are making in trying to reduce this menace of addictions and it's a good thing they are taking such steps cause literally when such issues are tackled the country can be in a better position to benefits from the country's revenue.

Addiction and revenues,either of these automatically cause the  other.Mindfully,Casinos,online platforms and the gambling industry make money whether or not users are addicted.Many gamblers play casually and responsibly,still contributing to revenues without being addicted.

When it comes to gambling, yes governments should tighten regulations because it does not take a long time to get addicted and once addicted, it can ruin our lives. I have seen people even sell out their houses just to gamble and fulfil their cravings for having profits. This is what makes the governments step in and create some strict regulations which should always be in place. Gambling should be more like a fun-spending game where we just have some fun and go home no matter if we make profits or loses.

Gambling is not as bad as it sounds. All we need to do is have some discipline which even the governments will help developing.

In my opinion, both Singapore and Australia demonstrate quite reasonable gambling regulation. In my view, regulation should be neither too lenient nor too strict, but rather reasonable in terms of ultimate parameters, such as minimizing addiction while ensuring sufficient gambling tax revenues. However, minimizing addiction should be given much greater attention. When a country is as attentive to the problem of addiction as possible and regulates gambling as sensibly as possible, it will prosper, and other countries will follow suit. Countries that either tighten or relax regulation will face significant problems.
