I think chocolate eaters have a problem (you should see my wife after years of eating chocolate); should we blame the chocolate?
a good analogy mate we may not be to blame chocolate because it makes a lot of people eat it and become addicted because chocolate besides chocolate does not force you to continue to eat it? but you yourself feel that chocolate is delicious and sweet. then you buy again you could implement this on gambling

Gambling is not a sickness and should not be classed as such. I gamble and I am far from sick lol. It becomes a problem and illness when you're addicted and spend what you cannot afford to lose. Saying you win in the begining and then lose is also wrong, there is no rule to say you will win at the start.

I can totally relate to it. There was a time when I had become addicted to it. I have lost my fortune, took loan, gamble again, lost again and moved back to signature campaigns.  Grin For an experience it wasn't that bad but one should know limits to gamble because beyond a limit you can't earn in gambling.

If you lost everything I would say it is time to get a decent career to focus on and actually get enough money to pay for rent and bills because there is no way signature earnings can do that.



For your kind information, you are commenting on the career of a mechanical engineer who is currently working for a fortune 500 MNC. By saying, I have lost my fortune in gambling, I meant I had lost all the bitcoins I had earned till that date and that was the time when I was a student. I do not need to pay rent because I have my own house and as far as bills are concerned they are no big deal. I just earn bitcoins and enrol myself in signature campaigns only as a hobby. So it's better to focus on yours and not to make personal comments on anyone without knowing them properly.

It can be either chocolate or smoking or pizzas or gambling or watching TV, if it goes beyond the limit of hobby and injuring to your health, then definitely we can call that as a sickness. Basically we do call the addiction as sickness. That must be more appropriate way, in my perspective too.

Yup! anything that is too much is bad for any person, even if you have to much money that can be bad for you because your life is near at risk. Now, if anyone is gambling too much I can say it that it has a bad effect in his life because as gambling by nature it is risky and most of the time the house will win.

Worst thing is, if you can't get money to sustain your gambling addiction, you might turn to crime to get money. But that is only worst case scenario. I don't think there are that kind here. We are just mostly light gamblers and still controllable. But still, gambling could lead to sickness if left uncheck.
Yes, that is something that gamblers should be aware of. If they don't have something to get to their pockets
there is a possibility to steal other people's money just to sustain their addiction to gambling just like being addicted to drugs and other illegal things.
Gambling will only nice for you if you are for sure that you can earn some money with it but that is only possible when you are lucky with gambling and that is quite hard to win that.
But that is the risk that you should take but that is the bad thing that can happen.

Gambling is already considered as a sickness when it become an addiction! But it depends on how you are gambling..There are some people, usually poor people, that invest all their money to hope in a win just because it is a change to change their life. But in this way they will lose more and more, and not just money! Sometimes this is a cause for the lose of the family too!
By the way other people though gambling is not a sickness but a simple way to entertain themself.

That's the hardest thing when you lost you family because of gambling. You know, it would not bring good to anyone who gamble for profit by betting huge amount cause it always ends in a sad consequences in life. People with weak decision making should stay away from gambling cause their is a huge risk which is the addiction, and knowing addiction in never good in life.

Gambling is not sickness but it could become an addiction and these are two different things. Selfcontrol is very important and people who are addictive need to be helped because this may turn in very serious problem for them, their family and working environment

Yup! it is the attitude of a person that is making him addicted to gambling, it he continue to make gambling as his habit without getting any benefits from it then he will a face a big problem in the future. This gamble is for matured people only who already strong is managing himself regardless if winning or losing.

Gambling is only worst if you are addicted to it and that can be bad because you can lose a lot of money with it and that can be bad.
But you never know what is going to happen with gambling but losing with gambling is a high chance.

Gambling is not a sickness for some people its even a blessing, its in my opinion not a sickness because you are self doing it and get addicted.
With sicknesses you get it no matter what you do..

How can Gambling is a blessing?
It is not a God's gift, also gambling is not a sickness, it is depend on us how we use it and get profit or lose, but gambling is not a good field. because it is addictive thing, so should avoid it.

Gambling is a blessing for good gamblers who are making good money out of it and it is not possible for each and everyone of us as we will surely loose everything in short term.

I agree, not all gamblers are losers but majority are losers which I am pretty sure I'm part of it. However, there are those gifted gamblers who has the skills to win in gambling who use gambling as an opportunity to earn extra money.

there is a big difference when you say "gambling is a sickness" or when you say "the person is sick (addicted to gambling)".
narcotics is addicting and harmful and it should be considered a negative thing but things like gambling is not like that so if someone cannot control themselves it is their own fault and not the gambling fault.

Gambling itself or the act of gambling isn't necessarily a sickness. Addiction to gambling, sure. Addiction to anything, whether it be gambling, porn, drugs/alcohol, food, is indeed a problem for many people.
Yeah you cannot blame gambling it self because people are getting addicted to it. So lets stop blaming gambling and start looking at the people who gamble to much.

Blame yourself either, gambling does not force you to play and besides gambling casinos does not welcome minors to play so it is already understood that once you gamble you already know the risk and you can do responsible gambling.

Gambling can be really considered as a sickness in my eyes, look how much people are already addicted to it, I really think its ridiculous.
They can also not stop and I think that you can than call it a real sickness..

That means that the people who are addicted to it are sick, you should not blame gambling because people are addicted to it. They can decide for them self.
