Gambling is risky game of money from which most people lose and just a few wins. Gambling too is addictive and fun especially when you're winning and that's why most people can't get away from gambling once they get in it. In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.

i don't think so. a car is a dangerous vehicle if you drive it madly and hit a brick wall at top speed, should cars be banned too?
gambling is the same, it is just a game that you can use to have fun while taking risks. the fact that some people get addicted and lose a lot of money while having an illusion of getting rich doesn't change any facts.

Gambling addiction - defined by mental health professionals as a brain disease at its most elemental form — have become so troubling that the state recently dedicated a total of $15 million for three years to fund treatment programs for any California resident who has the addiction or has been hurt by it, including family members of compulsive gamblers. So as you see gambling addiction is allready considered as sickness. “They are oftentimes suffering very much. They get depressed and start using drugs themselves,” said psychiatrist Dr. Timothy Fong, co-director of the UCLA Gambling Studies Program,

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.

Gambling is already a part of life. Everytime you make actions you are gambling what would be the outcome. Gambling is risk. Wha is no normal is the form of gambling that you choose to make inyour money. Gambling addiction is what can be considered as an illness.

Well, i agree with you. That's why you need to control yourself when do gambling. Some people can't control himself for gambling and the end people complaining about gambling.

No, i dont think that people who are involved into the gambling are sick. There may be exceptions but most of the people know what are they doing. Addiction is different thing and sickness is different thing.

You are right o the point with this. Yes Gambling is a risky game but I don't think gambling itself should be considered as a sickness. Some people only gamble for fun as for me. You should know that gambling is not only in forms of betting on money. Gambling can also be in our way of life in like if you are making a decision in wether you will go or not to a party evwn if your parents don't allow you to go. Basically, everything that has risks that we do in our everyday of life can be considered as gamble. Gambling too is addictive and fun especially when you're winning and that's why most people can't get away from gambling once they get in it.
Again you are right, now this is what we call Gambling addiction and this is what can be considered as a mental illness. Just like how a person will be addicted in drugs, gambling also gives a person that feeling of euphoria when winning which basically is the main reason why people get addicted in it. Once you got hit with euphoria, you will not notice that you are already on a loosing streak since your brain is expecting to get a win again. In gambling you only win from the start then you lose whenever you win a certain amount.
This is why people who gambles looses indeed. Gamblers should know when to stop once they got profit because at the end the house will always win.

if you win only at start , learn to quit at the start too. but that is not true the winning at the start part not the quitting, because winning is up to your luck not how long you have played

Gamble smart and you will win. It does not mean that you must spend your time in gambling for hours there.

In gambling more people will lose from the start actually. Thats if it truly is gambling against a house edge etc. Key is to have fun always

It's not a sickness unless you let it take over your emotions and can't stop yourself from gambling. There are users who are able to give up easily while others who get the taste of winning a lot find it very tough to let it go. Afterall money is the real problem that makes gambling addictive.

Not gambling , gambling addiction is. Greedy people that can't resist betting again and again are the one who is mentally ill. Don't blame everything on gambling, it was made for entertainment and not for you to earn money

buying BTCs or any other is definitely a demonstration of gamble. So I guess we are all gamblers, some a little insane:) (up to 90 % of their portfolio in crypto... )

i sometimes feel like this too. but then again it is not exactly gambling that is a sickness, it is the gambling addiction that becomes a sickness. or better said it is the people who are using gambling as a way of living are doing it wrong because they are losing their money everyday. but not those who gamble for fun from time to time.

I fully agree with you, some people get addicted on car`s and top speed also, but when they lose they die. In gamblin u stay without money ( if u didn`t borrow from mafia). Gambling is already a part of life. Everytime you make actions you are gambling what would be the outcome. Gambling is risk. Wha is no normal is the form of gambling that you choose to make inyour money. Gambling addiction is what can be considered as an illness.
When you make an important choice in your life, you are actually choosing between two possible futures. For me that is also gambling, and like any game life is the same, sometimes u win sometimes u lose, just keep going!

A sickness? Gambling is a habit, not a disease. If you consider all addictions a disease, almost EVERYBODY would be considered sick and ill. Think about what you're addicted to in life. What increases your dopamine levels?

Gambling is not a sickness but a decease that ruins someone lives... Too much gambling makes a person do bad habits by not being able to do what he have to do as a normal person... So if you have gambling addiction you better need some help...
