Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!!

[iv4n]

When you will finally understand it, sickness is not in objects and things around us, only we can be sick in our bodies and minds. And I`m a bit disappointed cause I'm talking about it all the time and nobody see my comments about it.
Gambling is not good or bad, its neutral and people give shape to things around them. Gambling is just a game, and can you remember how kids cry when they don't like some game? This is what people do now, they don't like the game, game beat them and you are crying now like some little baby`s.
I will gamble until the end of my life, and its not sickens its a pleasure!

Gambling should be considered as sickness as it works no different than sickness. An addicted gambler always has in mind one thing to recover his previous losses by getting somehow money. A sickness is always have control over your body and mind same does gambling. You will never see any person who has this sickness doing things normally and will mess up things.

I think it depends on the person. if the person can control his emotional state then that person can wisely take all the decisions. and the wrong people will surely wrong anyway using bitcoin to play gambling endlessly. everyone needs a break to think carefully.

I am still surprised this thread about "gaming being a sickness" is still ongoing. I am pretty sure the OP meant sickness=addiction and everybody here is comparing it to having a disease.

I think sickness way better than addiction, this is something like a possibility that may result to addiction but still this two is not good for you wether the effect is worst or not.

Gambling itself is not really a sickness that you may call. Gambling is a game involving money and that is not a sickness. When we became addicted in gambling that may be considered as a sickness, Addiction is equals to sickness.

I agree to this. Gambling is supposed to be for entertainment. We should all the time treat it that way. Otherwise, it will definitely lead us to depression and sickness.

MY reminder, always have plenty of sessions and have your own system that you can follow with when you do gambling.

What do you mean by plenty of sessions, would that mean that you need to play regularly. If that is what you meant then you will be easily addicted in gambling although you are just playing it for entertainment, please remember that you cannot maintain to play that way because the money or reward is very tempting.

Many people play Bingo or some kind of national lottery in his own country.

Btw, there will be launch of decentralised Smart Contract lottery "Kibo Lotto" soon. In August 2016.

So, everybody in the world will be able to buy $1 ticket and win $ million.

I think, it's fair game and great idea to start lottery on smart-contract.

Yes, it should be considered as sickness. It has been proven now that gambling is more addictive and has same if not more negative effect on persons lives which are facing this sickness. It is silent killer which doesn't let its victim to know that he has fallen into this. Every gambler think he can quit whenever will want but time proves him wrong.

Other than addictions, the frustrating moments of gambling are making myself too to think gambling as a sickness. It is really paining when my bankroll is getting decreasing while I am gambling, the feel of frustration makes many psychological disorders too. So definitely, the losing moments of gambling is the root cause for considering gambling as a sickness.

Just being addicted to it, is already a sickness, a very very bad sickness that can danger not only you but also the people around you, but if you can utilize your strengths well, and exploit the weakness of the house, it will be good for you, but note in mind, that this weaknesses are rare things, due to that casino or gambling sites are made to earn money, not to give money.

[Too.Cool]

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.

If you mean sickness same with addiction i think we had same oppinion, but if you said it was different, it will come alot reason and thousands of word to debate on this topic, even i already broke bcoz of gambling...

The addiction of gambling becomes a sickness for the whole family if the senior member or the care taker of that house is addicted to gambling, because someone addicted to gambling can do or spend anything for gambling and loses everything he has, so that becomes a big problem for family members.

Yeah, addiction is not a good thing for our lives. because it is so dangerous for us if it does not have the self control to any addiction we get. All the people who are addicted in gambling will end up miserable for every day they get to spend all the money he had

Definitely, that would be bad for the family and will probably ruin one's life with gambling addiction. This should be properly evaluated by the family's bread winner as you don't want to risk the future of your family just due to irresponsible gambling, we need to evaluate of self on our capability to control and if we don't have that capability then we should not play gambling.

Being addicted is sickness, but gambling is not, the two are different...  If you are in control of what you are doing and abusing gambling, that is not addiction, and that won't give you any problem,  but if you keep on finding new formulas, techniques, method or whatever you call that, it is now an addiction, the more you are curious about it, the more you'll be in trouble of being addicted..

[jakelyson]

I agree to this topic. Gambling should be considered as a sickness because many people never stop with it anymore and I think its very wrong to gamble also since they keep losing money . If they can't control their selves then it's a sickness.

Yes in gambling controlling our Mindset is very important. And one more thing doesn't be Greedy in gambling. If you show greed in gambling, then I am sure you will get lose. So for this kind of people The Gambling is considered as sickness.

gambling is not a sickness at all, that would be the same like calling smoking a sickness, it is just an addiction and it is normal as people want money

It can be a sickness. It is like calling drugs as a cancer of the society. Gambling is adictive and no addiction is normal. It is normal for people to want money but it is not normal to expect money from gambling even if you are on the wrong side of the odds.

Gambling is not a source of income nor it is a way to earn profits everyday or every week, and the ones who use it that way or want to use it that way would surely feel it as a sickness later.

Well said, if you are considering gambling wrongly then you might get the wrong results.
If you go for gambling to make profits then we will lose all our bankroll. Suffering losses is the most common scenario for most of the gamblers. We should change our motivation on gambling to stop suffering gambling sickness.

Gambling can't e considered as a sickness as it is a type of entertainment,

Addiction to it can be considered,
But only if that addiction do cause a lot of negative effects on the life of the gamblers,

Addiction in gambling are not that severe in comparison to other addiction, so For me, I don't consider it a sickness as long as it does not have any negative effects in your life.

Are you about that? Not that severe? How can it not be severe when if you are addicted in gambling you will lose your house, and the worst is your family.

Not severe? lol. Gambling addiction would  give you a miserable  life  when the time comes  that you dont have a single penny to spent. You even  sold your house to someone  just  to have money to play as  also others said that it might   be a cause  that your family would leave you. That thing  is not severe to you? Why you are comparing to other addictions? Put in mind that  everything is abused might lead to things that  you wouldnt expect to happen.

Yes, gambling is for entertainment and winning in gambling is just a reward to us. But the thing is we cannot do gambling for our source of income. This is also the one reason why many people want to play gambling because they are trying if they can win this time but the truth is just they losing their money slowly by playing it. Many people get addicted because they don't have self-discipline, this is really important when we play not also for playing but also in our daily lives, but if we have self-discipline when we are in gambling we can minimize our loses.
