Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!!

[eann014]

I don't think gambling should be considered a sickness....I think that it's a symptom of some other condition that just expresses itself in habitual gambling.  Like having a nagging wife.  But, I may be in denial because I love gambling!  I don't do bad because I've acquired the skills necessary to compete on the poker table....but I do spend a great deal of time on the felt....but, mostly to stay away from my grumpy wife because I really don't need the money anymore!

Well, you are so lucky you don't need money anymore. because in my opinion, all of us needs money every single day.
Because how can we eat to buy our foods if we don't have money? so I don't think you don't need  money anymore.

As he said he dont need money anymore and  hes a very  lucky person i guess  since all people  in the world need money to survive on daily basis.  HE said  he would  like to gamble at all to  avoid his grumpy wife. Maybe hes a businessman with leverage income.

Well that is one of the attitude of business man they are avoiding their talkative wife and putting aside it just to gamble.

And upon gambling it is making them comfortable because instead of hearing the roar of their wife blaming for something he didn't wrong.

Even though I am not rich but I can understand rich people problems.

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.

Life is a gamble. If I go by your logic, living should be considered as sickness!

life is definitely not a gamble because everything in it depends on only you and nothing else

Not at all. Even your father's sperm, that fertilized your mother's egg, was by chance. Your very presence here on this blue planet is by chance.

Not other people who are making your future it is in your hands if where you want to bring your self if you want to be rich gambling is not a good place to become rich gambling can bring you down unless if you are just halving fun and you have your limit to gamble.. I hope people who are addicted i hope they can realize what their doing..

Considering it as a sickness its just sick to be honest, you cannot say that gambling is bad or something, the people itself are making the mistakes and get into problems.
Gambling is just something you can do but you got also enough people that are just doing it for the enjoyment without problems.

Gambling is risky but if you know which sites to use and if you are smart to create smart strateg you can earn a lot of money on internet very easy and it dont need to be sickness it can be nice profit generator.

Most of the strategies that are known and that can beat the casinos are decades old already, so I don’t think you can come up with a strategy out of the blue.

Gambling is no sickness, I really cannot say that people are thinking that its bad or something.
Gambling is fun and not a sickness, its just that people are doing it wrong...

Gambling or to be precise addiction to gambling in most cases is caused by other problems in life such as depression, people who live active and interesting lives rarely get addicted to gambling or drugs, unlike depressed people who search for anything that can help them feel better at least for short time.

i think you gone opposite. Life is not for gambling but gambling is for life. for those who want to have fun with it. and if we do not care for our future and spend the whole life only for gambling then we will be sick.

although gambling is not considered a Sickness, but I think it can carry Sickness. because if you hooked and lost large amounts, it can make a person become stressed and will probably lead to an irregular life. it can make a lot of growing disease in his body. but I guess that does not apply to people who are not addicted

Definitely, because when you lose you will surely not gonna be happy and that is the big difference when you are gambling for money and having fun only because when you are having fun you will not cry for loses.

True, it is always depending of who is playing gambling. If that gambler is easy getting addicted in something. Then he is one of the addicted people out there that is now out of control in gambling. But of course there is also persons have self-control in themselves.

In short overdoing it is what makes it wrong, that's the time that you are not just there to try to win using few extra cents that you have, instead you are purposely there to win by any means..

There is no fun in gambling when you are losing... That's bonkers...

Active people are more "productive" therefore there is no dull moment coz you are not used to it...

You have a point there, sometimes a person who get addicted are those who are looking for "escape" each time they are facing something and they can't resolve it easily...

GAMBLING REALLY IS A SICKNESS WHICH EITHER FALLS UNDER EMOTIONAL, SICKNESS, MENTAL SICKNESS OR FINANCIAL SICKNESS
thats what i think

Wow now dont put all caps here, you dont need to shout out your opinion, its against the rules to put all caps like this. I do agree with you but that is correct for addicted gamblers. Some people play for fun maybe once a month bet on their favourite team. That is like a source of entertainment for them even if they win or lose it does not matter.

I think obsessive gambling should be considered as sickness but unlike other sickness, you don't know if the person is a gambling addict. You can't easily detect it. Constantly having the urge to do something is not a normal thing. There's no way that you would be able to control your urge but you can control if you're going to follow your urge or not. There's a training for that and it's really simple.

Actually it is not difficult to identify if your friend is a gambling addict or not, also a sickness has a cure through medicine even a virus can be cured if a vaccine is made for it. Like you said  gambling leads to addiction. Addiction and sickness cannot be related to each other. An addiction can be treated by socializing while a sickness is treated by medicine.

Well not all viruses can be killed by vaccines   Gambling has something like that in it

Addiction can be stopped by abstinence and getting involved in other things that one loves to to, maybe some hobby like gardening, trekking, reading books and of course socializing - but the most important thing is determination and dedication to stop it by the addicted person itself, otherwise all efforts go in vain.
