Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!!

[noictib]

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.

in my opinion gambling is not a sickness but it is a our greediness of getting more and more profit in ln seconds .since every profit making things is addicted for everyone but gambling is one of the sickness of gmbler while he loss everything but never leave gambling .

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.

You don't get it. A virus can be researched by a scientist or doctor to find a cure in terms of science, while an addiction can be cure by counseling or friends or even a psychometrician if you like. Do you think that Zika Virus or H1N1 becured with trekking, reading books, and socializing? Of course not, not even a percent of chance. Gambling can't be cured by a vaccine obviously.

I suggest you read before you reply. Please do so, because I said that curing an Addiction need those, not a virus, LMAO

Also several viruses cannot be killed. Several ones are being tested in order to find vaccines against them but till noww we dont have any.

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

I don't think so, because for me it is always depend of a player. If that gambler cannot handle the situation then he can really get addicted in gambling which is bad and it can also have a possibility that he can really have emotional problem too, because of getting addicted sometimes they can sell their belongings so that they can gamble.

Your statement also fall to what the previous forumite said... I really do agree that there is something wrong with a gambler if they are doing it excessively, probably they are really having a problem... So there is a big possibility that those reasons that were mentioned above where the most common problem a gambler for his addiction...

Don't worry I read your reply I am just comparing on what you said to gambling with viruses because you said "there is something like that in it". Its funny because I never heard any scientist or universities who are developing a cure for any kind of addiction. For me addiction is a personal problem not a health problem.

[audaciousbeing]

I will want to disagree that it should be called sickness because in the case of sickness you dont determine whether you want it or but not same for gambling because at a period of time one decided I want to make extra money or coins by take some risk then it continues like that up to a point of no return then could now be said its sickness leaving the beginning out of the scenario. So in conclusion, gambling is not sickness

Exactly, it is a personal problem. Only determination and dedication to get rid of it can help the addicted person. And hence I consider gambling as one personal problem and not as a sickness.

i think it is not a sickness , it is attraction of bitcoin to earn without hardwork . when we win the bet then we think that no one can fail our idea but when we loss then everything comes opposite to our condition so i think it is only addiction of earning bitcoin .

Not only on bitcoin but  also on  fiat which you could   think that   youwould really make  money  on doing  gambling,  it really does   but only on the beggining but when you do it for  long runs for sure you would  lose your money and  gambling is designed that way. Sickness would  be considered  when you are already got addicted to it.

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.

yes there is sickness here but that is not gambling itself but the addiction to gambling. there are a lot of people who are gambling responsibly for fun and recreation and you can't say that they are sick since they're not addicted to gambling. this also applies to pretty much any addiction, not only to gambling

for some people it is a sickness and they actually should be prevented from gambling, which means you should stop them even if it means fighting with them because it is helping them.

but for some others it is not at all, becasue not everybody is an addict and many of the players around here are playing for fun of gambling only.

[South Park]

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.

Personally I don’t think this is accurate, while suffering depression or some kind of disease will raise the odds of a person of trying stuff and eventually becoming addicted to it, there are many persons with incredible lives that fall prey of addiction.

[eann014]

Exactly, it is a personal problem. Only determination and dedication to get rid of it can help the addicted person. And hence I consider gambling as one personal problem and not as a sickness.

It is our choice to play in gambling so it is not gambling itself that is the problem for this. "You" that is already addicted is the one that is the problem and not the gambling itself. It is our choice to put ourself in a situation that we don't wanted.

Gambling is not a state of mind of a user,i think its about gambling addiction and i would say yes gambling addiction should be considered as sickness but not gambling because there are many peoples who are gambling then all of those are not sick and not addicted to it.But the addicted one,yes its worse than a sickness because its cure is not easy.

gambling could either not a sickness in terms of emotions nor a sickness in terms of mental  nor a financial sickness . It is the gambler who get sick not gambling, lol gambling does not have emotional feeling nor finance or mental ability.

You might be sick because of gambling but you can never blame gambling for that, gambling just provide us an entertainment and this is only for matured people who are willing to spend their money just to have the fun in gambling, if you cannot be happy when you lose then gambling is not for you.

Absolutely because in the first place as you have said gambling was made to really entertain people it is just that there were also greedy people who manage those casinos tend to let their users win that will make it think that it is really profitable.

But gambling must be a mind game. Because gambling affects its users in psychological way. When a gambler gets addictions, he will completely lose control over his emotions. When a gambler could not act on his own, we can consider him severely suffered by gambling. Then gambling must be come obvious disease.

[lolxxxx]

Yes it can be considered as sickness but it can be cured also like just save your money in cold wallet? and forget to touch that wallet for a month and then withdraw to your local bank when you need it?
And yes, I agrees with OP that we win in first but when we get greedy we get aggressive we lost all. Like happened with me i won a few bitcoins then i get greedy i just lost that all bitcoins in 15 seconds. Better stay away from gambling.
