Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!!

[8Habits]

It's depends on the attitude of the people towards gambling.. It can be addictive but once you already on the limit and hit the wall that's the time that you stop gambling.. but some people will still keep going and going until they win no matter how much lost they have.

I also think it depend on player's mind what is expectation he have and how much money he want to make, if anybody won decent in the beginning than it will be much hard for it to stop this easily, I think this kind of behavior is purely sickness when anybody find himself helpless in that kind situation.

I believe the main risk group for gambling addiction is lonely, depressed people who don't have any interesting activities in life, such people usually become addicted to drugs, booze or any other things. People with healthy relationships, lots of friends and hobbies usually have much better self-control and don't become gambling addicts.

You have a good point there mate! People that have a very active lifestyle and is surrounded with friends are not likely be addicted to gambling unless that person really want to play more than spending quality and fun time together with friends and loved ones. Those people that are bored are really prone to this addiction because they doesn't have any outlet.

Not really,  I have an active lifestyle myself but I was addicted in gambling before. You know, the main reason why a certain person can be addicted in gambling is because of his will to earn easy money, easy money - it should be emphasize because gambling can give that to us, but most of the time we failed to realize our chances on achieving our goal that's why we failed most of the time.

Like they said, nothing is impossible in this world so you can still make a method to be successful. However, only if you are serious enough will you succeed of making money in gambling as it needs more time to experiment and that is continues learning you need to do.

oh well most pro went to be like this before and they a;ready achieved success, for sure they learn how to control their self
not to allow the house to eat them alive, gambling really a big problem that needed more control in our brain if what we wanted to do
and hope we can do it correctly.

Before you enter into the gambling world, you should know the pros and cons and mostly the outcome is negative and that is a hard way to earn money when the odds does not favor you, but there are professional people who can exploit the house and we want to be like them but we can't because we are not gifted with the skills.

I regard to it as more than a sickness, but an illness, as we have Compulsive Gambling disorder where one gambler cannot stop gambling once he or she saw a gambling place. It is like you are very ready to lose everything you have in exchange to greater amount that you dream. You are not thinking about it and just decide to gamble. It is a condition that is serious and can destroy one’s life. It is more than an addiction actually.

Sickness is more serious word to use because that is something more severe in the eyes of the people, but seriously we cannot call gambling as the sickness in the first place because we are making our own destiny and there no way we blame gambling but only ourselves.

[aranachristianjay]

I do not think that gambling should be considered a sickness because when you get sick you do not know that you get sick.
Gambling happens because people decide for them selves to gamble so they are making them selves sick if you ask me.

if a person is addicted to it then in my opinion it should be considered as sickness because you would lose everything

Right, gambling is sickness for addicted persons, but for normal persons gambling is not sickness, like you and me, gambling is fun and it is made for especially fun and give the people entertainment. But gambling become sickness for those kind of people who can't control ourselves and they don't care what the result if they lose in gambling.   

a normal person still have a possibility to become an addicted and get sick of gambling.
imagine when you get started losing so much money feel frustated and start doing nosense things.
even causing a suicide because really not few people who gamble from loan money , and they cannot payback just the loan getting bigger and bigger.

All of the people are prone to become an addicted gambler if they are not going to control their self as they gamble. And too much addiction is good to consider as sickness.

And once you can see it to yourself then have some first aid already just like controlling your money as you gamble or if not you already need medication.

So that sickness will not going to be worst in the end.

[Golftech]

i reall cant understand why as sickness when most people in world tried to gamble

Well, gambling is not a disease but gambling addiction is a disease, it follows the same logic as alcohol really, many people in the world have drank alcohol, and they are fine, but there are a minority that can’t stop and are addicted to alcohol.

exactly. gambling can bring out the greediness in people but gambling itself is not at fault here because mostly people who gamble are adults. and as adults we should already have that sense of self control and responsibility to know if we are gambling excessively already. a lot of people lot their minds already with addiction, so we should try to limit ourselves before it gets to that point where it'll be hard for us to stop

That is because people don’t want to take responsibility for their actions so they prefer to blame a scapegoat rather than point the finger at the right person, themselves.

exactly. That is really the reality to most of us, including me, that we tend to blame others on our present conditions in life where in fact we are the one that are carting our stars and making the decisions before - that is why we are here now. Unless you are being captive as hostage and can't decide of your own - that is another story. For me, gambling is not bad at all if you just play for fun and with the amount pf money that you can afford to lose.

well i do agree that its not a sickness. even if you look in any aspect. in everyday of our living we need to gamble in order for us  to learn what is wrong and right. its all about gamble in order for us to live.

Many activities can become destructive if they drain too much time and money, but usually it is caused by other problems in life. People with happy and active lives rarely become addicts, mostly it inflicts poor, depressed, unsatisfied people.

But some of it also inflicts those rich people that has nothing to do with their money and they are just treating gambling as their personal therapist. I know some of those people who are not contented for a day if they can't gamble. And that is really funny for me, but in reality they are sort of experience a disorder and that is not just gambling addiction.

[MWesterweele]

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.

Yes it may be a sickness because you want to get rich as much as you get not knowing that you will be poor sooner or later. What I mean isthe addiction if you are addicted then you cannot think properly. And its start to temptation in which you are curious on that matter trying to win big.

Well, they are rich they can waste their money because they have a lot of it, it's just gambling is not for everyone and it is preferable that rich people will only gamble as they can spend any amount of money just to get the entertainment they have. Most of the gamblers that complain are those who gambles the amount they cannot afford to lose.

They may ruin their life because of gambling but actually it's because of their irresponsible action.

[aranachristianjay]

Gambling is sickness if you re addicted gambler , losing your hard earned money and still coming back despite this. But if you gamble with small amount just for fun i don't think its so bad.

With gambling at the beginning everyone decides of placing small amount, but if winning take place then automatically mind becomes greedy and makes the gambler to go for big amount. This at times described as sickness as well addiction when the person doesn't have a mind to concentrate upon other activities similar to a day job.

Which is why people should be educated about the math’s in gambling, the possibility of earning big is there but more likely than not thanks to the house edge we must expect to lose money on the long run.

Yeah the house edge is really earning a lot of it and for me not the gambling itself is considered as sickness. But the gambling addiction is the one making a gambler being sicked.

And it is the sickness that is very hard to treat because there is no treatment for that kind of sickness.

The house edge is just normal to a gambling site as it is necessary for them to operate profitably, one of the most important thing to remember in gambling is that the odds are against us and it's hard to win in the long run, therefore instead of ruining our life because of our aim for money, just try to enjoy the beauty of gambling.

Sickness is likely a disease that ruins the day . Gambling can be considered a sickness because when you do it everyday you will be sick of addicting to gamble but the more applicable term for this i think is a disease and not sickness ,sickness is a different term and it is used in a person who is really sick by something unfeeling well in her body.

Yes addiction is already a form of a pathological disorder.
Gambling is a form of addiction that needs to be treated with meds ( for some.. to lessen the anxieties and strengthen their fight against triggers) along with individual and group counseling.

[eann014]

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...

Its not either  a sickness or disease  because gambling is just a game  and  the one who would be responsible is the player or  gambler itself. He  knows already on the risk would happen when they tend  to gambling is  the first place.  Gambling sickness is considered as   gambling addiction  which could  really make things wrecked up.

Yeah it depends on the one playing if he's going to let gambling turn ibto addiction. Gambling addiction is the one that's making people broke not gambling

I've got your point and I am agree with it. Gambling for me is a game and that is not going to be a sickness, the person that is addicted in gambling that is the one that will be considered as sickness.
