how can we make gambling as an accepted recreational activity like sports game?

[raven7886]

it is not possible gambling does involve luck same as sports in most situations but in sports you require high amount of skills no matter what game it is , in gambling skills won't help you much you need luck more than skills

Basic thing about sports is that it gives you profits. Profits in terms of physical health, mental growth, muscles exercises and every other entertainment factors.
But gambling can’t give you anything even related to it. It makes you so loser and you are not making anything valid and efficient. So sports and gambling are just like the acronyms and synonyms. It is harmful for you.

Right. In gambling, the negative effects far outweighs its good effects. Far from sports where you'll benefit most of the time. In gambling, you open yourself to addiction which won't only affect yourself but your family as well.

It's negatve effects can not be the reason why we shouldn't gamble because if you have self control you will be a success at gambling if you are able to control your emotions and always have a cool head before you gamble.

Seeing on the ratio on those gambler who do have self control on playing gambling would really be lesser compared into those impulsive gambler which most of them do end up on wrecking their own lives because they do let such addiction to control them. Gambling can never really be considered as recreational activity.Just my own opinion.Instead of recovering up it will surely put you down even more.

I'm not sure where OP comes from, but from my experience most people don't see gambling as a problem. I don't think that many people do it, but I don't think you'll be judged when you tell people that you gamble a bit.
Of course, when you tell your family about it, they also need to know that you know your limits, and that it isn't a problem for you.

I can relate with OP.  Gambling is also illegal here in our country but you can still see many people playing it.  People will also judge you if they found out that you are a gambler.  Here,  people see all gamblers as the dangerous addicted gambler they think that all gamblers are the same which is very wrong.  Not all gamblers play for profit just like me. 

Anyways,  to make gambling as an accepted recreational activity will be like finding a good way to delete the bad image of gambling here in our country.  It will be hard since many people are very close minded here.

To be able to make gambling as an accepted recreational activity is they need to have to design a system like fighting in a game and you have to bet in your game characters like in a game of king of fighters then your character is your bet and you are the one who play and it depends upon your fighting skill., and for that it is more fun and pleasure playing that gambling.

One that I noticed is a board game where you play to bet but at the same time includes some small figures and colorful board and gives off tasks to do in the game which if played by a family it will be enjoyable, but its still a game of pairs.

[changcloy]

gambling is being a recreational activity almost to all people but i don't think that it will be part of the sports games. if u say sports there will be lots of energy release it also gives people healthy life while in gambling it may show lots of skills but it gives you stress in life especially when you always lose in the game.

[Bonakid]

Maybe for me it was not accepted as a recreational game like sports game there was no rules and regulations to follow in gambling unlike other sports there was no skill and can be learned how to play it ,it just a luck  for winning nobody can tell who will or who will loose in this game.We did not know what happens next for whoever play gambling.

[lili song]

Gambling for me not category as a sports game. Actually people play gambling to seek profits from gambling.
Sports game have a rule, nourish our bodies, and many positive benefit we can get from sports game.

We can make this happen, but most of all people shouldn't be getting themselves more binded to play gambling as a sources of their profit. That's why most people who think critically doesn't accept this kind of activity a form of recreational activity, besides they've been having an impression of money wasting.

I think it all depends on what kind of games you play. If you just stick to casino games, and it will always be seen as an addiction because you know you will lose since the odds are against you, so how can you explain why you are gambling? Also how can you say that spinning some dices or a roulette is fun and that you are only doing that for recreation.

Now if you go for skill games, like poker, then it can be seen as a recreational activity. People play poker for fun, like any card game, and they can choose to bet real money or to just play for fun. We you like to play a game both either for profit or just for fun, you can say it's like any other skill game or sports.

The same thing goes for computer games. There are professional player of CS, or LoL, dota, etc. We even call it e-sports, so it's recreational, but it can also be played for money and no one can blame you for doing that. The only problem right now is that besides professional players, it's very hard to find a place to play computer games for money. The good thing is that is about to change with the launch of the Bountie platform!

The Bounty platform will allow you to play e-sports games for money, and they will even have a matchmaking system to make sure the opponents you get are at your level. I think this will be huge for both, computer gaming and gambling.

[crwth]

 In my opinion it is already a recreational activity but it depends on the person because if you follow the right things or even bad things, it's considered to be recreational. Using your time and efforts with the leisure feeling is already a recreational activity. People just lose a lot of money in gambling that they couldn't afford that's why it's somewhat considered a serious thing instead of just the activity.

[moooonu]

I would be happy if it is declared illegal and locked away from the lives of the people as the users who gamble ends up in its addiction(like drug). They can't quit gambling as they take loan and stuff to make the lost money back and again loose anything they got. Sports is something which makes us feel something good about ourself.

recreational activities defy positivity and no stakes
offered but fully enjoyment and fun for the happiness of once
playing it,while gambling is totally different ..in gambling majority's
wanted to earn to make money.so how can we make gambling a
recreational activities when they are two different thing.

[biskitop]

I think it can be realized if all the players, bet on a small amount and play just for fun. It will make the game more enjoy, and not impressed there is intense competition between players.

[Siopao]

Recreational activity is something that you uses your ability, skills and mind during your leisure time. And it can be your hobby and aomething that will give you pleasure. I think it can't be compares with gambling because in gambling, yes there ia enjoyment but it is not something that makws worthy of your time. You can lose money and it can be addictive that can be negative to oneself.

Agree sort of it is more intense if there is a money involved to the game, they will like to won the pot money and at the same time they tend to prove their skills. Every game that has a money involve you can see those teams or those person that will really do their best to get the win and get the money. Though now it is difficult to do that though it could be a recreational activity because some of the people will not do it because it is illegal or other things that will matter most to them.

That would be a bad idea I guess. Since gambling is addicting no matter how beautiful it will be taught or will recreated in a such. Though what makes it addiciting is money, Gambling without money is not even gambling at all (It's a quote I got from one of my partners) which somehow sums up the nature of the industry. We are greedy by nature even though we say that we can control ourselves their would still be time that we will be blinded with money, which is a bad side and conrtributes on why it is not a good idea, for gambling to be accepted.

[STT]

Its not automatically addicting, the main argument against gambling as a sport type is that its actually in its purest form a type of maths.     It would have to be similar to spelling bee type competitions, probability analysis.   I have actually studied this type of mathematics for some years and its a valid subject but not exactly a sport as such.

It would have to be refined into a competitive sport, mental arthritic perhaps but just putting money down by itself isnt a sport exactly.   Poker could be argued as a sport perhaps, there are a few games where its arguable and in addition part of it is betting and not losing bank to other players.
