People who gamble are degenerates, change my mind.

[tippytoes]

My life is luckily away from gambling because I'm afraid in the consequences that might came up to me when I became addicted to it. There's a lot of degenrates here who doesn't care about the causes and just thinking about their personal goals. When gambling, we always need control because controlling yourself to avoid addiction is like controlling your good future.

Well, if you gamble just for seeking profit and will make money then, that is not the right decisions. Controlling your self is just an easy way and we can gamble anything we want or something If we wanted to break our boredom and need something entertainment. Mindset is difficult to set if you are in addictive already.

Actually, there's a lot of entertainment we can choose except gambling. If you really wanted to avoid being addicted and just want to entertain yourselves, you can do sports or other stuffs that will benefit you a good and healthy living right?

If I'll entertain myself, gambling is not included in the list.

This is very right. Entertainment comes in different forms. And if you want not to be stressed brought by gambling activities, better choose a different form of entertainment like sports and other hobbies. It is all about what you choose in life.

I know my statement may sound pretty hostile on this part of the board, though I'm not talking about the person who will buy a superbowl box or makes a friendly bet with someone over one big game. I think the degenerates are the people sitting around gambling on every game they can possibly gamble on.

I have friends like this, people that will gamble on Mexican Womens Tennis if they can win (or most likely lose) some money on the game. It's a crushing addicition that we've normalized in our culture to make it seem like it's just apart of life. It shouldn't be, and children at a young age should be stopped from gambling until they know the horrible outcomes that gambling can cause. I support every effort by regulators to stem out the bad actors in the gambling field in order to stop children from being hooked on this.

I'd like one of you to change my mind, or at least make me think different about gambling. Because as of right now, I have a pretty negative view on it.

In the eyes of many gambling is a kind of bad habit by the individuals, but people had their own
perception in it. To others here it is one of their amusement that can give happiness to their, were they don't care if they loss
just for fun in short. But if you play or not it is your choice dude, just do it what you can afford to loss.

In the gambling game, without having control of yourself, you will not be able to keep your money because you will attract in the deeper of the gambling and you will lose that money. Having control for yourself will prevent you become addicted to gambling, but many people have lost the control because they only follow their instinct to continue playing gambling.

There's no clear views when you are already addicted it's better not to try than being too engaged to this activities, gambling is not a good source of funds but can be used to kill your boredom and find some enjoyable experiences, if you can afford to lose some money and you are not aggressive to chase your loses then you can play once in a while to be entertained.

We know the possibility already before we engage in gambling and mostly we never think that gambling is just for fun but of a serious game we play.
Addiction might catch us when we indulge in gambling and may control us in the end.
Knowing about these facts, it gives me some realizations and never been controlled by such addiction.

I see where you coming because you seem to know the horror of too much addiction to gambling, some countries already had rehabilitation for gamblers, not all of them are degenerates in mind, there are some people who really can't control being hooked on this, as much as there are people who are hooked into drugs and gaming.

Many gamblers can read what you have posted and some can change their mind but I know that there will be some of them who will not change their mind anymore. Its a disappointment for me that many are getting addicted into gambling but we can't blame them. Their perspective against gambling is different for some gamblers who are just gambling for fun. Maybe they will just change their mindset if they have no money anymore and feel regret in what they did.

If you are a religious person, gambling ruins your present life and afterlife. If you are an atheist, gambling ruins your only life.

I totally agree with OP. People justify gambling for many reasons. But they know that themselves how they are fooling themselves.

The satisfaction of earning money by doing hard work is totally wiped off by this shitty stuff called gambling addiction.

I've left gambling for a while, intitially it was tempting but now I value every dollar I earn and gain by working online.

You can certainly play to have fun, but it all depends on the emotional state of a person, as well as on his character.  There are such people that even when they play a simple card game, their excitement is so strong that they are capable of inappropriate actions if something goes wrong with them.  And there is no interest, and even no cash bets, and this person is already becoming dangerous for his excitement.

That is why before you decide to play gambling, you need to ask yourself, can you control yourself in the gambling games? Because not all gamblers can do that thing, and that makes them lose all of the money, which is the biggest mistake they make. Having fun while we are losing all money is not worth it because we need to control the fun emotion so we can get out from gambling places without stress because losing the money.

You're missing something here. You can certainly have fun while gambling as long as you have the money to support that. It doesn't depend on the emotional state of that certain person, that depends on the person itself if he will be letting himself controlled by his emotions or not. I've been struggling to stop myself from gambling and I can tell you that it is so hard but the thing here is that it is not you vs. your addiction but there are a lot of people around you to help.

This kind of activity need to be stopped, because early days of addiction will ruin their life and make them miss the teenage days which is the most important days. Mexico is already suffering from different economic and political issues, now this will once again make the country not to progress good competing the neighboring countries.

why pay when your only playing for fun ? there are many free to play gambling sites out therre ( literally free ) that you dont spend any fiat or cryptos but instead these kind of gambling are only using play money or in game chips that act as bets  . its okay to become emotional when your only playing for fun . you can emote all you want but it only becomes bad if your playing on a real gambling that involves real cryptos/fiats because this will dramatically affect your gameplay

So we need to prohibit younger people from staying away from gambling games and explaining to them that playing gambling will make their lives become dangerous. They would become addicted to gambling if they played for a long time and every day. Besides that, they will risk their money to lose in the games without any chance to recover the money.

If we can explain to them carefully, they will listen to us, and they will prevent themselves from entering gambling places even when they are connected to the internet. I am sure that younger people now are aware of the danger of gambling games and they can take care of themselves.

People are addicting to gambling because it is all about greed. If you are not greedy you should know that you make money by doing something that is not losing to the opposite person. Gambling was done as a game of fun from beginning but now people thought that it is the most simple way to make money fast but remember that the gambling sites owners and your fellow gamblers are out to make the same money and as such whenever you are making money or winning someone is losing and when you are losing, someone is making money from it.

gambling is a game that has both its negative and positive effect.the positive effect include your gain per playing time,the fun of the moment, socialization, psychological development on taking risk and letting go at losses(accepting ones fate).the negative aspect is loser's emotional breakdown, it leads to violence, addiction could be dangerous. i only think it should be controlled especially among immatured people.
