Effects of Gambling

[tabas]

I think the only positive effect of gambling is that you can earn money very easily.

This is why gambling is called as the fastest way to earn money.

Gambling is more of a negative thing according to your information.

Not only to our information but it was boldly known by the community and society.

The good effects you mentioned are irrelevant as nobody gambles solely for the purpose of making friends, getting pleasure( I don’t see any pleasure involved), nor does it increase our assets directly.

There is pleasure in gambling if you only meet those people who wants to gamble for fun. (this is rare)

So the only good point is that you can earn money without doing any work but that is also not guaranteed.

But you are gambling.

Let me share my opinions regarding to this effects

Good Effects:
*Can make money easily (not guaranteed)

Yes you can make money but its gambling. Its pure luck so you don't know when to win or when to lose but in my experience, I'm always losing in gambling

Good Effects:
*Gives so much pleasure

I agree with this especially if gambling is now one of your hobbies. It will give you pleasure and entertainment.

I agree with the last 2 of the good effects you have shared although I don't like it 
Lets go to the bad effects now.

Bad Effects:
*Big loss
*Increased on your debt
*Insufficient Funds

I put this in one because they are somewhat interconnected. If you don't have money to gamble what will you do, you will borrow from another person - debt. Now if you lose in gambling you will borrow again - debt increasing. This cycle will happen until you will realize that you are now at a big loss and not only that, you have a big big debt.

Bad Effects:
*Depression/Stressed

This happens when you are at a loss. If you lose in gambling, the tendency is you will feel regret for it and then you will become depressed. The solution I think to remove depression or stress is to entertain yourself. Go to bar, or find a place that will make you happy.

Bad Effects:
*Broken Family/Failed on relationship

The worst thing  that can happen when you are gambling. Because you made it as a hobby now, you have no time to your family and relationship.

How can you handle this possible effects of gambling in your life? Its simple. DON'T GAMBLE AT ALL!!!!!

[Compa]

Effect on gambling is depend on you, how you use gambling in your life.
If do you use gambling to play in gambling to get a lot of money. It's wrong, because gambling is not a job but an entertaiment.

Gambling is a satanic act that opens the door to other crimes.

Not all gamblers does have that time of mindset. There are charities that are dedicated from the profit of casino's so helping the charity is an act of what?

Yes some casinos do donate the funds to charity but i haven't seen any charity claiming they receive donations from such casinos either way even if the money is donated i have never seen it utilised properly

The government is also responsible for putting the tax that comes from the casino to send directly to these charities. Why do the charity have to claim that they receive donations? You don't know that there are donations that coming from them that wants to remain hidden, helping without any exposure.

maybe the casino doesn't use the name of the casino to give the charity and using the owner's name to hidden their business. I think many casinos give a donation to any charity.

we know that gambling has negative effects for people so it is better to not to play gambling in every day and we know how much we should spend on the gambling games. and if we can do this, we can prevent to become an addicting person in gambling which more dangerous than normal gambling.

AFAIK there are casino's that has their own charities or if they don't have they have obligation to support a charity that they wish to. Here in my country there's a government agency that is being supported by the gambling sector and the profit that comes in are being donated to the needy and for charity works.

What will be the effect of a bad thing? I think gambling is a worst thing and the effects will definitely be worse. In my opinion gambling should be only for fun and not for making money, because if you want to make money from gambling you will lose your own money. You can have party with your friends in casinos but not gambling addiction.

It has been said thousand of times here that gambling should be only for fun and not for making money. Tell this to the operators, casino owners and they should only have fun with their business. Do you think gambling is a worst thing? what can you say about people who are taking drugs. There are other things that are even worst with gambling and you are only looking at the side that is bad but you never looked at the side where gambling can be a good thing.

All things has its positive and negative effects. Even gambling, it has positive effects it makes one gambler become instant rich, they meet new set of friends, and it gives pleasure to the gambler.

On the other hand,the negative effects are its an instant big loss, it may increase your debt. Also it will be the reason for the mis understanding of their family members that may lead to broken family.

The effects of gambling is depends on you how you can play.. How you can gamble in every single day. It's effects life when you don't know how to use a self control.

The effect of gambling depends on how we gamble, but that's just about how much that effect affects you. I mean the effect of gambling is the same for everyone, but it will vary in intensity, if you gamble every day, gambling can be very effective to you, and vice versa.

An addicted gambler has no control over his gambling limits. He will only quit gambling when he has nothing left in his pocket. I have seen many gamblers who lost their houses and businesses as well. Now you can imagine the effects of gambling. I think one should gamble in a limit and do not accede from that limit otherwise he will lose all his money.

sad to say but this is the truth , I am once an irresponsible gambler but I have learned my lessons , I realized that you cant make a living i  gambling , at the start it will give you the desire that you could be a an instant millioinare but just when you are ready to gamble all that you have bad luck comes believe me

[gowobonyok]

the first effect is to lose money when we experience defeat. long-term effects are gambling addiction that makes us lazy to work and just want to gamble alone.

[Gabrieelle]

Effect on gambling is depend on you, how you use gambling in your life.
If do you use gambling to play in gambling to get a lot of money. It's wrong, because gambling is not a job but an entertaiment.

You're right gambling isn't a place to earn money because there is no guarantee that you will earn something at the end, it might just cost you a lot of money if you end up betting all you have. It is only for fun as what most people say but we must also control ourselves when it comes to spending our money in gambling.

[henmark]

Nice advise. I agree but depends who is investing. If a person already has a lot of money why would he care then? There was a time when i used to spend a lot in gambling but realized it later after loosing a hefty amount. I remember my time so to avoid any kind of personal problem, one should take it as fun not completely become dependent upon it. It can ruin your whole life. If you really want to make money through gambling, just begin with small amounts and use that again and again to multiply. Even if you loose, you wont have any realization or pain on your heart.

I agree with you, besides starting with a small amount and making it grow gives a lot of pleasure because you'll see that you are making a better play that even in such a small amount of money you did make it grow. Additionally, we must have already a certain amount to gamble before we start so that we could avoid losing more of our money.

It’s true if you can manage to do it. You have a small amount then you could never get a really big award or price just because it’s too risky to aim for a Hi multiplier. It’s really being able to manage on what you are going to do with your money.

It is the tactics of casinos that let you win the bet for the first time and even some days, but when they realize that now you are addicted of gambling they show their real face. You will lose all your money gradually and you will be unaware of the bad consequences of gambling. When you lose everything then you will realize the effects of gambling.

[mware]

gambling is considered to be bad by many societies because gambling is often a complementary with alcohol, drugs and some illicit activities. but since people are free not to gamble the mere existence of gambling does not do harm

It means you better know the end of gambling, because you have lost a lot of money. This is the bad thing in gambling that when you go in debts then you understand the worseness of gambling. Gambling always has bad effects and you will never be happy when you quit gambling at night. Casinos are like a robber, who takes your money and you can do nothing.

Gambling connecting to drugs, alcohol and illegal activities isn't right.
Those people who are doing it at the same time are actual addicts in different vices and activities but don't forget that there are decent gamblers that are getting good effects in gambling. In general, effect of gambling was treated to give the most negative things in this world.

[jakagintiri]

for the life of me gambling more give negative effects than the positive ones so from that I started to try to stop even if it's difficult, because I lost a lot of money gambling and almost lost my job, too, but if it is for you to give a positive effect is up to you because it is completely your right.

I think we just need to control ourselves and not fully quit gambling, for sure gambling would give more negative effects if we always
do gambling because most possibly we will be addicted and we might lose more. Actually we can limit gambling if we can do it occasionally.

Sorry to hear but it will be useful for this community if you share how gambling impacted up to your job. Take time to help this community with your real experience so that some people will learn a lesson from your incidents. I am recommending this because for that reason alone this forum exists and we are sharing our views and opinion here.

Almost all the gamblers are experiencing more negative impact compared to the positive ones. But, you need to understand what is negative and what is positive from gambling. If you target easy money then definitely you will experience only negative effects of gambling. If you want good time-pass then gambling will give you lots of positive energy.

To avoid the bad effects mentioned in the OP

Bad Effects:
*Big loss
*Increased on your debt
*Loss jobs
*Depression/Stressed
*Broken Family/Failed on relationship
*Insufficient Funds

gamblers can do the following:

*Big loss

You will never experience a big loss if you play responsibly, which means risking only amounts you can easily afford to lose.

*Increased on your debt

To avoid this you should never ever borrow money for gambling, even $5, it is simply unacceptable.

*Loss jobs

This happens when a gambler is fully addicted and can't think of anything but gambling. He/she can't concentrate anymore on doing things which are necessary for surviving while thinking that gambling can solve all the problems. To avoid this situation, one have to understand that the "possibility" of living solely from gambling is an illusion which was shattered many times by different wise people and by gamblers themselves. you just have to google it.

*Depression/Stressed

Of course constant losing leads to depression, but gambling is gambling, you can't lose always, sometimes you win. But to be able to play in those times, you shouldn't lose everything during the days of bad luck and that's why you shouldn't risk big amounts ever. By following this way you will never win a lot, but you will never be depressed either.

*Broken Family/Failed on relationship

In some cases this happens even when money isn't a problem. Don't spend more time on gambling than on your loved ones. It is easy to do when you are not regarding gambling as a job which can bring money to you and to your loved ones. If you are regarding gambling as an entertainment, it doesn't take a lot of brains to understand that it is unethical and ugly to constantly entertain yourself while paying little attention to others around you.

I would like to say sorry for your loss in gambling. For me, there is no positive effects of gambling aside from shot-time entertainment and pleasure only. Some are trying to stop gambling but they are doing it for a long time and they are doing it as a hobby already. Now stopping is difficult because you tend to do it many times already that your body and mind are finding ways to gamble. The reason I don't do gambling is because I don't want to lose my money even the return is so big, the risk is so big too. I can't risk too much for money.

Yes, gambling is very risky if we bet using a compromised money because we don't really know the outcome of the game but mostly losing is always at the end. Prolonged exposure to gambling may lead to negative effect such as physical and mental stress and worst if come to addiction, that is why I always have to limit when I play in gambling.
