Effects of Gambling

[Fatanut]

I think gambling doesn't have any good good effect it has only bad effect first you can win money but farther you will lose all money which you won and which you have personally...

Then what you call the effect of winning money? is that a bad effect? well at least that's one of the good effects that gambling can ever do.

I won't say that it doesn't have any good effect, there are people that if there's nowhere to go and they are in the time of needs. The only thing that they can think of is to gamble and do YOLO.

Which is honestly a terrible use of time and an unhealthy coping mechanism. In this modern day, we were taught that we have to focus on other things to keep our mind off of things. But that's just avoiding the problem rather than addressing it and fixing it.

Introspection is a necessity for all of us, yet it's not tackled very well. There's a picture in our minds that someone who is alone must be hated and must be a lonely person. On the other hand, solitude is needed so you can balance your life. It is only during solitude can you do introspection. During introspection, you get to take a step back and be able to reflect on things better. And this is where you can actually improve your life. You can't do that if you're going to gamble during the time that you have nowhere to go. You can actually do a lot of things. This includes planning about your future, coming up with a creative idea, reading a book, and pretty much just enjoying your time alone.

One of the things that I've been reading a lot in addiction threads outside this forum is that the addicts aren't really doing what they're doing because they are "addicted" to it but rather because they have nothing better to do. It's a Friday night, the week has been tiring, what do you do? You gamble, you fap, you do things that makes your brain release dopamine when you could have done something better.

To that, I'd say there are really no people that has nowhere to go and only have gambling to do. It's just that they haven't realized that there's so much to do in this world a lifetime isn't even enough.

I think depending on the player's goals for what they play gambling, some players don't have a problem with their losses because they only play for fun for a moment and that makes their mind fresh, of course it is a good effect, but of course there is another negative side

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gambling addict admit the negative consequences of gambling? It seems that the industry has some way of pulling the wool over their eyes so that they cannot see the destruction that awaits them. Personally, I think addiction based gambling is an extremely difficult issue to crack, as it keeps being reinforced with moments of joy (small wins) which somehow balance out the extreme lows (losing big). Personally, I don’t gamble with anything more than $50, and rarely do so even at that, because I know how much of a landslide gambling can turn into.

It is more like smokers keep hearing they are liable to die young but still smoke anyway. Their brain stimuli towards gambling has been affected that they would rather keep seeing the positive part of things even when they know glaringly that nothing good will eventually come out of it at the end unless you are just some lucky son of a gambler! This is where the whole addiction kicks in for most people. They always get to learn their lessons eventually, but the unfortunate part of it all is that, it usually is too late.

They always say that they are going to die anyway so might as well smoke. It's fun and funny to hear until they get lung cancer at a really young age. The people with addictions rather have their brains rewired. It's an awarding experience for them to do gambling, drugs, or smoking. Some justifies their habit by thinking that they are only doing it in small amounts. But this small amount slowly grows or at some point becomes larger. For example, a smoker who smokes 2 sticks a day might start smoking a lot more than that when he's in a difficult situation. Their addiction is their way to remove themselves from reality and be able to escape a little. Now that they are in a depressing situation, it requires more to be able to escape.

Those who have not done drugs/smoke/gambling in the past is a lot less likely use it to cope with their situation. They've come this far without having to do those things so they probably have developed other coping techniques. Those who do drugs/smoke/gamble are more likely to use it to cope with the situation because the option of resorting to such habits is available to them and they know how to do it.

I think winning can also mean bad effects, I think victory can bring you back to gambling again and again, because it's like poison where you want to repeat that win again, the most important thing is self-control so that whatever the results don't become a bad effect

But the thing here is that, if there are a lot of bad gamblers who are addicted to gambling, they are becoming the lesson learned people who those that don't gamble can be a model, model that they should never ever do to them selves.

I guess there is another effect that I can see on these gamblers but I am not sure if it is an effect or just a usual type of gamblers. Most gamblers I know usually are easy go lucky person. They usually just go all in into something without really thinking about it and always thinking that they would be earning something from it even though they won't really.

Good effects makes us less stress but having those bad effects makes us also more stress.Good or bad effects of playing gambling there are some benefits the more important is we cannot be addicted on it to not loose at all.

we know that the most effect of gambling has become addicting in gambling and we should prevent this. besides that, playing gambling can make us get lost the money without any chance to recover so we need to know when to stop the game and leave the places. maybe there are any other effects of gambling that we don't know and we still need to remember to make a limit on gambling games.

Agree. Addiction has a lot of negative consequences within anything in life. When you become too addicted to something, you tend to ignore the reality of what you're dealing with. Same thing happens with gambling, where too much addiction, results in a devastated financial life. In these situations, you keep placing your bets on a gambling game even though you’re going to lose money over time. Many gamblers don't realize that they've really lost in a game, until they lose every single penny they had.

I believe that those are the negative effects when dealing with gambling games, being addiction the worst of them all. On the bright side, there are positive effects in gambling games that could change your life. But what matters here is self-control, and if you're not able to achieve this, then you'll experience more negative effects than positive ones when doing the practice of gambling.

Therefore, gambling can be good or bad depending on the actions you take within a gambling game. While becoming rich is not guaranteed here, there's a possibility that you'll profit if you gamble the right way. Just my opinion

[checkmatesir]

Gambling Affects your life either in a good or bad way in the long run. Some of those effects that can change your life are:

Good Effects:
*Can make money easily (not guaranteed)
*Gives so much pleasure
*Meeting new friends
*Can increase your assets

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

Despite of this effects many people are still want to continue gambling, how can you handle this possible effects of gambling in your life?

This both affect can affect your life all you need is to take care . sometimes this good affect is not always it is depends on what you gonna do and the bad affect too it is always affect on a gamer .

But still the poor people are most existing in casino while playing gambling. In fact the number of poorer people in gambling casino or other such gambling activities are more than rich people. In fact they have become disappointed from their joblessness and having no other source of income therefore they mostly have come to that field.

It is stressful because it includes money, people want to win, they want to earn money, so the stress becomes unavoidable.

[checkmatesir]

Why focus so much on individuals? Look at the countries where gambling is 100% legalized, such as Macau and Monaco. These countries have become super-rich due to the tax revenues from casinos. Also, huge number of jobs are created as a result of gambling.  

Bad effects will occur and the impact will be greater than the good one. Not all countries can legalize gambling even though the potential state revenue that can be obtained from this sector is quite tempting.

You have discussed both the good and bad aspects of gambling. It is right that gambling can give you a big money in a short time, but it is also a fact that gambling can make a big lost for you in no time. I think that if we compare the profit and lost in gambling we come to the conclusion that lost in gambling is more that its profit.

Losing money makes a lot of stress for every gambler because in the first place, they don’t want to lose money. There a good effect of gambling but of course it wont last for long term since most of the gamblers are failed to succeed in just short term of gambling. These only mean that gambling is not safe in the long run and we must do this with control and moderately.

Losses and good things are happen at all.types of business and we cannot make anything with our minds so gambling will be suits for some people and not for some it is common , so my opinion is make the both as same.

[Johnyz]

I didn’t know that there’s a good effects of gambling in our life not until I saw this post. I have to agree on this one, but too many negative effects compare to a positive one and these reasons is enough for me not to gamble in the long run. Don’t continue to gamble if you are already broke with it, you can still get out on that trap and have a better life outside the gambling world.

Well, not all of the people that is gambling have the same luck as those people who are actually winning in their gambling activities every single time. It is like that they have their own pet called luck that can really boost their luck every single time they gamble. I don't want to risk gambling again, I just take it as a way to entertain myself from a long busy day. I've experienced being addicted to gambling and I don't want to make that happen again. I can't be addicted to gamble these days since I can't afford it unlike in the past.

People play for money and want easy money and lose in the end which become stressful for them as they lose money Majority of the times and ill effects could be like sleepless night , effecting health and so on. This makes the worst case for them and overall their life become more harder and stressful .

You'll only be entitled to that effect if you are an irresponsible gambler.
A responsible gambler must know how to stay with his limit, he must be discipline also to not allow himself to be controlled by his emotion.
We need to understand that we are risking our money, so we should be ready to accept if we loss and not chase until we lose everything.

most gamblers certainly play to get money, the bad effects that cannot be avoided from gambling are of course the stress of thinking of a strategy to always win the match.

Its very stressful if you lose money and I think its more stressful for people who are addict on gambling is that, where they can get money so he can play again at the casinos. You will find most people like this who are so addict and can’t even control himself not to gamble. Thinking for strategies is not that stressful, you just need to believe on your luck and that strategies will work for you.

The most effects of gambling are when we are losing money in the game, no matter how much the money, we are sad and we could think about how we can get that money back which are impossible if we are not lucky. The stress was another effects of gambling when we lost in many times without having a chance to win. There are other effects from gambling we should aware, and at the end of this, we will ruin our lives because when we don't have money because of gambling, we can lose everything we have.
