Gambling: Culture

[davinchi]

Have you ever wonder why even there are a lot of negative things gambling bought, it still doesnt leave us ? Is that so, gambling has been a part of our culture , even you have plenty or not. Rich people often socialize in the form of casino, while the poor are contented on country games with lower bets. I, as a person living on a third world country, witnessed how gambling form our culture. Town celebrations or "fiesta" are not complete without low cost gambling houses called "perya" where you can bet starting from almost $.02 and above. Every corner of the street has some kids playing coin games and even a wake makes its company awake using card games. Weird isnt it? How about in your country?

I don't think what country you're in but it seems that you have a good culture there while most of us play on the casino. In such country that is full of work lots of loads everyday and the only way to have some hang out is casino i have no time for some activities after a long weeks of working hard. Gambling culture is different from point A to point B what is its purpose is to have a good time for you to forget some and enjoy that day.

If your main aim is to have fun after a long day work with gambling and that is how you generally perceive it, not a bad idea. Nevertheless, a lot of people do not see it this way. Gambling has brought a lot of negativity to the world than positive if we really want to face the fact as people keep reading the wrong meanings to it, things keep getting worst and then we keep having emotionally damaged addicts as a result of gambling who ends up finding it hard to control the impulse that gambling and greed has brought to them. Culture is a far way to really be putting it.

Gambling has been a part of every culture even if you are residing from a different country. Different ways and strategy but same goal. Probably it is because people always want to earn money in I think every aspect, so even if it is only a small amount of money earned through gambling, they’d still go for it.

Yes, the urge to have too much wealth and cash is the major motive for gamblers to get into this game. They think that this is the easiest way of making some of it without working hard but they forget that there is nothing in life that you can get without working hard and struggling. The easily earned money is the one that is usually easily lost. So better not promote this culture of gambling rather stop it.

Even many already know such thing, that whatever outcome came minding still exist. Those who truely devoted in their culture, laws and religion will be the only one who will take the rules by heart and the others will just think that rules didn't exist at all. It will always still depend on us if we will be part of the culture that we should at least be.

Culture will never be ignored. Like if you think someone can have potential to change the whole culture of a country, he is on wrong side of picture. Even governments in different countries are continuously trying to end this game but they are totally failed till now.

In some countries, where religions are against gambling, we can find out so many places for gambling even though. So we are the only ones who can control ourselves.

The gambling seems indeed it can be said as a culture even around the world, because the gambling in all the country and it’s hard to lost as a culture of traditional a tribe of a nation that can not be lost

But wherever it is a cultural element, it is considered as disrespect and dishonesty. In our cultures, this gambling isn’t considered as part of goodwill rather people start hating those who are gambling. Even here in our country, this is law to sentence those people who are caught at any stage being involved in gambling thing. So don’t get near to it rather keep it at arm’s distance.

It is weird. However, it is not a problem of culture, but with the mentality of most people. You can find a Muslim guy who is a gambler, another Atheist guy who also gamble. It is forbidden in Islamic countries because you are earning money without making efforts. In my opinion, you can be religious and a gambler at the same time. Hypocrisy, I know, but if you are in need of money and you are unemployed, then you can resort to gambling.

in my country, although it's strict about gambling, people still playing gambling but with secret and they can play in a secret place without other people knows except the gamblers. but I am not heard any bloody murder in here because I think that the police is trying to hide any illegal things that happen in my country.

Yes, so true..here in my country even in small areas you can see lots of people gambling like in the side walks,I also saw fish vendors playing bingo while they are selling even in wakes people here are used to gamble majong and card games. People in my country found gambling as for fun, I already don't find it weird because I grow up in a place where gambling is everywhere.

Apparently, as technology keeps changing, different ways of gambling keeps popping up and not people can easily gamble in the corner of their room without being spotted. I know in some places gambling can be considered as a culture since they really do not see anything wrong about it and they can easily have their fun with it, but in most cases and countries, it is considered an irresponsible act rather than a culture.

Yes, even blockchain technology seems to make things even a lot easier for a lot of people when it comes to gambling since they can tend to stay at least a little bit anonymous or completely anonymous as the case may be and then the culture most people are imbibing now with all these is to get rich quick and they believe gambling is a way to achieve that.

Most societies though have always seen gambling as an irresponsible act for lazy people since you will still end up losing, so why do it ? You just need to follow the tradition of your countrymen because when you get a reason to stay away from gambling then you must grab that strongly. When that reason is belonging to our culture then the possibilities to come out/stay out is much better.

Admit it or not,gambling is part of the culture of every nation all over the world,even bible mentioned about some gambling activities that happens,just like when Jesus died the soldiers gamble in He's clothing(this is for christian beliefs i respect other religions so i clearing this out)so this means for long time ago this is happening and i think this will never ends,even the catholic church whos consider Gambling as a sin,but accepting donation from Gaming corporation(this is happening in my country i dont know in others)so lets just accept this fact that will never change.

Every country have different culture and rule.

Unfortunlately , my government really strict about gambling activity so you will see less in my country because there are many past incident that turn into bloody murder because of gambling !

But still there is gambling right?because this is part of the culture,and no country in the world that has zero percent gambling i can assure you that

Gambling culture is all same in every part of the world because the definition of gambling does not change however law of doing such a business may differ from state to state. If your government has prohibited this activity in your homeland, count yourself a lucky guy because there is nothing good about this game. It is like a sweet poison, killing the gambler without his awareness.

Well the regulations are mostly for the minors and how the gambling sites and casinos pay their taxes. There can't be any regulation about how much anyone can gamble and how much they can spend. People can break their banks and go on debt. And that has been the case for the longest time so i don't think there can or will be something done about it

There are some countries who certainly do not take gambling as something that is reasonable for anyone to do and hence the strict law against gambling which apparently makes it entirely impossible for anyone to be a part of. However, this does not mean that even at that, some people still do not find a way to gamble once in a while and stay out of the government radar.

The culture though is dependent on how people generally within the society perceive gambling. We cannot expect anything beyond that, I mean gambling for only fun and stopping at right time are the things which may not be covered in most of the traditions as they do gamble for their own reasons and it is individual's responsibility to protect themselves.

Very well, i do agree on your point that gambling is like a sweet poison and we don't know about it because we are only feel its sweet taste and inside it is killing ourself. Although we see government not allow gambling legally but instead of it people play it and if we think that if in all over the world governments allow to play gambling and also include it in our culture then we definitely see a huge people will die because of it.

It is definitely sweet, especially if you are winning and profiting. It doesn't make sense if you didn't profit with it (if you're winning) probably regaining losses. It's definitely hard to control self if you are dependent on it. It is a culture and there are people who make a living out of it.

There are several buildings with the "National Lottery" signs outside in every part of the town where I live. In fact they have nothing to do with the government apart from bribing it maybe. They are not even lotteries but more like computer slot machines where poor people addicted to gambling lose all their money (don't expect provably fairness in places like this ). Although I like online gambling I never set my foot in such places because they are pure rip-off imo. And I wouldn't call gambling a culture. It is more like a weakness, like smoking or like drinking alcohol, you can live with it keeping it within reasonable limits, but if you abuse it it will kill you.

this is a culture, when the country legalizes gambling there, the country will give birth to many gamblers, and for that it will be very profitable to build a gambling company in your country very much different from my country, the prohibition for gambling is very tight, and many gambling sites which is blocked from my country server, but still many gamblers in my country using various ways to access the gambling

So i think that gambling is everywhere. It is played in almost all parts of the world. Even those people who have no knowledge and live far behind times play this game. Actually, it is as old as the human race itself. The reason can be money. No one in this world is unaware of money and gambling is one way for many people to make money. Those people who find it difficult to do work go for such evil. Some also find fun and relief in it too.

why do you say like that? gambling is not a crime, even we can use the income from gambling for good or donate some of our wins to the orphanage. or more, gambling companies are opening up many opportunities for job vacancies for those who are difficult to work and can apply there, even for some people to gamble can entertain them. and gambling is not a crime

[Ikechebelu]

Gambling is actually attractive when you see people that succeed in it but very painful when you are at the losing end. Gamblers are positive minded people and that is why they all go in

Gambling isn't a crime in any sense but you cant blame people if they would say such thing because we do have different insights and perspective towards gambling.It might be a personal reason and we cant blame them but if we do see the general part then gambling isn't a crime yet this is solely an entertainment, the after effects can be considered to be a crime already when you already doing such thing because of your too much addiction.

Our country has regulations for gambling activities too but they are not being strict about that.  We consider playing gambling as a sin already yet many people still play and engaged in this.  Normally,  gambling is not considered as a culture because religion greatly opposed it,  and the cultural norms doesn't agree with what is being done in gambling which is playing with money involved.

Ideally,  having regulations for gambling is good because it lessens gambling activities and helps improve every person's attitude toward using their money for more important things like for themselves and their families.  But in reality, even with regulations and laws about gambling,  people will always find a way to do gambling. Some would even do gambling secretly.

Gambling is good in some places but its illegal is some country. Here in our country gambling is already a culture because you can see people gambling everywhere and a lot of big casinos are being built. Gamblin is not a bad culture its just so happen that people are too greedy to earn money without thinking about how much things they risk just to make small profit.
