Benefits of gambling? Yes - it exists!

[Supercrypt]

This won't help mate as most of the people here will have an expected feed back. Although we already know that there's benefit in gambling but otherwise we don't have the same feathers.
"Gambling is not good" , "gambling is harmful" etc.

No doubt gambling is bad, gambling is harmful and there are many bad effects of gambling on the whole. Gambling is beneficial for those who are experts and they know the tricks to win the bet. They can make big money in seconds, while other who has no or very little experience of gambling can lose all their money. Gambling is good only for experts.

Except maybe you are playing poker and which still do come with a bit of luck, there is actually nothing or no one called experts in gambling. The only thing that makes you a sane gambler is when you know you to use your reasoning alongside your gambling activity.

Those who know the possibilities of losing in gambling is pretty high, usually do not try to gain something from it and the only thing they can consider gaining is fun while paying for it, unless they just get lucky to win something good and with that kind of mentality, it helps them to not lose focus.

There are those who play for entertainment and in a way, it may be considered as "gain". It gives them some sort of fulfillment or sense of satisfaction after having won a few times. Even while it is risky or that there is a high chance of losing your money, the fulfillment one gains from gambling is beneficial for others. Many keep on pointing out how bad gambling is and gambling is usually associated to negativity but we can see some benefits from it by looking at it with a different perspective.

Well it's always been a fact that gambling isn't just something that could ruin your life. The points you've mentioned are basically all legit given that the gambler's attitude is correct. If you do it the right way, these benefits would come to you.

It’s the biggest consequence of gambling in my opinion and it never do anything else besides this thing that is to ruin somebody’s life. I don’t see any right way which you can follow so that the benefits and profits of gambling come to you. I think no matter how the gambler conducts the gambling, at the end he comes back empty handed and no such benefits are seen with him. 

This is nonsense and I never believe that gambling has benefits too. I can count the deficits of gambling rather than benefits. The worst thing in gambling is that it is the mother of crimes and almost every addicted gambler is also criminal and he does illegal things for his addiction. There is no positive attitude and no right way to use your attitude.

As my experience, most of gambling activity has high risk !
Let's take a look on math when I have learned at school , explain that the chance of loss are greater than winning so it's difficult to find people who got rich because of gambling ( for who able to rich from gambling, they already overcome the risk ! )

They didn't overcome the risk even if they play next time there is no chance that they can win so it all depends on luck so we can't expect to be a millionaire by gambling alone.

What is even there to overcome in the first place ?
The risk is there, and the only thing that can make anyone not end up being susceptible to the craziness that the risk brings is just by being reasonable, realistic and principled. A lot of people look at the benefit they get from gambling the most which is from winning and then they discard the most important thing that is applicable mostly to gambling which is losing and with that they set themselves in a blazing torch that is hard to quench at the end.

I agree with the idea that those legal gambling places or huge casinos that can contribute to governments taxes. Aside from this the only positive thing it gives me is money, rarely give me money. Honestly, im more prone to lost than to win. I can consider entertainment because i usually gamble specially when im bored.

Gambling really contribute in one economy especially when those giants casinos paying the correct taxes which I think is still possible. There's a good benefits of gambling but if you told it to other people they will see negative things on that. Gambling is a way to entertain yourself while there is a money involve, make sure you understand the risk of it.

It does help the government when they get the tax being paid by this casinos if assumed they pay correctly. It is a great source of revenue as people form other countries will also come to gamble like for example Macau where majority of the income of government comes from the taxes collected from casinos only.

No doubt governments take much more taxes from gambling casinos than other institutes present in their country because people are in great ration who love to play gambling and son the casinos keep on going for the whole year and can’t even close their casino for a day or so because they will get great loss if they will do so. Eve gambling is considered a negative thing but still governments can close casinos.

Yeah! It’s totally true that the government takes much more taxes from these casinos than other institutes like you said and the main reason behind this fact is the users the gambling is having with it. Every activity can be stopped but can never ever be stopped because a lot of people are attached with it very closely and if the gambling would be stopped or removed, these people would die.

Huh what are you even saying , you learned maths in school so gambling is risky wtf

Gambling isn't risky if you gamble only once on a particular, if you continue to gamble with the same account for a long time you will lose, either make another account or switch sites , this surely doesn't guarantee profit but gives you a fair luck

I think your response is very rudimentary. Everything related to gambling is a risky thing and that is a fact that happens !! Gambling games should not be done, let alone for the purpose of earning income. Theoretically that luck can not be ascertained and I assume that gamblers just wasted their money and time. Believe that gambling is a bad thing, therefore when we are already on the path of addiction then we must be prepared to accept the destruction in our lives

Today evening, I was spending some free time by surfing various websites. Suddenly a website caught my attention which talks about the benefits of gambling. I was surprised because negative thoughts about gambling is so common, but positive thoughts are rare to find. So I went ahead and read the entire article. The article actually talks about the positive sides of gambling which I believe everyone should know and it made a lot of sense to me!

The article lists 7 points as the benefits of gambling:
1. Gambling Stimulates Local Economies
2. Gambling Is a Form of Entertainment
3. Gambling Can Take Place in a Safe Environment
4. You Could Win
5. Gambling Contributes to Government Budgets
6. Gambling Creates New Forms of Revenue
7. Gambling is a Form of Game Play

The article is actually a tight slap on the popular belief that "gambling is harmful to the society". So I encourage everyone on this forum to read the article and understand it, especially the non-gamblers! Gambling is not a fools-heaven, it's just another business and an opportunity to the gamblers! Hope this article would clear your mind!

I was on the points 2 and 4. Where you have a chance to win and earn through gambling at the same time you enjoy your money when betting. I know gambling was only chances that gives a win to those lucky people, it also proves that people enjoy killing the time through it.

They can make big money in seconds, while other who has no or very little experience of gambling can lose all their money. Gambling is good only for experts.

I also believe this is true, but the problem is gambling is a form of competition, and humans will always be competitive. Whilst there is one human who thinks he is better than another, a gambling type circumstance will always form. e.g. I bet you I can do this, and you can't. It's only natural that systems form around this trait to make it easier to wager.

Benefits is that you can easily while your time, you can get many beverages to eat in casinos, if you win then it is bonus as you everything else you are getting is free and do not have to spend and above that if you win is like you are the luckiest of them all as mostly people will lose money. Also you can make some good buddies as well.

Definitely, you can gain new friends in gambling. It is a stress reliever and serve as an entertainment.The luckiest part of gambling is when you win and go home with big income for your family.

Hahaha I mean really? Do you really think of gambling as good place just to find good friends and have fun? Don’t you think it is more evil than this little goodness? If you are still thinking of gambling as good source of entertainment, however people are being ruined through it, I salute you for being such an enormous ignorant of team. You all must know the reality hidden in there.

I am unable to understand that what do you mean by you can easily while your time. Does it really make any sense? Come on man I think you don’t even have the lightest notion about the benefits of gambling. Beverages are present in gambling casinos but you have to pay for them if you want and these beverages never become free for the gambler who wins because this portion is not linked with casino.

As long as it is responsible, crypto is a gamble in a way as well.

I strongly agree if we explore more deeply in addition to the negative impact of gambling some positive impacts or arguably gambling turns out there are benefits only people think almost everything negative about gambling.

[TheGreatPython]

I find 5 and 6 completely irrelevant. I couldn't care less about the government benefiting from my loss.
Is gambling a good thing? Of course! It has its  benefits the most important being 2 and 4. It's entertaining and it gives you a chance to win with this chance being rather high in some games like poker.

Lol. Well, even if you not care, one way or the other, the activity kind of helps the economy. However, I totally agree that the most thing here for a gambler is the fact that you could have some fun if you choose to, and out of catching the fun, you can really make a huge amount of money, but not something to be focused on too much. That is where a lot of people end up catching up with the negative effect of it as they focus more on the winning aspect than the entertainment aspect.

[wildan88]

but unfortunately, the benefits of gambling for ourselves does not exist, because the fact gambling just makes me addicted, and lost a lot of money.
It's my experience that's been playing gambling for a few years. even gambling could not make me a lot of money. but in other ways, I can make a lot of money.

It's really unfortunate that you can't control your emotions and greed. I am sorry to say this, because if you are confident that you can make a lot of money in other ways, why don't you do that? If you consider yourself an addicted gambler, go get a professional help to come out of this addiction. If you don't want to come out of this addiction, you never will. The desire to come out of this addiction should come from inside, then only someone can help you to come out of this. But don't blame or de-frame an entire industry for your own mistakes. People aren't gonna buy that!

One of the main benefit of gambling is that the economy of the country can get an additional income item and at the same time all owners of this business will also be in an excellent position. The flow of financial interest from this sphere of business will be able to close some holes in the state budget. Thus, it will be possible for some countries to reduce the amount of money held in the International Monetary Fund.

I like your thoughts on this thread, whenever someone is talking about gambling they are generally talking about the negatives of gambling and not always thinking about the good sides of it. In my opinion I believe when you gamble it trains you how to take risks in life. This could train your brain that risks aren’t always a bad thing and that have good reward if you take “smart risks”.

if we look in that direction, gambling has a side where it is a reflection of ourselves, the more we are greedy. already on make sure our lives will be destroyed, so walk is simple. never target anything big without thinking long.

Correct, maybe they could only say positive about gambling because they have just started and not loses that much, but if they will begin to think what coulfd happen to them in the long run, if they will continue losing, for sure they will start badmouthing gambling, they will start being negative about it, and the best thing that could happen is that they will finally quit gambling for good.

that's why we have to have experience in gambling, because gambling requires a great strategy, time and emotion. if these three things have been mastered. it will be very easy to deal with every situation at the time of gambling.

For me the important benefits of gambling is that it is a source of entertainment and with the current online casino a person can get the entertainment of these casino from their room and they do not need to go far away from their home to enjoy the life of these casino.
Nowadays people are too much busy and it this busy life if they will try for any enjoyment then these online casinos will help them.

Yes, I also agree with you that gambling has benefits given to the gamblers.We have to take two sides this time. Well negative is also present but try to think of what is the positive given at the same time. Gambling is a source of recreational activity and with better luck a good source of income too.Gambling can give us lesson to be smart and strategical person.

It is true that some governments are corrupted and people should not rely on it. But some politicians really have good intentions and want their country to be great. However, they cannot afford to do that. With the help of gambling, they can manage to improve many things. My point is you should not generalize. Not all people are bad. Personally, I believe that everything has its advantages as well as drawbacks. That is why people should know where they put their feet on.

Indeed, gambling is beneficial somehow not on individual but in the othet way like on economy. When we heard gambling the only things comes to our mind is bad but it is not. For instance, there are some government use gambling in a good way like if there's no one wins it will be use for their projects development. However, there are still some people use gambling just for profit and I think that is bad because most of them doesn't want us to win so they lower the chance of winning.

How can you expect good returns from gambling when you already know that this is based on evil thing? Your life would be reluctant you would never be going to earn big profits from this game. You already know that if you invest in this gambling, things would become harsh and you would be losing everything in there. Mind yourself and give respect to your hard earned money.

I never think of any benefit of gambling because I think that gambling is a bad thing and it has no benefits. The benefits are only for casinos owners and not for gamblers, because almost every gambler loses his money when he continues gambling. Can anyone tell exactly what are the benefits, because as I know it will leave you in debts, make you abnormal, ruin your family life etc.
