Benefits of gambling? Yes - it exists!

[Betwrong]

One of the biggest positives for myself and gambling are the friendships I've made from it.  Formed a lot of good relationships with great people that I wouldn't have if I wasn't involved in gambling.

It really does help stimulate the economy as well by providing jobs, this is something that the gambling naysayers often forget about.

This has been the opposite for me but I still treat it as a lesson. The people who introduced me to gambling were very nice to me initially. After, I joined with their referral links , they even stopped visiting me. I have seen fake people approaching me for friendship and then dropping referral links to various sites.

However, what you are saying might be true for physical casinos.

This is true not only for land based casinos. I've made a lot of friends through online gambling, dozens of friends. Although we never meet in real life we chat frequently on various gambling sites or on related forums. Btw I've never joined any site with their referral links neither they've done it with mine. I think ref links "friends" is another story and maybe that's why you were unlucky with them. You can meet some really interesting personalities in the chat rooms on gambling sites and expand your horizons by talking with them. No kidding, try it.

Its a business like every other, I would call it entertainment related.    Its unfortunate if they do overtax it but the method I've seen used is to tax gambling profits at a flat rate related to revenue streams within that business.  That way the government gets its regular contribution from the industry and the company itself can easily plan the accounts.

Theres nothing especially bad about gambling where as the alcohol industry can cause ill health, there is so much money poured into clubs and other retail outlets for alcohol which is essentially a luxury unneeded resource in an economy.  Yet these businesses are the most stable in a recession.   Since the government has to balance its books and pay its debt interest no matter what they should especially value gambling as a slow and steady reliable backer for government income flows

I am not agree with the fact that gambling is a business or profession. It do not require any basic knowledge or education, or even do not need any specific skill therefore it is not good to call it a business or profession. It is a game and is in fact a money game, you have chance to make money from it or even can lose your own in no time.

Yes, you are correct about that, Gambling does have a lot of benefits, but there are also downsides with gambling, and some gamblers out there know it, it may benefit the economy, but first things first, will it give you benefits as well? I know that it is entertaining, and yeah you can earn while enjoying the game, but as this continues to happen addiction comes along to you as well, it's like a drug perhaps, addiction is dangerous, addiction can actually lead you to stupid decisions, and that is why I don't think that gambling will only bring out positive things, there are its side effects as well.

I myself cannot see any benefit of ambling, most of the people play gambling for making money, but I think few people may be succeeded in their aims, while the rest of the people lose their own money that they have put for playing gambling, in fact the chances of losing money in gambling is more high than making money from gambling.

Yes if they play for making money you are right. But what about playing for the entertainment and fun of it, without other motives like wanting to become rich? It makes it a positive - I would argue.

Indeed gambling has benefits that includes fun and recreation, also can increase self confidence if you win a game. It exercises the brain and makes a creative mind. Some study says older recreational gamblers seem to be healthier than non-gamblers. It boosts their social aspects and maintains an active life together with friends.

Increasing self-confidence if you win a game is like setting yourself on a suicide mission because you will end up losing everything at the end anyway. One thing you want to do is to fix your mind to the idea that you are bound to lose everything if care is not taken, and the fact that you got lucky today does not mean you will get lucky tomorrow since it is not like all the luck is meant to be for you.

If you want to have huge fun, exercise the brain and gain confidence on something very realistic, then gambling should not even be the first on your list or possibly not be on your list at all.

I don't think it's a matter of placing gambling as number 1 on your list, provided that you have control of yourself to not be emotional in playing because that will only make you lose all your money later. that big risk makes fun of gambling not replace with other games. the most important thing is not to get out of control, if you really want to have fun from gambling then allocate special funds, don't gamble more than the funds you allocate

Playing the dice game is a great way to pass the time, and if you play it conservatively you cant lose all your money.
Its nice that I can roll the dice and only risk a few cents- instead of when I bet sports and there is a few mbtc minimum (chance to lose more).

Totally agree that you get more playtime for your money, but i think a lot of players like the thrills of playing slots with Crypto and hope to get to the bonus rounds where they can get up to 1000x bet.  But of course its also a really easy way to loose your money fast. however you should never bet for more money than you can afford to loose.

That last part says it all. Everyone can decide to have their own reason for gambling, which a lot of people are doing it for the possibility of winning some huge money at the end, some because they said they want to have some fun and so on and so forth.
What is important is to understand that as long as gambling is concerned, the chances of losing is still pretty high and better to keep that at the back of the mind than getting to find out the hard way.

In as much as people can understand that last part and put it at the back of their mind, I guess we will end up having a sane world of gambling. I know a lot of fun can be had in real casinos anyway to discard the mentality of winning at all cost, but for online gambling, I would say it is not necessarily the case.

A lot of people have ended up finding it the hard way because they could not control themselves and that is where the main problem starts for them. So, in a way, benefit can only be applicable to those who really are having fun, the casino owners and the government.

Look I have been here for so long time and following all such comments regarding gambling. The positivity and negativity that revolves around this game and all harms and profits associated with it. But brother for the first time I just saw a comment that is full of positivity. You seem so satisfied with friendships you have made from gambling but what about loss that you must have had in your tenure?

In very beginning I do not know that how but it is a fact that they make money.  For example when I was very new in gambling, on very first day whie playing  dice game online I made about 2000$, and I think that it was really a big profit for me, but after that I think that in next two weeks I thik that I lost more than 20000$ but still even I know that I cannot make money from gambling I like to continue and still after every lost I want to quit my gambling activities for ever but I never succeeded.

The other reason why other addicted people are not quitting gambling even if they are losing is because of this kind of post. I'm not saying that it is bad, but I hope you know guys that posting positive things about gambling could be bad for others, not all of us who tried gambling always win, sadly it is the other way around. Even though there are still reminders you have said that it depends on how we are going to understand the risk we are facing in gambling, still, it is not enough for someone to win in gambling.

Benefits in gambling only existed to those who are winning, or who are lucky playing gambling, but it is a curse to those people who joined gambling just because of a mindset that he could win, he could do what other could do(which is to win in gambling)

Well, you can never take that away from someone, the possibility of earning/winning a high amount of money. Or the fact that you can win when you continue to gamble, which a matter of fact, is not true. That's just how gambling works and I think it's not always a good thing especially when abused. Probably, what I think of is that when you gamble, it's due to the possibility "the mindset" like you said. That's scary when the person is addicted.

I agree with you about making friendship, I think it also helps being patient.

making a friendship is one of the benefits in the gambling game in online gambling or offline gambling. but for being patient, it will depend on personal because we can be patient if we want to try and learn about how to be patient. I think we can get another benefit in gambling which is we can make a rule about limiting the money and try to obey the limit money that we use in gambling so we can prevent a big loss.

Actually gambling can makes people become unpatient though, people want doubling their money fast on gambling and bet randomly to get more profits.

[happistarjp]

Gambling is definitely a form of entertainment for me, for instance playing Multi-Wheel Roulette Gold puts me in a good mood whenever I'm playing especially if I'm winning big bucks!

Nothing like being patient when it comes to gambling as what is mostly important is to accept your fate of losing even before you start the game and that would make you to gamble what you can afford to lose anyway.

Benefits of gambling to me would be more applicable to the casino owners and not for gamblers except for those who were able to have some heavy luck and smart enough to win a huge amount of money and cart away with it without acting stupid to lose it over again.

Yeah it's a negative influence, people are more accustomed to getting big and instant profits, so that when their jobs give small
income they will get angry and maybe get out of their jobs and focus on gambling, gambling has bad side effects

True! So many times in social gatherings when you tend to meet a lot of new faces, play together on certain games, you get to familiarize yourself with people like this and can help you connect with them socially which we all know such connection might be of help in the long run.

You would really be surprised at some interesting people you will get to meet in casinos which are something that can also be used as an incentive or benefit for gamblers asides fun. Making money from gambling should not even be a thing to think about.

Hum interesting game, i will probabily give it a try thanks.

Same as me when i play normal Roulette game or any sort out of the box dice one.

I am not agree with the fact that gambling is a business or profession. It do not require any basic knowledge or education

Gambling and luck based games relate to statistics and probability which is a form of mathematics going back hundreds of years.   I studied it in college, its definitely a valid logically built business style.   It might not be how people play it but a business can certainly stop to analyse and structure their regular games to feature games that are profitable while also giving a chance to win far larger amounts then the stakes given by customers.    A simple lottery is very commonly operated by many local governments as its quite predictable and seen as a social activity, the other more varied games relate similarly

Seriously? You learn gambling in campus, maybe your country does legalize casino gambling or anything else maybe?
If that is the case then there is indeed a point if there is a section for analyzing in gambling and it is indeed related to math-related calculations, but not all countries legalize gambling and not all campuses have a gambling curriculum. But by having a lot of friends in gambling, I can also conclude if the gambling is indeed enough to be an additional income if they consistently win gambling and I have many friends like that, so gambling is not entirely detrimental, because there are still many people who take advantage of gambling, so gambling can be said to be a profession and business too.

[STT]

Legalise gambling as concept doesnt even add up in my reckoning.   Risk is a normal natural phenomena, calculating the odds of future occurrence based on previous event and known factors again is just a regular calculation.    To outlaw the idea of an unknown event being waged on two opposing parties just seems nonsense, its normal business.  

Every farmer who grows a crop is taking a vast risk.  He must account for the agricultural factors behind each crop he hopes to sell, then on top of that he has to hope the market itself wants to buy the crop at a reasonable price that gives a profit or least pays the costs.
Gambling is a game because it removes the work and long form maths from it and merely presents the gamble as a game.     I can understand regulating various actions people might take like borrowing money to gamble, that can be a bad idea but its foolish to try to stop the idea of risk any more then a government can stop the rain.

Accustomed in getting bug and instant profits? You are like saying that peoplr or gamblers are used in winning great money pots but it dont really happen that easily. People are being envious of people that are rich and won a lot of money in gambling.

The reason they are real desperate to win is because they are comfortable to what they hve. Most of the gamblers also tends to be the easy-go-lucky types that just wants to go YOLO in life without any real plans and rely on luck.

then they will get lost all of their money because they cannot get fast money in gambling games except fast loss. we learn many things about gambling and we know that gambling games are the fastest way to lose our money. but there will be another benefit of gambling like I said and making friends just one of the benefits. maybe you can just visit on the gambling games without placing the bets and you only want to talk with other people and say hello to them.

[Nahl]

Regardless from the list on OP but in my view benefits of gambling only belongs to people who can control their emotions and desire while gambling with avoid to being an addicted but gambling will have negative impact to those who can't control their emotions and being an addicted but i think people will always be consider gambling as bad habit
