Benefits of gambling? Yes - it exists!

[rickadone]

If this gambling is restricted with much compliance and concern to only limit of games and enjoyment then it is okay. But still you must see whether your religion is allowing you and your state is allowing you to legally play this game. If it is so, then next big step you must take is control of your mind. How strong you are that you can resist the addiction in best possible way.

Yes, for someone who is indeed actually and truthfully gambling for fun which sometimes I wonder where the fun comes into play most especially for online gambling, we may actually say they may get the some of the benefits mentioned by the OP even though most of the benefits actually go to the casinos and the government anyway.

Gamblers are bound to lose money every time, and careless gamblers are bound to lose even more, which makes the whole idea of benefit sucks anyway since you can get those benefits from somewhere else without having to gamble.

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.

Well, I hope you get the best from the dice you roll and at the same time know that nothing is guaranteed and most of the time, losing is even more guaranteed no matter how you think you are smart enough to tweak the mechanism, because the house edge are absolutely not stupid as far as I am concerned. It is gambling, and nothing else, and attaching a lot to it and expecting the best from it is what has made a lot of people turned to addicts as they could no longer control the emotions anymore.

Gamblers are bound to lose money every time, and careless gamblers are bound to lose even more, which makes the whole idea of benefit sucks anyway since you can get those benefits from somewhere else without having to gamble.

But the idea of being relaxed without at least having to one way or the other think about the money you are losing is only something you can achieve in a traditional casino since you will have people to gist with, you can at least do other fun stuffs and so on, but that does not still mean that the benefit that is there mostly is far lower than the disadvantages that is available when it comes to gambling and that also depends a lot on each individual as well.

Yeah, gambling also helps the economy of such country with a legal papers to conduct it. I do agree that gambling helps us to make friends since gambling is socializing with others, teammate or against with. As well as giving jobs to some people like a card dealer, cashier, checker etc. let us see what the gambling can make not focusing on what losing can do to us.

I am not so sure about it. In my country they have been so greedy in taxing services and players that they just moved abroad. So no taxes for now.

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

Good to know that you were able to make some friends from gambling platforms. Yeah I have made some friends too but, from my experience it's not good to involve money in this 'online' friendship. Don't give loans or ask them. It's better to keep the friendship away from that.

Government could get a fair amount as tax from gambling. Sadly, my country doesn't allow any type of gambling activities except for some states. yet, underground illegal gambling worth billions. If government could regulate it, that would really help the economy.

This is just the same situation as my country. In fact, gambling was an illegal activity when I was kid but everything changed when I started to get in Elementary School. The government decided to put gambling as an illegal activity while in fact they earned so much money from the tax and it helped the economic condition of the country. Obviously, the government lost one of the biggest income from the gambling tax but of course people could not do anything except accepting the rules.

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?

If the context is about taxing gambling, I think this would be so worst and most weird step by government of that country. Actually these politicians and state is our beneficiary. They must try to adopt policies and legislate them in a way that is hundred percent suitable for us and for our society. While gambling haven’t any connection with these golden words. So never legalize gambling.

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!

Yes, it has a lot of benefits but it also has a disadvantage to those who already addicted into it. Being addicted in gambling cannot make you get benefited because in my opinion there is always a big chance for them to lose a lot of money. Not all the time we need to think on a positive side of gambling because maybe those who are saying positive things about gamblingb is a trap for you to play with their site. 

Yes that is right that there are some benefits of gambling games but it is also a fact that a lot of drawbacks of gambling games are there. I personally know about a lot of people who have already lost a lot money in gambling, I think that gambling is also too much risky and more chances are to lose money in gambling games.

Government always there for the welfare of the people, no doubt that your government may be might be collecting a big money from gambling through taxes, but it is also a fact that gambling  has already ruined the life of some many people so may be for stopping people to ruin their life in gambling your government has taken that step.

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.

[SpringfieldM1A]

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.

I guess that is just right since if there are a lot of gamblers in your country, instead of banning those gambling sites or casinos, government will just find a way to let those gamblers gamble and them having some advantages like getting good taxes to them. They are gambling, and those casinos earn while the country is getting good profit for it's development and it's improvement.

the risk of losing money in gambling is already very familiar to everyone. for some people who are accustomed to gambling, they certainly get many benefits and can help their economic system, so that the positive side of gambling can only be felt by people who are already accustomed to gambling

Some of the points you mentioned are reckless.

4. You Could Win

That depends on how trained you are and how you treat gambling. Also there are chances to Loose.

5. Gambling Contributes to Government Budgets

Gambling has been declared Illegal in most of the countries and also there is no point of vambling contributing to the government budget as most of the funds used in gambling are in the form of Black Money.

Gambling can be treated as a mean of entertainment and also most of the peoples earn good revenues in gambling but it dosent mean that gambling is 100% beneficial. Point of view for gambling depends on each individual's thinking.

[yanixbtc]

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.
