Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea?

[avikz]

I always have a mindset that gambling is fun and entertaining, I used to played for profit but now I played for entertained myself, I like to share my point of view about gambling, but I afraid when I introduce gambling to someone who cant control himself or herself then it can become a problem, and I can become the one that make him/her become addicted

So in one my hand I'd like people to enjoy gambling but in one hand I afraid it can turned into disaster and I could the person that cause the person become addicted, so I kind of confused when someone come and asked me to teach or explained thing about gambling, should I teach them or I just ignore them? How can I teach or convince them that gambling is only for fun? Is it a wrong idea to teach or convince them to gamble for fun?

Providing information to create awareness is always a good idea and you should not stop yourself from doing so. So if someone asks you to tech gambling,  you can always go ahead with the request to make someone aware of it. However, Your worries make sense as you don't want anyone to become addicted with it. So don't become proactive in teaching. Teach someone only if he/she asks for it and let them know that you hold no responsibility if it turns into a disaster for themselves. This way you won't have any repercussions in future!

Repercussions will only come if you proactively teach someone about gambling. For this same reason, I don't advice anyone to invest in bitcoin. A lot of my colleagues asked me about the blockchain and bitcoin and I have given them a fair overview. But never advised them to invest in it. Same goes for gambling as well. You share knowledge but you can't really control how another person will use that knowledge!

I think it depends on the people. If for example, the people are already involved in gambling then this may not be that crazy but if they're new to gambling then yes because its a bad influence on them.

I understand your point OP cause it crystal clear that you don't want to do something which will later regret but I want you to know that there's nothing bad in teach someone how to gamble and the first thing to have to teach the person is the certain rules which gambling entails in other for the person not to be addicted.


Edit : thanks for the merit

[mikyadel]

i would stay on the safe side and just ignore anybody who wants to know about gambling , because even if they didn't get addicted in it at first , they will once they win anything and then they will blame you for that ! it's just the human nature.
if they keep asking you about gambling,then a little advice on how to enjoy it won't hurt.

[mostkey]

I think only to share knowledge and experience is nothing wrong, but trying to give everything to themselves is very dangerous if you continue to convince them that it will be very risky to your status in their eyes, still not doing anything if gambling makes you very happy, so doing it yourself, of course, is privacy today, only certain people can follow in your footsteps.

Telling your gambling experience to someone isnt bad and its up to their choice if they would do the same thing after you do told them. They cant blame you if they got addicted yet its their own decision to engage with gambling and choose to be addicted with it if they dont have the strong control and discipline to themselves but one thing would always bother us is our conscience on where it do keeps on knocking us that friend of ours do mess out his life because we do introduce gambling to him even though he didnt blamed you but the feeling that you are the responsible why he suffer do really affects us. Therefore if you do think these way then better not to share up.

The last person whom I took to a casino and introduced her to the slot machine ended up developing a serious gambling addiction that lasted for many years. There's no way that I'll be introducing anyone else to any gambling games after that. I don't want to be responsible for what may happen.

Yes.Sharing some of your personal views is not that bad as long as you do not let him cross from his limits.Gambling is really an entertaining game if you treat it just for fun.But when you start seeing gambling as a means for living,that's when it started to be dangerous.

In that respect as described above, I do not think is dangerous to teach someone gambling games and how to play, i see it more like spreading knowledge and doing a good deed though the rest remains up to the learner.

On the other hand, of course you're the one to blame. If you didn't introduce gambling into someone, he/she won't get addicted. In the first place, you know that gambling is very addictive and could destroy someones life and you still introduce it to someone. Not unless he ask, then no one should be blame but himself.

Gambling may be profitable for a person how to handle his gambling activities.But if you convince him to gamble because it will give a quick profit,then that is not absolutely true.For all i know,gambling does not give us good returns,it only happens maybe in our lucky days.

[CryptoGamblingSites]

It's generally a good rule to only warn people on the risks they could run into and not make recommendations.

Gambling with shady sites or people who will take your money and run is obviously something to warn people about.

As to "strategy" for gambling or what games are best, that is always different for different people.

[ralle14]

Is it a wrong idea to teach or convince them to gamble for fun?

It's not, there's nothing wrong in teaching someone how to gamble because drinking alcohol and playing video games can be addicting too. A year ago I taught one of my friends how to gamble after he asked which gambling sites I used because I always brag my winnings to them. Every time we had a conversation I always remind him about the risks but he didn't listen to my advice then greed caught up to him until he lost a lot of his money. Eventually he did stop after I gave him a small loan which I considered a donation.

As long as you don’t treat it as an investment, probably you would have more profitable/lucky days ahead. I just noticed that when I gamble. When I really want to just win, I lose but when I just chill and take it slowly, I win consecutively. I don’t know if anyone else does it but it works for me.

[Caladonian]

The problem is how can you control people's mindset, yeah you can endorse them that gambling can be possibly a source of fun and they can use it to spare time, but considering that gambling is also an addicting form of vices no one can control what inside other peoples capabilities handling such thing, well if you are willing to take the responsibilities when someone you know got addicted and burned everything inside  gambling activity, for sure you don't want that to happen better to kept this inside you.

When a person asks you about gambling then you should tell them the effects of gambling first instead of how you can get entertainment or quick money from these gambling games. Entertainment can get from many other ways so if possible should avoid gambling because at the beginning these games are very tempting if one either win or lose money. So you should advise people try to avoid gambling if they don't know but if you already experienced then they know when to stop gambling and how much they can spend money on each gambling session.

In fact, gambling is not advisable to do because it can be cause harmful effect to people especially those people that can't controlled themselves while they playing.  In gambling, there are a large number of people that can't stop playing it and they never meant the looses that they gain while they playing and there are some cases that even if their own houses and businesses are lost because of it.  However, gambling is giving us fun but the most important when we doing it is we know how to controlled and limit ourselves therefore we can avoid from any losses or destruction it may serves to us.

[Indamuck]

Everyday we are persuaded with advertisements on what to buy, advice on how to live, and propaganda to influence our decisions.  Ultimately the choices fall on ourselves.  It's easy to blame others but I think we need to take responsibility for ourselves.

As long as it's not malicious, I see no problem convincing someone to have a good time even if a small percentage might see it as unethical.

[leowonderful]

I personally wouldn't convince someone to consider gambling because of the risks involved for whoever you're trying to convince. I'd feel extremely guilty if someone that I invited to try gambling became addicted, and it's all too common for someone to become addicted to gambling and leave their life in shambles, and you don't know how they're going to react to gambling for the first time, and whether they'll be responsible or not, even if you tell them about the risks they might still become addicted.

It's a bit like people giving advice about the law on the internet, but giving a disclaimer that they're not a lawyer and not responsible for whatever happens as a result of the advice being followed.

this is everyone's right, when inviting is one of our awards as a friend I don't think it is a problem, because gambling has no top priority and anyone can join.
