Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea?

[Janation]

It's hard to not get addicted on gambling. When you convince a person that new on gambling and he won the first 1-2 bets, he will think "wow it's easy to earn money here" then he will bet again and when he lose, he will bet more and more.

That is the reason why we should not really convince other people saying that it is a good thing to do since  gambling can not only give you a money problem but also a mental disorder.

Most of the gambling addicts I know just try gambling for the first time trying out their luck and did not know that they are addicted to gambling. Who would not want to earn easily just by betting your money though it do not happen.

The thing is that people are different, what is good for some is bad for others. You are right in theory. Indeed, it is better to go hiking with your family instead of gambling online. But in reality, some people don't have a family, others live in such places that hiking is not an option. And for some people hiking with their family would be more stressful experience than their regular job from which they supposedly should be relaxing.

I get that and sometimes you just don't want to go home because work has become the new "home" to you and your house is just a place where you're constantly being pressured and annoyed by the people you are supposed to love. I guess if you do have that, you should go out with friends instead which you can filter. We were born with certain family members and you can never change that fact for the rest of your life. Friends, on the other hand, you can choose who you want to befriend. Choose someone that destresses you or helps you relax more.

That is not so easy to accomplish. Normally, if you can't find common ground with your family, I mean with your wife and kids, because those people are supposed to be the closest to you, you will hardly find common ground with your friends either. But if you are talking about relationships with your parents then I agree with you, only I propose to find a wife/husband rather than friends. Try to be friends with your wife, convince her to enjoy gambling (like I did), and have fun together. Convincing your wife to enjoy gambling isn't a wrong idea imo. As long as you know the limits of course.

How is it that not finding common grounds with your wife and kids would mean you won't be finding common grounds with your friends? Like I said, the difference between family and friends is that you can choose your friends. This means that you can just be in a social gathering for people like you and everyone there will have common grounds with you. Pretty much why gamblers go to casino, to socialize with people like them, people they have common grounds with.

I really would rather find a new hobby or adopt to my wife's hobby instead of dragging her into gambling which we know is very expensive and risky. I can't afford to have her addicted in gambling since we share common funds and her losses would be my losses too.

I know that in some cultures your wife is chosen for you by your family, but where I live we can freely choose the woman we will spend our life with. Normally, this woman understands you better than your friends or other relatives, and it is much better to spend your free time with her than with others. Maybe it's a question of preferences and we will never agree on anything here, but please understand that not all the people live in the same conditions.

Regarding your notion that gambling is very expensive and risky I disagree as well. It depends on how you do it and what do you expect from it. Gambling together with your wife can be fun. I'm talking from my personal experience.

I am glad to hear that you have fun time gambling with your wife and are enjoying your life my friend but if we talk on general basis or gambling itself, I don’t think that your wife or anyone can change the destructive nature of this game. It is a random luck based activity. However, if your motive is to crack some good time and build few memories, it can be an entertainment indeed.

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?

I think convincing other people to play gambling is a wrong idea because he might get addicted with if he started to get greedy in his winnings, even you teach him for fun he might still get into greed.

I totally agree with you. The very nature of winning something is addictive and whilst its good to h ave fun while playing its also dangerous because you could associate that particular pleasure only through playing and nothing else which becomes problematic.

Right.So i suggest to stop convincing people to do gambling even how profitable or fun gambling is.Maybe in your part gambling has made you so enjoyable but it might be different into some other people.They may see it frustrating because they have not gain any profits from it but only big losses.

It might not be the best thing to do but definitely, it's how it shouldn't work. You are influencing someone that has the probability of getting addicted, even if it's a person of composure. Sometimes you will never know, they are the ones who easily gets addicted. If you think about it, people who lose something, wants to get it back and that's how gambling continues in my opinion.

It's hard to not get addicted on gambling. When you convince a person that new on gambling and he won the first 1-2 bets, he will think "wow it's easy to earn money here" then he will bet again and when he lose, he will bet more and more.

The biggest problem that is associated with gambling is psychology. These casino owners know it very well that how these people can be attracted and trapped in their game. When someone visits any casino for fun or internment purpose, they want to hit him with tremendous profits and winning without doing anything extra ordinary. That is the moment when minds get distraction.

I would definitely not "convince" anyone to gamble.  Gambling advertisements for betting sites is already everywhere during sport broadcasts, so mentioning really good sites that you have personal experience with to people who are looking for this information should be okay.  Most gambling sites have some sort of declaimer that gambling is for fun and your should be prepared to loose, and links to gambling help sites.  So if you introduce or convince someone to gamble this information must be shared I think, along with local gambling help links/organizations.   

[onrise]

Gambling is for fun dont make its serious for you not make more looses.Play only when your bored and want for having fun.Live with or without gamblinv to make not being addicted on it.

The reason for addiction is due to making money or want it to become a source of income from gambling creates all the problem and thus it is very wrong as youngsters who cannot control their emotions or do not have disciple will get trapped and will lose their money easily.

[hilawnasaging]

It really depends on the people who you convince with. If the they are open minded and willing to give it a try, well lucky for you. If not, be ready for a ton of words that might hurt your feelings. Gambling is still thought to be a bad habit in terms of hobbies. In this type of world we live in, we cannot easily change the minds of the people around us. Just because it is good for you doesn't mean that it is good for the others. But, you convince people in a good way, not harming them or 'stepping them on their ego', basically people will have an idea that there is still good in gambling. So be really careful when you are asking out people to join you.

[Hazaki]

Convincing people to enjoy gambling isn't wrong , convincing people to start gambling because they'll enjoy it is wrong .
One is just giving advice to someone who is already invested in gambling and is already on track, that person could be already addicted or just playing it for fun and probably wasting a lot of money .
Another is getting someone into an activity that can ruin his life and turn it into a living hell .
But generally , someone who is not enjoying gambling is an addict that should get help because he will eventually be ruined emotionally and can have his life torn up so convincing him to quit it is much better than convincing him to enjoy it .
People don't continue doing something that they don't enjoy, and if they don't enjoy it than no one should talk them into enjoying it ..

Fun, but at what cost? The more you bet, the more fun you're going to have. Let's say that you're betting with 0.01$ per round and you won a 100x bet. That required tons of luck and now you have 1$ from it. Was that fun at all? That's no fun at all since you can easily take out a dollar from your pocket. But, if you bet 100$ and you won a 100x bet, you're going to have 10k$. Now, we're talking, right? Tons of money for risking an amount of money tremendously smaller than the winning amount.

The thing with people, they like to imagine that this type of thing happening to them and that gives them hope. Hope gives them motivation and motivation makes them bet nonstop. And of course motivation eventually wears off that's why the only thing gambling sites have to do is refresh it. That's why they put charts/boards of people winning high. You see someone just made 1BTC and you go "I can be that guy!!" so you start betting again after months of losing money from gambling.

We are adults and if the person doesn't want something, you can't change his/her mind and you can't convince them.

[bitcoinrays]

I think convincing them to gamble is not good but if they will come to you and saying that you will teach them then you can do it. If they can't control their selves in gambling then its not your fault, its their fault now. There is nothing in convincing them into gambling as long as they know the consequences in it.

If someone is a gambler then he understands the pros and cons of this game very well.Actually there are no such advantages so it is all about disadvantages. People lose time and money which are the two most important assets of a human life other than knowledge. A gambler should at least stop others from getting into the same shoe as he is.

Yes, honestly I will not spread out the problems I am facing but I will stop people from suffering. A new gambler is definitely not liable for finding advantages nor disadvantages of gambling when entering, we the introducers must be responsible for that. Instead of letting them know gamble, it would be better to induce them to suicide, yes both has no big differences.

But I believe convincing people to gamble is definitely bad, trying to tell people "if you deposit something you profit for sure" or " this strategy wins all the time" and all that is just pure scam and worst type of people. However convincing people "enjoying gambling" is different story. If you teach people that gambling is just a game and they will eventually lose their money and they should just focus on entertainment value and not winning money as in "enjoying" gambling than you are doing something right.

Hence, it depends on how you convince them to enjoy gambling is it "sure thing to win" or is it "just have fun" , if you do the second one, you are doing something correct, if you are doing the first one, you are doing something wrong.

[shesheboy]

yes it wrong because we all know that gambling is evil . we can loose more than what we expect . how much more if you encourage other people to join you ?  That will only lead to more losses and it could also lead to some seriuos troubles like blaming or worst end of relationship.

Not unless you gamble only for fun , without real money involved .  then that is i think more acceptable .

I would not say that it is wrong but i think that it is risky. we can convince only those people who you know are mature and they can understand that if they will take any decision it will be their own responsibility, and the second is that we should only give them suggestion  and not to take their responsibility of losing their money.

I agree , A true gambler knows the advantages and disadvantages of playing gambling. People who play gambling should know how to control them selves from temper of playing gambling even they know that if they lose they will also lose too much asset of him. I experience a lot difficulty on playing gambling and I got to the point I almost lose all my assets and become broke for a while. Being broke make me realize of such things.

Regarding convincing people to gamble there are several things which you definitely shouldn't do:

1. Saying that there is a place(a site) where with a certain amount of deposit your profit is guaranteed;

2. Boosting a "winning strategy" which can make one rich in no time;

3. Promoting an automated betting bot which will be making money for you 24/7;

4. Saying that there are certain spells/amulets which can help you win in gambling. Or saying that if you play in a particular day of the year/of the month or day part, or betting on a certain number, you have more chances to win, and all the other superstitious bullsh*t.

Apart from that, if you say to someone that gambling is fun worth trying, but at the same time you warn the person that he/she shouldn't risk money they can't afford to lose because the probability to lose is a bit higher than to win, I think there's nothing wrong with that.

First it's not a wrong idea if someone plays gambling to enjoy and have fun on condition that he uses the fund allocation according to they can afford to lose. you right, because in gambling the chances of profit will be smaller than the possibility of losing because everything depends on luck. the point is not to make gambling your work or income, it's a wrong idea

Tell me first do you know the risk on gambling platform or not. It have the risk factor openly if you override and make the money or okay loose only you will be invest on that concern gambling platform right. In that aspects you should not say you it is a wrong idea at anytime.

I am looking to invest on the gambling with the own wish on betting sites like nitrogen and sportsbet.
Apart from this whatever loose I see it is completely happening because of own fault in picking up the odds.

[Symphonized]

If you think that person has a great potential as gambler and can profit with it, just do it.
He will probabily not mind in at least trying.

[Docnaster]

I think that teaching people to enjoy gambling responsibly is the main priority. You will never convince people to avoid gambling entirely, it's part of human nature. As long as they can reliably control their impulses and not put themselves in financial trouble, then there's no issue with gambling, it's a sport after all. Just don't go ruining your life whilst playing!

[nydiacaskey01]

Nothing wrong with convincing people to enjoy gambling and actually its a good idea to promote gambling by telling them the positive and the negative side of gambling rather than showing them the side of gambling where all it can do is multiply your money in times when you need money. I was in that situation before, I have a few hundred dollars with me and I need a quick way to multiply my money because I need to pay someone, gambling is the first thing that came into my mind but I ended up empty handed.

If you were raised in an environment which told you gambling is bad, your mindset will never change, and once you’ve tried it, you’ll feel the guilt. However if you weren’t raised in that environment, you’ll do just fine. Addiction is when you keep doing it but hiding it from other people, plus denying it. The more you do that, the more you’ll feel the need to play. Also, if the stakes are high and you keep winning, there’s an absolute chance you’ll get addicted. To avoid, one must practice the art of SELF CONTROL.
