Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea?

[Janation]

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.

But if that person or individual do not have a great potential as a successful gambler but just a addicted gambler, I don't think I will be doing it.

I would rather encourage them to invest and risk their money on great investments including crypto currencies that is new or maybe an old crypto currency that has a possibility of having a good price in the future.

You can't figure out if the person will become a successful gambler in the beginning. If you will encourage him and say such words that might push him to keep on trying up to the peak, he can end up broke.

I'll tell and share my knowledge about investments but I won't encourage them to do risk their money. It's better to be safe rather than giving them some hopes that there's success in risking through words.

but always remind him that playing gambling game can attract him to become addicting in gambling and he should know about this so he can prevent to become the addicted person in gambling. besides that, you must tell him that he needs to make a limit on the money that he wants to use so he can avoid getting a big loss of the money. this is hard especially if he always attract to the game and want to play more the game and he can become the addicting person.

[Fatanut]

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.

The thing about this world is that we think that gambling is bad. There's that general idea but that doesn't affect us as much as what we see around us. When see our parents gambling and we are doing just fine in life, we would think that "gambling isn't that bad, why do people say it is?" But if our parents are gambling while we starve, we're thinking that "gambling is bad and I will never become like my parents."

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.

And what does maturity and being able to take responsibility do to you? How does it help you at all? It helps you accept your losses and that it was your fault all along but that doesn't really take out your losses and you still have the same chance of getting addicted to gambling like any other person.

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.

The thing with gamblers is that they think they have the potential to become the next *insert gambler's name*. Gambling gives us that illusion. We mimic other people's gambling habits because we think that's what made them rich and if it's even remotely working, then we become happy and get the illusion again.

Everyone has the potential to become a professional gambler but that doesn't mean that everyone will make it. If 99% of the gamblers didn't become rich in gambling, what made you think that you belong to that 1%? The potential to become a professional gambler comes with the potential of you ruining your life because of gambling addiction, is it really worth the risk? You can do something else with your life. You can gamble in a different way.

[Arsedunn]

Yes, why? Because you already know that gambling can you him addicted on it that can turn him into worst situation. Greediness can make a person to lose everything you know that. So, yes convincing people to enjoy gambling is wrong.

If a person is not interested in gambling then convincing those people is a wrong but if someone asks you about gambling then nothing wrong in telling both good and bad about gambling or teaching some games if you know the tricks to play the game. But at the end, you should do your part saying that gambling is not for making but just for fun and if addict then it may lead to the worst situation and the final decision let them take because if you don't teach them then they may approach to another person.

I think that it is not a good idea to convince people about to play gambling, because gambling is one of the most risky way of making money, and if they will lose their money in gambling then will surely blame you for their lost.

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.

That's right, and regarding its supposed "destructive nature", that only depends on how you use it. Sunbathing can be destructive too, but, as we know, many people enjoy it. As with excessive sunbathing you can get a sunburn, your life can be ruined with excessive gambling, but if you do it moderately you can enjoy it, and there's nothing wrong with suggesting to others something which makes you personally happier.

Exactly when you have already some good source of earning and learning about respectable sources then why to get involved in this detrimental source. Why to get in somewhere where everyone is trying to assault you. They try to get money from you and give you nothing. You know there is loss for you but still you don’t understand and you are going on and on.

I had a female employee who somehow got addicted to lose weight. She believed she could be more beautiful if she was able to lose more weight and she did. You can always lose more weight in the end why not lose all and be the most beautiful right? Eventually she ended up in a mental hospital.

Gamling is just like that. You gotta be retarded to get addicted to it.

People are warning other people for the potential dangers. I see nothing wrong with that.

You've provided another great example, which can help us to answer the OP's question. In this case the desire to lose more and more weight is very similar to a hunger for bigger and bigger profits in gambling. So, knowing that there's a possibility of it ending up badly, should we convince an overweight person to lose weight? Not necessarily. But if others do that, we definitely can't blame them. I wouldn't. 

[samuland5]

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.

I will never try to convince my friends for playing gambling. I know that then it will be my own responsibility if they will lose  money from gambling. Therefore I will never in favor to convince my friends about gambling activities. I will always to convince people not play gambling for along.

[krishnaverma]

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.

Yes, introducing someone to gambling is not a bad thing. If someone starts doing it in excess after knowing about it, then it is a big problem. But for some people, things can get uglier after some time. Personally, I will not introduce my close friends to this until they themselves so some interest.

There is no reason for you to be blame just because someone got addicted into gambling just because you introduced gambling to that person. In the first place anyone of us are responsible for our own doings especially if we are an adult already and a normal person. If someone got addicted into it then it was her/his decisions to become one.

We can't just force people to do what we want for them. Some people are just hard headed though how we've been worrying about them and giving them enough reminders on what they should do, they never stop on what they believe.

And this is very applicable in gambling, they enjoy, they earn somehow but at the end of it when they lost control to themselves that's the start of the misery where we can see them bad day.

We remind them, okay that's good but if they never listened to us and they push through their limits we just have to part way with them and don't convince them with anything again.

[xIIImaL]

Whether gambling or any investment on cryptocurrencies platform should be discussed by the  close people but we should not convince the any people for it.
When you looking to make the investment on the gambling please checkout the good website and if you do not have idea to invest then don't get convinced by anyone.

That's a complete foolish thing to do when you are in need of money. I agree that gambling allows you to multiply your money in short time but, think of the other side. It can bust your money in no time. So, if you are in need of money, it is not advisable to put money in hope of multiplying it. Most of the time it would go wrong.

[FrueGreads]

I actually understand what you are saying but you should remember that gambling as an addiction is not the norm, so you shouldn't feel bad in recommending it to other people. It's almost like drinking. I have no problem in inviting friends to grab a drink from time to time because I know they are not alcoholics. It would be wrong if you invited someone to gamble if you knew they had a problem with it, otherwise you should assume they are normal and they would handle it in a healthy way just like you do.

By the way, talking about inviting someone to gamble, I wold like to invite everyone that enjoys sports betting into our Betting Competition sponsored by BetKing.io.

Yes, people should do that if there is any danger but first of all it depends on a person who is warned by someone.

[Symphonized]

Or just give him a guide or something alter on if he accepts to join gambling.
Making sure he knows the risks.

Yeah you right. only marketing from gambling sites that say that gambling can make you rich and multiply your money.
in fact there is a huge risk behind it. You do the right thing if you tell someone else to play gambling correctly. which is to have fun

[dupee419]

I think it is neither a good or a bad idea when in convincing someone towards gambling, if he/she is open-minded up to it, then I don't think there is a bad thing there, but if you are convincing someone who's negative with gambling, then that's a bad idea.
