Sometimes it might help to save a friend's life when not having some earnings from real life as well.
I wouldn't do that, I'll encourage him to look for a job instead of convincing him to gamble. I might be part of his misfortune if I'm the one encouraged him to gamble while he doesn't have a stable source of income. Gamblers that doesn't have stable source of income will literally depend in gambling if they see a chance that they can make it as part of their lives. But I think that's not how it should go, I just can't feel it to encourage one person to gamble if I see the possible result.

Yeah. It absolutely is. First of all, keep this in mind, gambling is totally addicting, specially when one starts to win loads of money in very short amount of time. What used to be just entertainment, might end up being an addiction that will be affecting his over all life for the rest of the future. Your friends can still gamble on sites that offer virtual currencies that has no value and is free to play if he wants to enjoy playing those casino games.
Maybe the main important thing to convince someone to gamble is try your luck maybe you can be a millionaire so in that case playing with free money won't be entertained so he may tempted to play with his earnings if he play with the control then it will be fine or he want to take risk of all his earning then might be a serious problem to their life.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with gambling as long as it’s done in moderation. You need to maie sure that you’re only gambling with amounts that you can afford to lose. For example gamboing with the rent or electric bill money is a big NO NO. You also need to know when to walk away if you’re on a losing streak.

It's the same as drinking, as long as it's done in moderation there isn't a problem. The gambling addicts give a bad name to the regular Joes that like to place a few bets every now and then. A lot of people can't walk away from a losing streak. In their minds they believe that a win is due because of all the previous losses. Well, it doesn't work that way. You have the same odds every bet regardless of the previous outcomes.

Convincing people to enjoy gambling is not wrong imo. It's a nice pastime if you are not abusing it. But convincing someone to make money with it, especially selling them "winning strategies", dicebots which can "earn" a certain amount in a certain period of time etc. is a very wrong idea.
I thought if every gambler was reading Gambling discussion section here, such propositions would be pointless because no one would fall for that. Unfortunately I was wrong about that. People either can't read or they think that they know better than that, but they still fall for such things.
Yes, I agree with your post mate, convincing people is not wrong especially in the time that your friend was very happy with gambling. You can warn your friends the possible to happen if they didn't control their selves in gambling, they are in the right age to think what is right or wrong that the decision they made in gambling. People still think that gambling is profitable but the real thing is it might be lost your poverty and asset. Yeah you are right but I don’t know how a person can be happy while losing his money? It is possible only in physical casinos. When you convince your friend to company you in casino and he agrees. To this limit it is ok but going beyond this limit is total destruction and your best friend can become criminal in the future. Why you not give him good advice besides gambling?

It is more like trying to convince someone that jumping inside the middle of an ocean is a good thing to do without telling them the risks involved and the repercussions that could end up befalling them if care is not taken and I really see it as an act of irresponsibility actually which was what I eventually came into conclusion with after reading most of the things here. If you want to convince people, convince them to do the right thing. Sure, everyone is entitled to the way they think, but the fact is that some people can be gullible and ending up trusting you enough to not lead them in a ditch and then eventually when you end up doing that as a person, how are you going to be able to live with yourself?

Sometimes, gambling is the root of it all the reason why we drink, we smoke and we do drugs. I don't consider people to enjoy gambling since it is the worst thing that could happen to them. They can enjoy gambling, yes, but getting addicted to these enjoyment will lead to it's addiction and they will be regretting that they gamble even that first time since it will be a continuous pleasure for them especially if they experience winning at the early games.

Honestly, a good friend should always be there to encourage in doing good things and not something that would affect the friend's life negatively which in this situation is what I am seeing the OP doing if he peradventure ends up or ended up doing something like this. Not everyone can think straight and there are some people who actually do have chicken brain enough to not be able to think for them-selves, and in a case where you are compelling and convincing someone like that to go the gambling lane is more like purposely trying to push the person in front of a speedy train. Who actually does that, if not a terrible friend?

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?
Since i believe that gambling is really created to make people enjoying and not for losing I can feel you OP Because thats what i wanna do,enjoy the game and wanted some friends to be with me,but i am afraid that this will turn them to be a gambler and soon be addicted so that’s wha made me think twice when times i want to bring them to casino or some local gambling sites

He may be an adult but you don't push someone to the wrong term of using gambling as a way to earn "some earnings". He has freedom of choice but you don't account yourself to push him that way. Its okay if you'll just teach him to gamble naturally and just to have fun, there's nothing wrong with that but to the extent of you want to help him but in the wrong way, I think that's a bad idea.

I would not say gambling is actually the main cause of all the things that you have mentioned, as that certainly has to do with your own personality and what you are exposed to. Smoking, drugs, or whatever one can easily get addicted to, is something that can happen naturally to anyone who is not a gambler. Gambling addiction on its own is a crazy level of addiction and at the end, all these are some things hurting you, you know they are hurting you and you just could not help yourself. So in that case, convincing someone to get into such a thing is not just wrong, it is evil.

No its not a wrong idea to convince people in gambling but at the same time, if you will convince people you must give some advice to them like don't be too greedy or have self control like that. If you just convince them and there are some problems that will occur onto them, it can be your fault if they lose because you convince them.
Yeah it is right and I agree with this type of convincing. I think that convincing people for regular gambling is a worst thing and it means that are going to become a source of producing bad people of the community. We all know that some regular and addicted gamblers become criminals to get some money for their gambling. You should avoid people from gambling. I condemn convincing people for gambling. Gambling is not good at all although if you gamble for fun and entertainment and not for making money. When you feel the lust of money you will not be able to quit gambling and gradually you will become gambling addicted and will lose everything. It is better to convince people for some other positive activities.

Convincing someone that gambling is the easiest way to earn money is really wrong thing to do so don't teach anyone in the wrong direction which makes the gambling as haunted among the normal people because they are doing for wrong purposes.

You mean if I want to say somebody to come to gambling and waste your time and money and assume that I am doing good job. Totally nonsense. Convincing people to gambling is a big sin for me because if such a person become gambling addicted then who will be responsible. You cannot limit a person not to accede that limit and gamble just for fun and not for money. Bro there are many other activities for passing time then why gambling. Why you choose the worst thing for time pass. You can pass your free time with your family and your best friends but not in casino. I wonder how a person can choose gambling for time pass. I have much free time in 24 hours but I never turn to gambling because I know the consequences of gambling.

Convincing people who has no regular income to gamble is a very bad thing to do and I am sure I will not try to implement it.

Let people make that decision on their own than trying to convince them and even if they want to gamble, let them know the risk involved and what they should be doing to at least be in control all the time. In this case even though they want to gamble, you are at least helping them not to get too excited expecting so much from gambling.
