Disadvantages of Gambling

[Get-Paid.com]

You have a good point but that still depends on the well being of a particular gambler. If he is disciplined and strictly follow his good principles then gambling would not be a probpem at all but if he is not then that's the time when problem comes. All is just a matter of proper handling.

There is no proper handling when it comes to randomness, the system is designed for you to play as much as possible ... you won't lit your house on fire and then try to extinguish the fire, right? You simply won't do it in the first place.

The same should be applied here.

Math said that you are going to loss in gambling how matter good you're or if you have your favorite method.
You can win big from gambling only if you have enough guts at the right time and only a few people able to make it happen.

1) Gambling brings you loneliness, or makes you feel alone or want to be alone, it can isolate you from society or from other important events in your life.

There are times that gambling gives you happiness especially if you are just gambling for fun only. Yeah its hard since most gamblers want to win  money when they gamble but there are some gamblers out there who are happy even though they lost their money.

3) Not to mention it can can destroy you financially, you can lose a lot of money in a matter of seconds/minutes/hours/days. Some stories show how people lost over millions of dollars in a matter of hours or days.

I agree with this. There are some gamblers out there who lost many money already in gambling and this is because they become greedy if they win or even they lose. Lucky for me, I lost a small amount in gambling FOR NOW.

4) Gambling can also destroy you individually, not only financially, you can lose your family, your job, your friends or relatives.

Gambling destroy you mentally if you lose your money. Gambling can affect your ties with your family or even your companions since it destroys your mind bit by bit.

All in all gambling is a losing proposition, these drawbacks weigh much more than any possible benefits you can ever come up with when it comes to gambling.

I think gambling is giving negative impacts on a gambler. I don't see any positive things that gambling can give (although there are some who will disagree with this).

All these happen in the case somebody gets addicted. Then indeed, he lose the control over his life and money.
But this kinda happens with all kinds of addiction.

I think that the easier summary would be: the disadvantage of gambling is that it can trigger too easily an addiction.
But again, a lot of addictions fall into this "too easy" group.

So.. yeah.. everybody, don't gamble more than you afford to lose and gamble only while it's fun.

I agree with @NeuroticFish here. Everything mentioned in the OP refers to gambling addiction, not gambling itself. The same can be applied to any addiction. Take alcohol, for instance. More than 7% of the American population aged 18 and older have a drinking problem. Over 80,000 people die from alcohol-related causes each year in the U.S. alone. That's a serious problem, but it doesn't mean you can't enjoy a beer or two with your friends. Just don't get addicted to it, that's all.

Betting or any form of gambling investment convey such a great amount of worry to anybody by the day's end particularly when you understand the cash you've misfortune. I think the main preferred standpoint of betting is that, it can give you pain free income surprisingly however there's no affirmation on this, so its extremely more on the negative side. Betting is as yet an incredible spot to have a great time, yet attempt to play if you enough fund with you.

But everyone hoping that they can be one of that person to big win so they are trying their luck again to make their dream happen on someday.

I won't play much gambling because I know the chances of being that one is very less.

I do not agree with almost all of the listed things. First one is being alone and gambling causing being alone, well it could be true if you are a gambling addict and you can just lose all your money and ask for more from your close circle and even strangers and become lonely but if you gamble just for fun and stop when you can than there is absolutely no reason for you to be alone.

I only gamble when my wife goes to bed for example (she wakes up earlier than me so she goes to bed earlier than me), if you are an addict and get get gambling out of your head than you need to consult a professional about it, gambling addiction is not better than drug addiction or drinking, its an addiction, if you do not care about gambling enough to think about it as soon as you close the tab than you will be fine. Basically all of these "disadvantages" of gambling is purely "disadvantages of gambling addiction" and not gambling itself.

If you say that gambling is a losing proposition — where loses weighs greater than the profits — then why there are existing poker players (just for example) who are now multi-millionaires? This only proves that with a good combination of a little bit luck and tactics, being successful is not impossible.

I feel gambling is all about disadvantages.None can make profit in gambling or they lost profit anyhow.Gambling can make your life hell because you could be empty hand for gambling.More bad effect of gambling is you became frustrated and your life become valueless.

I think many gamblers know their chances on becoming one of the few people. Their chance is also few but then many still tries, who wouldn't want it, it's all worth it taking the chance and risk if you win big. One of disadvantage and probably biggest disadvantage is the winning percentage, it's very low.

Thats only what you think because you maybe experience to loose all the time and you are not playing the right way or the wiser way  but dont worry because you arent alone many people do also think the same way as you  .

All of you guys were wrong . gambling isnt built to make your life miserable . gambling isnt evil  . the gambler is the only one that make negative thoughts on gambling .

Despite of this disavantages, gambling makes other people more worthy. Those who are working on the casinos are living well because of the salaries they get, and that comes from the gamblers. So if the gamblers are suffering from big losses, someone is enjoying that money. So many disadvantages in gambling, so always be careful.

Its so easy to state all the negative things about gambling because i believe that it is negative in nature. If you let lose yourself to it and become addict, you will suffer from getting broke up to being alone without your family who is also tired from your doings. So until its early, just play moderately and control yourself.

1) Gambling brings you loneliness, or makes you feel alone or want to be alone, it can isolate you from society or from other important events in your life.

From all of the given disadvantages this is what I believe is indeed because i remember when i was still engaging alot in gambling this is what i felt,i was aloof from others and i always skip friendly bonding just because of my gambling habits and until it turns all my closest friend leaves me because of my new behavior and attitude

Thats why now since I have completely erased my fast life I realize one thing,that friends is still our defense whenewe got in troubles

Actually gambling meant to be other way,it can bring us lot of friends into our life so make our lonliness to forget so you should reconsider about this and surely you can get overcome this disadvantage.

I don't know if you're aware of this news two years ago:

I guess this is one of the worst effect of gambling to a person.

Anyways, my call is that you really need to be in control of yourself once you enter this gambling world, otherwise you will really experience those things you mentioned. So if you're responsible enough and can emotionally control your betting then those disadvantages won't surface, in my opinion.

I agree. Some people actually gamble because they're lonely. Though of course we all know that it's not the solution. What can seem to be a solution may be a quicksand that'll sink the lonely person into more problems. It's a doubled edged blade.

What op has listed are truth and gambling can really make us to suffer from those things.  I think if you lose too much in gambling one can develop bp and depression.  Gambling has destroyed many gamblers happiness and if you cannot gamble just for fund there is no need of going into it.

Gambling is about randomness.
When you put randomness in someone's life the reaction will never be clear.

In another words, what you describe might apply to some people but even these people are in a risk of losing the plot, there are no guarantees.
