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'm really sorry but that's just BS.
How gambling can bring you lots of friends?

You can go with your friends to the casino but in the end of the day when you gamble you risk your own money and not your friends'.

Gambling is isolating people, it's not connecting people, if you believe otherwise then I am not sure what type of "friends" are you referring to?

There's a lot of disadvantage of gambling but I will focus on online gambling since we're on the cryptocurrency industry and most of the gamblings here are online gambling. Below are just some of the disadvantages I've known and this is all according to my observation, perception and experiences.

1. Everyone can play Gambling games no matter what's your age, since it's online you really don't know if the player is 18+ and the minimum verification are just name or confirmation on email which can 18yrs old and below can do. As long as they have money they can play gambling games.

2. Greediness. We all know that once we experience winning we still want to win more and when we start losing we wanted to recover our loses so we are going to invest again until we lose all our money and realize the money we've wasted from playing gambling games.

3. Addiction. Playing a lot from it gives you an addiction in where you can't control yourself from playing without considering anything like where you're going to get your playing money or what will happen to you when you lose in playing gambling games.

So far here are the disadvantages I know from playing gambling games.

This person started a thread about benefits of gambling:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047546.0

btw in English you say "benefits from of gambling", not from.

I would like to open a thread about the opposite.
Here are some disadvantages that come to my mind when gambling is involved, I did not copy-paste any text from anywhere, this is purely my own thoughts about it:

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.
2) It can suck your energy or your happiness, it can get inside your head and won't leave you alone until you gamble again.
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.
4) Gambling can also destroy you individually, not only financially, you can lose your family, your job, your friends or relatives.

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.

there are some rest advantage and disadvantage are also equally being there in most of the field so I definitely see gambling was a good form of money making so disadvantage will not give any difficulties for me to do gambling.

Going to casinos give the chances to meet lot of new faces so this can be an opportunity to make lot of friends for us.But gambling with our money is not going to help in making new friends.

Most people you would meet in the casino would be "friends" that would ask you for loans etc.

Reminds me of the dice website, I tried it for 5 minutes and got so many requests from people for loans and other shady stuff.

Not talking about online gambling sites,imagine you are going to a casino where you can meet new people which can become friendly with you by your talk and way of looking but we definitely don't have to ask them for loans they will consider as scammers.

The people we met may have been related to our job or business so we have the opportunities to hang out together.

Gambling is a dangerous addiction and one getting in the gambling industry faces a tough time in managing his gambling life and the financial life. People in States seems to be more commonly addicted to this gambling life and lose a hefty sum of money each year due to the poor strategies used by them in Gambling.

Some lose higher than expected and incur debts which would affect their personal life and more commonly their mental health. Gamblers are subjected to increased alcoholic addiction if they lose more than what they have gambled. Also they are subjected to intense pressure which might lead to unemployment.

Gamblers face a tough situation in their family too. If they lose money, they are subjected to pressure which gets transferred to others in god family. Gamblers due to their increased addiction will borrow loans and debts from friends and banks and would eventually lose them leading them to further problems in the society. Unless you are lucky enough to get back what you gambled you would more probably lose all the money.

Online Gambling has further disadvantages when compared to RL gambling. You would be confined within the virtual world and would have no contact with real players apart from the inbuilt chat. Casino downtimes are regularly being a frustration among online gamblers which would be difficult during peak seasons. On top of that, we need to trust the online websites for the withdrawal of our funds. Nowadays online gambling is receiving harsh criticisms due to the ongoing scams taking place all over the market.

Disadvantages in gambling is for gamblers and not for the creator of the gambling site, so it's a problem for gambler mate! you can't say that is not a problem, there is a thousands of gamblers lose a lot of money every month in gambling! The only one who make a lot of profit is the owner of the casino or the gambling site, if it's online.

the points are definitely accepted by me because it will be true for everyone to make their gambling more useful but it will not work in time so we need face it with our confidence.

I can relate to this, I was once an addicted gambler. It started as a normal play that lead to addiction. I think its because of my losses that I want to get back and chasing is like a cycle without an end if you dont have control and you're not in your right mind to stop. Due to this my relation to my family slowly changed, im just thankful that my wife is very understanding and helped me to compose myself. I had to seek for a professional help to overcome the addiction. Its been a long time now, currently I still gamble but with control and limitation.

I think people who are trying to gamble must read first the disadvantages of playing to become aware of the consequences.

That's why I didn't take seriously gambling because all I want is having fun with it. Negatively sides of gambling are more than compared to the positive side on it. And it is hard to adjust if everything makes worst happen like you've lost everything because of chasing your losses.
Yeah right, can destroy everything if you don't know how to manage it.

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.
2) It can suck your energy or your happiness, it can get inside your head and won't leave you alone until you gamble again.
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.
4) Gambling can also destroy you individually, not only financially, you can lose your family, your job, your friends or relatives.

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.

That should be the case for everyone. Gamble what you can afford to lose. But in reality, once a person got addicted, he will bet all his savings as well as his life. And that's not fun anymore. People should remind themselves what they are heading into before going deep in this addiction.

It looks like most of the user here believes that gambling is all about disadvantage, well i have to agree with them and to summary all their thoughts, gambling is base on how you greed you are. If you are too much greedy, then you will lose big but if you know how to be contented and to just have fun then gambling is good to you even if you are also losing.

This isn't just for gambling but it's for everything that you do alone. You are isolating yourself from the society because you feel uncomfortable dealing with other people.

2) It can suck your energy or your happiness, it can get inside your head and won't leave you alone until you gamble again.
A fact.

Whenever we lose, this starts to get into our minds and we can't be contented of just thinking on how we're going to recover it. What we want is to recover it with our bare hands and that pushes us to gamble more.

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.
4) Gambling can also destroy you individually, not only financially, you can lose your family, your job, your friends or relatives.
These 2 reasons are on point.

I've watched different stories on how they made themselves broke for getting that much addiction in gambling. They even lost not just properties, went bankrupt and even lost their loved ones.

While reading all your points, I can feel the pain damn.

many have already posted all the negative impacts of gambling into someone else's mind, body, spirit, etc.
but here we are, most are gamblers by nature. and still betting or playing.
 it is our own self only that can limit our part on this gambling business. this business will stay and proliferate no matter what
so it is our responsibility to do our part on how to stay sane in this business or better yet, totally quit...

It's hard to stop when you are already addicted to gambling, many have experienced it. Not just me, not probably just you but most that are here discussing that someone should take care of himself of not becoming addicted.

Yes, gambling is a business and the more the addicted you are, the more that you are helping the business to keep on operating. I can't totally quit in gambling because I chose to remain but I also have a choice to gamble moderately.

There's a lot of disadvantage of gambling but I will focus on online gambling since we're on the cryptocurrency industry and most of the gamblings here are online gambling. Below are just some of the disadvantages I've known and this is all according to my observation, perception and experiences.

1. Everyone can play Gambling games no matter what's your age, since it's online you really don't know if the player is 18+ and the minimum verification are just name or confirmation on email which can 18yrs old and below can do. As long as they have money they can play gambling games.

2. Greediness. We all know that once we experience winning we still want to win more and when we start losing we wanted to recover our loses so we are going to invest again until we lose all our money and realize the money we've wasted from playing gambling games.

3. Addiction. Playing a lot from it gives you an addiction in where you can't control yourself from playing without considering anything like where you're going to get your playing money or what will happen to you when you lose in playing gambling games.

So far here are the disadvantages I know from playing gambling games.

I think another advantage of gambling online as compared to gambling in actual casinos is that you'd spend less time when you gamble online. Since you're home, you'd eventually get tired, or your eyes will probably get strained, or your back will get sore from sitting in front of your computer the whole day. Whereas actual casinos are actually designed for you to get comfortable and to spend the maximum possible amount of time for a human to gamble. You are given free drinks, comfortable seats and even free hotel rooms sometimes so you won't have to go home to rest. Gamblers sometimes even spend weeks in casinos because of this kind of environment.

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'm really sorry but that's just BS.
How gambling can bring you lots of friends?

You can go with your friends to the casino but in the end of the day when you gamble you risk your own money and not your friends'.

Gambling is isolating people, it's not connecting people, if you believe otherwise then I am not sure what type of "friends" are you referring to?


I'm not going to reply to this in a similar fashion, like "Gambling is connecting people, it's not isolating people", because in my opinion it would be the worst way of conducting a dialogue. There are billions of people in the world and their experiences from the same activities differ from case to case, in the same manner as outcomes. Of course you are right saying that gambling is isolating people, but you are right only partially, because there are others, like me and zhekinsp, finding many friends on gambling sites. I hope you understand that the answer to the question "Whose friends are better?" is not that obvious.

In short, we can't state categorically neither that gambling is good nor that gambling is bad  because it is good for some and bad for others.
