Disadvantages of Gambling

[passwordnow]

Some people will still try their luck and want to explore if by chance they can win big. But if people learn from this threads they would know how hard it is to earn from gambling and what all are the various disadvantages associated while gambling for money.

I doubt it that those gamblers that are on that point of having that bad luck will learn from these threads that we are discussing. The last part that gambling can destroy everyone individually is a fact. From those shared experiences, from what I've witnessed through my friends and relatives that are engaged into gambling before. They really shared the same bad fate in gambling but after realization, they were all doing well now and have learned from that mistake.

..gambling is fun..but make sure that you gamble the amount of money that you are afford to lose..yeah you're right..all of this disadvantages will come to you if you let it happen..your wealth,friends,families will gone and worst of it there is a possibility that you will suffer from a great depression..but this will not go through if you have control in yourself..just use gamble for fun and have a mindset that if you gamble too much,,you will everything you have..

I think the biggest disadvantage is thinking how much you're going to win, that's where the frustrations begin when you can not reach the goal, which could be amended to think, how much are you willing to lose? It would be the option that would transform a disadvantage into an advantage.

You're right because the ego of how much ones will win was one of the thing that lead majority of gamblers depression but gambling with the amount ones cant afford to loose as Carrel said and playing to recover losses was what keep the addiction going simultaneously.

I don't agree with this. I know these since I am addicted to gambling in the past. After a game, I would regret that I did not bet on this side, not bet on the other side, something like that but if I will be gambling again, I never thought of my losses as my aim at that point is to win. I don't really stick to the luck-based games as we all know that it would be really hard to win. I usually bet on cockfighting at that time and also some small sports betting as I am new to that kind of gambling then.

There are a lot of disadvantages of gambling as you rightly mentioned above but it depends on the societal perspective about gambling. In some society of which I have visited, it is seeing as a taboo for one to play gamble and if it is known to the public that gambling is what you do and earn money you will lose your public reputation.

The one that OP mention is true and gambling is one the most addictive activity, if you can't control yourself in gambling then it will destroy yourself and your life, it can destroy your mental and affected your social life, but that's only happen when you already addicted to gambling, when you just play for fun then it could be a very entertaining and probably could be a profitable activity

When you get yourself in gambling everything is in a disadvantage because your valuables is at risk there is no guarantee of winning 100%.

I don't agree with that, although gamblers loss most of the time but there are times that we can win and even if we lose, we can still enjoy gambling.
Actually everyone has different view, we are gambling to have fun, relieve some stress to forget our problems for a while, so even if we spend but we get entertained then I guess you can call that as an advantage.

When someone care about their money and don't want to lose it at any situation then they never should try to gamble because here they have probbility of losing is high.

Then if you say like that, it is better to not playing gambling because we don't want to lose money in the gambling games. You have a choice to gamble, but you also have a choice to stay away from gambling especially if you are a concern with your money. It is an option for every gambler.
In the gambling games, we need to have a plan on how much money we can afford to lose, so we don't feel sad if that happens.

I just said the same in simple sentence.

But losing money is not a disadvantage in gambling because it need to be considered as spending our money than rather losing it.

Yeah, you are right. I don't want to lose money either as you. But I don't think that what I lose in the gambling games will make me so sad because I know the risk that when I play gambling, I am willing to spend some money because I have a chance to get the loss.
I think there are many other disadvantages of gambling, but we don't know details because we only know that the big disadvantages of gambling are losing the money.

Losing money is not a disadvantage of gambling. It is just a Part of gambling where you can Win or lose both.

In some parts of the world, gambling is not considered a healthy activity. and those who play gambling are not considered good persons. Although this varies from person to person opinion.

Every coin has two sides and there might be both advantages and disadvantages of gambling. This multi billion dollar industry has been very hard at some people depriving them of their money completely. The risk is high and probability and LUCK speaks about who wins and looses so I think one should find other adventures to make money and not really rely on gambling. Gamble only when you enjoy it and are ready to loose some dollars.

This cannot be disadvantage of gambling but a pure consequences of gambling in negative side. When we gamble responsibly we can simply overcome this negative consequences. But, practically gambling will never allow us to gamble with consciousness. Because, the trills of gambling will take us into the state of excitements where no one is able to realize themselves too.

How if we know that gambling will eat our money but we still playing gambling after all?
For me, that is the disadvantages of gambling, but I don't know how about you. We knew about that, so we should stop gamble as fast as we can. If we decide to continue, then get ready to lose your money.
