[What IF] Part 1

[shoreno]

if it didnt exist its possible that gambling companies will switch on the companies that you listed above . there will be more competition then. which is good and bad.

good because if there are many competition. many companies will bring promotion to get costumer .

  bad because it will be a crowded market . the scams and frauds will also be bigger.

 lastly we can be a good citizen because we can live without distractions.  we can improve our lives if ever we are destined to be borned as an addicted gambler

I could've just do trading all the time and I think I won't be able to participate in any weekly signature cmpaign since most of them are promoting gambling site. Crypto could be boring if there is no gambling yet the sense of usability is still there since it's originally meant to do an irreversable and transparent transactions.

[Capt00]

Wooh! This is quite a hard question to answer because we have not been to a path where gambling didn’t exist but I think, if gambling didn’t really exist I would be too focused with work and trying to think of ways to alleviate my lifestyle perhaps do sports for fun, I really don’t know lol.  Also, if gambling didn’t exist then no one will be addicted and no will ever be broke or stressed by it. Gambling has it’s advantages and disadvantages regardless if it exist or not, it’s just the matter of how we handle it.

[lienfaye]

I dont gamble often so I think it has no major impact in my life if ever gambling didnt exist.

Im still the person who I am now working as an employee to sustain the needs of my family.

If it didnt exist I might be looking for other option to entertain myself since I dont treat gambling to earn decent money and just only playing for fun.

It is undeniable that gambling is able to make someone become very rich in a short time, but make someone fall into poverty very short too.  the conclusion I got from what you wrote now, gambling is your source of income.  I admit.. you are very brave to take risks.

That is very true, gambling can make a person perhaps a millionaire in one go but it can also take everything out of you if you don’t control yourself from greed. Gambling shouldn’t be used as a source of income, it is only good for fun and use your spare money so avoid stress. On the other hand, if ever gambling never existed then people would be doing other things, perhaps shopping, sports or save up we really can’t say. IMO, gambling has its share of good side it’s just that people tend to get greedy when gambling thus they tend to lose everything and that’s made gambling bad in other people’s eyes.

Oh hello, we already know that Gambling existed for a very long time. Just what if, it didn't exist?

A very simple question but it takes minutes for me to build the answer and asking my self why.
So, what if..gambling doesn't exist? For me, life will continue goes on even without gambling and if it isn't discovered yet, people probably find a relatively the same on gambling. Let's think that gambling was not found yet, probably there are no gambling addicts, obviously.

We are human and we keep looking something new to our taste if we get boring, sad and also wanted to have entertainment probably gambling is the answer and that is the reason our ancestors found gambling.

Gambling for me is just for entertainment, gambling as a source of income is very hard, because imagine if you lose all your money on a bet how are you going to start again? I admit I lose all my money in gambling one time, but after that learned that gambling is just for entertainment only, because gambling addiction will eat you, you will big first but, because of greed most likely you will lose all of it.

[Wexnident]

If we think about it, gambling, even though may seem bad, has actually helped a lot of people and a lot of businesses themselves. Heck, even students gamble inside their schools. But considering that it never existed and could never exist forever, People would have probably just indulged themselves into hobbies or studying. Cause that's a minus one to the entertainment the world could have! Gambling isn't really a necessity for our lives but I believe anyone here has had gambling as a part of them already so imagining a world without it could be unexplainable or even unimaginable. In my account though, I'd just go proceed with my life and heck spend money recklessly like an idiot cause why not.

[iamsheikhadil]

Hmm... interesting question lol. If there would be no gambling it would not affect me in many manners because per day I gamble only around maybe 20 minutes or even less. I guess I would spend that time in other thrill giving stuffs but those are hard to find!

[stadus]

Gambling was already here before crypto was created, people loves to take risk and gambling really gives that kind of excitement.
We cannot change the past, it's part of the world order that gambling is created and speaking of other industry, we cannot completely relate it with gambling as they could also exist without gambling or we don't know if they will if gambling wasn't introduce.

[jrrsparkles]

If there is no gambling exists then people may find a way to spend their money on other way,it won't change any other thing in humanity,IMO.

Very good, people will spend their money on holidays or shopping "IF" there is no gambling in this world.

I am not sure gambling helped countless people? Because people who lost their life in gambling versus won in it will be 99.9:0.1

Gambling really doesn't help a lot of people, it's just that people like gambling. With the aim of entertaining yourself, not helping financially. Maybe it helps people who need entertainment, so they play gambling.

There are lots of ways to spend money other than shopping and travelling.

I though OP was talking about financial benefits from gambling so said in that way but people who gamble for entertainment is very less compared to financial intention.

[acroman08]

Oh hello, we already know that Gambling existed for a very long time. Just what if, it didn't exist? Do we really expect all of these companies to be working on trading platforms? Mining? Video Hosting? Etc... Do we really intend to be good citizens if this were the fact on our life?
Don't get me wrong buddy, this is just another What If... We already know that Gambling already helped countless of people worldwide. And this might be impossible to be gone, so let's just start on this what if

(Continues Discussion...)

Most of my time is being spent on playing but I know how to manage my time also so this is what I will do if Gambling didn't exist. Gambling is another form of entertainment with a bit of investment and it is ok that but there are some gamblers that are getting addicted into it and they are doing various crimes. Gambling is one of the most profitable industry at this moment so no one can stop it. Lets just accept it and just gamble a little money.

[Peashooter]

If gambling doesn't exist then I would be just working for 8-10 hours in the office as an Network Administrator in a company to earn money, and many people will realized that how it is hard to get money that the gamblers used to just bet in some casinos, even me will realized how hard to earn money if you are just working. Gambling, is one of my best expertise when it comes to earn money because in casinos I manage to earn money easily just to sit and gamble my money. If gambling really doesn't exist many people will just go to find their jobs and work for 8-10 hours with a minimum salary.

Well, in a way... But still the activity of people is were I'm more curious about. If it didn't exist, this guy is quite right (below quote), I didn't know that there are some quite famous arts related on Gambling... And thanks for that, I'm really greatful for this thread though.

There's a lot of things you can do in this world, since technology has improve, the world moves faster and most of us are already living in the online world.
if there's no gambling, we won't see people suffer from addiction or gambling operators making money from gamblers, but sure there are other things  that we will know where people will fall in love with.

This world is full of invention and a certain invention could be popular in a certain time.

[Genemind]

If gambling doesn't exist, I will find better ways to earn. It could be a regular job or I might put up a small business. There are other ways to earn but the earning isn't as big and easy as gambling. However, we can eliminate gambling because it has been existing for generations. People could gamble in so many ways, even through animals or anything that is existing around us.

i don't see connections about those companies you've mentioned and if gambling does not exist.

gambling is a platform were people spend money for fun and to enjoy though this is not what happening for people wanted to multiply their money aside from the idea that they knew winning is impossible against the house
while those platform you have mentioned is work or a job in which people tend to do to profit literally and not just to gamble

but if gambling does not exist?im sure less family will be broken and less people will be dumped their lives just to gamble

If it doesn't exist then I would mostly be playing more video games since I see gambling as a game to release my stress, especially after working or after doing some tiring activities. Or.. I would be just playing something perfectly the same to gambling with different name. LOL.

maybe people will be more progressive in life if world is gambling free,maybe there is no lazy people that dont wanna work hard and just relying the luck they might get
many life has been wasted because of this Vices so not having this as Plus factor for the world
