Is gambling a threat or fun?

[butcherme]

it is both of them to be exact,
Gambling is fun when you are winning but it could be threat when we couldn't control it.
There are people who got addicted to it when they taste the great pleasure of winning on gambling,
Specially when they won a big money from it,
Once they started gambling and have a taste of it they would always think that they could do it again so even when they are losing a lot they wouldn't care because in their mind they could just easily gain it back.

If we want to get a lot of money, then it is probably better to work hard or do business. Gambling is not a place where they can be earned (by playing).
Although there is always a chance 

It should, most people think about it.

How many dollars he spends in gambling every month, for example $ 1000, if he starts a business / business with that much capital, maybe it can increase by half of it or maybe more if the business is advanced.

That's what human names are always there are other parties who incite to plunge into gambling.
The worst part is that most people bet, when they lose a bet, they run out of $ 1000, and tomorrow they play again, winning $ 100 is fun enough for an addict, even though he has lost $ 1000, he doesn't realize it.

"Human nature can not be changed by others, if he himself does not want to change it".

100% true!
Even if you do not do business and save money in a bank (or invest in cryptocurrency), then the accumulated amount will become huge over time. While the money spent on gambling will not give anything but a one-time adrenaline rush.

For me, i believe gambling should be fun for every gamblers out there. You re expected to enjoy your gambles, either its a win or a loss.

Never get emotionally engaged with your bets, that you feel angry when a game losses.

Whenever you realize that gambling is a threat to your peace ? happiness ? and general livelihood. Its time to take a break away from gambling.

[Latviand]

It does depend on the gambler. Self-control is a must. If you would let greed consume you, you will surely get addicted into it. Gambling is like a gun. If you won't make use of it with responsibility, it will be a threat to other people and as well to yourself but if you would have full control of it, things would be fine, which is the same with gambling that could be profitable, source of enjoyment and such with proper usage.

I simply cannot see the point of Gambling being a threat to anyone. Its just a platform its just a place where someone could bet, unless there are some scumbags out there that doesn't want you to win.
Gambling might be a tool or a Cause but it is not really a  threat, IMO.

It can be a platform in a way that gambling is addictive to some people who are frustrated to be rich in an instant. Actually it is an addictive activity in the first place. The brain would want the gambler to play more and more as they are experiencing a win, due to the rewarding system which is a bit of a conditioning to an individual.

At first, you will realize gambling is for fun, but once you experienced winning a lot of money in gambling that will be the time you will realize if gambling is really a threat or fun for you because you might have changes in your attitude while playing in gambling that you always seek just to play gambling whether it is for entertainment or to earn money.

That is why proper self regulation should be prioritized by the gamblers more than earning profit. I do tend to set limit of amount I can afford losing on that day that I would gamble to not be consumed of such activity.

If gambling is done for fun then its a threat , if we do gambling correctly knowing risks then everything is good , short answer but its true

[Question123]

Playing a gambling can both cause of threat and having fum

For the threat because you can lose your money because gambling is one of the dangerous ways so it will be easy for your money to gone if you are very careless using it while playing.

While having fun is happiness we know if we are stress or any bad day that we had once we play we enjoy it and and make double happiness if that day you gonna win more money in gambling.

The two choice is depends to you on how you handle and control yoursels if you not want a bad outcome don't play  if you are not risk taker but if you are ready to lose and to win money gambling is for you .

[thisappointed]

It is actually both. The moment you started playing gambling, you are already threatening yourself while having fun, the threat is losing, and of course the fun part is when you are winning, you are also enjoying. But, the thing is that sometimes, we are missing the threatening part of it, since it is getting block up by the joy we are experiencing whenever we play gambling.

gbling is usually harmless and brings a lot of fun and brings a lot of money to the table and jobs for people

I am not sure about that, because even if you have some control, you can't control the gambling site itself for you to avoid losing your money, there is no fun in that, that being said, it is already a threat to us since money is important and our goal is to double it up by playing in gambling, not losing it.

[LogitechMouse]

For me it's both, only two things will happen to you, you either will lose a lot of money and lose yourself or you will have some fun playing games and refresh your mind from all the tiring works, you just have to choose between the two if you cannot control it you will fall into the first one where you are going to lose a lot and end up in misery, but if you can control it enjoy playing the game and continue to do so.

Yeah both of that can happen but the most likely to happen for some gamblers is the first one because of their greediness. Although there are some gamblers who are enjoying also even though they lost a lot of money, most of them feel the opposite.

Controlling yourself is the first thing that a gambler must have if they really want to gamble and spend more time on it. One thing more is that, if you see gambling as a way to have some fun and a stress reliever then it is ok if you lost your money. What is important is you enjoyed.

This question is always on my mind since then until now. I want to know the opinion of everyone here on this platform. I know that we have all different perception about gambling, so I respect what will be your point of view about that.

But to share my opinion, I consider gambling as a threat to gamblers. Yes, there are a lot of people who find happiness in gambling if and only if they can control their selves from this, but no matter how fun can gambling gives to you, the problem is still there, the addiction on it is always there, it grows day by day. There are so many disadvantages of being so addicted in gambling, one of which is forgetting your priority, spending your time to your family and your friend, you won't be able to more productive things than losing money, to the point that even you already lose and don't have enough money to play, you will make ways, there are times that you will ask a request to your friend to give you money as debt. You should be the one who controls the gamble and don't let the gamble control you.

It ofcourse depends in how you take it. Not everyone views gambling the same way, for some, it's a hope of earning some money or doubling their holdings. For some, it's a fun way to utilize their money. Whatever people may say, profit are always the center of attraction for gamblers. The difference is some are going for a number or nothing while some stay on their course even if they win a bit or lose.

Gambling can be a threat and also a set of fun but it depends on how you will be able to control it. There are a lot of people who are playing or gambling is just because they are making friends or they are getting more friends and connections on different terms and also there are people who are intent to be it as a threat because they are being addicted on it and that's the bad part of it because if you have been addicted on it that would be the start that it will became threat for you and for your family as well.

Gambling is meant for fun and enjoyment, it becomes threat when it becomes obsession. Gambling is never a threat for gamblers it is way for a gambler to relax and enjoy his day. Addiction is everywhere, you cannot associate it only with gambling. Yes, people get destroyed because of addiction, it is self control and discipline that can help you to stop becoming an addict.

Gambling is really meant for fun and to earn money or else to gamble your money, but the thing is do you have been able to controlled it? Gambling was made for those people who want to spent sometime to relax and have fun or to entertain theirselves but lately it becomes addiction in which almost all of the people who are just seeking it as a fun on the first time they eventually sees it as a addiction and that's why ut becomes a threat for them. It is really hard to controlled it but you need to, for your safety measures also.

To which you would need to check your self to see a glimpse of who you will be in case you will jump in to the gambling world. You can't just put the blame on an already established business model that you became a customer of. Much better to assess yourself and see for it what will you end up. Sometimes you just need reality checks to find out that you've been doing something wrong and it oftentimes happen to gamblers. They have these shower thoughts full of what ifs and if onlys. They think they could've done somthing better about a loss or a defeat. But the damage has been dealt. And it'll be up for them how they will deal with it.

[bitcoin31]

It is really a threat if you did not control yourslef because threat is on how you play and how much money you spend or ready to lose.

It is fun because they have players who wants to play gambling because for them it is really relaxing that makes them happy when they play gambling games. But better to think still that they have threat to your money that possible to lose once mistake that you done.

[kawetsriyanto]

~~ It is really hard to controlled it but you need to, for your safety measures also.

Yes, definitely. Self-control is something needed in every sector of life. Not only for playing gambling, but it is also needed for all other sectors. Regarding to gambling, even if it is hard but it is not impossible to have. You just need to make yourself aware of the advantage and disadvantages of gambling (positive & negative sides). And you also need to consider everything necessary in your life such as family, a career in your real-life jobs, and your social life. In addition, yes, it is indeed so important for safety both for you and your closest people.  

[Ridwan Fauzi]

You have got an answer by your statement here. Yeah namely 'control' how addictive you are to gambling if you have a good control you will never bothersome someone else that closest to you.

But when you can't control yourself to gambling, you won't happy to face yourself live, I am sure about. Because that we face is money and as you may know money is very sensitive for all human being.

So, my perpective is you are free to say gambling is a threat or a place to make you fun. Because these things will be felt by you when you can control yourself to facing it.

[sweetbet]

It depends on the person. It's a threat to persons with addictive personalities that see gambling as a way to generate an income, but it's fun for people who gamble for entertainment & within reason and know when to stop.

[maydna]

It depends on the person. It's a threat to persons with addictive personalities that see gambling as a way to generate an income, but it's fun for people who gamble for entertainment & within reason and know when to stop.

Yes, that depends on each person. People will think that gambling is a threat when they are trying to play gambling, and they get into deep of gambling, but then they realize that they can become addicted to gambling. They will try to stop gambling, and they will never go to gambling places because they know the risk.

People who think that playing gambling is for fun are people who are already playing gambling, they know the consequences inside the gambling games, they can control themselves, and they can stop gambling anytime. They don't think that gambling is a threat, but they feel that gambling is a way to have fun and enjoy every gambling game. That people can accept if they lose because, in gambling, the option will be a win or lose.

[FlightyPouch]

If gambling is done for fun then its a threat , if we do gambling correctly knowing risks then everything is good , short answer but its true

Why is that? The reason that it is even a threat is because of us gamblers. We are mainly focussing on getting a profit than have fun. We can't even blame gambling for that since we all know how it always go when we humans hold unto something.

[LogitechMouse]

It's a threat to persons with addictive personalities that see gambling as a way to generate an income,

Well, it really is a threat since most of the gamblers right now sees gambling as another source of income. That is their main reason why they are gambling, to generate income in a quick and easy way which is wrong. If you really want to have income, work hard and work smart and don't gamble.

but it's fun for people who gamble for entertainment & within reason and know when to stop.

Only few sees gambling like this. Most of them don't know when to stop and even they lose their money, they will find a way to get some money.
