Is gambling a threat or fun?

[Bohxz M4p4gm4h4l25]

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.

This was a basic principle in starting gambling, as a player  you should be responsible to your behaviour so that you can avoid such addiction. Setting a limitations can surely discipline your game time and save you from creating debt. We should keep in mind that Gambling is just for fun and should not result to addiction.

I strongly agree with you especially with the last sentence. In addition to that, we should not treat gambling as a way to make profit because it is not. It is designed to take money from you so if you want to gamble then it should just be purely for fun though we should guard ourselves with addiction even if your mindset doesn't mind the profit because having fun in gambling is a strong force to be addicted and that's just no in gambling tho.

if you are playing for the first time it's a threat because you are facing a situation where you will have to decide on how you are going to react as a gambler and this is not easy for new gambler, but once you overcome this and you build a character and you are in control on how you gamble, then it become fun.

That's correct, first time gamblers normally loses easily but but if we are gambling for fun only, I think there's less threat or risk because we will eventually stop when the ran out of money, that's people normally do when they try to have fun.

Threat is quite very serious word being use here, meaning it could destroy our lives, and we gamblers don't want to experience that, so we have to ensure we are at the sound mind and we have proper discipline when we are gambling, that's how to reduce the risk.

Nahhh, it will always be a threat if your initiative is to win some money when gambling, and it is going to be fun if you want it to be fun and have fun playing. I usually go out with my friends and have a bonding time with them while gambling, or I will just invite them at my house and play some cards that is gambling and having fun. But if I wanna make it a threat I will go online alone and play hoping that I would win some money.

It is going to depend on you if you want gambling to be threat or fun, just be responsible gambler all the time.

If the person or player knows how to discipline herself she can reasonably play gamble because even if she have money but still she cannot control herself at the end she will be addicted. First of all we play gamble just for fun and to become stress free so make sure to limit yourself if something happens like you lose your money because of it. Prepare a certain amount that you can afford to lose and dont ever use debt just to play again.

Gambling can be a threat or fun depending on the discipline of the user. As a gambler we should play responsible and we should know it from the beggining. A lot of people become addicted because they tend to chase money they do not realize that they are ending up as an addict. Worse thing is that they use debt just to play and this was not a good thing to do. You can gamble if you have a budget but you dont have it is better to work and earn money.

absolutely true mate, nowadays gambling is a threat for me. Since i cant stop the urge to test my method of winning at options and trading. I already tries demo account on many days, but when it comes to real account, everything changes. But for the last week, i made huge mistake, i get back to my blackjack mode at another casino, and it seems 2 deck strategy drag me down to the bottom. After that, since i lost my portion of my money i keep that in mind to step back from that casino ( hopefully my last visit to that site ).

Sometimes i feel gambling is fun but only if i am winning my bets but surely gambling is not a threat. If you think it is threat that why you play it ? You play gambling intentionally and with your own will , so it is not a threat. A threat is something which is accidental in nature and not in control.

We have the same feeling, I am also a person who play gambling because I want to win the game, but whenever I lose the game I feel so sad, and because of that feeling, I consider myself that the only reason why I am gamble is because of earning and not fun because I can find fun in many other things such as my friends, family, partner in life.

But on the other side, I can say that gambling is a threat. Why? Because there are a lot of gamblers in this virtual and real-world who are already addicted to it, they forget to prioritize things or to do something more productive than playing in the casino. Some gamblers, when they are losing the game, they keep on betting and hoping that they can get back the money that has failed, then the worst thing on that is gamblers might get a significant debt to others and may lose everything they have.

On that reason, I can say that it can be a threat for a person who is so addicted to gambling, in a way that they cannot already control themselves from gambling.

It's much better to use spare money and not to allow you to go deeper to the point that you'll going to barrow money or to do something not usual just to please your gambling activities. Gambling will be fun if you understand the risk, since there's  always potential that it can hurt your budgets and most of your savings will be taking away from you if you got addicted to this business.

[KrisAlex18]

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.

Indeed, it all depends on the characteristic of a person; if he has a great control on his mind, I doubt that he can consider gambling as a threat we are all cannot considered gambling as a threat if we know how to control ourselves if we know when to stop, if we do not forget to do some valuable things and if we do not forget our responsibilities as a son/ daughter, father/mother, friends.

It is much better when we are considering the gambling as entertainment and fun, to the point that we will not get mad when we are losing the game, but that is really impossible, I do not believe to all those persons who say that they cannot feel sad if they lose the game. It is impossible. Money is the main reason why we are gambling, because if we only want fun, then there are so many things that we can do to have that, we can get that from our friends, family and partners, these things that we are not required to lose our money to have fun.

And to add also, it depends on the person's priorities in life. It will be a threat, if for example he is using the money for his basic needs in gambling. He should know better that taking this money in gambling will put him in a worst situation. And if he can take that risk, it is his decision but the repercussion might be detrimental not only to him but for those individuals that are depending on him. And on the other note, gambling is fun if you are using your extra money without pressure of gaining it back. And you are only playing, for the sake of entertainment and for you, winning is just a bonus.

I know that we have all different perception about gambling

Gambling was designed or invented to entertain us but it may remain the same when gamblers do it with discipline. When they cross their limits, gambling must turn as a threat to their happier life. It is really unfortunate, an activity is becoming complete upside down based on our activities.

It is going to depend on you if you want gambling to be threat or fun, just be responsible gambler all the time.

I believe everything in our life is no different from gambling; when we do at limits and within prescribed way of safe gambling then definitely gambling will be a fun activity. Gambling needs to be handled with utmost care but most gamblers do fail here due to excitements which makes gambling as a threat.

[criza]

The answer for this question would be more likely depend on the financial status of a certain gambler. If he has a lot of money and reserve, it is easier to derive from it that they are more likely playing just only for the sake of fun from the thrill and excitement but, I would not say that all of rich people play only for fun because it is unlikely that they wanted to gamble for the sake of increasing their money more. On the other side, people who are less stable in income and have no extra money to gamble with are more likely to feel more risk of losing their entire wealth over gambling, they would mostly play for the sake of income from gambling and earn money or profit for their living.

Well, I am like that too, I only feel happiness in gambling when I am winning the game if I don't win the game I get mad, and the worst thing is I cannot even control myself, to the point that I cannot limit myself from betting because I am still hoping that I can turn back the money that I have lost. That is what we called gambling as a threat because sometimes, because of suffering, we cannot realize that we are doing a wrong thing, and even we know that it is incorrect, we do not do something to stop it.
We cannot think it as a threat, we do not care anymore to the things around us because we are only focused on gambling, that is really addictive, to the point that you already forget to do more valuable things than gambling and the worst thing aside of losing our money in betting is we can also lose our relationship to our friends, family, partners and other people around us. In order for you to not define gambling as a threat, do not become addicted to it, set it as entertainment and joy.

Gabling starts when you think that it is a fun activity.

i disagree on this one Mate,because most of those who are starting gambling thinks they wanna try to double the money or at least against the table and that is what a beginners Mindset.

That's how all people see it in the beginning but as you gamble and gamble more and you start losing money then this activity becomes a thread due to the factor that might make you lose a lot of money in the end which is not actually fun.

you will lose a lot if you are a type of person that cannot Hold the feelings and desire in which always looking for wins and not accepting the reality in gambling.

So if we have a lot of money, we can enjoy the gambling game rather than people who don't have a lot of money? I don't think so because we can feel fun or enjoy the game is about how we can manage the money. It is not related to the amount of money that we have, or we used to play gambling. When you can control how much money you will use to playing gambling, I am sure you can enjoy gambling games, and you can have fun too, like the other rich people.

People who cannot manage their money in gambling will not get the fun thing, and they cannot enjoy gambling games because they will try to win, which is not easy to do that. They can risk their money, and even if that person has a lot of money, they can use all of their money without limit.

If you gamble a bit on a casual basis then everything is fine, but there is a small path between fun and addiction. Many people start betting low amounts for fun, but when they start loosing money, the put more and more money in to get their buy-in back. You should always play responsible and look at the dangers of online gambling. But keeping this in mind, gambling isn't more dangerous than drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes.

You're right but not totally in my opinion.
Yes it can be seen as a waste of time, but watching TV isn't a waste of time too? Talking on social medias about random useless topics isn't a waste of time too?
Trading is a kind of gambling but if you always lose money by trading why institutional big money corporates are trading?

[Stedsm]

IMHO, gambling can be both a threat or fun - based on how you take it. If you take gambling too seriously, I think it's not less than a threat as it'll become a stress on your mind and a passion to gamble will always be on top of your mind, while on the other hand if you take this thing lightly, I don't think that it's less than a fun way to cheer up yourself and you'll also not put money you can't afford to lose. But in any case, getting under debts to gamble should not be done at any cost because you are risking your lender's money and that isn't considered something you can afford to lose.
