Is gambling a threat or fun?

[Best Dreams]

It simply is related to self-control. Those who have control over their greed and they know what amount of money actually they can spend on gambling are the ones who enjoy playing this game. Those who have sole objective of gambling to make money are the ones who often get addicted and frustrated.

To be honest, not all of them are being addicted to gambling.

I do also want to earn money from gambling, and again, to be honest, that is one of the purposes why I am gambling; all of us are dreaming of winning something from gambling. It really depends on the gambler himself since if he really is a responsible human being, he will never let himself be addicted to gambling, he knows when to stop and he knows that no matter what happens, gambling will never be a source of income and you are just having fun.

I never believe this thing that people gamble for the sake of fun only. Even in seeking fun, a part of them wants money, it becomes happy by the very idea of being rewarded in the form of money. So yes everyone gambles for money and we shall gamble smartly in order to save ourselves from losses and meet success.

Gambling should always be fun. If you see that gambling is taking control over your life then is a threath to.your phisical wellbeing. This often goes to addiction and many don't recognize that.
Everyone wants to make money with gambling and that is fine but you have to know yourself and know your limits. Aa long as you enjoy and you don't endanger your financial situation and your health gambling is a positive thing.

[LogitechMouse]

I will explain on both sides because gambling can be a threat of a fun for the gamblers.

Threat - Gambling will be a threat when you got addicted into it and you are doing bad things that you are not doing when you aren't addicted into it. Gambling will be a threat to gamblers if they can't control themselves and their minds thinks only gambling. It will be a threat when they spend most of their time and money into it which can lead to nothing TBH.

Fun - Simple as this. Gambling will be a fun for gamblers if they are happy doing it and they know when to stop if they lose their money that is allocated for gambling only.

Everyone wants to make money with gambling and that is fine but you have to know yourself and know your limits.

We have to do this because we are responsible, we are not gambling to be rich although its possible because we will just only lose more and more money.
This could be a shortcut to financial success but we are taking a very big risk here, and everyone is not willing to do that and some does not even know they are already taking a big risk without seeing it, that is due to addiction.

As long as you enjoy and you don't endanger your financial situation and your health gambling is a positive thing.

It pretty much fit me, I am gambling for fun right now although that ambition to make money and be successful is still their.
But you are right, limitation is very important as that would limit the risk also.

Gambling it will become threat to us if we are losing control using and spending our money to the gambling.
It will turn into fun if we enjoy playing gambling because they ahve times it is one of my stress reliever.
I believe we chose when gambling become threat or fun but we need to prevent a threat to our money when we are playing.

[Debonaire217]

Mainly, the threat to people isn't gambling itself, it is their own decision making that makes such a wonderful industry of gambling becomes negative. How? Most of the people are getting addicted just because they earn a little. Some other person can see gambling as their way of showing others how rich they are, which turns out to their funds getting lost because of playing too much and betting big amount at once.

I could say, gambling do really induces a positive experience if you only bet something you could afford to lose, when in case you have too much of a cryptocurrency that you think isn't worth the investment, then gamble it. Try to test your luck without thinking that you might lose something important.

Well, If I am to answer the subject "Is gambling a threat or fun?", it weighs more on the fun side as I know in myself that I can control my funds, and I am not betting amounts exceeding my limitation alloted to gambling.

Yes it will become a threat because some people when playing gambling they cannot control their emotions. It should be treated for entertainment and we should have discipline during playing gambling. That’s what we have to do to make things right to avoid gambling a threat and lose our money.

Threat -for you if you treat Gambling as a Source of Income to earn more quick Money and also if you become addicted to gambling because you could lose all the money you have and also this will ruined your life because you can't control your self to gamble.

I believe almost 80 percent of gambling community is either addicted or use it as an earning source. I do know few firends of mine who have been utilising most of their salary to feed their addiction.

Fun- is when you treat Gambling as a time wasting and for fun only,  If you have control to your self and know your limitations .

I use is it to pass time and I am not gambling everyday as I am too pre occupied with my work. I believe you can also if you choose to work more than sit and gamble.

have you ever met people who live only out of gambling and nothing else?
are there people like that or not?

[rdluffy]

It will depends on the person, there's are people who are addicted to a lot os stuff like drinking, gambling, drugs etc
Some people can gambling without lose control, like me, so FOR ME it's just a hobby that I know how much I can gamble and nothing more, if I won, great, If I lose ok too

The own person have to know if he or she is weak to control their emotions in gamble, so this subject is more complex than we can discuss here, it's on the side of psychology

I believe we chose when gambling become threat or fun but we need to prevent a threat to our money when we are playing.

What do you mean, mate? Not really sure that I get the point of this statement. Can you explain it a bit longer?  
In my opinion, fun or not will depend on how someone's perception of playing gambling. If he feels that gambling is one of the sources to get entertainment, so he will be fun in gambling. While if he thinks too seriously and assumes that gambling is only for money, then it will hard for him to enjoy and have fun in gambling.

Maybe it means choosing to gamble for fun if you can make gambling just entertainment, and when you make gambling for a source of income then maybe it is a threat because you will continue to gamble until eventually it will only threaten your money. But apart from these two factors, I think the threat in gambling will always be there, because gambling is only for fun or even making gambling as a source of income can still be done without threatening your money if you have good control.

So long as you keep your greed under control and don't start betting amounts you can't afford to lose, then gambling isn't a threat.

In reality, it's only a threat for those with even very low will power, or extreme risk takers that don't know when to call it quits. As such, anybody who has either of these two personality types should probably avoid gambling, as this is an industry where self control is an absolute must.

With that said, it might not be something that is entirely possible to control, since it appears to have a genetic basis: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191009131740.htm

Well said mate, If everything is under your control then gambling wouldn't be threat for you, if you can still control yourself form gambling then it would not harm yourself, it will be only fun for you, if you are only considering it as your entertainment, or if you don't bet so much money, knowing that it would be a low chance to win the game,

Once you became addicted in gambling it can destroy your life, you won't be more productive in everything. What you should do to prevent that thing is, you should know how to limit yourself, you should bring only limited amount of your money, so you won't be able to bet so much money, do not be so addicted on it because there is no good things about gambling, if it controls you.

Gambling is a kind of quick income of profits in the world, but it is difficult for us to win everyday in gambling because it is a 50:50 percent if you lose or win in once gambling. Setting gambling as threat or fun will depends on you perspective and past experience, if for you playing gambling is lucky, because you've earned more profits. But there are some instances, that gambling is a threat, because many gamblers wants to recover they're lose assets by just playing again and again, so that they wouldn't controlled themselves in playing gambling and it reflects to us, as a threat.
 

[iamsheikhadil]

It's a very subjective question. It can be threat if you are like constantly gambling when you have important bills to pay or like you don't earn very much yet you can't get rid of expensive gambling. Gambling should always be treated as "expense" as in long run you can never win, hence, basically you shouldn't consider it as a way to make more money as it's really not a profession.

That's an interesting research, only I'm afraid it can serve as an excuse for not fighting their addiction for some addicted gamblers. Many of us are genetically predisposed to many bad things, such as obesity, promiscuity, alcoholism etc. The key is to find strength within yourself to challenge those predispositions, and, in fact, many brave people succeed in that. It is much more interesting to be one of them, than to be of the whining losers blaming genetics for their failure.

Well, the correct answer for your question is both. Gambling can be fun or threat to yourself or to others and also fun for yourself and the others. Gambling can result in theif and also selling personal stuff just to have money for gambling. I'm sure you know what I mean. My answer is either a threat or fun that really depends on the person being a gambler.

exactly:
balance is the key.

remember that we can even die of drinking too much water.

so, even water could be in a balance between health and being a threat.

[ArIMy11]

At the first place, I think gambling is created for fun and at the same time to earn money. I think it can only harm if you become addicted to it. Like what what they say, "too much is bad". You also become greedy because money involve and that is what is want. Let us just be disciplined enough and must set a limit to ourselves when it comes to gambling

[coin-investor]

It depends on your level if you play within your means and with the time that you allocated then it's just for fun, but if you play all day or all night and you have to spend a lot of money to the point that you loan money to loan sharks and your friends then this it's beome a big threat for you.
