Is gambling a threat or fun?

[RevainSupport]

Hey guys!

We are Revain, the biggest review platform for crypto community. It was brought to our attention that crypto casinos are quite popular right now and we’re wondering whether it’s an area worth exploring. Are they legit and fair? How do the they differ from traditional online casinos that accept fiat? What are their main selling points?

We have a bunch of people who love reviewing various projects, exchanges and wallets, and recently they asked us to add crypto casinos category. So we did: https://revain.org/casinos

What you think about the casinos we listed? You can create an account and leave reviews on any casino. We want to understand whether they have any future and should we continue to push this category.

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

earning money and earning unpredictable rwards really mess with dopamine systems on the brain
it's something to be alert about and always aware.
definitely.

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.

But if they spend a lot of time on gambling with a good income then that is not a threat, right? Because even though we spend a lot of time in gambling it does not guarantee that gambling is a threat if we have good control, because with a longer duration in playing gambling it depends on the strategy and also the capital owned, and by having good control of course it's is a skill that allows you to spend more time in gambling because you can manage things well.

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.

I think that the border between threat and fun is hairs breadth, one day you are having fun then the next day you are addicted. I consider gambling as a threat because this is is just an elaborate ruse for the businessmans to get the consumers money. You might be having fun, but that is because you are playing with your friends but when you are not playing with friends then you will lose track of how long you have been playing so I consider it a threat.

[btc78]

That will be either of the 2 depend on how you treat this habit.

If you gamble to have fun  then there will no threat at all but if you play to make a living then that is a threat automatically because you are risking your life and you family in games that has no assurance of winning instead this is mostly for losing.

So think what you want in gambling and push your life to betterment and enjoy gambling for fun not for desperation.

Playing together with friends doesn't guarantee your safety. It's not unheard of that friends are encouraging each other to gamble more, or to make higher stakes.

I suggest to count on yourself only, when dealing with this sensitive matter. You yourself can be that friend, in the best sense of the word, who helps others to not turn their gambling into disaster, but you can't count on others to do the same.

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.

It depends on the gamblers themselves.

It can be a fun for them if they know how to control themselves, have discipline and know how to stop if you need too. On the other hand, it can be a threat for the gambler if they don't know how and when to stop especially if they are losing too much money.

For me, instead of deciding if gambling is a threat or fun it would be better to just stop gambling at all .

[l3pox]

Nah, gambling is no real thread, Coronavirus is.

Jokes apart, as usual always exercise caution with things that can be addicting
and yes, gambling canbe addicting.

Being a person we all have different perspective in life. Yes agree it depends upon the person if it will be threat or fun for him / her . Why stick to gambling when it is not beneficial at all ? Gambling does not require us to put all of what we have. Instead,put all what we can afford to lose and do not be so greedy. It is not bad to play. The thing is, do not be so greedy.

That's human nature, being greedy when opportunity knocks in. It is easy to say but once you are eaten by the system, it is hard to get out. So before things get nasty, you need to decide for yourself which path will you take. The fun or the threat? It all depends on you because no one else will help you but yourself.

[LbtalkL]

It is both but it really depends on the person how you handle things, It is fun when you are winning or just betting some small amount just a few bucks there is no risk. But it is a threat when you are really engage or addicted to it and can't control yourself, even spending funds for your family to gambling it is not really good, If you are already in that situation I hope you can overcome it, be responsible in what you do.

When it came to human nature, we will feel greedy, especially if we can win on those games. No matter what, we want to make another winning by playing more because we think, "Ah, my lucky time coming, why I don't play one more time?"

Almost every gambler has been feeling, and we know that if we win, the greediness will become bigger, so that depends on us, how we treat gambling itself. If we think that gambling is to have fun, then we can stop gambling anytime, and we realize that winning is a bonus for us because we are having fun inside the games.

Bro at that point, you are addicted and you don't need to choose between a threat or fun since neither of it describes the state that you are in. I can say that all of the bets that you are doing for fun or not, it is a threat. A threat because you are putting your money and yourself and that money into risk and you being addicted to gambling. It will always be a threat since no one knows what might happen if you continue what you are doing.

[Sadlife]

You can't really get an only one answer because each person has different opinions and experience when it comes to gambling for some of us here, including me prefers gambling as a way to relax and to have fun with the idle money that we have especially with this quarantine. It's a way to get of boredom but for some it literally destroyed their very lives.

[AicecreaME]

Gambling can either be a threat and fun to oneself. It just depends on how you view it, how much you allot time to it, and how much you take control of it. Gambling is a form of entertainment to some and it's their way of having a fun time, chilling and just playing. For me it can be both depending on the person doing it.

Gambling can be a threat to someone's life if

1. You didn't put a limitation and boundary on how far you can gamble upon. This is one of the major point i see why gambling can become a threat. Most people don't know where to draw the line. They don't know when to continue and stop and were driven by their emotions and needs disregarding their rational thoughts resulting to unfortunate events.

2. It becomes an addiction. When someone didn't put a limitation, this is one of the result. Majority of their money, energy, and time goes in gambling. They would risk almost everything they have just to feed their need to gamble which is very theatening and a very serious matter that should be immediately addressed.

3. No time for other things. Since you become addicted to it, almost all of your time will be consumed by it resulting to less quality time for loved ones and even for yourself. You won't have enough time to grow and improve yourself physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually because you spend most of you time in casinos or online gambling sites.

It can also be a form of entertainment or just for fun if you know your limits. You know when to play gambling and does not go overboard what you set for yourself. I think this is the general point for gambling to be just for fun. If you want to have a good time, play wisely and balance things out. You make sure that you're able to do your daily routine and work. Gambling must not negatively affect your life and lifestyle as well if you do this just for fun only.

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 might be depending on the person, we know that there are different types of people in other people gambling might be all about just entertainment or fun but for others, it might be just all about profit.

I don't think gambling is a threat to us, Yes we are putting our money or investment into risk by playing it in gambling but at the same time you might win the game and double your investment, Also at any moment you could stop gambling if you wanted, they said you are addicted and you cannot stop to gamble? Maybe you cant? At this point maybe the problem is you and not gambling itself. Being greedy to profit or maybe it was just entertainment to you obviously if it is already going to affect you, family, you might already being selfish and the problem is you.

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.

True that balance is the key but greed is what makes people go out of way. And since gambling involves money and people think it is very easy and quick way to make money from it this is where many gets addicted to it and in process of making huge money, they lose out a lot of money. Unless people who have self-control and can resist, they are in a good position to quit any time else it would be difficult for people to exit. So those who play for fun will always be fun for them else it can even become threat for people who just play for money.

Gambling should be played with caution and you are right it is very addictive. I have attended the casino as entertainment to share with friends and I have not gone to waste my money because I am in control, not gambling controls me.

[Debonaire217]

The case here is that, if we are winning, we don't think something bad through it. Even though we win too much and play too much, we are still considering that as an act of professional gambling. But looking at the other side, if one is gambling and then he losses, people call him addict, even himself, but in the first place, a person who is winning too much who plays the same amount of games compared to those who lost and being affected negatively.

The lesson here is look at the brighter side of gambling, do not care about your losses, and do not think about being addict, as it limits our opportunity to be positive in playing. What is better to do is to set limitation for our losses and play infinitely while we are winning.

Good for you because you have the control of yourself when it comes to gambling. Most of the gamblers out there are the opposite of it and that is the reason why they are getting addicted into it.

If you will go to a casino with your friends, it would be better if you don't get any money at all and just watch them gambling and don't tempt to go back in that casino alone and try to gamble too because some of the watchers in a casino goes back the next day and they will try to gamble too and they will try what the gamblers are feeling while gambling. Controlling yourself in gambling is very hard to obtain but if you have it, it can increase your chance in winning because you when to continue and when to stop in gambling.
