Is gambling a threat or fun?

[Question123]

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.

Yes for the country or place who experiencing quarantine playing gambling can give to us joy and happiness because in our situation we stay at home so of course we need to do something to not to be bored.

It is really fun for the players who can manage his own money and it turn into threat once a player are really addicted and they are very greedy to play and to earn money.

We can make a choice what happens to us so if we do not want to lose money just control yourself and once you lose the money that you play on the specific day don't add because instead of having fun a player can lose a lot of money .

Because I like to play gambling, I have entered several sites. And gambling is fun in personal experience, because by gambling I can make money with the victory that I experienced. Although sometimes losing more than winning, it's really fun.

It is fun betting but I'm afraid losing is not funny. If you're enjoying in placing your bets and eventually will be replaced by sadness because you lost, don't you think it is pointless? having a seconds of happiness that will vanished into thin air after those seconds, I mean, I'd rather bet it on something more important like starting your own business, cause without a doubt, that'll give you the real happiness because the income is really good.

I have a friend who is addicted in both gambling and alcohol, but luckily he survived, he listened to our advices and he is now an entrepreneur, it all depends whether we want it seriously or not. The change begins in ourselves.

Gambling should be fun for the first place, that is my opinion. Therefore you should know your limits which you shouldn't cross. Once you step out towards addiction that is very dangerous path and then gambling becomes a threat.
Of course that losing isn't fun but that is also part of gambling and you should accept it that way, of course in the range that you can afford to lose

This is a kind of fun that is risky, but we should not put ourselves into risk because we are gambling to enjoy and win at the same time, but we have to accept the reality that even if we try really hard, winning most of the time is only for the casinos, so let us easily accept when we lose.

I have experience being addictive and I don't want to see other people getting addicted too because it's not easy, it could be a threat to destroy your life and you'll also become a threat to people around you as addiction if serious cold lead to a person of committing crime, of course I'm just talking of the worse case scenario, but this is possible.

Losing is not funny only when you wager too much. Otherwise it is just a fun experience. If you keep your bets small, you'll get the satisfaction of gambling and maybe winning some money too. The key is being not too greedy.

If you think your income from your job is low and you start gambling because of that, it is not a good idea.

If that money that is being used in gambling is your budget for your family, then it's not fun I think, it's an ultimate loss. But if you're just taking it as entertainment then it can't be a threat. The purpose of gambling in your life depends on your actions and how you will take it. Just play because you need to play, not because you need to earn and I agree to what @mindrust said, let's not be greedy 'cause we all know that gambling is not a good of way of making profits.

[Saint-loup]

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 depends on what type of games you're playing.
If you play poker or sport betting for example you'll not systematically lose money. If you have good skills for them, you can even win money.

[panganib999]

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.

Threat on the sense that you wont able to control gambling and yes there were lots of people who do fail on doing this one thats why they do end up on playing and getting theirselves addicted in the end of the day.Playing gambling isnt bad as long you do know on how to play with moderation and self control.Once you do saw that you are already doing some signs of addiction then better stop mid-way rather than letting yourself go through addiction and
mess out your life.Remember, that once damage was done then its already hard to break chains with it.Addiction is something that would really be hard
to remove on someone.If you dont like unfortunate things to happen in your life then better to think carefully before you do gamble and if you are an emotional type of person then better not consider gambling in the first place.

Gambling is fun yet could be a threat. Indeed, gambling is fun and entertaining but unfortunately, gambling could only be harmless if one knows how to control it and have self-discipline. To be fair let's also look on a positive side of gambling, improves social skills, decision making efficiency, and improves focus and ability which we may think it's fun because all of these are the things we are gaining in casino but we see these positive sides because we are winning, how about when we are losing? That is where negatives and threats approaching. Gambling effects is depending on the people who are doing it, if they will exhibit addictive behavior or have build great self-control. But most of the time, it's a threat that leading to addiction and cause many problems from financial losses and mental to physical health.

Maybe, if we have money and time management, self-control, self-discipline, knows the chances of winning and losing, recognizes gambling as fun and knows how to stop, Gambling will be harmless and will not be labelled as threat.

Depends also what cards you get because yes poker or other games needs skills before you win because they have many combination and a player to learn about different techniques on how to win.

But trully that once a player is addicted is many of them are forget what they need to do first or their priority because the only need they think is play gambling and using more money even that is use for their needs they still playing that become threat to you and family of the player.

Definitely because it's up to the gambler on how they will handle themselves, there are responsible but we can't deny that there are also people who can't learn from their mistakes and they don't know they are already destroying their life because of gambling.

However, we can't blame gambling for that, we need to blame the gambler.

Just like a criminal kill someone with a gun, we don't blame the gun but the criminal.

Gambling is really entertaining plus the fact that there's a money involve makes it more exciting. However not all gamblers are treating it the way it supposed to be because some people are playing to double their money or to become rich. Gambling can be a good way to entertain ourselves but it can also ruin someone's lives if the particular gambler became addicted.

Agree, basically it all depends on the gamblers themselves about what and how they use gambling, because even though they make gambling as a source of income but on the one hand they have good control and management, of course things like this will not make gambling a threat to his life. I think, as long as they can play or gamble by being aware of all the risks, it will be fine because they are prepared with bad risks that may occur, but when they have the awareness, of course they will also have good control and know when to stop when lose and also win.

It's not a plush as we don't call it gambling if there is no money involve, you risk your money and your could either win or lose, there is a risk.

However not all gamblers are treating it the way it supposed to be because some people are playing to double their money or to become rich. Gambling can be a good way to entertain ourselves but it can also ruin someone's lives if the particular gambler became addicted.

To expect or to hope to become rich is not a bad thing, but gamblers needs to understand that it's not easy as they think, they need to be realistic and beat the percentage that only few of the gambler who aim to be rich became successful.

Choosing the game is vital, if you are fan with sports, you do sports betting and your aim is to grow by improving your skills and consider it as your passion, that way you'll always love what you do and you'll be inspired.

there is a gambling that does not involved with money and it still labeled as a gambling because of the games that have been used but many new games can also be used on gambling and not just the traditional ones  .  sticking games is okay , i remember one time i want to play all games  .it makes me tired and loose more than i expect to win  . that is why i ony foccus on one game , i already develop a good strat which makes me earn something good  . and yes we should stick on reality and not too assuming because that can lead to a bigger bust  than on getting smal wins

There's standard way nor strategy with regards to the way how you treat gambling. Thus it doesn't matter if you're placing your bet with huge proportion of your capital as long as you know what you're doing. At the end of the day, the output of your play will determine if the way you treat gambling is wether correct or not. In most cases even though you think that what you do is correct, output will still end against what you're expecting which is just normal.

Though we can do both,entertaining while profiting but?if we knew how to manage our gaming purpose.
normal that lose is there and we need to accept that but at least we have enjoyed the whole playing time.
the problem occur if gamblers seek fro revenge i mean try to chase their losses and in this part most of them turns to be addicted and greed.
know how to manage gambling and surely your future will never be ruined .

For most players it's just a hobby, but sometimes it can turn into a real addiction!
By the way, there is a need to separate types of gambling... For example, bets on sports, in my opinion, are less dangerous than slot machines! I sometimes bet on the victory of the team for which I will be cheering, and watch the match with friends! For me, it's just extra emotions and entertainment...

[Gotumoot]

It depends on the person, maybe gambling for them is just a hobby and to other is an addiction they are looking for, And if they lose control this can be cause their life to be ruined. And for me gambling is just a hobby and I have control of myself especially when I know losing,  so all I have to do is shutdown my computer and find something else to spend time.

It depends on the gambler himself. It could be either of the two. I agree that gambling is just a mere hobby and pastime to some that develops into addiction overtime depending on a person’s self-control. Some even started it off as form of entertainment, but went over board. It’s also true that there are different types of gambling hence, must be separated from one another.

For me, casinos enterprises are the trickiest among all. Other gambling forms like what you said, betting in sports (basketball, soccer, football, volleyball, ice hockey, etc) really gives off entertainment and thrill because you bet on it and you exert effort to cheer them to win.
