Is gambling a threat or fun?

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

Gambling can be threat or fun that it depends to a person if they will take gambling as a leisure time whenever they are just bored or they will take gambling to earn easy money by just playing. But mostly gambling is a threat because there are people who takes gambling seriously as a profit, not for entertainment that they always lead to greed and aggression in betting.

[Best Dreams]

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.

Definitely agreed. On the other hand, it's still depening on the gamblers though most of them have been already eaten of the system since they are missing something which is the discipline. Gambling isn't really made nor intended to be like that but rather it's made to give hope for people that with small money they are willing to risk, their lives can change for good. Some people doesn't see that perspective perhaps they are blinded of their greediness.

Yeah, it is surely not good to become overconfident about gambling. Once you win in gambling you will soon realize that it has the ability to give you Money so then you will be able to use it both for fun and its not bad if you use it for the money-making resource so just chill and enjoy gambling when you enjoy and get fun from it you will not take the stress and will remain healthy.

That's great! You sound like a person with a lot of self-control. Not all gamblers are like that and that's when gambling addiction starts. I agree that gambling should be fun. It's not always about the winning. Sometimes it's in the thrill of expectation will my team win.

No, not really. I still feel that I need more practice to control myself because I sometimes lose my control, especially if I meet my friends in one game, and we play many rounds together. Yes, I agree that it's not always about the winning, but it's something how you can enjoy the games. If I meet my friends, sometimes, we talk to each other while we played, and no matter if he wins or I win, that don't make us want to try to get the loose money. 

Perhaps, you need to reduce the tension in the gambling and try to get out for a while and take a deep breath. With that, I think you will have the power to control yourself, and if you come back to that game, hopefully, you can take care of your mind.

But mostly gambling is a threat because there are people who takes gambling seriously as a profit, not for entertainment that they always lead to greed and aggression in betting.

First, it was entertainment but after a few plays things will be changed unnoticed and in every game, there will become thrilled and excited, the fun will likely become a habit and that habit will be pushed to become an addiction. This is the time you need to stop because it will lead to your own destruction when you lose everything and keep coming back. You will encourage yourself to get back what you've lost which rarely happens to some gamblers. when they already lost big and manage to get it back somehow that's very rare.

If it's too much fun in gambling, of course this will be addictive and will be difficult to stop because they want to always be greedy what he won in the game, so it's no wonder many people do this and indeed the beginning for entertainment but for a long time it's hard to stop therefore we must be able to control themselves when playing gambling I'm sure with self-control then their finances will remain stable and will not be lost by gambling.

At this time many people are at home of course they will often play and therefore must maintain a balance in their financial self so as not to burden your needs.

IMO, not all that receives fun and amusement in gambling is going to become gambling addicts or get addictions. Often it's their way of relieving their tension from their job or other issues that really distress their lives. As long as you're having fun, and that's your one and only gambling intent, addiction won't be the case if you stay longer.

People aren't being greedy when they won, for some it's just a matter of satisfaction and that's it. You'll just get greedy if you're having an expectation to win again in gambling game due to high profit. Similar with playing online games, my truly purpose is just to have fun with friends and to relieve stress from school, getting addicted to online games is not an issue for me.

I agree with that. Sometimes there are individuals that will just go to casino during their holiday vacation. Just to have some fun during their leisure time. So for those people that will gamble occasionally, gambling is only for fun, not a threat by any means. It will only be a threat if you will be addicted to it to the point that your savings is being depleted as well as your assets.

Gambling is really not a threat it is for fun and at the same time we can earn on it depending on how we handle it. Gambling cannot harm us if we can control our emotion while doing so. I believe that the only threat on gambling is when we become addicted on it and we cannot control our emotions.

A player who are emotional and no budgeting their money gambling will be threat for them.
I was being emotional too in the gambling before and I was lose a lot of money that is a threat.
It was fun if the gambler winning money and also using a small money but if the money they bet is very high like hundred dollars or thousands dollars they have pressure for sure.

[limazulu]

Gambling only becomes a threat if you don't play within your means.

If you know you're the type of person who can't stick to a budget, then gambling becomes a threat.

If you borrow money just so you can play, then gambling becomes a threat.

It is easier in theory.Even for me who have been strictly following my monthly bankroll there has been times like this month that I won a bit of money in slots and I thought why not play to get that 10.000x bet which led me to losing not only my won amount but also a lot of unplanned money.Bottom line is no one can really control their emotions so gambling can become from fun to threat in an instant.

That's most likely will happen if we are weak in controlling your emotion, you got greedy when you win and when you lose as well that's why you lose your discipline, but you should learn from that as its normal for gamblers to make mistakes.

Bottom line is no one can really control their emotions so gambling can become from fun to threat in an instant.

I disagree with this, maybe there are people or a lot of people can't control their emotion but I'm sure there are gamblers who are discipline enough to control their emotion and stay responsible while gambling.

Gambling for me is fun or hobby... I like watching football and betting! I get double gambling! Team win and money win, or losing everywhere...

I don't think that kind of gambling can hurt me...

How do you actually cope when you are losing? because I think there's no fun in losing money right? So it is clear that there is 2 sides, to experience the fun when we are winning, or we are threatened because our funds are at risk to when we are losing so we want to play more and win back our loses?

Well, for me, there is a threat in gambling, but we can experience the fun in it if we know our limitations. How? Just set a standard betting amount that we are all willing to lose, that don't affect us and our needs. That is how we should handle gambling. Not just betting and losing everywhere like we are the richest person in the world.

Until getting addicted everyone has the same opinion as you but the first step is to lose the emotional control. Not only logic control use, there is a big portion of control by the human emotions which can lead to the unnecessary decisions during the game session.

[Serious475]

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.

Gambling is all about fun and positive vibes if we control ourselves from being addicted but if we became addicted to it, it is the time when it becomes a threat. Control is the key to be a successful gambler and greediness is the key to be the worst. We can control ourselves and avoid being addicted if we limit our lose of money everyday. Example, you will stop gambling for the day if you alreadt lose three times. It will help you for sure.

Gambling is intended for fun purposes. OP if you believe that gambling is a threat then you are too close minded. It's like eating cake is a threat too? Because eating too much cake is dangerous to your health too. Stop being funny OP. Life itself is a gamble. Everything in this world needs control and balance.

[LincolnMikkel]

Well, I guess its kinda the same as crypto is. You should not spend money that is not OK to lose else it is really funny and sometimes profitable to gamble. So my answer is both.

It is not that OP is close minded.
Gambling can be turned up to thread as well.
It depends on the person that gambles - if he is "close-minded" as you said he might end up loosing all of his money. Then there is not any fun in that but only threads of loosing all your money.

I don't set the primary goal of making money... For me, it's first of all about getting emotions! And winning is a nice addition! When I place a bet, I realize that I can both win and lose! And with a bad outcome, I won't think about how to get back my money!

I hope I can deal with my emotions!
