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.

Globally, gambling is seen as a threat more than a fun activity you can engage in most especially as it has to do with placing a bet with money and since the chances of you wining/losing is 50/50 it becomes unpredictable with the later always been the outcome. The statistics of losing is far more than that of the wins since the industry operate on using their customers money to pay each other.

It's a global threat since most of the casino houses are affiliated with drug lords or criminals but in the perspective of a rich person who wants to be entertained in gambling, it's a fun activity. Casino houses will probably do their best not to lose any income and will put the odds on their own hands.

Customers will still go there due to its good benefits for middle-class people. Still, gambling can be also a fun activity but for some people only, so it really depends on the scenario.

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.

A good point of view, but I think there is a huge difference between "being disciplined" and "understanding that you need to be disciplined." I know some people who suffer from their gambling addiction and they perfectly understand that it would be good to get rid of it, but they themselves can not do it.

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.

This is how most of the gamblers see gambling.

It will be a threat for most of the gamblers since they see gambling as a way to get profit and not to have some fun. They believe that they will get money in an easy way thru gambling so they are throwing their money and hoping that they will get profits which is a wrong idea for them.

Even those gamblers who are just gambling for entertainment are becoming greedy when they are winning consecutively and their reason of just to have some fun will be change to get some profit since they can become a greedy gambler when they feel that they can win on that day. Winning consecutive times can make them become greedy. If you want to just gamble for fun, spend a small amount and put a target price if you win and stop when you reached that limit already if you are lucky but if you lose learn how to stop and call it a day.

Gambling is intended for fun purposes.

Of course, people would not gamble if its not fun, but with that fun, some failed to realize that they don't have the end to win.
It's always the casino that has the edge that's why they are so profitable, more gamblers having fun means more money in their pocket.

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.

There's is a threat in gambling but generally it's not a threat.
It only depends on how people manage themselves in gambling, if they are responsible and they know how to manage the risk, they will never fail in gambling, yes they will lose most likely but will not regret.

I think that gambling is fun until it becomes stressful. When you wake up in the morning and the first thing that you do is think about which matches you're gonna play, than it's a threat. But when you go out to walk your dog and you play a ticket for a buck or so, then it's more fun than a threat. I know a lot of people who does just that - every few days they play a ticket with 10 pairs and put a little money on it (under a dollar). They think of it as fun and I agree with them.

It depends on the person who will handle gambling. There are people who did not make themselves too much attached to gambling while others just choose to enjoy it. But all in all yes gambling is made is for fun. That is all where it starts. You/they will not become interested to it if you're /they find it boring from the very start.

Agree. Gambling isn't to make someone to be stress, it is a fun activity. If someone becomes stress in gambling, I guess he expects too much in earning money or too obsessed to win big prizes. I always remind myself to be a smart gambler, don't be a stupid one by hoping unreasonable things. Yes, limit your funds and think realistically is the key.

That's where most gamblers failed. Those who are addicted and really have no resources to supplement their gambling activity will experience stress like it depends their entire life on it. But for those who gamble occasionally or just use their extra funds to play will have more peace of mind and they will enjoy the gambling itself. And I think, I am included in the latter part. If I don't have extra, I prefer to spend it in more important things now that almost all of us are in bad situation.

Maybe people don't care about their lives, so they still playing gambling without stopping for a while. When the gambler can choose how they will going to treat gambling, they will think that gambling is just for fun, so they don't have to get stress because of losing the money. But we know that many gamblers already got stress when they lose and many of them want to recover the money which will be so difficult.

That's how gambling works when you lose, you always have that feeling that you need to recover that loses. That's why it's affecting your mentality when you are about to sleep, you are thinking of strategy that could work to regain your loses but it's not possible that way because gambling is all about luck. There is no strategies that actually work except you know how to stop when you're done but most of the cases people want to overcome those feelings and return back to gambling to lose again.

It's the least that they can care about.

Just because they have ruined their lives through gambling it doesn't mean that they don't care for themselves. They do and that's why they can gamble because they thought of living the life at the fullest through gambling and tried their luck because they might win big time.

[coingrowth]

It completely depends upon the person how he treats because myself, I will consider gambling for fun, today we are living in a stressful life and everybody are looking out for some fun and entertainment. People who are looking for fun will not invest much amount into gambling.

[greylandm]

While one is not losing cash needed for living it's fun else it's a threat.

It happens that simply fun can easily become an addiction! And you won't notice how you start spending more money than you can afford!
So you don't need to be too fond of gambling! And need clearly understand it's entertainment for you, or the beginning of addiction!

If you want to recover from the loss of gambling then I think it will only fall to lose again because there is no right strategy to recover the money from losing gambling and only luck will restore it.
Stay average for jugi addicts they believe in it when playing gambling again so they are always careful but still defeat they experience.
To be honest, it's hard to say that we want to get the money back because in gambling we have to be prepared with all the risks.

[romero121]

We can't term it a threat, because none force people to get into gambling. When we talk about gambling and gamblers it is purely associated with self decision. Even the one with good understanding fails, for that he never blames that gambling is bad as he considers it as fun and enjoys on winning and hope for the best while losing. Same time one without proper understanding about gambling terms it a threat as he has lost money. This is the difference of considering gambling as threat and as fun in my opinion.

There is, if you correct your mistake and you'll use the right strategy, but you should be discipline, you can win back your loses but it's not gonna be instantly especially if you lose a lot of money already.

it's like a business where you are not profitable at the beginning but once you figure things out, you'll be profitable.

When there is an addiction, there is no chance anymore to win, a gamblers chance only is to minimize the loses if he can cure his addiction.

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 is a threat of course as you can see most of the gamblers are having a higher percentage of losing rather than winning and as what you have said being addicted is the big threat to all the gamblers. Even if we will start to gamble as a hobby or to have fun but if you are going to continue to, you will not notice that you are already addicted to it.

But for those who really have a control then it is not a threat for them especially if they are only using the small percentage of their extra money as their capital in gambling. For gamblers, make sure that you still have a control of yourself and don't be greedy.

[kawetsriyanto]

But for those who gamble occasionally or just use their extra funds to play will have more peace of mind and they will enjoy the gambling itself. And I think, I am included in the latter part. If I don't have extra, I prefer to spend it in more important things now that almost all of us are in bad situation.

Same here. I also played gambling only with my extra money. Extra money means not big amount of money. I know it will kill my family if I played with all my funds (money). Never forget about the most urgent needs although the gambling games are really interested to play more and more. Self-control should be the key to prevent from playing excessively, and don't follow the emotion.

Playing on betting sites is very dangerous for most players. Therefore, the best advice for those who are just thinking whether it is worth doing this is better not even to start. However, if you have already gotten involved in it, for starters it is important to choose a reliable sportsbook for your game. This, at least, will avoid additional losses.
