Does good side of gambling overcomes its negative side?

[Reatim]

5. It can be a source of income.

this cannot be one of positive traits in Gambling mate because none (or very limited people succeed being one) so for me?this is a Big NO to consider.

It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?

I dont think there is a need to get away from gambling so why not consider the positive side to make us stay?specially if we only treat as Enjoying and not for other purposes?Gambling is a best Boredom killer so why not stay in this sense?

I may say that all of those are correct however not all of them are correct in every person some of them adapt only a positive and sometimes they adapt the negative and sometimes combinations of two. What I'm saying is that in every single gambler there are different effects on them in regards with gambling and I think this list is a good way to read so everyone of us is aware of the positives and negatives that is happening in every gambler.

[Sadlife]

Only those people who gambles excessive money will destroy their lives but if you play on it as a form of entertainment moderated expense, it can be a pretty challenging and fun games to play that uses your brain especially playing with sports bets and casino games like black jack, poker and HILO.
As the saying goes only gamble money you can afford to loss.

Gambling affects us through positive and negative. I know there are so many gamblers that are really used in gambling on which they have already experience many things while gambling and for sure they have experienced good sides and bad sides of gambling.

I just want to list down all the positive and negative things of gambling:
Positive:
1. Gambling will let you think analytically and logically.
2. Boost your decision making.
3. It will let you interact with other people which is good for socializing.
4. Gives you happiness and entertainment
5. It can be a source of income.

Negative:
1. It will make you unproductive in other things.
2. It may destroy your life if you get so addicted on it.
3. It will lessen your time spending on your family.
4. You may lose your money.
5. Some says that it will lessen your reputation.

It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?

you forgot to add on the negative that gambling can make you impulsive, irrational, obsessive, selfish, unsympathetic and so on. so, no gambling's negative side can't overcome by its "positive" side(at least in most cases).
gambling is a very dangerous game and should always be played with caution. because without it you will likely be hooked by it and become addicted and may lose everything you have and love.

Positive:
1. Gambling will let you think analytically and logically.
3. It will let you interact with other people which is good for socializing.

This depends on people and where they are gambling.

Since we are using cryptocurrencies, I can assume that we usually gamble online either fiat or cryptos. Number 1 would not be included if a gambler is betting on dice games since that is a lucky-unlucky situation, you don't really need to think. Another thing is that most online gamblers don't usually talk at chats, usually, they are busy and just letting the bots do the betting.

Negative:
1. It will make you unproductive in other things.
3. It will lessen your time spending on your family.

Number 4 is inevitable and other else is obvious.

1 and 3 can be lessened. As I said, a lot of people here are betting online and most of them use Bots. In that way, they can lessen their time in front of their PCs or laptops and focus on what they need to be done. They are still productive and at the same time, they have time with their family.

It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?

Yes, I will.

I am gambling for a while now and I am not really addicted so I have no problem with it. The problem in my case is that I am spending most of my time, more like wasting my time since I don't have that much money to start with and I am just using faucet sats that I can get. Still, it is entertaining and a good thing to relax, I do auto-bet too but it will be lost so quickly.

Yes, all that you have said is right, but actually, I am talking generally so those positive and negative things are still applicable.

I just wanna ask something, how could you still gambling if you said that it is just wasting of your time when gambling? For me, if I am thinking that it is a waste of time for me then I would stop gambling, but I would not blame you because we are all different so we have different perception in life.

[verita1]

Gambling is entertainment and the luck of making money is purely random. If you like gambling do it with caution.
Because you can jeopardize your money, the well-being of your family and your environment. As a source of income, I don't see it because it could generate only a small part sometimes, not all the time.

[imstillthebest]

its equal the positive effect can turn into negative if you dont know how to play gambling in a right way except of course on the luck thing because we cant predict our luck and we cant produce luck every game no matter how you build a good strategy but to other factors you can always do them like for example when you play only in moderation so that you will not get addicted  . 

it does not depend of the person or gambler because i know that we can avoid this primary issue on gambling if we  really wanted  to .

[NavI_027]

I can still say a big YES! Why? Simply because I haven't experience very bad drawbacks from it. Yeah! I am not a hypocrite that I never encountered items 1, 3, 4 and 5 on your negative effects list (and I'll make sure that I will never come to number 2) or even more but at least I can still handle it. I mean, I deeply understand these consquences and willing to experience a little bit part of it for exchange of a chance of earning money . For me, that was still a considered a healthy gambling lifestyle since I'm not yet become so harmful and toxic person.

[Eugenar]

^ Definitely right but all of these were depends on you. You can manage your self from addiction and since from the start, you are already aware of those consequences that probably happen which is a negative or positive outcome for you. For number 3 of negative impact, it also probably results in losing your family and becomes your life miserable. Nevertheless, controlling your self and motions is the best key to avoid those negative impacts. It sounds good if all are a positive effect at your side.

Well said mate, its my personally opinion but it also may become applicable to others because I think that is the primary outcomes that we may have when gambling.

The number 3 in negative impact, which is losing your time spending on your family which can be result of losing them could be the most negative effect that gambling can give to us, if we let this control ourselves. So always be wise, limit yourself from gambling, you may do some steps to avoid being addicted on it, changing your lifestyle or finding some other things that will help you to limit from gambling is the best way that you can use to avoid gambling.

It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?

Is this "stay Away from Gambling"? or i am wrong?

anyway lets be truthful here guys,we Knew that it is our choice in which brings us to either Positive or negative in gambling.

it is about decision making like what you said in Positive part but this will also brings you to failure.

so it is still our mind and heart that will decide.

Is this "stay Away from Gambling"? or i am wrong?

Nope, I mean is, do positive things can overcome negative things.

Well said mate, you are the one who will decide what will be your future in gambling, for sure, if you get addicted on it, you may lose your control and it may destroy your life if you just let it to happen.

[lienfaye]

It depends on the gambler itself on how he treat gambling. Good side will overcome the negative when a gambler knows his limitation and aware of the consequences if he let himself become addicted.

If we are playing for entertainment we cant encounter a problem when it comes to money or chasing losses. But we know the effect of gambling if you are only after money and its your way to earn, it can give you a huge problem and can put you in a worse situation.

Hence your question has different answer depending on how a gambler can manage himself when he gamble.

"Bet but don't gamble".
Try to reduce taking big risk as much as possible. If you wish to earn consistent profits from sport betting for example, learn how it work, practice with free/demo betting to gain the required skill to succeed in that space. If learning sport betting doesn't work for you, then don't bet ... If you must bet, bet with little amounts or what you can afford to lose. Don't gamble with your time, money, health etc..

Precisely right. Don't spend your time if it's not working for you, the money that you spent can also be divert to other investment or other things to spare. If you see that you are not making any progress from doing your part then you should realize that this venue is not for you, work with other sources if you have money try to work with investment.

[Kasabus]

All of that are already present, and I think every gambler should be aware of the good side and the bad side.
Now, it's up to us on how to handle ourselves, gambling responsibly and you'll enjoy the good side, or be irresponsible and you'll regret the outcome.

[leea-1334]

The problem is that we cannot simply categorize people so simply as those who do not gamble excessively and those who do. The root problem of excessive gambling, just like excessive anything, is usually addiction. And addiction is unfairly encouraged by corporate powers through misleading advertising or manipulative practices.

[Rosilito]

The irony is that the good thing in gambling was the very main thing that keeping on playing gambling more which, IMO, were bad especially when you're doing it without moderation. I agree that good stuff which you mentioned would keep us in it, the thing is that there were still bigger stuff than gambling, and quite more important that we forget 'cause we tend to focus more on playing because of the good stuff you mentioned. Anyway, contrary to my first statement if we would be able to moderate the playing time, expenses, and health related stuff whenever we gamble, I could say you're doing good in it.

[Questat]

Yes, I truly agree with it.

Why? because if there's more bad side than the good side, then that kind of business will not anymore exist in the market.
I know there are countries which ban gambling but majority of the countries are still legalizing gambling, so they believe it's not harmful.

The bad side is only for people who does not know how to handle themselves, and they lack of discipline that is why they lose money.
We have to understand that gambling is fun but it's considered high risk, we need to manage the risk then.

[Polar91]

It made me realize, do positive things will let you stay from gambling?

First things first, gambling's effect wether if it's positive or negative depends on the gambler. Meaning, if a gambler is disciplined; then eventually the positivity is greater than the negativity. The opposite happens for an addictive gambler who doesn't have the control with regards to the amount he/she tends to gamble.

[bitcoinst]

Each case is unique. However, judging by the statistics, we can conclude that people are more likely to suffer from gambling addiction than vice versa.
Socialization is certainly good, but if it leads to the creation of useful things, things that are useful to the surrounding society.

[plvbob0070]

For me, it's another way around. If you couldn't control yourself anymore, the positive side of gambling will be worthless. What's the point of your analytical and logical skills if you can't use that to prevent yourself from getting addicted. If it can boost your decision making, why can't you decide for your good? At first, you can socialize with others, but not when you're already addicted. You will get mad for losing, and not every gambler are kind when it comes to money. Happiness and entertainment are just in the beginning, but after getting addicted, it will bring you stress and problem.

There are always pros and cons of gambling, but if you let your greed win, you won't be able to see the positive side of it.

[LogitechMouse]

I will share my opinion in each of the things you said and will create a conclusion

Positive:
1. Gambling will let you think analytically and logically.
2. Boost your decision making.
3. It will let you interact with other people which is good for socializing.
4. Gives you happiness and entertainment
5. It can be a source of income.

1. There are many ways to think logically not only gambling. Playing games is one and playing sports game is another. Not only gambling.
2. It can boosts your decision making indeed but like I said in the first, there are other ways to get this like playing.
3. Interacting with other people can be applied if you are playing games too both online and offline if you are playing with your friends.
4. I'd rather choose to play online games since it is my main source of happiness . Maybe not the same with others but still there are many ways to achieve it.
5. I disagree with this. Gambling isn't a source of income at all cost. The risk in gambling is very high and it can cause your money to lost in an instant.

If you will see, there is a pattern in what I said. In 4 of the 5 things he said, you can achieve all of then in different ways not only gambling so why you gamble for that reasons.

Negative:
1. It will make you unproductive in other things.
2. It may destroy your life if you get so addicted on it.
3. It will lessen your time spending on your family.
4. You may lose your money.
5. Some says that it will lessen your reputation.

I think I will just generalize this part. I agree with all of this since this are very common effects of gambling already and most of these are happening to most of the gamblers out there especially the 4th one which is losing their money.

In conclusion, good side doesn't overcome its bad side for many reasons.
