Does good side of gambling overcomes its negative side?

[Question123]

We know that they have a lot of disadvatanges of we say gambling and even not players they think all gambling have bad sides or bad effects to the person who play it.

But actually they have some good sides in gambling when we can earn money but the other side of this is when you lose money .

Maybe they have in the list does not accurate to others because as a player I have my own sides about that and sure the others have their own too. It is a friendly reminder everyone the positive sides of gambling can become bad sides once you did not controlling yourself by using your money.

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

Maybe and for some reason and if that would be just entertainment. But I don't know if we are able to maintain the limit coz it possible that from positive will turns into a negative effect. I can imagine how gamblers start with a positive mindset but later on, they become addicted (which we can't deny this). For this fact, we better not to hold any commitment coz it is really different when you are in a real situation and there is sometimes you can't even manage to control yourself.

If we do try to balance things up then it isnt really that worth to consider to gamble yet negative things or outcomes is much more heavier than on positive ones but it doesnt mean
that you would restrict yourself with gambling.You can engage with it as long you do have that self control where you can avoid unfortunate situations.
Gambling is for entertainment and theres no beyond with that. Source of income? only on rare or few people but most of the time we should not consider
or push this through.

[Vaculin]

You can engage with it as long you do have that self control where you can avoid unfortunate situations.

It's necessary because we are required to gamble responsibly if we want to be safe, not safe from losing because most gamblers loses but safe of losing beyond the amount that we can afford to lose.

Gambling is for entertainment and theres no beyond with that.

I'd disagree with that, this depends from person to person as there are gamblers who really make money out of it.

Source of income? only on rare or few people but most of the time we should not consider
or push this through.

True, therefore we should know our capability before we focus on considering gambling as a source of income.

[Janation]

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.

To be honest, I agree that is just doesn't make sense.

I am gambling though I know that it is a waste of time but I am still gambling. I think because that is one of the most natural entertainment I have inside our house? I can't really play online games since I just go to Internet Cafes( or PC bangs if you prefer it) to play those. TV won't cut it, I am having fun with playing with my family, having those time with them is awesome but I can't always do that since they are also busy right now despite the quarantine. So yeah, gambling sites si the place I run to when I am alone. I can just, you know what I mean, when I'm alone, not that kind of guy.

Chances of being engaged too much is really high even you think by yourself that you are capable of controlling your emotions.
Best to really assess and think about every potentials, if you think that you  can deal with this activities and you have the right
knowledge to succeed that's the time to work with it.

Earning money from gambling is probably one of the least good things to mention overall because it could encourage you to play longer until you get greedy and most of the time you'll find yourself losing money.

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.

Despite the high risk it's still possible since there's different types of gambling other than the popular casino games.

[fortunecrypto]

The positive impact will only reflect if you have total control on how you gamble, but if you do not have control on your time and money you spend all the negative sides will show up, there are good and bad in gambling and we need to aware of all the good and bad things on it, we need to watch ourselves at all times never get into the trap of chasing our losses.

[swogerino]

I think negative effects are far more common in gambling than positive ones.The only way to overcome negative effects of gambling is to fill your time with positive activities,playing with your family and children,spending more time with them,learn a new language etc.In other words fill your time with other activities and keep gambling for only a really small time.

[bhabygrim]

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?

Yes because we are having fun and it is their way to escape from reality or their problem.
I know that it isn't just gambling but also other bad habits.
There are some who still continue to do it because they are having fun and enjoyment.

[Arbman]

It is totally up to you. There is a lot of smart gambling communities out there where you can learn how to make a living (and much more than that) from gambling. Obviously, there is a learning curve. I would suggest starting here, I think they are the best ones in the field: https://arbusers.com/index.php
They have a huge community and lots of topics on that.

We only need to read some information online, even some stories shared on forums are clear enough about the boundary between the good and the negative of gambling, the good side is too little while the negativity is rampant, and another reflection is that the good side can turn into negative very quickly, as long as we gamble over time we will notice this. The good side of gambling cannot cover or compensate for its flaws, so to overcome the negative can only be to give up, don't think that we fill up time with different activities that can be overcome, it only makes us psychologically inhibited and ready for the explosion in gambling

[mu_enrico]

In the end, people gamble to gain satisfaction, and they can achieve that feeling via various activities. Almost all negative side of this satisfaction seeking activities are from an overdose, or too much doing that stuff. That said. If people keep a balanced life, I don't see any negative aspect of gambling.

[Captain Corporate]

 Honestly if you can limit yourself to a level that doesn't hurt you, I do not see what the fuss is about. Sure if you become an addict and destroy your whole life, get fired, get divorced, live a shitty life and all of that typical addicted person things, than yeah that is obviously bad. However not all gamblers are like that. My father in law has been gambling for over 50 years and he is still doing fine, he even gamblers a quite lot amount for me as well but he is still fine. Why? Because he knows when to gamble and how much to gamble and thats how he can continue, if he loses too much in a row he lets his finances recover first and continues to gamble afterwards, if he keeps winning back to back he just continues without a trouble like nothing happened and uses his winnings to wager further until he loses all.

1. Gambling will let you think analytically and logically.

Not quite sure about this one lol.

It really depends on your game of choice, there are no strategies when it comes to pure games of luck, therefore all the analysis and logic in the world does absolutely nothing to affect to win chance.

Anybody who says otherwise clearly dropped out of school.

The only game that I'm aware of that really does this is Poker, since you're playing against other humans, and the rake is the only amount you lose. The bluffing and statistics element makes it possible to win even when you've got a bad hand.

[Genemind]

^ 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.

I certainly agree with you. Things will still depend on how you deal with gambling appropriately. The most important thing that you have to do is to control your emotions and discipline yourself. Note to self that being greedy won't make you rich and gambling still has its risk regardless of your winning status.

I am just going to point out how your positive affects on gambling points actually has many wrong aspects.
1.Logically? Lol. Do you really think logic works based on luck? You might have all your logic, but if you are unlucky you are bound to lose the next round.
2.This boost will only affect you negatively. Your decision making skill will always ponder around benefits (since you will be thinking about profits only).
3.Casino isn't the best place to socialize. There are other ways that you can use to socialize with people.
4.True, but can cause the opposite.
5.And this is when people starts to go astray.

[dothebeats]

For a normal gambler who isn't addicted in any way, the positives outweigh the negatives surely. But for those who are into gambling solely for winning and not gaining anything apart from mone, the negatives will surely reign in the end.

1. Gambling will let you think analytically and logically.

This, to a certain extent is true. It's not only limited to gambling games which will make you think analytically and logically. Bankroll management also needs consideration and analytical thinking--whether you can still play a game or two or not.

2. Boost your decision making.

Again not necessarily confined to a gambling game. You can make good or bad decisions by just continuing playing without regard to your funds.

3. It will let you interact with other people which is good for socializing.

If a gambling site has its own trollbox, I guess.

4. Gives you happiness and entertainment

It does and I consider it as a form of entertainment and not see it as something that can entirely replace my paycheck.

5. It can be a source of income.

Right, no.

[btc78]

I just want to list down all the positive and negative things of gambling:
Positive:

5. It can be a source of income.

for Desperate person?yeah it can be source of income but only if you know that consequences .

but for the one who really knew gambling?this is not applicable as 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.

all of these will take effect if you are an addicted gamblers but if now?this is different thing than a normal gamblers.

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

at some points Yes,if we are aware of all things that gambling can bring and we are ready to accept consequences .

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.

For an activity, habit, hobby or anything to be declared negative to the human race, it's negative effects must have outshine the positive effect of that things since everything has a positive and negative side to it. When an activity like gambling which iis quite addictive and can't be put under control that easily is declared negative you just have to agree to that fact.

The positive effect aren't that much of a fixed effect but varies depending on the individuals gambling so it can't be said to be a benefit on a general reasoning. For the profit aspect as a positive effect of gambling, while not everyone profit from gambling per se but when it comes to losses, majority has experience this at some point as a gambler.
