Does good side of gambling overcomes its negative side?

[matchi2011]

If you remove the positive thing No. 5 all other 4 can be found in other ways of spending your leisure time.
I don't think that there is any positive thing that stems from gambling.
The only thing that you can feel while gambling are only the negative aspects of it.

I somehow agree. Whatever fun and happiness one can extract from gambling could also be oftentimes found elsewhere where risking money is not at all necessary. But I don't want to generalize that there is really nothing positive gambling can give. Sometimes the fun in gambling could be different from others because the adrenaline is there. The fact that it is not just plain fun at all. The risk sometimes counts.

You said it right there are always different perspectives from this activities, people find things that other are not. If you do can control everything
and the intentions will just stick for only to find entertainment and just to please some leisure then you'll be finding some positive side and not
to worry about those negativity..

I believe that everyone should find the answer to this question for himself.
In my case, there was a moment when I realized that gambling brings me a number of problems, as a result of which I stopped. Now I play from time to time, just for fun.
Sometimes a person needs an outside view to see his problem.

All things should really be realized by ones self for him to know on what truly is it.We do have our own will to judge up to things but we shouldnt not let ourselves to experience unfortunate situation before we do realize on what we should gonna do because we can eventually avoid it while its early, so reading up other experiences isnt a bad thing to be done.Generally we know that gambling can give headaches or problems if we do engage with it too much in terms of money and time.If you do already compromise things then thats already a problem.Its always been intended for entertainment purposes but due to constant or regular playing
then thats the time where addiction do happen.

Well, you can't realize something if it's not gone and it is a fact, people do always make mistakes in order for them to grow to learn from their mistakes. They say "you can't judge a book by its cover" until you read what's the contents of it.

This topic always depends on a person on how they will going to manage the after effects of gambling. Some people can handle it as a piece of cake but some may struggle for long before they can finally handle the situation. Not everyone has the same spirit of fighting their own selves.

This true, mistakes are inevitable and outcomes will depend on how they do deal with it and as said some can handle it and some decided to let that addiction control over them.
Struggle is always there and this is the hardest times when you are in the verge of possible worst scenario that would happen into your life.

If you are that sensible and would think up clearly then you would do things which are appropriate.Gambling isnt bad as long you dont let that thing control you.

You did well that you could stop in time. Most people can’t even understand the cause of the problems, not to mention eliminating them 
It seems that no one takes seriously the warning about addiction and other consequences (however, this also applies to other dangerous addictions such as alcohol or smoking). It would be nice to introduce such a rule: to get access to the casino you need to pass an exam (where there would be questions about the dangers of gaming addiction and ways to avoid this).

At the end of the day, everything boils down to moderation. Gambling could be considered good for as long as it does not go beyond moderation. If a gambler is already hooked onto it to the point of spending time and money more than what is moderate, that would already be bad regardless of whatever positive things gambling could give.

Explaining this topic further more will take a lot of things to be consider correct or accurate, in fact, there is no correct answer for this one since we do have our own opinion regarding about gambling. Let me give an example, there is a person A and person B, person A is an addict in gambling and person B is the opposite, so basically, for person A, the negative side of gambling doesn't matter because he is addicted to it and only sees gambling an opportunity to be rich, while person B is the exact opposite of what person's A mindset has.

The government and the gambling casinos always have precautionary advice to people who are gambling and no good side of gambling can overcome its negative sides, because the side is something we don't want to happen to ourselves to our family and to anyone we knows because can end up your life in big misery.

I agreed with your points, if you are addicted on gambling then it will ruin your whole life. so, take it just for a game, we played it just for fun and don't be addicted. If you take gambling just for a game and a way of entertainment then it has not that much negative side. Because we play a lot of game and bet in our daily life and it has no harmful effect.

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?

I think postive effects of gambling will overcome the negative effects of it. Even if you can survive your financial problem with your family using gambling, they won't feel it because you don't have enough time for them. It may also your source of income but it can be also a source of having debt. It will boost your decision making but you cannot decide to have time with you family. It can make you happy but the people that arounds you are not happy for you. Think before gamble or it will kill you.

Frankly speaking most of the time the good side of gambling cannot overcome it's negative side because there are many who got addicted in gambling and there are very few who always win in gambling compare to those who losses. Therefore those positive sides can't stand against the negative side of gambling.

That is if we are going to talk about the majority but with regards to individual, the outcome will be determine by us on how we are going to use those positive side in order to overcome all the negative side of gambling.

Therefore, when you only make gambling as entertainment, then at least that is a point for you to be able to overcome the negative side of gambling with the positive side of gambling by gambling just for fun. So, as long as the gambler has control and the other players only make gambling for fun, then that's when gambling is no longer something negative as feared, because gambling becomes positive and or negative it depends on how you treat gambling in your life.

There are no benefits on getting addicted not just on gambling but on other games especially if you can't control yourself.

Playing just for fun is easy to say but in reality, it is very hard to apply when you are in the table already. If you are winning consecutive times already, your mind will change and you will become more greedy since you felt that you are winning already. Taking gambling as a form of entertainment will not affect you that much but if you take gambling seriously especially if you are addicted into it then you will feel the negative sides of it. Just gamble for fun.

That's correct, gambler would be safe if they will always put a limit, limit every time they gamble, either they win or lose because you don't wanna lose control along the way just because of your greediness. That's the main reason why we do wrong decision in gambling because we want to win more when winning and will not stop when we are losing, most likely we will just ended up losing with this kind of attitude.

this advises should be given in Newbies and Noobs but for the long term players?they already knew about this but only denied to follow.

If you take gambling just for a game and a way of entertainment then it has not that much negative side.

absolutely and i totally agreed that gambling must be for fun and not for profiting that's for me is a No.

Because we play a lot of game and bet in our daily life and it has no harmful effect.

but what made me think is this,what is 'We Play and Bet A lot'?this will be Harmful if you do so don't contradict your own post.

Gambling is opposite of the word Moderation, in my opinion. Taking big risk in casinos doesn't sound like moderation.  This is why I prefer to call it Betting rather than Gambling as soon as I realize the difference.   Unprofitable and regular "high" bettor can be called a gambler. And a first time or short  bettor who bet with amount he/she can't afford to lose is gambler too.

Is gambling necessarily extreme? I don't think so. There must be a moderate kind of gambling or one which does not really cost you a lot. Gambling does not really mean you are addicted to it or you are wasting your wealth over it. Gambling could just be a little hobby, right? It's just that the prevailing impression or connotation of the word gambling or gambler is of a person whose life is wrecked by it. Or is it?

By the way, is there a significant difference between gambling and betting? I think they are both the same.

In my own aspects in life, before we join in gambling we also know the positive and negative impact on it. Staying people to play gambling will depends on the perspective who are playing it, because if they feel that playing gambling will give them happiness it would be difficult for them to get off in gambling. Some gamblers are based on their standing in life, because if they are rich so that they have a lot of money to used in playing gambling.

[ampere]

I think no matter how we try to quantify the advantages of gambling, i am not sure it can be more than the negative sides.
Because practically, 70% of gamblers lose dailies, which makes the bookmakers even more rich.

Until gambling provides proportional profiters to losers, it still has more disadvantages even without listing them.
