I don’t see a lot of benefits of gambling. For me, it’s only entertainment when you have nothing to do at all. I was quite active in gambling in the recent lockdown while these days, I barely play any games; only a few sportsbet.
On the other hand, cons; you are wasting your time which you could use properly to do something productive, you would not lose money & less stress.

It's a joke I guess. I don't think many people posting here play gambling in reality. But to answer your question I would quote an advantage : gambling helps you to understand what chances/risks and probabilities represent in real life and it helps you to evaluate them in a more accurate way.

Not all people visit the gambling board are gamblers. They can be gamblers or just visitors to this board and in reality don't make any bet.

Gambling does have some advantages but also it has its disadvantages. It will be better if the pros and cons of gambling be discussed extensively so people especially the newcomers know what they can expect from gambling.

It's always has pros and cons in any type. Gambling can bring fun, refresh your mind and opportunity to get rich after one bet. It has cons when people can not gamble responsibly, lose control of emotion and bets, then lose all capital. Worse, some people might do superb stupid things like rob money, suicide, whatever very negatively which I can not think of it thoroughly.

If you want to gamble or play games, do it responsibly.

I'm not sure that's exactly what you mean, but in my opinion, the biggest risk and cons of gambling is addiction and its consequences.
Unfortunately, now more and more younger people like to gamble and this is the easiest way for them to get addicted. The pandemic causes us to limit our leaving home and gambling is developing at an alarming pace, which could have very bad consequences in the future.

Obviously noormcs5 wasn't talking to passive readers, he was talking to the posters of the section and everyone, maybe except you, knows that most of posters here are posting to fill their requirements for their campaign signatures. That's why the level is so low when you compare it with other gambling forums and why so few merits are given here.

Another pro, it helps you to fortify your mind because it teaches you that after bad losing streaks you will encounter better ones.

I couldn't agree more with this statement. Once someone can gamble responsibly, there should be no disadvantages of gambling. Be responsible in all aspect including money and time, it will not give us any negative effect.

my personal experience the conclusion is losing and winning is a normal thing in gambling that we can take from the positive side is "satisfaction" like art actually ! money will flow to the right people who can manage their minds so they are not addicted ! my pros and cons are neutral 1:1 gambling is not for under 18 ,gambling is full of risk but a gambler must be able to control himself ,so that gambling is prioritized for 18+ actually it's just a term but the correct one is for people who have mature minds not for people who are still unstable

[sovie]

At one point in my life, I lost a large sum of money several times. It has taught me to manage my own money responsibly.
I still spend too much money, often even on stupid things, but I think gambling makes me a lot more careful than if I hadn't experienced it.

And most of the time, cons about gambling are the most visible impact to the players or gamblers. So you can only enjoy gambling if you are using your own money, which you can very well afford to lose, and not using your funds for basic needs. There are pros, yes. But it depends on how you treat gambling. If it is just for leisure purposes, you can enjoy your games but if you are after for the income, which is not an assurance that you will go home with your winnings, this will be your headache.

back to the discussion that has been done over and over again. the initial goal of people playing gambling is of course to increase their money but over time there are those who are lucky, lose, get addicted, feel entertainment when playing gambling.

We can't encourage people to think hard about what the real purpose of their gambling is when they are still beginners, just let time pass and they will surely find the answers themselves.

Gambling should be entertainment, and as long as it's like that it's good! It's a fun activity that costs some money if we lose, but if we are lucky we will win something, and that's all! If it's more serious than that you are risking too much and all the pros are in vain, you will see the real cons of gambling and all the problems that can come from that!

So don't think too much about the pros and cons of gambling, try to enjoy games you like with money you can afford to lose, and hopefully, you will not wander to the dark side!

most disadvantages in gambling are rooted from excessive playing or addiction of the gambler. but if you are just a regular gambler who is using extra funds to gamble, you can definitely experience the pros - like enjoyment or fun, social connection and of course, earning extra money without expecting it.
we don't need to discuss this extensively, because it has been discussed over and over here and if you are a gambler, you already know the pros & cons to you. just don't make excuses of your gambling habits by giving those pros because you know very well what will it bring to you at the end of the day.

Too many to mention and the pros of it are that many would agree to say about the entertainment factor that it brings to everyone. But for the gamblers who used to get a living through gambling, it's more than that. The cons, I think we're all aware of what negativity it can bring to someone who at least can't control himself when he gambles.

After you give some thought about it, you will realize that gambling is a very exciting and fun activity. Some people even say that gambling is a good way to forget their problems and entertain themselves and can be a good stress reliever. While other people believe that gambling is an irresponsible activity and can turn into a serious addiction.

In my experience, I see it as a fun activity and it is not that serious as people think it is. You can spend some money and play the slot machine or some other games, but you are not gambling with the whole fortune of your life. The first thing you should know is that gambling is not suitable for those who are concerned about their financial security and they should not play more than they can afford to lose.

I was happy to know that there are people who shared their experience, be it good or bad experience!!
I would never have imagined that gambling could be an addiction or something. I only found out about this when I went deeper and started visiting more websites and watching videos related to it.

Well, I've never been an addicted person, I've always played gambling just to pass my time and have fun, I confess that I've already won money, but I also lost, it wasn't a significant amount of money, it was just for fun!

The advantages are profitable
The downside is that you will lose money.

The pros and cons have been around for a long time in terms of gambling, but I never thought about it because I know how to gamble. What you have to do is make entertainment only with modest money, don't take money from savings because it's a risk when you bet.

The various incomes from gambling are many, some are consistent with their income, just pleasure or want to play because of the fun because this is always different from every opinion.

Gambling suppose to be a source of entertainment but many think that this could give them a big shot and became rich knowing that some gambling site offer a huge amount of prize that's why other think that they can earn fortune here. So it's not surprising actually that many expect that one day they will win and became rich from this that's why many got broke frlor expecting to much.

But if majority think only that gambling is for fun only for sure we can always see the advantage and not the disadvantage one.

With that experience of yours, we can say that it's one of the pros of gambling upon experiencing a shortfall from it. You become more responsible and you're taking care more of yourself and money when you've lost a lot from it. But, on the other side, there are more people that can't stand after losing a lot of money because they don't know what to do and where to start again. It's normal for us to spend on things especially the things that we like but for the second time around, it had taught us to become more responsible.

Pros?

1. Could be a big winner/life changing situation
2. Leisure times
3. Socialism

Cons?

1. Messing your finances
2. Messing your emotion
3. Totally wreck up your whole life

If you dont have that good control towards gambling activity and spending then you would
really be having a messed up life.
