Most of the world population involved in gambling

[bitbollo]

And this is the reason why many gambling companies or sites are become successful, because there's a lot gamblers out there. I'd consider gacha in online game is gambling,
....

that's not the only reason.
statistically and mathematically it is much easier to win money (indeed the correct term would be to earn) if you are a casino/bookmaker and not a bettor. it's just a mathematical question. easy and peasy.
the fact that there are so many users, makes some of these companies really rich and profitable.

GAMBLING STATISTICS 2023: HOW MANY PEOPLE GAMBLE?

Thanks for some actual statistics.

There is a huge difference between "people who gamble" and "people who have gambled". When the Super Bowl comes around, I have dozens of friends and colleagues who never usually gamble throwing a few bets on. When the football/soccer World Cup comes around, almost everyone I know has a sweepstake or similar being organized in their place of work or in their friend groups, usually with a buy in of somewhere around $5-20. All of this counts as gambling and puts all these people in the category of people who have gambled, although almost none of them are regular gamblers who bet daily or weekly.

It doesn't surprise me that the statistics show that the vast majority of people in the US have gambled at some point, while <1% are considered problem gamblers.

Anyone who have gambled in any way or the other can as well be classified into population of the world since they have anticipated in gambling activities and I think was already recorded across the globe. Does this usually mean gambling is for everyone just as @uneng did said on his post, partially we have been involved in gambling. And from my understanding gambling doesn't really focused on sports and gaming.
Gambling can as well take place between two persons or more in way of trying to prove some certain event or an occurrences whomever that got it right can be liken to be the winner in which gambling exercise have been carried out.

out of the world populations 60% to 80% of it dominance and occupancies love sports and you know what this mean, 30% out of the 70% love gaming.

That's true to an extent and we can believe on this base on the fact that if tiu are to approach 10 people now and ask them if they have interest for sports, about seven of them will show you positive response which equally means that we can have this same distribution across the world but we have to be more concerned that this only exist among the youths, children and adults canbbe excluded because they don't know what they actually want at a particular time they were either too young or too old for having interest in games or gambling.

[Adbitco]

Your statical could be right or wrong but what I understand mostly is our daily activities which is being filled with gambling, how?
Okay, let say gambling is a game of probability, and what is the probability of one winning a match
or a game is either 1 or 0. So as for that reason I said our daily activities are of gambling, whenever you woke up from sleep in the morning, you think of how your day would go on that very day and if you achieved all the plans it means you have won for that very day, and if you couldn't achieve any you noticed your day was bored because you failed on your prediction. So this was the reason why I said man himself gambles every single day.

[Silberman]

How true is this?
Sometimes I found it's arguably, most time not reason being that out of the world populations 60% to 80% of it dominance and occupancies love sports and you know what this mean, 30% out of the 70% love gaming.

Now let say something very striking

Sports creates ways for gambling
Gaming gives raise to gambling

This simply means there is no way the world can be divided into two or three equal parts without finding that people gambles regularly and almost everyone is involved one way or the other, from my research on gambling it has been existing right from Origin of man.

I think you are talking about two different concepts here, I believe that most people have gambled at least once during their lives, even on the cultures in which this is forbidden, however there is a huge difference between gambling once and gambling regularly, the number of regular gamblers will never be as high as this number as people may find other activities to be way more entertaining, but at the same time it cannot be denied that thanks to the pandemic the popularity of gambling rose to very high levels.

[Davidvictorson]

100% agree with the assertion. It is just the logical conclusion. Gambling sites display their adverts in sports stadium, on the jerseys of several football clubs, they have super starts as brand ambassadors. Their adverts come up before during (half-time) and after the sports game. They unconsciously programme the minds of sports lovers to see gambling as normal. So, it is only logical that there people would gamble including kids. Mind you, gambling is big business and the sports fans which are in every corner of the world are the market. And it is a market that is rapidly expanding.

It is true that in the world of gambling, those who can get wins and profits in such large numbers are casino business owners and the entire management team of the casino itself.
We, who are only gamblers, will only lose and lose the money we have. Maybe we can get occasional wins, but that victory is only the beginning of ruin for a gambler.
Many gamblers out there have the assumption that they can get rich from gambling but the fact is that their wealth is actually used up by gambling.
Gambling itself is an activity that is already worldwide or it can be said that every country always has a lot of gamblers and this has been around for a long time and has even become an activity that has been hereditary until now.
So that those who have a fairly large and well-established gambling business will get richer day by day because there are many gamblers spread across various countries.

It would have been nice for you to publish the references to your research, Gambling did not exist from the origin of man. Man started off as wanderers and gatherers, games which you say gave way to gambling have not always been in existence but must have started at some point early in history, but not at the beginning.

I agree that gambling activity has spread, and it is difficult to not see someone who gambles out of a group of persons. This is a result of massive ads runs by gambling houses and casino's, peer pressure and societal influence. There are a number of games that people can bet and gamble on, these games appeal to different individuals and since there is now a gambling/betting option for those games, you will have more gamblers.

How true is this?

Well, there are things that supports it like some gambling tools in the past.

This simply means there is no way the world can be divided into two or three equal parts without finding that people gambles regularly and almost everyone is involved one way or the other, from my research on gambling it has been existing right from Origin of man.

I think that kind of the norm, people love to take risks and risking something in return is kinda fun in its own way. I think it can be explained psychologically that man in nature is a gambling man but likely on the side of men.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Gambling is a multi-billion dollar industry, this does prove to us that a lot of people in the world are involved in gambling, gambling are of different kinds and forms, there are some type of games we can find in one country but wouldn't find the same game in another country, this goes to show us how peculiar gambling could be
.
Sports is an activity that have united the world, not gambling in itself, since gambling does not end in sports betting, infact, I believe that sports betting only began recently, there are several forms and types of gambling that have been in existence even before sports betting came into the picture, though today, it has become one of the most popular form of gambling.

We are in a gambling world. I people go as far as betting on other world events other than sports. People bet on the outcome of elections, the winner of awards, which actor will live or die in a movie and all sorts of things. Gambling is moving onto another scale and with the advent of the computer and internet, there is no sign that entrepreneurs wouldn't want a slice of this pie. Of course who wouldn't when it is like a faucet that generates tons of cash. More and more people are getting into gambling. My only concern is that we do not have as much agencies to tackle the outbreak of addiction problem that the world is about to witness.

This do shows about on typical or traditional gambling places that we do know, this does still exclude out on online casinos for sure specially on cryptocurrency as well.
Seeing those bar graphs and charts then this is significantly telling that gambling industry keeps on increasing year by year if we do speak in overall revenue or wager
which we know that this do means that lots people do engage with gambling.

Everyone Gambles, it's just that some don't consider it as gambling when they are taking a risk in order to achieve what they want, but it is already a form of gambling no one in this world could say that they never gamble in their life, because it is part of us, we risk something in order to get what we want.

[nurilham]

Not sure how many gambling companies to succeed, but the gambling industry will always survive for a long time because of this reason. As long as many people are involved in gambling, the gambling industry will keep developing. We realize that the demand for gambling games is increasing due to people's lifestyles. Gambling becomes a necessary part of people's daily life because it offers entertainment and the chance for earning money as well. Our life is getting more stressful and we always need more money, offers the opportunity to get those things. So, that's why the demand for gambling is always raising nowadays. However, not every gambling company will be successful, be careful to choose a proper place for gambling.

[rahmad2nd]

How true is this?

I believe that most of the world's population is very familiar with gambling, but that does not mean that half of the world's population is actively involved in gambling. how can that happen, because, in other parts of the world gambling is something that is illegal. Also, it doesn't mean someone who knows gambling that they are a gambler. however, if you change the title of this thread to "most likely half of the world's population has ever gambled even if it's only occasionally" those things would still make sense to me.

However, if what you wrote in the title of this thread were to come close to reality, I'm sure there would be plenty of research journals on the effects of gambling on the world's population. at the very least, we'll have corroborating data and statistical evidence for the title in this thread. but since it doesn't describe the truth, then I will say that this is just your personal assumption.

[serjent05]

How true is this?

By the word most, it does not mean all but the majority which I think and believe is true.  In our life each one of us may be involved in gambling in one way or another.  Many of those who said they don't gamble might not know or remember that in their history, they probably made a bet or something like that. So gambling even once made us involved in gambling and that is a fact.  So yeah I agree that most people are involved in gambling.

[Viscore]

There must be definite data so we can say most people, that can be done through a survey but if the survey is conducted only in certain countries then it still cannot describe that most people gamble because the culture of a region can affect whether people gamble or not. However, saying that sports make people gamble is not entirely true because many sports lovers stick to the love of watching and not betting. So everyone has to go through a study with an even sample in each country so that we can say most people gamble

It’s a fact that gambling has now become very known to all parts of the world, but I cannot agree that most of the world’s population have been gambling. The fact that some religions and certain traditions are against to it, then these people involved in such religion or tradition are definitely not allowed to gamble. And while most of us love sports and entertainment, it does not mean that we all gamble for that. Some are just being entertained with sports gambling, but not a lot of people involve themselves in gambling.

[dothebeats]

I don't doubt this.

Even in my workplace alone, I'm surprised that a lot of employees are now talking about this local slots game that some of them won hundreds of dollars from. Even those people whom you wouldn't really think that gambles is playing the game, and is winning a lot from it. It caught like wildfire, and almost everyone is playing this whenever they have extra money or extra time. Even on small localities and communities, this online slots game is exceptionally popular. Idk how they knew about it but people are enjoying playing it.

So yeah, I think it's possible that a huge number of the world's population is into gambling—or at least exposed to it.

This change had happened through the smartphone. In the past to spend on gambling it is a big process. Now its not like that, you just wanna have the smartphone and the gambling platforms provide you with cent percent privacy. You can gamble from any location. One thing good with your colleagues, everyone are playing when they've got some money extra as well as at their free time. Same as its easy reach, it had also got more negative effects as people come with big expectations and the losses can't be accepted.

it is no doubt that a lot of human population is into gambling one way or another as it has been like innate to humanity. the form of gambling evolves thru time and now, we are seeing them going digital, which is more accessible to all people from all walks of life.
i believe, most have encountered gambling at one point in their lives. some continue their involvement, whereas, some may have occasional interaction. but there will always be some who will hate gambling for so many reasons.
