Why People Still Gamble?

[Porfirii]

I don't understand why you can create this kind topic when you're actively posting in gambling board, here some of your topics in gambling board:

1. Best time to gamble
2. No bet is a waste
3. Why do people go into gambling?

It's fine if you think gambling is bad and you must avoid it because it might make you become an addict or you can't accept the risk to lose any money you have. But if you've reached full member rank, you shouldn't participate in gambling campaign

OP simply sums up what people in his society think about gambling. In fact, he said:

I know that people see these gamblers in different ways. Personally as for me gambling is not bad because they are sometimes we gamble for fun while there are sometimes we gamble to win money to buy things and eat or wear and all depends on the motive of the gambler at that time of the gambling process.

So I don't think he should avoid this board and, in fact, this kind of discussion in the forum is positive to me.

Back on topic, I think that what OP is not taking into account is the fact that in different countries there are different legislations and cultures are different too. In Spain, for instance, if you switch on your TV after 00:00 pm most (if not ALL) commercials you'll see will be from betting sites (bet365, Codere, Winamax, Spin&Go, William Hill...). I don't even play there, but I memorised their names because they are all day advertising them. So gambling here is seen as normal and most users aren't demonised the way the OP reports, although we should never forget there risks this activity implies if one does not behave in a restrained manner.

People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?

Actually, they are right, gamblers do resort to stealing if they are out of money to fill up their hunger for gambling, they look miserable and people around them including their families lose respect for such men.

Those who play draft games from morning till night are not at risk of anything but their time, they have the time to play draft game and it's fine, way better than risking everything you have on pure gambling, if your parent are warning you about gambling it's better to listen to them.

If you have some desire in gambling, you need to fight the addiction part first, there are things that you will get yourself into and you will keep doing it over and over and you won't even realize that you are doing it wrong, gambling is a good example of such things, you need to keep your consciousness alive.

Make sure you aren't overdoing it, and do not develop any type of dream with gambling, those who made the biggest money in gambling happens out of nowhere, they aren't even expecting the insane jackpot.

It's exactly the same with other bad habits which can and do bring people and their physical health to states of complete and utter ruin. Such as alcohol and smoking. People always tell you to avoid it, yet they still do it.

I guess it's about making a sacrifice to enjoy something that you like. Either way, nothing lasts forever, so why not indulge, as long as you don't overdo it?

a pretty good point in this case because regardless of anything even though it is said it is dangerous but the fact is it is very difficult and even the dependence on something like that is still very large.
In this case, as you said, because as long as it doesn't interfere and make our condition worse, why not because in the end it just returns to the control that is being carried out, as long as it doesn't make you messy, then why should we be detained entirely because in this case we also need entertainment for ourselves.
So long as we can still pay attention to which are our basic needs and which are side needs that are entertainment, why is that a problem because we really need relaxation for ourselves and I consider gambling as a form of relaxation for me when I finish work that makes me tired.

It wasn't really like gambling is a bad thing, It's perfectly fine to gamble you just need to be disciplined and know your limitation on it, know how much you can lose, and when to stop gambling. I didn't gamble anymore but sometimes I bet on NBA games that will win my friends and family just to have the thrill and fun, It wasn't a big amount so it's okay to lose and if I win then I guess I make money anyway.

Gambling in my opinion is for fans and entertainment so its perfectly fine to gamble occasionally since we just wanted sometimes to have fun and get enjoyment, Most parents have a terrible image of gambling just because there are a lot of gambling addicts that destroy their life on gambling but it wasn't actually bad since you just want to have fun right?

We all wanted to have fun sometimes, and probably at the same time win, whereas not actually someone that wants to gamble every day to change their life betting his entire life saving to win.

Is gambling evil? It's like to fire, right? Harnessed, it's a comforting flame. Unbridled, it's a devastating inferno. That's gambling too — a jolly diversion, yet a potential hazard if mismanaged. Our elders and society express disdain, stirred by the tales of gambling addicts we've all heard. Individuals who gamble away everything on one hopeful spin. No parent craves this for their offspring. But does every bettor tumble down this rabbit hole? No way

Consider responsible gambling, placing a small wager on an NBA match with buddies — isnt that a benign adrenaline rush? You know your boundaries, but do all gamblers?

Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?

If you think of gambling as a bad dream, crime and so on, it's normal that everyone might think so.
* Gambling is not good it's true because it can cost money.
* Gambling can be a disease of society it's true.
* All negative actions are in gambling.
Question:
However, why do so many people still like to gamble?
Of course, your question cannot be answered directly. I will only provide views and similarities only. About people who like to gamble, they already know it's bad.
See.
* Why do people like to drink alcohol, they know that it is harmful and intoxicating.
*Why do people still like to go to brothels, when the holy woman he marries is there.
* Why do people still like to rob and corrupt, even though they are already paid. and many other negative examples.

Some of the comparisons above, you will find the answer, if you think, about why people are happy or still like to gamble, in fact they know the risks and they have a lot of money, if not gambling.

when you are still a child, and given such an education, then you will not know the truth. yes, maybe there are more negatives and you will obey what your parents say.
but when you become an adult, you have your financial management. you don't need to depend on your parents anymore. and you are free to do whatever. you are free to be what you want. including spending your money in the casino or spending your money in the bar.
do it when you are responsible enough for what you do. if you still feel it is detrimental to you then avoid gambling and follow the words of your parents.

But it still really hard not to overdo it for some folks out there, gambling is part of fun alright but the negative effect when you overdo it is really damaging and I don't think I would advice anyone to indulge in gambling but if you feel you want to have with gambling like the way I do now then following a strategic plan for this will help keep you in check to know if actually you are going wild with your gambling habits.

In that you are right, always for anything if we exceed it will always be something bad, in fact it can bring many negative consequences because despair begins, pressure, stress and the desire to recover what was lost, if a player enters with those feelings in the game, well it's lost, there's nothing to do, mistakes can be made all the time and that's not the idea, that's why we as players must have enough calm for the moment to play, I don't think it can be done for the rest something better , self-control is the concept that manifests itself again, it is something difficult but very necessary.

Yes, you are right that every child who grows older is increasingly responsible for spending a budget to finance his life including gambling, that's why parents always give messages to their children to grow up and determine their own lives like playing gambling. Obviously no parents want their children be a gambler unless the decision comes from himself, as long as it's gambling with money he can afford to lose is fine.

I always hide that I am a gambler to my parents and I am sure of course there are many gamblers who don't want their parents to know that he is a gambler, because usually a gambler will look bad in the eyes of his parents unless he has parents who like to gamble too.

Don't be suprise that parents that shout on their children and also beat them are gambler's also, they are just trying to stop their children from gambling because they know that children might not be able to control themselves and they know the risk associated with being addicted to gambling, some children might end up stealing from their parents just because they want to gamble, I believe things like that are why parents don't want their children to gamble.

If I get married and am having children, am also going to discourage them from gambling because I know they might endup getting addicted to gambling, am a gambler but am sure my children won't be able to control themselves the way I can control myself.

If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling".

Parents can only beat or shout on their children but they can't stop them from gambling, if people gamble responsibly them am sure society won't see gamblers as bad people, but it's just because people end up being addicted to gambling and some addicted gamblers do lot's of illegal things that's why the society always kick against gambling. But people do gamble  now and you won't know they are gambler, they do it with the help of their mobile phone and internet connection.

Gambling is getting easier day by day due to which youngsters are more and more attracted to it.  Because earlier you had to go to a physical gambling hall to gamble but in today's technology era anyone can gamble at home with just a smart phone.  And that is why gambling has now become a common thing that more or less most people play. And that is why people still gamble and get deeply involved in it

nice advice and am pretty sure he is on this particular trend one or the other because in this particular world we are living there is always something that eats up the money of man in which he derives joy from and for different people it also varies. For most people its gamble while others might drugs, alcohol, womanising and so many other unnecessary things but its still done anyway just because of the joy derived from it.

People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?

The casino remains open every day, which means gambling can be indulged in on a daily basis. It has become a hobby of sorts, where once someone discovers something they consider a hobby, they are willing to sacrifice anything to pursue it.

It's possible for someone to have a gambling hobby, and they would be fully committed to it, even taking it seriously while their opponents may be joking around. In such circumstances, it becomes exceedingly difficult for an individual to break free from the gambling realm, unless they experience boredom or complete asset depletion.

Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?

The excitement or the desire to make money or some other reason in the social community is the reason why they continue to gamble. Even gambling has become more accessible to all ages because of the ease of digitization, I mean you can even gamble while sleeping or while peeing in the bathroom without anyone knowing.

There's no mystery, but they've become addicts. Not only gambling, certain games also make you addicted. So not all addicts are for money but they are attracted by fun games.

With having the technology we do have nowadays then it would really be just that so easy to gamble with having that few clicks with our fingertips and with some few swipes. This is why people would really be

having that so easy access to gambling on which no matter on how you do avoid it, theres still lots of chances for you to play once again since you do have your phone with you and if not then you could simply play out on a personal computer on which it would really be easy as pie. If you do need to isolate yourself with these access then its up to you but its really that hard on the time that you do see that gambling addiction within you is really into that high level on which resistance would really be that futile.

Some people are addicted on gambling but there are ones who are really that still into their minds and make out some viable decisions despite on dealing with gambling. As long you do have the control
then you should be fine and as long you do have that moderation in about your spending then it is really just that fine too.

Around the world, sports is one of the most love activities, if it's not actually the most loved, and like we all must agree, what makes sports much more interesting is when you can bet on your favorite team to win the match against their opponent, you discover that you are highly interested in watching every bit of that match to the very end.
Like me for example, I hardly sit down to watch a match I did not bet on, but when Ive put some money at stake on the match, the match automatically becomes really interesting for me to watch.

So I guess it's right to say that those who get addicted to gambling often times, first and foremost get addicted to the game first, and this includes slot games, live games and all, this is not limited to sports alone.

It's fine if you think gambling is bad and you must avoid it because it might make you become an addict or you can't accept the risk to lose any money you have. But if you've reached full member rank, you shouldn't participate in gambling campaigns

The ops full member rank is around the corner and I am sure that if he has the chance to join any gambling signature campaign I am sure he will jump on it, he has written quite a few topics that should have at least cleared his doubt if truly he read anything that os wrote here at all because just as the question suggests to know why people gamble it then means is have interest in this discussion and may be looking for more comment to establish his conviction about gambling.

Agree with that, it was like a fire, if you didn't handle it carefully it could easily ignite and destroy everything, But still, even though it is a potential hazard we still use fire on a lot of things, like cooking, etc. but for the most part we do cook every day it wasn't like playing with fire right? I mean as long as you know how to control it, it wasn't really going to spread and destroy your home, so I don't think putting small wager occasionally would easily start your adrenaline rush to gambling then your going to start to get addicted by just doing that, I mean gambling occasionally but I didn't become a gambling addict because I just know my limitations and boundaries.

Yeah, I guess all gamblers know their boundaries but the problem is they just ignore it even though they know it and let gambling take over and let themselves get eaten by greed and winning.

    -   The number 2 is probably already included here most people get rich quickly by winning a large amount of jackpot. Many hope and participate that this is the answer to the difficulties they are facing.

Even though they know it's impossible to happen but they still do it because they hold on to luck or maybe they'll get lucky as if it's no different from betting on the lottery which with a small amount of capital will turn into millions.

Actually, they do it because it is not impossible. If it was impossible they would not bother to gamble to fix their economical issues and problems.
It is about the tiny possibility, that is what continues to draw people to gamble, the fact it is not impossible for them to suddenly have enough money so they would not need to worry about their economical choices for a long time.

Though, if there is something lottery winners have taught us, is that the new rich is more likely to waste money and devolve back into the previous situation, before hitting a jackpot or drawing the lucky number.
