Importance of Gambling to the society

[Yaunfitda]

What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

I think we can give example to Macau, one of the biggest gambling destination if not the biggest and it's located in Southeast Asia. So if we look at the numbers, their gambling industry contributed 50% of Macau's GDP, and accounted for more than one-third of employment.

So somewhat it become a tourist spot, jobs are created thru their gambling industry, and obviously, they are making a lot of money to the tune of billions of dollars annually. And with that, we can say that gambling per se has benefited their society. As I have said, there are jobs, economy are booming and then becoming the only source for economic funds.

Do you know that gambling does not teach any good thing to young growing adults from my way of understanding gambling, gambling normally deceive them and they always be conscious of gambling because they are expecting to win very large amounts of money in gambling, so I believe that gambling have it way of doing things, so what I understand in gambling is that it needs careful because with what you are expecting in gambling it will make you to lose more in gambling and it triggers the youths to steal when they don't have money to play gambling

Now almost all people are addicted to gambling. But I don't see gambling as a bad thing because I like gambling a little more because I like gambling more in my free time. There are some people who have chosen gambling as a profession who have done this wrong thing.  I think gambling is bad for me. People who can't control their greed while gambling lose all their money and end up in trouble. I gamble for pleasure not to make money. I thought I would abstain from gambling for a few days.

I think this is a very big exaggeration, I know very few people who at least sometimes devote a little time to gambling, so to say that all people turn to gambling is nonsense. My friend at one time bet on sports and did it successfully, but since he has his own business, he did it not for the sake of money, and since his business brings him much more money than betting, he really plays very rarely, for him it's really like fun, maybe once every few months.

Responsible people can do it as long as they keep a good balance and stick to a set limit. One must always be careful, though. The world of gaming can be deceiving and draw people into its doom gate. Even though it may be fun for you, keep in mind that for many people it has led to bad things. It's a good thing that you want to take a break. Always put your health before your whims, and drink plenty of water between games to keep your mind sharp and on task. But isn't water the strangest thing? It's clear, but it's also so strange.

In general, gambling is not important for society because basically it will have a negative impact and harm yourself and other people around you, but on the contrary, if a country legalizes gambling, it will actually benefit that country, because of the possible taxes that bookies have to pay to the government.
However, it is different if the gambler is said to be a professional gambler, it is very likely that he always gets lucky or wins and loses a little.

Dont forget that once gambling is legalized in a country, there will be many casinos which means that there will be many new job vacancies to apply. Dont you think it is a benefif for the society?
For me gambling legalization will not only give benefits to the government, but also to the people around to be worker in the casinos.
Some people can even open small business close to the casinos , lets say money changer so foreigner can change their money in the money changer before entering the local casinos.

Gambling is an activity that has been carried out for a long time and is difficult to eliminate even in countries that prohibit gambling activities. In addition, if a country prohibits gambling activities, it does not mean that casinos really do not exist. In fact, currently online gambling sites are everywhere and countries that prohibit gambling have many active gamblers on online gambling sites.

So, maybe now it will be a loss if a country prohibits gambling but many gambling sites carry out gambling activities. Maybe if gambling is legalized with certain regulations then this will have a good impact on the country, because the state can collect taxes from casinos. As we know, taxes and casino permits are high, so they will increase state revenue

Regardless of the pros and cons of casinos, I agree with you that casinos will provide more opportunities for society, especially job vacancies and other impacts on society.

What many people discuss about casino gambling is very nice but what I want us to know is what ever points someone make here concerning posting in gambling about gambling addiction is very good, because series of this discussion will surely bring some limitations in gambling addiction, because I know very well that gambling addiction is something we commit ourselves to, because we want to make faster money from gambling and that have being people tough time and also making them to lose whatever they have, some people doesn't have money again and even owning because being addicted in gambling,  so with the series of cancellation in gambling is addiction some people will withdraw some of their actions.

You are right. Discussing gambling addiction is very important on the forum because we all know that too much of everything is bad, so discussing gambling addiction will make many gamblers aware of how it affects them when they become addicted to gambling because most of these gamblers are just gambling without the proper knowledge of how it will affect them if they do it too much. However, some of them don’t know what makes them addicted to gambling and if there is too much gambling, so you can see that if they come here and see different types of threads discussing gambling addiction, they will know what to do to get themselves out of what they are passing through.

I don't quite understand how gambling can hurt the people around me? I play in casinos with my own free money and I don't touch anyone. Gambling helps me to get emotions that I cannot get in other ways. In my opinion gambling is important for society, because if people did not have a need for it they would have long ago eradicated themselves like 3D or other obsolete technologies. If some entertainment is in demand then it is important for society.

[Vaculin]

Gambling is important to the society because it provides huge taxes that government use on hospitals, infrastructure and other projects to help its citizens. Monacco country is popular with their casino but they don't allow its citizen to play. This shows how important gambling in their country because they still allowed to operate it even though they don't want citizens to be involved.

The same with South Korea, they have several established casinos as well but it is only open for the foreigners who visits their country and if I'm correct, rectify me if in case, I think that Macau also prohibits its own citizen to gamble. Anyway, that is one of the reasons why countries doesn't ban casinos and gambling because the taxes that are generated in this industry are just too huge to neglect and it can truly help ones nation to build more infrastructures and other needs to help its citizen live comfortably, along with the security. But the downside of these casinos are also too great to neglect because apart from helping the nation, the effect of it is that people's lives can be destroyed.

I think almost everyone says they are addicted to gambling and it can't be proven and it feels a bit exaggerated. I'm sure that only a small percentage of people are addicted to gambling and if we ask people who are really addicted to gambling, those people will answer that I only play according to my wishes and never force myself.
I am also sure that many of us who are involved in discussions on gambling boards are just talking about gambling and basically we are not active gamblers.

Exactly I agree with you, if we understand not to overdo gambling I don't think there is any problem. which often happens to be a problem just because people who want more results from gambling but vice versa. and the other side makes mental health damaged to become a criminal, if gambling players lose control this becomes bad for themselves which results in fatal

When you said almost everyone is addicted in gambling i will disagree with you the way I'm seeing it, because I know that gambling some other people who works do not take gambling as a source of income and since they are not taking gambling as source of income they will not be addicted in gambling, if you can give me a clear reference of statistics of people who participate in gambling and your proof is showing that gambling the statistics shown that gambling total numbers of people participating gambling are addicted participants I will believe you. When you are jobless you can be addicted in gambling, so many people are working and so many too are not working, i disagree with you that almost everyone who plays gamble is gambling addictive

I am glad someone is as open as you.
That's right, it also means more jobs, especially for those who are near the gambling sites that will open. Before, I said that taxation, it's a lot of money and I was actually shocked at how much money the government will make on a daily basis.
Near my place is a cock fighting pit and a neighbor who is a patron of the said place told me how much it makes daily and how much tax the government will receive on a daily basis too especially if there's an event where more roosters will be sacrificed.
That's when I realized why they built the cockpit first before schools and other necessities. It's a funding for those new projects since our city is not that recognized yet.
Well, before I was mad about it, now I am glad that our local government is finding ways to make the city better.

That is if we can understand that playing gambling does not need to be excessive and we must have self-control while we are gambling. Unfortunately, that is not what is happening out there because many people have been trapped in gambling without being able to get out unless something happens to them. If they can be careful in gambling, they will get pleasure from gambling and can avoid gambling addiction resulting from excessive gambling.

And we may also have seen what happens to people who have lost control while gambling. They lose a lot of money and cannot recover their losses, and they become angry easily and cannot control themselves when their anger comes. And maybe many other things come to them due to losing self-control.

Those who have taken gambling as a source of income are mostly those that suffer in gambling because of that life style of continuous playing and losing. They get money from other source and gamble with it and they have hope that they will win the house. Someone who doesn't have control of limiting himself from regular player to playing occasionally has given himself to addiction. Addiction in gambling is because of trying to win all the time which is greed and a greedy person will always find it difficult to win bet because he will keep making mistake of going for the wrong games because of winning potential and leaving out potential winning games because of odd.

I think casino are mostly dominated by Asian and other parts of American, maybe because they have this physical casino everywhere and they don't have to deal with insecurities and the revenue generated increase the GDP of those countries but here in Africa, people don't play casino games too much, reason is that they don't know how to play this games and you don't want to bet with something you don't understand. Instead, they prefer sport betting, an average gambler can spend half of his day in any of this physical betting shop just to keep himself from been idle.

Gambling has help the society especially the areas where there have been low employment, they use it as a source of income, try some luck and get the money to take care of the needs and put food on the table. One thing with this group of people that practice gambling for taking care of needs is that once they have started, it's a point of no return. To believe that they love gambling as source of wealth, there are some of them that have used gambling to build houses.

However, the government has made it mandatory for license gambling companies to show prove of their revenues in % of what they have earn and loss. You will be surprised that these betting companies triple their revenue in every quarter, this shows that overall gamblers losses money, only few of them end the quarter with profits, the rest are just doing try and error with nothing to show.

Americans was mostly like the casino and gambling from their childhood.Since this country people had huge money in their hand,they will start to gamble from their childhood.The important one in gambling is the interest to the gambling,when we come to the Asian people.They gamble using all the animal available for gambling.Some of them are cock fighting,bull,horse race,they use all this animal for thgambling.The most favourite one is the cock fighting,this was important and widely spread among the Asian countries like Phillipines,Indonesia,India,China and Burma had this game.The people of this countries are ready to spend huge money for this fight.

Thank you very much because its obvious that people who take gambling as their source of income are the people that lose most, what I believe and what I understand concerning gambling is that gamble is something that have to do with luck and when you are not lucky enough in the gambling you will not win, so taking gambling as a source of income will make you to be addicted and make you to be losing more or often in the gambling, so many people what they think in gambling is that the more you play gambles they more you win, and it's not like that in gambling because gambling is all about luck

Seeing around people who are addicted to gambling should form the basis of our experience so that we are not the same as people who are addicted to gambling, so that we have strong control. the environment becomes a view for me so that I can choose important lessons, just like gambling addicts lose everything. makes me not expect too much gambling

[blockman]

That is true about our country, gambling that's supported by the government has a purpose and that's being a charity and helping a lot of people. That is why there's still good out of it but the logic that will be seen by others is that it's still gambling money and people lost money.
Well, that's how it goes and there's still something good from the money that has come from their losses. If they don't want to lose, they shouldn't be in a casino that they know is going to make them lose money. It is gambling business and there will be consequences for a gambler to make, as usual, the results are known and it's like an agreement to yourself before you even gamble.
