Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it

[Mate2237]

Gambling was not meant to harm anyone but was for fun but when you take it to the other side of the game where money is involved then you have to wear a thick skin so that when you loss it would not hurt you much. And you can't tell everyone to leave gambling because of what happened to you. Gambling is not a bad thing for everyone but how you go about it means a lot.

It was because of the way you involved your self in the gambling that almost ruin your life. If you play it in a moderate way, then things would have been fine for you. In my believed anyone who went bankruptcy because of gambling has not or didn't plan his life well.

But I see that lately more people are taking gambling to the other side or what I mean is gambling with a goal that is not suggested by facts and logic, it is very unlikely that some people will think that this is just an activity for fun, if indeed there are more People who assume like that then I think there are more other things or other alternatives that they can choose if the goal is just to have fun, after all, even though gambling can give you pleasure, on the other hand, this activity is still quite risky.

This means that most people come not to look for fun but rather to earn money, so the proof is that now there are more people who suffer from the negative impacts of gambling than those who feel the positive benefits. It all depends on them because only they themselves can choose all the options, but perhaps the problem is that not everyone can consider it carefully before making a decision, and also what is more striking about gambling is the tempting chance of winning. So I hope you are one of those people who can think realistically when looking at gambling, there is no certainty whatsoever there, especially regarding the results you want, and also in my opinion if you just want fun then just look for something else that is not risky.

[Ever-young]

Everyone stay away from gambling game then you all will be happy and happy Gambling game is very bad which will harm your family a lot and will also harm your life like my father gambling ruined my father's life and also my future is dark now I am now  I came back to this bitcoin to find light in my life in this darkness you all help me shine.

Really sorry to hear about your experience with gambling. We've all had our own share of gambling but there's still a reason we still gambling. Generally I'll disagree with your view about gambling, gambling is not bad, but being addicted is bad and if the addiction isn't tackled and is allowed to escalate then it'll surely destroy your life and cause you more pain than you can imagine.

You're likely to get addicted when you dedicate too much time to gambling, gambling is something that's supposed to be don periodically and not a daily routine. No doubt that it sure can really be addictive and that's why kids are not allowed to gamble, not just kids, even those who knows fully well they lack self-control.

[Huppercase]

And yet OP is very active on free bets in this forum. OP, you're a hypocrite. If your father's life got ruined then it's because of his lack of discipline. It's like you telling to stop companies from selling ice cream because your father became addicted to it and became obese. Basically, everything is bad when done excessively, even eating.

The OP is telling you to do what I say and not what I do. But on a serious page, OP is right actually. If you know the number of people some families has lost to gambling, you will pity them and have the same massive support on why gambling is bad for the society, though the problem is always from the players that are addicted. You can't use gambling as a way to feed your family, that's absurd and foolish. Gambling is meant to be gambling( win or lose at the fun of it).

Modern countries allow betting companies within regulations because it is another sort of fun and entertainment just like spending a ticket to watch a movie or paying to scare yourself riding in a rollercoaster. It's all a choice and people are lucky to live in modern countries where freedom exists.

Some countries allowed gambling business to trivia because they want to share the revenue from this companies knowing that there is no job anywhere. When people look for a job and has no alternatives, the only thing they think of is gambling and gambling but that is very bad because the government is losing young talented youths are productive in gambling and not in other sector of the country that will help them.

Yes that's right, it always depends on how they look at gambling and that's what will determine all the effects that they will experience, and of course like you said if their purpose of gambling is just to find some entertainment then I don't think they will experience things that are not wanted or mean the downturn that is usually experienced by gambling addicts who always overdo it. But as you said unfortunately most gamblers come with the wrong mindset, they bring the mindset that gambling can provide them with income and over time then obviously I am also very sure that they will end up with addiction without them realizing it.

Losing streaks make them very hurt and disappointed because the final result is always not what they want, basically casinos will also not easily give gamblers a win especially with large amounts, how can you expect something big but there is no contribution that you do other than just gambling? that is why gambling runs always depends on luck alone, because casinos are also not that stupid, there is no way the bookie establishes a casino just to give people a win for free, that means there is something else that is the goal of the casino which is profit, and that is the reason why you lose more than win.

So it depends on how they treat gambling so that they avoid all the problems that can come from gambling. Those who use gambling as entertainment will also not try to gamble more because they feel it is not necessary to do so. They will set a schedule for when they can gamble and when they should give up gambling. They just don't want to experience a lot of losses, especially if they want to avoid the gambling addiction that many gamblers have experienced, because they don't know what will happen if they become addicted to gambling. It will definitely be painful for them and of course, for their families too.

No one wants to experience a losing streak, whether they are pro gamblers or novice gamblers, and they really have to protect themselves from losing streaks by always limiting their gambling. Gamblers need to know that they can and may gamble but should not try to chase wins because that will only lead to huge losses. But if gamblers don't want to accept big losses, they should not gamble at all because it will put them at risk. And for those who still frequently gamble, it would be best for them to reduce their gambling activities from now on and not gamble too often.

Exactly, all the problems that exist and they feel are because of their own actions that cannot limit themselves from gambling. the difference is only about their principles and goals for gambling, many of them gamble for profit, multiply money, and pursue big wins, people like this usually tend to gamble more with a progressive where many defeats are obtained but it does not become an obstacle for them to stop gambling, with the confidence they have they will continue to gamble to reach the point of great victory. And for people who gamble just for fun, they tend to have no grudges or resentment when they lose, because they already know what gambling is like, and if they chase victory to cover the losses they have experienced it will only make them experience more loss of money.

Most of those who chase victory cannot accept the defeat they get so they have the thought of playing again in the hope that there is a victory that will turn things around and can cover the defeat they get, but that's just a dream in my opinion, they will be lucky when it's time. So in my opinion, don't gamble excessively, it's better to be reasonable after all, when it's time to win they will get the big win. not by gambling continuously which causes difficulties with their own finances.

That's why when playing gambling, we must always remember that gambling is only for fun and not to gain profit, multiply money, or anything else so that we can behave properly towards gambling. We will not use a lot of money to gamble. By playing gambling, we will know that we don't need to spend too long playing gambling to avoid losing a lot and also avoid the desire to recover from these losses. We must remember that gambling is entertainment, just like other types of entertainment that can provide pleasure, but this gambling uses money. Maybe they can play gambling longer if they use demo mode where they don't use real money, but it will definitely feel different if they use real money.

Chasing victory will never be easy to achieve, whether for experienced gamblers or novice gamblers, but what will happen is that they will experience more losses because they will not realize that they have actually exceeded their limits in gambling. That is the importance of self-control so that they can still stay within their limits and also will not lose more money in gambling. If they can stay within their limits, they may be able to enjoy gambling more as fun.

While I agree with your perspective of gambling as entertainment, how frequently does "fun gambling" match reality? Gambling's variable outcomes and financial stakes preclude regulated enjoyment. In pursuit of prospective gains, the human mind may not stick to "simply for fun". Is it a problem to promote gambling as harmless fun when it can lead to loss and addiction? Gambling's psychological effects (winning and losing) can be substantial even with self-imposed boundaries. Entertainment can soon become a deadly habit on this slippery path. Even in its most harmless versions, shouldnt we be aware of these risks when gambling?

Everyone stay away from gambling game then you all will be happy and happy Gambling game is very bad which will harm your family a lot and will also harm your life like my father gambling ruined my father's life and also my future is dark now I am now  I came back to this bitcoin to find light in my life in this darkness you all help me shine.

Whether or not gambling is good is totally individualistic and not a generic statement. Most people are very responsible in terms of gambling. Speaking factually, people have armed themselves with loads of rules and policies that will expose them or keep them away from extreme points in gambling, or leaving them vulnearable.

Most of the people who are used to sight examples as to why gambling is bad are those who gamble irresponsibly or set rules that they do not adhere to. The emotions and psychology around gambling are very intense and should not be invoked by one who is not well informed about it.

[OgNasty]

Gambling might be bad for irresponsible gamblers or people with addiction issues that aren’t wise with their money. For a lot of people though it’s a way to add entertainment to games they’re going to watch on tv or maybe add a little fun with their friends when watching an event. Like everything, a little fun in moderation is perfectly fine. 

[Renampun]

Gambling is not bad, you yourself are responsible for everything that happens in your gambling activities. btw, Bitcoin is actually one of the best solutions to the financial difficulties experienced by many people, but many people make the wrong use of Bitcoin, such as transacting criminal things and sometimes as gambling capital. I like gambling but I don't like using Bitcoin as gambling capital. I prefer Bitcoin to be used as a long-term investment because it is more profitable than using Bitcoin as gambling capital IMO, the DCA method is by far the best for investing in Bitcoin, it is important to remember that Bitcoin fees are high and if you use Bitcoin for gambling capital, you will be charged a deposit fee and withdrawal fee.

[Weawant]

Not many gambler's accepts the idea of fun and entertainment from gambling for such persons it's strict business and nothing less, and just like every normal businessman they put in their all into it to pull out profit but unfortunately for them they forget to realize that gambling is mainly an activity that has so much to do with luck and not by how many times a day you play or how much you put into wagering.  AFAIK, there's no business in being a gambler if you want to do business with gambling simply own a casino that's how you stay profitable with all the hedge behind you.

This idea of business where they can be able to pull out profit just like that is most common amongst gamblers then the main idea of entertainment and fun, even those who claims they gamble for fun, at some point are more interested in making the profit than having just fun.

Like you rightly Said, if you wan to stay profitable in the gambling industry then own a casino, anything outside this make the gambler luck dependent, because you can't out play the chances of loosing at some point provided you are consistent with your gambling habit, they only time you don't lose is when you don't play, as a player there's no assurance of staying profitable all the time regardless of your strategy.

OP's mindset is like a logical fallacy if you ask me, because he blame something while the actual mistake was done by his father.
He should blame his father who could not control his gambling habbit that ruined the whole family's life including him as his son.
Ironically, he suggested others to stay away from gambling but he is still participating in gambling related thing (giveaway) from casinos LOL.
Although maybe he is participating in giveaways only, but it is a proof that he cant keep his own words because he himself unable to stay away.

The longer you are making  yourself getting involved with gambling then those initial thoughts and plans would really be gradually changing until you would be coming into a point
that you will really be that playing not already for fun but already for the sake of profits and specially on the time that you would be experiencing losses then those intents and mindset
would really be definitely be able to changed up. This is why it would really be that important that if you are really that having plans on not to make yourself that get addicted
and you do find out that you are emotionally impulsive then it would be better that you should really be avoiding gambling while its still early.
Gambling isnt bad, bad things would only happen if you do make yourself those bad decisions because of wrong assumptions.

Fun gambling often does not correspond to reality, whereas, in reality, many gamblers lose when betting. That's because they can't control themselves while gambling and are influenced by greed and other desires. They cannot enjoy gambling as they should, so they are affected and instead continue gambling without stopping to rest. The psychological effects of gambling can indeed make many gamblers refuse to stop gambling because they still want to chase wins or recover their losses. That's what made everything change until they ended up losing a lot of money. Even though gambling is just for fun between activities and not to make money, it becomes dangerous for those who cannot control themselves when gambling. And that is also what makes many people say that gambling is not good and everyone should stay away from it. But if they can use gambling properly, gambling is not as dangerous as they imagine. It's just that we have forgotten how to treat gambling.

Yes, it is true that psychological impacts such as emotions always influence a gambler mind to become worse and become greedy, so as you said, many gamblers fail to know the right time to stop betting while their minds are dominated by greed which is caused by this psychological impact and all gamblers who have been around for a long time in gambling have experienced this situation.
Gambling games are good or not depending on how we perceive gambling and also how we manage our minds so as not to be influenced by bad things like that and if a gambler manages to manage his mind without being affected by bad things, gambling will definitely be a very interesting thing.

It is always because of someones decision making and on how they do treat up gambling in the first place. Most gamblers are really that delusional on which they do really believe
that they could really be able to make money or make themselves rich with gambling and this is something a mindset that would really make you push into your limits.
Gambling isnt bad if you are really just playing just for fun but on the time that those intents had changed up overtime then this is where bad things do happen.
You would be able to caught yourself on a bad situation when you dont have the money anymore or simply does have that huge problem with finances
and of course you know that but its already too late.

Yes, that's why people always misunderstand the purpose of gambling itself, even though gambling should be used as entertainment to have fun so don't consider it a bad thing, sometimes irresponsible gamblers and gambling addicts make it seem like gambling is worse in the eyes of novice gamblers. Another thing, the importance of gambling wisely is not to exceed limits.

The average person gambles very often beyond the limit so that they are very easily addicted to gambling which is why what they do has a bad impact on themselves, even though they can limit it to a moderate amount without having to use a lot of money to gamble. The correct way to gamble wisely is to think of it just as entertainment, you don't have to play it seriously.

Those that don't have a happy ending considers it bad and you can't blame them because that's what they think gambling did to them.

But not everyone is thinking of it as something bad for its purpose per se. Because the importance of gambling from the beginning never change to each and everyone of us.

If you treat it as for gambling and entertainment purposes, it's there. If you treat it differently and it's for the profit, it's also there.

Perhaps they know the right time to stop betting, but most gamblers find the temptation increasing so much that they cannot stop themselves from gambling. They are getting deeper into gambling, and some are dominated by greed because some win, and instead of stopping gambling, they continue playing and hope to win more money. That's why we always have to be careful when gambling and don't need to indulge our ego in continuing to gamble because we have to be responsible with ourselves and our money. We can gamble another day, and by stopping gambling today, we can control ourselves well, but we have to keep practising it so that we won't be tempted by anything in the casino.

First, Im sorry for the situation you are living in, and sorry that your parents and family is ruined because of gambling. But when you see Alcohol, gambling, medical drugs and many other stuff like this were created for a good purpose in humans lives. Personally, I can’t say that gambling is good nor bad because it’s a coin with two faces and everyone has the freedom and choice to take which side he wants to choose.
Let’s take for instance many gamblers here in Bitcointalk, that I know personally are gambling and never had issues or ruined their family. I, also gamble enjoy sometimes and feel bad sometimes but I take it as watching a football game, sometimes your favorite team wins sometimes lose but not to a point you spend all you family saving or even sell important things for gambling. It’s can ruin lives true! But only for those who doesn’t control or think well.
