Gambling and it effects

[irhact]

Today I want to take a deep dive into gambling and how negatively it has impacted our society;

Growing up into a man I got used to gambling believing it will change my current financial status, which I was wrong, it was quite the opposite, not that am not seeing money, I was but I was too fix in making it through it.

Gambling isn't all bad as it has its positive and negative impact like every other thing on earth. Gambling becomes a problem when we use it as a source of income and not as a source of entertainment. Gambling is meant to be something we do for fun but the lacking of job opportunities in the world has made many individual without jobs to use gambling as a way to look for money and that's why it seems like the negative impact of gambling is outweighing other things.

Underage gambling is increasing because of gambling addition and people are losing their money and getting debts because of not been able to control their gambling addition. Gambling was just meant to be how we have fun and  participate in some friendly competition.

The whole talk about gambling being a source of entertainment is rather absurd to me because I believe anyone that actually gamble actually strive for two things which are
1. The feeling that you have actually won something
2. They do gamble because they think it can give them little earnings.

Those of us that let the habit become an addiction is actually also common Because you cant expect to be having the mindset of getting cash from gambling then what you always get is just hopes and then finally stories of people winning will just continue playing in your head and that's when the whole issue starts from.

Growing up into a man I got used to gambling believing it will change my current financial status, which I was wrong, it was quite the opposite, not that am not seeing money, I was but I was too fix in making it through it.

I think this was your biggest mistake and I am wondering how did it come so far for you? Maybe you could share a bit more about your experiences and why you thought that gambling would make you rich. I also have been gambling for many years now, but I am not relying on gambling to change my financial status. For me and all my friends I know that have gambled in the past, it's a form of entertainment and not a form of making money. The casino itself is a company that needs to turn a profit, it's not like they can make all their customers rich. There will be some people who get lucky and get rich through gambling, but this is only a small part of the gambler community. The majority of gamblers will only make small profits or small losses. Like with most distributions, the tails will be very flat and expecting to be one of the lucky few is not a good idea. So, be happy about your wins just don't rely on them. Don't use any money for gambling that you can't afford to lose. Lottery is even a more extreme example, just because someone plays it every week shouldn't make him expect to become a millionaire soon.

One one thing I have noticed about gambling is that before you win a thousand box, they might have milk you of more than that.
[I just want to use this medium to appeal to the younger generation, please stay off gambling, if you must do so, gamble responsible, don't take it as your only source of living so it wouldn't milk you dry.

Therefore, the mindset that must be emphasized is that gambling is just a game and nothing more than that. From the beginning, gambling was not very important and was considered an entertainment option to drop $10 a week or only once every 2 weeks. That's with the intention of spending it, not to double like people who try to hope for more than what they bet. So in this case it comes back to the placement of gambling for you or anyone, whether you take it seriously as a source of income or just a game to spend money.

The risks associated with gambling are substantial. I myself abstain from gambling because I detest it,possibly because of the way it was created. you incur greater losses than gains. I have a guy who is so dependent on gambling that he is unable to stop. I can recall that i assisted him in paying his school fees at the time he actually utilized them to gamble. If I didn't think I could assist him and he had no other way to raised the money, he would leave the school.

Do you believe that those who opened casinos were insane? It's difficult to win; your chances are slim, and even if you win, you would have to spend a lot of money before you win. Even when you strike it lucky and win for the first time, human avarice may prevent you from enjoying your winnings. Despite wanting to win more, you will nonetheless return the money and doing so increases your risk of losing more.

Yah to be honest I also do not prohibit them from gambling, but on one condition you have to gamble with a normal mind and with the real concept of gambling which is that this activity is only to provide you with pleasure or entertainment and not at all for income. Set boundaries because that's number one.

Every word of this always appears in all forum threads and it is very important to always remind gamblers, especially beginners who sometimes still don't know gambling, they always think that gambling is a quick way to achieve wealth, even though it is really just for fun, nothing more. Because there are so many people who misunderstand what gambling really is, it's not surprising that there are so many gambling addicts.

It is difficult if you have become an addict to recover completely, so you are always reminded that gambling must be wise and responsible because words like the above are always used as a warning to friends who are beginners in gambling, as much as possible, don't gamble if you still can't think of gambling as just an activity. pleasant.

Of course, especially beginners who are new to gambling when they get a win they will assume it is very easy to get money just by gambling and hearing how to play gambling to get a big win they will get, on the contrary there will be defeats that they will feel in the game, to avoid defeat it would be better to play with the aim of having fun, gambling is just a game of losing and winning not a place for income.

Most consider gambling can provide wealth for them, even today it is not only young people who play gambling. parents or children also participate in gambling, especially in slot games or online-based gambling, many people think that gambling gambling is like a solution for them to increase their finances through winning which in fact is difficult and almost impossible for them to get. So remember once again, gambling is just a place to find fun, nothing more than that and there you can spend a little time, but definitely not to look for victory because the real negative impact will definitely befall if it comes with the wrong mindset. That's right guys, the fear is for those newbies who have just come, they have to see how other people's downfalls are due to the wrong mindset.

Not really, because some people gamble without thinking about winning the game or making money from gambling. They only spend a little time gambling and end it when they feel they have had enough gambling. They will not gamble for too long because they know it could cause problems for them. They only try to treat gambling as entertainment and will not get too deep into gambling to avoid problems such as gambling addiction. They also will not make gambling a habit because it will cause problems if they become addicted to gambling.

Today I want to take a deep dive into gambling and how negatively it has impacted our society;

Growing up into a man I got used to gambling believing it will change my current financial status, which I was wrong, it was quite the opposite, not that am not seeing money, I was but I was too fix in making it through it.

When I finally quit the addiction, I realized that I was doing better than I even thought,

Fast forward to yesterday when I go into a betting shop to see someone, I was shock to see some of my guys in the neighborhood which I knew they where doing well, now looking wreshed an tattered.

One one thing I have noticed about gambling is that before you win a thousand box, they might have milk you of more than that.
[I just want to use this medium to appeal to the younger generation, please stay off gambling, if you must do so, gamble responsible, don't take it as your only source of living so it wouldn't milk you dry.

      -  Well, honestly speaking, gambling is not bad if it is done correctly or responsibly. It only becomes bad when it causes something bad in our personality, like having a gambling addiction; it's not good then, of course.

But if you can manage yourself in gambling, you will not lead to addiction, for sure, because you know yourself how to limit and control it, and for sure, you will not allow it to affect your family just because of your negligence in playing here in gambling. You should be limited in your gambling—not too much or too little.

Gambling can make a person's life fall apart from what was good to bad. This is because there are many temptations that a person will encounter while gambling and if he is not strong enough to face them, he will fall deeper into gambling. And the worst impact was that he became addicted to gambling. This is why if someone wants to gamble, he must always realize that gambling is entertainment. And when he gets it, he must be able to get out of gambling immediately before it is too late.

And don't make gambling a source of livelihood because it will be difficult for us to earn money. Gambling can also cause our finances to become a mess, especially if we often gamble without self-control. And if someone wants to gamble, he must prepare not to be tempted by the offers he sees while gambling.

The thing is, people, don't decide why they are gambling after they make up their minds that they will gamble, but they start gambling because they have already thought about what they want to achieve from it. So, someone who takes gambling as a way to earn money has already thought of different ways to earn money and they stumbled upon gambling and they decided that it might be the only way that can provide them with some quick profits in no time.

Those who take gambling as a way of entertainment have also decided it before they start gambling, they might have thought of different ways they can spend their time and they have decided that they will spend some money on gambling and have some fun hence they get into it and get out without any regrets even after losing the money.

We should not avoid gambling but rather avoid having thoughts that this activity would give you wealth or an instant way to get rich ‘coz there’s no such thing. As we all know, once you’re caught up with idealization of winning that jackpot no matter what, that is when you would be having problems to quit. Best thing is to have discipline however, it won’t be simply implied to oneself. Gambling has indeed its own risks but the one who gives weight to that risk is no other than ourselves. We are too fascinated of instances wherein some players are winning big time without considering how many have lost huge amount of money from gambling.

Yes, I agree with your opinion, many people have been trapped in the world of gambling and it is difficult to avoid gambling addiction, just like drugs, many people play gambling in the hope of winning big, they use various tricks or patterns to get victory. But what is wrong is that because they are sure of the victory they will get, they do not realize that this gambling game is only for entertainment alone, they should think that gambling is only for entertainment and nothing more than that, because the risk of gambling addiction is very high, of course it will harm themselves and even their relatives and family can be affected. Then how to prevent it? As you said, they must have discipline or be able to control their emotions and desires by gambling. If they can control their emotions, then there will be little or no risk from gambling.

No matter how good they are at gambling, they will not be separated from the luck that will give them victory, so they must realize that this game is not separated from luck, patterns and tricks will not guarantee them to be able to get a big win.

You know we all have different opinions and approaches on how we take gambling and the way we play and enjoy the fun, but not to rely on such for our full dependency, in such scenario of the case of your friend, that is not good enough to make as decision, gambling shouldn't be our only dependent means of revenue generation.

Do you believe that those who opened casinos were insane? It's difficult to win; your chances are slim, and even if you win, you would have to spend a lot of money before you win.

Gambling is not to deceive people or discouraged them from the reality that it has it own advantage and disadvantages, when we gambles, we should know also that it's either we win or loose, gambling is just another way of subscribing to have fun on things we love to do with the use of our personal money, some managed to win while some couldn't, but that doesn't determine how far we should make our performance wether if we are winning or not while gambling.

Gambling was not made to enrich people. The motive of every business man or woman is to make profit. But in gambling you Don expect to make profit on regular basis. It's just a game of luck and shouldn't be concentrated as a line of business. Gambling always has the slogan that you should use your spare money. But people always put all there energy on it like there life depends on it.

Gambling is not really as you thought, excess of every thing is a problem. Many people became rich with it and majority were made poor with it. I sudjet that betting should be based on what you can afford to loose. Which will not affect your other investment.

Your perception is correct, and the problem is that most gamblers don't pay attention to that.
Beginner gamblers may be careful at the start. they may fail but they have more time to gamble and that will give the effect of enjoyment and ultimately addiction. they will keep coming with their money.

now for anyone who wants to gamble. Be wise in managing your finances when you want to gamble. although in fact we never know when we can lose control of the game.

Very few people become rich from gambling, most people become poor because of gambling and even go bankrupt and have a lot of debt. Gambling activities are very exciting, there is an exciting sensation when placing a bet and there is satisfaction when winning a bet. Maybe that feeling is what makes people addicted to gambling

But the funny thing about gambling is that we know that the chances of winning are smaller and the chances of losing are bigger, but we still gamble

As long as it is and many fact that if you see gambling as a door to depend on life is a mistake, and the calculation of losses will definitely be very swollen in finance speaking, no one can dodge it about it. It needs to be underlined what needs to be changed is the perspective of gambling and how to use it for your own happiness, and do it responsibly.

Do you believe that those who opened casinos were insane? It's difficult to win; your chances are slim, and even if you win, you would have to spend a lot of money before you win.

Casinos need to pay for workers, pay for operations and features available in the casino, this is a type of business, which also needs to take advantage for them to continue and it is obtained from the customer's deposit money, so the possibility to win is very small in Gambling, in addition to the expertise and luck that is the mainstay of gamblers, giving from home directly is one of the indicators to benefit. In an economic view, this might be silly when looking at people who play in gambling to get victory by bringing big money, but for those who only want pleasure, sometimes it requires great costs to make us happy.

I think it's not bad to expect to win more than your bet as long as you have a budget for it, just for me.
And it's really wrong if you think of gambling as a source of income, if this is how you think of gambling, I think you have a problem.

For the ones that gamble just for the entertainment value of gambling, even if their chances of winning are smaller this is not really a problem for them as they do not care about it, the contradiction comes from those that want to obtain profits out of gambling and have no reliable method to do so, those people should instead wait until they develop such a method, which in the majority of the cases it would mean those people never gambler again, however they simply assume that despite the odds being against them that things will turn out fine, and as you may guess they never do.

you are setting a bad example here mate. perspective changes from people to people and how they approach them. Your mistake was you approached gambling as a mean of income but not as a mean of entertainment. how did you get the thought that gambling can get you money for living? this kind of misunderstanding is the problem why people get addicted and why gambling milk them dry. it's every people's personal problem. how they approach gambling is how they will get treated by gambling.

only gamble with what you can afford to lose. something that won't affect your daily life or your whole life. this is why people make budget for gambling. they only use what they can afford to lose and which will never affect their daily life. so the thing is the main problem is lack of knowledge. people don't understand what gambling really is, and they don't follow the rules of gambling.

instead of telling people to stay away from gambling, share the knowledge. show them every good and bad side of gambling. that way they can choose whether if they want to gamble or not. or if they want to gamble how should they proceed.

Right 💡 Idea.
Gambling and betting in our country has gone to such a level that it is not only limited to the elderly but has spread to school, college and university students which is now a serious concern. In order to inform them about the dangers of gambling, the bad aspects of gambling must be conveyed to them and counseling should be done about the dangers of gambling in the society.
Moreover, another important step is to make the parents aware because if the parents are aware, they can take care of their children. If public awareness can be created about the dangers of gambling then it will be possible to reduce the addiction to gambling at the village and urban level.
Moreover, counseling should be done to maintain religious and social values and laws should be enacted to punish gambling severely from the government level.

Moreover, counseling should be done to maintain religious and social values and laws should be enacted to punish gambling severely from the government level.

Gambling in our country is already a criminal offense. so the government rule is already there, but people still do it. economic situation of everyone in our country is not that good, so they often try to find a way for earning quick money. and they focus on gambling most of the time. from a religious view as a Muslim gambling is not good. but there are other religion that people follow in our country. it's a mixed religious country so putting only one rules for everyone won't be a good idea. if you are a religious person then you must avoid it. but if not then people should know about the bad and good side of gambling. that way we can prevent people from getting addicted or making that decisions.

The thing about young people getting addicted to gambling is from the lack of knowledge. as I said before it happens because of people are searching for quick money. if we can somehow create opportunities for youngsters to make money other way, then this problem could be solved to some extent. but punishing them won't help that much. because self willingness is the key to avoid something entirely.
