Is gambling bad to the society?

[oktana]

It has its good and bad sides so we can’t say if it is good or bad to the society. Unless in a particular society, gambler loose a lot of money, then we can say it can indirectly affect the society. Gambling takes some people out of poverty. There are a few people who are skilled with analysis and they get it right many times, in that case it is useful and is helpful to the society.

Yes and the good and bad side of it really depends on how a gambler treats his gambling activities, I understand that gambling can be used as an entertainment activity when we are in boring leisure time but only a few gamblers can really do this kind of action, most of them treat gambling in the wrong way which is because they are deceived or wrong in terms of understanding the chances of winning in gambling, they think it is very easy to realize victory, even though everything they see is tantalizing in fact all of that is nothing more than a temptation so that they act more and more excessive.
In my opinion, the benefits of gambling only provide entertainment but there is absolutely no such thing as success, or I mean there are no consistent results in the long run to always win because after all, gambling will always be an activity that will never be predictable until whenever, meaning that no one can change their life for the better just by gambling, and if that's true then I'm sure there are many people who have followed in that footsteps, but obviously I think it makes no sense to believe in such success with just a little effort.

I think that it’s more than that. For instance, there’s greed; no matter how much people win, they’ll want to win more right away thinking it has gotten easy or they have become masters. And even if not instantly, they’ll start gambling for bigger amounts of money. Despite the wins or losses or the belief of future wins, we ought to have control.

There are some rich dudes whom you don't need to worry about their gambling lifestyle because they have a lot of money, can gamble with any amount they want, and still have enough money to handle the family's needs. Unless the person has a gambling addiction problem, he can have other family problems. Apart from not providing money for family needs, he can end up not giving enough attention to his wife and kids. Some poor gamblers too also have such a gambling lifestyle, but the problem starts if they are addicted gamblers, when they are gambling to fulfill family needs, or maybe they are using the money meant for family use to gamble. 

Indeed, there are some rich people who have a lot of money so they can gamble as they wish and it doesn't affect their family's needs, but even though they have enough spare money, of course the opportunity for them to become addicted is still there, and of course they can become addicted if they lose self-control. when gambling and of course it will affect his finances. where at first they don't have problems with their finances and needs, but when they become addicted to gambling, of course financial problems and other problems can occur.

Of course, when they become addicted to gambling, what will most likely happen is that they will only focus on the gambling they want. and of course that will enable them to ignore everything around them, including their wife or children. Apart from that, someone who is addicted to gambling will certainly experience a change in attitude where they will become a more stubborn person and tend to only prioritize their ego.

The ego is very dangerous, because it has no boundaries and can bring the player to anything, even to the very bottom, but the main thing here is not that, but the fact that at that moment he will think that he is right and no one will convince him. As for me, I used to be like that too, but then I became older and realized that we have to pay very dearly for our ego and I’m not ready to do it all the time. I became calmer and began to think more, I became interested in different strategies and communication with other players. I am very happy about this and I think that I will never return to this problem.

In general, it is difficult for me to say how much gambling harms society, but negative aspects sometimes occur. But if we are honest, then life is full of not very good things, the main thing is how we relate to it and perceive it.

Don't professional gamblers also consider gambling as their source of income?

Either you are a professional gambler or you are not a professional gambler. I don’t think it’s proper to take gambling as a source of income. All I will say is that gambling should be for fun and shouldn’t be taken as a source of income. Some people are already addicted to gambling, but they are always claiming they are professional gamblers, and they can control their gambling habit, but they can’t really control it. Don’t be surprised that people you think are professionals are not really professionals.
 
Anyone who claims to be a professional gambler should already know much about gambling, so you should know that gambling shouldn’t be taken as a source of income, gambling should be done just to have fun alone and shouldn’t be taken as their source of income.

The consequences of irresponsible gambling is very high and it can make the addict look unkept like someone insane. This is why as a gambler, you should be able to have prevention measures on addiction in order to gamble happily and enjoy the fun in gambling. I agree with every points that you highlighted, but the problems lies on the people who see gambling as a means of making profit, and they will go at extra miles to make sure that they continue gambling even though they are running at big loss. Such people needs to quit gambling and go on a long break, if not they are doing more harm to themselves. If most gamblers can key into the rules of gambling and only gamble for fun, we will have less gambling related problems in the society.

It baffles me when I see matured people being too addicted to gambling to the extent of becoming so violent and angry with their family as if they are the cause of their problems when it is clearly what one uses his hand and money to get himself into. A lot of people in the society now are into gambling due to economic hardship and this has made many people to depend on gambling as a source of income because they feel the money comes easily.

It is important for gamblers to know that gambling is supposed to be played for fun and not taken for source of income. Gambling is not bad but it depends on how it is being played because I believe when some does something responsibly no body will say bad words against them but when it is done otherwise, people begin to raise concern and begins to condemn their gambling habits.

Your opinion on gambling aligns with my own perspective. it should be enjoyed as entertainment, not relied upon for income. It's quite fascinating how we witness adults succumb to addiction and manifest violent behaviors towards their families out of anger, all stemming from their own volition to engage in gambling. The vicious cycle traps many individuals struggling with financial instability; they perceive gambling as a fast-track solution to their monetary woes, only to discover that it leads them further down the path of substantial losses.

Gamblers should be conscious of risks and play responsibly, but in a simple and wise manner, just for entertainment, there is no need to worry or cause harm to oneself. On the other hand, if gambling becomes too excessive such that it starts interfering with your personal life or financial stability then seeking help and changing this habit is necessary. Remember: control yourself while gambling wisely as this is the secret to maintaining balance and finding happiness in life without any external interference from gambling.

Gambling causes pains to lots of people in the society and at same time returns back a smile on the faces of players who play to smile. Whatever is it that happens to a gambler would be as a result of his actions. For gambling to be the causes of anxiety and mental disorder, definitely, somehow, the affected players weren't taking it serious. They went there for the money. Addiction on the other hand, rarely occur to players who make fun out of the game. The society generally has a wrong perception of gambling.

That's the main reason most gamblers engage into the game with the fear of losing their money. Such fears wouldn't help the gambler in decision making. Because he would be driven off unawares to receive multiple losses enough to change his ways of thinking. The player's next action could be how to recover the lost money, make more out of it and become wealthy. Such mistakes, in a way, has to do with the first hand information or knowledge the novice player had in mind before participating in gambling.

I have seen many gamblers in my community living a very poor life who depend solely on gambling to support their families. They basically chose gambling as one of the main source of income and without any alternative source of income they depend on gambling only to support the family thus the family members lead a very poor life. Society I left out but considering only the family, gambling can in no way be a suitable profession to support the family but can only be a source of enjoyment for a gambler. A society certainly expects good contribution from a citizen but society can never expect anything good from a gambler. Society can't expect anything good and a family can't expect prosperity from that gambler. So a gambler must keep in mind that he is a valuable asset of the society and the society must expect something valuable from him, so he should never waste anything valuable by engaging in gambling.

[Fiasem20]

Gambling in our contemporary society is viewed on a wrong perspective, that's people gamble as means to make profit.Neglecting the aspect of being entertained and having fun while gambling.Their mindset are fixed on making profit without having the knowledge that gambling is not a source of income.Gambling addicts act wild most times which gives them a poor relationship status with their relatives, colleagues etc,the reason why they act wild is they go an extra mile to make sure they ease the pressure of gambling.A gambling addict who have the motive of earning but losses at times,feel depressed,isolate himself/herself from other etc.

[tread93]

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
( Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

Gambling isn't so much bad for society as it creates a fun and interesting atmosphere but its the effects of gambling in that atmosphere that tend to be bad to society. The addictions that gambling creates, and all the problems that gambling ushers in if the person isn't winning or being honest with their selves or others about their losses. Overall I think that the folks that get caught up with gambling addictions are setting themselves up for failure. It is such a tragedy to keep seeing this type of posts all the time on here and even on other platforms.

[Obari]

It all depends on how you see it,and from the angle you see it, although your experience about gambling will make you have what to say about gambling, whether it's bad for the society,or it's good for the society,but if I am to talk about it,I will definitely be on the fence, because I know poepl who gambling have changed their lives,so to those persons,they can never condemn gambling,they will always speak good about it.But for me who haven't won much in gambling,I can say it has a negative effect on people and also have a positive effect,and if I'm to talk about it negativity,I have so much to say,then talking about it positivity,I also have much to say,like I said,it all depends on the angle in which you see it,and from which you've experienced.

[AliMan]

That's how sad when talking about reality of gambling, we all knew it but people still ignored those facts associated. They're getting influenced with so many temptations linked to being motivated with different winning experiences of so many players. That's how toxic gambling is to the society, despite all of the warnings and advices, every individual choose their will to participate and gamble their money. Each individual's willingness was due to confidence that came from several advertisements.

Thank God you said gambling is just like alcohol and remember they said in alcohol that one should drink responsibly in that case one also need to gamble responsibly and as a matter of fact gambling is not for everybody I believe one should know within himself/herself that a particular thing is not meant for them and then abstain from that thing. In as much as gambling is misleading some people, there are also people it has helped and there are some may people that are people doing well today cause of gamble I mean what they have benefited from it. A wise person will always be a wise person and gambling can never stop.

Indeed, there are some rich people who have a lot of money so they can gamble as they wish and it doesn't affect their family's needs, but even though they have enough spare money, of course the opportunity for them to become addicted is still there, and of course they can become addicted if they lose self-control. when gambling and of course it will affect his finances. where at first they don't have problems with their finances and needs, but when they become addicted to gambling, of course financial problems and other problems can occur.

Of course, when they become addicted to gambling, what will most likely happen is that they will only focus on the gambling they want. and of course that will enable them to ignore everything around them, including their wife or children. Apart from that, someone who is addicted to gambling will certainly experience a change in attitude where they will become a more stubborn person and tend to only prioritize their ego.

I became calmer and began to think more, I became interested in different strategies and communication with other players. I am very happy about this and I think that I will never return to this problem.

In general, it is difficult for me to say how much gambling harms society, but negative aspects sometimes occur. But if we are honest, then life is full of not very good things, the main thing is how we relate to it and perceive it.

It's true that it all depends on how we respond and perceive it. With those who experience a lot of losses, maybe they gamble excessively by following their strong ego, and indeed if we prioritize ego, it's certainly not good, it will only make them experience problems. and when they follow their ego it is unlikely that they will be aware of it and stop, mostly when they follow their ego they certainly cannot stop and continue gambling with increasingly greater risks. But of course, if they continue to follow their ego, it will only get them into bigger problems.

and of course those who gamble with the perception of making money are the ones who will feel ego and prioritize ego in the gambling they do. Apart from that, gambling is actually not bad for society if their perception is that gambling is just for entertainment, but if they gamble with the wrong perception then it will be bad for them and even for other people.

And even if not instantly, they’ll start gambling for bigger amounts of money. Despite the wins or losses or the belief of future wins, we ought to have control.

Gamblers have different psychology. There are some gamblers who take a break after winning. Some people enjoy their victories. There are also some greedy gamblers who after winning, keep their money into a betting account instead of used it so that they can win more in the future. But if for some reason they lose even a small amount then they lose all their winnings to recover the money. Even though gambling is not guaranteed to win, some gamblers try to guarantee winning which is their big mistake. In my opinion the biggest contributor to gambling losses or disaster is greed. Those who can control greed can also manage responsible gambling.

That's how toxic gambling is to the society, despite all of the warnings and advices, every individual choose their will to participate and gamble their money. Each individual's willingness was due to confidence that came from several advertisements.

True, and besides that there are several factors of circumstances that can further trigger a person to get involved in gambling which one of them is when they are having financial problems in their lives that make them depressed and as we know that sometimes a person can justify any means to get money when they are in a depressed and urgent situation which is possible if in the end they are attracted to gambling with various initial scenarios that attract them to fall into which one of them is like the promotional advertisement that you said above.

The situation can apply to everyone but most of them are poor people or those who have a precarious financial situation who end up choosing gambling by putting high hopes on winning. Initially they think that gambling can be used as a place or intermediary to change their lives, but as time goes by the situation gets worse and the situation will be even more stressful when they have entered the phase of chasing losses.

I didn't say there was no chance of getting addicted. What I mean is that, since they are rich, they might have the money to gamble with at all time and they may also have enough money to handle the needs of the family but where they will encounter issues in the relationship is when they become addicted and divert all their attention from wife and children to gambling. Women love attention and children likes attention to be guided by their parents. If you are not giving the required attention to the family but rather to gambling, it can cause disagreements and fight between the man and wife. That was my point their.

therefore these who become desperate have never cared about their family

For sure they care about the situation of their family, but they are just defeated on their wrong expectation that someday their life will be change on instant by help of gambling especially if they hit the jackpot prize of certain gambling activities. This mindset should be corrected since its dangerous for people to do consistent gambling and risk everything he have since we know that there's nothing good to earn since winning huge is rare to happen while losing instantly could happen to them anytime especially if they are not paying to much attention on their activities or track their win lose records. Addiction is really a bad situation where a gambler fall for that's why settle up our expectation and gambling moderately this is important advice that we need to watch for.

actually it's not bad, the bad thing is only the part of people who are ruined by gambling. which results in people around seeing the person consider the bad effects of gambling to be a criminal liar. If someone is destroyed because of gambling, they can be wise in hiding the devastating wounds they feel, perhaps they will not be looked down upon by those around them.

That's how sad when talking about reality of gambling, we all knew it but people still ignored those facts associated. They're getting influenced with so many temptations linked to being motivated with different winning experiences of so many players. That's how toxic gambling is to the society, despite all of the warnings and advices, every individual choose their will to participate and gamble their money. Each individual's willingness was due to confidence that came from several advertisements.

True, and besides that there are several factors of circumstances that can further trigger a person to get involved in gambling which one of them is when they are having financial problems in their lives that make them depressed and as we know that sometimes a person can justify any means to get money when they are in a depressed and urgent situation which is possible if in the end they are attracted to gambling with various initial scenarios that attract them to fall into which one of them is like the promotional advertisement that you said above.

The situation can apply to everyone but most of them are poor people or those who have a precarious financial situation who end up choosing gambling by putting high hopes on winning. Initially they think that gambling can be used as a place or intermediary to change their lives, but as time goes by the situation gets worse and the situation will be even more stressful when they have entered the phase of chasing losses.

If that remains a contagious activity, I believed chasing losses eventually ruins the family budget which really an essential thing to support family needs. Hard earned money is in danger of over spending due to gambling, if a person attached with gambling couldn't overcome his hard core habits? It's more like of a drug that's uncontrollable, because it needs self rehabilitation in order to stop. But whom can we seek help? Well, I guess no one could do that for us but ourselves! Nobody is held responsible for what we did but ourselves.
Uplifting our moral is very important, helping our own personal being could be possible because you knew exactly your limitations both strength and weaknesses.
