Is gambling bad to the society?

[rachael9385]

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.

Normally gamble is not a game of side income because winning doesn't come always and a gambler also have to be careful with the kind of predictions he/she made or choose and how much they wager on bets. Besides the most important things a gambler should know is that he or she shouldn't gamble with what he/she can not afford to lose. Knowing of what can is and what it's capable of when you don't do it the right way is very important, addicted gamblers today are not aware of it this that's the reason why they are addicted.

Yes, gambling is bad to the society if the gambler is poor and keep creating new problem to other people.

Gambling isn't bad to the society if the gambler is rich and he like to help other people by giving free money, people will think he's like a God and gambling isn't a problem at all.

Can you see the difference? I believe you can.

yeah I do see the difference, but for those society who takes the poor gambler as a crime to the society. I don't think they're doing the right thing because they're only looking at the bad side of it, not knowing that with gambling you can become a millionaire in life to help and support to the society. And for those society that takes a rich person as helper or a God to the society, I guess they do know that they started when they were poor. So for those society who sees gambling as a means of creating new problems should also see the good side of it, seeing what the rich one's are doing at the society, so for me that should also let them know that gambling do helps.

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.

Good the points. No matter how much we discuss and criticize the dangers of gambling, no benefits seem to come from it. Nowadays, the young generation is becoming so interested in gambling that they are devoting their entire academic studies to gambling, which poses a serious threat to future generations. MCW ,A popular casino site in our country where millions of young boys and girls are involved and they are making huge losses from this casino. Hundreds of boys and girls in my community are losing huge amounts from these casino sites and ruining their careers. As a Guardian I am facing a very dangerous situation with the young generation.

Study of gambling would start with Probability which is no new subject to study in depth its hundreds of years old .  Blaise Pascal, same guy who the units of pressure pascals is named after studied some of the laws of probability which relates to gambling.  If we are talking proper gambling its no negative thing, it will advance your understanding and ability to play with knowledge of when is the best time to play or to reduce your size of play etc.

I have seen many people gambling but gambling is mostly about people. A gambler is demoralized and disillusioned when the dividend is actually in the stomach and he only gambles. and became addicted to gambling, later when faced with losses came home and began to commit various misdeeds. I have seen such gamblers in the real world but those who are rich gamblers are basically losers but they don't see it because of that they are not good criminals in the eyes of society. But those who are poor gamblers who want to express the pain of losing half become two in the eyes of the society whenever they do so.

it is someone who does not understand the concept of gambling we think that gambling is about him and if you are one of the gambler do not pay attention to what your people will say about you as you are a gambler because that will make you to be distracted so you need to focus and the no very well that gambling is something of determination and you can only profit in gambling based on Opportunity and the chance so for me someone who is a gambler I have a hope because when you think that you will not benefit in gambling that time might be the appropriate time for you to win in gambling so if you want to be successful do not listen to any side talk as a gambler

[teamsherry]

I bin any uncontrolled situation becomes a neusance, if gamblers get to a point that they ate too many addicts and they start to be a problem to the environment then the government may be forced to see them as bad and might even set up a law against gambling, do yeah I think if everything gets out of hand and so many suicide here and there and many teenagers getting in or worse then it's becomes bad like every other addiction.

[junder]

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.

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.

yes, that's right, with those who are rich, of course they have enough money to gamble and they probably won't worry when their gambling ends in defeat because they still have enough money to survive and still be able to meet their basic needs, what is unnatural is when they force themselves and their needs are not met and this happens when they are addicted to gambling. and that will happen when they can't control themselves even though they have enough money, of course the chance of them becoming addicted is still there and it's just as likely as those who don't have enough money if they can't control themselves well.
It's true what you say, they will experience financial problems and it will affect their good relationships where these financial problems occur because they are addicted to gambling. and yes, when this bad thing happens it will have an impact on disputes or fights between each other which can lead to divorce and this bad thing can happen when they pay less attention to their family members because they only prioritize gambling.

That's why being a guardian to my younger generation son and daughter I constantly monitored their activities particular with social media and other stuffs on the internet. Money issuance will always be an optimum amount to their allowance so they won't be able to partake with gambling whether physical or online betting. Educating them on values on importance of hard earned money from us their parent, and with that ways I believed gambling would be a serious interest for them to tackle with despite of how bad it affects the society.

To be fair enough, you cannot necessarily monitor all the activities of this young generation because if they did not learn from home, they can easily learn from their peers in school or those in the neighbourhood. Just do the best you can as a parent by continually reminding the taught lessons so as to keep their minds refreshed and hope they don't get misled by what they see around. Talking about social media, there are often times where gambling ads just keep popping up, some are from apps we use in our phone while some are from the page we are in, so they'll definitely get exposed to all these gambling but I guess this is where the quality of your advise comes in.

Gambling is not bad to the society, its what the people should know and be ready to accept that they are the ones that make use of gambling together with other means of entertainment to disrupt the society in one way or the other, the intention for the creation of gambling is on engaging the people together to have fun and enjoy this during their free time, just as many have seen gambling as a means of having fun which i don't think should have any negative influence to the society.

We can instill important values ​​to make children think logically about what is good and what is bad for them.
Currently, it is difficult for us to monitor everything our children do. we can limit them for now. but the most important thing is that they must think to stay away from bad things.
Situations closer to the child will be more important now for me, and I will emphasize the dos and don'ts. and in the future, once they know the risks, it is up to them to decide. But we must do our best to prepare them to face their future.

gambling bad in society is the perspective of the people in the area. Some people think it's bad, because this can have an effect on the habits of the people around them. they afraid  his family will be trapped in gambling activities too. Of course, those of us who know the reason, will not blame those who gamble, because it is their own decision. However, in other side, people can assume that gambling will increase criminal activity in town, because of gambler cannot control their finances. Like a case, if they lose, gambler have the potential to commit crimes, either stealing or robbing. from this a small percentage of gambler will probably do these negative things. However, gambling is not the cause, but the emotions of the gambler it self. Because many people in this world are gambled, but they can still control themselves both in family and social life and never do any negative activities around them.

If you are really that always making up that kind of reflection on trying out to mimic those rich people and if you are really just that on average or someone whose really that in poorer side then it would really be just that bringing out that huge devastation into you on which this is something that you should really be trying out to avoid as much as you could because we do know that once  that desperation would really be kicking in then this is something that would really be that so hard to control and as long you do have the money that you could really be able to play on then you would really be definitely be pushing up yourself to the limits until you would really be losing it all on which this is something that would really be happening. This is why it would really be better that you should really be self wary on the actions that you are taking if you dont really like to mess
up yourself on gambling field.

Gambling isnt really that bad, it is really just that people do mess up their lives because of the actions that they are taking because if they are really just that responsible on the things that they are really that doing
then you wont really be finding yourself on such trouble. People are really just that forgetting on whats the real reason on why people do gamble and how it should really be treated up.

Gambling may not harm the society if it is taken as fun, but how many of you in the society can accept this gambling as fun for entertainment? A few people in the society may accept gambling as fun but most of the people who are middle class and lower class mainly consider gambling as one of the main source of money income that is why gambling has more negative effects than positive when it comes to society. Gambling is now spreading like a virus to the young generation and it is a threat to the young generation. If awareness is not raised among the young generation about the dangers of gambling then the world cannot expect anything good from the young generation in the future.

Gambling bring progress and happiness to the society, there are some people that won in their gambling to establish some businesses in the society that is making other society to encourage their people to engage themselves into gambling.

I don't think gambling is bad to society, because many people have use gambling to pay their school fees those days, because they gamble once or many times and it work for them, assume gambling is illegal to such society, it would have be difficult for the students to win such money to solve the school fees solution.

Those that addicted to gambling in the society, are the ones that is making people to think gambling is a bad thing to people but if you understand gambling very well, it will be difficult for people to be addicted to gambling because you need to control your emotion which is one of the thing that is pushing people to be addicted to gambling.

yeah I do see the difference, but for those society who takes the poor gambler as a crime to the society. I don't think they're doing the right thing because they're only looking at the bad side of it, not knowing that with gambling you can become a millionaire in life to help and support to the society. And for those society that takes a rich person as helper or a God to the society, I guess they do know that they started when they were poor. So for those society who sees gambling as a means of creating new problems should also see the good side of it, seeing what the rich one's are doing at the society, so for me that should also let them know that gambling do helps.

I can't fault your assumption completely, of course it really depends on which country you live in.
In my country, giving gambling proceeds as charity is not commonplace, it is not accepted everywhere, especially since gambling is considered prohibited or haram. Maybe some people in society don't care where you make your money, but I'm not really sure if anyone ever openly gives alms from their gambling winnings in my country.

The government does not legalize gambling, but gambling can occur everywhere in my country. Some corrupt government elements give illegal permits to several domestic gambling industries, they are certainly behind the scenes expecting monthly to yearly payments.

Gambling will be considered bad in any country if gambling has changed your behavior to be abnormal. Of course, gambling becomes bad if it makes you no longer care about your financial condition, family or other things. If gambling has changed your normal self into an abnormal one, then gambling has become bad for you, as well as for society.

As what the title is asking, I think it is not unless people will become irresponsible with it. The only downside with gambling it ads being rampant and descriminately being posted online which will then influence minors to jump-in in the hope of making money out of it which is quite common especially in third world countries like mine.

Gambling is overall a net positive to society, that being said it is true that it can cause some people to become addicted to it, which is why it is legal but heavily regulated, however this is true for many other industries as well, so gambling is not being specifically targeted by governments, also in the minds of many people, since gambling can cause addiction, they put it on the same bag as drugs, but gambling addiction probably occurs in less than 1% of those that try it, while drug addiction is many times more common, with some drugs being so addictive that it can cause a person to become dependent on it from their very first use.

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

Of course chasing losses will always be an action that can never be justified, because after all there are very significant adverse effects that begin with losing money slowly in the long run, and obviously these impacts can destroy the financial situation in the family which will most likely make it difficult for them to make ends meet. Expenses will be much greater than income and this is what will destroy the balance in one's finances due to excessive spending on gambling.

In the end, as you said, no one cares about us except ourselves, meaning that if the bad habit is not stopped immediately, the situation will get worse over time and I am sure that the people around us will also stay away from us when they find out that we are having problems in life because of the impact of gambling. Therefore, we should not get tired of reminding anyone, especially beginners, to really apply a rational mindset and point of view in themselves before it's too late, because as we know that if you have entered the addiction phase then it is a very difficult problem to overcome.
