Is gambling bad to the society?

[nimogsm]

It all comes back to a person's capacity to use gambling, we often find someone when gambling focuses only on winnings and some are just for fun, of course the bad impact is someone who hopes for a big win when gambling, but the reality is just the opposite which has a bad impact.  for that person, it all depends on how they consume it in their daily life, because that can also be a measure of a player's badness.

According to my observations, more dangerous are single players who have no friends and only a few acquaintances who are also very keen on gambling, so they can be dangerous if they become very interested in gambling and start getting into debt, then the search for money for gambling can end very sadly, and namely petty thefts and selling valuables from one’s home.It is very important what kind of environment the player has.

[Ludmilla_rose1995]

usually in eastern countries, gambling is considered very bad and is definitely labeled negatively by society, but unlike western countries, there gambling is not considered bad, so gambling is bad for society depending on where the area is

gambling for some people has different understanding and treatment, there are those who consider gambling entertainment, a way to make money and a way to get rid of addiction, and it cannot be denied that the turnover of gambling money is very large, so in countries where gambling is legal, gambling is not bad for society

[redsun114]

I think that the answer lays on the perspective how we look on gambling. There are people who see gambling only as an entertainment or time killer. For me, that is the way gambling is, and I find it ok. Some people see gambling as a way to earn. Well, I can say that there are much better ways to earn.

Society needs gambling as additional way to have fun. Society must change attitude to gambling from negative (stop reading and producing info how people only lose) to neutral (a way to have fun, but not a primary one).

A society consists of people from different age groups and different thought processes, and each person will have a different perception regarding several things, and those perceptions are based either on personal experience, knowledge, or general understanding.

People who are somewhat aged and have a lot of experience of life in general, can tell whether gambling is something good or not, and they will have a mindset based on what they have seen in their lives. Those who are old might consider gambling something bad because they have seen a lot of people getting negatively affected by it, and there is nothing wrong in that because we also see that happening a lot around us. People lose money that they should lose in gambling only because of greed or addiction.

For me personally it would look bad if gambling was played every day, only gamblers who are chasing money can do it, look at how gamblers are not only chasing money from gambling, they will only gamble on the weekends and even then it's not more than just a few hours of gambling there. , as a gambler we should be able to control ourselves and at the same time manage our time, especially our budget, so that we don't waste too much when gambling and make the gambling look bad to other people because we can't control it.

Every gambler is required to be able to control himself because that is an important thing before starting to gamble. Most people are only after making money from gambling because they see people around them winning or a streamer winning big at gambling, which motivates many other gamblers to continue playing every day. hoping to win gambling and get a steady income every day in gambling, even though it will never be successful because if gamblers keep winning every day then many casinos will close every day, precisely because of the large number of reckless users, many new casinos appear every day because of this is a profitable business for them.

There are many types of people using gambling. For example, with what you said, if you see someone gambling only focus on winning, that person may not know how to have fun in gambling, because if you see that side, the risk of dependence and addiction to gambling will be felt, everyone knows about gambling the risk of losing is higher than winning,
From the point of view of individuals who are different and only focus on gambling in the entertainment category, people like this who better understand what gambling means, because they know the risk of winning is very small and they place bets with what they want, and they can afford to lose that money and not feel disappointed, because in their minds, this is just entertainment.

If the portion of gambling is excessive it will certainly have an impact on our financial pockets or on our daily lives, it will definitely have an impact too. When gambling, you should not overdo it, just use a budget that is not too excessive. In my opinion, they are not only concerned with winning, usually they continue to play to catch up on the losses they experienced previously.

Indeed, addiction is really a difficult situation to battle for those individual who became slave with it specially when bad habits remains a redundant actions. Giving reminders and warning to someone who's not absorbing our thoughts is kinda exhausting, and its not worth it for someone who has no plans to change their mindset and attitude. In reality we couldn't force someone to stop, since they all have their own personal reasons that hinders them to flee from gambling quickly. Some people said that they have perfect time for everything, then there's no need to have repetitive advice and it's up to them if they'll going take those helpful words of wisdom.

This is why it's usually said that before you try to help an addict, make sure to the addict is willing to let go of the addiction before even thinking of helping them because that way helping becomes easier but if you are trying to help someone who isn't really willing to be helped or isn't willing to drop the habit as at the time when you are trying to help, then they will end up making most of your efforts vain because in the end you won't be able to achieve that which you desired to achieve trying to help them because they aren't even willing the be helped in the first place.

Some one who's actually really willing to let go of their unhealthy and irresponsible gambling habit doesn't need so much of advice for them to agree to letting go and getting help so they will be better to break free from such habits so helping them becomes difficult.

There are many people who are addicted to gambling who do not understand their addiction. But there are many who consider their gambling habits and realize that they are addicted to gambling. But understanding addiction is not the only way a gambler can recover from his addiction. There are many who understand but still cannot quit gambling. Those gamblers definitely need help from another person. But there are many gamblers who do not seek help from others. If someone wants to help them, they can refuse them. If there are people who don't want help, there is a possibility of getting into many more problems who want to help him.

Perfect example and view. We should be aware that when it comes to gambling addiction or any other, willpower is broken and Dopamine is always seeked in the process which makes it look hard for gamblers to quit even when they want to.
The truth is they failed to recognize it at an early stage, I believe with persistent self discipline and control with help of others am sure they can be free.

No matter how conscious a gambler plays, if he gambles once and makes money, the person who gambles twice as much a second time bets that the gambler instead loses all his money and goes home penniless. A gambler can never give happiness to his family because he is always busy with gambling and how will he look after his family so a gambler must think about his family and quit gambling. They become so addicted to gambling for fun that one time they try to convince him but he doesn't try to understand anyone. He has no money left to repay. So a gambler should know all aspects of gambling before gambling then become addicted to winning.

Gambling is a very serious addiction once addicted to gambling one can never quit gambling. We should always try to stay away from gambling. I know people who start gambling in the first place take gambling as entertainment.  There is. They don't even know when they become addicted to gambling. We all should take gambling as entertainment. Gambling can never become addiction.

[Sakanwa]

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?

you know back in the day's everyone see gambling as bad thing to the society, and right now some countries don't allow gambling in their country, why because they've seen the addicted ones in the country how their behavior and they don't want their youth's to get into it. Meanwhile some countries add a restriction towards gambling if you're not up to 18 years old you can't register with them, is not that gambling it's that bad but the people making it seems like it's bad are the addicted one's they make gambling looks evil. In the eyes of the society but not knowing that gambling is also helping in other hand, their are some countrys which are extremely poor but some of the citizens survive with gambling and some people which you see having some big investment. Most of them took the risk by gambling and they got what their wants now. So gambling might be bad in some other society but not all the society, I know why government aren't ready for them to into gambling aspects it's because they're profiting from the casinos. So with my own opinion gambling isn't bad to the society either it's helps out with some things which the government can't afford to the citizens.

[ethereumhunter]

I don't think there are such society in this world, where everybody in the society will be gambling without having other work to do,  which is a bad thing to such society because gambling cannot stop you not to do other work or business.

Gambling is not a bad thing when you take it as form of entertainment, and it will not make you to gamble above your budget and it will make you to love gambling more because you are not doing it because you want to win billions but if billion enter you will celebrate.

I don't think society will be happy to such gamblers that will be gambling in the society without doing other things, like in my society if such person is be caught with such attitude, there are some punishment for such gamblers.

We don't knows if any society do that thing or they are not playing gambling. If there are any, they will not tells to public but will hides themselves from public because that can makes them busy to answers the questions from public. Playing gambling is not a bad thing IF we can use it as an entertainment and have fun. But unfortunately, many people still thinks that gambling can gives them a chance to makes money so they will still try to wins from gambling. They will not care to spends much money to wins in gambling because their minds will keeps telling them to trying more and more. Most society will not happy to see their people playing gambling and will always suggest them to stay away from gambling before it's too late to quit gambling.

[rodskee]

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.

these are the scenario most addicted gambler is facing butthat will  never happen to you if you are a
self controlled gambler in which very few managed to keep for themselves while in gambling.

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?

not because we should not treat gambling as a means of earning is
that we should add this to a bad in society because there are many gamblers
than knows how to limit themselves so that is far from being bad to the community right?

Yep, that's depends on personal views but you can imagine what will happens to society if most people on that society playing gambling. You will see they don't do other things and only playing gambling and they use gambling for their main things for their lives. They can't separate which is their primary things or secondary things in their lives but they will use gambling as their primary things. They will talks about gambling every day no matter if they are takes a break from gambling or while they playing gambling. It seems they don't have other things to do and just keeps playing gambling. That will makes that society lives becomes worst  because they can't do other things that can benefits their lives. They becomes lazy and don't wants to moves from their zone because they thinks that they are okay with all of that but the truth is they are not okay.

A freedom limiting thing is never really that great. I mean if it's bodily harm I would understand, like making heroin illegal is understandable because you are hurting your body, like literally unaliving yourself. However, casinos are just money places, the only thing they are after is your money, and this is true for EVERY business, they are just after your money, they have zero other side effects, they just take your money and nothing more.

If you spend all of your money on a casino, that is not casinos fault, and they should not be banned for it. I always had the belief that casinos should be legal all around the world, it would make things a lot better, and it would give people a chance to make it a lot more reasonable part of our lives.

I know people who start gambling in the first place take gambling as entertainment.  There is. They don't even know when they become addicted to gambling. We all should take gambling as entertainment. Gambling can never become addiction

When a person gambles he mainly gambles for entertainment but at some point in gambling for this entertainment he becomes addicted to gambling. If he wants to get out of gambling addiction, he can't get out of gambling addiction even if he wants to. Undoubtedly, gambling addiction is a bad side that slowly leads people to danger.  A gambling addict cannot fulfill his family responsibilities properly, he becomes so addicted to gambling that he forgets to fulfill his sense of responsibility towards his family, so just as a person shows irresponsibility towards his family, he has no sense of responsibility in his personal life. The addiction of winning puts people's lives in constant danger. So it is ok to gamble for entertainment but it is not ok for someone to become addicted to gambling for this entertainment as it will put both his family in danger.

Playing gambling also hurting your finances and makes you lose all you have. Your losses will be bigger if you don't realizes and that can makes you don't have money to fills your daily needs. Gambling is bad if you can treat it as an entertainment and that will also ruins society if they still playing gambling just to chase the wins. When we lose in gambling, we must understand that we will difficult to gets it back because gambling will not allows you gets your money easily and even gambling will takes more money that you have.

Gambling is only for entertainment and you should knows that you don't have to use much money even spends all of your money. When gambling is bad for someone, that can also be bad for society if they use gambling excessively or just to makes money. They must realizes about that to prevents their losses becomes bigger.

It is a vice basically. Similar to alcohol, and other drugs.

It gives people a feel good moment in the present in exchange of a worse future.

Every person should control themselves and use gambling whenever they see fit, which could be potentially never. Every person has their own limits.

It's the same with alcohol, some people never drink, others drink occasionally, and others are addicted to it.

The exact same thing happens with gambling.

So, yeah, overall things like alcohol, gambling, etc, can be seen as a negative on society, but of course they also bring positive feelings in the present. Otherwise if it was only negative then no one would do it.

[RockBell]

usually in eastern countries, gambling is considered very bad and is definitely labeled negatively by society, but unlike western countries, there gambling is not considered bad, so gambling is bad for society depending on where the area is

gambling for some people has different understanding and treatment, there are those who consider gambling entertainment, a way to make money and a way to get rid of addiction, and it cannot be denied that the turnover of gambling money is very large, so in countries where gambling is legal, gambling is not bad for society

Even in Eastern countries, there will still be people who will not really care what people say about their gambling habit and they feel that is their way out of poverty i might not been have been their but you see a lot playing lotto and try out other means to just get money and instead of them to try more productive means they will go and gamble. western countries are worst they gamble without conscience. and that is why they have more physical casinos because it is something they enjoy. and having casinos their is a very good investment. am not sure if they have have physical casinos like eastern part. like in my country religion goes against gambling but do people really care now or they want is how they can make money. people see gambling in a different perspective and they do according to what they belief and that is why you see people gambling everyday it is not because of anything but because of what they believed and they see it as a way out and it is not everyone that will get lucky with gambling but people still don't want to accept that. and once they are addicted their is nothing that can be done except they give them external help.

The gambling industry is considered one of the important industries that contribute significantly to supporting the economy and stimulating economic growth. It provides employments for many people by providing job opportunities which contributes to reducing unemployment rates and increasing the income level in society. It also increases government revenues through taxes imposed on this industry. Also, the gambling sector contributes to stimulating tourism and attracting more tourists who prefer gambling as a means of entertainment. Increasing the number of tourists can contribute to increasing tourism revenues and boosting the economy in general.

In addition, Gambling is a source of entertainment for many people, as they find it an opportunity to relax and have fun. Games and betting play a role in stimulating feelings of pleasure and excitement.

Of course, all these indicators do not negate the reality of the negative effects of gambling on the individual and society. We are not in the business of comparing the negatives and positives within this discussion.

Despite all the points you have mentioned, how do you think such a society would be doing financially? We know that gambling isn't a way for anyone to earn money, you may win sometimes but you will lose most of the time, and when you are constantly losing money and not having any job or source of income, how do you live or sustain a livelihood? How would people feed themselves and their family members in such a society?

This can only be hypothetical because in practical life, a whole society can't be irresponsible and only irresponsible people can be like that where they keep gambling and do nothing else, their family suffer because of them being lazy and not having any source of income and spending anything they have on gambling.

there are many characters who do this, I don't know if they are irresponsible or just addicted to the game, as a person who plays I think it is irresponsible to play with a family at home waiting for you, waiting for you and maybe the money to support them even on having children and not giving them anything to eat because you have to play breaks my heart to think that there is someone who can do something like this, I repeat the game is beautiful if done responsibly and not done in a reckless manner

That depends which society as we have different society, even if that is in one city. If someone only use gambling to earn money while he doesn't have any job or source of income, he will only in trouble without have a big chance to earn that money. We don't knows how those people feed themselves and their family in such a society because we are not close to that society. But they will have their way to do that and also playing gambling but that will not be a good idea for them as they may lose all of their money and that will makes them in a big trouble.

Society can't irresponsible of what happens to people in those society but they can remind each other not to playing gambling too often. If they can always reminds each other, that will helps them to remember that playing gambling moderately will be better for them.

When gambling, you should not overdo it, just use a budget that is not too excessive. In my opinion, they are not only concerned with winning, usually they continue to play to catch up on the losses they experienced previously.

It is still the same thing of saying that they are mainly after winning, because we know that gambling should be done do fun so that we don't overdo it and also be able to use an amount of money that will not make us chase or losses. If you don't win, you will not recover your loss. So winning is the primary agenda that leads to loss chasing. If you are a responsible gambler, you will consider losing too as part of the game, and that will make you to be careful in order you not gamble with big amount of money, so that if you loss your bet, you don't chase your losses.
