Is gambling bad to the society?

[Sakanwa]

This is no longer what should be asking because there is no job anywhere,the goverment are not trying,they aren't providing enough jobs for their citizens,they relax and allow their citizens to suffer,and this is really appauling.imagine if they should ban betting now,what will youths do? How will most person's survive,or they want everybody to go back to the street and hustle.I can now say that gambling is good for the society because sometimes when things look rough,gamble is the only thing you can turn your attentions to,and it might deliver,if it's your day to smile,then definitely, gamble will be there for you.

A gambling addict certainly cannot hold his own position in the society as society always looks at him differently. A gambling addict never tries to realize that five people are criticizing him or reacting badly to him. An addicted person is always focused on gambling and does not even consider the money he is constantly losing. Gambling destroys people's lives just as terminal cancer takes its place in the human body and slowly leads to death, just like gambling destroys people's lives slowly.

Gambling always had bad publicity in the society. It's not new that gamblers are being seen as outlaws in some part of civilized world. While the problem to this issue is attributed to what you just mentioned above. It's clear that not everybody is aware of the nice aspects of gambling because this has been clouded by the bad doings it has caused to people. Hence in the society most players undergo the trauma of how people see them in the society because they wagger money in casinos. This stigma actually adds to the problem of gamblers which causes the gambling bad publicity revolving in the society.

It is true that someone who gambles in the community will be viewed badly because basically many people reject this gambling activity if it is carried out in their village.
Gambling which has a negative value, namely it will make someone's life miserable, so it is not easy for this gambling activity to be accepted in the community, it is clear that it will worsen someone's life and the consequences of this gambling activity can cause bad behavior that will emerge from the gambler.
For example, if the gambler often experiences defeat, it is certain that he loses a lot of money there and what will he do? he will try to borrow money everywhere and there are also those who commit crimes such as stealing.
From the conclusion above, it is clear that gambling in the eyes of the community has a very negative value and if someone is determined to do it and is found out by other people, the person may often get negative criticism, if you want to keep gambling, it is better to just hide your activities.

Yups and I think the bad stigma that society has towards gambling is no longer strange to hear, and this bad perspective is created due to the actions of gamblers who try to treat gambling in the wrong way which endangers themselves and ultimately experiences many bad impacts and This downturn is known by the public which ultimately makes gambling look very bad in the eyes of the majority of society. I think almost everyone is familiar with the saying that "1000 good deeds will be forgotten with 1 mistake", meaning that although in gambling there are some positive elements that can be useful such as entertaining someone when they are having boring free time with no aim of earning and gambling is full of limits but still, when people find out that they are involved in gambling then of course they will be claimed as someone who has a bad personality because they are involved in gambling. Simply put, whoever you are and even though you gamble responsibly, you still won't be able to escape the bad stigma when society knows this, and this stigma can damage a person's social relationships.

However all of those problems can be avoided by doing something incredibly simple, which is to keep quiet about your gambling habit, after all as long as you are in control of it, no one else but you has any need to know what you do with your free time.

Now, I know that for the people of today I may be asking too much from them, as now people are so used to share everything online, that the concept of privacy is being lost on them, but they have to learn that there are a few things that should not be shared, and at least to me if a person can be severely affected by the decision and opinions of others, then they need to keep their gambling a secret.

What? You are talking like it's one of the solutions if someone has a problem financially. No, I don't think so. Yes, when it comes to jobs or you are employed in the gambling casino but when you are the one betting, I don't think you should be thinking about it as a means to make money. It's one path that will doom your financial budget.

"It might deliver." "Might." There's no assurance in gambling. A job will give you money through efforts and hard work while gambling is risking your money and leaving it all with chance or luck. I don't think that's a good idea for someone who is jobless, it would be better to use what money is left to look for ways to add more and not to take the high risk.

[junder]

Yes, that's right, because the actions we take will certainly lead and produce something, we need to pay attention to this because if we do something with the wrong steps or without thinking about it, the results might be bad for us. I agree with you, maturity of thought is one of the things that must be done, because that will determine what kind of results we will produce in the future. Usually people who have gambled or are currently gambling, they cannot think clearly until they make mistakes because they were not considered first. With the many cases of loss that occur, perhaps it is one of the results of actions or things that were done without considering it first.

I think that many gamblers lose money beyond their capabilities, because they don't have good thinking or don't have good maturity so they can't accept the losses that occur, which ultimately makes them trapped in gambling and it's difficult to get out. By getting trapped in a gambling addiction slowly and over time they will see bad changes and can harm other people.

Its not just about the money you lose, its the bad decisions, the chasing losses, the lies you tell yourself and others. Its a slippery slope. The occasional few dollars add up to a lot before you realise it. You're not just losing your shirt, you're losing your dignity, your relationships, your life. People must so be educated. They need to learn how to gamble logically, how to set boundaries, and how to quit when ahead. We must demonstrate to them the dangers the psychological traps, the addiction that can destroy lives.

It must be made plain that gambling is not a solution or a fast route to wealth. Pure and straightforward entertainment is what it is. And you have to appreciate it in moderation, much as any other kind of entertainment. Never forget, folks: be intelligent, disciplined, and most importantly, be in control. Dont let gambling control you.

Indeed, because the attraction of gambling is strong, it can make many people who gamble spend a lot of money, consciously and unconsciously. because when they gamble, of course a feeling of addiction will arise and if they cannot control themselves then they will experience it and will also indulge in it. It's true what you said, when they put in too much money, of course not only money will be lost, but relationships and dignity can also be lost because of excessive gambling. maybe they should be able to improve themselves with the gambling they do, don't let the gambling they do make them miserable in the future. There are not many people who gamble intelligently, but they are fine with gambling even though they lose the money they have. that's at stake.

I agree with what you say, it must be emphasized that gambling is not something or a solution to get rich quickly and is not a means of making money for sure, by emphasizing to them perhaps gamblers will limit their gambling activities by not doing it beyond their means. Whatever the outcome of gambling, don't make the wrong move, when you lose, stop and go to rest, and when you win, withdraw your winnings and go to enjoy the win.

[noormcs5]

Gambling is hurtful when you go beyond your limit and it's because we see it as an place to make money, when you see it as a place to have fun and money, you wouldn't think about the money all the time and the thoughts of exceeding your limit will never cross your mind. However, generally few people makes money frkm gambling if we want to be honest with ourselves, the rest makes nothing but loss all the time and yet they never give up.

Well, isn't this fact harmful for an individual who gambles without risk management and loses his portfolio? Who is the victim in this case?
It is the gambler himself who did not know how to manage his portfolio. So this does not mean that gambling is bad to the society. It is individual negligence that it is bad to person to person.

We may come across many gamblers who may not lose much about they are having their rules and regulations set, when they play and gamble. Others may be winning jackpots and changing their fortune. If we ask from them, they will never say bad about gambling.
I think it depends upon a person to person basis as how he treats gambling and his approach towards the gambling may make gambling good or bad for him.

[bettercrypto]

Here in our country, there is a lotto charity program held by our government that provides assistance to poor people who cannot afford to pay a large amount to the hospital.
That's why there are many lottery outlets where, always, the more people bet on the lotto, it also helps people who believe that fate will also favor them by betting on the lotto.

So this kind of gambling outlet like this, I don't think I can say is bad because it helps the uncapable to pay the hospital bills due to poverty or loss of life.

[EarnOnVictor]

But when a gambler engages in irresponsible gambling he will see it not as a joy but as a bane of his life. An addicted gambler or an irresponsible gambler will not be viewed favorably by society. Because today or tomorrow society will be damaged by him. However, we cannot blame for gamble as a gambler's behavior is entirely personal. By conducting responsible gambling on one will never be affected by the negative effects of gambling.

Being addicted or irresponsible gambler doesn’t mean you can harm the society unless the gambler does an action that affects the community then this is true. Some of the addicted gambler usually just play on their own silently since they spend most of their time in the casino instead of joining to do the society.

I believe the close family is the one will be affected financially if ever the gambler is using the money intended for his family but that’s not always the case so let’s stop generalizing an addicted is harmful to everyone.

Nice one! Now, let's view it from a standpoint, if gambling is so evil to the point that it will be very evil/negative to society to the extent of causing harm to people who are not even gambling through those who are gambling, do you think the government will be this silent about it, especially if it has now become an epidemy in the country? In this situation, if care is not even taken, gambling would be abolished in the country, just like the government is fighting drugs which could cause others who are not even taking them to be harmed due to the drugs' influence on those who are taking them. But the situation is not so right now, which technically means that gambling is not as bad as people are taking it, if not for the irresponsible acts (in finances) associated with gamblers.

Also, look around you, how many people have been harmed by gambling addicts just because such addicts want to gamble? Being bad and doing all sorts of evil is human and is a different ballgame and it is in the nature of the person personally whether he gambles or not. Even if such will use part of the evil proceeds to gamble, how many more things will the person use it for aside from gambling? There will be many of course, so this is not about gambling itself but a bad human being. This is applicable to whether he is even addicted to the extent of robbing, for example, and using part of it to gamble, which is the only risk I see here. But note that desperation can push anyone to do an unspeakable thing but no one has the right to do evil things no matter the reason. A good mind will always counter evil thoughts and opt for a good alternative, so it is not gambling that should be blamed but that evil soul itself.

their is nothing the government will do about it, why because if they can look very clearly and the advantage of it to the society. They have to be silent towards it cause most of the youth's are testify towards how gambling is helping in the society were  we are today,  and it's not everyone who's addicted to it and they know the difference between a drugs addict and a gambler addict. So only thing they can do it's for them to put a restriction towards all gambling sites in the world that could also help out in some other ways, but if they think of taking any other strong step towards anything concerning gambling. They won't have more incomes coming in to the economy system so gambling have a good purpose in this world and to the society, but it also have an effects as other things do have as well.

Are you kidding me right now? Can you beat your chest that most youths give positive testimonies about gambling? That must be a misrepresentation of fact, and if that is true, indeed by now, people would have been sorry for casinos and sportsbooks because it is from their pockets such monies would be made. But look around you, who is prospering in the business and opening more branches? It is obvious that it is the house, they will always have the edge unless you are not just being sincere about the whole thing.

Also, in case you didn't read it correctly, as gambling is being practised now, there is no cause for alarm for the government to intervene harshly. But had it been it is so bad and suicidal and dangerous to society like drugs, my friend, there is nothing going to stop the government from treating the same way. That was the gist, and I said that because of the guy who was relating it to the danger like drugs, of which the two are different things.

Mind you, the government is more powerful than you thought, if anything is considered dangerous, they will clamp down on it and make it illegal under their law in the shortest possible time. It has happened in my country where Codeine and a drug (I've forgotten the second name) was banned. These were drugs that were legal for ages, but oh, boy, it became a criminal offence immediately, and now, many are serving their jail terms because of it. So whether you like it or not, the government/law is supreme. Fortunately, gambling is not near all those.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Gambling can't promise to make you rich, it's a way to entertain ourselves with an incentives if you are lucky. However the possiblity of becoming addicted due to wrong approach and treatment are the few reasons why our society had a bad impression towards it.

This is very true, gambling does not make you rich, I see gambling as a business, or rather like trading, only in trading and business if one makes a mistake it is because of our own, and it is not the system, instead of almost nothing, things are different because luck is the fundamental factor in all this, and to win you have to be very lucky, I say that it is a business because I believe that if one obtains short profits, from few profits one can save them until reaching a large amount, of course this in the very long term, because if we strive to do something like that crazy we would not be able to do something well, but rather decapitalize ourselves.

[AnonBitCoiner]

Gambling is generally very harmful to an individual, because if a gambler participates in gambling, he is doing wrong from the society's point of view. Because a gambler is an abomination in the eyes of society, and among them if he becomes addicted again becomes the worst cause. As you can see, a gambling addict can never contribute to society. And a threat to the family, he tries to make gambling losses more than what he normally earns. That is why he is identified as a bad person in the eyes of the society.

Gambler is considered as a harmful individual for a society because gambler does not give any advantage to the society but it puts adverse effects on the people of society. Gambler just lost money due to which he remains empty handed and eventually he starts to do wrong deads which are neither good for him nor for a society.

First of all gamblers start to utilize the money of his family members and if they stop to give them money then they are so addictive that they cannot leave gambling but start to accumulate money from the individuals of a society by adopting wrong strategies so this can create stressful situations in a society.

[Dewi Aries]

Yups and I think the bad stigma that society has towards gambling is no longer strange to hear, and this bad perspective is created due to the actions of gamblers who try to treat gambling in the wrong way which endangers themselves and ultimately experiences many bad impacts and This downturn is known by the public which ultimately makes gambling look very bad in the eyes of the majority of society.

Well what you said is one of the effective solutions to do with the aim of avoiding the bad stigma from the majority of society towards yourself who are involved in gambling, regardless of whether you are an addicted gambler or not when you decide to hide your gambling activities or habits from others then yes of course maybe you will avoid the bad stigma and some criticism from others.

Although the idea of hiding or keeping a secret is quite an effective idea to do especially to avoid bad stigma from society but sometimes in my opinion if someone is already at the level of addiction with a fairly chronic level then over time of course society will also put suspicion on that person because as we know that the impact of chronic addiction can be very bad which may indirectly people around you will see about the difficulties of gambling. people around you will see about the economic difficulties you experience with your family and usually it is known and suspected when someone sells various belongings such as vehicles or whatever it is which can also be a concern of the community, especially the closest neighbors.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

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?

And on the contrary, do you also know that gambling can also boast self esteem, physical and mental health, and general relationship with people both in your immediate family and the community at large, do you? Because the answer is YES, hence, inasmuch as gambling has a negative side, let's not forget that it also has a positive side too, of which I'm a a direct witness to what I'm saying, because their is this guy around my area who was a consistent gambler and a nobody, not until 1st June 2024, after his last sport betting combo between Dortmund vs Real Madrid played just as he predicted (i.e Real Madrid to win) and ended up winning over #28million Naira, which is equivalent to $20,000, and since then he has been living his best life and now currently planning to get marry and building a house, which would have never been possible if not for gambling.
So in conclusion, just as everything has both negative and positive side, let's not always focus on the negative side of gambling, but let's also try to appreciate the fact that it also has a positive side, while we advice people to gamble responsibly.

[Accardo]

It is true that someone who gambles in the community will be viewed badly because basically many people reject this gambling activity if it is carried out in their village.
Gambling which has a negative value, namely it will make someone's life miserable, so it is not easy for this gambling activity to be accepted in the community, it is clear that it will worsen someone's life and the consequences of this gambling activity can cause bad behavior that will emerge from the gambler.
For example, if the gambler often experiences defeat, it is certain that he loses a lot of money there and what will he do? he will try to borrow money everywhere and there are also those who commit crimes such as stealing.
From the conclusion above, it is clear that gambling in the eyes of the community has a very negative value and if someone is determined to do it and is found out by other people, the person may often get negative criticism, if you want to keep gambling, it is better to just hide your activities.

Hiding the activity is one nice practice, with disadvantages as usual. However, when gambling responsibly cannot surpass compulsive gambling, the society will still cause discomfort on a gambler, whether he hides or players openly. The sad expression is by all corners and affects the success a long way for new players. Most of them already fail because everyone around them failed in gambling. They see it as a usual occurrence with less or no solution. And many gamblers in the category of players who add bad publicity in the society think of experts as some magicians who can win on any wager they make in the casino. The wrong thoughts people have about gambling won't be changed anytime soon.

[synchronym]

I completely would agree with you, gambling is not bad for the society, already many sees it as a fun fact to engage in but yet their are those who also abuse it by making it their source of income or getting addicted that ends up draining every penny they have, some might even end up selling off their properties while some will also take loans just to quench their taste for gambling and this has brought about the bad opposition from the society.

Since there are people who do everything that you said then gambling might be bad for the society because all this things are not good for the progress of the society. There are many people abusing gambling and this is not good because this are still the people that stay in the society and they can make the society not to be safe because after gambling all their money, they might end up going to steal and make their society not to be safe which will make investors to stay away from the society because they know that their business will not make sales in a society that is not peaceful and full of crimes. Gambling has alot of negative effects on the society because gambling does more harm to the people gambling tham it will help them as alot of people are only gambling because they want to make money.

There are no good without evil. Everything to do has the positive and negative side of it and it depends on us to choose a side. Gambling cannot be completely bad to the society since there are no literal effect of it. It is the people who gamble that choose to allow it affect them due to there bad habits in gambling. Once the addiction increases and they become irresponsible gamblers that's when their response to things start affecting them and there loved ones including there families.

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.

When a gambler gambles on a person's gimmicks and if he can somehow win money once he gambles on gimmicks, he becomes so addicted to gambling that he thinks he can always make money by gambling. But once he wins money and gambles, his confidence doubles up. He gambles twice as much, bets twice as much, gambles twice as much, loses twice as much and returns home empty-handed. So this kind of gambling addiction is not right for anyone. Because gambling addiction leads a person to destruction one by one, everyone should refrain from gambling addiction. A gambling addict becomes so addicted to gambling that he cannot manage his family properly. There is constant chaos in the world so only his family members can understand well how dangerous a gambling addict is to his family.

[madnessteat]

Gambler is considered as a harmful individual for a society because gambler does not give any advantage to the society but it puts adverse effects on the people of society. Gambler just lost money due to which he remains empty handed and eventually he starts to do wrong deads which are neither good for him nor for a society.

First of all gamblers start to utilize the money of his family members and if they stop to give them money then they are so addictive that they cannot leave gambling but start to accumulate money from the individuals of a society by adopting wrong strategies so this can create stressful situations in a society.

It is true that most people who gamble, they have done things that can harm themselves and will also have a negative impact on the environment around them if they have become addicted to gambling and for those who have the desire to gamble and do not have the money to gamble, they will certainly carry out actions that are detrimental to society. Those who try to use their family members' money for gambling will of course really disrupt their relationships because they may not be able to pay it back and they may not even be able to pay off the money they have borrowed.

As I have said more than once, you need to divide gamblers into responsible and irresponsible. If we take into account what you are talking about, it applies only to irresponsible people, and such people even if they do not gamble can bring problems to society. In my opinion, each case should be considered separately, and not to say that gambling has a negative impact on society. I gamble most of my life and I am 100% sure that my actions have not caused anyone any problems.

[ethereumhunter]

When a gambler gambles on a person's gimmicks and if he can somehow win money once he gambles on gimmicks, he becomes so addicted to gambling that he thinks he can always make money by gambling. But once he wins money and gambles, his confidence doubles up. He gambles twice as much, bets twice as much, gambles twice as much, loses twice as much and returns home empty-handed.

A gambling addict becomes so addicted to gambling that he cannot manage his family properly. There is constant chaos in the world so only his family members can understand well how dangerous a gambling addict is to his family.

Gambling addiction is only gives a bad effect to anyone, not just for society so people who wants to playing gambling must knows the risks and how to control themselves. They must avoids becoming addicted to gambling by learn about limitation and controlling themselves. Although not many gamblers succeed have many things to prevents themselves becomes addicted to gambling, they must still trying to have that things because that's the only things that they must have to avoids addicted to gambling.

Getting gambling addiction can effect to their family and not just themselves. They can ruins family relationships when they becomes addicted to gambling so they must be careful when playing gambling. If they can have limitation and other things to avoids the addiction, they will not have to worry if they will becomes addicted to gambling because they can holds themselves from that matters.

[Bitcoinsummoner]

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 is not bad for society, it's just like most other things in life - when it is done in moderation there is no problem. However when people take it too far, start playing every day and get such tunnel vision that they spend all their money on it - that is bad. However the same can be said for other things people do to relax and unwind, like drinking or consuming drugs like cannabis which is becoming increasingly legal. There should be education to all people and effective self exclusion from gambling sites, but that works best with a global program which should be the aim of all governments to work out.

Agreed! Gambling is bad for society when men and women are deeply engaged in gambling. Addiction is a harmful act for society with a gambler's life when people take gambling to earn a lot of money. It's not a fair way to rich overnight. A Gambling addict people are ignored by family, society, and culture. They're ashamed of society for their thinner activity. Everyone needs to know, "How they have come back from a deep addiction to Gambling?"

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I completely would agree with you, gambling is not bad for the society, already many sees it as a fun fact to engage in but yet their are those who also abuse it by making it their source of income or getting addicted that ends up draining every penny they have, some might even end up selling off their properties while some will also take loans just to quench their taste for gambling and this has brought about the bad opposition from the society.

There are many people abusing gambling and this is not good because this are still the people that stay in the society and they can make the society not to be safe because after gambling all their money, they might end up going to steal and make their society not to be safe which will make investors to stay away from the society because they know that their business will not make sales in a society that is not peaceful and full of crimes. Gambling has alot of negative effects on the society because gambling does more harm to the people gambling tham it will help them as alot of people are only gambling because they want to make money.

There are no good without evil. Everything to do has the positive and negative side of it and it depends on us to choose a side. Gambling cannot be completely bad to the society since there are no literal effect of it. It is the people who gamble that choose to allow it affect them due to there bad habits in gambling. Once the addiction increases and they become irresponsible gamblers that's when their response to things start affecting them and there loved ones including there families.

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.

Actually well said my friend and infact it's just that even as people still complain about gambling having a two sided face as humans the negative side will always be the one reflecting more because we are prone to always promoting or getting the best side out of the negative than the positive and that's why no matter how people complain or advice on how gambling can you easily addicted and the ways to go about it so that you won't fall under that group, many people will still fall victim of that side advice and that's just what holds the faith of gambling being seen as negative to the society.

Exactly, your points are good. The reason why some people see gambling as a bad thing in the society is because of how some addicted gambler have made gambling look bad in the eyes of others due to their addiction attitude. If gambling was really that bad in the society, then it would have been banned worldwide.

Without excluding the fact that gambling can help someone to earn profits, gambling is for fun and not to be fully handled as a source of income, it is the majority of people that handle gambling as a source of income that end up losing their senses and become compulsive gamblers.

Yes the problem is always about the stigma that society has, and in this situation no matter if for example you are a responsible gambler who can manage and control your gambling activities well but it does not mean that it is impossible that in the end people around you or society may still claim that you are someone who has a bad personality as a result of being involved in gambling, And it's true as you said that the bad viewpoint that the community has is formed due to the actions of addicted gamblers who treat gambling in an unreasonable way so that the downturn they experience is increasingly spread and known to the surrounding community.

Actually gambling is not always a bad or impactful activity, depending on how one treats it, and I would say that it is about choice, if you choose to gamble occasionally and just for fun without putting any seriousness and expectations then yes maybe you will avoid the bad impact, but if the opposite then yes of course you will end up with addiction which is a bad impact is a sure thing. But as I said above that even if you have good intentions and goals then it does not mean that you can be free from the bad stigma of society, and I did not find another solution other than hiding your gambling activities. Another thing that is unfortunate is that not everyone can use their common sense well to understand and realize that gambling is a risky activity that can never be used as a place to make a living.
