Is gambling bad to the society?

[madnessteat]

I have seen people hate gamblers mostly from rural based people. Village and city cultures are different. Most of the people in the village are simple and want to earn money in a simple way by working hard. So they don't want to prioritize gambling and not even gamblers.

I also think that gambling is a bad thing because people are more likely to be harmed by it. People should avoid the temptation to earn money from gambling and focus on earning money by working hard or doing jobs. People may become addicted to gambling by sitting idly and hoping for more greed. Gambling addicts become a bane to the family for which they are hated by every member of the family. If we gamble then it would be reasonable for us to play it for fun and not as an addiction.

In my opinion you make hasty conclusions about gambling and gamblers. After all, there are enough educated and responsible people in the world who play gambling not to get rich, but to have fun. If someone does not know how to control himself during gambling is not a reason to say that gambling is bad. In fact, it is bad when a person has no understanding that gambling is entertainment, not easy money and insufficient education to analyze their actions and draw conclusions.

Gambling is not bad for the society,it is good because we all need it to double our income,we need it in times that we are really broke.If they ask someone to tell the importance of gambling,he will be unable to say it be because he is not into gambling.
A poor man won millions of naira in this part of the country,after gambling for so many years without serious win,now God had answered his prayers and he has taken his family away to a place where they will be comfortable.So in which ever way we see it,that it's gambling who has a way to affecting our society positively.

He sounds like because people are addicted to alcohol, alcohol is really bad to the society, there people that drink and do it moderately and there people that do it until they get intoxicated, gambling isn't different from the way alcohol is addicted to people. Anyone can quit alcohol because he thinks it will affect him, the same can go for gambling, it's all about control because you can't say having solo time in gambling is bad, if it's there wouldn't be gambling today because it will be completely ban.

By the way, what's is bad to you might be good to another person but I think government regulates gambling and they all get paid from the revenue generate from you and casino, no matter how much casino pay the government, if it's bad for the society they wouldn't license a single casino and other gambling platforms to offer service for the people.

Each person would really be having that different approach when it comes to things on which there are indeed who do play gambling for the sake of fun and there are ones who do tend to make money most out of it on which this is something that will really be that very normal to have in between parties. Outcomes and results would really be that different to each other because to those who are really that chasing up profits on their most
desperate decisions will really be that leading into such huge disaster into their lives. If they arent really that good when it comes on handling their finances then they would really be ending up on sleeping on the streets.
This is why as much as possible, you should really be that careful on how you would really be spending up your money.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible then there would really be no issues or problems that you would really be able to encounter. It is really just that people do become that impulsive
and become that irresponsible on the moment that they would really be tending to chase up their loses or on the moment that they become greedy on winning situations.
On the moment that you have become that greedy and out of control then this is where shit do really happens.

[Onyeeze]

Gambling can only affect you when you take gambling very serious because it is a desperation in gambling that the make someone to be addicted and gambling and the many people today who is having issues due to their participating in gambling with their loved ones it is as a result of being addicted in gambling that makes or bring the issue to any relationship a serious minded gambler, but from my own understanding it can be controllable when you have a statistics of what you Gambling weekly or monthly and also know your ability of receiving  income monthly or weekly I don't that you will be much influenced or carried away with gambling.

[bettercrypto]

In reality, everything OP mentioned is correct; gambling only becomes bad when it causes bad results in the state of life of a gambler. Here in our country, gambling often causes the destruction of families, relationships with friends, and doing bad things like stealing and getting into debt.

This is what often happens when gambling becomes a tool in the bad use of a gambler's personality. Those who didn't gamble before, when they learned to gamble, suddenly changed their character. Things like this happen often.

I want to say something on this point, there are some addicted gamblers in my society who rob the streets to manage gambling money and drug money. Rich and noble gamblers are not mainly involved in all these activities but only the intoxicated and poor gamblers are involved in these heinous acts like theft, robbery and kidnapping. For just one class of addicted gamblers, such a system has a negative effect. Not only in my country but in different countries of the world, generally poor and addicted gamblers have a bad effect on such society.

That's right, winning at gambling is tempting, it's just that if they are too serious about thinking about winning at gambling it will lead them to careless actions that allow them to become addicted and find it difficult to get out until in the end they become addicted and can have a bad impact on themselves. themselves or others such as family or loved ones. It's not surprising that many people have problems when they get to know and do gambling, and this is caused by them themselves, who have made a complete mistake in carrying out and deciding on the actions applied to gambling.
If they consider all the actions they take well, maybe they won't experience many bad problems or negative impacts. We should gamble according to our abilities, because when the gambling we do is beyond our limits, bad impacts and problems are no longer strange if they occur. Many people experience problems and bad effects because they gamble beyond their means, it can be seen from the frequency with which they gamble and from the perspective of their budget which does not match the income or earnings they get, this is because they are too serious about thinking about gambling so they can put a lot of money into gambling but that only makes them lose more money, maybe they can win occasionally but the winnings won't be much.

Now I remember again our neighbor whose relationship with his family got affected just because of his addiction to gambling.
It isn't only his addiction to gambling that's the reason, but he's also addicted to liquor and cigarettes as well. On the other hand, he doesn't want to work, and he's just begging.

Anyway, gambling is the root cause why it happened for him, and I'm pretty sure that there are many who saw or experienced the same as well. I've also watched some YouTube documentaries regarding gamblers who got addicted to gambling as well, and luckily, they got out of it. It affected their family, it affected them financially, and it affected them mentally as well that some even experienced depression. In general, gambling is bad "ONLY" if you are gambling too much, and spending too much, but if you're only spending a few bucks, and you are okay if you lose it then there's no bad effects of it to you.

I am always very sad to hear that families are fighting because of gambling addiction, especially when there are children in these families.
The fact is that I know many families who are biologically unable to have children, but dream of them. And such people are very decent, they keep themselves in control, and do not have bad habits. But fate turns out that many addict gambler's have children whom they do not appreciate at all. And it's terrible.
Therefore, I think that all of us should appreciate what we have: our relationship with our relatives. And you need to have self-control over your habits.

You would really be that ending up on this condition if you wont really be that making yourself be careful into the moment that you would really be that tolerating such addiction.On the moment
that you will really be having that kind of approach towards gambling then you would really be definitely be messing up yourself with it. Gambling isnt literally bad, it is really just that the only bad thing is into those people who do have that bad approach towards it will really be ending up on having that kind of disaster. This is why it would be important that you should be having those realizations that it isnt really that something that built for making some income or making money but rather it is really just that good for the sake of having fun and not the other way around.

If we do talk into the bigger perspective on how things works and on its benefits in terms of economical aspect then we do know that this is really that generating that huge revenue
and this is why it wont really be shocking that government wont really be just that easily be trying to remove it out not unless if theyve seen that gambling
addiction isnt something that cant be controlled or already that on the rooftop.

Yes, children are never to blame for what adults do. I do not understand: how can you even become a player with a strong addiction when there is a child in the family of such a player?
Such a gambler should feel fully responsible for his child, and therefore should not gamble at all. Being a parent is a special status, and even if he has a difficult job, he does not have the right to choose a casino as his hobby, just in order to relieve accumulated stress. You need to take a responsible approach to your life, because the fate of the child depends on it.

for some reason, it is those who people want kids the most are the people not blessed with kids and people who are undeserving of kids are usually the ones given kids,

life is a bit unfair like that

But fate turns out that many addict gambler's have children whom they do not appreciate at all. And it's terrible.

i don't think they appreciate anyone or anything at all once they are way in too deep into addiction of any kind but specifically gambling where all they care about is winning and winning money that is.

Therefore, I think that all of us should appreciate what we have: our relationship with our relatives. And you need to have self-control over your habits.

they can definitely help you prevent being addicted or get you healed a strong support system is always needed in such cases

Children can't be blame because they don't know anything about gambling but they can becomes curious with gambling if they see many adults people or even their friends playing gambling. If someone becomes addicted to gambling while he have children in his family, that children can see that playing gambling is okay but that truth is not okay because children can follows behind that person to playing gambling.

Soon after children playing gambling, they will find an excitement from gambling and that can makes them difficult to leave gambling. It needs awareness from the society not to playing gambling in front of their children because that can gives a bad effect to their children. We can not imagine how if that society playing gambling together in front of children. That can makes children thinks that they can playing gambling too but they will not thinks about the risks that can happens to them.

Or opposite might happen. Children might see other gamble, and never get interest in such activity. You can never know what will happen. And you should not make future plans built on "might get" factor. We see alcohol ads on the billboards, TV, parents drink alcohol on every party or event. I havent noticed that every kid is an alcoholic now.

Again people fantasize that childrens dream is to find out that adults gamble, watch they do it and become addicted. Cant wait when adults stop seeing children addiction in every action children see. Why people are not against toys manufacturers, that create gun toys? From your logic, when a kid see an action movie and plays with his guns, he will become a serial killer. Why do kids play with toy soldiers then? That is army. Army = guns = killing = addicted to violence/killing.

Gambling should never be given so much importance as people's human rights. Gambling should be considered as a normal game like any other game. If gambling results affect you, you should still gamble with caution. In case of gambling, if the outcome goes in our favor, we gamble with motivation and if the outcome of the gambling goes against us, we gamble with more money to recover our losses. The point here is whether we lose or win we decide to gamble at the end of it all.
I am not speaking against gambling but I am trying to warn a gambler about this so that he can control himself and not get addicted to gambling. A gambler will never suffer much financially if he gambles responsibly so we must be responsible.

[Zigabel]

You need to take a responsible approach to your life, because the fate of the child depends on it.

In as munch as children cannot be blamed for the addiction a gambler, they still cannot be the reason a gambler will not get addicted in some cases, it a thing of personal decisions and discipline especially on the side of the gambler who wants and have decided to do whatever it is that have gotten them to the point where they are at the moment. A gambler who has placed his priorities especially with what maters to them most will know how well to place the importance of his children with his gambling activities and know if he will want to put first the satisfaction of his gambling activities or that of his children or family, he sense of responsibility is something they don't get to force on some one, it has got a whole lot to do with a self decision in that respect. lastly talking about choosing the casino games as not  been a responsible way to relieve your stress is a very wrong perception because its very possible that you can find the actual relieve you desire and need to get from the casino much more than you get from other activities, then it wouldn't be wrong getting to choose that as a hobby provided you are able to make sur to responsibly handle it.

It must be admitted that the majority of gamblers experience this, only some people can gamble responsibly. This fact cannot be denied, which is why gambling is so bad in the eyes of society because the impacts of gambling are very diverse, as the OP mentioned.

There are still many people who use gambling as a source of income so that gambling has a negative impact on society, even though gambling is only for entertainment and seeking pleasure. However, if you cross the line, especially if you have a get-rich-quick mindset, gambling will be detrimental to yourself and even your family.

In my country, online gambling is still illegal, but online gambling players in my country are one of the largest players in the world and the impact of gambling is very negative, so it is not surprising that in my country if you are caught gambling you will be ostracized in society.

[junder]

Gambling is not bad for the society,it is good because we all need it to double our income,we need it in times that we are really broke.If they ask someone to tell the importance of gambling,he will be unable to say it be because he is not into gambling.
A poor man won millions of naira in this part of the country,after gambling for so many years without serious win,now God had answered his prayers and he has taken his family away to a place where they will be comfortable.So in which ever way we see it,that it's gambling who has a way to affecting our society positively.

gambling in general is not bad, but because the aim is to double the money it is certainly wrong because with such a goal it will only make us lose self-control, gambling that is not bad is for the purpose of just entertainment, nothing more than that, but when they If you gamble more than that, of course bad things will happen because it was already wrong in the first place. where they carry out actions with thoughts that can trigger them to become addicted and become addicted, which as a result makes it difficult for them to get out when they are addicted and the bad effects cannot be avoided. Don't think that when we are bankrupt or don't have money, we instead choose gambling as a solution, even though there is a chance of winning, there is no guarantee and even if we are bankrupt, gambling cannot guarantee that it will provide a profitable win that can make us have a lot of money.

As long as you have good self-control, actually gambling is not bad, if someone who is poor then gambles and can get a big win that can change his life, including that of his family, he is truly very lucky. because in my opinion, not everyone can get a big win that can change their life drastically, of course this only happens to those who are really lucky, because even small wins in gambling are generally difficult to get, so many people experience big losses. That's because they force themselves too much to gamble because they want to win even though winning in gambling is based on luck alone. Yes, although there is some gambling that requires skill, that doesn't mean it's free from luck.

I also think that gambling is a bad thing because people are more likely to be harmed by it. People should avoid the temptation to earn money from gambling and focus on earning money by working hard or doing jobs. People may become addicted to gambling by sitting idly and hoping for more greed. Gambling addicts become a bane to the family for which they are hated by every member of the family. If we gamble then it would be reasonable for us to play it for fun and not as an addiction.

In my opinion you make hasty conclusions about gambling and gamblers. After all, there are enough educated and responsible people in the world who play gambling not to get rich, but to have fun. If someone does not know how to control himself during gambling is not a reason to say that gambling is bad. In fact, it is bad when a person has no understanding that gambling is entertainment, not easy money and insufficient education to analyze their actions and draw conclusions.

One thing I've come to understand is that people tend to baby mor on negatives than obvious positives. They'll be fast to mention that gambling destroys people without making those people take responsibilities of their actions, people get addicted to drugs, womanizing, alcoholism and the lots of them, they're blessed for their indulgence and not the alcohol, not did they ban alcohol production in the country.

Gambling has a different fate, as soon as someone gets addicted, the casino is to be blamed and plenty policies and bad names will be implemented to run the casino down, these people are responsible for their misconducts and not the casino, Any gambling addict should be made responsible for his loses, attitude and misconducts. The earlier people understand that, the better they can both prevent and control situations that emanates from gambling addiction.
