Is gambling bad to the society?

[Antotena]

Being addicted to something is very dangerous because without you knowing that thing is indirectly your God and you are by all means a servant of that thing and that's why gambler don't tend to know themselves whenever their master calls them which is the habit they are addicted to and most of them do get all violent when they can't seem to have access to that same cause of the addiction.

Gambling addiction is very bad in the sense that you don't see the joy in gambling anymore. What you see is ways to get money and how to recover from money in gambling, the only thing that matters to you is trying to reach a full potential of making money in gambling and not the fun nor entertainment and the more you gamble for addiction, the more you lose more money continuesly because most time, you even lack the strategy to win games while gambling.

The people that are gambling addicted and sick because of gambling today are the product of what the society produced today. The society idolized money over anything and yet they want to blame another thing for people trying to look for that money the society respected and refused to provide opportunities for the addicted gamblers they are complaining about and if we refused to address these problems in places where there is no job opportunities, the more enabling gambling environments we grow bigger.

Advising any grown man to stay away from gambling is like telling a toddler to not lick a piece of candy, when they already know how good it taste.
Gambling has had an adverse influence on the society at large, but anyway , it's an unavoidable thing for people that make alot of money from it. The sweet thing about it is the idea of wagering with a dollar and winning a hundred or so.
Edit:

Gambling addiction is very bad in the sense that you don't see the joy in gambling anymore. What you see is ways to get money and how to recover from money in gambling[..]

You know how that's gonna end? Well, it doesn't have an end AFAIK.. if you seriously wanna quit, you'd have to look away. One of biggest lessons to learn is to not chase your loses no matter how possible that may look to you.

Normally, Every form of Games can bring about addiction  if there's  no caution taken by the player towards engaging it , gambling is a form of gaming that involves betting so addiction is very possible, to escape addiction same rule is required which is caution towards engagement

Do you know that their is some people who is addicted in gambling but what they have achieved because they addicted to gambling the person that uses calculations to participate in gambling have not ever achieved, our problems is that we always think of negative side of gambling and fail to understand the basics things that have to do with gambling,  so therefore you have to understand that, to be addicted in business is not good? And someone who gambling is a source of generating income will not take chances of be addicted in gambling..what's this addiction means, it simply mean committed and been curious in whatever you are doing. So I have not anything bad of someone be addicted in gambling.

Entertainment is everywhere in the space, we just have to stick to the current findings that sort ourselves and doubts. I often indulge in gambling but it doesn't mean I depend on it for survival, rather I've a good paying job and often anticipate in gambling for fun, nothing more. Gambling becomes a stream of income for the vast majority of gamblers in the space. We've come to realized how gambling have dismantled the life's of most these gamblers, because most of them becomes addicted and we clearly understand the clear picture that follows.

I’m sorry but I strongly disagree with you. You took everything out of context. Addiction is not the same as being committed in business. The key difference between the two is the lack of self control and inability to quit even when you know that thing is affecting you negatively. If you really do not see a problem in gambling addiction, then you really should visit a rehab center or support group meetings for addicted gamblers who are trying to find their way out of addiction. You will hear their stories firsthand and understand just how gambling addiction can ruin lives.

Indeed, gambling is basically a means of entertainment, but many people misunderstand their understanding of gambling. where they forget that, they often gamble as a sure way to make money until they forget that gambling is just a means for entertainment and that's because maybe they are addicted to gambling to the point where they lose consciousness in gambling which makes them have wrong thoughts. against gambling. Even their initial motive for gambling was entertainment, but because they were addicted, their gambling motives were different, but this difference only made them experience problems.
What you say is true, especially in gambling, there is a win that can be obtained if you are lucky and they don't see that the win is like that, they often see that the win is certain to be obtained by gambling. Of course, thinking like that makes them very vulnerable to addiction because their focus is actually endangering themselves.

I am a person who has experienced casino bans in their country, and believe me when this happens, casinos and clandestine betting areas are created where people go and play, bet and everything is normal, all very hidden, and the governments do not want to prosper, no, that is a big lie, it is something that they make us believe, the governments only care about the benefit that they can get, when Something does not suit them, an Activity begins to say all kinds of things like that , to Protect , for something like that, but no, the governments are the ones that make us lose hope , they do not let us earn money and much less have fun.

Even those people experienced bans in their country, they will not stops from playing gambling. They will easily to finds hidden casino so they can keeps playing gambling without anyone knows. The underground casino will still exist and that will not easy to finds the place because people who played on that casino will not share the place to many people and only those who often playing gambling and that's their friends that will knows the place.

The government can still search for that underground place but they will difficult to knows the truth. So that's why the society must prevents if there is their people playing gambling, society must reminds not to closer to gambling because that can makes them in trouble. The government will asks every people in the society to finds the gamblers and a gambler itself can gets addicted to gambling. So when those people from that society wants to use gambling to make money, they will not gets that money easily because they will face many problems that they will difficult to solve.

It is absolutely true that gambling games were created precisely to entertain people and not to ruin their lives. I can't even imagine how generous casinos used to be, before they started suing regulators in an attempt to minimize the number of winnings for gamblers. And unfortunately they did it.

Now in any casino, even very famous and large ones, a player can simply turn off access to the casino site if he is playing slots and his session is positive. It's a shame that casinos have degraded to such a level, and more and more money is being spent on their promotion, and not on giving players more to win.

Still, gambling is much better than any other “entertainment”. There are many bad people who have replaced their addictions with gambling. Therefore, I only see this as a plus. A kind of panacea for a society that has completely lost the meaning of existence or has completely gone off the rails. Let them spend their time this way rather than go and do bad things.

The casino is a kind of outlet and a way to satisfy and measure the dark desires of people. There is no need to deprive them of this. If prohibited or taken away, it will lead to sad consequences.

In the end, it also depends on the person who is gambling because after all, for now we cannot rule it out but on the other hand, almost everyone who is in gambling must feel the same way where when we gamble, it will indeed become a dopamine that makes us like addicted again and again to gambling because in accordance with other discussions where gambling is very unique in terms of the nature that makes us feel like we are missing something if we don't do it.

There are many things about which we feel that are missing them if we don't do them. For example, watching your favourite TV series, meeting your friends, baking a pie ... but are those things bad to the society? No. You can make them bad through some twisted way, like are making gambling bad through overusing it, but the things themselves aren't bad.

The only thing wrong with this is expecting more from gambling as we are now discussing that not a few people think that gambling can make them get a big profit which is of course very regrettable in the end.
We can't deny that most of us who are here are gamblers but the difference is how much self-control we have and everyone's perspective on gambling that makes this different because not a few who are here also consider that gambling is a means to enrich themselves when it is a situation that is naive.

You pretty much said it, indeed, the difference in the ability to make yourself stop the game when you feel you need tho do that.

You will hear their stories firsthand and understand just how gambling addiction can ruin lives.

It's your personal suggestion, yes it's good to disagree with me because it's the way you comprehend it, from your basic way of understanding addiction, what does it mean ordinarily, addiction is something you take over serious in which others will think that you have been carried aways with it, but I'm strongly telling you that their nothing bad to be addicted in aspects of gambling, unless you find it disgusting and unreliable be addicted in gambling, been addicted in anything you're doing doesn't give you room to have mental disorder, because so many of you is seeing it in such perspective which not ideal from my observation...gambling is a choice and gambling consistently is another choice we choose in gambling, but many of you doesn't understand that gambling is luck and your consistent gambling can bring you a Goodluck to win what you have not expected to win.

Consider gambling as a business can only be their owner, because for customers gambling is entertainment for which you have to pay. Any sensible person should realize that no one will not provide you with any services for free and gambling is no exception. Hence it is easy to conclude that in the long run you are likely to lose to a casino or bookmaker's office. By the way, this can also be understood by looking at the maximum return to the player provides a gambling site.

That's the point, we only use entertainment services that must be paid to the casino owner so don't expect you to have high profits because the casino owner wants our money, if we know this point then don't budget high funds for gambling because you can lose funds in betting, so we should gamble only for entertainment and consider the budget only to pay for casino services and do not expect high profits because these opportunities are only obtained when luck comes on certain bets.

The possibility that you can make a big score is still there, which is why gambling attracts so many people. Each of us in the depths of our hearts hope that the next lucky one will be him. But as you rightly noted do not put on gambling great expectations. First of all, it will not only save your mental health when you lose, but also get a real pleasure from winning, which you were not expecting.

Talking about dopamine, does it mean that gambling wouldn't increase dopamine if money wasn't involved?Although the point of gambling would be worthless for not having any reward. Viewing the game as a means of earning or losing money is quite the natural appearance of gambling. And people can't forget it easily. That's why most players always think they'll lose money in gambling. This only makes them want to lose more, because they'll hardly stop a session after experiencing multiple losses. The current form of online gambling can slow down the understanding of gambling for an individual new player. We easily learn from associating with people on same boat with us. Playing all alone makes a player to have limited amount of knowledge or understanding of how gambling work.

But so far gambling is more often used as a choice when they have money to gamble, I understand that someone can still feel entertainment even if for example they don't win, but the opportunity to win in gambling is an additional point to be able to further increase the sensation and dopamine levels in the brain. In fact, as long as you or anyone else is able to treat gambling well based on correct understanding and without exceeding your limits then it won't be a problem, because so far the majority of cases of people who have lost significant amounts of money are those who don't understand. and realize that there is a much greater risk.

Gambling would have been nothing more than a game for kids if money wasn't attached. But, we all thought the entertainment was from the game, but this time money makes gambling entertaining. Despite how simple the slot game is, adults enjoy playing it because of money. People actually get stressed whenever money is involved. That's the thoughts of humans on money.

Players a times get those dopamine in form of a reward for sticking around in a machine for a while. And they are happy for it. More like completing a mission in a video game. I don't think of the type of entertaining trills that could match winning a game. But, players who gamble with friends actually stay entertained even when they've not won.

That's right, and I'm sure that gambling wouldn't be as popular as it is now if there was no money involved in it in the first place, meaning it's quite reasonable to say that one of the things that makes people feel more attracted to gambling is because there is money involved. , even though in fact in gambling everyone has the possibility of losing apart from the chance of winning, but if we talk about money then usually people will focus more on the idea of ​​"chances of winning", and this is what makes gamblers fall into the trap and get carried away completely. unconscious until finally addicted.

They like making money but of course everyone doesn't like losing money, and after all gambling is not only an activity that can give you money for free but can also lose you any amount of money in a short time, and this is why we You really need to have a realistic and neutral point of view, because by having a neutral understanding, I think it is less likely for them to be manipulated by their own expectations. Money is everything, and increasing dopamine levels in the brain is something that happens when someone succeeds in realizing their hopes such as winning, but however that only happens when we are lucky. On the other hand, gambling with friends can be more entertaining, even if they lose maybe it won't hurt too much, but winning in a really exciting situation can be more exhilarating.

because some people will listen to their friends in a different way they listen to their family,
some people are more prone to accept help than others
a toddler doesn't have rational thinking the same way an adult does and either we like it or not sometimes rational thinking wins over our emotions.

I don't see anything wrong in gambling, but that is my own opinion and it does not have to be the same for others. The bookmakers are doing their business, they don't force people to gamble and they also put out the age limit/restriction for gamblers, to make sure that only adults (who are able to make decisions themselves) gamble. If you gamble responsibly, you'll not have any problems, just like when you drink responsibly, or are we also going to say alcohol is bad for the society?

When you take the context of gaming with the likes of Xbox games and play stations, you will understand that this are pure intention to be entertaining to people but when a multi-player switch from entertainment to some money thing, it becomes the next fist of grabbing money from one another, this is how some casino work in real life. If some games are to be free today in gambling house, many people wouldn't show up there again, this is why gambling will always looks like money before anything.

Just Google research on how much casino generates yearly from Casino from your country, you will be shock by how much thwsw companies generate every year and to my surprise, more company are coming into the market for competition, this is an indication that casino business is a very booming market where millions and billions are been gamble every months and yet none of the gamblers are really millionaires.

Yes, this industry wont really be that becoming that big if there would really be no money involved which same as you said on which this had become that big over the ages because people would really be  giving out that kind of importance or having that kind of interest on dealing up with something on which they do know that they could really be that potentially be able to make profits if ever they would really be that lucky.
Speaking about being bad to society then we are really just that focusing too much into those cons that it could possibly give on whereas the real one whose really that wrong on this aspect is into that someone who had been that deciding to make out some bad decisions towards their gambling activity. It isnt really that bad to gamble as long you do make yourself that responsible and this is something that you should be focusing into.

Life conditions or results will really be always reflecting out on the decisions or actions that you are making and not something that could generally be blamed out on gambling itself.
People cant really just that realize those things not until they would really be on such tough situation.

  Although you are just expressing your own opinion, no one will focus on having the same mindset of thinking with him together, let me take a deep view of the two factors that you are discussing. which the main is gambling, but at the end it is like you also have some interest in drinking (alcohol consumption). These two things are seen in a different light in the community, and believe it or not, they have their own side effects. When you are with them for a long time, you might drink or play gambling responsibly, but with time, in the other way around, you might get addicted either because of life struggle or depression, so don’t define things based on only your opinion but have some consideration.

A kind of panacea for a society that has completely lost the meaning of existence or has completely gone off the rails. Let them spend their time this way rather than go and do bad things.

This is a somewhat unique point of view. So, do you think that gambling is one of the best types of entertainment? But how can you explain to me the cases of addiction that are widespread everywhere, regardless of the nature of society? Did you know that all studies confirm that behavioral addiction is one of the most dangerous psychological diseases? And that 4 out of every ten addicts do not recover from their illness throughout their lives?

The benefits of gambling can be addressed from an economic and social point of view to some extent, but on the individual level, its risks remain far greater than its advantages.

How can you convince us that gambling as a hobby is better than exercising or reading books? Or are you making analyzes based on a purely subjective point of view?
