Is gambling bad to the society?

[348Judah]

We all made up the society, there is nothing bad if we do gamble in common, this is nothing than doing it under a friendly manner, gambling is for having fun, we are the ones that are involved in it, if we think about it as a bad thing then we are the bad ones been responsible for it, gambling should be seen with a positive approach and mentality on the purpose for which is was been created for, being entertained and having fun.

mean, realistically speaking, gambling is a bad thing for society overall...

It creates a lot of suicides, people losing their entire life savings, etc.

There are many things that causes suicide and not only gambling and I have not heard of someone suicide because of gambling but I have heard people killed themselves because of frustration in school. Suicide in school is much more than any other place. And for the live savings, the gambler is an addicted gambler and he is not a responsible gamblers. Always gamble what you can afford to lose.

Gambling can lead to various problems. After someone becomes addicted, if he spends excess of his ability on gambling, he can choose the way of suicide at any time. Others may engage in activities such as robbery or racketeering to manage their gambling money and all this is definitely a threat to a society. But these types of acts are often happening because of gambling and also because of other reasons. I must say gambling has a negative outlook on society but it is created by the gamblers.

There are other types of work that have a negative impact on society. In order to get rid of such situations, along with increasing awareness, self-control is required. It is not only gambling but this strategy can be used in all kinds of activities. If it is played responsibly, it will not be able to spread any bad influence in the society.

I agree with you that gambling can lead to serious problems, including financial difficulties and criminal activities. To prevent such situations, self-control and increased awareness of the dangers of gambling are important. Responsible behavior can minimize the negative consequences, but the risks cannot be completely eliminated.

The potential risks when dealing up with gambling on uncontrolled manner.

1. Too much spending/ Compromise life savings
2. Risks of getting addicted
3. Unbalanced spending of time when putting up much focus on gambling sessions
4. Irresponsible budgeting limit and prioritize gambling
5. Potential criminal act

On the moment that you do have that different treatment or approach towards gambling then you would really be might be ending up with these conditions on which we know
that on the time or moment that you do find yourself having that of approach towards it, then high chances or probability that you might really be ending up
with this kind of situation. Gambling isnt bad to society since its just for entertainment thing, what makes it bad is on the moment that someone do make out some
shit decisions that makes up shit conditions because of being too impulsive and being too irresponsible.

We all made up the society, there is nothing bad if we do gamble in common, this is nothing than doing it under a friendly manner, gambling is for having fun, we are the ones that are involved in it, if we think about it as a bad thing then we are the bad ones been responsible for it, gambling should be seen with a positive approach and mentality on the purpose for which is was been created for, being entertained and having fun.

Talking like this is easy for those of us who already understand gambling and have the mindset of gambling just for fun. However, it must be admitted that there are many gamblers out there who have experienced all the things said by the OP above, maybe it is not only in my country that this has happened, it has also happened in several countries.

This all happens because they gamble not for fun but make gambling a source of income, or they want to get out of their poor lives so they hope to win the jackpot from gambling games.

So if you ask me, is gambling a bad activity in the eyes of society? In general, of course yes and that's very normal. because there are so many people who gamble irresponsibly so they make a lot of mistakes and there are lots of negative impacts of gambling on society which ultimately makes gambling very bad for society.

There is nothing like friendly manner if gambling when there is too much hunger in the land and lack of job opportunities, the only thing available is gambling wih intention of making money, no other thing they do but to make money gambling and you don't expect people to lose money when the have priorize money before even understanding how gambling works. The society is full of young men that are trying to balance their won share pressures.

I don't see all this as a problem in the society if the government can limit gambling and should deposit of a particular threshold which is should be for everyone and no account will be increased of their deposit until your total withdrawals exceed your total deposit and that shows that you are good in gambling and what you do but the casino wouldn't be able to make all these money they make from customerrs.

from the beginning gambling is meant for adults and not babies or teenagers, but when you check recently you will see that gambling at this present time every one participate in gambling even people who can feed completely three square meal daily is participating in gambling due to they are in search of luck, so what is happening today in our society is as result of abuse due to tender ages that associate themselves in gambling without knowing the implications.

The exact meaning of players who are not supposed to gamble engaging in the game is yet to be known. Since it's an open game for anybody above 18 years, participating in the game shouldn't be called for, because they're players who have enough money and still engage into gambling. Though the risk applies to everyone regardless of their financial status, the center of attraction remains young and growing people who don't care of the risks attached to gambling. Their contribution to the sad experience and publicity the society has on gambling is quite high. Most of them are not experienced and do not care about being responsible, their aim remains the monetary fulfilments which can be earned in gambling.

Gambling is not bad but the individuals make it so. And mostly the irresponsible and addicted gamblers make it bad. Those who are gently playing gamble with a responsible way are doing well in the society and also gambling has helped many ordinary people in the society. Many have used gambling to build houses and start business. So it is not really bad in the society but it is the gamblers spoiled the name "gambling".

Why people think that gambling is bad because those cult boys would do bad things in the society and finally they are in most times caught in the casino center by police so they called it as bad in the society. But it is not.

Brother, I have seen many people who are addicted to excessive gambling, they all lost all their wealth at one time, they won a little bit of luck in the beginning, and that's how they became addicted to gambling and They then got greedy and gambled more and lost money, and due to excessive addiction, at some point they They gambled by selling their assets and lost their assets at a loss. There are still many such people who lose their wealth by doing such things.

Gambling is not bad, but people addicted to this kind of irresponsible excessive gambling, by doing this kind of thing, have introduced gambling as bad among the common people and in our society. But those who are responsible put themselves in a stable position, gambling only with those money they can afford to lose, and thus they always do well. So gambling is risky but not bad at all, but because for some nonsense and For people with excessive gambling addiction people, gambling is known to us as bad.

Lolz 🤣!! This your statement made me laugh. It is not because the person is addicted to gambling that would made people to tell their wards not to go close to the person. Someone who would spoiled would still spoiled without gambling. Like me I grew up in ghetto, I grew up in the place that smoking is legalize in all the roofs. Yet I am not smoking and even the smokes affect me. If someone wants to gamble or join bad gangs. It is not the influence per say but it is the mind of the person. I have been hearing occult people initiate people to join their groups but that also comes from the person acceptance to join.

So I don't believe when you go close to the gambler then the gambler would initiate you. In my area right now. Nobody cares if you are an addicted gambler or not. In normal sense, someone who have something important to do would not closed to an addicted gambler and take him as his friend.

The influence can affects to other people. Perhaps you already saw a groups of kids playing games together. While they playing, some kids doing different thing and that makes other kids curious and want to know what they do. They asks about that and feels that they can do that so that makes them follow what their friends do. Imagine that if some kids smoke or drug or other bad things. That can influence other kids who close to them can follow and do the same thing. I say like that because some kids in my environtment doing this as some poeple caught them do something suspicious besides of just smoke. Bad influence can enter to people's minds easily than a good influence.

Addicted gambler will not initiate you but they can influence you without you realizes by watching them playing gambling. When you see they wins for some rounds, your minds will affect you by telling that you can do that too. One person can affect to all people in that environment.

We can easily say that they should be responsible in gambling so that they can avoid losses and anything that's going to give them bad effect. But even with that, a gambler that has no control will never listen to what are suggested to them. They'd follow their own lead and that's hard to make them use all of the words you used to say to them because they have their own ways of dealing it. Even if it is the society that tells them that they shouldn't be like that, you will not be able to control their counter actions.

Yes, they must responsible in gambling to avoids the bad things. But most people will not thinks much about responsible in gambling because gambling can gives them fun and entertainment so they will still playing gambling use more money. That can gives the bad effect to them as they will not realizes what is going on with them and they will not listen to other people's suggestion.

Society must know about this and will not lets this people doing something bad or influence other people to do the same thing. But if society can not control or don't know if some people are doing something not good or even playing gambling, that can slowly affect to other people who doesn't have control, limitation, discipline or something that will helps them to stay away from gambling.
