Is gambling bad to the society?

[nara1892]

There is no problem when someone get gambling wins. In gambling  there is a lot of money that can be made very quickly but when a person loses, he feels depressed. There is no guarantee that everyone will win at gambling and neither will everyone lose. In Nigeria who have staked their little money and won big have definitely benefited from gambling who can also change their lives from gambling but there is no guarantee that they will always win from gambling. There is no opportunity to look at gambling as a profession, rather it is better to have the idea that every bet has to be lost. And it is also a challenge to use gambling winnings as much as possible. Many people can't do anything with their winnings after winning big. Later they lose more than they win.

it is true that there is a winning side that can be obtained or in other words there is an unspecified amount of money that can be obtained quickly, but isn't winning in gambling something that is difficult to get? even using the strategy used, it cannot guarantee that you will be able to get the victory, so I think it is not entirely true to say that in gambling there is a lot of money that can be generated very quickly. because the big possibility is that they experience defeat including myself.

even so, gambling is not entirely bad because those who are wise in gambling can gamble in a limited way without causing serious problems. saying that gambling is bad for society can probably be determined by seeing how they gamble, because if they gamble excessively, problems cannot be prevented or avoided. with the rare victory obtained, this makes them force themselves to continue betting because the high desire to win is attached to them. therefore gambling cannot be seen or viewed only from the negative side, that is not true.

Boeing argument at least to me. Because of you take ANYTHING (literally) you can't find some really "good" for humans. everything has some negative aspects and cannot be something "perfect".
I think that probably Is Just matter of how you use something. A knife can help to cook and feed your family... But It can also used to make violence or kill people...

Perfectly Said, in as much as gambling has negative effects on some people around the world there are others that actually benefit from it and that's the truth... gambling can be a persons downfall and it can also be your upliftment, a lot of people in Nigeria have won huge amounts of money from just little amounts they staked, would you say it's bad to them? The answer is no, instead those persons will be celebrated.. gambling should simply be done in moderation, in that way I don't think it can be a problem to the society

Gambling is really just that for pure entertainment nothing less. It is really just that on the other way around that people would really be focusing into on which it is really that the way for them to make
money or having those kind of  approach on where they are making it as a source of income and this what makes real disaster happens on which on the  time or moment that they will really be having that kind of treatment towards it. If they are really just that making themselves responsible into their actions then gambling wont really be that making that huge devastation into their lives. The main issue on here is that people do lose control on the time that they do gamble on which this is something not recommended. Gambling isnt that totally bad if you do really just that make yourself that responsible
and not really being that too desperate on things.

Here in our country, most of the communities in our society do not really think well of gambling, and in their eyes, it is not a good habit or habit of an individual, which is the logic that they think is right. That's why the others are just really desperate and hopeless, because this gambling game is their last chance to raise money that they think will help them get out of the hardships of the life they are living.

But the others have become wild and addicted to gambling, which is why they don't care about the amount of money they lose every time they play gambling, to be honest.

Gambling might be bad for some people, but the same time a lot of people are making money from it just because you can’t control yourself means that gambling is bad, greed is one of the major factors that people are addicted to . The moment you are able to control yourself less your chances of becoming an addict reduces. All these gambling issues to me have to do with personality. I also gamble a lot but I have no reason to complain just because I know how to manage my gambling habits correctly. In fact, I gamble every day, but even with me gambling every day, I have a specific amount of money that i use in gambling and I don’t go beyond my budget. because one of the mistake people is they want to make back the money they have lost and they also want to be sure of every game they play by adding more money, so let’s be careful of how we manage our gambling habits.

Society is just short-sighted and extremely unreasonable assessments of the impact of external and internal forces. I mean, in society, many people like to become keyboard warriors as well as represent punishment, always promote and exaggerate the evils created by gambling followed by seminars to prevent evils and condemn gamblers, but after all, they cannot vision a different interface for gambling. The bad only belongs to those who push personal interests and strengthen habits, it is not related to the collective nor the entire gambling community, the positive side still exists for those who pay attention to it.

Betting can never become a profession. A profession is nothing more than selling labor or some skill that generates market value. Betting has no way of adding value, there is no way of knowing whether it will work or not. It is just betting. This should always be a way of passing the time or some kind of hobby. It is impossible in any situation to guarantee anything, any value, any money.

Betting as a profession is a challenging course. It's on a trial-and-error basis, which shouldn't be considered a discipline in the first place. Some players try all they can to study and master gambling but always fail. Although, they're people who answer gambling professionals. Such people are not professionals in the sense of winning all the time. But, they've had enduring success in the gambling niche. During their multiple years in the gambling niche, they've never been of harm to society.

I disagree. A lot of people making money? Name them.
It's rare to find a person who would say they are winners in gambling, most of them are either in a small loss or totally wrecked. Gambling is made to be an entertainment with risk included but it doesn't mean it is a charity that will give out money just like that to many gamblers.
A lot of losses will happen and winners occasionally come out to tell their story. Why? Because it's rare to be a winner in this industry. The only good part that a gambling business could do is the tax it will give to the community and that will help a lot considering the percentage it will give from all the profits they made. Just saying that will make you think where they get all the money. Of course it's from the players.

Many people have benefited from gamble, it's just that they prefer to keep it silent from people to not know that they are also gamblers. It's only few of this gamblers that are affected by gamble negatively, reason why we hear about addiction gamblers most is because after losing most of them come to social media to express their feelings after losing. The truth remains the same that majority of the gamblers have benefited from gamble just that they decide to keep it silent for some reasons.

[junder]

If that can be applied to society, they will realizes that gambling is just part of entertainment and they will not spends much money or chase more winning. That society will trying to use anything to prevents the bad thing happens to them and always remind that gambling is not have to use too big money to have fun. Maybe some people from that society can win but the other people doesn't have to thinks to chase the win because that will depends on their luck.

That society will not thinks that gambling as a profession because they see that they can lose their money anytime. They will choose to playing gambling moderately and with enough money that they can afford to lose so those people in that society will not lose bigger money and they can also avoids the gambling addiction. They must consider that when they use their money to playing gambling, they know that money can be lost anytime so they will not add more money to keeps playing gambling instead quit gambling when they lose for some money.

Betting can never become a profession. A profession is nothing more than selling labor or some skill that generates market value. Betting has no way of adding value, there is no way of knowing whether it will work or not. It is just betting. This should always be a way of passing the time or some kind of hobby. It is impossible in any situation to guarantee anything, any value, any money.

Right, you said something simple but easy to understand, the point is gambling is not a profession and that's clear, there is no market value when there are no special skills that can always guarantee income, for example when you have skills or talents in painting then that means you have creativity that has a selling value or can be traded to make money, meaning there is certainty in it and it can be called a profession and maybe general work can also be used as one example.

But when we talk about gambling then yes of course as you said that there is no way from the start to know whether it will succeed or fail, this is also the reason why gambling is called an activity that depends on luck, because from the start we never know whether the decisions we make now will be able to produce victory or vice versa. Logically it will never be called gambling if there is a way that can guarantee victory, and also if there is a way that can guarantee victory then surely there will be many gamblers who have succeeded in achieving wealth, but the proof is that it does not happen.

Therefore, if you really want to get a definite income, then never make gambling an option.

I find it is better to approach money in a stoic way, don't tie it so much to happiness, value it but don't pursue it, let it get you
it works, more often than it doesn't

this place is quite crazy, anything can happen.

Yes, I agree with you that gambling has its own benefits, despite the fact that a large percentage of people have observed that concluded that gambling is a bad habit to involve ourselves with. As some people are sad about losing money in gambling, some people are in happiness due to the benefits they have derived from gambling, so it is left for everyone to judge that through themselves. But the truth that is there is that the negative impact of gambling is greater than the positive impact on people. If we are to observe well, it is really clear that gambling is really a bad thing because it has causes a lot of damage to people's lives. Out of 100% of people that are gambling in a day, if we should look at the percentage of people benefiting from it, it is just like 5%, so as for me, I will say that gambling is a is a bad thing. I am a gambler, and I know how much I have wasted on gambling.

Why gambling as portrayed to be a bad stuff it is just because into those people who do make out those bad stuff and decisions into it and this what makes their lives that miserable. On the moment that the society sees about gambling then it would really be that the primary thing comes up into their mind is that its a bad stuff and could destroy someones life on the time that they would really be making up some dealing with it, without even trying out to realize that this stuff is really just that for entertainment and leisure. It did really just that turn out that those gamblers did really do such things on which its not really that recommended and this is why they do wreck their lives just because of those delusional approach towards gambling on which this isnt something recommended to be done by someone. This is why it would really be that important that you should really know at least on what you are dealing on with.

So when some people still use gambling as a profession, they must realizes that they will never success as becoming a profession needs to have skills, experience, and money. There will be other things that will be needed to become a professional in gambling and that will not many people can do that as the requirement is very difficult. When a person in a society wants to become a professional in gambling, they must think what he needs to prepare and how his society will look at him.

That can attract so many opinion about him and if more people follow what he did, that just effect to that society and more people who playing gambling will increase. That will makes that society becomes bad and if there are no people reminds about their gambling habit, But if people in that society can use gambling for just have fun and not have any intention to make money, they will not have a problem anything from gambling.

Gambling can affect human characters based on what you have in mind to participate in gambling, that's why you dont need to put all your trust in gambling, you can that inquisitive in participating in gambling and base on that your mentality maybe changed so I know quite well that gambling you have to understand one particular thing that have to do with gambling, secondly when you continue to lose funds in gambling it also make some people to get depressed so base on that note we have to know that gambling frequently and also losing almost every time can after your reasoning.

What I want us to know concerning gambling is that, in gambling we need to learn some certain things of gambling before we venture into it so that when we lose we will not experience anything bad, so therefore in gambling what we supposed to know it's advantages and disadvantages before we enrolled on it..

gambling will end with a win or a loss but it is possible that the players have a greater chance of losing and that is natural, because the house has a greater chance of winning and that applies in the long term. besides that behind the many people who experience defeat there must be people who win but indeed when compared to the number there may be more people who experience defeat. getting a win in gambling big or small is certainly not bad, because that is the profit that is obtained.

the bad thing about gambling for society is a problem created by the individual himself who gambles beyond good self-control or in other words they really hope that gambling will be able to give them victory or profit, but the victory in gambling certainly cannot be obtained as expected, because victory in gambling tends to depend on luck and no one knows when luck will be on their side.

You have given a logical explanation. Gamblers don't have to go far to find out what's the position about their gambling activities. Everyone can get an idea of ​​how much they have gained from gambling by taking an idea from the gamblers around them. I believe that many people have lost their wealth but some people who have been able to make a lot of wealth as well. Although it is not possible to get any exact statistics. Because those who win big never agree to identify themselves. And we're seeing rapid growth in crypto gambling platforms that point to this. I would say that not everyone will benefit and not everyone will suffer. But those who come here only to get money will have more chances to lose. And if one takes it as entertainment, even if he loses there, he will not regret it.

Yeah, gambling affects the brain, and if you have a person that is young, with their brain still being developed, gambling can affect that person even more.

Even as an adult gambling affects the brain, because we are all wired in a similar way, we want to get the reward, that's what we are seeking all the time.

Casinos know this and they use it to their advantage of course.

Of course, it means that anyone can be affected and become a victim of gambling if they see and respond to gambling from the wrong perspective and understanding so that in the end they have the wrong approach or endanger themselves in the long run.
Although I understand that there are some people who come by doing research, but that is only a minority.

Most of the gamblers always focus on the name of the reward based on an unreasonable mindset and hope, they have a good spirit but their biggest mistake is choosing the wrong place to grow their money.

Of course as you said that the casino knows this, one of the reasons why the casino makes money the object of victory I am sure that the casino knows that there is no one who does not need money, and also there are always people who act without being based on common sense and the right perspective on everything they find.

There are different societies from place to place, some societies consider gambling as a normal activity while there are some areas where gambling is considered a criminal act and people in those societies do not look favorably on gamblers. Especially in Muslim countries, gambling is criminalized and those who gamble are punished by law. Gamblers in those societies are frowned upon by the people of the society and try to avoid them at all times. But apart from these, all the other countries that have allowed direct gambling have many physical casinos in their country where people can conduct all the gambling activities.

That is one of the few restrictions I agree with regarding gambling. It should be forbidden to minors, just as people who exclude themselves from gambling should be respected as much as possible. I think that this and a little mathematical-financial education would help a lot socially both to limit the negative effects of gambling and to improve people's finances but I don't trust that politicians are in favor of it.

If understood positively, gambling is seen as a simple solution that helps many people relieve stress and temporarily dispel financial worries. However, participating in gambling activities regularly to the point of becoming addicted can lead to many unpredictable harmful effects on a person's physical, psychological, and mental health. Gambling addicts face a constant risk of depression.
So for society: I think this is also the cause of other social evils such as prostitution, drugs, and fighting, and do you believe the severity is enough to lead to murder?

I am surprised by the information that, for example, in the USA, gambling is allowed in many places, literally in several states, but betting is allowed in many places. And this is strange.
Personally, I think that betting and gambling are practically the same thing, and both of these phenomena can lead to poverty or strong psychological dependence. And it seems like the states know the statistics, but for some reason they so strongly separate betting and gambling.
