Is gambling bad to the society?

[Roseline492]

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

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..

You are right but the fact remains that no matter how much people learn about the disadvantage and advantages of gambling people will always get affected whenever they lose money because emotions is actually one of the things that defines us as a human and there is no way it can be averted especially in gambling, however the only good thing about knowing the advantages and disadvantages is for the gamblers to know what they are up against and getting ready for anything that nights comes up later from the gambling because nothing is certain for sure. However you have a point on the trusting aspects of gambling because as someone who strive for higher things in the future putting all hope in gambling is another way of making a big mistake because if they failed in gambling they would feel as if the whole world is against them and it could affect them both physically and mentally.

We know that gambling is a bad thing and there are many risks in a person's life, especially when the person becomes addicted. But mostly we know that gambling is basically a criminal activity in every society, which people don't like. In particular, we know that the ancient Moors never condoned gambling, and they did not like it, so gambling was seen as a huge crime in many societies. Gambling has been made illegal in many countries, and gambling has been legalized in many countries. But in today's era most of the people gamble through online casinos due to which the society does not know that a person is addicted to gambling. So in today's society many people are gambling through online which is not caught by the eyes of the society, and such activities are increasing day by day due to which the number of gambling addicts is increasing in the society now.

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.

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.

it's just better to go on without listening to other people's opinions so much
it's a solo journey at the end of the day, we meet friends and all but we are born and die alone
it is what it is
as crazy as it may sound

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.

I agree with you. Basically, the tendency to take gambling as normal socially is ruining the people with excessive addiction because gambling addicts are very careless about their own as well as family maintenance which is harmful to the society as well as the country. That is why there is an attempt to stratify gambling in different ways from country to country. As citizens they should be allowed to act independently. But as far as I know most of the countries have open and informal gambling which is a form of entertainment for the people of that country. Socially gambling may be negative for many people but it varies from place to place and country to country.

We don't have to listen to other people but sometimes we are weak and makes us thinks about what people say. That can makes our emotion change into bad and we can not see what is good for us and we can also become temper. Although that is a solo journey for us but we must not forget that we lived in a society and if you and your neighbor are close and often to talk or meet daily, you should consider to be careful when we are with them.

At least, we are human which needs other people in our life and we can lived alone. If we choose to lived alone, we can moves to a place that doesn't have other people in around us. But that will looks strange for other people. Well, that will depends on each people. If you want to playing gambling, it is better you hide from other people so they will not judge us because that can bring a bad effect to other people.

No, you find the meaning of gambling wrong. It was not bad for many reasons, and you don't have to say it caused a lot of illegalities and criminal activities because it was just the person who chose to do that and made use of the casino as a tool for their bad intentions. Clearly, it was not gambling that made it bad, but it was the wrong practice of most gamblers. If these gamblers are responsible enough and know that it is illegal in their country, I don't think they have to push through. 

If you agree that gambling is a bad thing, then I don't think it is necessary for you to post about gambling, but you are still here and want to promote it negatively, which you should not do because that is a false accusation.

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.

Let me first exonerate casinos here, casinos are only the providers of gambling and gambling itself is a neutral activity that if you do not meet it by yourselves is harmless to you. And even if you meet the casino to engage in it does not automatically mean that it will harm you provided you know your way around it.

As for the younger people's brains still growing, well, I say that in gambling, we should not conclude on that because many young people will definitely act better than some mature people, all that matter is their upbringing and their nature. I said this because I was introduced to many unspeakable things when I was so young, and I tell you I resisted most of them but one. The only one I knew I yielded to was later also resisted by me because my upbringing is good and personally, I have a mind of my own. This is why I do not undermine the ability of some young people to say NO whereas some adults may even childishly say YES.

But still, the proper guidance for young people matters and we should all learn the dangers of gambling regardless of our age.

Whether gambling is bad or not depends on how each person access or sees it.We all know that gambling is risky,but most persons are thanking God for giving people the brain to be able to bring a game like this to the world.Yes, gambling can frustrate your life,but when you know how to go about it,you will always be happy,and while some persons are saying gambling is bad for the society,you will be saying gambling is good for the society.No doubt,it is only few people who gambling have favoured,But those people can relate more on how gambling has been good to them.So because of that,we cannot totally say that gambling is bad.

 I think a person can take gambling in two ways gambling for enjoyment and gambling for income. Those who gamble for enjoyment never waste extra time gambling. And those who gamble for money.  For gambling they waste both money and time behind gambling. I think people who are smart will never over greedy while gambling and waste money gambling.

Right , people are usually attracted to gambling for two reasons.  Although people are attracted to gambling for entertainment, the number of such gamblers is very low. People are mostly attracted to gambling for money and in this case they do not give any importance to judge the good and bad of the society. Some bad natured gamblers have a bad effect on the society especially some bad natured gamblers do not hesitate to do bad things like hijacking and theft along with violence against women to manage gambling money.

Gambling is good to the society but gamblers makes gambling look harmful to the society because they cannot control their greed which will finally land them into addiction. Some people have made it through gambling because after winning big, they were able to invest the money and it is a big achievement to them. On the other hand gambling have destroyed a lot of people future because they got carried away with making profit in gambling and that ruined their business, families and lives. It depends on what you take gambling for that will be the outcome.

I totally agree with, gambling depend on what you want to believe it as. Most people who are disciplined in their gambling would tell you gamble is fun, whereas others who take it as a source of income and get addicted along the way would say there is no fun in gambling because of the risk and fear of losing the last money left with you. And people like this, are more than those with self discipline who can actually use their Brains to make decisions rather than letting their emotion to make decisions for them. And the society due to the majority of struggling gambles or the bad records of addicted gamblers, they have come with a general conclusion that gambling is bad, but we all know the truth that indiscipline and greed is the cause of those actions .

Of course, gambling can be dangerous. This is a trivial statement, there is nothing new in it. But let's face it: we are surrounded by a huge number of dangerous things that we tolerate solely because they can be useful to us. Even if it concerns kitchen knives or chainsaws - these are all very dangerous things. But they have become absolutely indispensable in everyday life. Or take bank loans. After all, according to one proverb: "A loan is a loaded gun." Especially if the loan is not taken to buy a household item, for example, a laptop, but for a business. Do entrepreneurs always manage to repay loans? In this sense, gambling is no more dangerous than a kitchen knife or a loan for business development. You must be immune to addiction.

Gambling is an addiction so you are right that it is dangerous. It can't destroy the life of the gambler (who is addicted and becomes a loser) only but also those (friends and family even the society) who are engaged with that addicted gambler. But I can't agree with the loan it can't be more useless than gambling.

Your submission about the subject matter aligns with mine if you ask me. Some societal beliefs forbids gambling while others do not see it as a bad engagement which is why to some people, gambling is a bad thing to do while to others it's a normal thing that can be engaged by anyone. So as individuals from different societal beliefs, we should consider gambling a bad habit when it's condemned by our immediate societal or religious belief and as well engage in it responsibly when it's accepted by our immediate societal and religious belief.
Whichever way we want to look at gambling, it is a bad habit that can negatively affect others if we fail to gamble with caution.

I have read a post in this forum where someone was trying to capture the advantages of gambling to the society. I read carefully to understand the advantages and it seems I was disappointed in the end. I saw reasons like;
Gambling Helps us to have fun;
And the rest bla bla of a thing. So, the menace gambling has caused the society is large and cannot match the purported good they are talking about.

Well, the gambler itself is the one responsible if they want gambling to influence them negatively/positively. It's just that, majority are not a discipline gambler resulting to addiction. The reason why gambling is seeing by society as bad due to its effect to the players who are not able to control themselves. And we know people around are also affected if their relative is addicted. Family problems, crimes, physical and mental issues are also present.

Yup. As much as gambling is bad, it still has some good sides especially if 1 out of every 100-1000 gamblers make life changing money. Gambling is actually a zero sum game but on steroids. This means, it can be a make or break moment for you but won't find out. I won't say the net outcome for gambling is net negative because despite all of its bad sides, gambling has change some lies. Now, that's a fact we all can't deny. Btw, The fun part is actually just a bonus. You can make /loss money but have fun doing so

A sum zero games when you keep gamblers enclosed and their money, however gambling is also an industry with tends to go along with other ones like tourism and traveling. Las Vegas is a good example of it, if your enclosed environment is Las Vegas, then there is a net accumulation of capital in the city coming from the outside, money coming from losing gamblers and tourists who are responsible enough not to go crazy and lose more than they can afford to lose. Their money is used to pay for the salaries and benefits of employees and staffers.

So, while there are obvios downsides coming from gambling onto society as a whole, it is also true there are actual jobs being maintained thanks to such industry.

Highlighting the term to manage gambling money, in what essence? Were you trying to say that they do all that to get gambling money? It's pretty considerate to view the latter as the proper term because all those illicit actions you mentioned can't manage gambling money. Instead, it'll get the player into trouble and a long-term financial brokenness. Such gamblers are already addicted and can't survive a day without gambling. And for this, they'll go a long way to make life unconducive for people in their environment, which does not positively promote gambling.
