Is gambling bad to the society?

[Accardo]

A gambler who does this has lost his emotional control of losing. He can't make a great player and is prone to losing. Sadness and anger contribute to the reason why those living with addiction disturb the peace of their loved ones. It's of zero importance to develop negative impressions regarding losses. Gamblers should approach losing with happiness, it'll help.

I agree with you. If you accept losing with happiness, the game becomes entertainment rather than a source of stress. This helps maintain emotional balance and avoid disappointment. In this way, losing stops being something destructive and becomes a natural part of the experience, bringing an element of happiness and satisfaction from the game itself.

Happiness improves self control, and mental stability. A sad player would do things he'll regret. Same applies to decision making, people easily make the wrong steps, when they're sad. However, sadness as a player who controls his feelings wouldn't be an option when losing. Those who feel sad lack control and feel they'll get better with such a behavior.

Pressure comes to gamblers when they don't want to lose from gambling but are interested in winning more. The desire to win from gambling is definitely added stress. And people can never be normal if they are under this pressure. If we talk about investment at that time he will not understand. I have seen the behavior of some gamblers when they are gambling. A kind of tension comes to them until they get their bet result. This problem is more common among those who place high stakes. In gambling if one has less bet amount then he can enjoy the bet. That can be part of the entertainment. And this type of gambling cannot have any negative effect on the society.

when a gambler hates gambling just because they lose then maybe I would call them a loser who only wants to win but is not ready to accept the risks that are always part of the game.

Nicely said, gambling on its own is harmless, that is why it's not everyone who is gambling that is being affected by the bad side of it. This can only point to the fact that there are some things that those who are affected by it are doing wrongly and I love the way you've stated the solution. The solution is however not as difficult to achieve as many perceived it, all it takes is for us to accept gambling as what it is and not believe we can play too smart with it.

Our lower risk-taking and reasonable managerial effort will go a long way in keeping our mental state balanced. This calls for moderation in everything we do while engaging in it, and above all, the needed plans that will be backed by our discipline during and after the activity should be ensured. Again, gamblers should know that the latter plan is very important, it is for us to evaluate our current standing so that it will be a reference point for adjustments in the next gambling sessions to keep us responsible.

There are always pros and cons in almost everything. For some, gambling does have a bad effect. Well, I won't argue with that because the effect on one person might cause terrible consequences not just for himself but also for people around him. On the other hand, the gambling industry generates a significant amount of tax revenue, which is very helpful to society as well.

The tax is mainly levied in countries where casinos and gambling are fully legal and the people of the country can freely participate in gambling. But in countries where casinos or gambling are not legal, there is usually no income tax paid when setting up clandestine gambling establishments because these illegal establishments are created largely without the government's knowledge. However, if you participate in gambling for entertainment and have that mentality, gambling can never be harmful to society, but for those who participate in gambling with the goal of making money, gambling can have a bad effect on society.

Of course that is how gambling works. Not putting your hope on winning and just enjoy the fun is the best way to gamble because when you have those thoughts in you, it will be easy to gamble without overdoing it and there will be no sign of regrets.

It is when you start thinking that it is possible for you to make a fortune with gambling that you have put yourself into a tight corner because you will always believe you can hit the jackpot whenever you are gambling and that can make you lose self control on gambling and become an addict because you are not gambling the right way.

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.

I could not see any advantages of gambling though we gamble we can't get anything and finally accept being a loser on gambling, wasting time on gambling, Losing our funds gambling, increasing stress from gambling, and so on. Actually, almost there are no advantages to gambling. We may make a few fun for a short time but it can't be for a long time gambling.

This is just how inflated expectations work, the player expects a win with each bet and a win that will change everything in his life. When he starts playing, he thinks that his deposit will last a long time and that he will definitely meet luck, but gradually the deposit melts away, and the win does not happen. As a result, the player is perplexed and confused, after some time he decides that other deposits will definitely change everything, so he gets like a squirrel running in a wheel. I advise you not to initially set yourself inflated expectations, but on the contrary, do not hope for victory, but rather enjoy the process and understand that luck comes to few, perceive it realistically and adequately. And when it comes to me, I am happy, but if it does not come, then I am not very upset.

Still, it is impossible to say with certainty and give a clear answer to this question, whether gambling has a good or bad effect, only to a greater or lesser extent it can be done. Each country and the people in this country determine this themselves, and if the country's leadership sees more negative in gambling games, then they are banned, although at the same time, shadow games arise. Some countries even create gambling zones so that only there players can play. In general, there are many options in fact and there is no clear answer to this question, each case must be considered specifically in each country, whether the community of players needs it or not.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
( Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

I don't think gambling is bad for society, it's the extremes of the human condition that are bad for humanity. If everyone stuck to the advice "everything in moderation" they would be fine, however some people get into such a psychosis or form such deep habits without realizing, that they end up in trouble. That trouble comes in the forms you describe - they might end up stealing in order to fund their addiction, or stop looking after those closest to them. There can be a form of escapism involved, where stress can trap people in these cycles and they need to work very hard to get out of them. However casual gambling, if it's kept small and infrequent, seems like a perfectly reasonable form of entertainment like any other.

Good or bad effect would really be that entirely depending on how you would really be treating it up because on the time that you would really be that making it as some sort of money making thing
then this is where you would really be that putting up yourself on such trouble or problem on which we know that when it comes into this aspect then it would really be that hard for you to consider
out on what gambling truly is on the time that you would really be playing. We do know that when it comes into this situation then gambling is really just that for fun but it turns out
for most people that this is something that a thing that could bring or give up money and thats why they do really end up on being desperate because of this approach.

I find it difficult to accept people gamble with loss and the be happy about it. I'm not sure if I'm the only person that feel this way but I think that people gamble with the intension of making money but the real ones knows the risk involved, so when the lost the money they don't bother to be too attach to it but saying that they lose it with happiness, na! Who will accept happiness in losing money, that's rare unless it's not the money you make by yourself.

The real ones knows the risk invoke and they still play it by the way but they don't get attached to it and some people get carried away by the result the have in some games. For example, I once forgot that I had a bet stake on my gambling dashboard about Chelsea Champions League 2019 I think, I stake they win regular time and over time and I bet they lose, I want them to win but I wasn't sure and then I gamble some money on them incase they lose just to use that to console myself but the win anyways and I forgot I had game stake but was lost.

i think it is pretty clear, and everyone knows it...

It is bad for society in general, overall, to have gambling. because the vast majority of people involved in it end up losing a lot of money.

On the flipside there is a small number of people that get a lot of money, which they can use to make it interesting to the people making the rules.

It's a tale old as time.

It turns out that the player plays and interacts with his consciousness and attitude to the game. This is one of the main elements that will not allow us to lose our temper. I have not expected anything from the game for a long time, but am only satisfied with small victories and am glad that they happen. Also, many have an inadequate understanding of what percentage of the total number of players wins, and they need to know this. And if you take a huge number of games, it turns out that it is impossible to win the casino, but this is clear anyway, because all this was not invented to make each player rich. Each of the players simply assures himself that he will not be a loser.

You get the point doesn't mean every other too get the point, at most I believe almost all gambler feel they can get rich by betting either with huge money and lowering the odds or either by selecting lots of games to accumulate bigger odds. Gambling is seen by some gamblers as something that they can use as a source of living and those set of gamblers are the ones that get affected by the whole gambling activities because they never learn to accept the defeat.

The large number of people who lose a significant amount is one of the reasons why gambling is bad for society, and it is also one of the reasons why society has a bad stigma towards the activity, the point is that they always try to fight gambling even though they are not gamblers.

But maybe I would say that actually gambling would not be too bad for society if only they gambled in the right way, in the sense that if they understand the positive and negative sides of the activity, everything would not be too painful or end in significant regret when you know and understand the truth, because with that knowledge, it is likely that all forms of your actions will be measured due to concerns related to losing large amounts of money as experienced by others. On the other hand, I do not know about who gets a lot of money in gambling that attracts the attention of many people, but I am sure that it seems like they are among the people in the casino strategy.

They would only know defeat on the time that they wont really be having no more money on their pockets on which this is something that most common condition or status
on where people would really be literally stopping on playing because they cant really just that do it because of lacking of funds. Dont make yourself rich into this kind of point that you dont have
the funds because you have spend it all. People would really be finding it to be  that gambling might that sounds easy money but on the time that they would really be having such action then this is the time that they would really be that making themselves that being delusional. This is why i would really be that important that you should really know on what you are dealing with and
on what are the things that you would really be acting out accordingly.

I'd say that nobody is obligated to gambling and probably the ones most prone to spend a lot with gambling are those with not a lot of purpose for their money or with too much hope and a lack of math skill
but you are right, having something like that where people can spend and lose a lot of money out of nowhere is not a net positive.

[Accardo]

Gambling is both beneficial and destructive to the society. The whole concept of gambling, online and offline, would have been scraped out, if it was only bad to society. However, the wrong side of gambling outweighs its financial contributions to a country's economy. Players who live with addiction cause severe harm to their loved ones, and that's too much trouble for any society to handle.

And most countries don't invest the funds generated through gambling in health care services to help tackle addiction. Leaving the whole responsibility for the addict's family to handle is quite unacceptable and full of harm.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

And most countries don't invest the funds generated through gambling in health care services to help tackle addiction. Leaving the whole responsibility for the addict's family to handle is quite unacceptable and full of harm.

So in this scenario, who is to be blamed? Is it the gambling casinos or the government who fails to establish an enabling environment for people with gambling addiction? Because though its true, the negative effect of gambling, outweigh the positive effect, but that doesn't mean for those who could be disciplined enough to gamble what they can always afford to lose, will ever dislike gambling, as gambling is only a game of fun and money, which can only gets desaster when people  gets greedy, and sees gambling as a get rich quick scheme.

Gambling is nothing more than entertainment and nothing but loss to a common man. Just as a gambler is enough to cause a loss to the family especially to cause financial distress, so the gambler is a serious loss to the society. However, considering a country, an online gambling or offline gambling where there is government legalization can contribute to the economy of the country. Although this economic contribution does not benefit many countries, it can have a significant negative impact on the citizens of the country collectively.
