Is gambling bad to the society?

[ethereumhunter]

It is always very sad to hear that families are destroyed because of uncontrolled gambling. Because in a family, a man should be a breadwinner, he should look for money to provide for the family, so that his wife and children are happy.
And if a man is not even a slacker, but also takes money and things out of the house, then this is terrible. Especially if there is a small child in the apartment, or even a child of a different age. After all, then they look to the father as an example, but he sets a bad example, and this has a bad effect on the children.

Yes, that is right because their kids will see what happens to their family and difficult to accept. That can be a trauma for their kids because they see their dad can not control his gambling habit and even lose their money in the gambling table. When many people in that society destroyed because of uncontrolled gambling, we will see many of them becomes addicted to gambling and that will difficult to solve the problem. Even if their family want to help, that will not easy because addicted people to gambling will gather with other who have the same thing. It is about how we can adapt with the current situation in our society and if we know that other people in that society playing gambling, we don't have closer to them. We can get attract with them easily because gambling can tempts people without takes too long. So that is why we must be careful when we socialize with other people in our neighborhood.

what do you think? gambling should always be allowed for everyone?

I think that it is definitely not for everyone, definitely not for people who have an irresistible urge to gamble and can't stop in time. But I honestly do not see how this access can be regulated, except for the development of self-control. With the advent of the Internet and VPNs, even restricting gambling in a certain country is not an obstacle for those who want to do it. The casinos themselves will not deny access to players, because this is the source of their income, and they are able to make money from such an addiction.

I agree with you. And even the reason why some countries prohibit gambling is because gambling can have a very bad effect if not regulated properly because it can destroy a country. Imagine if all your citizens are gambling addicts and gamblers. Then there will be a lot of crime because people want to get a lot of money to gamble. In some countries like Singapore gambling is legalized but under very strict regulations from the government and only gambling in certain places. But the point is gambling cannot be allowed carelessly because it has the potential to ruin the future of children who are not yet mature and wise in thinking.

Sometimes the governments of countries are also helpless against the gambling evil, although they have set regulations for gamblers to comply with, but it seems that the effect is not as expected, regulations without people to control make everything happen according to the players' wishes, management is very limited because the resources allocated to this field are not enough, it is impossible to always remind and punish others, it can only rely on self-awareness. Unfortunately, gambling seems to teach people more effectively than a harsh person like the government, a section of the youth are following this seductive lead and are throwing away their future path.

There is no reason to say that Gambling is bad for society even it may contribute to being affected nationally. Gambling not only affects the people who are gambling and as it is related to money it affects the members of the family, friends, relatives, and later on the nearest people, and in this way, it affects the whole of society.

I think, what makes it bad is because the gambler himself has a bad attitude, because with the bad results he gets in gambling until they do something negative. Thus, they say gambling is bad even though in reality the gambler himself is the one who makes gambling seen as bad, because it has a negative impact. But, if the gambler can control his emotions well then I am sure that the gambler and gambling will not be seen as bad when they have good control over themselves. With that reason, then at least I do not blame gambling entirely, because what makes it bad is those who have excessive emotions.

bad risk management I'd say, no amount of luck will beat a bad enough risk management if you give the situation enough time to unroll
it's sad that some people risk and lose it all but we have to remember that is their responsibility after all

crazy how the world is...

Yes I agree with you that geographically in many societies gambling is considered a bad habit yet there is a large number of gamblers. People who gamble are socially isolated and viewed negatively, but controlled gambling can be positive for people. For example gambling should be considered by people as a form of entertainment which is not only a source of income but many people consider it as a source of income and lot of lost money. He is in social and family disaster. If a gambler can allocate a limited amount of money for gambling, he can allocate spare time to gambling in addition to meeting family needs.

Crazy it is and those that have been winning great but then are bad with risk management, that money that they've got will be gone in the wind quickly.
They think that luck comes at most times where in fact that it's not. And that's why every profit that someone makes from the bets that they do should be taken care of properly.

Yes I think that's for sure, in any case when for example someone has a way to get something but they don't have any tools to keep something they've got then obviously in the end it won't take long for it to be lost again, and in the case of gambling usually yes the amount of winnings is lost again in the game. In this matter I think there are several things that need to be fixed first, the first is knowing and understanding about how the chances of winning in gambling actually are, make sure that you know that the name of the opportunity is nothing more than a possibility and not a certainty, and what you must also understand is that there is no connection between the previous results and the next results, in the sense that even though now you win for example it doesn't mean you will win again if you continue. And also know that the name of the risk will continue to lurk as long as you play, and I'm pretty sure that this understanding and knowledge can make you ignore greed.

People say gambling is bad for the society because the society consist of people that lacks self control 

Who is to be blame? For every decisions that humans made it is on us if we succeeded or fumbled, if you get out on the street and kill a man you will be jailed, it is a decision that you made yourself, it is the same with gambling.

A gun can take a life and also protect lives, even weapon of mass destructions were built to scare enemies away, to leave a country alone in peace.

Gambling can make or break you, make sure you can handle it, if you can't you are free to leave.

It's everybody's choice what to do with that knowledge and possibilities at hand. You are right.

Of course toying the path of gambling responsibly is an individual choice because I knew some gamblers with reference to soccer betting who knows what they are doing when gambling that is they only gamble with the amount of money they can afford to lose and some of those gamblers use their proceed from betting to support themselves thus I don't categorize those responsible gamblers as bad to the society, though we have addicted gamblers who had painted gambling in a bad light but I believe they are very few and we wouldn't use them to categorize gambling as bad to the society.

It would really be just that common sense on having this way on which it would really be that understandable that you would really be needing up your own
approach on things on which it would really be that relevant on the time or moment that you do found yourself on such condition. Gambling is bad to society?
Not its not and it is really just that on the actions taking up by someone on why they do really end up with that kind of situation.

Gambling should really be just that for fun but they do really ends up on having that kind of condition on where they are really that trying out to make money
on which this one would primarily causes up for someone to play up even more they are really that having that greed in mind.

There is a lot of empirical evidence this is the case, as even those that win a big jackpot or the lottery soon enough find themselves facing all kinds of financial trouble despite all of the money they got, and it is not surprising this is the case, since they do not know the amount of effort that it would have taken to earn that money by working hard, so they spend that money thinking that it is never going to run out, until one day it does and they are left with a lot of debts they cannot pay.

[$weetne$$]

If anyone thinks otherwise I will like to ask them to mention any source of making money that has no risk, the reason why gambling could be bad for a society is because the society consist of idiots only and even their government is aware of it, to me this is a big shame for them, they should know that gambling comes with it own risks.

There is no source of making money that does not have risks but gambling is not a source of making money and should be a source for fun not money. Many people have turned gambling to a source of making money because, things are getting too expensive and there are no jobs available because many people are losing the jobs they have already but no new opening are being announced. People have decided to rely on gambling as a way to make money and this is making them to gamble in a wrong way because they want to make money by all means. I do not agree that gambling is bad for the society but it is the society that are gambling in the wrong way and they are making gambling to look very bad. If they gamble in a responsible way, they would not be making the society to hate gambling.

Sometimes poverty could affect the way a particular region do gamble. I don't mean people gamble because of poverty but sometimes, when people don't have a job they could see gambling as the only source of income which could make others to join so that they can make earns meat for their family. When people depend on gambling for survival, it usually have a big effect on them with time. I believe when most people are employed, the rate of gambling would be less and not often and that do not mean that their would not be gamblers around the corner always ready to keep gambling for bigger profits.

Out of irresponsible gambling an addict is always born, and this doesn't leave greediness behind,  you don't need to control people to be a responsible gambler, they say curiosity kill the cat, only one way to find out, you can't do a mistake with gambling and not learning in an instant what gambling is all about, only stupid people fall at the messy of gambling.

I agreed with what you said but why do you think that when an investment is too risky, they consider it as gamble? That's because there is not an assurance that your money will come back, this is what differentiate gambling and other risk investment. The moment you place that money and eager it, consider that money to be gone even though there is some probability of the money coming back to you.

Gambling is risky and you can lose everything but it can't be denied that people haven't made it from the way. Some gamblers has retired their parent by given them what they want and live the life they want to live and all the money is from gambling, they don't have any means than gambling and God bless them, they do won huge amount of money some companies don't make in a year from a single bet.

We know that everything has both positive and negative effects, gambling is no exception. Gambling plays some role in the economic development of the society and the country. In particular, the government receives a special economic development tax from gambling. However, when considered individually in the society, gambling is very harmful especially when considering the members of a middle class and lower class family. In order to manage gambling money, he is seen creating various social problems and does not hesitate to commit heinous crimes like theft, robbery and even murder. In my opinion, gambling does more harm than good to people.

the gambling that generate economy for the country is a gambling website or platform that operate with license but so many of them who does not operate with license does not pay a tax to a government because they are illegal gambling platform so I believe that some of them that operate in such way does not have any economic boost up to the Country or to the government  of them who operates legally are the one that I have a positive sign to the Country they reside on, I'm not kicking against your theory but I have to express my feeling.

Speaking about tax and other aspect then it would really be something that a normal thing and something that beneficial specially if tax generated by these business is really that huge then it would be something
that helpful in towards countries economy on which this is the positive impact that it could give out in speaking about economical aspect but in focusing about citizens concern or condition then it would really be molding up that potential gambling addicts within the place and we do know that this is one of the main effects if its really that been legalized or allowed but well addiction is something a personal choice.
It would really be only that bad on the time that they will really becoming themslves on being addicted into it and this is something that will really be that on main concern when it comes to this.

Gambling would really be that only bad on the sense that people would really be making themselves having that kind of dealing or involvement on which on excessive manner. On the moment that they would really be doing such action or decision then this is where issues would really be starting to raised up. We do know that when it comes into this aspect then it would really be having such effects.

The gambling site which was legal in the some of the countries,in that country alone the gambling site pay the taxes to the government.In rest of the country the gambling site was work by using the vpn to pay and the gambling site will not pay the taxes to that country even they generate income through the gambling site.So this was illegal one in that country,the better way to generate money from the gambling is make this legal by the government and get the taxes legally from the gambling site and finally use the taxes for the people welfare.

       -        If the result is not good for a gambler, it cannot be considered good for society, especially if the gambling that a player plays in a casino is illegal. Gambling is also sometimes given a wrong interpretation.

Especially for the particular poor people who have no hope in life and then they see hope that gambling is the solution for them to get out of the depressed state of poverty they are facing and something that is not also correct.

I agree with your perspective. While gambling can bring about an economic contribution through taxes, the harm caused to individuals and society, especially in the lower and lower classes, is very devasting. The presence of a gambling addiction can cause different social issues to take shape, like increasing crime, as a by-product rather than the primary reason one started. Typically, in the long-term, social and personal losses from gambling are far greater than any economic benefits that might be reaped.

I hear you. Licensed gambling platform does contribute to the state via taxes and fosters this economy. Illegal gambling sites, on the other hand, are not only evading taxes but can also cause harm to the economy and society. Legal ways of supporting regular gambling are important so that states and citizens can enjoy the benefits.But behind the benefits gained, we also consider other negative impacts, so that even though the gambling platform provides a significant contrubus and has the development of a country, still the gambling platform needs to be limited to prevent things that we don't want.

Taxes are collected only in countries where gambling is legalized but in countries where gambling is not legal how do you explain the positive side of gambling.

For example, my country Bangladesh has not legalized gambling but there are millions of gamblers in my country who are always involved in street theft and robbery.

But I would say whatever the positive side of gambling is, gambling is really a curse in low income countries like my country of Bangladesh.
