Is gambling bad to the society?

[LUCKMCFLY]

But in countries where gambling is not legal and usually the lower classes participate in gambling, there is a risk of organized criminal activities.

And that's what really happens, it's always like that, because I think that if we start from the fact that when they prohibit something from us, it becomes a challenge, because things are like that and they apply to everything, in the case of prohibited countries, where they don't have the right to play in a casino because their governments have declared it so, it seems absurd to me and it seems like a dictatorship to me, because it's fun, it's like they told you what you Should spend your money on and what you shouldn't, or how you should have fun, that's something that doesn't make sense to me and that's the reason why sometimes these acts of doing casinos become such a thing.

It is true that people are more curious about things that are banned by the government. Assuming that some forbidden things like smoking cigarettes are completely forbidden and harmful to health, people also know that smoking cigarettes damages several vital organs including lungs. Since it is banned people are more curious about cigarettes and most of the people have an attraction towards cigarettes.  Similarly, in countries where gambling is prohibited, gambling becomes a challenge and most people take this challenge as a target.

in the friendship cycle, of course, for now, it is no longer foreign to gambling, even though it is online gambling. in every friendship cycle, of course, one of them already knows and has often gambled and indirectly, of course, this one can influence the others, in my opinion, this has become a big certainty. but for the government, in my opinion, it will not be able to completely prohibit online gambling, in some cases in my country there are online gamblers or people who spread online gambling platforms who have been arrested but this does not reduce the number of people who gamble online, so I think there is no point in the government prohibiting online gambling, maybe this gambling should just be legalized.
well that's it, I agree with you. indeed gambling itself is not bad, it's just their bad behavior towards gambling where many people abuse gambling such as considering it as a source of income, or when they don't have enough money but have a small amount of money they think of doubling it in gambling, this is a mistake that I think often occurs in people's mindsets.

Betting with your friend goes beyond winning or losing. A little "risk is okay" nudge. That push changes everyone's thinking in your organization. It goes beyond peer pressure. Actions and choices shape the group's reality. Of course, the government can't kill online gambling. It goes beyond stubborn gamblers. Policies that neglect the complex social, economic, and psychological causes making this happen

We should educate instead of ban. Encourage critical decision-making. Not a last resort, gambling becomes a choice. To change the relationship. Gambling is fun, not lifesaving. It demands limits and self-awareness like any amusement. Empowering individuals to make better choices creates real change, not rules. All for themselves and crew. There we begin

You are right, when they are addicted to gambling, they will likely become stubborn even when the government has issued a ban on online gambling, but that will not stop them. The cycle of friendship can be carried away when there is something interesting, especially with the side of profit, then most likely everyone will follow along because of course at the age of adulthood, profit is the thing that everyone wants most.
I agree with you, maybe what should be done is to educate, not prohibit. Because usually when someone is prohibited, it will make their curiosity arise greatly and of course they will do it to satisfy their curiosity by ignoring the risks even though they already know that the risks are quite large. Gambling is not wrong because it can bring pleasure when we do it healthily, but when we do it with a little mistake such as expecting profit from gambling, it will make our feelings chaotic with the results that occur inversely to expectations and that triggers addiction.
This is what must be avoided because actually gambling is not completely bad.

If any gambler goes against their will and enters a win they will face a loss, but I have seen most gamblers fall into this situation.  Those who enter excessive winnings and gambling addictions suffer the most losses, and gambling all night when they return home empty-handed immediately starts a family feud.  Gamblers usually have the most poverty in their homes, because the gambler is busy at work and the neighbor of the distressed gambler is busy.  So it is not easy to earn from gambling, that's why the family is always in trouble.

That is why the most important thing for a gambler to consider is to set aside a fixed amount of money and refrain from participating beyond a fixed period of time. You have to develop a habit of living within limits and restrictions so that it doesn't cross the line and become addictive. The all-night gambling is definitely unusual, ruining him financially and causing social and family turmoil. Gambling is not bad but a gambler must play responsibly. If one considers gambling as one of the means of earning money, disaster will follow in every case.

Then it turns out that if something is money related, that every person must be responsible, not only in gambling. As it did not take much to spend whole monthly salary on things that a person dont really need that much. With excess spending, everything can be blamed as bad for society. Imo there is nothing bad for society (with some exceptions), as long as person understand what he is doing with his money.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

        -      Many lives have been ruined because of gambling, especially in online casinos, and I have watched many documentary stories of former gambling addicts who ruined their lives. There are others who became addicted and became addicted to gambling who used to be rich and had a had a big salary, but when he got addicted to the online casino, he gradually sold the things, cars, and jewelry that he had left behind.

So maybe this is one of the reasons why the society of every country is becoming bad, but if you are a disciplined gambler but you are not an addict, I don't think you will end up in this situation.

Gambling is generally blameless in the eyes of society and a threat to the family. Because a gambler apart from earning for his family, he is busy gambling due to which the family members starve. A gambler cannot control his family properly, as a gambling addict gambles and loses and becomes a threat to the family. Where the society family and relatives are all very much towards this gambling, because when a gambler enters gambling he is known as the last most hated person in the society.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

I am not a expert who can talk about the impact of gambling on society. But I can talk about the impact on individuals. Because I have my own experiences with it. When I gamble, I feel happy and I see gambling as part of my pursuit of entertainment. When I gamble knowing my responsibilities and knowing my financial limits, gambling never harms me. If I gamble ignoring my responsibilities, gambling harms me. If I gamble with my house rent, gambling harms me. If I gamble ignoring my financial limits, gambling harms me. If I gamble with more money than I have budgeted for entertainment, gambling harms me.

So I think we can conclude that what is bad is not gambling but gamblers who treat gambling in the wrong way so that in the end it has a bad impact on themselves and the people around them such as the family members you mentioned, that's true.
Gambling is a risky activity, winning always depends on luck and losing is part of the game, meaning we can't force victory to always come, even though losing is part but when you have a good approach and know how to manage and control your gambling activities then you will not experience bad impacts like gamblers who are now in the addiction phase.

Therefore, this is why we are always advised to gamble based on understanding and limits that are in accordance with our abilities, or in other words, never try to pursue something that is uncertain, because only luck can bring you victory, the point is that everything will not be too bad if you know your limits.

Basically, setting limits on the amount of money bet and the time spent gambling are two important things to prepare or a plan that must be had by someone when they are involved in gambling.
But I believe that saying is always much easier than practicing, meaning that before you enter into the plan, there is something you must do first, namely conducting research and assessment to identify what and how gambling really is.
It is none other than because I believe that someone will never want to do anything they do not know even though there are many people who suggest doing so, they do not yet know that prioritizing prevention in gambling is something that must be more focused on by a gambler considering that gambling can be very high risk.

Not that people take the ban as a target, it's actually a target and it's targetted on the people because of either religion or traditional beliefs, and even also the government belief which is not convenient. My brother, there is nothing like freedom, no one should disallow you to do whatever you want to do because they have religious or political power, you own your life, and you should be in control of it.

For instance, I want to gamble as other people gamble in their countries but my country is not allowing me, how convenient is that?  The same goes for the smoking you mentioned, though it's bad for health, some people smoke and live longer than those who do not smoke, while some people will have access to it but will choose not to smoke due to the possible risk of doing it. It should be our choice, the aspect of the government is to create risk awareness and sensitise people not to do it rather than forcefully banning it entirely.

Must we live their lifestyle?

Recently I heard an interesting and relevant expression: "a gambler does not suffer, he enjoys, and his relatives suffer."
On the one hand, I agree with these words, because if a gambler continues to play and continue his problematic path of gambling, then he clearly likes it.
But on the other hand, we have all heard many times that every gambler says that his personality is split into two - the old personality and the problem player. Therefore, I think that gamblers also suffer.

It is a bit true, but also a bit not true, in the sense that the gambler enjoys it in the moment, but doesn't enjoy it in the long term.

The same with their family and friends, they don't get to even enjoy the moment, they only see the negatives of it.

So, in a way, it is a very selfish act if you have people depending on you.

Because from the government's perspective, they synthesize and analyze more benefits and harms, the consideration shows that this should be a banned product but on the user's side, this product does not cause significant harm, even if it happens, they still receive different comfortable states, and the question arises why are there two sides opposing and accepting like that, it is like a way of advertising to new people with curiosity and searching, once they feel suitable, they will ignore information from the government

This assertion can also be gamblers enjoy, and their relative also benefits. We have cases where a gambler wins big, and his family also enjoys it. Gamblers have started businesses for friends and relatives from big wins. Gambling becomes a problem only when it is abused. The only gambler who makes his family suffer because of his losses is not responsible. Every gambler should take responsibility for his actions and not let his family suffer because of his excesses.

I am not a expert who can talk about the impact of gambling on society. But I can talk about the impact on individuals. Because I have my own experiences with it. When I gamble, I feel happy and I see gambling as part of my pursuit of entertainment. When I gamble knowing my responsibilities and knowing my financial limits, gambling never harms me. If I gamble ignoring my responsibilities, gambling harms me. If I gamble with my house rent, gambling harms me. If I gamble ignoring my financial limits, gambling harms me. If I gamble with more money than I have budgeted for entertainment, gambling harms me.

You just spoke the simple truth. Every gambler should put his basic needs first before seeking entertainment from gambling. A man who needs to buy food for his family wouldn't use such funds to buy a cinema ticket. This also applies to gambling; my family has never been against my gambling activities because they have never lacked what they need due to my betting budget.

[bitzizzix]

Whether it is good or bad for society depends on the gambler himself.
If they gamble because they feel the need, or because they expect a big win, or to get extra income and use the money for important needs, then don't gamble.
But if you gamble to relax, have fun, and enjoy the atmosphere just for fun without using important money, I think it's okay and go ahead if it will make you happy. In addition, there are limits that you must avoid and also know, especially limiting the amount of money you bet when gambling.
However, gambling will still be looked down upon by society. Because most people gamble just to make money that makes them lose control when gambling and destroys them, and that makes society judge gambling as a bad thing which is actually the gambler's fault.

Yeah, it depends as you say.

So, if the gambler has a big issue with gambling, then yeah, society ends up having some issues as well.

But if the gambler uses gambling as a simple entertainment, then there is no notable harm in society at all.

[bubilas]

Unfortunately, society does not like those who have won a lot of money.
In the country where I live there is a common saying "happiness is only in silence". And these are very wise words, because if someone tells everyone about their jackpot, they are attracting big problems!
I understand that if someone wins a large sum of money, they will not be able to keep it a secret for long, because everything will be visible from their purchases. But we need to try not to talk too much and take care of our safety.

In many lotteries, especially National ones, there is a condition that the winner must show his face and wave to the camera, holding a check with a huge amount of money won. And it is clear that no one wants such fame throughout the country, because all the poor friends and relatives will hate him, but such conditions are mandatory. After all, the sponsor of the lottery sees this as a huge promotion: all people will imagine themselves in the place of this lucky person and will also go and buy tickets for this lottery.
And the sponsors do not care that they are making life difficult for the winners of this lottery with such an interview.
