Is gambling bad to the society?

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.

As far as I can remember, I think you usually can have a legal representative to go fetch the prize for you.

They will have the ticket on their hands, but they are representing you legally. So in that way you get the ticket but they don't get to see you.

It protects the privacy of the people that will end up winning a lot of money. Rich people do these kinds of things all the time. They value their privacy.

Honestly, I have never seen anything like this, they always show the winners on Sundays, say where they bought the ticket and sign their name and surname at the bottom. However, you made me think that you can always refer to illness and send someone else instead of yourself.
The main thing is that he cannot then dispose of the prize, because then it will be a funny situation. I think in this case you need to write receipts at a notary.
And even if it is not easy, the big money is worth it.

In simple terms, I actually think that the good and bad of gambling always depends on how society as an individual treats the activity.
Basically, gambling is a risky activity, but gambling will not be too high risk or have a bad impact if someone treats it in the right way, such as not exceeding their ability which is often suggested by many people here.

This means that I think it is clear that gambling can only have a bad impact when a gambler comes with the wrong mindset and method, such as wanting to make a lot of money for example, but when you gamble moderately in the sense of not exceeding your ability by only betting the minimum amount according to the money you can afford to lose every time you gamble, then I think gambling will not have too bad an impact.

Who is the government without the people? the society should not, always, place in, all troubles to the government, and not join in fixing it—Harassment is a felony with about a year prison charge in some countries. And it’s not the type of crime that people who are getting hurt would sit back and watch it continue happening. They’ll need to find a way and straighten it out, till the government shows up. So, more people will not get hurt. A close-by local police station can be disturbed to reach the government’s attention on this...

Yes, but that Applies to countries where the Police forces are in favor of their People , sometimes these police forces are so corrupt that they do not care at all what happens to their people , and how things are like this, the Government also only cares about What they can do with money for the benefit of themselves , Therefore every time we see this type of Action we can Only say that if the Forces are not correct it is likely that things will work , in my Country they do not work , and the people do not Have Weapons , so it is somewhat difficult.

That is right because society will evaluates and have consideration how much money they will use to play gambling. If they thinks that gambling have risk for losing the money, they will not use too often. They will know how to treat gambling without risking too much money.

Gambling can only be used for have fun so when people in that society use for making money, they must prepare with the lose. They may lose much money when they don't have control so that makes them to be careful when gambling. When many people in that society can see gambling as a term of having fun, they will not getting deeper.

Yes, we must not spend much money and only use the money we can afford to lose. That will prevent us from the big lose while we can enjoy gambling as an entertainment.

I agree with your statement that we should see casino as a place for entertainment. However, if we compere casino with some other services to entertain people, that we will see, that other options. for example, video games, bowling, shooting contests, they all give you something in return for your money. You actually have an opportunity to spend some sufficient time having fun or purchasing something you will own in the end.

But the thing with casino is that you will have fun, no doubts, but you will be satisfied only your money multiplies. If you lose, you will probably regret playing those games or you will feel sorry for your loss. Those emotions are much more negative, then losing in a video game, for example. And when we have to deal with such strong bad feelings, it is hard to say that they are part of an entertaining process.

This is another way to make money which many people are trying their luck to make money without going to do fraud just to feed their families. I would prefer a community or society that would rather gamble or play games to make money for themselves and take care of their families compared to a society that depends on fraudulent active or drug deal to maintain the inflow of money. I don't see anything wrong with playing games to fund for the family because it is another legal way to make money if one is actually smart and know tricks of earning consistently without rigging the process.

Of course losses are an integral part of the entertainment process. The hope of winning and winning itself bring us positive emotions, but as we all know gambling is not possible without losing because it is a zero sum game. That is why I believe that losing, although it brings negative emotions, it is also part of the entertainment process.

Besides, winning in a video game does not bring as much vivid emotions as winning in a gambling game. Because in a video game you risk only your time.

I think, if the crime can still be resolved peacefully, it might not deter the perpetrator and will repeat the same mistake. But indeed, more often the police will not move if no money is received and if that happens, then of course the community will suffer greatly because there is no more justice upheld. But if it is related to crimes due to losing in gambling, for me gamblers should indeed be given advice or perhaps guided if necessary. Because committing crimes due to the impact of losing in gambling, it is clearly a bad action as a gambler.

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...

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.

that's true
making money on a bull run is not hard, the challenge is to keep it
I think that trying to make a living out of betting is probably not worth it, better to work on something
specially because making money out of gambling only will create many bad habits and addictions

better to keep a healthy distance from it and don't use it a lot

Gambling is for leisure time and entertainment and if it comes to a moment that you are already having those kind of intents in mind that gambling is really that making you thinking that this is some sort of money making or income or make a living with it then this is where shit things happen and this is something that you must avoid.Dont make yourself be that having this kind of behavior because it will really be just that making you desperate and this what makes people having this kind of bad situations just because they are really that treating gambling on the wrong way on which it shouldnt really be supposedly to be this way. Its really that important that you should really know at least on the things that you are really that doing and be sensible about on the possibilities that could happen if you do engage up too much.

It is really that important at least that you should be making yourself responsible for whatever actions that you would be taking. Never ever make yourself having that kind of intent or assumptions that you could make yourself rich with gambling because this is mostly the perception of people on the moment that they do gamble on which this is really very wrong. Gambling isnt bad to society, it is really just that peoples actions and decisions the are main things what considers to be a bad thing just because of too much expectation or anticipations on becoming rich then this is why they do fall up themselves on getting addicted just because
of those wrong thinking and expectations. This is why when you do gamble then think off on how you would be able to enjoy it and never ever having that chasing up loses kind of behavior.

Emotions is something which is really that hard to control and this is why its really that important that you should really know on what  you should gonna do on the time or moment that you do find yourself having that kind of engagement with gambling because there would really be those times or moment that you would really be that become impulsive on the time that you do gamble on which this is something which is part of a human being on which its normal to have this kind of reactions. This is why it would really be that important that you should really that know at least on what are the things that you would gonna do because on the moment that you would be letting yourself get that influenced by your emotions and having no good control of it, then you are really that prone into tons of bad decision making and this is something that you should avoided in the first place.

The behavior of people towards gambling is directly related to the way and manner at which they react to gambling activities and gamblers. Gambling is not an outrightly wrong thing to practice. The only problem that we have is the mindset of the people and how some people take gambling beyond a thing of fun. People have lost their sanity over gambling off-records. People who gamble are meant to be aware of the risks in it so as to caution themselves on the kind of games they play and their level of risk-taking.

I want you to know that there are some people in the society that will never agreed to what the society think. Their own perception and beliefs is what they used to judge people and their society. I hope you know that gambling is a sin to some religion people, so there is nothing to will say that will make you change their mind and perception about gambling, if they see you doing gambling they see you as a bad person before they and their believe.

As an individual, what people think about my gambling lifestyle is none of their business because is what I believe and I know that I'm not addicted. If at some point I become addicted, there are people that will tell me and I will listen to them because they will never lie to me when it comes to gambling. The society really need to adjust to the way things are rapidly changing.
