We've seen a lot of things enough to consider why gambling must exist. Maybe we just correct our views that gambling is bad because this also helps other people. We don't just focus on the bad things like addiction and debts that a person may commit by being an irresponsible gambler but also, must see the benefits it gives to the community and in our personal lives.  

Employment and socialization are key importance of gambling that have really turned out beneficial to the society and even gamblers when put to consideration, gambling most have been see mostly for it's negative effects a d only a few times have it been considered of a few good benefits that we can talk about to the society a d not the casino alone. Some time ago, there was a thread about the health benefit of gambling and for those who actually gamble for such purpose it was proven to have helped them.

A few persons would have been jobless technically if there were no casinos, this could be directly or indirectly. For the people who got a job to work at the casino, they are directly benefiting the provision of a job opportunity by the casino because they get paid by the casino by virtue of the service they render to the casino and this cuts across several departments.in the casino, the cashiers down to the people in charge of all technicalities and logistics which keeps the casinos running daily, they all get paid by the casino, a d for players who have secured a full time job off gambling, they are a beneficiary of the casino been a job opportunity for them.

People out there do seize the opportunity to making new friends and meeting new People with whom they build their social network at the casinos, this can happen online and offline too but then it creates that leveling ground sometimes for these people to meet and get to socialize whence from they gat to build a network beyond gambling, for some they meet business partners and others they get new friends who benefits them in the nearest future all works together for the purpose of socialization.

It's helping provide employment opportunities to those who work in those gambling offices; they help the economy of that country a little by lifting up and reducing the rate of unemployment. That's not arguable.
 
In the aspect of income generation and supporting the gambling industry, I happen to put both in the same place. The gamblers are helping the casino owners generate more funds to feed their homes, pay their staff salaries, and also have some left to sponsor their luxury lifestyle.
 
On the other hand, those doing that might be suffering and losing it, or in other words, for the other team to win, those things seen as having a having a positive impact can also turn out to be negative depending on who you ask and the betting behaviour of that gambler.

It’s good that you had to bring this up as I hardly see any positive narrative towards the field yet, it remains a thriving field in our everyday society, one that has seen immense growth and continues to grow even better as time progresses. So yeah, you haven’t to bring up this to talk about a much neglected or not looked about aspect of gambling is actually encouraged.

Now it’s important to note that, your intentions and prospects towards the activity highly determines how the result of gambling can affect you in your appreciation of the field. Though you might have your money at stake on a bet, you can be having a combo of fun, enhancing your social life and earning some money even as you play. If your all about the money, you really would be grinding when you loss, I tell you that.

1. Socialization
 

The aspects that interest me most is the social impactation (socialization) yeah I have a good number of friends that I have met in the gambling center, and I can also testify of a friend that got a job from a friend that he made in the gambling center, gambling brings people  together and increase togetherness to people that never new that they are going to meet in this life. Since gambling is a fun play or for excitement most times when am angry I will go to one of the gambling center in my community on getting there, you will see different people with different characters while gambling and at the end I will be smiling and I will go home more happier than I came and that is my experience and I believe others might have the same too.

That pretty much sums up most things though, except for 4 ofc since that's pretty specific. Wouldn't really consider them as such, the most important thing in stuff like gambling is just to have fun after all. It's why it's labeled most of the time as part of the entertainment sections and stuff.

I'd reckon the sooner people realize that the sooner they'd wake up from telling themselves that them gambling is actually helping someone since that actually sounds like a method an addict would do/say to themselves to justify gambling lol. Not gonna deny that those are positives, just that it's not exactly unique to gambling.

Maybe the reason we read about gambling in a negative way is because it greatly outweighs the positive? In any case, while describing the positive aspects of gambling, it would be useful, in parallel, to voice the negative ones, so that readers can compare both in order to weigh the value provided by this type of activity.

1. Socialization

Socialization from gambling, when does this industry move online? Can this be called good socialization when gamblers stay glued to their smartphones?

If you want socialization, get off the couch go out and talk to people.

2. Income Generation

Or is it still losses? I would love to look at the income statistics of gamblers if they existed, but then all the casinos would go bankrupt.

If you want income, go work/get busy.

3. Employment

Isn’t this a useless waste of time that could be used to improve your professional skills and value as a specialist, which ultimately would directly affect your standard of living?

If you don’t know how to spend your free time, go study.

4. Support to the Gambling Industry

Or the owners of this industry? Do you enjoy sponsoring their yachts and lambos?

If you want to support the industry, just make a donation at the casino. This will save your time.

We've seen a lot of things enough to consider why gambling must exist. Maybe we just correct our views that gambling is bad because this also helps other people. We don't just focus on the bad things like addiction and debts that a person may commit by being an irresponsible gambler but also, must see the benefits it gives to the community and in our personal lives.

It all depends on the perspective of perception. Gamblers see the gambling industry in a positive light to justify their hobby (no one admits to wasting time on nonsense and trying to make it meaningful). Opponents of gambling (or those who have realized the harm of it after going through all 9 circles of hell of gambling addiction) are unlikely to agree with the benefits of gambling.

That is what you looks in offline casino. But if you don't often playing gambling in offline casino but online casino, you don't have socialize with others because you can only talks to them by chat. You will not see who they are although you playing gambling together with them in a gambling table.

It is better to socialize with other people using other ways instead gambling because that will gives you the different excitement. You will have a chance to prevents losing your money in gambling. When people comes to casino, they wants to spends their money and not talks each other although they can playing gambling while talks to others.

If you lose your money in casino, I don't thinks you will becomes more happier. You will be sad because you lose your money and meet other people in casino and socialize with them will not helps you to overcome your sadness.

Gambling is such a bad word when people hear it, even though we who are involved in gambling can know that gambling is not what those who consider gambling the worst activity think.
I consider these four points to be the positive side of gambling that we are discussing.

Sometimes it is true that we should not immediately accuse something that we have never been involved in.
I also sometimes can't understand why people still think so negatively about gambling.

Yes, that's right, socialization is one of the positive sides of gambling, especially when you gamble in a physical casino, where, as you said, we will meet lots of people with different characters and personalities, which of course there are. positive benefits in an environment like that where as you said, your friend managed to get a job where the job information was obtained from someone they had just met at a physical casino, but on the other hand I will not close my eyes that this situation could also be It creates a negative side when you meet and build social relationships with the wrong people.

Another thing is that yes, I think the opportunity to build or improve social relationships with many people will only be possible if you have the habit of gambling at a physical casino, but if it turns out you prefer to gamble at an online casino then I think there is little chance for you to can socialize with other people, there is no togetherness there, and I rarely see people inviting other people to gamble at online casinos at the same time and place to liven up the atmosphere unless they are people they have known for a long time.

When a gambler really has a proper understanding of how and what gambling activities are all about, then of course I am sure that all the actions they take will never exceed their limits, especially if they see the downturns that gamblers always experience. are already addicted, which can make them more assertive in implementing various preventive measures in their gambling approach.

And also they will definitely be able to feel the real pleasure of gambling, but if it turns out the situation is like what you said, that they always only pursue the positive side in the sense of chasing victory in gambling then of course simply put they are gamblers who don't have the right understanding, they They only see the opportunities but don't really realize that gambling is risky, even though they have experienced a lot of losses but strangely they still don't realize their mistakes in treating gambling too much.

You're only scraping the surface, brother. Gambling is about more than chances and chance; it reveals our fundamental, often stupid, selves. Our brains want risky rewards. That's your person. Gambling mechanics are one thing, but the emotional rollercoaster is another. Dopamine surge and potential win are intoxicating, I know. The high typically ends in a crash, reminding us of the foolishness of luck

Solutions are beyond loss management. Dealing yourself in the emotional chaos. Gambling tests your limits and shows you what you're made of, not just profits. As an emotional investment, it helps you understand your psychology and self-control. Bro, that's the win. Not a cash amount, but insight into your psyche

And the biggest mistake that gamblers make is that they continue to maintain their stupidity, always thinking that "once again I will definitely win", spinning in the delusion of their own minds, and all of this happens due to high hopes of winning, and these hopes arise because from the start they didn't really understand what and how gambling actually was, this was because from the start they were too focused on the chance of winning to the point of ignoring the risks that would actually always be a part of gambling.

They like the dopamine spike as you mentioned, but they have the wrong way of getting it, namely an overly aggressive approach, and the problem is that apart from wanting the dopamine spike they also want a lot of money so this is what triggers more problems, because if there isn't one The goal is to make money by force, so they will still be able to get a surge of dopamine, especially when luck comes at the right time. But unfortunately, for gamblers who have misunderstood gambling from the start, they only look at the chances of winning. I understand your last idea that it is not about getting more money, but success is when someone is able to control themselves not to exceed their limits.

There are many people who think that I have no personal money. If I win gambling, I will donate money to various social activities. Giving charity is true and sincere giving. If you want to help someone or give charity, you don't have to do it with money earned through haram means, and if you donate with money earned through haram means, Allah does not accept that donation.

[bangjoe]

Well, I think we need to understand how gambling affects those factors.

How do we even know how gambling contributes to socialization between communities?

In what ways does gambling help generate income? Is it just employment opportunities or are there other ways?

What support does gambling even need?

I think these questions make me even think more about the topic but the main reason I want to reiterate is how would responsible gambling be the main takeaway with everything? I believe it's always going to be the reason because it affects so many people that's why the outlook is always on the negative with gambling.

Regarding the issue of socialization as in this forum you talk with people who like to gamble also with different countries and it will add to your social environment or your relationship, one day maybe you can promise a time to meet together and your friends are getting wider, the interpretation may be more about the success of gamblers who can change their lives from a fortune and or from jobs such as marketing or gambling admin, it may be quite normal, and support that they are accepted as a place of entertainment for some people, if you talk about regulation it may be too far but we are talking about benefits here. But sometimes people take things the wrong way even if they are right but that's not what was intended.

There are many benefits of gambling, but you have mentioned some here which are part of benefits of gambling because gambling have made people to associate with local and foreign gamblers, and it has brought joy into the  life of gamblers. Income generating is another benefits of gambling which some people can't do without gambling, because gambling is the source of their income and they can't stay a day without gamble and it hard for them to lose through out a week, because they have the skills of gambling to earn from their gambling.


Some people have decided to take gambling as an investment, by creating some casino center to employed people who will be attending to gamblers in their casino center and they are making money from the investment like the way some business men and women are making money from their businesses.

Gambling is about people. About relationships. All kinds of people from all walks of life are encountered. Who you might run across (a business partner or a lifelong friend) you never know. That is its best quality. We humans are social animals. We long for connection, excitement, that shared experience. These locations provide that abundantly. They give a break from the daily grind and a feeling of belonging.

Though it can also be a steep slope, gambling can be a great deal of pleasure. Just as with everything else in life, moderation is essential. Folks, know when you're done. Seize not the moment. Make those contacts, enjoy the social environment, but dont let it to become a problem. Recall that balance is key. In the long term, you win by sensibly enjoying the good times.

It's a damn shame, really, how people have swapped real human interaction for staring at screens. Why not emulate the best of traditional casinos online? Virtual reality casinos where you can see other gamblers' avatars, high-five them after a big win, maybe even share a virtual drink. We could revive online's missing community vibe. Enjoy gambling with the ease and accessibility of digital platforms

Some may respond, "You're just trying to make gambling more addictive". My perspective differs. This is about connecting people with technology. We're changing leisure by making even lonely pursuits like gambling social.

I will explain each of this advantage you have listed, to see if all really have advantage.
1 socialization: yes of course it's true that gambling causes socialization as a result of meeting friends due to constant going to the casino shops to play bet or as a result of watching football in a football viewing Centre.

2. Income generation: this may be partially true because it's nearly impossible to win in gambling. People often lose more frequently than win. So loses are more than wining. it cant be seen as Income generation because it's not a job, rather a thing of fun which might Leed to luck of winning and not basically a salary job you would call an I come generation.

3. Employment: gambling creat employment for the average people that work for the casino in bet Shops as agents, also to the online customer service, and also for people that promotes there sites. Ranging from content creator promotion gambling site, affiliate marketers promoting casino, signature campaign for forum members. I accept that also that it creat employment opportunities.

I don't clearly understand what you mean by support to the gambling industry? But whatever you may be explaining may not be far from the no 3 explanation. Because it looks like employment which I earlier said gambling creat employment opportunities for its workers.

Not sure about socialization, because gamblers usually keep their gambling habits a secret or maybe, by gambling at least they usually become a private person. Unless, if they do offline gambling which of course is done in a crowd and together, so they get high socialization. But not all of them, because it depends on the habit of gambling online or ofline and also about generating income I think it is not right, because those who become players or gamblers are very inappropriate if gambling is used as part of income. Different about those who work or become employees at the casino itself, then they get income from their work. But for players or bettors, of course gambling cannot be used as a place for their source of income.

The truth is that they are some folks at there celebrating how gambling as change their lives for the better, and at same time some are complaining on how gambling as ruin their lives. But still it depends on the approach, their are people that normally make use of that term gambling responsibly. While some all they know is how to try all means to hit the jackpot regardless of the risk attached to it .Which most time usually lead to irresponsible gambling habits,

Concerning income generation, honestly u don't see gambling that way because the risk that's attached to it is to much for you to consider it as an income generation, because at same time it can serve as an income drainer, due to losses and stuff, let's just say is a fun activity where we can earn some extra bucks sometimes.

[nimogsm]

Of course, there are also positive aspects of this industry. I agree with the first point, there is indeed a group of people with whom I communicate exclusively at sporting events, since they and I place bets on our favorite teams or, for example, in boxing, and in ordinary life we ​​practically do not contact it's like a hobby group and it's quite positive.

it might end up forming like a hangout friend. who may not have known at first and become acquainted because of gambling. This can happen in several groups that also share predictions for sports betting.
Unfortunately this also has a bad side. when you often meet or interact. there will be one or several of them who will eventually come to you to borrow funds. and you will definitely think about this when you lend money to gamblers, who may be addicted, there is a risk that you will lose your money without betting.

yes, I took this risk into account. Therefore, I have a rule not to give away money, especially for gambling, since the result is most often the same. I have already had a similar experience, after that for me this is an iron rule.At the moment, everything is limited to friendly communication related to sports and nothing more.

[livingfree]

I think it's up to you whether you'd consider that as an income or a win or something to gain.

Think of it as fun and nothing more than that.

Well, much better.

But basically, you gain friends and connections and that can last long or short depending on your communication and relationship with them and on what type of friend you are to them and vice versa.

It's just limited to online friends, but we often communicate exchanging thoughts about gambling this is preferable to talking directly to close friends in physical casinos.

There are people that might prefer some talks personally but in today's period, we'd like to exchange conversations through online.

I guess that there are gamblers that goes to the casinos just to socialize and there's nothing wrong with it.

Yes people are free to do what they want.

Yep, we're all free to do these.

Socialization is a good activity but it can't be only done through gambling or going to a physical casino or chatting in the chat boxes.

If my main goal is to socialize, I'd go with the social media platforms and will go there instead of going to a casino.

It's cheaper and it will take me a lot of friends for sure that are willing to connect and network with me.

We can not socialize when we visit online gambling because we will not meet other people physically but we only see their name on the lists. We can talk to them in the chat box but we can not see them.
I agree with them that we wants to socialize, we can go to social media or we can visits our friend home to talks about anything. We don't have to use gambling to socialize because that can attract us to stay longer on the casino. We must take care of ourselves if we wants to playing gambling so we don't gets any problem in the casino.
We may see the negatives than the positives because we can playing gambling longer without thinks about how to stops our gambling activity. Besides that, we can becomes addicted to gambling if we can not use gambling with right.

Chatting is socializing and that's why there are people that just want to have someone to talk to. Even in random chatboxers, there can be those people that just want to use their time for pastime activities like chatting.
