The benefits of Gambling

Most of the topics we read are mostly mentioning about the negative side of gambling but I think we also discuss the positives of it...

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.
 

I want to support with your idea. We always criticize the negative aspects of gambling but there are also some positive aspects that we must accept. If one does not look for these aspects with his positive vision, then he may not be able to find those good aspects. I can easily relate to some of the things you mentioned.

When I wasn't gambling I had no passion for sports. Currently I take care of various things for betting purposes which increase my knowledge. I want to enjoy any match directly in any gallery. And I have to spend a lot of money getting there and tickets and playing, which of course contributes a little bit to the economy. I will go to another country and enjoy a good match. When I will go outside my country it will definitely help me to gain various knowledge or contribute to my personal knowledge. Also we often say that we lose but we also know that someone is winning there. So how can I view it negatively. Gambling is not only considered negative if a gambler comments on the overall aspect and not just the individual.

You are right, generalizing gambling to be bad or have a negative effect without looking at the positive side it can become very sentimental because just as what you said, at every point when are Lossing definitely some one somewhere is winning too, I can remember paying my school when I was in the college with the money I won from football betting even before my parents think of paying my fees, gambling has also helped to have a more versatile knowledge in football and betting as well, know knowledge they say is a waste let alone my little contribution here in the forum in this gambling section since we shared more of our experience we had or have seen from others, some people are also earning a living by working as a staff in those gambling platforms.

Truly we cannot completely forgotten about the good side of gambling because alot of people have accomplished alot through gambling, though I wouldn't blame those that always focused on the bitter side of it because one thing in life is that you will always talk or judge things based on the experience you have gotten from it, so perhaps that's why we shouldn't blame someone that always sees negativity on gambling because he or she has gone through in the hands of gambling, however it is very obvious that is not everybody that would be favoured by gambling which is why gambling is like a financial breakthrough for most people while for some persons are lost of money.

       -   The majority of people can't really see the good side of gambling because the negative impact of gambling on a gambler is what people often see in this matter. But it's true that, literally, in terms of employment, they have really provided help, but it's only a few compared to the number of people who are still unemployed.

That's why it's better if it's just for me; just keep it to yourself that you're the only one who knows that you're gambling; don't tell others because most people think differently.

Of course, there are also good things in gambling, it’s just that the majority are focused on the negative sides of this business and the players addicted to the game. Sometimes addiction goes so far that the gaming community remembers such cases for a long time.

On the positive side, of course, the provision of jobs is one of the important points in my opinion. Perhaps if it weren’t for work, some of these working personnel would not be able to find themselves in life or realize themselves. You also need to understand that in the end the owner of the casino is the final beneficiary of this and the net profit remains in his wallet, but maybe he deserves it because he took the risk of creating this business and he could easily go bankrupt if something goes wrong necessary.

For me personally, it's a fun little way to pass the time and test my strategies and play with probabilities that can get me on my nerves in a good way.

On the other hand, I hope you can explain in more detail about what benefits we can get from gambling, and what achievements we can get from this activity so that this discussion becomes more direct, or so that we can measure whether it makes sense or not. Accomplished a lot? I think not too much, especially in terms of finances, in the sense that there is no achievement of financial success in gambling because what happens is the opposite, instead of making money but the fact is that people end up running out of more money as time goes by especially when they have wrong approach.

Talking about the benefits of gambling, yes, maybe there are several things that we can get, such as making lots of new friends, especially when we gamble in physical casinos, getting entertainment when we have boring free time, and I think there is nothing more besides just those two, while the rest is the negative side. Overall as we know that the percentage of wins is much smaller than losses, it is natural because gambling is a business for casinos, and that is the reason why the negative impacts in gambling are much greater than the rewards.

But it's true that, literally, in terms of employment, they have really provided help, but it's only a few compared to the number of people who are still unemployed.

It's only for those who have truly studied and understand how gambling works to see the positive impact of it. For those who stay off the table and judge by the attitude and behaviour of those who are addicted to gambling, it will truly be hard for them to believe that there is anything good that can come out of it. 
 
Just like most people who have also been busy reading success stories of some gamblers who have made it out big just by trying out their luck and winning their fortune out of it without further research, most of those people just conclude that gambling is a means to make easy money, which doesn't really work that way.

[dezoel]

The biggest benefit of gambling is they pay taxes to the country where they operated, some countries are depend on gambling income, if gambling got banned there, the country might falls.

That is if the gambling place is legal and registered because illegal gambling is also a hot issue, especially nowadays where gambling is so rampant. Here on my country, I always hear a report about in the radio. The benefit of gambling can also depend on the beneficiary. For us gamblers we can say that it wasn't tax because tax is like an expense.

Basically we don't gain anything from it, but for us it is when we are having fun and then if we are profiting out of it. About the second part or about the casino workers, I won't say it's a skill issue but in fact they can be high-skilled because they are exposed to gambling very often, though this can be a reason on why they are restricted.

Of a truth anything that has an advantage also have disadvantage too. This also is applicable to the gambling industry. So far all I have been hearing about gambling is actually the negative aspect of it and how the society would look at a gambler as irresponsible and addicted. No doubt about it but at least sometimes we should also look at the positive aspect of it and see how it goes.

OP the above itemized list by you is very much  accurate and correct. In the cause of gambling, people tends to meet and make new friends to establish new relationships, with the aim of forging forward in life which can be categorised as socialisation.

However, the government generates revenue from gambling which they use to run the affairs of their institutions and nation as a whole. They make budget and the revenue generated from the casino sometimes serves as back up. So you can see that this is an advantage for the government to get extra source of funding.

Nevertheless, it is true that casinos and gambling house employ staff to run the affairs of the organisation. They pay their staff which is also their salary and also, the government employ staff that would be at work monitoring the activities of the gambling casinos and lots more. So we can see here that there is also advantage from gambling and casino industry that both the government and individuals benefits from.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Gambling is good based on the factors you have listed out, but it seems the negative part of it is very deteriorating, which is why people talk about the negative side more. Ideally, anything that has an advantage  also has a disadvantage. Normally, gambling has its disadvantages, but they are not as bad as people make them out to be. Gamblers allow themselves to be addicted to the point that they may even harm others to fulfill their gambling desires. Some addicted gamblers can sell their property, take loans, stave themselves, and stave their families just to fulfill their gambling desires. It is such people that make gambling look so bad, while its advantage is also very beneficial to so many people. Some people have won a life-changing amount through gambling, and as a result, they were never poor again. Some people too have made good use of the small amount they won, and today their lives are better.

We cannot avoid the negative side of gambling, there are many risks to be faced if we talk about gambling as you mentioned the negative side tends to be higher than the positive side, we have to see where we are if we talk about the negative or positive side of gambling, as a user I agree that there are many negative sides and risks that come from gambling compared to the positive side, as we know and many cases occur that gambling damages the finances of irresponsible gamblers. To the point of depression

On the other hand, as a company or owner who establishes his business in the field of gambling, we cannot close our eyes that gambling can open up job vacancies for other people who work there, to support their families or themselves. be it land-based casinos or online casinos.

This should return to each of us, as users or gamblers we must be wiser in gambling, whether we are able to control ourselves so as not to fall too far in our gambling, here the importance of self-control so that we become responsible gamblers and can bear any risks that we have to take from our gambling.

They do have disadvantages and one of them is being an addicted gambler. But, you are right, it is not as bad as what people think about it. It just looks that way because most of the gamblers who came out are losers. They tell their stories about how much they lose or how unfair the system is and do not even take into account the risk they took when they started betting.
That is the sad reality when it comes to gambling. All fingers are pointed at them when in reality it was us who decided to gamble our money and tested our luck. This is something that made them look bad and those gamblers who lost money will be the victim while the truth is they are the ones who decided to double or triple their money in the first place.

But it's true that, literally, in terms of employment, they have really provided help, but it's only a few compared to the number of people who are still unemployed.

The majority of people in our community call gambling a sin, and that's still related to religion. An open-minded guy will not only see it from one perspective. Everything has good and bad sides. People can use gambling as a way to refresh their minds, but I can't deny that there are also others who use gambling as a way to get rich instantly. 
There's nothing wrong with it caused by anyone's own perception of gambling. 

That's why it's better if it's just for me; just keep it to yourself that you're the only one who knows that you're gambling; don't tell others because most people think differently.

It is better to understand your environment properly because your environment can ostracize you if gambling is something taboo in their minds.

It's all on decisions but the trouble today is the bad publicity it's placing on gambling all over the world. Though with its lesser impact on the gambling or casino business. People need to know or see the benefits of gambling through responsibility. Most people can't imagine of being responsible as a gambler.

That's why they think of gamblers as a game for all irresponsible people. Those who tarnish or help in growing or keeping the bad publicity alive are meant to be helped not blamed. Yes, it's their decisions, but at some point the decision wasn't theirs anymore. They'll find themselves being concerned about repeating same gambling habit over and over.

The fact is that gambling is often viewed negatively rather than positively even though behind it there are interesting things that I think are useful in gambling with say employment but only a small percentage of gambling provides that in addition to some of them may be reluctant to work in gambling.

The same as myself for gambling never involves or talks to other people unless discussing here their perspective is always different when we talk about gambling so that only we ourselves know where the benefits of gambling are.

The majority of countries that prohibit gambling still consider gambling to be a sin, but that is not the negative side because of religious factors and we must respect state and religious regulations, but other countries that legalize gambling have no problem with any rules. I consider gambling to be private because I don't publicize gambling to anyone except the gambling community, so that other people don't judge me from the gambling side when other people gossip about my life, because my environment still considers gambling to be a bad habit and I don't want other people to judge the activity my privacy and I tend not to do some other privacy activities.

We dont have to mention the side benefits of gambling, in classic economics gambling is a major strut in the economy considered one form of industry that is recession proof.   The regularity of Gambling revenue is valuable in comparison to other sectors which retract harshly, taxation and business activity can seriously help a country suffering overall decline at that time.  

People like to label negatives but having discipline in spending applies across the whole consumer industry.  I know people who spend all of their wages on clothes they dont need, beer they dont need to drink or cigarettes that harm their health.  The universal rule to teach a population is always pay bills first then spend what you have left, theres no negatives in having people spending their spare money imo.

Gambling is viewed negatively in my opinion is a natural thing because indeed the stigma about gambling is very bad if someone is already in a very acute addiction that will harm their environment, but we cannot deny that because it is true, but we also cannot deny ourselves that gambling provides benefits to several people, including the one being discussed, one of which is work, yes, although a small percentage of gambling platforms do that, but still that they must have opened up a few jobs.

And indeed gambling does not need to be known by others, especially in an environment where the majority hates gambling, saying it is tantamount to suicide, it will make ourselves get social pressure because of gambling.

Yes, of course, however and whenever we are involved in these activities, various bad possibilities will always lurk us. We can see the impact experienced by gamblers who are addicted, and I think that is normal because after all, when someone is chasing victory or prioritize the idea of ​​"earning" in gambling then that is what they will experience, the reason is obvious because the percentage of wins is much smaller compared to losses. This means that I would say that success in gambling is when someone is able to control their gambling activities well in the sense of not exceeding their limits, and not those who get big wins, because that is something that is most likely only temporary when they cannot manage and control it.

I think the bad effects experienced by addicted gamblers are a natural thing, and their biggest mistake is trying to achieve something big in a place where it is not possible, they don't think rationally that after all no significant results will be produced by little effort, therefore gambling is called an activity of luck.

On the other hand, gambling is a casino business, and such a business will always prioritize various ways to maximize profits, such as carrying out large-scale promotions, meaning they need people to be employed there in any department, whether as admin, marketing or maybe the one who set up the game system. Forget about that, the point is that overall gambling is a negative activity, but if we are able to control it according to our abilities by prioritizing various preventive measures then we will also be able to avoid significant impacts.

That it's beneficial to you doesn't mean it's good.. most people have lost hard-earned funds, commercial buildings, residential buildings, hectares of land and many more of lives & properties, ruining everything and lowering them to nothing, just for making a decision to begin gamble. Well, I mean it's not one's fault that they refuse to learn from previous experiences but, it is what it is....

The only reason why it's still approved in so many countries today is that nobody is compelled to gamble; you can always have a choice and avoid something that wants to swallow you up. The benefits are definitely not one-sided anyway.

The only reason why it's still approved in so many countries today is that nobody is compelled to gamble; you can always have a choice and avoid something that wants to swallow you up. The benefits are definitely not one-sided anyway.

But we can't blame the casino for this or the fault of the owner, they decided to gamble. In fact, they have not been told to sell their properties and they are not forced to gamble. That is why gambling is allowed to operate and is legal in some countries because it does not harm the people. If these gamblers acted responsibly, they would never have a miserable life unfortunately, they chose the wrong way and that is what happened to them.

If we listen to the gamblers, most of them will say that gambling is not good. But if we listen to the government side, workers, and casino owners, they will be thankful for this opportunity. Anyway, if there are positive contributions of gambling in the community, there are also negative ones.
