The benefits of Gambling

[Onyeeze]

I would say this: gambling develops your probabilistic intelligence. What do I mean by probabilistic intelligence? It is the art of working with chance and uncertainty; ability to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty; the ability to calculate chances and the ability to limit risks. In fact, these are extremely important skills that can be transferred from one area of ​​life to another. The art of dealing with uncertainty can help in a variety of professions. For example. In medicine, in insurance, in military affairs, in emergency services. Yes, even just in managing personal finances. No matter what we work with, we will always come into contact with uncertainty.

what I want you to understand for the aspect of you analyzing the point of uncertainty, using gambling so I know quite well that gambling is something that has to do with risk measure whoever that is into gambling no quite well that it is neither you lose in gambling or you profit in gambling these two things that is involved in gambling is permanent so it is neither you profit in gambling or you lose whoever that is a participant of gambling knows quite well that you are dangering your capitals because two things are involved on it you can lose gambling now you can also benefit from it now so when gambling you should not have it in mind that you always make a profit just have from another part of your mind that you can lose gambling at any point in time

just as you said that gambling as help pay your school fees before back then , that is how alot of people has also lose their school fee through gambling, what am trying to say is that luck varies it doesnt, just come all the time because you might win today it ddoesnt mean you going to win tomorrow it all comes back to luck, and anything that deals especially as means of earning should be handled wisely, if not you may only endup regretting your actions. and i wont Dinny the fact that gambling have alot of persons lives, that is why most kept on going into it with the aim of wanting to hit the jackpot.

When you already see what happens if you uses your school fee to playing gambling and loses that money, you should thinks that it's better to stay away from gambling. You have your choice to makes money from the other sources so you will have a big chance to make money. You can seek for a part time job that can helps you earns money so you can saving that money to pay your school fee and you will not going to lose that money because of playing gambling.

As a student, you better not use your school fee to playing gambling, especially if you know the risks if you lose that money. You should thinks that gambling is just for fun and not for makes money. If you realizes about that, you don't have to risks your money instead just uses the money for the important things in your life. You must be wise to treat your money and not use much money to playing gambling.

My question is how many times can you pay in advance or can you use the money from your winnings to slightly reduce the burden of your education costs? Is it just that time? And also what I ask is whether there was a moment when you had to lose everything even though the money was going to be used for education costs or something else?
Many people tell their experiences about how gambling makes them lose everything and that's not the story of one or two people, but many people whose cases are almost the same.

The point I want to convey here is that we can gamble, as long as our gambling doesn't get us into trouble. And also don't let us gamble using money that we would use for other needs. The experiences experienced by other people and then they tell about it, should be a lesson for those of us who have not gone too far in gambling. If that happens to us while we know it from other people's experiences, I think that's stupid.

If you can wins from gambling, you will have a chance to pays your school fee easily with that wins money. You knows that we don't have a big chance to wins much money from gambling but we may have a big chance to lose that money. If that happens, can you imagine that you can't pay your school fee and what you will do? We knows that gambling can makes people gets tempts easily so if a student playing gambling and lose their money while they can't controls themselves, they may uses more money in their hands to recover their lost in gambling. That means, they will have a chance to lose all of their money in gambling and they will not have a big chance to wins.

You can playing gambling but with moderation and not use your school fee. You can use the money you can afford to lose to playing gambling but not for use the money that you really needs. That's the point that you should understand. When someone lose their money in gambling, they tends will use more money unless they have a good self control so they can holds themselves and quit gambling when they already lose their money.

The experiences experienced by other people and then they tell about it, should be a lesson for those of us who have not gone too far in gambling. If that happens to us while we know it from other people's experiences, I think that's stupid.

Many people ignore this, that gambling is actually not a place to earn money and wealth, which is why many people end up causing problems, namely making themselves play excessively and end up addicted to gambling, even though there have been many cases that often appear to the public who are gambling addicts. committing suicide, committing crimes and other bad things, but people seem to ignore this by being confident that they won't do it, even though when cornered and losing all their assets everyone will definitely end up doing bad things, before it's too late, gamblers should want to think again to be wiser in gambling, use the money you are ready to lose

Because gambling is not a job for the players, it is indeed a very big business, but the profits can only be felt by the casino owner or bookie, not by the gambler. However, it is the house that will always win and we will lose more, I think we are all aware of this. Therefore, don't ever think that gambling can make us rich, because what happens is the opposite.

The more we are aware of things like this, the more we should be able to control ourselves so that we are not among those who end up addicted. And also when we have applied discipline in gambling, it doesn't mean we are free from things that will make us lose self-control. Because the more often we gamble, the more it can become a habit that ultimately makes us out of control. As much as possible, we must always remember what we should not do.

Yes, that's right, and that's why we always say that actually the real profit from gambling is only for the casino itself or the bookie who owns the casino, because they get large profits in the long term, while the gamblers, even though for example they manage to get a win, but that's right. will only happen occasionally and by chance, because there will always be times for gamblers to experience losses where it is possible that the number of losses exceeds the number of their previous wins.

And therefore, as you said, this is the reason why we always say and forbid anyone from using gambling as a place to seek wealth, because after all it is an idea that is impossible to realize when we know what the concept of gambling really is. And also if indeed a gambler could gain wealth in the long term from gambling then of course there would be no more people who would want to work physically like the public jobs that we know, but in fact that doesn't happen. Another thing, yes, I agree with you on the last idea you said because it makes sense and is a fact.

Gambling has made people relate to one another, this forum is a perfect example. You will see people here on the forum discussed about a particular gambling game and how they like the way it is played. There are also some announcements thread of different casino where you will see people interacting with one another and makes money together, you also see people discuss about a sports and the games they choose while betting. This is the primary benefit of casino.

Actually, online gambling and offline gambling are two different things, I don't know how logical it is to relate these two.

Real-life casinos can be beneficial in several ways. Its effects and benefits may vary from person to person. In my case, gambling is actually needed for relaxation. It's nice to sit down at the casino table to relax after a long week. For job holders to businessmen, it also helps in enhancing the multitasking experience, your brain gets enough exercise through it. If you look, you will notice that gambling people are more agile and smart than normal people, right?

Mentally gambling will make you very strong and help to keep your mental health fresh. if you are an introvert then gambling also teaches you to be social and learn how to interact with different people. Though I do not support taking gambling as a job, but many people also choose it as a means of earning, if you can make yourself professional enough in gambling then you can generate a handsome amount from it, it is not impossible.

If you talk about online gambling it is just entertainment, 99% luck and 1% skill .

There are many benefits in which we enjoy with gambling on our daily lives because we leverage to make use of some of these gambling ideas to our day to day challenges in life, even though we may not be aware of using some until we realized how some of the skills and experience taught while gambling were being applicable to our daily living, as we mostly know gambling to be a source to being entertained or to avoid been idle.

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...

1. Socialization
2. Income Generation
3. Employment
4. Support to the Gambling Industry

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.

Today's gambling is mostly online on mobile devices or computer devices but I don't think gambling can help socialize. Here you mention 'income' from gambling which can make people addicted. Here gambling loses more than gains. But we cannot accept gambling as employment because it is not right to consider gambling as employment. Gambling doesn't add much to our personal lives, I think gambling takes away a lot from our personal lives. Actually we gamble for entertainment and gambling should always be for entertainment. Gambling should never be considered as a means of employment and income.

there is a benefit in gambling but I want us to understand that the benefit in gambling is limited to the lungs with experience in gambling if you are a gambling at it or a frequent gambler, it is when that you will differentiate the benefit in gambling and the Loss that you experience in gambling, from my way of understanding things that is technical and things that is not technical in gambling it is obvious that when you take a gambling serious there will be a proof of advantages or profit you make through it and sometimes to statistics has proven that the benefit in gambling is totally Limited to what you will lose on the process it is only courageous gamblers that achieve more than spending more of their money in gambling

Well for me the benefits are actually enjoyed by the casino owners although some gamblers actually use their gambling habits as some kind of therapy and another set of people who benefits from gambling are the government because if they decide to task the whole activity they would probably earn from it but ultimately the damage is more and it's actually on the gamblers because so many people tend to abuse gambling.

Actually, some of those who are addicted to gambling, I'm sure, will have the same thoughts. However, they cannot control it and they may gamble unconsciously because they think more about winning, winning and winning, but they don't think that they are also taking a very big risk. Unfortunately they cannot quickly return to consciousness and that happens when they have already lost everything.

I remember a friend who said that he would no longer gamble, but a few weeks later when I met him again, he was gambling on his cell phone. Then I asked him why he was back into gambling, and he said he had money from his salary that he had just received. Honestly, I was surprised to hear the answer he gave. Because if so, then when he said he would stop gambling it was only because at that time he had no money to play with. With this I conclude that they (addicts) will stop gambling after losing everything.

There are enterprises that different persons are involve in that as a result of a high rate of abuse in their engagement with such interest it makes those outside to have a nasty view and only negative conclusions about such activity whenever the topic is raised, and sadly gambling have been found amidst them.

If a fundamental proportion of the persons gambling in the society could be discipline enough to gamble responsibly, keeping to the rules of responsible gambling without lurking those vices associated with why gambling is said to be bad then may be society would start talking about the positive side of gambling as much as they talk the negatives.
For income generation am indifferent about that view... Just as one member said in the first page, the gambling houses makes the income not really the gamblers.

That's true. The gamblers who are playing to gain money but can't stand having losses are the ones suffering on its negative effect. But if we look on the other sides of people who really benefited on the existence of gambling (casino owner, the employees, the government etc.) then we can realize that there's something good in it that others don't see.

In my case, l turn to gambling during free time when I have no work and has a spare money to spend. The good side of gambling that influence me is I learned to become patient and contented. Maybe because I already experienced the worse as a gambler and so that gave me a lesson.

Yeah , even some folks that claim to hit a certain jackpot in gambling, most of them that same jackpot is not up to the half of the amount they have loss in gambling, though it may be ones or gradual process. Alot of folks normally claim that they hardly use huge amount of money to gamble, but if they endup calculating that amount they have lose through gambling, they will know that those amounts all together is huge . Like I normally say they are benefits of gambling, just as they say anything with advantages will always have disadvantages , but in gambling due most gamblers habits of gambling they always experience the negative part of gambling.

       -   The mindset of a gambler must be removed that gambling is the same as a job or employee, because if this is the mindset, then the person will also think that he has to gamble every day. Think about how gambling will be like a job. When we gamble, we don't have a boss.

Also, when you say work, that means you come in to have an income or salary, while gambling is not gambling so that you can have money here without taking out or putting money into the casino. Then the chances of us winning in gambling are still low.

Addiction is hard. Your friend meant it when he said he quit gambling. Addiction is a bad habit. Winning and gaming enthusiasm hijack the brain. It goes beyond willpower. It involves resisting a powerful urge.

We can defeat this. Being smart is essential. People must be warned of the risks. We must equip children to manage money and resist temptation. Yes, self-exclusion programs, community support, actual help. This goes beyond telling someone to stop. Showing them how. They need support to make better decisions. We win this fight that way. Not easy, but worth it. And I trust people. I think we can conquer addiction.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

I think gambling motivates us psychologically, it makes any match more exciting and helps us release dopamine. I like football and I bet on football matches, but when I watch a football match, I don't have as much fun as when I gamble. Also, sometimes I bet with my friends and that's fun too. It makes memories between me and my friends. We all take bets to support our favorite teams. Socialization and dopamine are the biggest benefits of gambling for me.

Any gambler that is willing to conquer is addiction will find it difficult to do at the beginning but as time goes on due to his determination he will gradually come out of it. Activities that leads to addiction is very tempting and if you jump into it on a wrong way, you will be addicted unknown to you.

Government will do their own part but it is left for us the individuals to also do our own part by monitoring and telling our family members and relatives the consequences of addiction and how to prevent it. If you gamble responsible, there is no way that you will be addicted because you are not gambling to make a fortune but for fun.

[Accardo]

       -   The mindset of a gambler must be removed that gambling is the same as a job or employee, because if this is the mindset, then the person will also think that he has to gamble every day. Think about how gambling will be like a job. When we gamble, we don't have a boss.

Also, when you say work, that means you come in to have an income or salary, while gambling is not gambling so that you can have money here without taking out or putting money into the casino. Then the chances of us winning in gambling are still low.

Winning in gambling have no impacts on the player regardless of his thoughts. That is, whether we consider it a job, business, game or whatsoever, the players will always face losses. And that's the architectural settings of the game. Players only have to view the benefits of gambling like mentioned above by other members, and exclude seeing it as a job in form of its benefits.

However, players who possess the behavior or habit of considering gambling as a work are only deceiving themselves into a big hole of trouble. And nothing beneficial can erupt of such thoughts. The best beneficial thoughts of gambling is limitations. It only helps a person to control his desire for things around the world, which tend to push him away from their focus. Gambling is a great example of such activities and when applied to similar functions in our lives, they'll be a great success.

*edit: Removed typos that my crappy phone caused and rephrased my point:

I don't understand the point of this. Gambling industry isn't in any kind of danger to dissappear, quite the opposite. It's easier to to see why people gamble, because they gamble without anyone explaining why it's a good idea, compared to addiction where we have to remind why gambling isn't for everyone. People talk of the downsizes, because those need to be talked about, so there wouldn't be such a stigma and shame around the problems of it. And so that people would know it's not automatically fun and games all the time (pun intented). People will keep on gambling because they like it. They don't need specific reasoning for that.

Positive sides? For me, just the relaxation with it is a good enough reason to keep on gambling. Occasional wins are positive too.

[Dewi Aries]

And therefore, as you said, this is the reason why we always say and forbid anyone from using gambling as a place to seek wealth, because after all it is an idea that is impossible to realize when we know what the concept of gambling really is. And also if indeed a gambler could gain wealth in the long term from gambling then of course there would be no more people who would want to work physically like the public jobs that we know, but in fact that doesn't happen. Another thing, yes, I agree with you on the last idea you said because it makes sense and is a fact.

Because if so, then when he said he would stop gambling it was only because at that time he had no money to play with. With this I conclude that they (addicts) will stop gambling after losing everything.

This means that it is very difficult to spend even the slightest amount of time not to gamble when someone is already in the phase of dependence on this activity, as you said, it is very possible for them to gamble without realizing it, they find it difficult to spend any amount of time without being decorated by gambling, and all that This is because they have entered a dependency phase which is worse than an addiction situation, and someone who is addicted usually seems to ignore other aspects which will actually always be part of gambling, such as the consequences of risk, and I am sure that is one of the biggest causes. namely because they focus too much on the chance of winning and always imagine that they will be able to win large amounts, even though that is nothing more than an illusion.

On the other hand, the conclusion you draw from your friend's case that you have told is correct, or I mean I quite agree with your conclusion that someone who says that he will stop his gambling activities could be nothing more than just empty talk because at that time he doesn't have any money, and this is also the reason why in any case saying is always much easier than doing, and maybe your friend doesn't have the strong intention and determination to stop his gambling activities, the reason may be because he still holds a grudge against everyone defeats he has experienced, or still has a significant interest in winning.
