The benefits of Gambling

[Franctoshi]

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.

Obviously, in terms of job opportunities, I must admit that the gambling industry has employed quite a good number of people in the society today who may have lost hope of getting a job, reason being that in getting employed, it isn't necessary that you must have a university degree before they will employ you, unlike the way most other companies operate, so this is one incredible that gambling has contributed to the society, not only that but also in aspect of income generation you made mention , if not for the greediness that majority of gamblers in the space are using to gambling, gambling has actually helped some people in achieving their dream business or goal over a period of time, especially those that understand how to navigate the industry safely.

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

Being technical when you are gambling is not possible because you can not use statistics and expect your bets to play. Gambling which is not sport betting can not give you results back to back. Benefits of gambling is money and fun but gambling does not only take away the money but also the fun because when you are losing, you will neither be having fun or making money. It is better you are not having fun because you can live with that but when you start losing money you might become addicted to gambling inorder to recover the money that you are losing. Gambling can be good for your social being if you are gambling in the minimum and not overdoing it. it can help you to pick up some skills too because the more you are gambling, the better you will improve your gambling skills.

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.

It is not there fault actually, it is very hard to talk about what we are not really In to, and at most times people will tend to talk about or maximize talking about gambling in such a negative way based on what they have seen from gamblers that is around them, probably they might have been seeing those that has been over taken by gambling
addiction, yeah that is true just like for instance I have an uncle who sold almost his farm products just because of gambling which has brought issues between him and the wife, definitely those around my area that are not really into gambling will definitely say negative things or have negative feeling towards gambling activities by generalizing the habits of the gambling addict in their closet.

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

It is very important to take lessons from the experiences of others if we have not experienced everything ourselves. That is, it is not necessary to be a gambling addict to know the best way to practice it. There are general rules that no one questions, the most important of which is not to risk betting with money that we fear losing, regardless of the circumstance. I believe that all problems begin when the user thinks for the first time about using the money he deserves for life matters, and that is the first indication that he has entered the danger zone.

I once read in a study that all gambling addicts began their journey towards addiction by practicing gambling as a hobby in their free time, and that a large percentage of them succeeded in achieving profits during their first bets. Perhaps this suggests the idea that casinos give bonuses to new registrants, perhaps giving them greater winning chances to stay longer.

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.

Yor remember me the old days of mine when we the friend zone was much busy we get together and the time
Of sports and Bet with our favourite team and the cheers are not forgettable. And I will also agree with your things about the  releasing dopamine but it should be also in control because some times it becomes addictive and gives worse experience rather than fun

If you really love soccer and have a favorite team, then you should be able to feel happy too when you watch your favorite team compete. But, if you don't feel pleasure when watching your favorite team, then I would doubt about your love for soccer and your favorite team. About gambling obviously, of course there will always be tension and pleasure when doing it and it is natural, especially when you do betting too then you will really feel that way. But yes, because you yourself say you like soccer but the fact that you don't feel happy when watching soccer itself, then basically you don't know how to appreciate your love for soccer itself.

If a person is an irresponsible gambler, he borrows a lot of money because it becomes an addiction to him. But there are some people who can gamble with peace of mind. Gambling is not necessary for everyone, because gambling is common for those who have enough money. Also you can never generate employment from gambling. Because betting on gambling will reveal the mentality of losing and winning, so if you lose, your money is gone. So you cannot consider this as a secure employment.

Tami is not for everyone but we still see people struggling to make a win in gambling. It is all about being lucky and when are not being lucky, it is better for us ti accept our fate. Gambling is more of discipline mindset if we don't want to be a bad gambler or stupid person that would keep gambling even when they are not making profits. Once something is not working for us, we need to quit or leave for another for a better strategy and pattern than would earn us profits.Thwre are bad and good gamblers but sometimes people become bad im gambling because they are not being careful and keep their mindset on things that would be profitable for them rather than being greedy.

When it comes to the notice of people how gambling is almost affecting you, and probably your well being and in some cases your financial position, they will most likely criticize you and even say negative things about you as much as they acn but then what matters is your ability to not letting any of such becoming a problem and a thing of consideration to you provided you know it's not a problem just yet to you.  Furthermore you can make sure you gambling habit doesn't interfere with your family affair so as not to cause issues between you and your family because at that point it's becoming a very irresponsible act and shouldn't be considered as something to encourage.

I don't understand the point of this. Gambling industry isn't in any kinds of danger where it could dissappear. Quite the opposite. It's easy to see why people gamble and for me, just the relaxation with it is a good enough reason to keep on gambling. Occasional wins are positive too.

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.

Gambling industry won't disappear as this activity has been with humanity since the beginning of time. It evolves thru time and so we can see the varying forms of this industry depending on the technological stage that we have. So I don't think this activity will just be wiped out from the face of the earth.

And since we won't see the eradication of this industry, what we can do is just look at the positive side of it. There may be negative side but it is the same for all industry, right? Also, do take note that anything that is too much is indeed bad for people. So if you regulate your gambling habits, I don't think you will be in trouble.

Gambling strikes a chord with many people, and this is because deep down many people love to take risks just for the sake of it, this is like those that jump out of a bridge or do something dangerous, many people wonder why they do it? But they do it because they like the feeling of doing activities that are inherently risky.

And gambling does the exact same thing, as people love the idea of putting their money at risk and the possibility of even earning a larger amount, so once we think more profoundly about gambling, it is obvious that no matter what it is done, gambling will never disappear.

It really will not disappear anywhere, because every person has hope for a better life. Everyone wants to believe that the life they are living now is only temporary, and the best will be ahead. But often the only way to improve your life by arranging a life change is to go to the casino and play to the last dollar. And it's enough for gamblers to know that someone has won so much that they believe that this gambler will be able to change his life through the casino.

The socialization aspects is one factor that I liked about gambling,i.e "Responsible Gambling" particularly.Its very important to learn lessons and Also make mistakes in gambling,even the addiction is hard to combat.
Gambling typically helps you to figure out means,methods and apply mental oriented tactics while playing,you become accustomed with the gaming patterns.Similarly,the power of social interaction and connection is super exciting.

Gambling creates Room for social interaction,social opportunities,e.t.c. Its no doubt that when you find yourself in such environments you'll meet lots of people and you're chanced to share ideas as it also brings people together,and build relationships.

Despite the fact that gambling has the potential to create and render detrimental effects on individuals or society at large,the benefits of social interaction/connection of gambling should'nt be kept aside.I'm initially referring to the positive outcome from responsible gambling respectively.Responsible gambling can bring so many benefits and positive impacts to the individuals and society.

Gambling has a lot of positive side of it. In income though not everyone has the privilege to win at all time but those who won also have some changes because they use the wins to buy things to themselves and pay bill but if not the gambling wins, we wouldn't know what would have happened because I have heard people saying in that those days, if not gambling they would have gone wrong in the society. And the socialization aspect.of gambling is undisputable because in the hall we meet different people both the bettors and players and countries which we have not known before.

The thing is everything has an advantage and disadvantages and it's natural. A gambler that has an ambition to win huge money will not think about the disadvantage in whatever choices that he made because all he's thinking is only to win huge amount of money from gamble. But it's important for a gambler to know that there are times we need to consider that there are disadvantage and advantage in things, no matter what is it. We believed that the life we live today is temporary because we know but not sure about the future if it will be good, fair or bad. There are gamblers who don't care the amount they deposit on their betting account because they believed that gambling is the easiest way to make them what they have imagined.

Arguably Gambling might bring all these benefits to the table, but as an individual are we winning from our gambling adventures because that's the primary goal as far as I know....if someone out there said they enjoyed losing when they gamble then certainly they are lying to our faces!!

Btw, something I relate to when it comes to gambling is the social network it creates, I have virtually connected with several people through gambling which is a big plus for me as I have used my network beyond the gambling space, which makes it a win win for me.

Those points you outlined are the benefits of gambling when done in moderation, but when it becomes an addiction it no longer has any benefits but rather it becomes a disease, and I don't agree point number two: when we are talking about income generation here I believe you are talking about the bookmakers because it can't be a source of income to the gambler, and about the socialization aspect, not every gambler can relate to that because some actually gamble online without interacting with people

[Weawant]

Obviously, in terms of job opportunities, I must admit that the gambling industry has employed quite a good number of people in the society today who may have lost hope of getting a job, reason being that in getting employed, it isn't necessary that you must have a university degree before they will employ you, unlike the way most other companies operate, so this is one incredible that gambling has contributed to the society, not only that but also in aspect of income generation you made mention , if not for the greediness that majority of gamblers in the space are using to gambling, gambling has actually helped some people in achieving their dream business or goal over a period of time, especially those that understand how to navigate the industry safely.

Majority of the casino staff's are obviously beneficiary of the job opportunities the. Casino presents them with, not necessarily possessing a university degree is an advantage that the casino provides every employee with, this is because they don't really require a high level of professionalism or been specialized for you to be able to work in a casino, all you have got to do is just making sure you are able to follow up as instructed and you get to master every other aspect while doing the job assigned to you but with other jobs out there, it may be quite different.

Because betting on gambling will reveal the mentality of losing and winning, so if you lose, your money is gone. So you cannot consider this as a secure employment.

The biggest mistake in this word is to borrow money for the purpose of gambling any one that engages in such, like I do pity them because they will definitely regret it although some succeed to win, but it is just a few of them, and if you have that mind that you will borrow money to gamble, you will lose everything and still be in debt, which will definitely disturb your mental health and cause depression, but many gambling addicts take it for granted, which is why they always do such an act. 
 
I know a strong gambling addict, although he is already dead, and the result of his death was gambling because he has accumulated a lot of loans that will be very hard for him to pay to the extent that we were homeless and his family. That man has only a single pair of clothes; he usually repeats those clothes daily. So the main cause of his death was that he borrowed money to gamble with the hope that he would win a jackpot because of the dream that he would win a jackpot. So after they trusted him and gave him the money, he lost the game, so when he had no money to pay them, they beat him to death. That is how he lost his life.

Something very important that is not mentioned there:
- Combating the parallel market: By legalizing gambling, the government can reduce the presence of the parallel market and crime associated with illegal activities.

And this is a fact, as it is undeniable that in every country where gambling is prohibited, there will always be an "illegal market" for betting. Whether with slot machines or card games, for example. This is, of course, not to mention online websites, as they will always be opened and hosted in an external country so as not to suffer sanctions.

Who loses from this besides the government that stops collecting its taxes? The users, the players.
Because if these establishments were legal, or if the sites were hosted in the country of origin, it would be easier to monitor them and even punish them for any illegal acts committed against their players.

Anyway, I'm Brazilian and I understand these problems well, as gambling is prohibited here.
They recently legalized sports betting, hopefully they will soon also legalize physical casinos and gambling sites.

when you cross check the positive impact of gambling you will know that the negative that will experience in gambling is higher than the positive that will experience in gambling because most of time many people do complain of losing their money in the process of gambling and that's losing is all about negative so it is few people who is a fully beneficiary of gambling like people that win a lot of money I'm using to establish a business and the any other thing so it is difficult before you see them and they are few in numbers so that is why I said the negative that we experience in gambling is higher than the positive we experience
