As the title reads, I want us to come to a reasonable conclusion about this addiction of a thing in gambling by arguing it back and forth. Many months ago, I was in an argument with a user about the fact that the addiction to gambling can't only be negative as many people portray it. I relied on the grounds that if some gamblers could regularly earn in sports betting, while others derive fun and take gambling as their hobby, are they not deriving a positive goal there? Is that not a positive addiction?
I further argued that everything mustn't have to be about money to make it positive or negative. Some kinds of gambling and gaming relieve stress in some people and give them the desired happiness. This goes a long way depending on the mindset we played it.
My view was a long epistle that I wouldn't want to bug anyone with even as my external sources confirmed hobby as a good addiction. Regardless, I don't want to limit this to my understanding, I want you guys to share your opinions as well.
Sorry, but addiction to gambling can not and can never be positive in any ways, and this does not matter how much long you argue it, or what points you bring to the table, addiction to gambling is pure sickness and sickness is not a positive thing in the life of anyone.
First and foremost, you have to understand that gambling is never a reliable means of making money, and even for those who gamble for fun, there are other fun activities one can participate in that is way more healthy and benefiting than gambling, and even for free, and a good example is exercising.
Gambling can be fun but can be best done without being addicted to it, addiction to gambling makes one spend unnecessarily, money that should have been used for things more important, is spent just to satisfy the addicted gambler's hunger, this is not a thing to be proud of bud.
