What do you think is the disadvantages of gambling

[lionheart78]

So from your own perspective, what do you think is among disadvantages of gambling with what you have?

The disadvantage of gambling is that you will get rect once you are distracted.  So it is best to focus on practicing responsible gambling.  That said, enjoy and don't compromise the money that has already its purpose.  Gamble only what we can afford to lose.

Talking about what I have in hand, I do not think there are any disadvantages to gambling since I am the one setting the pace.  The amount of bankroll is ignorable since there is always this minimum bet which is less than a dollar if I want my session to last as I intended.

I can name a disadvantage, that hanst mentioned before - while you gamble, time passes by very quickly. Game is additive, interesting, exciting, popular. A person think he gamble for half and hours, but it turns that he has been gambling for many hours straight. Gambling is a time killer and a time stealer. People go down with head into gambling and dont see world around them.

Gambling is not a source of income, many people consider gambling as a way to make quick money and a common human tendency is that they cannot be satisfied with what they get. That is why many people quickly become addicted gamblers due to excessive gambling. The more one expect to win in gambling, the more likely he is to become addicted.

It is a mistake to consider gambling as a source of income, with the fact that gambling will only make us lose money more often, then there will be no profit or money that is obtained for sure and consistently, it is something that is quite impossible to happen even though he has been gambling for a long time, the chances of losing are still greater and cannot be avoided.
I agree with what you said, the more people hope for gambling, the more people will be addicted to gambling and maybe these are those who are wrong in their perspective on gambling.

The disadvantage of gambling is that people lose more money than they win. There are few cases of people who have managed to make long-term profits when they have been involved in gambling, and most people when they lose, they chase losses. There are few people who accept losing without becoming angry or angry. Whereas in a normal game where money is not involved, people when they lose get angry, but they do not chase losses, so the psychological damage is less.

Gambling is not something that we have to stay away from. Although we know that countless gamblers suffered huge losses and addiction, still, it was not bad in general. It only happens when a person loses their mentality and control. Spending long hours and greed are major factors that affect their habit. If we could take action and control ourselves, gambling wouldn't cause any trouble.

As we make choices about what life we want to live. And before we choose to gamble, we also need to be certain of our plan. Just gamble responsibly, and we are okay.

One disadvantage of gambling is that you will never get your money when you lose it in gambling. I know that there are few people that most have gotten their loses from gambling due to the huge winning they had which clear all their loses and gave them huge winnings. Majority of gamblers are still in loses right now because that has been the pattern since day one. Gambling is not always profitable and when we tend to misuse it, we could get severe loses as a result of that.
If anyone wants to make money from betting, they should gamble less and reduce any form of excessive gambling which can reduce our risk of losing more from betting.

Been without a job or any form of a source of income except for gambling as a means you hope on getting funds from us a huge disadvantage to the gambler because any money you are lucky to win the chances of you returning that money back  to the house is very high. Because whatever amount you win won't be satisfactory you'll always want to double it and on trying to double you just lose it all and more.

Dependency is indeed one of the disadvantages of gambling, trying to make it a source of income without having an actual job can be very detrimental to your mental health... Gambling with the little amount of money you are getting while being jobless can lead to a lot of other problems and one of them is being in debt.. someone who is jobless and in debt can be very frustrated with life and this is something gambling is capable of doing if you are not careful about it.

At first the only way one who's jobless can gamble is when he or she get unexpected money from somewhere, either from friends or anything. But it isn't advisable to Gamble with the little money you have hoping to earn and multiply it because the chances of losing the money you have on gamble is 99% while the chances of winning is too slim 1% and gamblers that chase their loss are gamblers that can't accept their losses.

What about cashback option? There are casinos, that offer high cashback % for their VIP gamblers. Some casinos even give 1/4 of lost amount back. In theory, if a gambler is lucky, with such cashback and several all-ins, he can get whole lost amount back. Add a rakeback and you already in a profit. I would not call a loss as a disadvantage of gambling. That is a part of gambling, a payment for entertainment.

To me gambling while being jobless is similar to commiting financial self-destruction, in my opinion. There would be a clear intention to make money out of the casino because the situation of the person and likely all the money which is going to be wagered cannot be afford to be lost by the jobless person. It is a very complex situation and unfortunately it happens very often in developing countries, in which it is difficult to get a job (even after completing high education).

Anyone who likes gambling is supposed to stay away from casinos, bookies and lotteries while jobless, not matter how big temptation is, because we all know how dark consequences can be for someone in such situation after losing their money to their bad luck.

It's not that time flies, it flies like lightning. It seems like I just sat down to play, and several hours have already passed. There were times when, in an attempt to recoup my losses, I spent more than 12 hours in a row on the game process. And that was not the limit. Yes, that's how much slots drew me in. Well, I just couldn't stop. I tried everything in a row in the hope of finding my luck. It also happened that I managed to hit a decent jackpot, since I already knew the casino by heart.

Once you practice irresponsible gambling, disadvantages start to show up. You will lose more, compared to your gains, and even end up losing everything if you don’t set your loss limits. And if you become a lot greedy with gambling, not only you will be prone to losses but gambling addiction starts waving in. Emotions become uncontrollable which could lead to impulsive decisions, that will cause you to lose all your hard-earned money not only in your pocket but even your savings account in the bank.

That's why it's appealing to people without jobs. As they manage to persuade themselves that it's a fast and credible way to make more money.
Their reasoning can be that even if they lose, they would lose small amount only. They however disregard the fact that those small bets add up, and people not keeping track of them don't understand how much they are losing.

In worst cases they win at the start and keep on rising the bets. Winning with those bigger bets would mean that they get instantly hooked.

In case of OP: Obvious positives and negatives have been mentioned already but sounds like reasoning with his friend is out of the table.

One of the disadvantages of gambling is when someone prioritizes gambling over other important things, even themselves. More than just losing the money you have, the biggest disadvantage in gambling is when you lose valuable time and also the people you love and the people around you.

When your money is gone in gambling, maybe you can get it back, but when you have lost the trust of the people you love and the people closest to you because of your bad behavior in gambling, then that trust will be difficult to rebuild. And when that happens, no one cares and sympathizes with you anymore, then you will lose the meaning of your life.

And stupidly, when they are at that point, instead of realizing their bad behavior in gambling and starting to try to fix everything, they are even crazier in gambling because they think that the people they love and also the people around them will come back when they succeed in getting a big win.

Yeah, that is right. That is the disadvantage of gambling that we will not realize because the temptation from gambling is too big to reject. We will forget the time we want to spend to playing gambling and we want more and more even when we say that is the last round that we will play. I admitted that playing slots games make us difficult to leave because when we are in the win position, our mind will telling us to keep playing for one last round. Besides that, our mind will tell that our luck still behind us to help us to win more money. But that is not help us because that is greed that telling us and make us continue gamble.

I think profit and loss in gambling are common and those who say that losses always happen certainly need to be questioned.

Like you advise your friends to use the winnings as an investment and a small portion to gamble back.
But your friend doesn't listen to the advice because the greed that he has in him makes the decision to use all the money for gambling, in the end it all disappears.

The real disadvantage is not listening to the good advice of others so as not to use all the money for gambling.
There must be self-control to reduce more losses or even avoid them.

Losses is  inevitable but that doesn't mean that they should happen constantly...if you are the type of gambler that follows the principles of risk management your losses shouldn't be more than your profits and of course make sure you are betting on the right games, decided to point this out because you can bet on casino games and expect this principle to work for you... Just like what you added, after winning you shouldn't put all your profit back into it, a little percentage should be used just In case things goes sideways.

The outcome of doing a thing like this is a severe addiction, because whenever a player who has no funds begin to beg or take loans for gaming, it shows the gambler can't control himself by waiting till money has been earned. Those who play to win so that they could pay back borrowed money are actually in a dip mess, which is disastrous and not advisable to start with.

Basically, gambling is a self-inflicted loss, especially when a gambler greedily bets repeatedly, then his previous profits on his bets start to be lost. The gambler himself is primarily responsible for this, and the loss caused by his greed will not be considered a negative consequence of gambling. However, it is not possible to say that gambling does not have bad effects, but a gambler can use gambling correctly if he wishes.

A student will never be able to use gambling properly because he has no alternative time to study during his academic period, but if he gets involved in gambling during this time, he will definitely fall under the bad influence of gambling. However, if someone participates in gambling solely for entertainment, without being overly greedy, they will certainly be able to gain positive experiences through gambling.

They will learn their lessons very fast if they will follow such route in gambling. If you have no more funds, stop and just go back when you have more. Otherwise, you are putting yourself to a terrible financial mess. And when you are at the point where you have such burden, for sure, you will swear that you won't put yourself again in that kind of situation.

Need to be conservative because if not, you can easily lose all your bankroll in this game. As much as possible, set aside some winnings and call it a day if you already reached your limits, in terms of losses. This is not a race. So better check your financials before you lose yourself in this addictive activity.

Speaking of the gambling nature of most of those gamblers in the developing world relative to those of advanced industrial countries the issue of employment opportunities to the context of gambling intentions is structurally different. I may not have the data to support this assumption but the indices expresses that a good number of those that gets into gambling do it as a means to make earns meet through it and not just about fun or entertainment and this is as a result of the scarcity of employment opportunities to the teaming populace. Very a few gamblers there do it for the passion before the reward.
