The solution to gambling…

The solution to gambling!

As a gambler, without having to specify on either you are an addicted gambler or a responsible gambler that actually knows how to manage his gambling behavior;

How does this kind of subject for a thread makes you feel?
You many at times I see gambling been presented in the wrong light and even then, it’s not be avoided. It makes me wonder, if a person would identify something wrong and still goes ahead to do it to themselves!
Is gambling really the problem or are we the problem?

The human mind as I see it is one that isn’t accustomed to accept fault and take blames. Very few persons in our world has learnt to be the offender, to take the hit even when they are not fully convinced.
If there are those that are able to manage their behavior around gambling and have no problem, why should we see gambling to be a problem other than ourselves to have problems with our behavior towards the gambling?

I really want to understand why is that because, it’s a little offensive and disrespectful to the line of business from my view point. Perhaps I can be convinced otherwise with some logical statements of fact!

At first I would love to drag your attention that gambling has been there for years or do I say since the existence of man, and of course if you don't go close gambling you wouldn't become addicted to gambling or even sees it as something very dangerous and bad to humans. Now I would also want to let you know that when gambling and you didn't focused on making a life changing bet you wouldn't for any day be attracted to gambling or even gambles regularly, but you can only be willing to spare little cash which aren't that meaningful to you or something you can accept to lose while gambling. Gambling as we know is just like game and while playing game you expect to have fun from it and nothing more, but then it was modernized where you can also put (stake) little money while having the fun and easing your stress.

Gamblers major problems is greed, chasing losses and when they are being carried away they automatically term it to the gambling site that gambling is bad, but it's their inability to control themselves or have control over the gambling site. Always gamble with at least 0.5-5 percent of your monthly income then you would understand that gambling is actually fun if you're not greedy fellow.

You are right we are the cause of our own problems and no one else. Imagine someone going into gambling to make profit or sees gambling as a job. That's a wrong mindset towards gambling, and if such person gets addicted, his relatives will put the blame of gambling.

The track that you follow when gambling is what will determine the outcome of your gambling activities. If you are gambling for fun, you will gamble responsible and stay healthy. On the one hand, if you gamble for profits, addiction will be the order of the day.

If it's offensive and a disrespectful business then why do you promote it? It's ok if they're paying you but not ok if people engage in the activity? Seems pretty hypocritical if ya ask me.

People are going to gamble whether you like it or not. IMO people make their money and can spend it in any way that feel like. Why try to control them to do what you or someone else thinks is right? Do people tell you how to chew food, how to make money, or how to do anything?

You didn’t really get the context of my text @Yahoo62278, perhaps I didn’t pass that message in the best context to you but then, what I meant was; should people be looking at gambling to be a problem when in fact, it is the uncontrollable desire to gamble even when you don’t have the means and resource to gamble to have been the problem, it makes people look like saints and the gambling industry an evil.

Mind you, I gamble, I’m very much up to it but, I gamble within reasonable amounts and sticks to fair play to my finances.
So I am not against gambling but, I’m against people viewing gambling as the problem rather than they themselves that have refused to take responsibility of their gambling behavior.

[cabron]

We gamble because we gamble. Don't take that too seriously there is nothing a person can do to convince a person with a habit until something is changed inside a man. Over time a gambler will outgrew this habit and learn something out of it.

But right now, the solution is just to let them gamble, sooner they can't gamble when they are out of money.  The only person who can stop gambling is the gambler himself.

Obviously users are the problem in every kind of addiction. But that doesn't take the responsibility away from anyone targeting the most vulnerable people to be users of their product.

If you see an ex-alcoholic who is miserable, and you try to cheer them up by explaining how alcohol would make them feel better for a moment, you are acting like an a-hole. Because while responsibility of being sober relies on the addict, you would be the one pushing them in while they are vulnerable, so you would hold moral responsibility as well.

This is why misleading advertisements promising riches by gambling isn't allowed in anywhere. Because no matter if it's person's responsibility to DYOR and find out if firm is lying or not, some people are less equipped to do for several reasons, and they are more vulnerable for misleading or inciting advertisements.

On average, there are arrogant and arrogant nature, so it is appropriate that humans do not want to accept mistakes or blame, humans want to profit not want to lose that point.

But in gambling all gambling industries are controlled by humans, meaning humans vs. Human, my understanding of arrogant gambling vs. Arrogant so no players won, those who Controlling the winning, unless the gambling industry is controlled by the devil, maybe humans always win, because the devil does not need money.

So what's wrong is not a gambling site, it is an object that is moved with human help, the loss that is experienced and despite the loss but still gambling is indeed the wrong human itself, they know that gambling has destroyed themselves but still repeat the same thing.

[danherbias07]

There's always a choice to not gamble and we are not being forced by online casinos to play. The solution is to quit if you feel like you are going over the limits and if it becomes a problem then might as well just forget about it.

Amyway, its true that some online casinos are scam but there are those who commit to their promise of a provably fair game and I think it unfair for them to bee branded as scam business or thieves considering they offer better promotions and features against another online casino.

[Eternad]

Gambling itself is not the problem because it’s just a game that never forced user to play it. People itself is the one that makes gambling look bad because they preferred blaming after losing rather than accepting the fact that they lose due to their own greediness.

The solution on gambling is never gamble if you can’t afford to lose money on this way. Gambling is meant for entertainment so people that using it differently on its purpose is clearly the one making mistake.

Is gambling really the problem or are we the problem?

Why would be gambling become a problem?

If you blaming casino why you lose then you treat casino differently you better understand the reason why gambling exist it was made for entertainment purposes you shouldn't treat it as source of income or profit.

You are the problem if you treat it like that not the casino itself.

Let's be honest, in the eyes of probably more than 50% in society, gambling is evil. Whether it be because they have seen someone lose everything in life, religion, addiction, or many other reasons, a good number of people view gambling as bad.

I also am not naive enough to see people as saints. We see so much bad shit in the world that you would have to be a fool to think that people aren't the problem as well. People rob, steal, kill, rape, sell drugs, touch kids, beat their spouses, and many other things. It's almost like they were raised not to be held accountable for their actions ever and they can do whatever they want. Pretty sad.

To me people are the problem. Yes gambling is pushed pretty hard and people are temped easy it seems, but if you were raised right and know the risks you won't be dumb enough to gamble your house and life away.

Is gambling really the problem or are we the problem?

We are the problem, gambling is not a forced activity, we decide to engage in it ourselves and the manner of engagement we introduce can cause problems for us. everything done on the casino is intentional and of our own choosing, so how do we blame gambling for anything? And if we have learned the act of taking responsibility for all our actions, then we surely know that we are to blame.

The human mind as I see it is one that isn’t accustomed to accept fault and take blames. Very few persons in our world has learnt to be the offender, to take the hit even when they are not fully convinced.

Again gambling is not the problem, Good or bad attitude on the casino depends on the gambler, for example:
A gambler who has a budget and stakes what he can afford to loose says he applies discipline on the casino, but a careless gambler who is loose on funds and records a great financial downturn while engaging on the casino would always want to shift blame to gambling. Now where is the justification to the claims of the Irresponsible gambler while a fellow gambler could strive personally to stay on budget?

Let it not surprise you. It is the emotion that is the culprit that a gambler will make a mistake and repeat it such mistake again with the hope that the second time will be correct.  For example, some gamblers may analyse a very good bet to stake but when they get in the game house to bet it, they get convinced by another bettor and they will change their good game only for them to regret at the end of the match. They still repeat such weak mind the next time. Also, sometimes we see few games that have high success rate but we add more games to it so as to increase the odds and potential winning, and at the end it will happen that the additional games are the debacle from winning. So the emotion play a very big role in the mind of gamblers.

The human mind as I see it is one that isn’t accustomed to accept fault and take blames. Very few persons in our world has learnt to be the offender, to take the hit even when they are not fully convinced.

No I don't totally accept that human mind is not accustomed to accepting fault. If you bet a wrong game against your original plan and you lose the game, once you regret your action then you have accepted fault. Many times that has happened, gamblers do blame their selves for their losing ordeal especially when they knew they would have taken a better decision.

[mindrust]

That’s how addictions work. Some people simply cannot control their behavior. That’s why it is a health condition. They cannot fix the problem without receiving external help.

Some people though, they can keep their behavior under control. They exactly know what will happen if they don’t and they never forget about it. It is that simple in the end.

> Either you play excessively and lose everything you got,

> Or you can play responsibly, enjoy gambling without losing too much.

It is a damn simple decision to make and many people do it wrong because the decision making parts in their brain ain’t working right

[Josefjix]

....

Why you writing as if gambling is bad and that it's not basically approved to get involved in it, as @yahoo said, "why you promoting it" you see

The whole point is not finding a solution to quit entirely but the solution to minimize the frustrations, the addictive behavior, the negative effects and more that comes with it, that's even why, in almost every country, an 18+ year old is allowed to gamble.

So gambling cannot be stopped, or preaching to others to quit it, because it's either benefitting them if you are not getting favoured off it, it's feeding family why others can't be lucky off it, and so on.

[DaNNy001]

Gambling isn't a problem but it's about how we engage in it... people avoid the actual cause of their problems because they can't take accountability for their actions... Gambling isn't a vice but if it starts causing problems for you then it's no longer safe and normal, the first thing you have to do is take responsibility for your actions and accept your faults... denial is something that makes your problems linger and remain unaddressed... Gambling will only be a problem for you based on what you make it to be

[Kelward]

Why some people see gambling as a problem is because it can be addictive, it's not something that you will encourage an underage or a jobless person to engage in. If you don't understand financial management you will not know how to manage your gambling bankroll, that is why people that don't have self control makes bad gamblers. Gambling in itself is not bad or evil if you understand responsible gambling but unfortunately many gamblers don't know this. Many comes with the mindset of getting rich quick through gambling, the desperation will lead them to be chasing loses if they're not lucky to win. They will become addicted and people will blame gambling alone, leaving the person that engaged in it with the wrong mindset.

No one is forced to play or gamble. Everyone in this space who wishes to get involved are likely wanted to. Now being dissapointed with such results is normal in my opinion. Since no one can fully nailed a gambling games that every time its a win for him/her.

You should understand that since you are wearing a signature for a gambling site. Means you know these kind of stuff towarda gambling is normal.

As a gambler, we may not see the complete image of our own self except being told by others before we may notice and then take action towards it, while some will not even react despite the fact that people are calling their attention to how they are gambling.

Things like this makes it of a very necessity that we manage our gambling lifestyle well, so that we don't get to develop other abnormalities as we gamble which may be affecting our general life, while to cap it all, everything starts from a responsible gambling.
