Is There No Good Side Of Gambling?

[Oluwa-btc]

When you win a life changing amount and you stop after it, its likely the time when there is a good side of it. But then every gambler reason out they are gambling for entertainment. So yeah entertaining yourself is something good, boredom can make you think of something else so instead of thinking of things that are a lot more stupid, gambling seem to be fairer.

Everyone has different shades of how gambling have been beneficial to them but they are limited cause the negative sides of gambling have been seen to overpower the good sides of it but regardless the major aspect is resulting into  wins and profits overtime.but i think there are different positive sides of gambling but it varies between person's based on opinions and perspective.

There are many interesting benefits of gambling, but because many were so focused about how they could win and once this wasn't achieved, then they try it paint the whole image of gambling as from the side they were not satisfied with, but many have made lots of fun gambling and couldn't remember in sharing their exciting experience, until one day they got it hard and make everyone know about such experience this time.

Gambling has both good and bad sides, but it depends on how a person approaches gambling. If you accept gambling as entertainment, it will definitely be a good medium for your mental development and entertainment. But if you take gambling as one of the main sources of income, then it can sometimes become dangerous for you. If you lose money in gambling and get mentally broken, then it may be the reason for bad relations with your family members.

The path one chose to go about gambling doesn't matter rather what matters is how you go about the path you chose, taking gambling as a means of getting income doesn't mean you will put all hope in there because you should be aware that in gambling winning is not guarantee, so knowing this will help to reduce so much, believe and trust though some people still go the wrong way even after having or getting the awareness that winning is not guarantee and sometimes they are blind by greed and too much expectations, making them look like they don't have knowledge and understanding.

Most of the posts I have come across here in the gambling section has always centered on negativity about gambling. If it's not about gambling making someone go broke, it will be about one negativity or the other. Sometimes reading the comments in those posts scares me, because of how some people describe their horrifying gambling experiences. This made me to come up with this post to ask this important question; Is gambling really that bad? Are there no good effects of gambling on people? Gambling can't just be all bad all the time. Well if you think it's all bad, why are you still gambling?

gambling have a good side but the thing is that most people who does not benefit from gambling are the one that always condemn the fact that the gambling does not have any benefit, but I stand to clear they doubt, that if a gambling is something that people is not getting benefit from you will not be see much traffic in gambling, because most people who participate in gambling there are the one who says that a gambling does not have any help financial profit because they are losing often but those one who is benefiting who is winning once in a while in gambling you can't see them coming out to say any negative thing about gambling because there are beneficiaries of gambling

I do get your point, however I believe the main reason why many person condemn gambling because if comparison is made between the person that are winning and those that are losing, you will agree with me that the numbers of losing is far greater than the numbers of winning. The is gambling is a game of fun and entertainment, also is a game of luck and is only those that are lucky that do benefits from it and it is rarely few. I believe this are the reason why we are seeing people always talking about the negative side of gambling instead of the positive side. If the numbers of person that winning is greater than those that are loosing I believe the reverse will be the case.

It is true that there are more losses than wins in gambling, but there are gamblers who, despite having a high winning rate, lose in gambling due to uncontrolled gambling management. Even if they lose due to their own mistakes after winning, gambling is still blamed, which is why the negative aspects of gambling are also highlighted more. Such gamblers will never find a good side of gambling because they could not manage gambling properly even after getting positive results in gambling.

Sure there is a good side of gambling,for example. the excitement we get while gambling is also part of the good thing we get from gambling, though some people may not add this when we are talking about the good side of gambling. But those that really understand what gambling is all about will know what I'm actually talking about, because our Major reason for gambling is supposed to be just for fun and entertainment even if there are other rewards that is attached to it but we just have to go with the mindset of having fun with it, because if you are hoping to make profit from gamble maybe after gambling for like 3 to 4 months without experiencing win you will just feel that there is nothing good about gambling but once you're going with the intention of having fun you won't feel this way.

Most people who say gambling is bad are people who lose in gambling, they lose because they can't control themselves, they want to win big amounts that's why they always gamble, people who think they can double their money instantly and are not responsible for the risks they experience.

It’s true that most gamblers face more losses than wins but the ones who actually manage to win often fall into the trap of poor control. even with a high winning rate if there’s no proper bankroll management or discipline those wins eventually disappear. the mistake is often on the gambler yet the blame goes to gambling itself which then makes the negative side stand out more and get highlighted as if gambling never gives any positive outcome at all. When someone gets positive results but still ends up losing because they couldn’t stop or manage their play it creates frustration. instead of recognizing their lack of control they conclude that gambling is always bad. this is why so many gamblers keep repeating the same cycle. they win at first feel confident that they finally figured out the strategy then they play longer and risk more only to end up losing what they gained and even more. in the end they walk away blaming the casino or the game itself instead of seeing that their lack of discipline was the real problem.

If those same gamblers had set clear boundaries and stopped once they reached their winning target the story could have been completely different. self control and money management are what separate casual entertainment from destructive gambling. someone with discipline can still enjoy the fun side of gambling because they know when to walk away while someone without limits will always see gambling as a negative force that ruins their money and peace of mind. Gamblers who fail to manage themselves will never really see any good side to gambling since every win is eventually followed by a bigger loss. the real difference lies in having control and respecting limits because without that gambling will only ever look negative no matter how many times you win along the way. with the right mindset and management it can stay just a form of entertainment but without it the cycle of loss frustration and blame will keep repeating

I've seen many people saying that since they saw person X win big at casino Y, then they will play at casino Y. It's the same game, because they believe they will also win. They don't consider that the chances of them winning are very low.

Yes, that's true, I have seen some people make such kind of statement or have such kind of idea because they saw someone winning at a particular casino, they thought that if they themselves start gambling there too that it's going to be the same but what they didn't realize is that everyone can not have the same luck at the same time and in the same place. It's possible I can win huge in casino Y, while someone else could win a huge amount in casino x.

No! This is not true. Bad is subjective to people, some parents don't like their children to gamble and they called it all sort of names because they are not ready to deal with the psychological trauma that comes with gambling addiction. If you are a parent, you will understand better and they don't do it but the way they see some gamblers has becomes a problem they created for their self is the reason why many parents don't like to see their children involved even they are old enough.

If you have experience how some gamblers can be very nonchalant, you will understand why some guardians says gambling is bad. Imagine you given school fee to your child to pay school fee and he used it to gamble, such experiences that fly around is the reason why many of people don't see the good side of gambling because the bad side outshine the good side. Nevertheless, gambling is very fun if you understand what you are doing in it.

This is true, but unfortunately, when one gambler brags to another about his winnings, then, of course, the second gambler will start wanting the same. And the first thing he will think is that the casino where the first one went is very successful and honest.
And I absolutely understand the situation when one poker player brags to another and this motivates the other to study strategy or analysis, but when one gambler wins money in slots, and the second runs to play these slots, then this is a rather strange situation.

This made me to come up with this post to ask this important question; Is gambling really that bad?

I can't tell you gambling is completely bad  but If gamble becomes unfair to you or anyone then that person in question cause it, in the sense that there is no way a player will gamble for fun and still say gamble is bad, it is when you get carried away by greed and want to solve all your real life problems through gambling then when it later hit you hard  you will now screem louder that gambling is bad.

Are there no good effects of gambling on people?

Definitely their is, which is the relaxation and the comfort we are talking about, as a matter of fact gambling main purpose is to have good and quality time with friends and family. Gambling get you to be well entertained and stuffs like that, gambling keeps you warm when bored.

Gambling can't just be all bad all the time.

Nothing is completely bad all the time, their must be a positive side as well, however if a player can be fair and do what is right I can assure that player involved with endless peace and comfort at the later end of the game.

Well if you think it's all bad, why are you still gambling?

That's the question that is still yet unanswered till date, many that spread bad news all over about gambling are still the folks that gamble with everything in them. However constant lost chasing has made so many folks to keep running back to their vomit and that action of theirs is rather exposing them to more risk and lost.

Therefore it's not a big deal after all, if you are complaining about gambling that it's bad and all that then it's just better you stay off instead of running round a cycle.

[fruktik]

There is a good side to gambling and I’ve mentioned it at least twice before if my memory is to be believed. For example, in California they use the state lottery to pay for school supplies for teachers. It is extremely helpful and a way for people who are bad at math to have a role in teaching others to be better.

Well, at least that's it. But often the money ends up in the wrong place. If buying lottery tickets actually benefited people, I'd buy them. But as it is... Only those close to the Emperor profit from this. This has long been known. Ugh, I hate the government that runs my country. Everything is just for their own enrichment and nothing in return. The very thought of it is disgusting. So be it... It's the choice of people who are used to living in shit.

I think  it's physiological, if you view gambling as entertainment and you gamble for the thrill of it, with money you are prepared to lose, there is a different view to how you then see gambling. If you view it as a platform or source of income for yourselves so you invest with money you shouldn't be using, ultimately as you lose which you will, it will affect you negatively and I feels that's what we see the most on the forum through shared experiences. We can't keep blaming the vises when we are the ones using them in ways we seem fit and when the consequences come we just blame the vice as opposed to hold ourselves for the actions we take.

Yes you are right, majority of the folks spreading negative impressions about gambling are people that came in to gambling system with the intention of buying a house, car and other good things of life with gamble and when things didn't go as expected they got worked up and start saying bad about it.

Gamble wasn't created for you to get riches with it, possibly if you approach it with such mentality you will definitely want to criticize it when it didn't favoured you so the right thing there is for you to just do it for the fun and save yourself from it negative impact.

I share the story of one of my relatives. He is mentally ill. After going to the doctor, he is given many medicines. But even after that, he cannot sleep properly at night. Later, his health starts getting worse. He smokes a lot of cigarettes. I think he will have more problems because of these cigarettes. Later, one day, I go to the doctor with him. When I tell the doctor that he smokes a lot despite being sick. Then the doctor tells me that if he stops smoking, he will become mentally ill even more. Although he suffers some loss because of this, he is saved from a big loss.

Likewise, gambling harms people. But sometimes, if you focus on gambling to get rid of mental instability, depression, tension, you can be saved. But it must be within control. Within limits.

Every gambler sure does have a role to play, whether they’re gambling for fun or make some quick bucks from it. And how well they play this role determines whether or not they’ll be creating a safe zone or a safe playground for themselves in the casino. As a gambler, You can’t be deliberately putting in money meant for something else or one you’re not ready to lose with hopes of actually winning. While it’s good to be hopeful, we must understand at all times that gamblers are supposedly meant to lose more often than they win so losses should be expected at all times.

Most of us gamblers have a winning mentality which is our reason for gambling but that doesn't erase the likelihood of losses since people tend to lose more than they win so it depends on one's approach towards gambling that will tell if they are responsible or not. However, the good side of gambling is just that you should never gamble to the extent of addiction and start gambling irresponsibly, even if you do not win most of the time, but it won't be a problem. The good side of gambling is not always about the win but about how you can be able to comport yourself and not go beyond your limit.

Some people might have more good stories of gambling to tell than others and this is due to how opportune they have become during gambling. They have also worked on their discipline and luck is mostly on their side, but I can tell you categorically that there are more chances that you will lose your gambling games than winning. Even in the cause of gambling, it is always more advisable and beneficial to you if you can just keep it in your mind while playing that you are most likely to fail than win in a gambling rounds.

This thoughtful thinking or mindset is a defensive way of gambling at a safe side which helps to control your expectations and boundaries towards gambling. When you gamble while accepting the rules of gambling of which losing and failure is also a part of it, then it becomes a shield against huge losses because you are able to control what goes out to your gambling budgets.

We all want something out of gambling, otherwise nobody would be doing it, the issue isn't about wanting something out of it but rather about what it is you want, you pointed out some solid examples of things people want from gambling that they obviously will not be able to get unless they are extremely lucky and that doesn't happen everyday or to everybody, we should just be able to keep what we want as low as possible so that the disappointment of not being able to get it through gambling will not hit soo hard as when we keep asking for the near impossible.

I could not agree with you. Everyone might have his/her own hobby, and gambling is one of them too. So, someone's hobby might be gambling, and in this case, the person may invest in gambling even if s/he become loser as to fulfill almost every hobby we must have to cost a lot.
