Is There No Good Side Of Gambling?

[DrBeer]

I wouldn't say gambling is entirely bad because while majority of the gamblers express their frustration in their gambling journey, their are few who have made fortune and won a life changing bet and would call them the lucky gamblers, people like this can never condemn gambling in any way.
Gambling is a money multiplier, you stake with small amount money and you expect huge profit and sometimes it works and this is what entices many gamblers to gamble even for a long time without quitting. To those who have gambled and they have made more losses than win, gambling is bad, but those who have made more wins than losses, gambling is good.

Theoretically, yes, but in practice, the probability of winning is extremely low, if only because probability theory gives exactly such calculations Therefore, I do not consider gambling, where winning is based solely on chance, to be a good method of earning money.
 Such games, in their purest form, are a game of “pulling fate by the beard” Not counting on winning, but only on an amazing coincidence. Therefore, gambling should be treated as paid entertainment, which can sometimes give you a gift, completely by chance.

Gambling itself an expereince so that is what we get from the gambling and people claim that it is nothing and spending money is useless but the same thing we do for watching cinema, paying tickets for a sport so it's all just expereince and the best part is if you are lucky you can win money which can be small or extremely big that can change your life completely.

One just need to be careful, that's all and restrict from everything that will make them to do things wrongly, which won't produce anything beneficial to their lives or their investment.
So by that reason, they should take gambling to be a game of entertainment and not a game of making money or becoming rich through it, which its not designed to be so and might affect their mental health as well, if its taken in a wrong way.

Gambling actually only becomes a problem when we decide to treat it as a major source of income, we want the money and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that but attempting to depend on it is what becomes the problem, it's a game of chance and luck not something we should depend on long term, this is also why we shouldn't be gambling with money we can't afford to lose, we should just stick to using our discretionary income when ever we want to gamble.

Even before writing was invented, gambling was a part of people's lives they gambled with animal bones. I don't think something that's so long in our history only has negative aspects. We just witness and hear so many bad stories about it, which creates a negative perception. We shouldn't view gambling as good when you win and bad when you lose.

When a gambler is somehow lucky and wins a life-changing amount from gambling, they give gambling a positive review; when someone who is also reckless loses all he gets to gambling, they blame it all on gambling. This is just the nature of people; they judge things based on what they have witnessed or experienced. It is just so bad that most people happen to read or see more of addicted gamblers and their stories than the positive side, and they just end up generalising gambling to be something that could not offer anything other than negativity.

I see your point and it's true different people have different perspectives and understanding, just like what you said if a certain gambler wins a lot it's going to be a good feedback to this venue but if the outcome bring them failures and heavy losses then the blame is on gambling, the good side will be seen by those who manifest luck and life changing experienced while on the otherside most likely suffer and addiction if too much engage and many attempts to recover what they've already loss.

Gambling is not a guaranteed source of income, so considering it as a main source of income is also the biggest mistake, this type of decision has no real possibility, because the whole thing depends on luck, and therefore making it a source of income is a decision that can definitely put you in a situation that can definitely destroy your financial situation. Gambling is not something to be relied on in the long run, so you should never gamble with money that if lost will affect your life or responsibilities.

this is how you understand gambling but another person not understand the gambling in such way so I believe that in gambling you don't need to use gambling as a source of income once you are using gambling to depend on a way of surviving it is obvious not you are going to be addicted in somebody because you have already seen gambling as only means or surviving, so most of people today who are gambling addict, because there expectation is bigger than the way gambling acts, we should not considering gambling as our source of making money that will give us a lot of disappointment

It's a case to case basis, there are gamblers that are doing it full time and that's why for them it's a good source of income. But with the normies like us, this is just like a side quest that we can do and a way to have fun. While for the full time ones, that's not a mistake for them. Although with the majority of us, this is how it goes along. We can't stop those who think that they're good as full time gamblers and they're the ones to determine it by themselves if it's going to work as how they have planned it to be.

But that's the point I am trying to make, there are people out there who will willing treat gambling if not as a primary source of income then as their direct alternative and most times this usually lead to them losing much more than they anticipated, we can hope to get some extra cash from gambling but we shouldn't be dependent on it as we have no way of guaranteeing that we are going to win, that's why we should gamble with what we can afford to lose, if we win then that's our luck if we lose then so be it.

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 is made for entertainment but gamblers who use gambling for earning money are affected by the negative effects of gambling. The topics where the negative effects of gambling are discussed are for your awareness. Most of them are educational so that you can be careful and protect yourself from gambling addiction.

The direct answer to your question is that gambling is not bad if you can gamble while controlling yourself. It is necessary to manage your bankroll and limit your play so that it does not go to the addictive stage. Gambling for entertainment reduces the risk of addiction to a large extent but keep your emotions in check when you lose. Honestly, most gamblers gamble for money but those who can control themselves can reduce their losses in gambling and have a lower risk of addiction.

Gambling actually only becomes a problem when we decide to treat it as a major source of income,

That's just the whole truth, you can't eat your cake and have it back possibly one must surely go for the other. Most times some of us brings problem by ourselves by seeing gambling to be a shortest means of making wealth, when we probably might have seen how it has distroyed so many people in the passed that took that same path .

Another thing is that the people that keep bullying gamble and making it look as if it's the most evil thing ever are those set of gamblers that probably might have learned the hard way due to their persistent urge and greed, perhaps they think that the best they can do to express their frustration and anger is by saying crazy and disspeakable things about gamble. Furthermore, if you ask me I will say gamble still got some good side if you do things right, the deal is just gamble with what you can let go, catch the pure fun in it no greed, no lost chasing and everything we be cool.

Since the beginning of civilization, people have found pleasure in gambling and to get pleasure, they used to bet with animal bones. But in modern civilization, people are now looking for a source of income from gambling. Those who find pleasure in gambling cannot be affected badly even if they lose in gambling. But those who participate in gambling for income and if they start going bankrupt, then gambling definitely has a negative effect on them. That is, if you lose in gambling, gambling is bad and if you profit from gambling, gambling is good.

Gambling can be a positive thing for a lot of people. It doesn’t mean that you only have fun and enjoy yourself when you’re winning.

Gambling can be something you do socially, when out with friends. Beers and food with your friends, having a bet or two on the game.

Gambling only becomes a problem if you bet with more money than you can afford to lose so please, ensure that you gamble responsibly.

It's never been bad if you're in the right mind when you gamble. What people show to the non gamblers is their misfortune and that's why it's often said to never gamble because they might end up badly.

But if these irresponsible gamblers only shown the good side of why they gamble, these people will not chant them with so many bad words about gambling.

Gambling itself can never be a problem, the only reason why people always suffer from it is the irresponsibility of each player, the limitlessness in the game and the excessive expectations. All of these lead each player to a situation where their every decision is completely wrong. If you play for entertainment purposes, then it will never cause any harm, but when we think about income through it, then this whole thing will take a turn that will completely lead your normal life to a bad situation.

It was never been a problem yet this thing is created just for the sake of fun and entertainment and the only problem on here is on how someone would be dealing up with it and thats the most common problem on what gambler could have. Its always been a common problem for most gamblers just because they've been that assuming that they can get rich because of gambling. Its always been best that you should be knowing about your priorities when dealing up with gambling on which this should really be just that for the sake of fun and entertainment but due to that kind of mentality on trying out to make money with it then this is where gamblers do fall into the pit of addiction on which we know that once you would be able to have this kind of approach then this what pushes you out to play even more and the worst is that it could lead up to disaster and this is something that you would be needing up to look or getting aware of.

People would be that going for good side on which this is for entertainment but it becomes bad when you do get addicted into it just because you've been going for other way around. Never make yourself that having this kind of mentality if you wont be that wanting to end up miserable.

Yes, you are right. Gambling can never be the main source of income. It is just a form of entertainment. I have seen people who use gambling as a source of income or expect big profits in a short period of time, they face repeated losses.

A few days ago, I saw a gambler depositing money hoping for some bonus. When he was depositing, he expected big profits. He started getting good returns through good wins in a few matches. But, his expectation of quick big wins forced him to empty his entire bankroll. I told him that if he had placed small bets repeatedly and without using his entire bankroll at once in the hope of big profits, he might have made good profits.

Then they had no choice but to regret it.

I have meant several friends that prophesy that they will never leave to gamble no matter how people kick against those that are involved in gambling because gambling has helped them in a several occasions that even man has failed them with empty promises, i believe that those that will not say good about gambling are those that has not been in a critical situation that it happened that any one you ask for money will end disappointing or people that you ask for don't have in given time, but as you just stake immediately to see if you can win believe me that is the time most games are likely to play for you and if it has happened for anyone here, i have withiness it myself when it happen direct to me, so there are always a good side of gambling.

Gamble is not a bad thing but that depends on how the gambler play along with it. If gamblers are to have the same mindset as the responsible ones that knows how to gamble safely without being addicted to it, everyone that is into it will not have to lose what they can not afford to risk and become addicted to it either.
As for those who love gamble because they have luckily win a bet when someone make fake promises to them, so because of that they love gamble and would never agree to anyone who kick against gamble are also doing wrong because they think gamble is good because it has only favoured them when they were not having anything.

Gamble can be favourable but they shouldn't fully trust it because winning is hard because luck is difficult to find.

Gambling is not bad, but if the purpose of the person who plays is to earn money, then gambling becomes bad only for him. In this gambling game, some people enter gambling to spend time alone and to enjoy pleasure or to have fun, for them gambling is not to earn money but to enjoy pleasure. Even if they gamble for a long time, they will not become addicted to gambling. Those who become addicted to gambling mainly highlight the terrible situation in this gambling.
The effect of gambling on their lives is such that even after destroying all their wealth, they cannot say that they are gambling, it mainly depends on the person who gambles. Therefore, gambling should not be entered for the purpose of earning money but for the purpose of having fun.

Gamblers who gamble for fun can also become addicted and lose a lot of money. The point is, whether you gamble for money or for fun, you need to play with control. You know how much money you have available. Just like you set a budget for spending money, set a specific budget for gambling. This budget is to prevent you from losing too much money.
If you think about it differently, gambling can be bad for the gambler if you lose money and good for the gambler if you win. Gambling can be bad for most gamblers if they don't control themselves.

Very few follow this, while most of them are get carried away due to their emotions. Gasmbling is really fun at the beginning and it can be the same way forever only if the money doesn't hurt us financially or it will turn into a nightmare and many can't even fight a way out from that situation ever.
