Gambling has changed life for good.

[Somto9Light]

Life always has the positive and negative and truthfully, gambling is real,it has helped people gained success overtime and achieved a lot.Gambling has changed lives for better and for worse.And the impact depends on how it’s used,who is using it, and whether control exists.Those people who became really productive from gambling actually gambled correctly and safely.

You're right, and surely everything has advantage and also disadvantages. Of a truth gambling has helped most people in achieving thier goal and there are also some people that gambling has helped when they had no one to help them so we can't possibly say that gambling is bad regardless the fact that I'm not one among this lucky people but I must say that gambling is real no matter what, rather it is due to the way most people are going about it that makes it look harmful which I don't usually consider it that way because if we are following it the right way I'm sure that there will be no complain.

A lot of things I see or hear people say is how gambling has destroyed their life and how gambling has made the life of some people useless and how gambling has separated families.  No one say the good part of gambling we all know that some set of people have won huge amount of money that change the life for good through gambling and this is the major reason why some set of people get into gambling because they see others that has won huge amount of money.
I know someone that has won huge amount of money and use the money to build a very beautiful house for himself and use some part of it to start up a business that his doing till date, what I'm saying is that gambling has changed the life of some people for good.
I believe some of us here have a relative, friend or someone we know or see that has won huge amount of money that has changed their life also.

In as much as gambling is concerned, it has destroyed the life of many and made many useless as said In the op. but However we can't deny the fact that what has been said is not true. Surely gambling has caused more harm than good. Although In the other hands it has made some to win and build houses and done some nice businesses and achieve alot in life. But the truth be told ,  people who succeeded through gambling are not much. The vast majority are losers.

None denies the fact that gambling have made people successful in their life. As said in the Op, it is the luckiest to be successful through gambling as he had mentioned some people. This means the term some people doesn't mean the majority of the gamblers. The winning is much about the luck as well as the learning to use it for good rather spending on alternate bets and losing the fund. The common mentality of people, they find themselves in a good position in gambling. When they loss out of the mistake they weren't able to accept and most of the time they feel completely low and feel stressed. When they express it to the community or with a friend they get relieved. For this reason we were able to see more number of negative stories about gambling than successful one's.

The achievement of a few people in the gambling world is a frequent attractant that defines other individuals to put their money in. I know the importance of luck that forms the final destination of everyone. Stress comes about when one loses since it is hard to believe the grey reality about our financial conditions in a snap. The fact that sad storeys are much more common than the good ones indicates that we should have a powerful mind to ensure that we do not get crushed by the harsh reality of the game.

Although it is hard to find gamblers that change their life with gambling even after winning huge amounts of money most of them still end up being broke after a while, this is what makes people say that gambling is a losing game because even those that win lose their profits back to it. Gambling has both the negative sides of it and also the positive sides of it as well, people focus more on the negative

Actually, it's the same in other areas too. For example, out of the many people who start or run a business from scratch, most fail and give up, and only a small number continue to struggle and eventually build a successful business after a difficult process. The same goes for trading. However, in gambling, the percentage of those who make big profits is indeed much smaller. However, for bettors who only bet with a specific budget, their losses have no impact on their lives, even if they never win big bets or the like. Because good money management and only setting aside a small amount of money for betting will not cause someone to go bankrupt. Those whose lives have become worse due to gambling fundamentally did not manage their finances well from the start. They bet beyond their own capabilities. And that is not good at all, not only in gambling but also in other matters.

Not many gamblers are lucky in this activity, so you need to to be smart in handling money if you are in the position of playing but have limited funds to begin with. If you don't know how to strategize, you can easily go bankrupt in this game.

It is of a necessity that we see how gambling could influence our lives positively, when we are gambling, we have to put it on an expectation that something about us must changed, which could be the perspective we view things, starting from logical reasonings, our financial status or even the overall exposure to gambling and sports of varieties, also, I must not forget the benefits of having fun by being entertained when we are gambling.

Gambling has both the negative sides of it and also the positive sides of it as well, people focus more on the negative

Because their mindset does not change after successfully getting a big win that makes the results of the winnings owned actually have to be used up again because of their mindset and quality of life improvement.

When we manage to get a big profit not only from gambling but even from the business that we run with difficulty, it will definitely make our quality of life or expenses increase, especially from gambling which we consider as luck and money that is obtained without the need to work hard to do any work or business to get it so that our selfish side becomes growing which makes the victory we have slowly run out just because of thinking that is not too precise.

Not a few of those who were reported in several articles who hit the jackpot actually got their lives back because of the wrong nature after they got a big win in gambling.

[LastKiss]

I have heard and seen people that have won big amount in gambling, not enough to build a house for themselves but they’ve misused those money and done nothing reasonable with them, so they find themselves back to point zero again.

People only plan their finances with amounts they're comfortable handling or that make sense to them.

When it comes to sudden large sums of money, such as winnings from gambling, the psychological effects of gambling may be more pronounced, making it easier for them to spend it more quickly than they would manage small amounts from other sources.

It’s true that when we have a large amount of money, we tend to spend it too easily. We stop keeping track of how much we’ve already spent and end up losing everything. That’s why money management is extremely important along with self-control especially when gambling. We need to know when to enjoy our winnings instead of throwing them back into the game. Giving up a real chance to change our lives just because we hope to double the money is honestly, very naive.

That is just a proof that many people gamble in a careless way. They actually know the nature of gambling, but they ignore the risk level of playing in a careless way. They keep gambling in that way, finally they get addiction because of gambling excessively. By they way, if all people gamble in a proper way, I think gambling won't destroy people's life. It may only cause people to lose small money.

Although In the other hands it has made some to win and build houses and done some nice businesses and achieve alot in life. But the truth be told ,  people who succeeded through gambling are not much. The vast majority are losers.

Yep. Only few people who can be called as successful gamblers. Many people are just losers because they tend to lose money. It is actually not surprising since we mostly rely on the luck factor. This is quite difficult to determine the possibility of winning the match.

I will not call 2 out of 10 to be of a much good that should be felt for it to be the talk of the town or overshadow the 8 which is in the negative result with 2 positive results out of 10.

I do not condemn gambling, gambling is what we make of it and winning are random but what makes the good part where players have made huge profit  to be silent and a loud noise about the negative effect is cause the negative is vast and can not be counted to the lives it has purportedly changed.

Many of the people that witnessed other players huge win that attracted them to gamble end at nothing but unquantifiable loss. So, where is the lie there if people are not singing aloud the negligible number of lives it has changed.

I think this is one of the most common mistakes made by gamblers, they do not have proper budget management and may not even keep track of their expenses. At some point, they might not see it as a problem because they can still afford it, but it will clearly become an issue in the future if it continues as a habit.

I often see gamblers lose the money they have already won because they do not know when to stop. Others sometimes reuse it as capital for another day instead of enjoying it. Occasionally, enjoying and celebrating each win with friends and loved ones is actually necessary, considering that luck in gambling does not come every day.

It’s actually rare to see this kind of story, but there are really individuals like this, just rarely shared. Most of the stories being shared are about how their addiction to gambling ruined them both emotionally and financially. Sometimes, reading this kind of story is refreshing. I think most gamblers aim for this; that’s why they remain persistent despite their losses. That’s also my dream. If this ever happens, I’m going to be content and quit gambling for good.

I agree that although some people have changed their lives positively through gambling, the instances are obviously not many and cannot be regarded as the standard. Luck is key to success in gambling and though one wins, the effectiveness of fund management is important towards the continuation of the winning. Another error made by many gamblers is their tendency to invest their winnings on an emotional level, which will most of the time result in more losses. Also, when winning, individuals are more likely to be confident and when mistakes occur they find it hard to accept their failure. This usually leads to stress and frustration, which influences their psychological health. Such experiences can be shared with friends or in a community to alleviate this pressure. That is why the negative news concerning gambling is much more frequent than the successful ones.

There are indeed few cases of success involving gamblers, because as we know, more than 95% are at loss the more they try. Moreover, the few who win may prefer to keep low profile, so people around don't get aroused about their winnings, so it's even less likely we are going to know a winner in our personal life. I know only people who won minor prizes, but never a jackpot or millionaire reward.

The only people I know who have been profiting from this industry are the ones who work for it, and make their income through wages or comissions, instead of playing and risking money for real.

I completely agree with what you said. Gambling does have many interesting stories and tales. Many people are tempted by the desire to get rich quickly. But this is what destroys them, because there are no shortcuts to riches. If you want to be rich, you have to work hard. Gambling offers a different thrill; it's a game of skill and luck. They know when to start and stop playing, and don't let emotions get the better of you. If you can control yourself, I don't think it's a problem. The most important thing is not to overdo it, because overdoing it can be detrimental.

get rich quick mindset is really what traps many people. Gambling should never be seen as a shortcut to success because real wealth still comes from hard work & consistency. Once emotions take over that’s when people start chasing losses & making bad decisions if someone treats gambling as entertainment, knows their limits & stops at the right time then it doesn’t automatically become a problem. Discipline and self control are the key w/o those even something meant for fun can turn harmful.

I believe some of us here have a relative, friend or someone we know or see that has won huge amount of money that has changed their life also.

Honestly... I do not know! I've heard a many stories here in the forum and in other online sites, but I've never met a relative or close friend whose life has been transformed with gambling.

But, I am not disagree of you, I agree that gambling has a good side, I just do not think that "happiness" that gambling brings is money... in fact, I think the problem is precisely when the focus on money is so great that it ruins everything else.

There are others ways to be happy on gambling... some people use gambling as a form of social entertainment: chatting, cheering together, having that extra emotion in a game... that is good too. It generates a sense of community and belonging when done with friends in a responsible and moderate way.

[CryptoYar]

You are right in saying that although most people focus on bad side of gambling, hope of life changing win is strong reason that makes people continue to play. To person who is struggling, big win can do more in day than years of hard work, and money can be used to build home or start business that will bring long term stability.
However, majority of people are worried about destroying of lives due to math of gambling, where big house of one person is mostly paid for by small losses of thousands of others. When friend or relative wins, gambling is no longer game of luck, but sense of hope for better future.
So, it is complicated topic, as it is true that it can leave gift for some people, and it ruins others, mostly depending on luck of person and way he or she spends his or her money.

Such stories are really very few, and this is the reason why they receive a lot of attention. Majority of the gambling related experiences posted online are about the losses, addiction and regret since this is the case of most players. It is cold fresh and yet a special sight to see a person whose life changed genuinely and he was able to walk away. Most gamblers actually win at one time or another but the biggest challenge is when to quit. They do not give up and instead pursue greater rewards and lose all that they won. Although it is natural to play the life winning lottery, one must remain realistic and careful. They should never depend on gambling to a solution and leaving when they win is usually the best thing to do.
