Gambling improve lives

[demonica]

But if it mostly caters or the target customers for this are the rich locals or foreigners then I believe it would be more beneficial. Average people won't be the one suffering from losses and those rich people have more money to spend in the casino. It could be both a win-win situation for the government and the locals.

The government should also consider banning gambling for locals so they won’t lose money, while tourists who are ready to spend keep casinos profitable and taxes flowing.

You can’t promote gambling to attract tourists and then allow locals to gamble as well, that only defeats the whole purpose.
As much as possible there should be no online gambling, because this is what really hurts locals, especially with low minimum bets that easily tempt people who don’t have much to begin with.

I get the point, I think this is also a thing in other countries. But if they allowed rich locals to gamble, perhaps they can use it to make connections and attract foreign investors. It could be one pros of allowing rich locals on that casino. The government can still earn from it as these rich people will be using their personal funds for gambling. Perhaps they could set a certain requirements in order for locals to be able to enter the casino so that they can still limit the people who can gamble there. Making a strict law or regulations for locals while foreigners can easily access the gamble casino.

From that angle it doesn’t really improve our lives, because most of us usually lose when we gamble and only a few get lucky. Overall the gambling business is very profitable, and that’s mainly because of gamblers who keep playing regularly. When this topic talks about improving lives, it’s really referring to job creation, not to gamblers spending money on gambling as a hobby. 

If we're talking about creating jobs, then I agree. No one has any doubts about that.

I view gambling as a source of income. That's where I have major problems. I can't consistently win. It's completely impossible. No matter how hard I try, it's all in vain.

I think this happens in other countries as well as it happens in your own country. Allowing the wealthy locals to gamble could have some benefits like helping them build connections and even attract foreign investors as the government can also still earn revenue since these people are using their own funds to engage in the gambling industry. That said, it will make more sense to put strict rules in place for the locals by setting clear requirements like income level to other conditions that can limit who is allowed to gamble etcetera and at the same time, the foreigners can be given an easier access while the locals are more regulated, I don't know if this makes any sense but I think it should be able to give a balance which should help the economy.

It's nothing new that the gambling industry can benefit the state through tax revenue, job creation, and tourism. Several countries have already implemented this, and it's certainly beneficial. However, while this is a positive aspect for the government, it doesn't eliminate potential social costs, including increased rates of problem gambling, financial problems, and other issues. Even though the implementation of gambling is regulated only in gambling zones in several regions, this still does not fully prevent its social impact if the government is unable to regulate it more strictly.

it is not realistic to view gambling as entirely good or entirely bad. from an economic perspective it can help governments through tax revenue job creation and increased tourism which has been proven in many countries. however ignoring the social risks hidden behind these benefits is extremely dangerous. problem gambling addiction family and financial crises and social instability are real and serious risks. even if gambling is restricted to specific zones its negative effects will inevitably spread through society if the government fails to enforce strict laws effective monitoring and responsible regulation. therefore the real question is not whether gambling should exist or not. rather the most important issue is how strictly it is regulated and how responsibly it is managed with social accountability.

I could say that it improves life in the fun, but this is linked to Knowing how to play and knowing how to control money , because something so beautiful and fun can Become something bad if it turns into an addiction.

Yes, that is the best way to put it because gambling can improves life when you are going the right way. But I don't know why the op didn't put it that way, because following the topic might even push someone into taking on unnecessary risk thinking that winning is easy to get in gambling. The only impact that gambling can put in our lives is when you are only in for the fun because any gambler that is depending slowly on gambling is not a responsible person.

Gambling can improve life for those who are winning big amounts of money, especially when someone is winning on a regular basis and the individual is always using his money for something important and planning on improving themselves, gambling improves when you’re winning.
Well for those who doesn’t win how would gambling improve their life because when they’re using their money to gamble and doesn’t win I really don’t know what would become of them if that will also improve their lives which is why it’s also important to gamble wisely, there are essential of life and when they’re using their gamble with essentials there is going to be difference and changes which is gambling with wisdom and gambling responsibly.

Kazakhstan is proceeding with a high-profile development plan for the establishment of new gambling zones across several of its regions, in an effort to enhance local economies and draw visitors. According to a statement by Minister of Tourism and Sports Yerbol Myrzabosynov, the government will establish controlled casino regions within Mangystau, Almaty, East Kazakhstan, and Zhetysu. This development constitutes one of the most significant shifts in the country’s policy on gaming thus far, adding new destinations to the already existing legal enclaves at Borovoye and Kapchagay, with the goal of giving a fresh boost to the national tourism sector.

The idea is certainly promising, but it is unclear at this point how popular these gambling zones will be among tourists. If everything is implemented in a way that meets consumer needs, then we can indeed expect an influx of tourist gamblers. Judging by the description, there will be several zones, which means that they will be able to accommodate a large number of gamblers from other countries. In addition, locals will also play, and people from neighboring countries will form the core of visitors to the new casinos. We wish the Kazakh authorities luck in implementing their ambitious ideas.

Yes, if someone doesn't win, then gambling is definitely ruining their life at that moment. After all, they're simply wasting time and money on this activity, and ultimately, they're no longer expecting to win, but rather to have the casino return at least some of their funds. And if this guy wins, they'll be happy, but that's not the end of the story. The casino knows how to wait, and ultimately, most of these lucky ones lose absolutely everything they've won so far. They naively believe that the casino will continue to generate profits for the rest of their lives. But in a casino, all the odds and psychology are calculated and thought out. Therefore, the casino always wins.

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but one way that gambling does actually improve lives in the United States is that teachers use lottery winnings to help supplement their school supplies spending. Coming from a family of educators, these funds made a big difference.

It is worth mentioning it again mate, as this helps gambling to regain its reputation, as gambling is being treated now as bad. But winning in the lottery seems hard and as a teacher, they will be needing school supplies that often but it can still be worth it once they win, since it can supply them for a very long time.

If they still have an extra-money, they can as well help their co-teachers and as well as their students. But what I know is that a school or a government can also supply the items for the teachers and students sometimes. Or maybe it only happens on my country since it is not that rich as the US. People there can go independent.

It's the same in us that gambling helps to save lives too, and that's because a portion of the gambling profit of the government goes to the charities. And people that come to the charitable institutions are being helped in any way that they can but usually, it's about the hospital bills. That is because we don't have a good health care in the country. And so, these programs will help a lot of people if this will boost the profits that the government will get.

Charity is good but for gambling, if we want to speak anything positive about gambling such as saving of life, we should first acknowledge the impact of gambling on the players themselves and not the community support to charity as you mentioned, like someone winning a life changing jackpot.

That's just one of the help that it's giving but it's different when someone has won a jackpot and they have changed their lives. But don't forget that there were huge winners back then but reckless with spending and so, the once life that have changed by gambling turned them back to it seeking help again. So, any help and any change that has been made to anyone's life, we have to consider that. And having a charity from the casinos or government taxes collected from them is one good cause why people shouldn't make fun of gambling and only talk about addiction. Because you'll never know the man you hate whom so rich have lost a partial of his wealth to the casino donated to the charitable institutions for the help of the unfortunate people.

Maybe I'm just unlucky? I can't recall a time when gambling improved my life.

Honestly I do really have fun with gambling, but gambling hasn’t really changed my life in any way. Am a gambler, but I don’t always joke with risk management, I know am not always lucky whenever am gambling, so I don’t always joke with my risk management. Whenever I win from gambling, if I can continue gambling, then am just going to lose most of the money back to gambling, so I don’t even waste my time gambling big.

On the contrary, my pockets were empty. I had to pay back a loan I'd lost successfully. I had to pay off friends' debts.

You have to be careful when gambling, don’t just be carried away by your gambling activities, always make you are in control of yourself. As a gambler avoid selling your properties or going for loan because you want to gamble, it’s completely bad because at the end you just going to end up regretting the actions which you took.

Lack of financial management have made too jackpot winners to go bankruptcy multiple times, the issues around responsible gambling is that regardless if you win a jackpot or not, that experience, is important to manage yourself through all the time, Charity deductions from gambling winnings can either be classified under improving life but at third level and not directly the gambler involved if he is going to gamble away without management.

I agree with the fact that a well regulated casino can bring more impact to the economy and develop the people. It will be a risk to the people if it's not properly regulated too, so it should be the most important part to regulate. Gambling is one of the highest tax payers in most countries because of the amount they are generating. Even in the local casino, they still generate more too. That's why the government will gladly step in. Gambling doesn't improve people's lives but helps those who gamble responsibly. It's a self decision to use gambling to damage one life too. If this really works out well, yeah, definitely development will be guaranteed.

The fact that the wealth has failed to be sustained even after asset growth due to huge capital influx indicates why an asset management system is important to avoid falling back into poverty. I turn around and find that in the absence of control over the allocation of capital, a big win is just but a short route to financial destruction. We should distance social funds and operating capital because that would enable us to make a true contribution to the environment without loss of personal financial stability which should be the most important base of the long-term sustainability.

I could say that it improves life in the fun, but this is linked to Knowing how to play and knowing how to control money , because something so beautiful and fun can Become something bad if it turns into an addiction.

The improved life that the OP is talking about above is in line with the gambler's life itself being improved, but it's focused on those who will be employed through the government at the casino which they plan to open in the country, as they will no longer be unemployed, but that might be at the expense of those who are gambling.

The only way gamblers can really get to experience the positive side of gambling is when they treat it purely as an entertainment, rather than a kind of solution to a financial problem or an alternative way of making money. The moment that the mindset shifts from “I’m gambling to gamble or unwind” to “gambling can change my life with just that one win” then we know there’s a problem because such mindset encourages taking uncalculated risks in order to achieve that so called one win that’ll change their lives, especially to those that are relatively new to gambling.

It is a warning sign that the change of the intent of merely finding pleasure to finding economic changes is something we need to realise before it deteriorates. You have a strong point in asserting that the aspirations of transforming our lives by placing a single bet of some big amount will ruin our capacity to properly and objectively estimate risk. By maintaining our thinking to the levels of entertainment, we will not go far into illusions of getting emotionally stressed because winning is just a by-product, and not the fourth reason of endangering our lives by any means.

This country is actually making the right move by seeing gambling as a way to help boost the economy. Contrary to what others think that gambling only destroys lives, if this plan really gets realized it could actually improve lives by creating jobs.

And from the looks of it, the goal is to boost tourism, meaning the target isn’t really the locals. Their pockets won’t be the ones getting hurt, while the country still benefits from job creation and added economic activity.

Well it definitely drives entire economies of entire nations.

But it also comes at the cost of a lot of people losing their money. Tourism is fine and good but it takes a lot of regulation to make sure the entire gambling scene does not turn into something shady.

So it is definitely a doubled-edged sword.

Yes, this is one of the improved lives through gambling because of creation of employment. Not only that, it will also create taxation for the government with the casinos that are established in every area. So, with the employment that it creates which will be taxed as well together with the revenue of the casino. It's making people's live changed due to it as the money generated through it will also go back to its people through the funding from its taxes.

If we're talking about creating jobs, then I agree. No one has any doubts about that.

I view gambling as a source of income. That's where I have major problems. I can't consistently win. It's completely impossible. No matter how hard I try, it's all in vain.

If so - then I believe there is something wrong with your gambling approach. It's difficult to make gambling your primary source of income, replacing other sources – unless you own a significant portion of the casino's capital. Wealth will not come easily to gamblers - but there will always be some gamblers who become rich due to their luck. If everything you've done so far has been in vain, then change your mindset about gambling; treat gambling as a form of entertainment, even if you have to pay a high price for that enjoyment.

I never dreamed of getting rich from gambling - although it's not impossible, but I'm not willing to do it. Gambling is just entertainment - but the wrong approach will only trap the player into continuously playing without knowing when to stop.
