Gambling is not a scam; it's already a publicly known fact that it's built and supposed to be for entertainment and not a place to go and chase quick money. When you go in there with the intention to make real quick money and you lose your money instead, you consider it to be a scam. Those who gamble and get addicted to gambling have their own personal problems and lack of discipline that lead them into it, and they were never forced to gamble.

Gambling addiction means increased mental stress, if a person addicted to gambling loses in gambling, then he becomes a neighbor of gambling again. And if that person keeps losing money like this, he keeps looking for money to enter gambling later. And he will walk around the neighborhood alone on the streets and sell something to someone and collect money to gamble again.
I have seen some people, some addicted to drugs and some gamblers, who are looking for different strategies to collect money. So such an entrepreneurial thing can be observed among gamblers too, so of course gambling addiction is serious and corrupts people in society in various ways.

Which they are to stay away from anything that will make them to get addicted, and make sure they gamble responsibly by betting with the money they can afford to lose and not be affected by it, which they are not to have any emotional issues and also know the right when to walk away from gambling, to also understand that gambling is to be for entertainment, which they are not meant to treat it as an alternative in making profit.

Gambling in a controlled manner is a different matter, but gambling uncontrollably without control can be called a silent killer. Many people start by believing that they are in control, but later on, a situation arises where they have to go to rehab to get rid of the addiction. Most people gamble for fun, but they themselves do not know when they become addicted. Therefore, they have to come out of it without hiding the harm of gambling.

[Supreme Donvic]

Yes gambling addiction is a real silent killer, some people have lost their family because of gambling addiction it has made some people commit suicide, I heard of a news that a man used his property for gambling and when he lost he committed suicide because he has lost everything, gambling addiction is something that we should not have in us because it destroys human more than any other thing a lot of gamblers struggle to make money and then use it to gamble and then go hungry what kind of in life is that, is not a life a human should be living.
I also know of a gambler who is so addicted to gambling and he started stealing and in one occasion he stole someone's money and that was how they killed him in the spot they used jungle Justice and ended his life, gambling addiction is very bad in the society and should be discouraged if you are gambling because you want to become rich you are making a very big mistake and if you don't stop it will lead you to addiction gamble for fun only.

All thanks to God at least someone in this forum is being supportive on the stand that gambling is not a scam, because of the amount of lost some may have experienced in the process of gambling  they make others believe gambling is a scam without knowing that the lost he experienced is only because of his gambling strategy.  Gambling in one game that increases once hope with zero percent assurance which is why we are supposed to understand that their is no game with hundred percent assurance,  even if it may appear very soft, sweet and favourable. We must have it in mind that there is no game that what's to be trusted in

It may be easy to become addicted without prior notice and as such, one must always be on the lookout. It is prudent to remain down to earth and acknowledge that no human being is totally immune to addiction. Limit your time and financial cost spending as a precautionary step, prior to playing. Once you have surpassed these limits quit on the spot and avoid concentrating on other hobbies and focus on healthy and better productive activities.

The addiction to gambling can be a real silent murderer. not because the games they are playing are frauds. but because of the extent to which it can influence an individual in terms of their mindset and behavior with time. As stated. people are intended to gamble as a form of entertainment but most individuals get into gambling hoping they will get an easy payoff only to be disappointed and suffer losses. Lack of discipline will see one seeking to chase losses. borrowing money or even being irrational simply to continue playing. It is there that the real danger is. There is no game that will ensure success. limits and control is important to ensure entertainment is not turned into an addiction that is detrimental.

I believe gambling addiction is a silent killer. There are no symptoms; you may see a healthy person, but deep within, they are suffering from depression and physical disabilities. They may look happy outside, but deep inside, they are lonely and helpless.

What makes it a silent killer they starts unnoticed until it's accumulated over the years, and all the symptoms appear after so many years of concealing it.

I have read reports of physically healthy people, but once they start gambling, no one notices the changes in their appearance until they suffer from a heart attack and manic depression.

What are the other symptoms that you can think of that will make gambling addiction a silent killer? Let's explore this so we can inform.

First of all, we must agree that ANY addiction is evil! Addiction to video games, drugs, alcohol, and even food, religion, or work-it’s all bad!
 Addiction means we can no longer control ourselves or make sound decisions, which means that ultimately, we become easily manipulated through these “weaknesses” of ours. The end result will be physical, mental, and financial problems. Unfortunately, people also tend to deceive themselves, trying to convince themselves that it’s not an addiction, that it’s just a temporary state, that it’s not dangerous, or something similar. And that’s already a very “bad sign.” Such problems should be addressed by doctors and psychologists...

When it develops into an addiction, it becomes scary because they'll do anything to get a little more money. I think drug addiction is scarier because they can't get by without a new fix, whereas a gambler can get by without gambling even if they don't have the money, they won't suffer withdrawal like a drug addict. But they'll still keep looking for money to gamble again, to win back their losses. So, you can't bet too much, because then you'll always be trying to win back your losses.

I agree. Drug addicts are more dangerous.
Drug addicts lose control over their minds when they are not able to take drugs. They can do anything, including killing people for money. I know a lot of young drug addicts who commit crimes like stealing things from people's houses so they can sell those and manage money to buy the drugs. There is a pill named Yaba, which is very popular in Asian countriesm especially in Myanmar. Bangladesh and India. Myanmar Produces Yaba on a large scale, and they sell it in Bangladeshi local markets. The drug addicts are doing everything to get a pill daily.

That is part of the misery of life but many that are looking for money through gambling may not be aware of so many things they needed to put in place for them to be profitable gamblers. There are only few profitable gamblers and people that are thinking like becoming like their gambling influencers may be doing a lot of mistakes making money without being staged.

Yes, in fact many people believe they can be profitable with gambling, that's very wrong because many will say that when their luck strikes they will take advantage of winning a lot of money and that they don't mind spending some money in the process, but this is not the case, if at least we could predict how much we will win it would be different, the only way is to bet on sports, even then it is not certain.

Of course, gambling can be profitable, but the amount is limited, research can be used to predict gambling, but winning cannot be confirm. The results of gambling are completely unpredictable, no matter how many strategies we use, we cannot be confirm of the results, this is not possible for anyone. People who think that it is possible to win a lot of money quickly through gambling are the ones who face big losses while gambling. The chances of losing are always higher than winning when gambling, so it is wise to make informed decisions and gamble with the right knowledge.

Any gambler that thinks that they can take advantage of luck don't know what they are saying because luck doesn't inform them when it will come. It may happen the day they least expect it, luck is unpredictable likewise winning. The best thing is just for a gambler to stick by gambling with an amount they can afford to lose since they can predict when luck will be on there side.

People call gambling a scam because they probably haven't been lucky with it, if they were making profits they would be proud to showcase that they are gamblers. Just because people get addicted to gambling doesn't make it a scam. The actual meaning of a scam is a defrauding scheme, no one is deceiving them to stake uncontrollably.

It's very wrong to commit to the thought that gambling is a scam because in this case it's just an addicted individual who just can't control himself and decided to device a means demeaning of himself by begging just to go satisfy his addiction urge to gamble. Gambling isn't the scam in that case, it's the gambler that's the scammer having told someone a different thing just to earn pity to be given money and then later used it to gamble instead.

I agree with you. In fact, no gambler should bet aggressively on a regular basis hoping that luck will come or that an opportunity will come. Gambling is all about luck. It is completely unpredictable when positive things will happen. People make mistakes when they start believing that one day they will get a chance and make a lot of profit. This kind of hope keeps taking them deeper into gambling day by day. And they should never think about additional profit. If they gamble, they will lose regularly, they have to accept it. And they have to set their budget accordingly. If they win, it is a bonus for them. But if they win regularly, there will be opportunities for them to make big profits. This kind of thinking should be completely avoided.

No matter how you claim you are gambling for fun , just try not to ever get addicted to it because when one is addicted to gambling they are prompt to do crazy stuff like going for loan, selling their property, even going for their life savings , just to try and get wealthy fast with just hitting the jackpot without knowing they are only messing up their lives gradually .

[Dunamisx]

Either gambling addiction or any other form of addiction with me engage into is not good, it can harm us in such a way that we may not like the consequences to what you may be seeing me later in life, better not to be addicted in doing something than being found addicted, because once this is set in, it deprives us of the phone we should be having and make frustration and pain the essence to why we are gambling and what we see from it.

The way gambling addiction have turn a-lots of people into a critical situation by now they suppose know reality of gambling that is not source of income, is not that gambling is not way of earnings but is not for everybody especially those that are poor are only managing to survive with their family; but still taking the little they’ve into gambling instead of them to use to chill with their friends and family.

They said that in life we’ve to risks in order for we to be successful but not like gambling, because it involves of so many risks and that’s why I will never advise anyone to join gambling rather tell to invest in any other things than wast money in gambling.

Though not all addicts gets killed in the process, but it's absolutely true that gambling addiction can be a silent killer, most especially for those who usually don't notice it on time. Most gamblers sees their ill habits as something regular and normal, so they may be unable to access themselves to tell if they have gone into the addiction stage or not. A lot of times it's because they are more frequent with gambling as see it as something normal in their everyday life, but it's actually not.. addiction can be prevented if it's spotted at an early stage..
