Gambling isn't bad

[AmaGold70]

I quite understand that gambling involves considerable level of risk, but however everybody cannot see gambling as something that is bad. I have heard many stories about gambling, though most of the stories were very discouraging, and some too were success stories which means even though many gamblers have faced frustration gambling, but there are few that cannot call gambling bad because they have benefited a lot from gambling.
Is understandable that many gamblers are on long loosing streak, and some too are on winning streak, and whoever calls gambling bad must be recording losses, and those gamblers who gain financial stability by gambling will never say gambling is bad.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with Gambling, there are people who are making money in gambling, and there are people who are also loosing money in gambling, it all depends on what categories that you fall into, people who are making money in gambling is going to have a different view about gambling, while people who aren’t making money in gambling is going to have a different perspective entirely.

The best way to gamble is to gamble with what you can afford to lose, when you gamble with what you can afford to lose that would be more better compared to when you loose a huge amount of money.

This is the main point. I’m convinced that a gambler who says gambling is bad is doing so because they’ve lost money and aren’t prepared to bear those losses. They often use money meant for living expenses, which makes the losses feel even more painful. Yet, as is always emphasized before deciding to gamble, you should set aside a budget beforehand, one derived from income you’ve set aside ,and once again, always keep your expectations in check, don’t get your hopes up too high for a win, because in gambling, everything depends on luck, so treat a win as nothing more than a bonus.

What's actually wrong is the approach people use to gamble, it has been advised a lot of times that gambling shouldn't be taken to seriously, don't expect gambling to be a side hustle or a source of income. If you do such then you are the one with the problem, gambling is not the problem, it you that is.
Just like driving a car, if you choose to drive recklessly and you get an accident, you are the cause.

Gambling does not cause anyone's problem, but the gambler is the problem. Whether a gambler will gamble responsibly or irresponsibly depends on his own decision. Gambling is not responsible for this. Gambling cannot always be positive for a person who considers gambling as a source of income because there are both gains and losses in gambling. If someone needs money at that time, if he gambles and loses, he is responsible for it.

If you do not follow any rules and regulations after getting into the car and drive recklessly, you will be the victim of an accident at any time. There is no exception in the case of gambling. If a gambler gambles excessively when he does not have the ability to gamble, then he will be affected by its negative effects. Gambling is not bad for gamblers who do not rely on gambling, but those who rely on gambling become addicted to gambling very quickly, which is not good at all.

If you calm down and look at gambling very well, you will understand that in gambling people that loses in gambling is higher than people that benefits from gambling, for me, most people who gambles doesn't considering the benefits alone, I think most times they consider the entertainment that's into gambling, because the losses in gambling is too much

it all depends on what categories that you fall into, people who are making money in gambling is going to have a different view about gambling, while people who aren’t making money in gambling is going to have a different perspective entirely.

If you're making money in gambling, that will encourage you to gamble more with the strategies you applied to make the profit, but if you are not making profit from gambling, it will make you to be feeling sad and it's one of the things that leads some gamblers into gambling addict, I want you to know that loses in gambling is what makes people to be addicted

Just to be clear Gambling is no BAD.
I go through topics and replies, some just talk of gambling like it's some type of awful activity and shouldn't be done by people.
But that's actually wrong. Gambling is not bad, I wouldn't say it's good as well, it's literally just an activity and it completely okay for someone to gamble as long as your above age 18.

What's actually wrong is the approach people use to gamble, it has been advised a lot of times that gambling shouldn't be taken to seriously, don't expect gambling to be a side hustle or a source of income. If you do such then you are the one with the problem, gambling is not the problem, it you that is.
Just like driving a car, if you choose to drive recklessly and you get an accident, you are the cause.

Gambling is definitely bad when someone becomes addicted to gambling. And even if you use gambling as entertainment, when you continue to gamble regularly, the dopamine hormone in your brain will increase and you will not be able to control yourself. If you lose, you will continue to gamble to make up for your losses, and if you win, you will continue to gamble to make more profits with joy. If you gamble regularly, you will never understand that things will gradually go beyond your control.

So I would say that gambling should never be taken lightly. You have to be careful and always be strict with your budget. Only when you can accept losses easily and stop gambling by being satisfied with small winnings can you protect yourself from becoming addicted.

Gambling is not bad for you as long as you keep gambling under control.

You have lost money by gambling irresponsibly, gambling is bad for you.
The other person continues to gamble responsibly, he enjoys entertainment from it, he is controlled so he does not face losses beyond his capacity, for him gambling is not bad but a place of entertainment.

And now, how you approach gambling, that will determine the results you will get from gambling, and how will gambling be for you, good or bad.
You gamble with the money you need, be greedy, play uncontrollably to achieve big wins, play to recover losses, all these will only destroy you in the end.
But you continue to play for entertainment in a controlled way, gambling will be entertainment for you.

The issue is that many users are writing in these areas and there is no control at all, so many are writing things that are not true or they are not being direct enough about it. Look some people who have said that gambling shouldn't be done by people are wrong, but you are also wrong to dismiss it because you are making the same statement. You are taking something and trying to apply it to everybody, when science has confirmed that both of these statements are false. The correct truth is that some percentage of humans has a vulnerability to all addictions. I checked with ChatGPT and it gives me an estimate of 5 to 10%, so this kind of person should never gamble in their life. The risk is too high for what they can get from it, if they want entertainment they should just go and do some other things instead.

Other people can gamble, but they need to be very careful. You think wrongly that if the effects of something are not that visible that its negative effects are small, but this is false. Gambling has deep negative effects in the long term, just like drinking or smoking does and they build up over time. And to make it worse since they primarily affect the brain and your mind, you will notice it even less and you will dismiss when someone points out what it does to you.

Just like driving a car, if you choose to drive recklessly and you get an accident, you are the cause.

It is nothing like driving a car.

One thing that I have seen is that, the way a person responds to a thing depends on the experience that such a person has heard olin the past. Most of the people demonizing gambling today didn't follow the rules and regulations that guides gambling that is why they fall victims to it. And it blaming gambling and discouraging people writing a whole nonsense about gambling.

People should know that gambling is not what they will use to making money in a big way, there is too much expectations and hope when it comes to gambling by some persons and when they don't get what they wanted by continuously gambling and wasting money. They resorts to saying that gambling is bad.

Gambling is like any other thing in the world, your approach towards it matters. When a gambler gambles without any stoping points and believes that he can use gambling to make good money then there will be problems going forward by such a person.

For sure , there is nothing wrong with gambling as long as it is done within our limits. It is mostly how we view gambling that is important. It is mostly those that see gambling as a source of income gets addicted to it easily, though it is still possible for those that see gambling as a means of entertainment to become addicted to gambling. The only wayfor a gambler not to be addicted to gambling is if they have self discipline to always gamble within there limits. Those that are gambling for entertainment will never chase after losses and will never feel disappointed or affected by losing.
