Do you think that gambling has become more difficult than before!

[red4slash]

Even though we can turn back the time as long as gambling is still there the results will remain the same where the increase in the ratio of gambling will always occur every year because it is necessary to realize that the difference between then and now it is just technology.

With the development of increasingly modern then everything will be easier as well as gambling, in the past maybe we will not be able to do gambling anywhere because there must be regulations that still regulate so that when we want to gamble then we have to go to certain places intended for gambling so that many people will still be protected and not exposed to gambling especially for those who are quite far from the place of gambling. But for now the situation is different, The Times have become more sophisticated with the increase in existing technology so that for now gambling will be increasingly better known and with human nature that generally tends to be more lazy but always wants instant things then gambling will always be glimpsed.
If you turn back time until you get bored even the situation remains the same unless the gambling is not there then maybe the outcome is different.

Of course I am having this mixed feeling that the reason why most people are falling into addiction is because of the lack of employment opportunities and couples with the inflation rate which they are trying to meet up with their and standard ways of life and living.

Those can be reasons but are not the only reasons because addiction these days is higher because gambling is easier to do, as you could do it from the comfort of your home without needing to step out into the public eye. The ease of gambling these days has aided addiction and gambling has been well marketed. This is why you notice that more persons are gambling these days and more people are vulnerable to addiction than before, but this is a normal expectation as the industry grows and orientation does not follow in such a manner because if the industry grows and there is proper oreintation to keep things in equilibrium, the level of addiction can be controlled because more persons will be aware of what they are getting into.

[As-Soon-As]

People now choose gambling not for entertainment and fun but as a means of earning money. People now register in most online casinos only for the sole purpose of earning money and face losses while gambling. Currently, due to inflation, people are struggling to meet the needs of their families, due to which they are entering gambling as an easy way to earn something. But basically, the purpose they enter is completely opposite, where they are facing losses rather than earning money. However, gambling addiction is those who cannot control themselves.

Where new and old gamblers are now busy earning money due to lack of money, because under family pressure they are entering gambling in any way to earn money, they are accumulating wealth here even knowing the loss. Most gamblers have the aim of earning money now, so they easily get attracted to gambling. But after a while those gamblers can no longer control themselves, because they are not very experienced in gambling techniques. In the past, people used to gamble to enjoy themselves, but this effect of enjoying pleasure is no longer observed in new gamblers.
Due to which now more signs of addiction are being revealed in new gamblers than in the past, and they are running away from their homes after a while, getting into debt. Therefore, it is most important to follow the strategy of every gambler playing gambling, then they can be able to come out of the symptoms of addiction.

Nowadays we have seen gambling to be the next place of getting quick financial relief or as a source of additional income where people do not longer care about the entertainment purposes anymore. In facts it is now like people are that becoming impatient with gambling and they do not see the benefits of gambling instead they are now channeling their focused on what amounts they could be making through gambling which is making them to lose concentration.

Comparing gambling nowadays and to the old days times you would see that people barely cry about addiction but are fully enjoying the entertainment purposes where things were very less common and inflation becoming also lesser than today, but since inflation has also increased people around are sourcing for alternative to make sure that they meet to their daily and family needs which is making them or to enjoy the real entertainment that gambling carries.

Do you think that, if the hand of time are to be turned back thing would be normal and gambling addiction wouldn’t had been this common? Of course I am having this mixed feeling that the reason why most people are falling into addiction is because of the lack of employment opportunities and couples with the inflation rate which they are trying to meet up with their and standard ways of life and living.

Gamblers always have different paths, there are addicted and some are not. And mind you that gambling addiction is not the result of inflation and being unemployed, it all depends on the person. The only difference right now is the accessibility of online casinos compared to the old times. Becuse of technology, online casinos have become available anytime and anywhere.

And yes, financial struggles can indeed push some people to gamble and try to use it as a source of income. But it is not a limited situation only to those people with struggles when it comes to money. Even those people who are financially stable, gambling addiction can still happen. Gambling addiction is not determined by the financial status of a person, it always depends on the behavior of every individual.

Of course I am having this mixed feeling that the reason why most people are falling into addiction is because of the lack of employment opportunities and couples with the inflation rate which they are trying to meet up with their and standard ways of life and living.

Well, the rate of unemployment is strictly geographically dependent. It isn't all countries you'll see this, there are so many places out there with tons of job opportunities looking for workers. When it comes to inflation though, I think it is something that is actually affecting the world, I know it skyrocketed during and post-COVID time although, currently not as high as before but it is not as low as the  pre-COVID era.

Turning to gambling as an additional source of income it's just plainly stupid, it is like adding fuel to fire. Gambling is an activity that drains money, going into it because you're broke makes no sense whatsoever, what money do you intend to use?

I think one of the reasons that'll make gambling seem more popular and addictive nowadays is because of the ease of access and the varieties it provides; not because people are looking for another source of income.

poor people have always been desperate to become rich through gambling and they have always been more addicted than the rich.

Not necessarily true. In fact, I think it's the opposite. In as much as the poor wish they could get rich through gambling, they don't have the resources to gamble often; the rich on the other hand, have the luxury to gamble to their heart content. So I don't think your point is the case in reality.

One of the biggest places where gambling addiction is increasing is among young people. Because teenagers are currently becoming more addicted to gambling. I can't say much about how other people are getting addicted. But I can tell you about how I and some of my friends got involved in gambling. The biggest reason behind all of us gambling was pleasure. I used to see everyone gambling, thinking that we would gamble once and see. But that first time we get a big win and for this win we start playing again the next day and in this way we all get involved in it. However, gambling is never the right decision for fun, there are many ways to have fun other than gambling.

I also did not find the title and content to match.
The title says that has gambling become more difficult than before? If you think about it financially, then gambling may be more difficult than before. Because people's expenses have increased due to inflation, so they do not have enough money to gamble.

But if you think about it from another perspective, it is seen that gambling has become much easier than before, because people can now easily gamble online from home. But in the past, this opportunity was not there, personally, I myself became interested in it from online gambling.

Now why would you choose gambling to meet your daily needs? Gambling cannot be a source of income. I am also a gambler, so I have lost more than I have won by gambling. There is no gambler who can consistently make a profit. So you should find other ways as an alternative source of income.

If only i could go back in time, i would go to the time when i was starting to gamble and will said to myself that this is not good so that right here and there i could stop what i have started so that now i will not be a gambler .
Kidding aside, i think the evolution of technology and the emergence of the internet has played a big role on why you can say that there are too many individuals are addicted to gambling. You are right people are gambling not because of fun but for the money, hoping that after the gambling session they have profit to bring to their families which for me is a wrong thinking but that is what is happening.

With today's technologies where you can gambling online in the comfort of your home and bet whatever amount you want, this is what killing the citizens at least here in our place. Long time ago only the rich could go to the casinos but now the casinos are coming to us that is why many people are hooked into it because of convenience and not knowing the consequences that online gambling has brought to them.

In my opinion, there is no direct link between gambling addiction and a lack of job opportunities. Fundamentally, one can earn an income through various types of work, whether it requires physical, or using brain. Therefore, I do not believe a lack of job opportunities can be blamed for someone's gambling addiction. Those facing economic struggles, or who are not yet capable of handling the risks involved; should not attempt to gamble beyond their limits. Thus, it is crucial to make wise decisions, especially when facing choices that carry significant risk.

It is akin to; a tiny bird trying to fly before it is actually capable of doing so.

Technically, this is correct since people should avoid unnecessary spending if they don’t generate income. That’s the basic survival instinct of human.

However, people think irrationally due to the influence of social and exaggerated marketing that promises huge win or “bonuses that makes them cling to gambling because of the false hope that it might help them solve their financial struggles.

"getting quick financial relief " is that code for losing money? 99% of people who do any form of gambling are not making money from it as a source of income, in fact the only people who are almost guaranteed to be making money are the casino owners themselves. The odds don't change over time and in fact increased competition in the market has probably been beneficial for players - they might get 98% RTP now instead of 97%. Casinos have likely tightened up and better regulate accounts on things like poker and sports betting, because they want to encourage the worst players (aka most profitable) to stay rather than reward the most skilled players who they have to pay out on.

[Bryan jessy]

Nothing has changed about gambling rather the process and system got advanced now, and gamblers attitude has not really changed nor different from how it was before, just that then nobody was so drawn or concerned about gambling or noticed gamblers but the advance in technology made gambling known globally and now some persons gamble openly unlike before it was done secretly and lot of persons know nothing about it and before now gambling addiction already existed, so there is really no significant changes if you ask me, though before gamblers where not as much as they are now but today there are more numbers of gamblers compare to early days and that is due to exposure to gambling as it flies are everywhere in the Internet with most of them offering some cool attractive welcome bonuses.

[viljy]

Compared to the past, the absolute number of gamblers has increased in the world. Indeed, this is partly caused by the growing problems in the global economy (collectively), unemployment, and lack of prospects (non-functioning social elevators). And of course, the availability of online gambling.

But if we evaluate, so to speak, the society of gamblers, then the proportion of addicts in it remains the same as it was. Because a predisposition to addiction is a feature of a person's character, and it cannot easily change. But to an outside observer, it seems that there are more addicts - this is because the number of gamblers is much higher.

To answer the first question, if gambling has become difficult than before?
Their is no time gambling was that easy, it's just that gamblers have more platforms they make their feelings known than before that their was no social media to air their feelings.

Was their anytime their was no gambling addiction? Because am surprised that you think that addiction is now rampant than before, but that's not true, it's just because of the availability of social media, things goes out easily through the social media than in the past that things are happening but little or no body will know about it because of lack of social media.

The environment in which gambling is taking place has certainly changed, but not the gambling itself. The main emphasis today is on accessibility. The days of wagering are gone when a player had to travel to the casino and wait for hours only to place a bet.These days anyone can place a bet in seconds with the help of smartphones. Fast internet and online casinos. There is also a lot of advertising, welcome bonuses. And/or promotions to get more people to pursue gambling. This has made gambling more prominent and accessible. And has made it even easier for individuals to become addicted to gambling. Responsible gambling and self control are even more critical these days than ever before.

Of course I am having this mixed feeling that the reason why most people are falling into addiction is because of the lack of employment opportunities and couples with the inflation rate which they are trying to meet up with their and standard ways of life and living.

No doubt, this above mentioned could also be a part of what has contributed immensely to the high rate of addiction we are experiencing in recent time. But personally, I don't agree on this 100%.  Because you can say some humans and not everyone are greedy. However, sometimes it pains me when I see someone that's pretty doing well but just because they still want more they will probably start gambling thinking it's the most easiest way of making it. That is the more reasons it's important we always define our main purpose of gambling and let it be for what it was meant for which is entertainment purposes. And again, staying disciplined, less expectations and a perfect Bankroll management. I believe if players can be able to maintain these, it will help in resolving the current rate of high addiction case's we're having today. We just need to help ourselves because humans are just so greedy.

Sometimes we need to understand that nobody is above gambling addiction, because I am pretty sure that most of the gambling addicts right now were once financially stable. But due to lack of discipline and self-control, it made them become addicted to gambling.

So I think we just need to know that gambling is not a source of income, because many people still want to get rich overnight through gambling. That's why we are going through a lot in gambling. Nothing more than that at all.

[Somegory]

OP lack of unemployment should not be an excuse as to why anyone should be gambling, and to the extent that they get addicted? That's on them not unemployment, to fix this problem the solution is job.

If you can't secure a job start working on a self skill, that will make people want your services, today we have too many things that can make you money, AI is the newest trend right now.

This has become way easier than before, there are many AI platforms that are seeking for workers to pay every hour, you have no excuse, the only way to not get left behind is to always follow the trend.

[Tungbulu]

If I'm being honest,I do not see any changes in gambling,right from time it's always hard to hit the jack pot and nothing has really changed till now ,the only changes I see is the rate of online gambling,before people mostly go to casino physical shop , because online gambling wasn't this rampered, but now in the comfort of your home you can bet at anytime,so I do not think or see gambling become more difficult than before ,it's just the same way .

True. Although change is constant in everything, but that doesn’t mean that this change has affected every area of  gambling, especially in the winning or success rate. Gambling is still pretty much the same with when I started gambling. Although back then there weren’t actually so many markets/options to choose from in sports betting, they weren’t few back then but it wasn’t as much as it is today, it was easier to make a choice since there were way more fewer choices to make, right now, the variety of markets kinda makes it difficult to choose from the varieties.

Gamblers attitudes are still the same in their different categories, it has always been so, people are looking for get rich quick schemes where they can make fast money while others are looking for a place to unwind by thrilling themselves to get some dopamine rush, I think that has always been the two broad categories of gamblers. What changed is that the process of accessing gambling became easier which made more people to become aware of it, they will gamble from anywhere that they are, the convenience is the driving force of a lot of new gamblers. I would say that gambling have become more easier now than before because of easy accessibility and it has also brought about increased addiction, more people are getting greedy to hit the jackpot and become overnight millionaires. Gamblers characters remain the same the only thing have changed is that they just increased.
