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

[GIF-JOBS]

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.

Maybe this is somewhat related to inflation but for me it is exactly the fact that through gambling a lot of money can be made that most people are flowing into it, no one ever cared about the entertainment in gambling even in old times and nowadays the same, people gamble for profit and not for entertainment or fun simply most people do not have time for these things. Most people who gamble wanna see results materialized or translated in real money, what they call benefits of gambling.

This is the real reality, no one accepts gambling as entertainment, rather everyone accepts gambling only as a means of earning money. Everyone expects to profit from gambling, the only difference is that some gamblers may have observed their limitations properly even though they gamble for profit, but this is not the case with most gamblers, they gamble only with the expectation of making profit and cannot observe their limitations properly. Due to greed, emotion, taking excessive risks and trying to cover losses, gambling ultimately becomes a matter for them, which is the main reason for their destruction.
I think that even if you gamble for profit, you should observe your limitations properly, as long as the situation does not get out of control, there will be no problem.

Times have changed and it's not the way it was before again when people were gambling for fun and entertainment, this time around people are fully into gambling to make profit because of the hardship in the economy and since it's a stress-free means of making money once you can select your games rightly with a good number of odds and luck being by your side you will surely win some tangible amount of money.

If the hands of time is turned back and things became juicy just like the days of old things will be normalize too so people are getting addicted because of the challenges they face in the economy and they must look for means to source for funds to be able to pay their bills and gambling is just one easy path to it, but too much of everything is bad and greed has made many become addicted as they don't have a budget and keep to their bankroll management.

We see more and more casinos are being opened and number of gamblers only grows. Casinos became more accessible. People also start to care more about gambling addiction. It has became easier to spot that you became addicted (people recognize symptoms and try to do something about it, not just "he became crazy I dont know what is wrong with him), there places that try to cure addiction, much more people try to prevent its development. For me this means gambling became easier, more popular, improved.

idk. I was still young back then and doesn't really realize how things were for adults. But growing up, I am surrounded by my relatives who are into gambling, mostly horse racing. These relatives who used to bet on horse racing  when I was a kid, they are still betting up to this day. Would I say they're addicted? Probably yes. But not severe to the point that it causes them to break their family relationship or their own health.

But generally speaking, I think it's still the same. We didn't just hear nor see enough stories of people destroying their lives because of gambling. One factor is the use of social media. Back in the days, there's no way to spread other people's story aside from tv or radio. So we barely get to hear other people's suffering from gambling addiction. Unlike now, where almost everything are being shared online. Also, technology is so advance today and it's being used to create more casinos. More casinos = more people being tempted to gamble.

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?

You know that's not possible; the world is moving forward, and some things are improving, and some are getting worse, and gambling addiction has just gotten worse as we move forward because of easy access because of the internet.

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.

Another reason is the false marketing of influencers that you can change your life through gambling; false marketing, ease of access, lack of opportunities, and, biggest, what's inherent in us, and that is taking risks for big rewards; these contributed to the worsening drug addictions.

There are many ways to earn money now. In the country where I live, many students earn more than their parents by working as couriers. And I often see that not young guys work as couriers, an old man brought food to me a couple of times, and of course I left him a tip. Therefore, the withdrawal of gambling players due to the fact that "money is needed" is just an excuse. There are many different ways to earn money, and everyone chooses the ones they like. And I'll never believe that there are people who can't find any ways to make money other than gambling.

Since there are so many people making money from gambling, the gambling market is booming which is why you see different online casinos, gambling isn’t something we can consider as a terrible thing to participate in, but it can only become a challenge when you're addicted to gambling, if the person haven’t gambled he might go crazy, it’s very important for us to know when to take a break, probably when we’re mostly having a loss, it’s good to strategize and go again, I didn’t know there are places that can cure gambling addiction, gambling is better when we have a self control over gambling addiction.

However I don’t know if gambling have been difficult for people, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose, that is how gambling actually works.

What? No, this is the worst path to take. Gambling is never, ever going to become a source of income to sustain your necessities. I don't know why there are still people who think gambling solves poverty.
People who fall into addiction are not only exclusive to those who are lacking the opportunity to create a good income stream, but everyone can fall victim to it, regardless of financial status.

Anyway, gambling has not become more difficult today, in fact, it has become even easier and more accessible than before.

I think we live in a time when people have access to more information than ever before, and that helps them be more cautious and less likely to fall for the illusion of easy money. Of course, there will always be people who struggle with self-control and end up facing financial difficulties. However, I don't think that happened simply because they came across an online gambling website. I also believe that, over time, AI assistants will become a standard feature in online casinos. They could act as guides, helping users make informed decisions and warning them about behaviors that might lead to problems later on. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if having such an AI assistant eventually became a mandatory requirement for online gambling platforms.

You may be getting that impression simply because more people are betting now than before
More people have access to betting, and we’re seeing more advertisements and betting companies than in the past
Add that to the fact that casinos offer a mobile option, everyone has a cell phone, and there you go, lots of people are betting and maybe this is the reason you are having this perception

Here, I still bet and gamble for entertainment, just to have fun

By going primarily on the subject of the thread, I beg to differ.

Gambling has become increasingly convenient especially in the advent of technology. You can easily access any kind of gambling website (as long as you are of legal age) on your mobile phones; or you can even visit physical casinos that only require a valid ID upon entrance.

In essence, the widespread acceptance of gambling and its historical stigma have developed both a harmonizing relationship. Now, we actually consider it as the norm rather than the exception. Lastly, if you would also consider its accessibility, you can easily find a casino that will suit your taste on one easy search on the internet.

As far as I know, there have been gambling addicts all the time, it's just that we get to know about them sooner these days thanks to our smartphones.
Gambling is designed in such a way that every other person will think about making money from gambling.
So I think it's been the same all the time and it's the same even now.

I agree with you. Game of random numbers and probability will also remain the same from generation to generation because luck is around the corner. I haven't seen much people hit the jackpot in the past and it's still the same now. Addiction is part of gambling because some people will always do things excessively and that's their punishment.

[kizilhare]

Gambling is easier now than it used to be; you can even gamble by simply installing an app on your phone. However, winning is harder than in the past.
This is because there are so many gamblers and a multitude of gambling sites. Since there are people playing all kinds of games, casinos don't pay out as much money as they once did.

[Dunamisx]

There is nothing difficult about gambling because no one is being forced to play a particular game except by our choice, and there is no reason for addiction in gambling because every filmsy excuses will not be tolerated to where addiction is set in place, it is straightforward for us to be well disciplined in anything we are doing, to enjoy the benefits thereof, any Gambler that fails to plan on how to go about gambling may end up being addicted especially if not being well mannered with his emotions.

I didn't know the situation back then, at least before I gambled, I had already seen people who were addicted to gambling and were known by society to be somewhat ostracized. Actually, in social interactions, they didn't really have problems. But it seemed like people would limit themselves from getting too close because they knew that if they lent money to an addict, they could end up losing their money too. Nowadays, gambling is much easier to access, unlike before when people might still have had difficulties placing bets due to distance or government regulations.

I think that even if you gamble for profit, you should observe your limitations properly, as long as the situation does not get out of control, there will be no problem.

Everyone's mentality is often like this in gambling, a few people see gambling as a place of entertainment and fun. However, you are right, the reality is completely different where people enter gambling with the aim of making money and they come here and face losses. There are some people who continue their gambling just in the hope of profit and face losses, but they do not stop, but start gambling out of control and gradually they get stuck in it. When people get stuck in gambling, they move towards that addiction, so their situation becomes worse. If gambling is only for profit and earning, then you must control yourself first, and you must play with a special sense of discipline in gambling. Those who can stop gambling can control themselves when they lose and even if they face losses, they do not have much effect on their mentality. However, the problem arises when you get out of control and cannot stop gambling, but anyway, gambling is only made for entertainment and fun, but people now take it completely the opposite way.

Gambling has lost it entertainment purpose for long time again and everyone now is interested to make profit and not for fun. But the fun comes when you have a streaks wins. Even at that, those who sew gambling as a get quick money platforms are not real gamblers but passerby or money seekers gamblers who are interested only to make money than seeing it as a game. But at time goes on, their IQ brain will calm down and they will think we'll to know that gambling is not all about looking for money because if they pursue money they loss more. Sometimes you just like to visit and have funs.

[Leahized]

We cannot dictate everyone's gambling behavior, the change from entertainment to a place of profit is a common pattern where there is money to be made so gradually entertainment advice becomes a field source that can be utilized. Nothing has changed with gambling, but the gambler himself has changed it, instead of thinking that turning back time is very unreasonable, the main thing is that the person must bear all the consequences for his decisions in gambling.

A person's first goal is to prosper financially. Nowadays gambling has become very easy thanks to more online casinos. And those who turn to gambling are generally low income individuals. But nowadays very few people can be found who gamble only to pass time and relieve boredom. Reasons for taking gambling as an alternative to earning money are inflation or rising unemployment rates. The number of gamblers is increasing day by day for these reasons in my country.

That's right, you have to carry yourself to make any gambling decision. As far as I can tell gambling is much easier present than it was in the past. But considering the past, most gamblers now face losses. Ultimately a gambler should make a decision based on his own situation. Which does not create any pressure on the family.

[Mr_Brilliant$]

Not everyone do take and see gambling as a place to get extra income or as a source of income, if some persons do see it that way, it doesn’t mean everybody does..
And also you mentioned benefits of gambling, does gambing really have benefits? Probably just the trill and emotional roller coaster that comes with it, outside that i don’t think there’re other, I maybe wrong though..
And in the old time there were not much addiction persons, because gambling and casinos wasn’t as common as it is today, if it was there would likely still be way more addicted gambler just like we have today..

[Crakryptvest]

It is obvious that the reason for more addiction to gambing as it is been experienced in the recent times is individual quest for quick money, but that's a high level of misconception, although things would've been a bit better than now if we are to go back to the old days.
I think people were contented with what they have then and things were better which you stated, since we can not go back there, what's the way forward?
There are much excuses these days in regards to why some people are addicted to gambling, and what do we have to say about those that was financially alright that are addicted, I agree that most of the things you listed might be the course of the rise in ambling addiction, however, greed and some other factors can also be the reason why gambling is taken to another level by some people in this era.
