Today, there are battles in different countries about whether gambling should be allowed or criminalized. I think gambling is a vice and should be criminalized because the disadvantages outweigh any potential benefits. Gambling addicts are known to commit crimes to pay debts or have mood disorder which most time causes violence and strain in relationships. Gambling increases poverty as the poor are the most likely to gamble away what little money they have. The lure of big money has pushed many gamblers to steal. Some have even committed suicide causing indelible pains in the minds of others.
I will share some hilarious photos which depict that gambling is taking a toll on society.

You're looking at the negative side of gambling, gambling is bad for people who cannot moderate themselves and cannot handle it properly, casinos promote themselves as an entertainment portal and they are paying taxes and giving work to people, especially on physical casinos where they hire a lot of people for their service and they are creating businesses that revolve around the casinos.
The casinos always warn their players to play responsibly and some casinos restrict players who are abusing themselves by gambling too much on their platform, there are bad and good things that can happen to players, and it's their own doing and abuse that they become miserable.

If we consider both the beneficial and harmful aspects of gambling, then the two aspects can be discussed in detail, but the harmful aspect of gambling is more socially observed than the beneficial aspect. A gambler may be involved in various criminal activities socially and may lead to various financial crises. Besides creating financial havoc in a family, gambling is largely responsible for creating a bad relationship within the family members. A gambler may engage in theft, robbery and various drug-related activities within society. A gambler is responsible for bringing disaster to himself as well as spreading bad influence among the children of a family.

Just like other habits like smoking, drinking or even overeating, once a person is beyond the control of himself then I would already consider it a big vice. As to gambling, when a person is well-learned and is conscious of the possible consequences with anything he/she is doing then that person will not easily get addicted into something he is really aware of. Just like smoking, the government has to play its part and that is now we have very big warning in each pack of cigarette so as to discourage people to smoke and yet at the same time it is collecting big taxes from cigarette manufacturers...maybe I can consider this to be a win-win situation though of course users got the big possibility of bearing health problems later. Gambling is a big business and there are many people making money out of the industry...and now gambling is now available in apps easily reached even by minors and students - something that the government should look into. I can not think of a country where gambling is not allowed - maybe in closed countries like North Korea gambling business can be so limited but in n open countries gambling is making a killing. Now, am thinking how can I make some money out of gambling maybe I would be promoting one of those many gambling apps around.

Gambling is very difficult to eliminate even though gambling is wrong in the eyes of state law or customary law.
The basic concept of gambling is the many interests of everyone to be able to get a lot of money in an easy way.
Humans if given an easy job and make a lot of money, it will definitely be done even though the bet is health, safety and even life.
Gambling in my area is always there, even though the government has banned gambling, but I see that there are still gambling.
Especially now that with a smartphone alone can gamble across countries and I hear this story is from my husband who has a gambler friend.

I burst out laughing when I read about Rashford not scoring ;D
Gambling is considered as a vice (haram in Islam). Anyway, no matter what your religion is, it's generally not acceptable to gamble money that is not yours or money that are supposed to be used on paying basic expenses.
-
Do you think gambling is a vice and should be criminalized?
Yes it is really a kind of vice because there is a higher chance for us to get addicted. I don't think it should be criminalized because of the fact that we ourselves are aware that it pose risks to us. If we are not sure about it because of the possible risks I think there is no reason to pursue gambling. We already know the right and wrong so it is all our fault if something bad will happen to our money involving gambling.

It is, yet, the growth of casinos grows faster these days because it's millions of dollars industry, simple talk, it's business, and it's a huge tax contribution for the government, only a few countries banned gambling in their jurisdiction.
But regarding addiction, it is human nature to become greedy, and it's not just for gambling, there are lots of things people are lured because of that. While it's true that many poor got hooked on gambling, but gambling should not be blamed, people should always be responsible on their actions.

It's true as you said, gambling should not be done using other people's money because it will have a negative effect on the owner of the money.
If the profit might be returned to the owner of the money (that is, if the gambler still remembers the debt), what if the gambler loses?
Of course he had 2 losses, first, one was a loss in gambling and second, he had a debt to his friend who didn't know when he would be able to pay it.
PS:
-I don't want to prolong the religious issue of the altcoinstalks forum so that it can be more conducive. My story is also exactly like yours because the majority of my friends are Muslim but there are one, two or more who gamble.

The fact that the betting companies are making millions of dollars and also paying taxes to the government as you have noted is even the main reason the companies are growing on a daily and gaining influence. No matter the argument the companies and government are benefiting more.
On the part of the people, the majority of the people are the ones sustaining these companies because the more you lose the more the companies grow. The few who win millions occasionally give hope to others why gambling shouldn`t be seen as a vice and that is why even when people lose so much they still frown when there are rumors that betting companies will be banned in a country.
For instance, the rumour spreading that betting companies should be banned in Nigeria has generated both positive and negative opinions. It is these diverse contentions that make it even more difficult for the government to ban these companies. Let me add that, gambling per se is not a bad activity it is people who engage in it that give it meaning whether positive or negative.

Gambling is 100% a vice, but no it should not be criminalized. Drinking is a vice and it's legal, smoking is a vice and legal, some drugs are legal. Society is saying that just because something is bad for you, doesn't mean it should be illegal.
-
its not all up to us to decide whether playing on casino is criminal act. no authorities will say that but majority of the people will likely agree gambling is bad.
we kept playing though and its because we win some coins at some point. and casinos are providing jobs in the locals. lets say the Native Americans in Cali are the first to have benefited the casinos they've built. this also applies in the online scenario where crypto forum users are benefiting in the job opportunity.
so whether gambling is Vice or not. this is already part of the economic progress.
-
It is a thing of choice whether to gamble or not. Criminalizing gambling is like telling football lovers that football is illegal and watch the response of football lovers how it would look like. You would agree with me that casinos do pay tax, employ labors which they pay and that alone is a source of employment. Nobody is forced to gamble. Every gambler do that willing on their own as a result of what they derive or benefit from it.
Gambling is not a vice only irresponsible gamblers allow themselves to be seen as such that would warrant name calling.

You are not alone on the laughter because gambling is not something you would take for granted and by this I mean you should never risk what you can't afford to lose and the moment you keep this at bay in your thoughts you won't have any problem but the moment you start risking and doing crazy things be rest assured that you won't have peace because the habit will taunt and hunt you till you actually do something stupid.
I remember when one of my friend was so obsessed that he actually bought games from people deeming it to be sure and he was totally convince and even borrow funds from me and stake the game and the end the game resulted to a loss.

Sorry, I want to ask you, do you also like gambling?
The problem is that you give funds to your friends to gamble. Or maybe you don't know if your friend will use his loan funds to gamble?
I'm just guessing, if you gamble, you definitely know that your friend has borrowed funds to gamble and you should refuse. This is just my opinion.
After he lost, did your friend return the loan to you?
If he loses at gambling and the funds are not returned to you, it seems like your friend is an imprudent and irresponsible person.

A lot to unpack here. First of all, gambling is a broad term and could include a lot of things, e.g. is poker gambling? Are charity fundraising raffles gambling? Is it gambling when you happen to have and advantage over the house or a positive expected value bet opportunity?
But assuming we're only talking about the type of gambling when odds are always set in favour of the house and players are expected to lose long-term. Sure, we could ban such, but it's very likely to backfire badly. The idea that if you take the gambling away, all the degenerate gamblers will just magically turn into financially responsible citizens is naive. They'd be likely to replace gambling with something else.
Remember that the vast majority of people who engaged in gambling activities are not addicts who can't control themselves. The ones affected are usually people who have some sort of psychological issues, e.g. being addicted to a dopamine rush etc. If you take gambling away from them they'd jump onto some other unhealthy outlet.
There's also a wider issue with what we call a "nanny state" - a governing style that sees people as children who need to be told what they can and can't do. Generally speaking, it doesn't tend to create strong and responsible individuals. It also creates an impression that anything that's not prohibited by the state must, by definition, be good.
I'm not 100% against the idea of prohibiting certain things though. People are not perfect and there are IQ/temperamental differences between different populations. So if there's something that has a huge negative effect on certain population and it's evident that people are not able to cope with it themselves - than it's justify to ban such thing.

Let me give a strange scenario of what I think gambling is: gambling is like a river, while gamblers are like swimmers. If an individual doesn't know how to swim at all or perhaps only knows a little about how to swim, they must never go into the deepest part of the river; they should therefore stay just in the shallow part and let those that can swim very well go into the deepest part, and if a swimmer is drawing, she or he should therefore call for help.
Who ever allows gambling to have a negative effect on them is because they disobeyed their own decisions and decided to engage in addictive gambling, so let them bear the consequences or they should call for help.

Whatever the name of gambling, in whatever form it is carried out, it is certain that it will have a bad impact on those who do it. The illustration you have made above certainly gives an idea of how to avoid something. As long as it can be done, it must be done immediately and must not exceed your capabilities, even if you ask for help. It's not certain that there will be someone who can help sincerely if you are involved in gambling.If you have more money and it doesn't interfere with daily activities, then you can do it; other than that, it's not allowed.Entering gambling means being ready to get sick and need healing because healing takes time and is not easy.

Do you think gambling is a vice and should be criminalized?
Some countries of the world are directly in favor of gambling and some countries are directly against gambling. Gambling is totally prohibited especially in Muslim countries as it is forbidden in their religion. Gambling is not only forbidden in Muslim countries but there are some poor non-Muslim countries where gambling is generally considered illegal. People's thinking has changed a lot now, still there are many people who consider gambling as a criminal act. That is why gambling is considered as a criminal act by some people because many people destroy their money and wealth by gambling and many people do not fulfill their proper responsibilities towards the family that is why gambling is considered as a forbidden act in many places.

Gambling is closely related to money, and we all know that money is something very sensitive in life, even many people say money is the source of crime or other bad things, although we know that it depends on the person.
The example you gave illustrates the situation in gambling, and it is our responsibility to be able to realize our limits. For example, if we realize that we can't swim and then force ourselves to swim in a deep river, it's tantamount to suicide, and so is gambling.

I think people use those picture as memes. Although it happens in real life but only those who cannot control their emotions are the ones who falls victim do this. People say that you should gumball responsibly. What does it mean? Well if everyone knew what this mean then we won't see something like this included in those pictures. If you don't have the ability to figure out what is right and what is wrong and going to gamble and going to stop, then gambling is not for you.
Gambling is for entertainment purposes only. However many people are successful in gambling and they can earn from it too. For them it is a way of entertainment and also a way of making some money. But this is a huge but, gamble only when you can afford to lose.
If you gamble carelessly, or for money, it will become an addiction and people will do stupid things. To learn what gambling really is and what is the best approach in this. Then you will understand what gambling really is.

The main source is, of course, clear that what you say is true. Money is the source where, if there is no money, then there is no ability to do anything, including gambling. But it is clear that we cannot blame the existence of money, but actually the behavior of the person who uses the money for something that can be good or bad.
Indeed, it is all up to us whether we want to and can not be trapped into not doing it, because as long as the intention not to do it is greater than the desire to do it, it will definitely not happen.

The legalization of gambling will always cause pros and cons in society.
When a controversial issue arises in society, the final decision rests with the state, which has the authority to determine it.
In my country, gambling is prohibited, and the law explicitly declares any act of gambling as a crime.
Therefore, I will abide by the rule of law and refrain from presenting any arguments.

Every rule that will be made by the government will certainly have an impact on society. It may be approved or rejected, but it is true that in the end the one who determines the policy is the one who makes the rule, the government.
There are advantages and disadvantages to gambling that is prohibited and that is not prohibited. If it is prohibited, there will be people who engage in illegal gambling and that cannot be avoided. However, if approved, it will affect the poor who will be directly affected if they participate in gambling, but there are benefits for the government, who can receive fees from gambling.
But I agree with you that if there is a prohibition, it is wiser not to take action against the law, because again, the ones who lose are the ones who violate it.

Gambling is considered as a vice (haram in Islam). Anyway, no matter what your religion is, it's generally not acceptable to gamble money that is not yours or money that are supposed to be used on paying basic expenses.
The world is indeed a crazy place. How on earth does someone borrow money to gamble? It's so sad to see how people take heavy risks with funds that could have changed their lives if invested wisely. And why would someone even bet on Rashford, who has been totally poor this season?
Interestingly, even the crypto community doesn't advise crypto enthusiasts to borrow money to invest in cryptocurrency.

Yep, because the crypto enthusiasts consist of people who think according to logic :)
Some think gambling is part of the fun, making a few bets to get the thrill of feeling tense while waiting for the results to win or lose.
Of course, everyone is free to decide what's best for themselves as long as it doesn't harm others.
And I agree with you Investing money wisely is better than taking risks by gambling.

Nice analogy but even the best swimmer shouldn’t also go too deep. In gambling, no best gambler. If you claim to be a professional and fail to have a budget you will drown and drowning I mean financial ruin.

If he loses at gambling and the funds are not returned to you, it seems like your friend is an imprudent and irresponsible person.
I also think the same, when a person lends money to friends it is usually something delicate, because for example if I lend, I don't like to be on top of the person collecting money, I like that they pay me on time and without need to be reminding him, why? because one says that if he lends money to a friend it is to help him and because it is obvious that he knows that that friend will be responsible for the payments.
If the person does not start to see that they have to do something quickly to get paid, then that is already being quite careless, one is in charge of lending, and if the person wants to put it in the pot or wherever, then it is already problem of that person, what matters is that the person pays you your money on time, whatever the rules, that's why I say that lending money to a friend can mean the end of the friendship, so sometimes you get Restrict those things to preserve friendships.

Gambling is an addiction, so if they like gambling they will do anything to fulfill they ambition to be able to gamble, just like people who are addicted to drugs will look for it too.
So don't be surprised if there is nothing you can rely on, you will end up going into debt. Indeed, that is the character that is formed. Of course, it is very sad, as you say, but channeling must be done to be able to gamble.
I think it is a good thing that the crypto community does not advise crypto fans to take out loans, to invest in crypto.
But in fact, my view is the opposite. For me, borrowing to invest in crypto is a form of investment the same as buying shares/property etc., but with proper analysis, if you really want to place loan funds, especially in bitcoin and ethereum, the risk is small.

Gambling is a harmless activity but individuals give it a negative connotation because of the way they approach it. I think instead of making people believe that gambling is a vice, people should rather be sensitized. The bookies should help to regulate the amount people gamble and forget about their capitalist mentality.

It will become a vice for me if we get into it irresponsibly I mean if we don't treat it as an entertainment. When we become greedy that is where gambling is more of a vice than just for fun. But this all depends on how people or gamblers see and treat gambling. For me this is based on our personal preferences and also depends on how people will judge us as we all know they always have something to say even if it is non of their business.

As long as gambling is only for entertainment, of course, it will not have a detrimental effect, because entertainment means setting aside funds to have fun, not to make a profit. But if, as you say, it has led to making a profit, it has gone beyond its main intention and is no longer entertainment. But it is already looking for profit and if you lose, you will use other funds, which should not be used, but are used.
It has become an addiction like someone who is addicted to drugs and is difficult to cure, it will only do harm.
Everything is ultimately returned to the individual to reveal the gambling problem, because the only person who can experience and know is oneself.

This will be a good call for the Bookies to play a more active role in regulating how much people gamble. This can only be achievable if the Bookies shift away from a capitalist mentality (profit-making mindset) towards a more socially responsible stance. By encouraging Bookies to prioritize gamblers' mental health over profit-making, then certainly the negative consequences of gambling could be mitigated.

Gambling addiction is an addiction that can affect a person's thinking patterns and damage the life of the perpetrator and the surrounding community.

Gambling addiction is an addiction that can affect a person's thinking patterns and damage the life of the perpetrator and the surrounding community.

So gambling has more negative effects than positive ones
There is no difference between a gambling addiction and an addiction to drug use. In the end, it is both difficult to get out of the trap of continuing to do it again. It must be admitted that gambling operators already know people's characteristics, so they can influence the way the game is presented, so that people are always curious and want to continue playing it.
Gambling has crossed ages, both young and old will be the same, although currently they are more focused on young people who are easily influenced because their emotions are still unstable and don't forget the role of influencers and social media is very important in being able to ensnare them into gambling.
I agree, gambling only has a negative side. That's why gambling can only be done by those who are already established in life so that it doesn't interfere with their financial activities, because those who are established are usually looking for entertainment and to relieve work fatigue, not for profit, very different from other gamblers who are looking for luck. which will be difficult to get.

Today, there are battles in different countries about whether gambling should be allowed or criminalized. I think gambling is a vice and should be criminalized because the disadvantages outweigh any potential benefits. Gambling addicts are known to commit crimes to pay debts or have mood disorder which most time causes violence and strain in relationships. Gambling increases poverty as the poor are the most likely to gamble away what little money they have. The lure of big money has pushed many gamblers to steal. Some have even committed suicide causing indelible pains in the minds of others.
I will share some hilarious photos which depict that gambling is taking a toll on society.

gambling It's not bad if it's just for a moment's entertainment, but back to each individual, how do they perceive and prioritize gambling, because most gamblers will definitely commit criminal acts when they are addicted to gambling and don't have the funds, whatever they do to be able to gamble

gambling It's not bad if it's just for a moment's entertainment, but back to each individual,
If the concept is for Entertainment and Fun, everyone can also judge it well because everyone also needs entertainment, but gambling is entertainment that uses money and causes adrenaline to increase drastically.
From the presence of this adrenaline that results in us being able to do anything when we need gambling but we don't have the funds, and with all the efforts that gamblers do that can lead to negative things such as crime, etc.
how do they perceive and prioritize gambling, because most gamblers will definitely commit criminal acts when they are addicted to gambling and don't have the funds, whatever they do to be able to gamble
From here we can learn that gambling tends to be more negative, even though you say gambling is for entertainment and fun, the negative effects are quite large.
Except, for brands that gamble, they must have a concept of gratitude and limit funds because every day these gamblers gamble and must be limited, winnings must also be limited and gambling with losses must also be limited.
Maybe the conclusion is that gambling is enough for entertainment, but don't do it excessively and must be limited and don't forget to be grateful whether you win or lose.

To avoid the consequences of gambling, of course, everyone who wants to gamble for entertainment must have special funds that do not interfere with their daily needs or are already financially stable. But the unfortunate thing is that people who gamble can barely fulfill their needs and still do that, so what you say is true is that, in the end they will commit criminal acts to fulfill their needs due to their gambling addiction. And not infrequently that happened and even all the assets he had were eventually lost

Do you think gambling is a vice and should be criminalized?
Gambling, when approached as a leisure activity and handled responsibly, can be a form of entertainment that adds excitement to life. It's a social experience that, for many, is no different from enjoying a night out or a concert, with the added possibility of winning. It's all about balance and not letting it tip into excess.

As long as the aim is for entertainment, of course it will be understandable and tolerable. The problem is that if you can no longer differentiate between entertainment and needs, it is certainly very dangerous and full of risks that will occur. If gambling has become a necessity that must continue and the perpetrators themselves do not have the funds prepared for this need, then disaster will occur. All means will be used to fulfill these needs, so there must always be protection that must be taken before you want to gamble.
If you want to gamble, you have to prepare yourself financially so that it doesn't interfere with your daily activities.
