By my understanding gambling is fun and a source of entertainment, but there are other negativities attached to gambling,which are, financial issues among the families of a gambler an addiction towards gambling.
No matter the fun and the entertainment gambling bring to the society, for me the negative impact of gambling in the society is more than the positive impact it brings to the society.
Ways to mitigate the spread of gambling in the society:
*Managing your time - preventing problem gambling, is to manage your time very well and enjoy sport without gambling by taking a break. According to Canadian lower risk gambling guidelines recommendation, reduce your gambling to know more than four days a month can significantly reduce your risk.
*Managing your finance - preventing problem gambling is to manage your finance effectively and safeguarde it. Order procedures to manage your money: set limit, keep record, don't borrowing, and stay as planned. That's my opinion.

Alright mate, I agree with y ou saying that gambling today in our society has more negative impact that positive impact on lives, but one thing I want to add to it is gambling is a thing of choice, and pleasure also, there are some people who have fixed savings already, and instead of using there spare money for drinking, smoking and clubbing etc.. for their leisure time they use this money to gamble, knowing 100% that it is based on luck so they only gamble with money they know they can afford to loose at the moment, something they win and most times they loose, its all for the fun.
So I think gambling is by choice, and also everyone who likes gambling should gamble wisely...

I think the OP makes it too complicated, apart from the fact that I don't quite understand what 'spread' means in this context. Most of us responsible gamblers, gamble from time to time, with money we can afford and have no problem with it. I would even say that every type of responsible gambler has had some session or some day where they got out of hand and ended up losing more than they expected but that then didn't affect their life and they continued to gamble only once in a while with money they can afford to play with.

I agree that managing your time and money are two of the most important things to remember when you're playing you have to monitor the money you're allocating and the time you're giving in gambling because addiction to gambling starts when you are adding minutes or dollars you spend on gambling.
Addiction is a slow process you will not even realize that you are now addicted to gambling because the amount of time and money you spend in gambling is ignorable until you realize that you have added a lot of time and money that you find it hard to get out.

I believe the key lies in finding a balance between the enjoyment gambling can offer and recognizing its potential downsides.
It's about making informed decisions, where careful management of your time and finances plays a crucial role. At the same time, recognition of gambling as a choice and a form of entertainment for those who can afford it without harmful consequences is vital. Blending responsibility with the freedom to enjoy it as a leisure activity.
This balance between caution and enjoyment is key.

I'm just confuse with your title though.
I don't think there will be ways to mitigate your gambling activity, it means you either win or lose.
But if you have the feeling of losing, and it could affect you mentally that just quit simply as that. As gamblers, there is no way that you will manage your finance. You will always fell for gambling no matter what, in my opinion.

Obviously, when you weigh both the positives and negatives of gambling, the negatives outweigh the positives. This accounts for the rise of gambling related problems in the society. I remember sociting to a betting shop manager on behalf of a gambler who spent all his funds in virtual sports betting and was left with nothing including transportation. When he approached me for financial favour I couldn't help out so I went straight to the betting shop manager to solicit that he should give the guy money for transportation and his phone pending when he returns the money.
Frankly speaking, managing time and finances as you mentioned will go a long way in mitigating some of the common gambling problems faced by gamblers. When a limited time is spent on a gambling session, the loss will be minimal compared to when a gambler spends so much time. Also, our finances should be such that we don't utilize more than necessary for gambling.

how to manage time and money there are important points in life, if we take the wrong steps and choose decisions everything will fall apart, especially if all our time and money is spent on the gambling table, it's really a shame, right, the context in which we started gambling was just to have fun Not for money seekers, if everything is under control, there's nothing wrong with us still being able to gamble

Agree, time and money management is an important factor in life, we can't just leave it as it is because it might make everything fall apart. If it's messy, then it will make it difficult for us to fix it again.
Now if it involves gambling, then we have to have more money to allocate it for gambling and here is where the problem will arise when we can't manage our time very well, yes we might get caught in financial problems.

Yeah, it's either OP posting something he doesn't understand or he's confused what he really wants to say. Either way, he's spouting nonsense and this post reminds me why he was on my ignore list.
Managing time or finances limits possible losses but that still doesn't mitigate the spread of gambling.

The choice of words is a dead giveaway that OP is not a gambler.
Every single gambler would have thought of point spread or at least handicap and not about the spreading of gambling as the growth of the industry!
Anyhow, it's just a bunch of phrases with no substance, there is nothing even to start a discussion from.

It is good as a gambler, that you have a weekly or monthly budget for your gambling g activities, which can be 5% of your income. And also set a time limit for your gambling activities so that when the time elapses, you stop gambling no matter the outcome of the game. This will enable you to reduce your losses and gamble responsible. See gambling as a means of entertainment and not for profit, so that you don't have to face the consequences of gambling.

I believe that you are trying to suggest ways to prevent gambling addiction, but your choice of words and use of sentences in expressing yourself has made your point more difficult to understand @OP.
Managing your time and managing your resources is a part of the discipline required to prevent addiction, but it is not all. There are also some required other little things like avoiding people who are neck deep into gambling and do not see addiction as a problem. If you keep interacting with people who do not see addiction as a problem, you will in no time start thinking like them and not see addiction as a problem and something to avoid.

In fact, gambling should always be for entertainment and never as a means of making money. Those who have adopted this gambling as a means of earning money have suffered severely. Gambling is not acceptable in my society, not only in my society but also in my country, this gambling is not legal. Gambling in my country produces more ethical results than positive results. However, if gambling is used purely for entertainment while keeping oneself under control, it will not have much of a moral impact. However, being an online gambling system, it does not create much of a stir among people. In my opinion a fixed budget of income is best used for gambling and should never be used for gambling outside of a fixed budget of income.

Sometimes, the gambling talk gets tangled up in jargon like ‘spread,’ and it can feel a bit much. But at the core, I agree with your point.
It’s all about playing within our means, isn’t it? Most of us are here for the thrill, the fun, and the chance to win, but always with that golden rule in mind, only bet what you can afford to lose.
