Gambling is a curse to society

[Igebotz]

I believe that a thing that doesn't hurt others, should be allowed, that is the liberal approach, liberty, as you know, means somewhere around freedom, so if you are going to lose all your money to gambling, you should have the right to do so, its your money, you can do whatever you want with it. Making it illegal, or doing something that would prevent people from gambling, is not really sounding like freedom, does it? You may limit it if you want, that's a way, but making it completely illegal?

I support your view but to add to it, legislating on gambling will mean committing injustice to others who find happiness in it. The best approach is to help individuals who are struggling with gambling addiction rather than ban it. I will ask, is it proper to ban alcohol because someone easily gets drunk when he consumes alcohol? This can be likened to gambling, hence, it would be an injustice to prohibit gambling because few persons exhibit negative attitudes due to gambling.

Some countries are very radical with their way of seeing casino games and sports betting, according to Arab countries it can cause something against what their religion means and go against normal things for them, in other countries like mine It is a business model, it was closed for more than 20 years and then they closed it because they offered the government a good cut and now the casino and sports betting are legal, but despite being a third world country, it is it moves a lot of money, so they are things that sometimes cannot be understood, in general I will always consider the best things that can be done in order to have a better form of entertainment, because no government or country should oppose Our priority will always be to be happy, and a government cannot deny that.

Regarding these things, we have to find a way to not stay there and not continue limiting ourselves by not having fun.

Well, what you have said is just your opinion regarding gambling, and it seems you are only dropping this opinion probably because of what you have experienced from most people who are gamblers in your area of residence. But one question I would love to ask you is: have you ever seen every gambling in the world? If you have not, then how can you tell that every gambler has the same gambling lifestyle, or how can you conclude that gambling is a curse?

To cut short my many explanations, I would love to say that gambling is for fun and can also serve as a social entertainment means. What happens to some gamblers is that they take the wrong approach to gambling, and due to how they handle gambling, they become addicted, compulsive, lose their minds to it, and endanger the lives of others with their reckless behaviors. Gambling is not to blame but rather the individual who allows themselves to be ruled by gambling.

Too much love and curiosity for money have also made some people do many illegal activities in society today. Do we then say money is also a curse in society because of how people are doing unlawful things just to get money?

Gambling is a social crime and illegal in most countries. Gambling has a huge impact on the society of every country. Gambling creates enmity and hatred towards each other in the society.

I do not know the background you are coming from but over here we don't share this same view because gambling is not seen from the negative perspective neither are gamblers seen as failures. Most times some famous gamblers even trend on Twitter (X) especially when they drop games that thousands of persons win with.

When I see people make all manner of negative comment about gambling, I begin to wonder if it is the gambling I know or something else. I even see people associate suicide to gambling, this is strange to me because life is already hard here and a lot of people have overcame depression through the hash policies of our government. So gambling is the least thing that can make people depressed.

Gambling is all about planning, if you plan your finances well, you don't have any business getting depressed as a result of losses in gambling because you will already know you have to only gamble with what you can afford to lose.

Gambling is a social curse but there was gambling in the earliest civilizations of the world and there is gambling today and there will be gambling in the future. Gambling will never be eradicated from the society because in modern civilization, various countries of the world have placed gambling in the progress of civilization and some countries have officially accepted gambling and they have prioritized gambling as a source of pleasure. Therefore, as much as we consider gambling as bad, the big developed countries of the world do not consider gambling as bad and a curse. So no matter how much we label gambling as a negative, gambling will remain an important place in the world.

Gambling is played by many people in many ways, some participate in gambling for fun and others become addicted to it. I think gambling is fun because by gambling people can improve in terms of income and over addiction people face losses. As it is online gambling there will be no partiality of enmity, but in reality gambling is a crime yet people get addicted to gambling. A lot of crime in gambling society because it corrupts the society. And not being addicted to gambling is the best.

As I gamble but I never gamble in public in secret.

Of course a gambler is a great curse to the society where a gambler resides a family has to face many kinds of problems. When you become a gambling addict, you are a criminal in the eyes of society. A gambler can never do anything good for a family rather he does many types of crimes to destroy a family. But there are many individuals who gamble but don't become addicted they gamble responsibly but people don't know they are only experienced players.

A gambler is not only a burden to the family but the curse of the gambling society because various crimes will be organized by the gambler in the society. A gambler in particular is socially stigmatized simply because of various crimes because a gambler would not think twice about stealing, robbing, or even murdering people to collect gambling money. A gambler does not hesitate to steal his wife's jewelery or even the family's accumulated money to manage his gambling money. So a gambler can never be a good part of the society rather he is socially recognized as a cursed or social problem.

Gambling is a social crime and illegal in most countries. Gambling has a huge impact on the society of every country. Gambling creates enmity and hatred towards each other in the society. Through this, enmity may arise between the people you know. It is seen that there are many people who earn hard money all month long and only because of their gambling addiction spend money on gambling and lose their hard earned money. If a person loses through gambling, he gambles again so that he can get the money back next time.  But this took a toll on his brain and he began to suffer from restlessness. Thus he cannot live a healthy normal life. So we all should refrain from gambling and spread awareness in the society about the horrors of this gambling. This is one of the main reasons for the downfall of man. Moreover, gambling is completely prohibited according to all religious laws.

Gambling is currently legal in most countries, but gambling is still illegal in some countries. Gambling is a social crime but not a social crime for all countries where it is legal. Gambling should be used purely as entertainment. Gambling should never be used outside of entertainment. Whenever a person uses gambling outside of entertainment to earn money, that person will become addicted to gambling and will become hated by everyone, family and even religion. Always set a fixed income budget for gambling and never use winnings without a fixed income budget. Gambling is not a crime according to many religious rules, some religions allow gambling. However, gambling is completely illegal and prohibited for Islam.

But one question I would love to ask you is: have you ever seen every gambling in the world? If you have not, then how can you tell that every gambler has the same gambling lifestyle, or how can you conclude that gambling is a curse?

You have asked enlightened questions. This justifies making hasty generalizations regarding gambling is wrong. We have decent gamblers and some others who have touched lives from the gains from gambling. Would you still regard this as a curse?

What happens to some gamblers is that they take the wrong approach to gambling, and due to how they handle gambling, they become addicted, compulsive, lose their minds to it, and endanger the lives of others with their reckless behaviors. Gambling is not to blame but rather the individual who allows themselves to be ruled by gambling.

You gave a well-dissected response. Gambling is not bad, it is the gamblers who have allowed greed and get rich-rich-quick mentality to override their rationality and this has taken a toll on how they gamble. When you take a close look at people who are profiting from gambling you easily noticed that; they are disciplined and don't approach gambling with a mindset of getting rich overnight and this is why they select very few games and record better success.
