More often than not we relate gambling with negativity because of its implications like addiction and financial ruin but I want to take a different stand and draw attention to the fact that although gambling has negative connotations, there are positives that can be cropped from gambling.
Gambling has entertainment and educational value and these aspects are often neglected but this post will draw our attention to these benefits. In the area of entertainment, some gamblers engage in gambling for fun and entertainment, and when gambling is approached from this dimension it leads to satisfaction, happiness, and excitement. It is worth noting that individuals who see gambling as entertaining do not face the negative consequences of gambling since gambling itself is a source of happiness for them.
In the area of education, gambling can enhance one thinking especially gambling which requires a high level of rationality to win. In addition, engaging in sports betting specifically football betting can make someone know different countries and cities.

Reading this from the perspective that you could get entertainment and education outside of gambling, this sounds like trying too hard to justify someone's gambling habits. No offense.
While I can understand your point of view, the problem is that these positives could still come at a higher cost.
-
I don't think that there will be a positive side of gambling besides getting "entertained". This phrase is only for those who really gamble for fun — meaning those who are financially independent and don't think or care about winning. Because, at the end of the day, gamblers are always lost.
I still doubt about the education in other types of gambling, while I might agree with sports betting. Besides you will know how good or bad the improvement of each team or individual after or while in the game. It's always entertaining betting while watching the game til the end.
-
I agree with your thoughts OP. Of a truth there are some better sides of gambling too which people do not really see but for the fact that the negative sides shades the positive, it is assumed that gambling is a dirty game but it is quite different from the reality.
This is the reason why gamblers are advised to gamble for fun and also with what you can afford to lose because of the consequences of what is attached to gamble. When one gamble with funds they can afford to lose, they gamble with ease and for fun and have nothing to worry about because they know the ethics and principles of gambling but it is the reverse when one does contrary. They lose everything and become chronic gamblers with no control.
I have no doubt with the aspect of one becoming a good and rational thinker because as a gambler, you must be a good and logical thinker in other to play and win otherwise, you will be at the losing side.
-
One positive side of gambling is that it relieves you from. You might be stressed up after a long day at work or after a long week work, you can gamble to ease yourself from that, because you will get yourself of much work burdens. Entertainment is what most people think that gamble serves as but there are more other benefits from gambling. It is only people that sees gambling as a means to make profits that gets ruined by gambling.
-
In the area of education, gambling can enhance one thinking especially gambling which requires a high level of rationality to win. In addition, engaging in sports betting specifically football betting can make someone know different countries and cities.
With this in mind, why would any rationally-thinking person get involved in playing games where they have mathematical disadvantage and are on a path of losing long term?
If you approach gambling from a rational point of view, you'd be limited to sports betting (sniping for misplaced odds), poker (if we can call it gambling at all) or betting on the house (if such option exists).
-
Yes, gambling has a positive side, it is a place for entertainment. Many people gamble because they get fun from gambling games, they spend their spare time by playing fun games. Although it requires some money, it is no problem for some people. But I'm not sure about education part in gambling, but it may be about how to control our emotion and ambition. We are also demanded to think rationally in gambling.
-
I don't know how gambling, like any type of addiction, can have any positive impact. Not even as a hobby, unless the fact that you can share experiences and interests with other gamblers is perhaps socially acceptable.
Today I saw a topic copied from BTT, "Never gamble in front of your kids" or something like that. If there is anything positive, I guess we would teach the children about it, not hide it from them.

Let me deviate a little by asking a question, is it advisable to have s*x in front of children? Obviously it's not and that's why there are laws against underage s*x. But then, is s*x a bad action? The reason why most things are prevented from children is because children cannot handle the consequences that come with such an action. Relating this to the discourse, not minding the fact that the majority is languishing because of gambling, few find excitement in gambling and this group believe that there is a good in gambling. No responsible parents/persons will gamble in front of kids as the bad overweight the good, underage kids shouldn't have anything to do with gambling.

+ karma
Igebotz has touched a very nice topic of discussion. While majority see in gambling only addiction and negative context (and they cant explain why it is like that - its simply bad), it isnt only that. People have totally forgotten that gambling is also about entertainment. With it, watching any sports is more fun and emotional. Education can also be done through gambling. Simple math, adding simple numbers, like 6+7+Ace is 23. Or strategic thinking, if we play poker. Even though this is not really for kids, but it teaches how to read people, bluff, make traps.

Obviously there is nothing in this life that is totally wrong. What you see as being wrong in one condition could be totally right in another condition. For example it is bad to kill a fellow human being but during war you will think that it is morally right to kill hundreds of people. About the sex, it is not bad to have sex but when you have sex with your sibling it is now bad.
It is because of the above reasons that makes adults keep away this things from children. A child who sees where adults are having sex will not know whom to have sex with and they may likely have sex with their siblings. In like manner, a child who sees the parents gambling might not know how to handle it and will use their money to gamble. Both having sex and gambling is what they will eventually do but it is nice that we preserve them till they become adults to make their independent decisions, not only that but also to face the consequences of their decisions.

I don't think that it's the right thing to relate sexual intercourse with gambling. Both are different in their own way.
But I also believe that gambling is not entirely negative. The reason why some gamblers experience negative consequences is that they allow themselves to become addicted and do not control their emotions. It is the responsibility of each individual gambler to be accountable for their actions and not let their gambling habits take over their lives.
-
People cite the downsides of gambling as addiction, financial loss, and variability in use. But with a different position we should focus our attention properly because there are many people who have become rich by profiting from gambling. Gambling is all about people getting rich and thinking it's fun. There are some rich people who gamble to present themselves with a moment of pleasure but do not face negative consequences because gambling is a source of pleasure for them. But some people dream of making money that can actually improve your thinking.
-
People only see the negative aspect of gambling and not from the positive aspects. Now if gambling is for fun then it has a positive aspect of it. Becky at that time it will entertain you to forget some stress and errors you made for the day. But we have to know that there is different between gambling and playing games. In gambling there is no fun but in playing games it is for fun. And in the playing of games that we have the positive mindset of it. When you play games, you do it to entertain yourself and not for anything so there is no thinking of loss or negativity but all is for fun. And as for me I see these two differences. If someone says that he wants to play gamble then money must involve and there must be seriousness in the person's face but if the person says that he wants to play game then, it is just for entertainment and there is no seriousness in it. Please we have to know the two differences.
-
I wouldn't want to dispute the negatives side of gambling but it's more than what people looks into, and again we all gambling as bad thing forgotten the good side of it. Aside from someone being an addicted gambler is there anything else?
Which I knows that the addiction level is brought shame and bad representation of gambling, in order words they finds those who are in these phase of life as an irresponsible people. Then another thing their again gaming is something that is very important as well, gaming is for fun and they are entertaining but we can also recall that it's gaming that draws the interest of gamble why because at the cause of gaming you pick interest to gamble.

Reading this from the perspective that you could get entertainment and education outside of gambling, this sounds like trying too hard to justify someone's gambling habits. No offense.
While I can understand your point of view, the problem is that these positives could still come at a higher cost.
Yes, it basically reminds me of doctors when assessing the benefits and risks of treatment. In this case the risks of gambling far outweigh the benefits of entertainment value. Since I've been at this for a long time, I wouldn't be surprised to see the OP open a thread in the future about losing a lot more money than he set out to do. If he had at least made a distinction and separated sports betting and poker from the rest of gambling, as the other fellow said, it would be a different story.

You are right about your point on this mate,gambling has some positivities and negativities,that is good experiences and ugly experiences,well,I have a little good thing I can say about gambling the few days I started gambling.I won a game a day to Chrismas,when I thought there was no hope anywhere,and there was no where I could take money from,and my whole family was depending on me,but I thank God I placed a bet three days before that Chrismas day,and I was fortunate the game played all.That is to say,gambling can give you food and hope when you least expected.

I don't know why you quote me if what you are going to say has little to do with what I say. What I am saying is that gambling has a lot more potentially negative than positive and not the relativism you express that there are good and bad things apparently equally. And the story that thanks to God and gambling your family was able to eat sounds to me like a total fabrication.

I understand your point, although some things don't compare. for example, I met nudist families who all go to the beach together as a family without clothes. Regardless of the gender or age of the children. If you're talking about sex, it's an intimate matter and you don't share it in front of everyone, and there are many medical reasons why not in front of children.
Sex between two underage teenagers is not punishable by law, is it? While gambling is prohibited for anyone under 18
Gambling, cigarettes, drugs and alcohol are vices and we try to hide such things from children.
-
It is interesting because you are absolutely right, sometimes people have or feel a certain misgiving towards the casino, sports betting and everything that has to do with negative aspects, in another thread I had talked about how there are times when people are commented on I play in casinos and I like bitcoin, and I also make sports bets and that has helped me a lot to understand many things about the game and the systems that are implemented in the casinos, I have learned a lot about the games, for example As slots everything that has to do with RTP, also sports betting I have applied my knowledge as a Professional Appraiser to bet and make a more technical scheme based on the news, the social networks of players, well an endless number of tools that I apply, For me it is very positive.
Regarding what I said about older people, many tell me that this is diabolical because they are referring to addiction, but you have to treat them with great respect and let them know that no, of course, this is with a lot of Patience.
-
This topic started by writing about positive sides of gambling and now it is slowly turning into negative sides of everything ;D
Alcohol in small dosage wont do much harm to anyone, but not if you get addicted and it is like that for gambling.
If regulators want to ban and limit gambling for certain age groups why are they enabling state sponsored lotteries, sport predictions and stuff like that.
Children are exposed to rigged lotteries from very early age, and they learn this is just fun if this is done by state officials :P
-
In gambling, there is no fun but in playing games it is for fun.
I disagree with you, truth be told some people view gambling as a source of excitement and relaxation. They see gambling not as a money-making venture but just to show their level of support for a particular team. For instance, Drake and E-money fall under this category. Gambling has nothing to do with their finance since their aim of gambling is mainly for fun.

More often than not we relate gambling with negativity because of its implications like addiction and financial ruin but I want to take a different stand and draw attention to the fact that although gambling has negative connotations, there are positives that can be cropped from gambling.

In the area of education, gambling can enhance one thinking especially gambling which requires a high level of rationality to win. In addition, engaging in sports betting specifically football betting can make someone know different countries and cities.
In addition to all you have stated, gambling makes one ready and prepared to take informed risk because through gambling, one already have idea of what it means to be persistent in the midst of failure. In other words, gambling help in eliminating that reluctance to try again when discouragement of failure sets in.
I don't consider gambling as entirely bad because there are a lot of good things that can be achieved through gambling or at least it's principles.
-

With this in mind, why would any rationally-thinking person get involved in playing games where they have mathematical disadvantage and are on a path of losing long term?
First, what is your understanding about rationality or what connotes rational thinking? People involve in gambling for different reasons and this reason is rational to the individual and that is to say, what constitutes rational thinking has no general application. Some people who gamble for fun and entertainment is not concerned about the loss. Thus, would you describe them as irrational? To me, no since people hold different opinions about gambling.
-
One thing I find positive about gambling is luck. Ironic as it may seem, those with good luck can profit handsomely from it. Again in football and cricket, those who can guess well and make good predictions can double a large amount of money in a short period of time if they want to gamble. Also through this man can gradually control his emotions and become tactful. And if there was only a negative side to it, no one would ever do it. One of the positive aspects is entertainment. And those who love to take risk easily take risk with their money in this way, it gives them double profit on one hand and sometimes it also causes loss. Finally it is in a state of compatibility for them.
-

Further more in a positive term, gambling has the potentials to enhance and advances our logical faculties to creativities and analogical analysis of solving problems with paving us with the abilities to take control of our emotions at appreciative or depressive periods of times.
Responsibly, gambling would navigate your expenditures while you maintains a reputable and accountable expenses
-
Just depends on the gambler, because alot people at there that gambling gave succeed in ruin there lives, While some people at there that gambling had changed their lives for the better. You can't blame any body showing their view on how they see gambling. Most people has being affected by gambling too much causing them to lose all that is valuable to them.

Can you see the meaning of gambling here? What is gambling (https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+gambling%3F&oq=what+is+gambling%3F&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i512l14.7815j0j7&client=ms-android-transsion&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) and also What is game (https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+game%3F&oq=what+is+game%3F&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i131i433i512j0i512l13.5795j0j7&client=ms-android-transsion&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) We are combining and using the two terms as one but they have different meaning. As I said earlier gambling is synonymous with betting in which each of the players would present money or some valuable objects or something to play against their opponents for hope of winning them and take the thing from the loser's hand. And that is not game. In game you play for fun and for leisure. In game the competition is not for money but for fun. It is to know who can play well. And once money is involved then it has turn to gambling. I will still make some research on these so I can create a comprehensive thread for this in the both side.

They are good with numbers too. I've noticed that those people who are into gambling can easily calculate numbers because they are always involved in it because of their winnings or bets. I am not good at numbers, mostly when it comes to calculations but they can add them up quickly. Also entertainment as it brought fun to us, but there are more negative aspects of gambling than positive ones, but the important thing is that we have fun while at the same time we can control ourselves.
-
I prefer gambling because I can earn money from it. But I suffered a lot of losses when I got addicted to gambling in new times. Because I was not experienced in gambling, I lost a lot of money, but now I have gained a small amount of experience. Now I love gambling but not addicted because I gamble only a few days a week and take rest days off. If you adopt these strategies, you can definitely get some benefits in gambling. Individuals who are gamblers are addicted to gambling and experience losses. However, one should refrain from becoming addicted to gambling.
-
Most gamblers don't see gambling as an entertainment and as education of some sort because of the fact that they are on the other side of it which is to gain profit which majority of us do. For me those aspects became passive when we are after of something more than anything.
-
In addition, engaging in sports betting specifically football betting can make someone know different countries and cities.
This part seems like I kind of agree with you because I also don't really know countries around the world.
Never mind getting to know a city in a country, I'm not very good at remembering some countries in Europe.
For example, I watched a football match, some of which I also don't like football, but only briefly and I saw the name of the team, Dinamo Zagreb.
I don't know where the Dinamo Zagreb team comes from, but for example the most famous football team is Manchester United, it's probably from England, if I'm not mistaken.

Indeed a good example. My own experience - I have seen several times how casinos offer free bets, odd increase or return money in case of a loss on some sports. For example I am not much familiar with fighting sports, but when I was given a chance to place a free bet on MMA event, it would be stupid to randomly make a choice. So I have googled and used wikipedia to increase my chances to win. Also, casinos offer betting bonuses during Super Bowl. As American football is not popular at all, through gambling I get more familiar with it (even though rules are complicated).
Before having all that gadgets we have now, gambling was among top activities to kill time, for example while travelling. During long distant fligts, or when takes +24h on a train to get somewhere, in my childhood we either read, or play cards.

We always talk about the negative effects of gambling but apart from having negative effects gambling has some special positive effects.
Gambling can be considered as an entertainment center.
Gambling can be considered as a source of mental satisfaction for people.
Gambling helps to relieve people's loneliness and for those who live a lonely life, gambling can definitely be a great tool to pass the time.

I agree on some points but gambling in excess will harm your thinking and your pocket as well, It is good if done moderately, and you do it the way it is meant to be and that's for entertainment purposes only, generally it's a harmful activity for those who cannot control themselves but good to those who take gambling for fun and they only use excess money for allocation.
Gambling done in a limited time is good for overall being as long as you keep it that way.
-
Well, yah, you are right, sir igeh... Gambling has its good aspect but most time people usually talks more on the negative side of it forgetting the eductive part too. There was a user on BTT, that asked a question one day and guess what the question was, he asked; "who is a striker". I can believe how funny that sounds but it's actually really that some people could be into sports activity but may not really know the terms involved in football. Gambling on sports can actually expose one to different new knowledge. Gambling also keep our mind active and curious.

This is correct but sadly, most gamblers have approached gambling the wrong way and this has given gambling a negative connotation. For people with a responsible mindset, gambling can be an entertaining and enjoyable way to pass the time.
Engaging in gambling like Poker and Blackjack which involves skill and strategy can be challenging but can develop our cognitive skills like critical thinking, decision making and risk assessment.
Gambling can be a social activity whether participating in a bingo game or engaging in football betting discussions. This can create a bond among gamblers that shares the same interest.

For me the positive side is just the fun of playing and I don't see any other positive side than that. Because there are more negative sides, that's what makes most people consider gambling as a negative thing.
I won't look at that, because basically I know what risks I will get when I gamble. But I only see it as the fun I will get when playing.
I don't know what other people think about this, because I'm sure many people also have different views.

What about being quick at calculating when you play blackjack? What about training memory and memorizing played cards when you play blackjack. What about skill to read people and emotions, as well as planning when you play poker. Arent these skills be considered as positive? What about new friends and valuable connections you can make while gambling? You never know who you can meet during gambling. Arent all these benefits for you ?

Your story is the same as mine but there is only a difference in the part about gambling.
You do free gambling in the MMA fighting sports section and I didn't try it even though it was free. :P
Yeps, since I was little, when I traveled long distances by train or bus, I seemed more likely to sleep, read novels and look at the surrounding scenery.
Smartphones now make things easier for everyone, so traveling on trains and buses can also feel faster because they focus on their smartphones for gambling.

Interesting questions to show that there are a lot of positives in gambling. Gambling does not harm anyone. It is the individual who harms himself by trying to get rich from gambling. If gambling is an all-round negative thing as most people have painted it, how come it hasn`t harmed all the individuals who engage in gambling?
To the best of my knowledge, some persons are happy that they are gambling. The problem we have is not that we gamble but because we approach the game with greed and then lose our sense of reasoning. This is the genesis of the problems and it shouldn`t be blamed on gambling

I will make a small digression on your post :)
Interesting questions to show that there are a lot of positives in drugs and alcohol. drugs and alcohol does not harm anyone. It is the individual who harms himself by trying to be happy with drugs and alcohol. If drugs and alcohol is an all-round negative thing as most people have painted it, how come it hasn`t harmed all the individuals who engage in addiction?
To the best of my knowledge, some persons are happy when they are consuming drugs and alcohol. The problem we have is not that we are addicted people but because we approach the vices with running away from reality and then lose our sense of reasoning. This is the genesis of the problems and it shouldn`t be blamed on consuming drugs and alcohol
I guess you understand my point. ;)

...//:::
In my childhood board games were frequent, of all kinds, board games may sound strange today, but were vital in hours of entertainment with the family, before XXI. e.g. about monopoly, Chess... various card games and obviously poker.
Then, I grew up according to my childhood stages in that variability of games, even chess was an important part of my adolescence, along with sports. Card games arrived when I was +16, always at those family gatherings...
As an adult I ventured into online poker, where I devoured all the documentation that existed related to the game, its mental and mathematical aspects...
As an adult I ventured into online poker, where I devoured all the documentation that existed related to the game, its mental and mathematical aspects...
I have been playing online poker for more than 20 years and as I always say: "you can play poker and not die trying"
I think that the analytical and systematic thinking that poker has can be a good collateral for those who seriously venture into it and then when you realize that your skills have a limit, and that they leave you as a player in "fun" by condition, then the use of that learning in your daily decisions will surely have a positive impact.

As far as I'm concerned,gambling and it addiction depend on it users,there are people who gamble,but do not abuse it,When we abuse gamble,we do different things that we aren't supposed to do all in the name of gambling,like take loan because of gamble,or selling your important valuables and properties all in the name of gamble,this happens when we do not reason well,and we allow our emotions control us.
For those persons who think gambling has done more harm than good,we can also say gambling has helped alot of people get the life they wouldn't have gotten ordinarily,but while gambling,things changed for them,and they ended up being financially bouyant.

More often than not we relate gambling with negativity because of its implications like addiction and financial ruin but I want to take a different stand and draw attention to the fact that although gambling has negative connotations, there are positives that can be cropped from gambling.
We cannot deny that one of the things that often happens in society is their opinion on gambling. Surely it will be associated with more negative sides than positive sides. And that's a normal thing to happen. Why? because indeed the impact felt in society in general is like that, increasing criminal activity due to uncontrolled gambling addiction and causing chaos and crime.
But on the other hand, actually, gambling is not that bad 100%. because there definitely is a positive side, it's just that maybe not all parties do it or take it into account.
Gambling can make us learn how to wisely control emotions, finances, risks and also decision making.
On the other hand, gambling can also help us increase our income and profits, of course everyone likes money. But of course it's not that easy to get in gambling. so it really takes a lot of effort.

When I saw the title of this thread, I was somehow excited that I would definitely learn anything. Although the thread actually made some sense and contained quality but it did not meet my expectation. I was expecting an article that a government will finish reading and make gambling compulsory for all her citizens. Maybe my expectation was too high and start his wife it was not met.
The issue of sports betting making one to know different countries of the world is truth. But personally it made me to only know the European countries as I hardly follow or watch the clubs in other continents in my own continent Africa.

Gambling helps to relieve people's loneliness and for those who live a lonely life, gambling can definitely be a great tool to pass the time.
If gambling gives the best impression for those who want to spend it, it can be said for me too because for me spending that time is suitable for experimenting with college assignments and real work in gardens and rice fields or raising fish in ponds.
I live with parents who farm, garden and raise fish and goats all the time, so spending time on gambling doesn't seem to me to be effective. :)
Everyone is entitled to have an opinion, including you, and I appreciate that, but I like doing my final college assignments on my own.

I was expecting an article that a government will finish reading and make gambling compulsory for all her citizens. Maybe my expectation was too high and start his wife it was not met.
No matter how beautiful this article would have been, it would still not be proper for the government to make gambling compulsory. If the government makes gambling compulsory will the government provide money for the citizens to use in gambling? If it is compulsory don`t you think it is injustice for those who have little finance and are managing? Don`t you think making gambling compulsory might lead most people without control to gambling-related crime?
Making gambling compulsory would violate the principle of personal autonomy. Forcing someone to engage in gambling activities against their wish will infringe upon their agency.
When we consider that gambling also has negative consequences like addiction and financial ruin, compelling individuals to engage in gambling activities would expose them to these risks without their consent potentially exacerbating harm and causing significant distress.

The positive side of gambling may be gathering together with everyone, old friends or neighbors.
For example, old friends who have gone abroad and returned to their hometown meet again and play cards to gamble.
For example, there are 10 old friends who are present and all of them are gambling by playing cards, maybe they are chatting with each other while telling stories about their time abroad, their work or careers in life abroad.
But it would be nice to get together and play cards without needing to use money to gamble, just play cards without needing to use money, maybe that would be better. :)
-
For me the positive side is just the fun of playing and I don't see any other positive side than that. Because there are more negative sides, that's what makes most people consider gambling as a negative thing.
I won't look at that, because basically I know what risks I will get when I gamble. But I only see it as the fun I will get when playing.
I don't know what other people think about this, because I'm sure many people also have different views.
What about being quick at calculating when you play blackjack? What about training memory and memorizing played cards when you play blackjack. What about skill to read people and emotions, as well as planning when you play poker. Arent these skills be considered as positive? What about new friends and valuable connections you can make while gambling? You never know who you can meet during gambling. Arent all these benefits for you ?
As I said before, we're all going to have different opinions on the positives of gambling, and for me that's not a problem at all.
Yes, you also said positive things by cultivating thinking power when gambling, there is no problem with that. But once everyone will definitely have a different view, including me and you.
Again, I will not look at it from the negative side or from the positive side, because I have been gambling for fun all this time.
-
One of the positive things I see about the game is that every time I'm going to I always put in 10usd to do it, then it's incredible, but I see this as a service, I'm not looking for a win, what I'm looking for is entertaining, because I like the games a lot Maybe it's because of the music, because I don't know if a good victory is coming, but that de-stresses me, it relaxes me, it sounds something different and at the same time stupid, but I like to see things like that, the rest of the things Well, I don't care about this, basically when I'm playing any other game I'm looking for a win and it doesn't matter to me what I spend, but in the slots it's just for my total relaxation.
I discovered this a long time ago, and for me this is my positive point, those 10usd go away very quickly, but sometimes I win free spins and then I stay there a little longer, of course when I get big wins, well it costs me a lot more and that is something that lifts my spirits more, although the truth is that I always end up with that balance, that is what my fun costs.
-
There is no positive side that can result from gambling if the person doing it is still from a lower middle-class economy. Gambling can only be done by those who are financially stable, so gambling will be used as entertainment only, not to make a profit, but if you get a profit, it is just a blessing. It can indeed be obtained.Don't start gambling if you don't have good finances; it's better to use crypto investment, which obviously has a positive side.

More often than not we relate gambling with negativity because of its implications like addiction and financial ruin but I want to take a different stand and draw attention to the fact that although gambling has negative connotations, there are positives that can be cropped from gambling.
Gambling has entertainment and educational value and these aspects are often neglected but this post will draw our attention to these benefits. In the area of entertainment, some gamblers engage in gambling for fun and entertainment, and when gambling is approached from this dimension it leads to satisfaction, happiness, and excitement. It is worth noting that individuals who see gambling as entertaining do not face the negative consequences of gambling since gambling itself is a source of happiness for them.
In the area of education, gambling can enhance one thinking especially gambling which requires a high level of rationality to win. In addition, engaging in sports betting specifically football betting can make someone know different countries and cities.
In every field in life there are positive and negative aspects and in gambling platform though there are many negative aspects for us but there are definitely positive aspects and people can learn a lot for themselves from here. If a person participates in gambling then he must be ready to take maximum risk in life and also if a person participates in gambling he must be patient because gambling teaches people to be patient and take risks. Also education can definitely be gained from here as Op mentioned here a lot of experience can be gained in sports an inexperienced person can never bet in gambling if he is not experienced in sports betting and whenever he is experienced in sports betting he will be known all over the world. Can recognize every player and recognize every country. So even from the harmful side you can gain knowledge if you take that harmful side positively.

The basic thing is that not everyone can be successful in gambling and that's what everyone fails to understand, some persons hear about others success stories and hold on to that thought without knowing the full criteria's that supposed gambler covers because some persons gamble very comfortably with the fact that the funds is already there so they just do the act to atleast pass out time and enjoy while the crazy gamblers who don't have enough funds take their gambling habit to the highest extreme and some of them become addicted because they take more risk when placing their bets.

For fun? For earning money? This will depend on the result of gambling itself. If it is about losing in the game and also not earning any money, this will be hating, right? And it must be thing that will make somebody feel sad, not fun anymore.
Especially in this case. There is no guarantee that gambling will not make someone addicted. Therefore, there must be knowledge and understanding from the start regarding the dangers of gaming. So you can really understand what to do when gambling.

Those who are addicted are those who treat gambling can make money but the fact is they are losing money and wasting time playing in a casino that doesn't have the assurance that they will make money from it.
Only those who enjoy gambling are those people who only treat casinos as entertainment purposes that is why there are two types of people who gamble It is not fun if you keep losing but for those who seek entertainment for them, it is just for fun even if they win or lose.

For me, the positive aspect of the game is that yes, you spend a different time, a time where you clear yourself of all work, of all serious obligations you have, it is something unique and for that reason, but I consider that the things They must be under your care and under a command because they should not leave, it is because I cannot go overboard or overdo my things, that is, I cannot, the casino is not going to return it to me because I am a busy person or because I have a family, more expenses or something like that, because the casino does not force me to bet, I can go to a casino just to watch and not play, the casino will never force me to do anything in my life, so we as responsible people are the only ones who should take care of ourselves.
Addiction is not the responsibility of casinos, addiction is the fault of the person who falls into addiction because he did not know how to deal with it, that is how it is, now, as they are positive aspects, well I believe that entertainment and enjoyment is one of the things That should be considered for this, and that it will have a different time.

There's always a merit and demerit to everything but gambling has no Merits attached to it all, you might say that it has advantages because people are winning, calculate the percentage of those that make profit from it and you will be shocked, you will realise that it's actually a losing game. Those who are financially stable can also have set backs if they are addicted gamblers because no one has an unlimited bankroll but they are on the advantageous side because they always have more to risk, it still doesn't mean you should stake too high. Gambling has too many uncertain outcomes this alone Is what makes it very harmful

Well, before doing anything, if the subject is well mastered or understood, then it is possible to get positive results from it. But when it comes to gambling, none of the gamblers are interested in knowing much. They gamble without knowing about gambling or how gambling should be conducted and what needs to be done to conduct controlled gambling. At some point, those gamblers suffer from gambling. Gambling has some positive sides such as it can be fun or companionate for those who spend time alone. Many people take to gambling to distract themselves for a little while in the busyness of work. If insight is to be seen, then there are certainly positives as well as negatives.

to me there is no positive thing attached to gambling,gambling to me is not okay in the totality and that's why we hide it from our children and don't want them to gamble because it's bad.my opinion

Is entertainment not a good thing? Is it wrong for a person to seek pleasure? There are people who find happiness in gambling and do not engage in problem gambling. Gambling has no inherent meaning. The meaning attached to it is determined by the gambler, as judgment is always rendered based on the gambler's attitude.
If a gambler wins, even those who chastised him for gambling will begin to consider gambling themselves. However, when a person is wrecked by gambling, those around him are advised not to gamble, and he is used as a reference. Thus, whether gambling is positive or negative is determined by the gambler's gambling style and the influence of gambling on him.

Agree with you, before doing anything we need to have enough knowledge and understanding about that subject, never expect positive results based on guesswork, in gambling we should see it as a form of entertainment, fun or companionship when you are alone. Maybe and sometimes if you are lucky you will get some money from it which will entertain you more (this is the positive side). And its negative side is much more terrible, we have to keep ourselves under control to escape from its addiction. Because it can lead a gambler to a lot of losses financially. So knowledge and self-control are needed to avoid the negative effects of gambling.

to me there is no positive thing attached to gambling,gambling to me is not okay in the totality and that's why we hide it from our children and don't want them to gamble because it's bad.my opinion
The reason why we hide gambling from our children is not because of the morally inclined nature of it but because our children are too young to understand anything about risk management - to them it’s just a game and the more money they put in it the greater their chance of winning a huge amount, that’s all gambling is to them.
If they are well vast in the field of management then you’d have seen some parents freely gambling in front of their kids without the fear of them picking up that habit but since they don’t want to do anything as stupid as letting them learn gambling that’s why they keep it a secret.
-
So aside from the negative sides of gambling it also has a positive side if disciplined enough when playing. It enhances mental skills because it needs strategy and critical thinking in predicting odds in gambling, Risk management gambling helps you to know your risk appetite when you play, and emotional control when disciplined enough you can manage your emotions well and stay calm at all times which can help you not making big loses.

Children should never be prioritized in gambling. Because children only need to be educated, getting them into gambling at this age will lead to the habit, which can have a negative impact on their future. Every parent should educate them with proper education so that they can grow up and earn an honest living in the future. Every parent should always keep a watchful eye on their child so that they do not get addicted to any risky habit and then emphasize and educate them in proper education. Gambling is not a good thing, I don't think it is good to let them come into gambling in any way.

Just throwing some info for discussion. Children and gambling should not go together, because they are not aware of risk management and money. But what if they are already understand what is risky and what is not, and understand the value of earned money. Kids are different. Some became matures early, some being +18 keep on seeing world through pink glasses.
To make it short, if kids managed to get job (some countries allow kids to start working from 14), they "have seen life", can they be allowed to gamble then?
-
To make it short, if kids managed to get job (some countries allow kids to start working from 14), they "have seen life", can they be allowed to gamble then?
First of, there is a reason why gambling is age restricted - the fact that they have managed to land a job doesn’t automatically make them fit to gamble.
Like we mentioned before risk management - even most adults don’t know how to manage their risk when pleasure or fun is involved - in a normal situation they maybe able to properly handle it but since gambling also comes with them having fun it becomes more difficult for them to realize what they are doing. And the same goes for children, even if they have “seen life” as you mentioned it will still be difficult for them to properly grasp everything when fun gets into their head that’s why gambling should be kept far from them.
-
I can definitely tell you that gambling is a great source of topics and speculations. I love listening to stories about gambling addicts or guys who beat the casino. And this is already a great positive side of the casino. Well, as for me, I want to say that the casino is a great stress reliever.
-
Many people take to gambling to distract themselves for a little while in the busyness of work.
Well to be honest I do something similar but only with one game, it is with the slots, with the slots I sometimes have 5usd to spend, to lose, but why? it's that the slots with their music, with their memory, what I do is bet and enjoy, in some way it de-stresses me and even if I spend 3 or 4, 5 minutes or more, that helps me not to have more stress, it is as liberating for me as when I go to the football stadium to watch my national team, because there I yell, I swear, I celebrate, and that in part helps to get rid of all that stress that is so bad and toxic.
-

These are the negative aspects that we must know how to handle , for me it is one of the options to learn when we make mistakes in Trading , now even more so in games because games are About Chance with the exception of Private bets , when it comes to sports betting I try to be as Precise as possible with everything that has to do with making the best of my decisions based on what I know, and with my research , which is about newscasts , news , among other things , that is why sports betting is a great option for most players.

Another positive thing about gambling and gamblers is that gamblers are very positive people, and some of them developed this attribute from gambling. It is a big sign of positivity to keep maintaining the same positive attitude that you are going to win each time you gamble, even after you've lost a lot of times This is an attribute that gamblers possess, which I have noticed and highlighted in one of the topics that I wrote before.

No gambler needs to be told but they do it by their own self. They try again and again if they fail once. They believe that if they stick to gambling, they will win today or tomorrow. In any case this trait must be viewed positively. Not only in gambling but in every aspect of life if a gambler is determined and tries again and again then he can definitely win at some point. However, no such assurance is given in gambling. But I think a gambler should consider this trait positively.

For me, gambling is a great stress reliever and a way to have a fun evening. Just imagine - you come home tired on Friday from full-time work. You want to relax, but not watch movies and play games. Then you can set aside a few dollars to play poker or look for interesting games, like Mission incrossable

personally it can go either way lol sometimes i get too competitive and end up stressing over trying to win but i can’t lie that it is indeed fun and can take my mind off a few things for a certain period of time which during a weekend is what you’d really need
sometimes if there’s an occasion you can allow yourself to gamble on a larger scale and bring the real fun in the occasion you are celebrating of course always be mindful of how much can you spend and lose for this celebration alone

You are right my friend, and of course we all have cloudy days. Not necessarily this wonderful time will turn out only with profit and pleasure from gambling. Sometimes you can worsen your mood by losing. And in such a situation the most important thing is to stay within the limits of self-control.

Yes, not all the time we are lucky to win and you are right we must always be mindful of how much we spend and stay within the limits of self-control. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and forget the limits. But as long as we keep it fun and don’t go overboard.

You need to be able to determine for yourself: how much and when you can spend. It's very difficult, I understand. Because it's very easy for us to break our own rules, because no one is watching and will judge. So everyone does it their own way, someone sticks a dollar on the monitor to remember the value of money. Someone installs special programs. It doesn't matter who and how, the main thing is that it works.

Actually, this is something that looks easy, but in practice it is very difficult to do. Because there will always be an urge to spend more than we can afford and we must control it as best we can.
Especially for those who are already addicted to gambling, it will certainly be more difficult to manage finances well. There must be control that can actually only be done by ourselves.
-
There is positivity in gambling, when we have the right mind and approach on how we are doing it, it will be well done in the best and proper manner, with the way most of us have seen gambling to be, this is something that has a good impact on us when we apply it the same and exact way of how its been expected, most of those having other negative impression about gambling is because they are not doing it as being expected of them.

You know we tend to look at things very easy and think we can do it until we try it ourselves. There are things we talk about and give analysis to an extent that those listening would think that we’ll be able to do it without want stress but when that time comes to put it into action we start struggling - the same thing goes with this aspect of controlling ourselves so we don’t get addicted or do things that will eventually harm our financial life.
I have seen people who counsel people on how to stop alcohol become alcoholic themselves and those who preach about addiction being addicted - it takes more than just knowing the danger to be able to avoid it - if you’re not the type that has made up his/her mind not to ever do something and also train yourself towards not doing that thing, you’ll only end up knowing without being able to execute.

that is true like they said it is easier said than done
if you are someone who has not yet experienced a certain phenomenon let’s say gambling addiction for example it would be easy for you to say to just avoid gambling but for those who have been gambling for a long time knows how hard it is to de associate from gambling and stop doing it let alone stop thinking about it
i know people who never thought they would be addicted to gambling but as soon as they started, they fell in pretty quickly

i know people who never thought they would be addicted to gambling but as soon as they started, they fell in pretty quickly
Addiction does not begin one day. It is built gradually, which makes it difficult to stop. Personally, I believe that just as prevention is better than cure, gamblers should be guided from the moment they start gambling in order to avoid addiction. I wish bookies would make it mandatory for all newly signed up users to read about responsible gambling before completing their registration. This should differ from the company's terms and conditions.
The significance of this is that when one person is addicted, it affects those around him and even the image of his society. This is because an addicted gambler will engage in a variety of obnoxious attitudes aimed at satisfying his addiction. An addicted gambler believes that gambling brings him happiness, but this is his nightmare.

You know we tend to look at things very easy and think we can do it until we try it ourselves. There are things we talk about and give analysis to an extent that those listening would think that we’ll be able to do it without want stress but when that time comes to put it into action we start struggling - the same thing goes with this aspect of controlling ourselves so we don’t get addicted or do things that will eventually harm our financial life.

Yes, anyone who has enjoyed the pleasure of gambling once will definitely want to gamble and those who have been involved in it for a long time develop a special interest in it but when they gamble against their eagerness or out of control they are known as addicted gamblers. It must be difficult for a gambler to quit gambling at that time, it is n easy task for non-gamblers but definitely a difficult task for gamblers. Not all gamblers are addicted to gambling but a good portion of those who initially choose gambling for fun have become addicted gamblers.

Yes, not all the time we are lucky to win and you are right we must always be mindful of how much we spend and stay within the limits of self-control. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and forget the limits. But as long as we keep it fun and don’t go overboard.
You need to be able to determine for yourself: how much and when you can spend. It's very difficult, I understand. Because it's very easy for us to break our own rules, because no one is watching and will judge. So everyone does it their own way, someone sticks a dollar on the monitor to remember the value of money. Someone installs special programs. It doesn't matter who and how, the main thing is that it works.
Actually, this is something that looks easy, but in practice it is very difficult to do. Because there will always be an urge to spend more than we can afford and we must control it as best we can.
Especially for those who are already addicted to gambling, it will certainly be more difficult to manage finances well. There must be control that can actually only be done by ourselves.
In gambling, it is really important to understand your weaknesses. If you know that you are easily tempted by gambling, it is better to stay away. Lack of restraint can lead to big losses and disappointments. Gambling is not just a game, but a real test of strength. The ability to control your emotions and desires is the key to safe participation.

Understanding one’s limits is an important step for those of us who gamble, as emotions and impulses can be a major factor in the outcome. Without the ability to resist temptation and remain rational, the risk of losing can increase dramatically, often accompanied by deep regret. When the urge to continue playing arises after a loss or when feeling on top, this is where self-control is truly tested. Knowing when to stop and maintaining discipline while playing not only protects our financial well-being, but also gives us the opportunity to participate more safely and responsibly.

Gambling is really that created for the sake of fun. It is really just that there are really those individuals who are really that losing off their control on the moment or time that they will really be experiencing loses and instead on trying out to move on because they are just that doing for fun but instead they do make out deposits even more and thats why they do really messed up their live because of it. This is why it is really that important that you should really be wary at least in the things that you are really that dealing into and not really just that
making yourself ending up on getting impulsive because you are the ones who do make out such decision.

There is positivity in gambling, when we have the right mind and approach on how we are doing it, it will be well done in the best and proper manner, with the way most of us have seen gambling to be, this is something that has a good impact on us when we apply it the same and exact way of how its been expected, most of those having other negative impression about gambling is because they are not doing it as being expected of them.
Well, the positivity I see from gambling is that we are being entertained from it and winning on it is just a bonus. It can be a stress reliever of some sort if we are playing responsibly as it can make us forget our problems for a short period of time that if we can control ourself.

I totally agree with you. A man should be aware of himself as to how much he can control himself especially from gambling tendencies and his ability to control his emotions. Patience is a very important element for a gambler because it allows him to control his emotions and it is not only in gambling but also in real life that people who control their emotions are more likely to succeed in every field. People who consider gambling only as a source of earning money end up losing money overall and eventually become addicted.

I feel sorry for those guys who are good at Mathematics and think that they will win a lot of money in poker. But most of them lose. And it's a shame, because they spend both time and money. However, it's an experience for them, unfortunately in life all experience is always associated with losing money.

Security and ease of use matter a lot. I always check if a platform has strong protection, like two-factor authentication, and if transactions are simple and quick without hidden issues.

Of course, it’s good to spend time with something that can cause pleasure in our very hectic lives. It’s important to come across something that would make the atmosphere more relaxed from time to time because the amount of stress in our day to day lives is overwhelming. Thus if gambling becomes an entertaining activity and a way of having fun, then for sure it can be enjoyable. It is said that winning can be satisfying though what is more significant is doing all one can do to win over the burden. Thus, if something has to be done with a certain feeling, then it will be a more fulfilling experience.

I think gambling will not bring this pleasure but rather the gambler will make gambling pleSPAM BANble for himself. This is so because a gambler who is not greedy and tries to find happiness through gambling while understanding the role of moderation will certainly have a long lasting pleasure.
This pleasure is lasting because the gambler in his wisdom have avoided gambling in such a way that his emotions becomes at stake. To me it is normal to show emotions but when a gambler lacks moderation his emotions becomes heightened which will affect the amount of pleasure he can get.

There is really nothing to enjoy in a busy life. A person has to be dedicated to work all the time. He has to be responsible at work all the time. And at that time it is difficult to find any source that can entertain a person. Because those who are working cannot be happy with anything ordinary. But there are many who see gambling as a special opportunity. Because of the possibility of winning and losing money, it acts as one of the most important entertainment centers for those people.

Yes, gambling has a positive side, it is a place for entertainment. Many people gamble because they get fun from gambling games, they spend their spare time by playing fun games. Although it requires some money, it is no problem for some people. But I'm not sure about education part in gambling, but it may be about how to control our emotion and ambition. We are also demanded to think rationally in gambling.
Yes, you are right, it serves as aid in relieving stress or anxiety for some people but most people can’t help but get addicted to it, which makes them to have loss due to the high interest of love for it, so in as much as it serve as a form of entertainment and helps us in times of need, most at times, we need to gamble responsibly because it’s easy to start but difficult to stop and might lead us bankrupt, in as much as it has advantages and disadvantages, doesn’t mean the advantages are 100% sure. Let’s be wise.

Exactly, it is very clear that the result of what brings a momentary pleasure is not always good for the heart. The truth is that more and more people cannot even imagine how it is possible for a thing which was initially a kind of entertainment to turn into a kind of addiction. Self-interest in something to an extent that their limits are crossed hence continue practising it even after feeling the unpleasant impacts. Finally, what could be useful becomes a source of even more challenges. It is a problem that not a few people are aware of, and once they have attained this self-deceptive kind of temperance, changing it basically cannot be done.

We have to be positive about gambling, not everything we take in an abusive manner, gambling is what we should learn how to enjoy doing, so that we are going to see it as a profit on is each time we gamble and not minding either we lose or win, we should to develop ourselves from other areas of the sports and games which we play, so that it won't appear to us as frustration each time we are gambling within having any experience in it.

The earlier gambler's do away with gambling for profit to earn a living, the better for them because it would save them the stresss loosing more and also losing their self discipline and responsibility.. Gamblers with such nature never goes far in life because they turn addicted and looking for what to always do to spend gambling because of their addicted nature.

You are right, for implying that a person may have a good or a bad attitude towards an experience depending on how they went through it. Usually, if it is approached without much pressure and with an open mind then every process that passes through will not be felt as a burden. All people do not have to make something that brings benefits in a different form because what is crucial in life is how a person can find pleasure in doing something without having to work. When the perspectives are broadened in this way everything that one goes through in life will be a lesson without as much agitation.

I believe the main reason why this is so is simply because more and more people who are coming into the gambling sphere nowadays are coming in with a very huge misconception and flawed viewpoint of what gambling stands for. Especially those who are either struggling with their finances or those from a poor background, now since they hear or even see that people are winning some good amounts from gambling, they start seeing an opportunity there, an opportunity to escape poverty and financial difficulties.
Now getting their and seeing something different from their expectations and probably getting stupid motivation from their fellow gamblers who have also lost it, they still continue pushing their luck till the whole profit chasing becomes a normal business for them and then it becomes too late or almost impossible to eject from the system.

I agree with your view that we should maintain a positive mindset about gambling. However, regardless of our attitude, it's natural to feel frustrated or disappointed when we lose, even if the losses are within what we can afford.

Gambling can also be a hobby to someone but that doesn't mean that he will become addicted. I am only pointing out on benefit of gambling. However, those that will always gamble for profits cannot use gambling as a hobby because they will overdo it and become addicted. Those who gambles once in a while for fun can use gambling as a hobby.

In my view, one cannot compare all the people who engage in gambling activities to alcohol, saying that not all of them will experience difficulties with moderation. There are those who play for leisure or just for fun and do not feel the need to engage themselves all the time. The only marked difference between the two is the motivation towards the assimilation of knowledge and information that is needed for the accomplishment of given assignments. If it is made, for instance, as an entertainment and without pressure that they have to meet certain criteria, it shouldn’t be a problem. On the other hand, when the motivation is more focused on searching for profits that come one at a time, then a person can develop a pattern that they cannot let go easily. But where Gambling exists in a person’s life is the factor as to whether it serves as entertainment or much more than that.

You are absolutely correct, that is why it’s advisable to do whatever thing in moderation because excessive of something leads to destruction, which can be very harmful to human wellbeing, also one has to gamble responsibly, learn to control their emotions and spend the amount you can afford to loss, in order to avoid being a victim of loss.

Can not disagree with you. Not everything or everyone gambling related should mean something bad. Not everyone is losing in gambling or bothers about money after all. Some find gambling as a relief after working day. Someone finds spinning ball in roulette or slots as a meditation. Some people love to count cards to make their brain work, sort of a solving crossword puzzles but with money. Not everyone translate everything into monetary terms - it is ok to spend money; it is ok to spend money while trying to earn money.
One of main ideas why people consider gambling bad - because they lose money. Loosing, means they have less money. If that is like that, then think about any other form of entertainment. You need to get there, get back, buy ticket or pay for service. Same idea of doing something and getting less money in the end. Then why nobody consider attending converts, events, movies, going to work after all as something bad.

Low-income people should not go near a casino. A casino should be treated with respect when gambling or risking money, because it's very likely that you'll lose. So one of the positive aspects of a casino is that it can only be seen as adult entertainment. Basically, you'll win or lose, and you have to adapt to that.
There are many things that must always be Considered , and one of them is Responsibility, I believe that the casino does test a person's responsibility.

It is true that there is a little positive side to gambling with rules, but if it is excessive, it cannot be said that there is a positive side, what is there is that the negative side is more prominent than the positive, where people will become greedy and hope for gambling as a livelihood.
-
Gambling, I don't think the form of its entertainment and its educational value are the only positive aspects of gambling. There are other positive aspects we don't quite notice on time; we disregard them because the negative aspects of gambling shade those parts away not to be noticed.
However, the positive aspects of gambling I have noticed are, that it stimulates our brains and gives us a sense of excitement when gambling. Gambling can serve as a stress reliever

Well, for me, whether you are rich or not, as far as you can control or handle your emotions when you becomes the victim of losing, then you are good to go. Because not all the rich people has the ability to control themselves when they lose some amount of money and they might not even have time to have some kind of fun especially gambling. So in as much you have self control or awareness of what gambling is all about, the benefits and it’s consequences and also I didn’t dispute the fact, that says gamble responsibly.

It is much wiser for a person to be able to keep oneself in cheque rather than to have much money. They too cannot remain calm especially when they are on the receiving end of the loss making situation. This is possibly the message cut out from Jane telling that it is better to be calm and understand oneself, at least something more than things. The money may be earned, lost but character is proven on how one conducts himself or herself during bad times. You have pinpointed the direction that is most important to understand that work on oneself and one’s character is a priority and that it depends on oneself as to how one proceeds further, where and what one works. Not all the people have such awareness, however, the fortunate people who have the ability to restrain themselves have more valuable than the money in their hands.

True, if it was possible then gamblers should be subjected to emotional check before they are allowed to venture into gambling. Most of the cases of addiction are common with gamblers who cannot control their emotions since they constantly chase loses out of compulsion due to inability to take charge of their emotions.
The implication for this is that the gambler will continue to lose yet will find it so difficult to take a break because of the feelings that he can only be happy when he recovers all his loses and then gain from the bookies.

I like your reflection, and yes, it's very wise. However, I'm someone who will always say that the basis of every game is controlling money, just like in trading.
Control is something difficult to do or achieve. I've tried a lot, and the truth is, I always fall into temptation. It's impulses more than anything that make me make mistakes, not so much emotions. Because emotions are something I have somewhat more control over at this point in my life, but impulses are difficult.

impulses and emotions are very well intertwined, no? most of the time you fall into your temptations or impulses because you prioritize what you feel more than what you should be doing
you have impulses because of what you feel you might feel anxious so you have an impulse to protect yourself or you might feel so excited that you feel tempted to do something out of adrenaline

Yes, managing money is a chore that is not very easy since we see it and sometimes we act impulsively without even knowing it. It is possible to know as engineers what is the right thing to do at the given situation, but one gets the impulse to act on certain ways nonetheless. No one can be immune to it it as one needs to practise how to control such impulses. Nevertheless, just acknowledging that impulse is a major challenge is already a major step in coming to know oneself. From experience, this can be achieved by practising patience and gradually increasing the specific constraints in order not to make the same mistake over and over again. This is not about perfection, but how we can go on learning in order to apply control to the decisions in order to focus them.

I understand and accept the part of gambling for fun and entertainment, because that is the way I take gambling, and if everyone who gambles takes gambling like that, then there won't be need for addiction.
For the part of education, it is true one will learn/know different countries and stuffs, but that is not a good reason, it is more like justifying gambling to be good to venture into. I believe you know that there is emotion in gambling, and one that makes you want to do what you don't feel like, with this, there won't be room for learning to take place.

I agree with you, that in gambling emotions will tend to push us to do something that should not be done.
The only thing I can see is as you said too, that gambling is just for entertainment. If it can entertain us then that's good, and don't forget also only a few people make gambling as a place of entertainment, and most of them lead to addiction in my opinion,

That's right, in fact one of the things that excites many people about gambling is because it produces adrenaline, they have and believe that they can have control over their money and multiply it, the mere fact of thinking that what they have risked can fill them with much more money is something that becomes a rich sensation, something that you always want to feel, now if you win then even more, then I think that those are the things that we should see because gambling in casinos, sports betting will always have that relevance.

In any society, there are certain activities that are done with fun in mind and since it does not go beyond what is acceptable, it is an aspect of entertainment. Disregarding these, experiences always come with some emotion perhaps the reason as to why a person will do something that he or she did not plan to do. It is part of the impression that humans make to something that they find shocking. No risk can be considered complete which still allows for the control of an activity if such has a lesser negative effect compared to something that can be enjoyed. However, if feelings make something that turns into something hard to control, then the interpretation of the activity changes. This is typical with many things that are characterised with a lot of emotion input when making decisions.

Any gambler who has gambled to a point where he can no longer control his emotions has becomes addicted. An addicted gambler is a failed gambler. This is so because he has lost control over his finance. An addicted gambler is obviously not in charge of his gambling.
Gamblers like this are always not happy with how they gamble but it is a sad reality that such gamblers cannot resist the urge of gambling.

Such gambler needs to quit gambling and seek for help from a professional. I have been addicted before and I know what I I passed through and how much I lost at that time. I was able to overcome addiction by the help of my family members, I pray that nobody will become a victim to addiction because it controls you mind, body and soul.

If you gamble just for fun, then it is okay. But if you gamble to earn money, then it is a completely wrong idea. Because people face more losses than gains when they gamble. Suppose you have so much money that if 5 percent of it goes away, you will not suffer any loss. In that case, you can consider gambling as a means of entertainment. Because through it, you will get mental peace when you win the game. But if you gamble out of greed, then it is a completely bad thing.

i do not think that people gamble to find peace
peaceful is not one of the words i will use to describe gambling and casinos when you win the game it is exciting and fun it is exhilarating when playing the game it give you a sense of thrill and when you are in a casino you often feel a rush of adrenaline

Maybe it's going to be off topic..
In fact, the root of all this is our dopamine. In fact, our excitement increases because of dopamine. We have no control over this dopamine. During such gambling, this dopamine hormone is at its peak level. Which encourages us to gamble more. However, we can get this dopamine in other ways too, such as winning football bets with great difficulty. But in the case of gambling, it is obtained without any effort. For this reason, once you play it, you want to play it again and again

Generally, gambling begins with some form of entertainment but over time, it becomes an issue that is hard to curb. The desire of chasing a win back your losses, or even easing your tension can pull a person further into the spin. Everytime it takes the raw and interferes with how you think and even with the decision making processes that have social, emotional as well as financial repercussions. However, the situation does not remain the same and therefore no situation can be considered as impossible to change. Still, it is possible to overcome this situation with the help of your closest people and the desire to change for the better. The most important aspect of understanding is to know that there is a change from the existing detrimental habit and it is better than continuing with such. Since each one of them has been able to come out of this, there is hope for those who have not come out.

The reason why most people commit suicide or run into depression after losses a be is because of this same issue, which is that they see gambling as a quick rich scheme and due to this they may even borrow and collect loans from people in order to gamble because they believe they will get the mine back in a thousand fold, but is this really true, the answer is No. Gambling has a lot of risk associated with it that is why one should always be wise when gambling, don't use all your money to gamble, iky gamble with a small portion of it, so that when you loose, you may not really be affected by it.

Truly, it is the gambler who gives meaning to gambling. Most gamblers do not speak positively about gambling because it is unpredictable by nature, which affects the rate of profit gamblers make. Gambling is not bad in itself.
When people gambler wrongly and lose heavily it is attributed to gambling which in the ideal sense it is the gambler who should be blamed. When a gambler wins big people gets motivated to gamble and at t he at point people begin to see gambling as lucrative.

Well, the positive aspects of gambling in general are difficult to put into a context where everyone is satisfied. For me, they can be listed like this:
1. Fun
2. Entertainment
3. Having a good time.
But it can have other benefitsv, Personally, I like to play slots, but only for therapeutic purposes , Yes, it sounds strange, but I like to play slots just to de-stress. I'm not interested in winning money Obviously, if I win, I cash it out and I'm happy. But slots, for me, mean a moment of relaxation, even if it's 5 minutes or even less. That gives me time to relax and have a different kind of time.

Well, when it comes to casino games where your luck decides that whether you'll win the game or not then it's not going to be a way to earn money. But, when there're games where people play with skills and yeah even on those games also luck is involved then one can earn money from gambling. A simple example of such game is poker, in poker one can win money with good skills. However, I still think one should not consider gambling as way to earn money or to get rich.
