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.

The gambling industry has been growing exponentially for the past many years and it is online type of gambling that can be making big record of revenues and I am sure this can be true in all countries where gambling is regulated and allowed by the government to flourish. Gambling is one of the biggest sources of tax and that is why even if the government can foresee the many ill-effects of gambling they still allow them to operate. Just like other bad vices like smoking, overeating, drinking alcohol, there are many people who are addicted to gambling even allowing themselves to be destroyed in the process. One thing for sure is that the government has the big responsibility to control the spread of gambling but it is, of course, a big failure on this aspect as it is the receiving end of money coming from the gambling industry. Now, the best way to mitigate and control gambling falls on the family where education should start. The problem is that we have many failed families in the society that left many young people get swallowed by destructive vices. I am not sure if our education system is playing a big role in educating their students on the many side effects of gambling or they are just turning a blind eye to this issue. In summary, all of these situations can mean one thing: gambling is a good business to get into as more and more people are falling prey to its trap.

No gambling platform ever recommends accepting gambling as a source of income. But man's excessive greed makes him move from that normal state to a different level. Makes him dreamy and at one point becomes addicted. Gambling is always suggested to be controlled. There it is said to spend such money whose loss will not create any problem in his personal or family life. But when gamblers engage in gambling especially those who are addicted they spend their own money and late they try to borrow or use family needs money on gambling. And this is how they bring about their own disaster.

That is in fact the main purpose of gambling, and until a gambler learns to view gambling as a means to have fun while also having the chance to make money, then he'll always end his gambling sessions in loss and regret.
A gambler's priority and main focus when gambling should first be to have fun while doing it, and then the monetary rewards can come afterwards, but prioritizing the monetary rewards could make one to lose focus while chasing the wins and in some cases, the losses and in such case, can easily allow his emotions to get the best of him and help him make decisions.

By repeating words gambling addictions, managing gambling time, planning budget, allowed only from +18, people already create a special negative vision on gambling. By saying 100 time "gambling addiction", people convince other and themselves that addiction problem is so huge. I am not saying that gambling is not addictive, but imho a person must put enough effort himself to become addicted. Moreover, when did anyone of you ever saw gambling addicted person that is in real deep trouble? Despite hearing it from someone or reading somewhere? I think spread and addiction issues are exaggerated. There are much more worse things in the world than giving so much focus on gambling addiction issue.

The title doesn't make any sense at all.
Instead of "Ways to mitigate the spread of gambling in the society", why not just change it to "How to mitigate your losses in gambling?" I mean what's the meaning of "spread" in that?
Excluding the word "spread", I think that what you said was all true. The lower the time you are spending in gambling, the lower your chances of getting addicted are and vice-versa. On the other hand, managing finance or in this case, budgeting is always a good thing to learn. I mean knowing how to budget might lessen your losses in gambling because you will know how much money would be allocated to gambling. Setting the limit and sticking to your plan might be the best option if you're a gambler.
Overall, gambling gives more negative things than positive things to a person, so it would be a better option to just avoid doing it or if you really want to gamble then at least have a budget for it, and stick to that budget whatever happens.

A gambler can decide on these matters. If the gambler feels that he is regularly losing money by gambling or the results are never coming in his favor then the gambler should stop gambling at that moment. If a gambler continues to gamble without taking a break and is unhappy with his results then I would say he is gambling unnecessarily. A gambler should always take gambling seriously. A gambler is safe in his gambling as long as he can take gambling seriously because it is wrong to consider gambling as a simple game.

Well, I don't understand what you mean by taking gambling seriously but I am of the opinion that gamblers shouldn't engage in gambling actively but rather passively to prevent getting addicted. When we are too serious with gambling then it can easily affect us psychologically and mentally which becomes a challenge to leading a normal life.
Gambling whether it is seen as a simple game or not doesn't change it from been a game of luck. In fact, no strategy or philosophy about gambling is 100% which tells us that we can still win even when we see gambling as a simple game and we can lose even when we decide to be serious with gambling. At the end what matters is gambling with an amount you are prepared to lose.

You're absolutely right.
Being too serious with gambling or considering it as a source of income could turn out to be rather disastrous or have negative effects in a gambler's life, this is usually because gambling is supposed to be mainly for fun and recreational purpose and not seeing it that way couod incur lots of losses or lead to addiction if not tackled earlier.
Although there are professional gamblers who actually do consider gambling as a source of income but these are people who actually understand the risks involved and have good management skill ls, know when to cut their losses, but when an inexperienced gambler goes ahead to take that path, without first acquiring the necessary knowledge, experience and skill, then the outcome becomes regrettable.

We can say this easily, but in reality those who are addicted to gambling will find it very difficult to handle, because there is an urge that makes them want to continue gambling even though they always lose.
They must realize that what they are doing is wrong first, from there they can start to slowly reduce their gambling habits. Because if they don't realize all that, it will be very difficult to stop it.

Absolutely right. It is still up to us whether we have good habits in gambling or the opposite that might lead to massive loss. Our journey in gambling really depends on our own decisions so we should be gambling responsibly. We should control greed or else we're going broke anytime.

I think how we see gambling today depends on what perspective we had about gambling when we first started gambling, for those who learned about gambling as a way to multiply your money and a way out of financial problems, it can be easy for them to get into gambling problems and apply greed when gambling which of course we know could have a very devastating outcome on the gambler.
A person's gambling foundation determines and says a lot about what perspective the person would have about gambling and the impact it'll have on the person.

To a reasonable extent you are right but then we shouldn't deny the fact that perception also change. Some gamblers who in their gambling career hoped to become rich, along the line stopped gambling and others who was so active in gambling became passive gamblers. This justifies the dynamic nature of human.
For instance, I introduced a friend to sports betting and so when he started gambling he thought he could make money from gambling but as he continues to gamble he realized how difficult it was to win and so he told me that a gambler is always a loser that he can't continue gambling and throwing away money that could habs been channelled into a more reliable business. So, the foundation doesn't always matter because there could be a turn around.

A person has to have the will to want to manage their time or manage their finances. If they would rather gamble and throw caution to the wind, they are going to. Unfortunately, people are stupid to a degree and let their addictions control their minds.

Absolutely, it is important for a person to have total control of what he does rather than allowing things around him to control him. A person who takes control of his gaming time and finance as you noted, will mitigate some of his losses and avoid addiction. One thing about addiction is that, addiction is a behavioral disorder and so when a gambler is addicted automatically he loses control of his behavior. Therefore, a gambler shouldn't get to a state of addiction if he wishes to continue taking charge of his gambling conduct.

It is not that gamblers don't know that they can get addicted due to excessive gambling but the problem is they get carried away with chasing their losses or the greed of not being satisfied with their little wins and want to win more. Profit is always the cause of addiction, that is why any gambler that only gamble to entertain himself will definitely be a responsible gambler. He will plan the amount that he will use to gamble and once he has lost it, he quits the game because he had fun. Addiction should be avoided in order for one to live a healthy life and at the same time enjoy the fun in gambling.

I agree with your submission. In addition to what you have noted, some gamblers turn to gambling as their saving grace. Saving grace in the sense that they believe that gambling can aid them in solving their problems. Unfortunately, gambling creates more problems than it solves.
Thus, it is better for a gambler to get rid of such intention and understand that gambling is not a problem solver. When a gambler understand this his approach towards gambling will change and so he will gamble with limitation knowing that any money used for gambling is lost.

This is exactly my ordeal. I will share my experience. I had 50,000 Naira and I was to pay school fees which was 120,000 Naira. My parents told me that they would send me the remaining 70,000 Naira in 3days time and so due to lack of patient I quickly went to my betting app to place a stake of 20,000 Naira for 3odds so that I could make extra money. Sadly, I lost and I continue gambling until I lost the 50,000 Naira. Now, when my parents gave me the 70,000 Naira , I placed it on 2odds and also lost. So, gambling is never an option or an avenue to solve problems because as you have rightly noted, gambling will compound the problem instead of helping to mitigate it.

Only an ignorant and desperate gambler would believe that gambling, which is marked by uncertainty, could help him overcome a problem. Borrowing and then solving a problem is more reliable than gambling with money that might have solved 10% of the problem. Though you may be lucky, I cannot rule it out, the truth is that most of the time you will not win, so it is better not to rely on it at all than to hope to be lucky.

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.
and in the end, despair, due to mistakes and without realizing it, there are already a lot of debts and they are everywhere in high amounts, and with an unstable mentality, end up ending life by leaving this debt, which happens a lot in today's society, committing suicide because of gambling debts. on line

Might sound weird but it happens. Being in debt can lead to someone considering suicide or even committing suicide in order to avoid pressure from his creditors. Something similar occurred in my neighborhood, when a man drank sniper and died to avoid the pressures of multiple people he owed. I am not sure what drew him into debt, but the point is that a person can become so indebted as a result of gambling addiction that they resort to suicide, as you have mentioned.

Regardless of the negative aspects of gambling, we cant deny the fact that gambling provides us with ability to have fun while playing games, this is the m9st important aspects in gambling and the reason why we gamble in the first place, more also we have to uncover what it is to gamble and what the negative aspects are and how their play out in our daily life's.
Gambling addictions and high debt ratio in gamblers is what triggered the discussions surrounding negative aspect of gambling, but aside from that, if gambling is done within the desired fundamental nature it means that you can easily be secured while gambling and wont have any need to record most of the negative aspects a d results.

It is not that gamblers don't know that they can get addicted due to excessive gambling but the problem is they get carried away with chasing their losses or the greed of not being satisfied with their little wins and want to win more. Profit is always the cause of addiction, that is why any gambler that only gamble to entertain himself will definitely be a responsible gambler. He will plan the amount that he will use to gamble and once he has lost it, he quits the game because he had fun. Addiction should be avoided in order for one to live a healthy life and at the same time enjoy the fun in gambling.
I agree with your submission. In addition to what you have noted, some gamblers turn to gambling as their saving grace. Saving grace in the sense that they believe that gambling can aid them in solving their problems. Unfortunately, gambling creates more problems than it solves.
Thus, it is better for a gambler to get rid of such intention and understand that gambling is not a problem solver. When a gambler understand this his approach towards gambling will change and so he will gamble with limitation knowing that any money used for gambling is lost.
I agree with you, we have to give up and throw away the words "gambling can change your life."
indeed the word is correct but the meaning of the word can be said to be better or worse as you say, from observation there is no gambling that makes people rich

That phrase had caused more harm than good. The hope that gambling can change people's lives has led to so many gamblers becoming addicted. When a gambler believes that gambling has the potential to change his life, he will pursue losses with the goal of recouping them and making millions. This has not worked for many gamblers, which is why the vast majority of gamblers complain on a daily basis about how their lives would have been better if they had not gambled at all.

It is normal that some people do that in order to promote their way of playing or their teachings, but above all it calls my attention because many do promote it, and that remains in the brain because they play with the need of some people to make money, and of course for them it is not complicated to play, it is the easiest thing in the world, it is better to play than to study, because with a stroke of luck there is a lot of money, but really these things have to be said to clear up any doubt of those people who believe that in the game the opportunities to win are greater, that cannot happen,that cannot happen and much less to be rich.

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.
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.
The world has gone full digital, there really isn't any way to effectively mitigate the spread of gambling except you want to take away civilization, and IIRC gambling have been in existence since the ancient ages, the only way to get through it, is to go through. I'm not saying everyone should or must gamble to understand the risk and societal perception about gambling but quick education and gamble awareness is best way to stop it. It's just like how sex education are being applied to be thought in the early enough stages of school programs so that young ones can understand everything, pros and cons, dos and don'ts that are associated with sex at their pre puberty stages, the same thing would be the most effective way to curb gambling menace. Once there is a proper general education being passed around their gambling isn't a get rich quick scheme or a job at such, the closer we'll be to eradicating gambling addiction.

Yeah, you are right, there are more negative impacts of gambling than positive ones. If we look back, we could see gambling was used for pleasure and joy. Friends and many other people came to casinos to spend some time and play some games, and that's why at that time gambling was not as destructive as it is in today's time. In my view, all the problems start from financial issues. Those people who come to gamble to fulfill their financial needs cause more problems in society. When they lose all their savings and money, they resort to stealing money from other people, which leads to crimes and other illegal activities. So, if you want to gamble, you must find some other source of income and never depend solely on gambling to support your finances.

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.

Yup, i do agree that the disadvantage of gambling outweighs the advantage of taking part of it, i mean there is so much cons to gambling that it could ruin family relationship as anything that involves money could ruin the family. As i gambler myself, i just see to it that i don't go beyond my limit so as to not compromise my personal budget. Bottom line, gamble only when you have the time and excess money.

From there is born that which with great pride I could say that it is Better to spend the money that you are willing to lose, having that as a base is the main brake so that cases of addiction do not occur and also would be guaranteeing the enjoyment and to get all the coins of a person, because above all we are human beings, repressing emotions caused by the game is not so Pleasant, because we will always be left with desire for more , and necessary to win more, but once you spend what you have to spend in a game session you must Appeal to the discipline and responsibility of not depositing more money, that is the secret until now I have not found another more effective method of self-control.

Well, I believe that when it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of gambling, which one outweighs the other is up to the gambler. This means that the advantages and disadvantages of gambling are assessed on an individual basis. This is why, when the question of whether gambling should be banned or not arises, people do not speak in unison. While some enjoy gambling, others regret their involvement.
However, regardless of the gamblers, I agree with you on the importance of not exceeding a gambling budget. This should be encouraged among gamblers because it is an antidote to problematic and excessive gambling.

*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.
Actually when you put your title into GAMBLING EXPERT means they know well what they are doing specially in their time spending and decisioning .
but that does not mean they keep winning because even experts experienced losses.
they are just good in handling their funds when to stand the table and when to stay.
*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.
even how good you are in financing but you cannot control your eagerness to gamble means you earn nothing but losses.
know first to control your desires .

When gambling is not done for entertainment purposes it becomes a problem because it might have some negative impacts on you as a gambler. Putting yourself under control as someone who's already addicted is quite difficult but not impossible this can actually be achieved but it takes a lot of discipline. Managing your finance is a way to reduce the risks involved, you can do this by staking not more than 5 percent of what you earn In a week, this is going to cut down what you spend on gambling and minimize your losses
