The Positives of Gambling

[MUGNIA]

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
