how do gambling expert mitigate the spread of gambling?

[TomPluz]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
