what is the impact of gambling on students?

[Igebotz]

Student isn't supposed to be gambling in the first place. A student that is self determined and want to focus on his study will not even have time for gambling because there you actually need time to analyze games before you play them and this makes you not have time for your studies, it's actually makes you less focus on your studies of you ask me.

Well, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I think what matters is the students reason for gambling. If a student gambles at his leisure time with a mindset of having fun then there is nothing wrong with him gambling but where a student allows gambling becomes a distraction to his study by gambling when he should be learning or reading then it is a problem even if such a student is doing it for fun.

Thus, there is nothing wrong for a student gambling what matters is his reason and time of gambling. A student can be a gambler and still make good grades and another student who doesn't even gamble might struggle to pass exams.

I agree with you.
Gambling itself has no negative impact on a student and will in no way affect his grades, but addictive gambling does.

If a student practices and maintains responsible gambling then he'll be safe but if he's addicted to gambling then it'll not only affect his studies, but also his personal life and that of those around him because that's exactly what gambling addiction results to.

This is so accurate, and I can relate. Students are distracted by themselves, not by gambling. When a student is focused, even if he gambles, his academic performance will not suffer because he will be aware of everything going on in class and will complete his assignments. With this, he is no longer a slave to gambling. It is possible, as you have mentioned, that even those who do not gamble will not excel. Well, IQ differs, and I believe that is what makes the difference. Sometimes the students who put in the most effort do not achieve the best results.

Don't be judgemental mate because sometimes you are  not in the situation to talk like that.

I use to be a gambler when I was a student but that does not affect my education badly m though my funds is at risk but never that make my grades drops.


maybe we should not try to be judging when you are not into that.

It's true, everyone's level of awareness is different. It is better to work with information and provide useful skills. Any problem is always an opportunity for growth.

Exactly what I mean , people sometimes are easily judging things according to how they are seeing
it but not digging to what is really the matter .

learning is part of living , everyone deserves another chance and also we are once become a gambler
when we are student and has different experiences , mine is not so good but best lesson to share for my kids .

Secondly, students are always broke and don't have money on them, gambling means you are using all your money on bets and that makes you inconvenience in school, and how do you print projects and assignments with some other school bills. I think students shouldn't not gamble unless they are at home when they are less busy or bored at home and not when in school.

This is one of the most certain things there is, in fact a student always in most cases has to live off their university scholarships, and how they can see to be able to do things well to perform in their studies and support themselves, in my case I always kept scholarships for my student performance, but for those students who always lowered their grades they no longer had a scholarship, and that was something that happened to many of their classmates, and it was hard for me, always have a good performance to secure my scholarship, then go to a casino where you can lose money, the money that will be lost is from scholarships and things like that, so it is not advisable to play in a casino, at least when you are a student.

Yes, addiction is considered as gambler's enemy. We can't blame gambling for that. Gambling never affects a gambler until the gambler is addicted to gambling. Moreover, there are some gamblers who cannot afford to lose, they gamble with that amount of money and at some point recover their losses and become addicted. If the gambler can think of gambling as a good companion for entertainment or past time rather than as a source of income then this will not have any negative impact. Gamblers who make mistakes will be affected by its negative effects.

Dont forget, that gambling is only one of the things that makes or is able to make an impact on students. Besides gambling, students do multiple things to get distracted from studying. In fact, they most likely do whatever it is possible to skip studying. As a student, who knows what is gambling is, and is able to gamble for money, I see a person who is already +18. Which means a huge world of legal opportunities is open for him. Which means gambling will be one out of many that makes an impact on him, which means a very little impact on his education and character.

Exactly, gambling will have a bad impact on every student especially because it could be that students who should focus on studying sciences about good knowledge and insight are actually more focused on games that confuse their minds into behaving badly.
Like one example that you have said, students who like to gamble can use the event to gather with friends when school hours arrive, they can make plans not to go to school in order to have fun and gather to gamble whether there is a bet or not but this has had a bad impact on the student.

An easy route to addiction is chasing losses and winnings. This is easiest way a gambler starts to get addicted to gambling. This is what it's always advisable for a gambler to only gamble with money he can afford/risk to lose, knowing fully well that gambling is a game chance and luck, so when he eventually loses his bet, the urge to chase the loss wouldn't be there, because when he begins to have the urge to recover the lost fund, he begins to take uncalculated risks in order to recover the losses, which in reality usually leads to even more losses.

Well yeah that is true betting only the extra money we have or 1% from the total income we had is the best way to limit our loses and of course avoid falling to the trap of getting addicted to gambling because we knew how to manage our budget and stuff which is for me the reason why gamblers fail to do.

The impact of gambling on student is seriously bad, and it has impacted the student negatively in a way that it has affected the academics; poses failures in academic performance,mental health issue,risk of suicide,physical health issue and lost of family togetherness.
So problem gambling can be detrimental to student and it is dangerous for Ernest student because of the negative impact it poses on the students. What is your own opinion on this.

IMHO, students should not engage in any gambling activity as long as possible but whether we like or not, they will learn something that pertains to gambling in school so for me we have to teach them the cons or the disadvantages of gambling if they will engage in this kind of activity early in their lives.

So what exactly is bad if university student gambles during his free time? Because he might lose his money? But he is in short of money anyway. If he is to choose between to eat or do buy a ticket to get to job, and to gamble, he would be smart to choose not to gamble. In case he looses money, I doubt that he will quickly return to gambling, because at that age students dont have highly paid jobs and free money to spend. Better for him to lose now and learn how tough it is to be without money, then to be in late 30s, have job, gamble regularly and lose regularly.

Yeah I agree. In school where we met new friends which is also a factor that influences us during elementary days we learn new gambling games from them just like cara y cruz, spider fight, teks or trading card game, marbles and more. Those games will soon evolve into something that involves money on betting and as we reached highschool things will change as we are now having enough knowledge about a more serious gambling like cock fighting, lottery, card games, casino, sportsbetting and more. And that is all a hindrance to the kids performance in school since it is for me one of the distractions of their studies.

If the negative aspects of gambling are known to those who are under age or students, those minors or students could be prevented from such gambling activities or significantly reduce their gambling rates. Minors don't know about gambling while students getting education on various subjects during that time. If they are addicted to gambling then they will be hindered from acquiring their knowledge. it will bring great loss which is definitely not good for the society or the country.

For some people, it's easier to set these limits than sticking to them. Having gambling limits are one thing and sticking to those limits are another, sometimes it may really not be about addiction, because even those gamblers who are not also addicted end up setting a budget or limits before gambling, but when they start gambling, at first they maintain a level head but maybe along the line, they feel the need to increase their stakes in order to aim or target for much bigger wins, and then they end up exceeding their limits. So exceeding of limits came happen to anyone, addicted or not, that's why it's advisable take extra money to the casino, or deposit extra money on your betting account.
