Gamling as a entertainment

[Crwth]

What are you talking about? People should be changing their views on gambling? Is that what you think? Is that the solution when you are trying to just advocate for gambling? See your post at the end and see its evil effects, Why would you want people to change their views on gambling when there is a fact that it causes problems?

I think you have A very different view when it comes to gambling because it shouldn’t be accepted easily in terms of the possible effects of it in the long run.

Gambling is a form of entertainment for the rich and famous

On gambling sites, you will see few games that you can gamble with as low as $0.05. You will see several games that you can bet as low as $0.5 if just few games can be of $0.05. So, gambling is not only for the riches but also not meant for the poor. There are categories of people that are above poor and below riches which can also gamble. But what that is very important is that they should gamble reasonably.

That's the important point, no matter how rich we are, we should gamble sensibly and not excessively. Likewise for those of us who are poor, we must gamble sensibly and must not force ourselves in the hope that luck will come at that time.

I know several people who are quite rich who ended up having to sell everything they had just to gamble. Yes, some of them are willing to sell cars and other things. In the end they lost everything.

The casinos are out for business and that is why they allow all categories of people to gamble by having very low amount that a poor man can afford to lose. The problem lies on when gamblers becomes greedy and want to take money from the casino because they believe that the casino has enough for them to play smart on. They will keep on gambling to see how they can make profit unknown to them that they are on the road to addiction. When addiction comes in, it becomes a big problem to the gambler and his family members. This is why we should see gambling as a means of entertainment and only gamble with an amount that we can afford to lose.

You are right. A gambler can spend a lot of money and not win, while another gambler can spend little money and win, but some gamblers are unaware of this. I overheard a gambler say that no matter how much money you lose, you should keep gambling because gambling is analogous to waiting in line to withdraw money from an ATM, and you can not make a withdrawal until it is your turn. So it is with gambling, and according to the person, all you have to do is keep spending while waiting your turn. He believes that if you stop, you will not be able to win because it will not reach your turn. 

In my thinking, this is wrong. Apply discipline when gambling, and do not expect to win. Most of the time, the expectation causes financial ruin.

I think I saw a post like that on the other forum. Sometimes some people may just want to troll or post rubbish and nothing more than that. If the person is serious, he may not know how to express himself in a way that other people will understand what he meant. I know someone that is using $0.167 almost every week to gamble but I can not advice him because that is a little amount of money which he wants to use to win very huge amount which is nearly impossible by chance. This person is gambling with even less than 0.1% of his monthly salary. 1% of someone's salary is recommended. If you continue to gamble and lose, that does not me you are addicted or wasting money on gambling. The percentage of money that you are using  and losing will determine that.

The purpose of gambling should be as entertainment because to get income from it for me is impossible because even with large capital there is no guarantee of anything, there is a loss of more money due to excessive addiction.

Gambling with a certain amount of money that is ready to lose after losing you have to rest don't force to play again because the entertainment is over when the bankroll is no longer available.

It is true that addiction has many negative effects on the social around them, where they dare to borrow money from friends or other relatives, dare to commit crimes in order to fulfill their desire to play gambling.

Gambling is viewed negatively by many but people should change their view.

It will not be easy for people to change the view they have about gambling. Before there can be a change in gambling notion and the view around it, these same people have to see more persons who gamble responsibly, people to whom gambling is not a problem. If these people become exposed to people who are responsible gamblers, there can be a possible change in their idea and perspective about it.

You're absolutely right
One of the hardest things to do is to change a person's perspective about something they've already accepted in their minds, and gambling isn't an exception, if a person's perspective about gambling is that it's a means to increase their wealth and make profits, and has been gambling all his life based on that perspective, it'll be almost impossible to influence the person into changing such perspective and adapt to the point of view you're tryna show them not even when they truly know that what you're telling them is actually true.
The best way to be able to influence such a gambler is to continually make him see how possible it is to stay a responsible gambler and what being a responsible gambler is supposed to look like as well as behave, when he encounters this everyday, it'll be easier for him to gradually make all the necessary adjustments.

One thing for sure all addicted gamblers are very much hopeful that one day they will win big so they continue to gamble...and if they are enjoying doing so then I would not stop them from continuing except if gambling is going to affect one's financial standing and can cause problems in family and work. Unfortunately, in gambling there is no guarantee and luck will not easily come to anyone. And that is why I don't gamble all because I don't take losing money for nothing that easily. People who are financially literate will never entertain the idea of throwing money to the bridge just to get entertained or have the chance to win a lot of money...in most cases that hope will be greatly crushed by reality and the reality that gambling operators are actually the real winners and not the bettors.

Gambling games as entertainment is how it should always be seen, there is no other way, consider it as a path to success as well as a profession, but to have fun and have total control of how much money is being generated in each game session, lest good and fun entertainment become a nightmare, to prevent this from happening, the easiest thing for me is to control the money that will be put into the games, and from there not deposit more, I think that is success, for the rest, those who want to control emotions or other things, it is something more risky.

Indeed, from the start, business was their goal, so in business there will be a profit target that they have to get, so don't think that they set up a casino to share money with its users.

In fact, there are restrictions that they set, such as an age limit that requires users to be 18+ to play, but that is only on paper or in other words, they will also turn a blind eye if someone gambles even though their age is not allowed.

Gambling can certainly be a source of pleasure but if one abuses it, he is deprived of that pleasure as well as harming himself. There are many gamblers who enjoy gambling. They still enjoy the moment of gambling even if they lose money. It is true that going to a casino and meeting others increases social communication but if a gambler becomes addicted again the opposite picture emerges. The gambler will enjoy the results as he accepts the gambling. If gambling can be managed by controlling the greed from the platform then definitely the gambler will be able to enjoy gambling.

As we have different perspective on things so would some persons have their own view on gambling. Some persons take gambling as a source of income and such person are likely not to take gambling as entertainment but rather would take it more serious and probably spend more. Though people with the mindset of using gamble as a source of income often get addicted and start gambling irresponsibly. But it's best to take gambling as an entertainment and know your risk tolerance so you don gamble too much or use money for other needs to gamble.

That is the basis for everything, as long as we maintain control of our money then everything is fine, the bad thing is that when we are playing we do not lose control, which is very easy to happen because the game and everything that is to risk with money we have many temptations, then sometimes fun , relaxation can quickly turn into stress and pressure, that is what we must avoid, because when that happens we would lose control of everything, which would lead directly to a path of Addiction.

Control and moderation would really be the key and this is something that you would really be needing on the moment or time that you would really be finding yourself dealing up with gambling.
On the moment that you do lose that control and moderation then this is where shit things do happen specially on the time that you do get addicted. You would really be losing control when it comes to the money that you would really be gonna spending and this is why it would really be that important that you should really know on what you are really that dealing with.
You cant really just that make yourself being impulsive because you've been hoping that gambling could really be that making you rich.

[SamReomo]

what is your opinion ?

My opinion is similar to yours, a person can enjoy gambling without any issues but if someone gets addicted to it then that's not a good thing at all. I believe gambling in moderation is enough to entertain someone but when someone does it excessively then it becomes harmful.

If someone wants to enjoy gambling as a fun activity for entertainment then he/she should first learn about gambling responsibility and also get proper knowledge about gambling addiction. That way he/she can enjoy sometime with gambling activities without getting addicted to it.

A very good opinion, yes as long as we play gambling we can control ourselves in limiting money to play then our economic condition will be safe but most gamblers who are negligent in controlling themselves when playing gambling are due to a wrong understanding, namely they think that gambling can make money easily and quickly so that they gamblers will always play without control and the result is clear, namely losing a lot of money and the regrets they will receive.

Most times these set of gamblers who consider gambling for its profitability and how much they can gain from it may have gotten these wrong and flawed perspective and mentality of gambling from people who introduced them into the system, their referee may have told them that gambling had the ability to earn one and honest living and coming into gambling with such mindset, it becomes impossible to change your earliest perspective and if not controlled, it could lead to so many wromg and impulsive choices, simply because you want to win at all cost, since you already believe thats what gambling is all about, aboit winning and making more profit.

Gamblers should always remember that gambling is a very risky and unpredictable activity, hence the reason why it's unsafe to depend on it as a source of income but rather as a recreation activity or just for the thrill of the game, by always considering gambling as as form of entertainment, we'll understand how to be able to manage risk and also know when to walk away from the casino, which is a very important thing to do, especially when things are heating up.
