Now and then which is better?

[pieppiep]

Just stop projecting and live within the reality. If you want to change sports betting or completely eliminate gambling, then goodluck. You don't even really know how gambling started, I don't, but I bet people back then would kill another person just to win something. If you move back further in time, I think men showing who is superior or stronger to win a woman is also a form of betting.

Well, It is not an easy task to transform people’s behaviours from something that has been familiar to them for many years. There are ways that we can take as initial measures in order to establish fewer detrimental effects on gambling on people’s lives. When we had focused on some aspect of our existence long enough, many of us take it in as a norm to revert to it fairly often, but it does not mean that that particular aspect cannot be done away with. If we learn to support each other and understand what it is that we both wish to accomplish, then a new route that we both want, and is superior for both, can be established. Consistent efforts that we take today will take us to greater steps for the future generation as a whole.

But unfortunately sports betting is now the order of the day accross the world. Teenagers who have access to the internet have turned gamblers. I personally feel that the world would have been a better place without gambling. There would have been less regrets and wailing. There  also  would have been more believe in the dignity of labour.

Well, can you suggest a solution to the problem that you're saying then? You're just stating the problem, but you can't give any solution just like many here. There's a famous quote saying, "If you can't beat them, join them." I'm not saying that you gamble as well, but if you can't give any concrete solution to what's happening then just let it be and avoid it as much as possible.

The world would be better without gambling? This is just a fantasy coming from you, but you didn't live in a time where gambling isn't popular. As for teenagers turned gamblers, you're stereotyping, and not all of those teenagers that have internet are now gamblers. I know some here in my community, and for sure there are many around the world that are the same.

Please let's just accept the fact that gambling is here to stay just like cryptocurrencies. You as a person can avoid gambling though. Just don't get tempted to do it.

Yes you are right, there is no real problem if someone is open about their gambling, because they are also using their money, unless we are also harmed by their gambling activities.

Now the problem is that people gamble with something they can't really afford to lose, that's what is really the problem. Because of that it might cause other problems.

In this case I own gonna  fully this agree with you because what you have said that is also through that now a days people are gambling with that fund what they can't afford to lose and also another dangerous thing is people were being addicted into it.
In this case I have to say there is nothing but wait to make more awareness about the gambling responsibility, and the casino sites promote themselves that should be moderate and create thought in the mind of people like this gambling is for only entertainment.

Waiting for them to realize what they are doing is wrong is also not good, but we will also have difficulty making them realize it when they are already at a very high level with their gambling.

This is actually a complicated thing, especially if we are not their family. Unless we are their family, I think as a family we have the right to remind them in a harsh way for example.

I will not exaggerate you because these things are also true.
I have some close kwon people around me those were just like that addicted sometimes they asked me some dollar for gambling, even then when they were asking money from me they said another reason and after that when they lose their bet they shows their regrets to me so that I will not ask them give my money back soon.I also tried sometime to aware them but most of them listen their own not mine and stay with their addiction.

It does take some resolve for us when handling such occurrences especially if it is with those we are close with and may not be fully aware of the harm they are caused. The notion of help making does not always require satisfying their demands as soon as we know that the purpose they intend to use it is not wholesome. At other times you need to define your limits in order to be able to continue helping them without enabling them to continue in their undesired behaviours. They may have all the sorrow and all the regret in the world, but that’s no reason why we have to pay the price for their actions. Being able to continue encouraging them to wean them self out is a great accomplishment averting a huge decision so that ultimately it lies solely in their own decision making.

Unlike now where people sit at home doing nothing but believing that they can win 100m with hundred naira.

This is just state of mind and is for those who doesn't wanna to make any effort to become productive to themselves, gambling has been existing for centuries now and same problems has been there, just that there is a redefinition of gambling where they world financial system Is gradually changing and we can gamble anonymously without people around knowing that we are gambling. We can still control our gambling activities by regulating it without even thinking that all our lives dependency lies on gamble to change our stories.

Now this has become a more complicated matter, because they have dared to borrow money to gamble. I just remind you, if you give them a loan while you know the money is used for gambling, then it will become a habit.

Maybe right now you can still empathize with them, but believe me sooner or later you will become annoyed with their habits and in the end you may have a bad relationship.

Actually what you are thinking or saying has already happened to some extent.
In the meantime, their relationship with me had become such that taking loans from me and gambling became their regular habit. Later, when I saw that they were not giving back my money on time, I stopped borrowing them, even then I still get money from them. And I have taken my decision that I will not lend to them again in the future for this what changes in our relationship I will accept that.

What you did was right, regarding whatever will happen then it is beyond control, because this is a very sensitive matter. I can also predict that they will definitely start thinking about something bad when you no longer give them a loan.

But that's the risk, especially once again this is a sensitive matter. Sometimes we have to do or say something bitter, yes it is for our own good and maybe others.

Sometimes when People have problems with the game, it is appropriate not to do it, it is Always better to avoid certain things at a given moment because it affects our overall Health , if there is Something that falls badly due to a circumstance then we should not do it, as much as we like it but it hurts us we must control that Impulse of not doing things, it is not in this way that possible  Problems that come and stay in our lives will be Avoided , later on, you can play Without problems but with a superior Maturation of the problem.

Actually, this is the reality of the world. I have already understood that even if I give them a loan, our relationship will be bad if they give me money later. Rather than that, I think it is better to tell them no in advance and let there be some disagreement there.
And at the last, it may also appear that they will blame me for losing so much money gambling because I lent them money. That's why I'm already trying to stay away from these places.

Sometimes we have to take such steps and try to stay away from something that will cause us a problem. Not because we want to make the relationship between us bad, but there is no other choice if everything can't be discussed.
Actually we also don't want to do something like this, but the circumstances force us so we have to do it.

[Didia Sofunichi]

Cast your mind back to when sports betting was not as rampant as it is now. There was less addiction and people worked hard for their money. But unfortunately sports betting is now the order of the day accross the world. Teenagers who have access to the internet have turned gamblers. I personally feel that the world would have been a better place without gambling. There would have been less regrets and wailing. There  also  would have been more believe in the dignity of labour.

Unlike now where people sit at home doing nothing but believing that they can win 100m with hundred naira.

we are in a digital era now,not only gamble so many activities have double up,gamble doesn't affect the world it only destroy the individuals,it is a matter of choice,while some are not chronicle gamblers just like me i gamble when i choose to it doesn't have edge over me.

I agree that so many activities have doubled up but I am more pertinent about gambling because of its devastating effects, it crumbles its victims to the point of death. I have seen first hand the effect of gambling on close friends so I detest it even though I haven't left it

And besides, I think that these decisions will not only benefit me, but also the public that is there will refrain from gambling if they were not borrowing from some other people.
And the wisest advice I can give is that it is better not to do these related money transactions between friends because in the end, the friendship is not the same anymore.

Now is more better, because things have obviously advanced well to where they were now in gambling, we should not only get focused on the bad side, instead we should look around to discover above how gambling have made some required changes in human lives to where we are in it today, there is no doubt that we are going to missed the past, but however, we are still appreciating the present developments we have with gambling this present generation.
