Today evening, I was spending some free time by surfing various websites. Suddenly a website caught my attention which talks about the benefits of gambling. I was surprised because negative thoughts about gambling is so common, but positive thoughts are rare to find. So I went ahead and read the entire article. The article actually talks about the positive sides of gambling which I believe everyone should know and it made a lot of sense to me!

The article lists 7 points as the benefits of gambling:
1. Gambling Stimulates Local Economies
2. Gambling Is a Form of Entertainment
3. Gambling Can Take Place in a Safe Environment
4. You Could Win
5. Gambling Contributes to Government Budgets
6. Gambling Creates New Forms of Revenue
7. Gambling is a Form of Game Play

The article is actually a tight slap on the popular belief that "gambling is harmful to the society". So I encourage everyone on this forum to read the article and understand it, especially the non-gamblers! Gambling is not a fools-heaven, it's just another business and an opportunity to the gamblers! Hope this article would clear your mind!

The wrong economy that drives gambling is legal, because gambling will benefit the country because gambling houses will pay the taxes already in use for any legal business. Not only profitable for state taxes, gambling also increases tourism

I think the economy of the country will grow because of the gambling owners pay the tax and I think the amount will bigger because the owners take a big profit too from the business. maybe we can see in Macau and las vegas which gambling is legal, many tourism come to that places just for playing gambling. but I think there will be many negative from the gambling that we should aware so we don't play gambling in every day and spend a big money on the games.

Yes, there are still also a lot of benefits of gambling and we cannot deny that fact, we can hit a jackpot in no time and we can be a millionaire that we didn't expect, but we also be careful because we must also know that it is still risky and we need to take some limitations for it.

That is true but we also cannot deny that there are more risk than the benefit in gambling, if you talk about hit a jackpot, it's only a very small chance to get that.
