I felt guilt for convincing the people to come into gambling when some of my friends I invited them for gambling got addicted very soon so we need to pick the right kind of peoples for making them gambling if we have the poor people to make into gambling then it may affect them and their family life.

So I think you need to help your friend if somehow he becomes an addicting person in gambling because you are the person that convinces him to enjoy gambling. Maybe he cannot get what the meaning of enjoying gambling and makes him continue playing gambling and makes he lose his money. No matter what, he still your friend and it is your duty to get your friend and leave the gambling games. And if we want to convince people to enjoy gambling, we need to select who is the right person that can know what gambling games are so he can avoid becoming an addicting person in gambling.

Yeah you should feel guilty because convincing people for gambling means you are committing crime, not everywhere in the world but in most of the countries. You should do opposite of this. You should try to prevent gamblers from gambling and tell them the bad consequences of gambling. It is much better to convince them for some positive and respectable work.

Gosh! I love this forum!! Has there ever been a day I do not get to see some comments that are extremely funny and laughable ? How on earth is he committing crime for bringing people into gambling or trying to convince them that it is enjoyable ?

Everyone as long as they are of age should be able to make decisions on their own rather than getting themselves convinced by someone. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying what he has done is a good thing, but saying he commits a crime by doing that does not sound right either.

Everyone may have their own perspective into looking at things, but usually, if you know yourself and what you believe in, you cannot be convinced and anyone who gets convinced to me is just weak to make proper decisions on their own. Nonetheless, it is a very wrong idea, because in the case where such persons get to become an addict, he might have his conscience to judge him.

I laughed as well but I think what he's saying is that in some countries, gambling is actually not allowed, hence, a crime.

Everyone has indeed their own brains to think so let's just build a middle ground instead. I think the middle ground in here is instead of convincing the person to not gamble or instead of convincing them to gamble, lay down all the pros and cons of gambling. Tell all the advantages and disadvantages as well. Maybe you can also speak from experience. Then, let the person himself decide. "Convincing" someone would mean that you're trying to achieve a particular outcome. If he indeed start gambling because you successfully convinced him, then you sure are to blame when he gets addicted. But if you simply enlighten the person, you gave the person the freedom to choose. You're never to blame.

It's a win-win situation for both since you were able to help him know gambling but at the same time, you were able to give them a choice that's only made by their thoughts alone.

Very true! But the fact is that so many people who gamble today already know the pros and cons, they know the effect it has on humans in the past and the effect it will keep having, but because they have chosen to be greedy, have the wrong mentality, and just after the chance of getting rich quickly without having to work for it because they heard some have, they tend to discard the cons and then focus only on the pros.

It is still a decision that balls down to each individual and even though I understand it is reasonable to always let people understand what they stand to lose and gain at the same time, still, it is a decision that most times, even without telling them, they would have taken anyway. Give people water to swim or hot charcoal to sleep on, trust me, some people would rather choose the one that hurts the most.
