This person started a thread about benefits of gambling:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047546.0btw in English you say "benefits
from of gambling", not from.
I would like to open a thread about the opposite.
Here are some disadvantages that come to my mind when gambling is involved, I did not copy-paste any text from anywhere, this is purely my own thoughts about it:
1) Gambling brings you loneliness, or makes you feel alone or want to be alone, it can isolate you from society or from other important events in your life.
2) It can suck your energy or your happiness, it can get inside your head and won't leave you alone until you gamble again.
3) Not to mention it can can destroy you financially, you can lose a lot of money in a matter of seconds/minutes/hours/days. Some stories show how people lost over millions of dollars in a matter of hours or days.
4) Gambling can also destroy you individually, not only financially, you can lose your family, your job, your friends or relatives.
All in all gambling is a losing proposition, these drawbacks weigh much more than any possible benefits you can ever come up with when it comes to gambling.
If gambling is being carried irresponsibly than there are huge chances to undergo the four major disadvantages you mentioned. Gambling not only affects us financially but also it affects our mental health which can be fatel. A lot of gamblers who are deeply enrolled into gambling have their normal daily routine set accordingly. They start their day with gambling and end it with the same. I've personally seen a lot of gamblers who lost almost everything but yet weren't out of gambling. Can we call this a addiction?
