This question is always on my mind since then until now. I want to know the opinion of everyone here on this platform. I know that we have all different perception about gambling, so I respect what will be your point of view about that.

But to share my opinion, I consider gambling as a threat to gamblers. Yes, there are a lot of people who find happiness in gambling if and only if they can control their selves from this, but no matter how fun can gambling gives to you, the problem is still there, the addiction on it is always there, it grows day by day. There are so many disadvantages of being so addicted in gambling, one of which is forgetting your priority, spending your time to your family and your friend, you won't be able to more productive things than losing money, to the point that even you already lose and don't have enough money to play, you will make ways, there are times that you will ask a request to your friend to give you money as debt. You should be the one who controls the gamble and don't let the gamble control you.

Sometimes i feel gambling is fun but only if i am winning my bets but surely gambling is not a threat. If you think it is threat that why you play it ? You play gambling intentionally and with your own will , so it is not a threat. A threat is something which is accidental in nature and not in control.

We have the same feeling, I am also a person who play gambling because I want to win the game, but whenever I lose the game I feel so sad, and because of that feeling, I consider myself that the only reason why I am gamble is because of earning and not fun because I can find fun in many other things such as my friends, family, partner in life.

But on the other side, I can say that gambling is a threat. Why? Because there are a lot of gamblers in this virtual and real-world who are already addicted to it, they forget to prioritize things or to do something more productive than playing in the casino. Some gamblers, when they are losing the game, they keep on betting and hoping that they can get back the money that has failed, then the worst thing on that is gamblers might get a significant debt to others and may lose everything they have.

On that reason, I can say that it can be a threat for a person who is so addicted to gambling, in a way that they cannot already control themselves from gambling.
