Re: Is gambling bad to the society?

Yes, we must not spend much money and only use the money we can afford to lose. That will prevent us from the big lose while we can enjoy gambling as an entertainment.

I agree with your statement that we should see casino as a place for entertainment. However, if we compere casino with some other services to entertain people, that we will see, that other options. for example, video games, bowling, shooting contests, they all give you something in return for your money. You actually have an opportunity to spend some sufficient time having fun or purchasing something you will own in the end.

But the thing with casino is that you will have fun, no doubts, but you will be satisfied only your money multiplies. If you lose, you will probably regret playing those games or you will feel sorry for your loss. Those emotions are much more negative, then losing in a video game, for example. And when we have to deal with such strong bad feelings, it is hard to say that they are part of an entertaining process.

Of course losses are an integral part of the entertainment process. The hope of winning and winning itself bring us positive emotions, but as we all know gambling is not possible without losing because it is a zero sum game. That is why I believe that losing, although it brings negative emotions, it is also part of the entertainment process.

Besides, winning in a video game does not bring as much vivid emotions as winning in a gambling game. Because in a video game you risk only your time.

experienced or beginner, when a gambler has control over himself and what he bets, then most likely he has become a good gambler. It is difficult to see a beginner gambler with good control and discipline in the game. But not all beginners play in a hurry and are ambitious to win bigger. Gamblers must know when to continue the game and when to stop the game. This is simple but certainly difficult for every gambler because more gamblers think about big wins and jackpots.

Even skilled gamblers also find it difficult to overcome emotions in certain betting sessions because they are ambitious to win bets, if they gamble outside the rules and they are not disciplined in implementing the rules of budget usage limits, then greed can control the mind to continue gambling without budget limits and they gamble without thinking about the consequences of high risk.

However, doubling money and stopping gambling is included in the third rule point, after gambling rules with budget and time limits, gambling with an understanding of risk management from losses. Gamblers must follow the rules in gambling, both experienced gamblers and skilled gamblers and if they consistently follow gambling according to the rules, they will be able to handle emotional control to avoid greed and gambling addiction.

Emotions is something which is really that hard to control and this is why its really that important that you should really know on what you should gonna do on the time or moment that you do find yourself having that kind of engagement with gambling because there would really be those times or moment that you would really be that become impulsive on the time that you do gamble on which this is something which is part of a human being on which its normal to have this kind of reactions. This is why it would really be that important that you should really that know at least on what are the things that you would gonna do because on the moment that you would be letting yourself get that influenced by your emotions and having no good control of it, then you are really that prone into tons of bad decision making and this is something that you should avoided in the first place.
