Most of the posts I have come across here in the gambling section has always centered on negativity about gambling. If it's not about gambling making someone go broke, it will be about one negativity or the other. Sometimes reading the comments in those posts scares me, because of how some people describe their horrifying gambling experiences. This made me to come up with this post to ask this important question; Is gambling really that bad? Are there no good effects of gambling on people? Gambling can't just be all bad all the time. Well if you think it's all bad, why are you still gambling?
If there are no positive impacts, why is gambling freely permitted in some countries, and why do people enjoy gambling? This simple question might answer some of your confusion.
What happens in many people's experiences with gambling is that they can't manage themselves. I've experienced this, but I don't blame the gambler, but myself (think about why he had a bad experience with gambling). Your way of thinking needs to be slightly adjusted.
