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?

All this negativity probably because everyone at least has experienced a bad journey while gambling, either from an addiction or a very painful loss. Therefore, you will always find more negative topics and stories about gambling, even that it is a fun activity, each one of us should learn how to use it and avoid mistakes of others.
You also can find topics where people are hitting good wins and enjoying their sessions in a healthy way without causing themselves harm.

There are plenty of good sides in gambling, let’s take for example the period of Coronavirus pandemic, for some people gambling was very helpful to fight that depression where all if people are stuck at home most of the time, and this activity in a great source of entertainment.

Both addiction and major losses often lead people to go broke, become emotionally unstable, and waste valuable time. I've never met anyone who could control their gambling addiction ruining their own life because they know how to play the game and how to manage their own money.
