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?
There are many bad effects because of the gambler itself. Gambling without discipline resulting to addiction, just happened because the specific gambler didn't discipline himself. It's not because gambling is bad, more on the gambler don't have self control and not aware of the consequences of his action.
Gambling has a good side depending on what kind of gambler you are. Because you can learn to be patient (that there's no easy money)and control your emotion. It is risky that will test your patience, how you handle your emotions to not become greedy. Some gamblers are able to earn through gambling so that's one of its advantage however it's not guaranteed.
