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?
This your point is quite reasonable. Gambling wouldn't be said to be all bad automatically because it can provide entertainment, interaction socially and moments of excitement or making profit when engaded in responsibly. What seem like the problem is when it begins to cross into addiction or cause harm, being the reasons why lots of people focus on posting about its negativity. Like you rightly said: majority of people wouldn't involve in doing it, if all about it were purely bad. The major difference depends on its management—gambling can be recreational in one aspect while unmonitored gambling will destroy lives even lead to lose of property.
