To avoid the bad effects mentioned in the OP
Bad Effects:
*Big loss
*Increased on your debt
*Loss jobs
*Depression/Stressed
*Broken Family/Failed on relationship
*Insufficient Funds
gamblers can do the following:
*Big lossYou will never experience a big loss if you play responsibly, which means risking only amounts you can easily afford to lose.
*Increased on your debtTo avoid this you should never ever borrow money for gambling, even $5, it is simply unacceptable.
*Loss jobsThis happens when a gambler is fully addicted and can't think of anything but gambling. He/she can't concentrate anymore on doing things which are necessary for surviving while thinking that gambling can solve all the problems. To avoid this situation, one have to understand that the "possibility" of living solely from gambling is an illusion which was shattered many times by different wise people and by gamblers themselves. you just have to google it.
*Depression/StressedOf course constant losing leads to depression, but gambling is gambling, you can't lose always, sometimes you win. But to be able to play in those times, you shouldn't lose everything during the days of bad luck and that's why you shouldn't risk big amounts ever. By following this way you will never win a lot, but you will never be depressed either.
*Broken Family/Failed on relationshipIn some cases this happens even when money isn't a problem. Don't spend more time on gambling than on your loved ones. It is easy to do when you are not regarding gambling as a job which can bring money to you and to your loved ones. If you are regarding gambling as an entertainment, it doesn't take a lot of brains to understand that it is unethical and ugly to constantly entertain yourself while paying little attention to others around you.
I believe that every situation has its positive and negative effects but most of the time in the field of gambling we dont face the real fact that it has a positive effects. If we heard the word gambling first thing pop up in our head are all negatives.
Like it has no guarantee if you make it as your source of income. The probability in winning in this kind of game is lesser than other thing. We can loss everything as we put all the money we have in gambling.
If you become addicted to it, you might forgot all your priority in life, same as you neglect the presence of your family, you forgot to give them time that leads to broken family.
