Dump it!!!
Realistically, I don't think many people can achieve their financial goals strictly through gambling, unless they've got particularly weak goals or if they play super high jackpot games, like the EuroMillions or Powerball.

Nonetheless, it's quite possible to achieve some smaller goals with gambling, and then use those funds to develop business ideas that can get to the true goal.

Alternatively, it can be done on games like poker, but very few have achieved it.

For people who does not have enough income to live a comfortable life, we try to find ways to end the struggle, we take big risk to gain big rewards so if we will be successful, we don't need to work anymore and just enjoy the rest of our life doing the things that we can't do due to lack of money.

are you one of the people who dream like this?
I do not dream of anything like that because I know it is impossible for me, you cannot beat any game in which the casino has an edge over you consistently and make money with it, the only games in which you could do something like that are those in which skill is involved and one of the perfect examples of this is poker, but even then most of the time it will be impossible for most players to make a living out of their poker profits so you should give up such a dream because it is simply impossible to make it a reality.

The point I guess is if a person does have a dream because it counts.  Not having a dream of achieving financial goal I guess its the worse. It doesn't matter if it won't be possible but just having a dream.  Cheesy   

Like the rest of us, I'm not taking that path of uncertainty.  I have just going to keep working with my day job and keep hold my coins for now. Maybe one day I will also be building my own BTC businesses. If 1 satoshi will be equivalent to $1.

Everyone is dreaming like this one, Yes I want to have a comfortable life but If I risk more my life would be harder than it will be, So be responsible it is very risky. Only few won big hits in gambling so many gamblers lose every day you might be one of them. Instead of betting it try saving it in your savings account.

but if you don't have much money then the chance of winning the jackpot or winning big amount would be very low.

I agree in this part, because having a huge fund in gambling also means you could try as much as you can until you hit the jackpot or whatever amount of money you're trying to win, and if you have small budget on it, most of the time you'll only be frustrated because you got easily lost and you have to wait 'till you have some money again to use it in gambling. But, sometimes, people with small budgets sometimes got lucky in gambling.

back to the people who did it, I prefer gambling but I won't depend much on it here. just to find satisfaction, because for me gambling is a place of entertainment that sometimes provides benefits.
This is my version, ignore it if you don't agree.

we take big risk to gain big rewards so if we will be successful, we don't need to work anymore and just enjoy the rest of our life doing the things that we can't do due to lack of money.

I don't think being successful means having lots of money, it really depends on any individual (but I guess that's just one thing). If you don't work anymore, then how in blazes would you keep up on your spending aka doing the things that we can't do.... Disclaimer, working is not the same as having a job, there's a difference.

I think your ideals will remain as ideals if you don't change that mentality of yours.

And I would hit you a reality check here. If you would ever win a really huge amount of money from gambling--a fortune. And then sticking to your ideals of "not working anymore and just do things you want", that fortune will quickly be drained into the sink. A sink of reality, that idea of yours is very naive.

actually more people already accept thier faith . they are already contented on what they currently have and not looking anymore for more , they dont take risk in other words  .  some take risk to make thier life more decent but not mostly in a verry risky way like gambling rather they do less risky things like setting up a business  , etc  . few take it to gambling in the hopes of earning fast huge income  but if ever i won big on gambling or atleast get a good life thru working for years  , i still wont stop working  .

i must admit that i did,way back when i was still in field works?i am buying Lottery ticket to take a chance changing my family life to Get richer instantly and i am not hypocrite to accept that reality.

there is also a chance that i am playing in Casino with Slot machine and imagining that i won a jackpot,and how can i gather those all tokens coming out the machine like in the Movie.

life is too short to not look for good things though i am not a total gambler but at point i am trying my chances.
It isnt bad to try it out as long we do know on what our limitations when it comes to funds.As long we dont compromise things
then its just fine to have these hopes or wishes.It isnt surprising for each of us do have that kind of goal or wish on life.
Who would be the one who doesnt like to be get rich? Of course when we do play then those things in mind would be there
where hitting up jackpots and make ourselves rich if ever we do hit that sweet spot.

I agree, you have to build more ways when it comes on earning money,
For the average joe, there are very few methods to earn money. For the ones in high paying jobs they dont need to think of the same but again the wiser folks actually put in investments in different sectors to keep their money growing.

it is not bad to take risk in playing gambling but it is bad when you exert all of your funds on it,
Of course there is nothing wrong because right or wrong is your own conscience. But one needs to ask themselves if what they are doing is correct or not morally. If it is legal in your place to gamble then do so by all means. But do not forget that the casinos flourish because people play there. It is thus important to keep your bankroll being spent there under control.
Yes right and wrong is all in our own hands we cannot  blame anyone but we should try to use gambling if we consider it good for us no need to listen anyone in this regard. People may tall you negative Things about it but you should only do what your minds consider good for you. Gambling for me is right thing it’s your own choice either you want or not.

No, If I have financial problems I don't gamble just to earn money. When gambling I am not very lucky and I would mostly lose so in my opinion gambling is not the most suitable way to fix the problem but it is possible if you are lucky enough since when you gamble you have a chance to win big amount but if you don't have much money then the chance of winning the jackpot or winning big amount would be very low.

It is possible if one is lucky? No no, it should not be the way earning money is to be made. If you need money and you are feeling lucky, would you just go to the casino and use whatever small or limited amount you have to let it grow there? That is not a wise decision. Luck is actually beyond our capacity to determine. We cannot just feel it. We have to play and spend money in order to know. What if we are unlucky on that day despite our lucky feeling? So instead of having a small amount, we will end up with nothing.
Yes some people do not know that how much they are lucky and what will be their luck on a particular bet but there are some people who are lucky by nature and they win major number of bets and if lose then only some of them but still we cannot be sure that it will give us enough money as still anything can be happen. While if the gambler is on sports betting then he will not care if he is lucky or not but his experience with sports will make him decide that if he will win or not and in sports betting I saw the expert gamblers always win.,

It's not bad to dream high, but do you know dreaming that high will make you fall literally? Why not consider gambling a place for sideline and for fun only? Though I must admit, I knew few people who do not have stable job and only dobgambling full time but hey, gambling will still be gambling. You can still dream big and chase that dream even not in gambling world, right?

Dreaming and real life expectations are two different things, we can dream it's good to dream, but when it comes to expectations in life we need to know what we have, what we know and what skills we have, and what we do with all that. In gambling, it's the same, dreaming big it's ok, but reality is that everything depends on your bankroll, your knowledge about gambling games, your skills and in the end on your choice of the game you plan to play. You can't gamble with couple dollars and expect millions from that, except if you like to play lotto and you have luck to win!

Financial freedom also isn't as difficult to achieve as many people think; it might take some sacrifices here and there to play the long run, but it will work out in the end if you plan correctly.
I hope I can do that, it's not easy to say but it's really hard to do, at least for majority of gambler who tried to make a living in gambling.
Definitely not easy, otherwise people are already leaving their job to focus full time on gambling.
Gambling is a kind of job where people who are successful says "easy money", but for those who are not, they'll keep spending helping this industry grow.

there are winners and losers in gambling, but majority are losers, that's the reality we cannot deny.

Bitcoin FTW!
I would much rather achieve success through work and having pride in seeing what I do actually working than achieving it purely through luck; it's just so satisfying to see the fruits of your labor. I buy lottery tickets every now and then like many people, but realistically I'm not risking an amount of money extremely significant to me because I know how low the odds are for me to win anything meaningful, much less life-changing.
