How old are you now OP? I ask because your friend must be old already for him to be called as a pensioner and then his children are already full grown which can also give him some money. He can use this as a reason as well and I think this sounds better or more appropriate than the reason he gave there.
Gambling is unreliable and what if his relatives and friends need money now? So, saving money is a better idea than to gamble. He can also ran a lending business to earn a profit. If you ask me if I'm generous, yes I am and I like to give help even if I don't win in gambling but as long as I have an extra money. Most of the times, I never thought of a good karma but I only feel great when I do this.
Topic: Are you a generous gamblers (Read 1557 times)
I like his philosophy and philanthrophy on gambling. It is a known universal law that if you do good and are generous then other good and generosity will come your way. I think his way is definitely more often than not "a road less traveled" greed is the ultimate downfall of a gambling addiction,but your friend seemed to have bested the devil on this one! I hope that he will keep winning so he can continue being generous. The day that generosity stops though may be the day he stops winning.
It would be interesting if that person actually carried out such experiment and started to save all the money of his winnings to himself, and see if he indeed stops winning money from his sessions. To me, all of this is matter of coincidence, though I am not completely closed to the idea of him being helped out by his karma or something we cannot completely understand as human beings.
The thing is, I believe it is very difficult to find a generous gambler nowadays, it is easier to find business-people willing to practice philanthropy than gamblers, because of how difficult is for gamblers to get money out their sessions, as soon as they get money you will continue to gamble and lose it again or they will withdraw it to get some of the expenses covered, the first thing which comes to mind to a gambler is not giving away part of their earned money.
Regardless where the money comes from, if one can help, it is good to do it. It is one of the major lessons of most religions out there, those who give to the needy and helpless will be rewarded in some way.
This means I agree with your idea that winning is always about "chance" that comes when you're really lucky. It would be great if such wins were repeated and long-lasting, but I think it's very unlikely, maybe even only 0.1%. So I think the mindset of expecting good karma from gambling by always expecting to win is too dangerous because it can cause excessive confidence in yourself which of course in the end you can act more rashly. For me, I believe more in good karma when you are generous by sharing some of the winnings that come from others, from what I have experienced I often give some of the winnings to my gambling partner and when I need him he is always there, and also when he gets the winnings he also always comes to me and gives some of his winnings, it's like exchanging generosity and it's the wrong mindset if you expect good karma from gambling results, casinos don't care about whatever you do.
Well, in these types of things I could say that whenever it is about doing something so that it can benefit others, well for me it is good , it is something that if it helps someone I think it is very good, personally I have always Said something, if a person shares something of what they have, then they will always have things for others and will never lack Anything , when they win at the game it is another matter, if the person wants to share some of their winnings then that is already What he thinks and what he can give, it seems to me to be a good Gesture, because he who helps others always receives blessings back, we don't know if Someone is going through a bad situation and repeats this because the person helps Himself , As for the people who will do this, I am sure that they are not millionaires or rich, they are normal People because I have Always believed that things with rich people are not shared, on the contrary , in general they are very selfish people and they do not like Help no one, of course not Everything , but the vast majority yes.
In this aspect we can see and reassign things as they should be, for example if someone distributes some of their profits it is not bad, it is not that they want to help whoever it is, it is that they are supporting bad habits or feeding the lazy, it is not It cannot be misunderstood, it is just that it is very difficult to find people in the world who are like that, who like to share their things, their money, it is something that is rarely seen, therefore in this order of ideas we always go Let's see that it is very strange, if all the things were like this, I think we would have a much better world, so given these things it is possible to determine that things Could be Better in a Casino , those who Distribute their profits, well it is something that they They made their decision, they are respected and supported, there is no other way, they are the owners of their money and they will know what they can get into and what they can't, for that Reason we should always be people Who We must act in a good way.

I am not a generous gambler and I can never become one. If I lose the money that I am using to gamble, no one will help me. So why should I win and think of my neighbors or friends? I can not do that. In fact, I bet with little amount of money and if I win I win little amount of money that is not even enough for me not to talk of it to be enough for my friends and people around me. Not that I am stingy but I am not a generous gambler.
I pinned this,and it's true why will one be a generous gambler when he finally hits losses and problems who will come to my aid .
I was once a generous gambler but certain things changed me, because they said once bitten twice shy.whenever I gamble and win I share my earnings with family and friends a lot times but I came to understand that when I needed help they don't come through for me
Sometimes it's just my immediate family that look out for me but nevertheless I still be that generous but one-day I had a rethink about everything and made a new decisions not to share my earnings anymore to people that don't worth it,so this was how I learnt not to be too generous as regarding earnings from gambling.
It's better to prioritize family over other people because after all you need family. It's hard and happy with them at any time, so it's better to be generous to your family if you know your friends disappear when you need them and remember that you are very kind to them and even think about them when you need them winning at gambling. While achieving victory is not an easy matter and you will probably rarely experience it, think about your own pleasure and that of your family, act normally in front of your friends even though you have just won, that is if you no longer want to share it with them.
I just met a friend while playing in a lottery called Keno. He is a good gambler and sometimes hits jackpots. As a pensioner with grown children, he is a heavy bettor. I noticed that he is a generous gambler. He uses half of his winnings to treat friends, neighbors, and relatives every time he wins. He does this to invite good karma and since he acknowledges his gambling addiction, people who know him don't question him.
One of his friends asked him why he kept betting instead of saving so he would have something when he needed it.
His answer was straightforward,
Quote
'I am betting so when I win I can share half of my winnings with my friends and relatives who need money like you.
' I was surprised by his answer. His friends felt guilty for asking him. Some gamblers are that generous to avoid questions about their gambling activities and to continue gambling.How about you? Are you generous and if so, why are you generous?
In my case, I am a little generous because winning is a blessing that should be shared. However, I will not make people feel guilty when I give an amount from my blessing.
- It means that the person you are talking about or referring to is not a bad person. There's nothing wrong with what he's doing; maybe that's one of his characters. And that's literally beautiful because he shares a little bit of what he won playing gambling.
I don't think it's important to say whether we are generous or not; let's just let other people say it about us. This is just my opinion. Because the real sharing of the things you have is to make them spring inside us without expecting anything in return.

but it all comes back to each person's mindset because everyone has different thoughts and for me personally, every time I win from gambling, it will at least give to other people in need, even if the amount is small, but for me it is a prayer of good luck that I will get in later on, it seems like a little help to other people, even though the money is obtained from gambling, but there is no harm in helping other people.
remember, every $1 you give to others will give you the best wishes.
Indeed, every gambler has their own views on this matter and if you have done good to other people when you win at gambling, in my opinion that is very good because you realize that if even the smallest assistance, for example $1 dollar, is distributed to people in need, it is not Immediately, you already have generous behavior and are not arrogant about the victory you have achieved.
Thinking about personal benefits very little but thinking about their own reputation perhaps more, it is clear that gamblers show generosity only to defend their dignity and their unbowedness to the results, as generous as a heavy stone worn on each person, not accepting the fact that we are inferior to others and lacking conditions is just being more cruel to ourselves. The wise wolves are only stingy and meticulous, they are not generous or gamble freely, boasting seems to attract too much attention and attention from others forces us to live a personality that others want
If you conclude from your opinion above that a gambler is generous to other people when he wins in order to maintain his good name and self-esteem, in my opinion that is a wrong perception because being generous is sincere and sincere. If we don't have these two things, it's better not to force ourselves to be generous. heart towards others.

It is really that true that this had been turned out to be a typical approach by people who do have that kind of actions on the time that they are really that on winning condition or situation.
You would really be having that boost up of emotions that you would really be loving on having that kind of giving mood to those people who are around.
It would be on your choice on what are the actions you would be taking though.
even if it means that its a token of appreciation specially into those staffs or other people around but still i would rather make use of those amounts for me to make some further bets. Sounds selfish?
Well thats how things supposed to be and if you arent that mindful then you could give out some amounts but since tips are just that small amounts then it wont hurt that much but well it is really just that a matter of self preference because not all would really be a giver.
Some people do even believe that on the time that they would really be giving out those tips they do believe that it could increase out their luck on the time that they do play
on which it is really just that a thinking that most gamblers might have but it doesnt actually works that way nor really that effective. This is why it would really be always
best that you should really be realistic on the things on what you are dealing with.

Generosity is from the mind and when the mind is free then you give to people and when people are free with you, you give them without them asking for it. Though it is not all gamblers that have that free mindset to give. Greediness and stinginess are some of the factors that making people not to give others. Those who are not selfish give others and they generous. I am a very good example of generosity. But there are some people in the gambling arena that if you give them even big amount they are not satisfied. And that make some generous gamblers to be stingy with their money.
It is good to give but it will not necessarily be whenever I win. I give because I want to give. After all, there are a lot of people who don't know that I gamble so they don't even know if the money is coming from gambling or not. I saw a post about how maybe some people will collect or reject the money from gambling. The problem with giving people the money you won from gambling is that, the same people will be the ones to condemn you, so that is one thing I hate if you want to give. Just give out of free will, if not, people do not deserve your money. If you hear some condemnation, that is for people who gamble openly.Everyone is generous but it will go to those who deserve it.

I don't know but I feel like some winnings in gamble actually amplifies the gambler character because so many people are of the mentality that money won from gambling is actually free money and they don't reason twice before giving or using the money. I don't know if the feeling is mutual for every other person but am quite certain it is for me and sometimes I don't see the money I won from gambling as something that's needs special treatment but I can tell you not all gamblers have the same mentality.
Most people will just keep on playing with their winning amount and lose it in gambling. What's the use of such wins if we do not be able to spend it other than gambliing 
Can't blame those gamblers since luck is already there. They are just maximizing the advantage they are supposed to get by continuing. However, the right timing to take a break is crucial and most of the time, after winning a big amount, the gambler ends their session with no amount left.
Back to the topic, I do think that those gamblers who always share their winnings are already generous even before the time they engage in their gambling activity habit. That being said, we can say that these types of gamblers are naturally kind and known by most people around them as a person who always lends a hand.
I do hope that these gamblers won't experience being trapped in the havoc of gambling as that might change their attitude towards people.

I wouldn't call it being generous or something. Don't get me wrong here. I called it "human nature".
The reason I say that is because, that is already common here in our society that when someone has extra money, not just thru winning in gambling but for other reasons as well. It's a common trait and behavior here to share extra money with friends and families.
In gambling-related winnings, you can expect most people here to share their blessings even if the winning amount they have got is not that decent.
It's not mandatory to share but become a common practice here since early generations.
I do somewhat agree into this thing on which it do really ends up or looks like some sort of typical gesture on the time that you are really that having those winnings on which you would really be The reason I say that is because, that is already common here in our society that when someone has extra money, not just thru winning in gambling but for other reasons as well.

having that kind of behavior on where you would really be giving something neither into the dealer or with your co fellow gamblers around. Its not that talking about being generous but it is
really something that i can consider to be a gesture to be done by someone.This is why it would really be just that fine since you arent that forced to do so.
Its a self will kind of decision whenever you are really that decided to give or not.
It would really be your choice and since you arent that forced on doing so then it would really be just that fine on having that kind of approach on things. There are really
just those people who are really that putting emphasis whether you should really be giving back something or not.

I mean for sure sometimes, If I win a huge amount in a bet I mostly treat my friends as well, it just feels good to do it most of the time, especially with your friends knowing that you win a huge amount.
But it wasn't for sure the case most of the time, because there was some part of it that you needed to save at least because it is just profit for sure, I mean personally if I win a huge amount of gambling I usually just buy something that I really wanted to buy for a long time, basically, I become an impulsive buyer every time I win huge just to feel better, In my mind I did win that money really easily so it's gonna be easy as well to spend it at least on something that is going to make me happy. Compared to something like Bitcoin or cryptocurrency investment that I've been holding for a long time it's going to be difficult for me to spend it on something, I'll probably go to spend it on something like an asset probably real estate not just on some wants.
There are also some chances that you become a generous gambler because you just feel alone, for most people that don't really have some kind of real friends they just want all the love and end up treating a lot of their friends. I remember a Bitcoin hacker who is already a Billionaire his just living alone mostly treated his friends go to a bar and everything he just felt so lonely and wanted someone to love him so he ended up treating and giving money to his friends most of the time, in the end his friend stole his Bitcoin and cash on his house, ends up getting discovered by FBI as a Bitcoin hacker related to silk road.

I'm proud to say that I am. If I win big, I usually spend it either on things or experience. Since I don't really focus on gambling a lot like treating it as a job, then a win is already like a bonus for me. There was this one time that I won from a huge parlay, I cashed out a decent amount and spend it directly to buy my daughter her favorite phone, she was happy and I'm happy as well. Not only for my family, I also treat my friends going outside for a drink, at the end of the day, I'll just think that it's instant money and it's worth to spend it since winning does not come often.
That's really nice of you to spend your winnings on your family and enjoy with the money. Most people will just keep on playing with their winning amount and lose it in gambling. What's the use of such wins if we do not be able to spend it other than gambliing
However by "Being generous" means that you are generous to give some amount of winning to someone needy or who is poor and help someone from the winning amount. Those who do this, are really generous people however most people will just say that they are in overall loss, so how they can help the poor ones? Anyways, it's one wish if he wants to help the people or just focus on his development and make oneself life a better place to live.
I am not a generous gambler and I can never become one. If I lose the money that I am using to gamble, no one will help me. So why should I win and think of my neighbors or friends? I can not do that. In fact, I bet with little amount of money and if I win I win little amount of money that is not even enough for me not to talk of it to be enough for my friends and people around me. Not that I am stingy but I am not a generous gambler.
