Topic: Are you a generous gamblers - page 4. (Read 1554 times)

Yes, that's because society only sees that when someone succeeds in achieving material things, they will be seen as higher than others, even though that's not the case. Many people who succeed in achieving success often hide their success from others and choose to act like ordinary people. In this way, they can make friends with anyone, including choosing people who can really be close to them.

People tend to be greedy regarding material achievements because human nature is that they still want to get more when they succeed in getting something. They don't realize they have achieved a lot but still want more. If they can use it as inspiration or motivate others to achieve success, they might be able to teach others to achieve it, too. This is for things not related to gambling. But when it comes to gambling, people will be inspired by the wins obtained by other people so they will continue to try gambling until they can get the win they want.

That's why they have to be able to use gambling correctly so that it doesn't cause any problems. Many people are so involved in gambling that they don't know when to leave gambling. Gambling can tempt them until they forget what they must do.

I think it is better to hide your winnings and stay close. This will not in anyway stop you from being generous. Give to those who sincerely need the money but don't make it too obvious that you've got lots of cash on you and it's from gambling. Many people out there are materialistic, including those we call friends. They will stick around to tap from your wealth without considering what source the money came from, provided they can have a share of it.

No good friend will see another friend who is addicted to gambling and still encourage him to gamble more because they are benefiting from him. Its good the addicted gambler is always lucky to make big wins, if the reverse was the case, he won't be getting much friends. Friends are supposed to distract him from gambling and not to encourage him to gamble more.

When it comes to gambling then there's always that negative point of view on which it do came from the society or into religious aspects on which it isnt really that new anymore.It would really be just that depending on a certain individual whether they would really be continuing on trying out to make deal with it or they would really be just simply avoiding it because of those reasons.
In talking about being generous then this would really be that depending on a certain type of person on which we do know that not all would really be that generous into their gambling activity
on which most people would really be greedy or really just that right that they will really be the ones who would really be cherishing out their wins rather than
on tending to share up with other people. Only a few would be considering those acts.

It is true that gambling does not directly depend on luck, but you should know that all gambling is ultimately determined by luck and there are also gambling games that completely rely on luck and do not require skills let alone gambling strategies, for example slot games because they are not really requires any skill just by pressing the spin button then waiting for luck to come to him to get a win or jackpot. I'm sure you also know that not all gambling games require skill because many gamblers don't have skill, but everyone can play games like slots.

Honestly, I'm not really interested in slot gambling because hoping for luck is boring, that's why I always look for gambling like sports betting which requires skill as well as luck, so it all depends on the gambling game you choose, that's why I don't agree with you that gambling requires more skill, even though there are gambling games that really don't require skill, but people from all walks of life and even ages can play them easily, namely slot games.

I can't say for sure how much of a genius gambler I am but I have complete control over gambling and I don't take much risk when gambling. You can consider me a responsible gambler. 
I mostly gamble on different betting sites so of course I try to use my knowledge and skills there. I make the right decisions most of the time by using my knowledge skills and my gambling profit is high with this strategy. Since there are different sports every day, I always focus on those sports and among these sports, I try to bet on the sports that I have a higher chance of winning. This shows that my chances of winning are higher than losing. 

Many people say that gambling is directly dependent on luck but if he gambles with my strategy then I would say that gambling is not directly dependent on luck but on own skill.

Your views on friendship and gambling winnings mirror cultural issues. You've found a pattern: people seek success for themselves. Human nature and society fault. We must ask why society values material achievement so heavily.

Your solution - hide your winnings and stay close - is practical but raises questions. Why does success attract greed? Why not inspiration or motivation? The problem is our collective view of riches and achievement, not who knows about your winnings.

Gambling carries danger. It requires caution and knowledge. Remember that its about understanding the chances, knowing when to walk away, and how it affects you and others. Stay wise and safe.

That's what he means because around us there are lots of people or friends like that so we have to be careful and choose friends who are really friends and they won't do things like that. I have often seen friends like that where they won't be too close to us but when we have something, they try to approach us with aims and objectives that we don't even know about. I don't like friends like that because we are really looking for a real friend who doesn't see what we have.

Just let people be like that because their character cannot be changed. Moreover, they will never feel that they shouldn't be like that. They should be able to show how to make good friends so that many people can accept them and many people will like them. So in this case, if we get a big win, we can hide it from them and act normal so that they don't come to us with certain aims and objectives. We can just invite close friends to join in the celebration, especially since these close friends are the ones who always accompany us at all times and share everything with each other. By hiding the big winnings, we can be free from the curiosity of people who want to know where we got a lot of money so that they will not follow us to gamble. We have to be careful if we want to share our winnings at gambling so that not everyone will know about the big wins we get at gambling.

I actually discuss this on another thread and it related to religion, but Im gonna write again. In my religion gambling is prohibited and if you decided to play all the money that you earn is not good for you so you need to donate all your winning money into someone who need.

But in my case sometimes I donate it to other sometimes to my friend and sometimes I just go all in and lost all of it.

It's all a choice and if you really mind sharing some of your winnings with others especially some of your friends then don't do it and of course as you said it's better to give some of the winnings to a family member whether it's a brother, sister or other relative, because after all there is no compulsion for someone who managed to get a win to share some of his winnings with others, it's all your right and all decisions are yours.

Especially if you have experienced a situation where you often or have helped one of your friends but when you are in a situation that really needs then they disappear and as you said they prefer to cut off friendship with you, and this is a lesson for you or whoever it is and should henceforth if you do manage to get a win then it's better to enjoy yourself or give some to one of your family because only they look more concerned because they have a blood relationship with you.

Talking about generous gamblers I remember about my grandmother. She loved playing slots, and always she won, she shared a portion of the earned prize with the casino's employee who assisted her, besides her family and gifted service providers in general during special occasions, such as Christmas and Easter seasons. She has been always a very generous person in life, and I like to believe this trait of her has only brought good karma, as you say, for her in counterpart.

Actually, the way she played and had gambling in her life is one of the main reasons why I don't see gambling in a negative way, unlike many people around are used to see: as something shameful, forbidden, negative and destructive. It's a fact our personal experiences mold our conceptions about determined activities, and I'm thankful I had a positive one regards gambling, so I can see the positive and negative sides of it, without being biased only by negative aspects.

I believe that people who gamble with the aim of having fun then most likely they will not find it difficult to share their winnings with others or one of their friends, because they don't take gambling too seriously and don't focus too much on winning so this makes it quite easy for them to share some of their winnings with others. On the other hand, it cannot be denied that there may be people who always share their winnings even though they basically have poor finances in their lives and with this I think it depends on a person, if indeed they are one of those people who are very generous to others then sharing part of their winnings is very possible for them to do even though on the other hand they have a poor background.

On the other hand yes I quite agree with you that sharing gambling winnings is like a tradition among gamblers, and for me this sharing habit is quite helpful, usually I always share my winnings with one of my true friends and when at some time he managed to get a win then usually he also always contacted me and shared some of his winnings with me whether it was for my gambling capital or to enjoy together with a bottle of beer.

Nah, there are people who are only generous when they win in gambling. IMO, they are the people who just gamble for fun and doesn't really have a plan to start with a serious bankroll. When you have a job and you are just earning enough for yourself or your family, of course you will not be generous as it would be stupid to share when you are even struggling yourself. However, in gambling, it's quite different, it's a kind of tradition for some that when they win they like to share the money and they would spend their winnings on whatever they like, mostly on vices as it's not part of their regular income.

I'm also surprised that your friend could share a half of the prizes to you and friends. No doubt that he is a very kind person, I think it is his nature that he is happy to share with friends and relatives. It is nothing to do with gambling, but it is related to personal nature. If you are a kind person, you will be always easy to share your happiness. But if you are stingy, you will be never happy to share the prizes even if it is just a small amount of money.

Anyway, I think your other friends will follow him. They will feel shame if they are always treated by him. However, this is a good thing, you are lucky that you have a very generous friend.

I also will share some of the prizes whenever I win the prizes. But I won't share a half of the prizes, it may be around 20% of the prizes. I think we are almost the same, we are generous but we aren't as generous as your friend. It is true that we need to be generous because our close people deserve to have the happiness as well.

First, you  have money, whether from gambling or work. No one has the right to interfere in your business if you want to give and help others, family, relatives and friends. However, generosity is a gift from God. A generous person gives and does not expect anything from you even if he does not have it. Big thing .
Generosity is a good trait and everyone should have it. If you have enough money, help those in need, as there are always those who are less than you. Helping those who need provides unparalleled psychological comfort.

and therefore i choose no. because i am not an angel who can be generous to others by sharing my gambling rewards with them. if i want to choose to be generous to them, i will use money from my salary or my savings to them, and that is not to friends, but rather to my siblings or parents, or my best friend. because i also have experience giving money to my friends when they are in trouble, and what do i get when i need their help? nothing at all, they left and chose to cut ties with me. so from that experience i learned that there is no need to be too generous with other people and just keep all your gambling rewards to yourself because later you will definitely need it.

True and friends like that usually come when they are in need, or that means coming for a profit and when the money from your winnings is gone then the next they will look indifferent like people who don't know you, I have experienced this where a friend who is not too close to me knows about my winnings which in the end he behaves very well at that time like looking for my attention and when I have given him part of the winnings then the next day immediately disappears without any ado, as I said above like people who don't know when they have gotten part of our winnings.

Although I am quite sincere but sometimes it makes me a little annoyed too when I see his behavior, this is also a lesson for me that don't be too kind to people who actually come to benefit themselves, and lately when I get another win I usually just tell my real friends to enjoy and enliven my winnings. On the other hand what you did was a smart move by not telling anything about your winnings and preferring to tell them that it was bonus money for what you did and I'm sure they won't suspect anything and will probably just think that it was bonus money from your work. The other thing is that yes it is very true that it is possible by telling about our winnings that they may follow what we do but not necessarily they can have good self-control so this can make them lose a lot of money because they want to get a big win like us and if in the end it always fails then maybe I agree with you that we are the ones who will be blamed.

I wouldn't say one of my reasons for gambling is so that when I win I'll share my winnings with my family or friends as when I'm gambling, my attention aren't about winning but entertaining myself. If I win and my friends and family members are in need of money and I have the money with me, I won't waste time to help them by either borrowing or giving it to them as a form of charity. Regardless of winning in gambling or not, if I have the money that they need I'll help them out.

I'm a generous individuals therefore I can call myself a generous gambler too.  I don't waste time to help other individuals when they're in need but I know my limits so I don't go broke helping everyone and when it's my turn I can't get any help. Winning when gambling is a blessing as it depends on luck and only God gives luck therefore to attract more luck when we're gambling, we have to become a giver.

And determining whether a choice is good or bad when winning at gambling is up to you. because good people will sow seeds not only from gambling wins.
And in my opinion, if someone is going to give a little money from their gambling winnings, they will first see whether the person is entitled to give it or not and also see how much winnings the gambler got.

I think his family is already safe and secured and that's why he's starting to share it with the outsiders. But I totally agree that giving should start with our family or whom you treat as your family. Maybe on this end is that the old man is treating everyone as a family but we don't know how many of them treats him the same.

This is a sad reality.

It is something that makes them happy to give to the others than of their families. The possibility that they've helped first their family or relatives is high and they just stopped doing so because they're abusive and ungrateful. That's likely.

I just thought about friends who weren't close to me and would come to me and ask for a share of the winnings. It doesn't matter, but I don't want to give away part of the winnings because our friendship is not very close. I would rather give some of my winnings to friends who are truly friends than those who only come when I'm happy but stay away from me when I'm sad. Apart from that, I also don't want to end up being arrogant because I was able to win that big win and will say that I am a real gambler. No, I don't want that to happen because it will make me unable to respect other people. And it can also make my friendships with my friends fall apart.

Yes, people who don't like us will always look for our weak points and attack us in various ways. We must try to distance ourselves from things like that so we don't experience problems. I prefer to buy them food and drinks without telling them anything about the winnings and I might say there are bonuses to what I do so they don't suspect it and interrogate me. But if it were my close friend, I would tell it because my close friends always tell me many things about them. Apart from that, we don't need to make people interested in gambling, especially since we don't know how good their self-control is in gambling, so if they become addicted to gambling, maybe we will be the ones to blame.
