Topic: Are you a generous gamblers - page 8. (Read 1557 times)

Well you have a point, sometimes It's better to keep in ourself that we won in gambling to avoid the demands of others who know. we know that it is a trend to ask for money from those who win in gambling. So, what if the prize you have won is not that big, then you will not be able to give money to other people.

I'd probably do the same too, I don't think that it's a good idea to spend all of the wins or half of the wins on celebration with your friends because that money could go to somewhere much better than spoiling your friends, I'm sure that a few beers and some food would be enough to satisfy them, no need to be extravagant with how you celebrate a really big win, they'll be grateful that you've thought of them even if the celebration isn't that grandiose. Imagine how many half of the wins that person has given away when he could've done something to it or made it that he'll only use about 20% or 25% of the win, more money for you to increase your bankroll for your next gambling session.

It always feels super after hitting the jackpot but yet, I am interested to know what makes a good gambler and what could be criterials of a good gambler As this man is said to be

It is worth questioning, infact, likely to need advice because it is not wise chasing after profits in gambling at the obligations to win and shares amongst relatives and the publics. This could lead to bankruptcy because there could be tendencies to loose over 100 times while gambling as long as gambling remains a game of luck.
This could be as carelessness of displeasing himself to please others without undermining that he has to be balanced before you could serve as a weighing pillar to others.

No, in my case I am not. Sometimes I invite friends or family to something, a few beers for example, but because I feel like it that day, not because I've won, and even less do I consider doing it constantly every time I win as in the OP's example. If it were a large amount, thousands of dollars or more, like when you win a small prize in the lottery, yes, I would surely invite, but as an exceptional thing, as exceptional as the prize.

I don't know if I'm a generous gambler or not, but maybe

When I win a large amount, I will cash out and buy food to enjoy it together. I will also give some to my neighbors. Maybe that's why I think I'm a generous person

But even though I don't win often, when I profit from trading, I also use a little of that profit to buy food. And we will enjoy it together. We share with others. And when we have more money, we will share it with others. We don't need a reason to be generous or not because it is our choice.

I would also consider myself a generous gambler, since I would also treat my friends or family when I win in gambling.
Most of the time it wouldn't really bother me much if I win or loss since what I am using to gamble is my spare money, so it doesn't really matter much to me and if I win I would celebrate it with them.
But if I loss then that's it no hard feelings or whatever, I think I am not the only gambler who is like this, we enjoy the game and if we win we would celebrate it with someone close to us.

Sometimes we find someone who wants to do good but is confused about where to get the money because maybe the money they have is not enough to help other people or do good, therefore they gamble just to win so they can share and do good with their winnings so that make other people think that not all gamblers are bad.

Sometimes money can change a person's character, some people become arrogant and some people become generous because being generous can bring more fortune to that person. If we instill kindness then one day that goodness will return to us and vice versa.

Personally, it depends on how many wins I get. If the win is large then I will probably share my happiness with my friends and family, but if I win a small amount then I will use the winnings for my own needs.
Honestly, there is no harm in sharing our happiness after winning with our closest friends or family, because that is good behavior and we need to remember that we also need to save from the winnings, even if only a part or a small amount.

Let me say at the outset that I am not a professional gambler. I participate like twice a month or once a week for gambling. I use a very limited amount on gambling platforms that do not hurt after I lose. However, the winning money of the bet must be spent among family members, but it is better to spend it among friends, but it is better not to spend it in large amounts. It is important to always keep some money aside for personal needs. Those who win a large amount of bet spend unaccountably, then at some point it will be seen that the person's career is ruined. The surplus person given by the OP here should spend a little less since he is an admitted gambling addict so it is better to save something for future life instead of spending his winnings on friends.

This guy is already enjoying his life since he already did his part to support his kids (and now they're grown up). As a pensioner and probably no one relying on him anymore, gambling became his source to enjoy life. I don't see anything wrong with that especially he is generous to share half of his winnings to those who are in need. Regardless how much he is spend in gambling and how often he win/lose, it's his business. What matter is he's not begging to anyone for money to use in gambling.

If i'm given a chance to win a decent amount, I will also share some to others especially to my family. Unfortunately, i'm not that lucky.

That is, if he wins, but if he is addicted and losing continuously, can he still be generous? Indeed, not all gambling addicts have bad traits, there are various reasons why they continue to be like that and as far as I know, most gambling addicts have bad traits because they always pursue the ambition to win big and when they win they just want to enjoy it themselves and be able to change their poor lives, but it turns out there are still gambling addicts who are generous like you described and I admire him because even though he is addicted he still does good things even though it could be said that his winnings are his own losses which he has lost so far.

I myself will also be generous if I can win at gambling, I can please my family by treating my friends and don't forget to also make myself happy but this depends on the win if it is big, but if the win is small maybe I will only treat my family because the most important thing is family fun.

I used to be generous back then, mostly with my friends, and gifted them skins a few times because I wanted to make their day, but now I doubt I could be that generous again when I could barely land any big wins or even reach the minimum withdrawal. I always remember spending my winnings that way, buying a gift for myself or someone else because it's easy to become greedy once you start winning, wanting more until you lose it all back in the casino.

It's great to see people win big money and then use it to help others out.  But most folks can't just suddenly become philanthropists overnight.  Winning the lottery jackpot isn't most peoples reality and  this guy who won is retired with grown kids who can take care of themselves already.  Sounds like he found a good place in life, whether gambling got him there or not.

Playing the game with the serious mode is not the series Gambler,the gamblers who ready to allot the separate money from the income to their gambling activities will be the serious gamblers.The serious gamblers will not worry for the loss,he is play the gambling with more responsibility.Because they won’t blame anyone for the loss.The game which was used by the gamblers was played with the strategy by the serious gamblers.The normal people will play the gambling with the random betting.The most important thing for the serious gambler is they need to play the game with responsibility and the strategy betting for game.

Yah, it is good to be generous or become a philanthropist, but then, every gambler can not have the same attitude. Also, it depends on the amount of money that you are able to win, that's what can determine the level of help you can render to people with your winning. 

I remember, you said, that the man sometimes wins the jackpot, which is good, most gamblers doesn't have those kinds of luck at all time. The man you are talking about here is a pensioner and also has grown up children, who probably are taking care of their responsibilities themselves. The man doesn't have much of a big deal job, than to do what gives him happiness, so I don't doubt that he is absolutely satisfied with what he is doing. 

I am a generous person, but I don't need a win from gambling before I can help people for some of their minor needs. 

I can say that I am a generous gambler too, because whenever I win, I prefer to be able to share my winnings especially with my family. I'm not picky when it comes to family, but when it comes to friends or acquaintances, I'm pretty strict about spending money when they're with me. My family's needs are more of a priority because I know they also need help from me, but I don't let them always rely on me, somehow I teach them how to properly manage their spending habits and manage finances so that when the time comes when I can no longer gamble and rarely win, they know how to earn money that is not from me.

Their is nothing like generosity in gambling,  when one is giving so much money on gambling it is either the person is addicted or plays so much as a result of greed. Nobody can just decide to give out so much in gambling without any reason.  Most people that plays gambling so much are addicted and the have so much expectations from gambling that they can quickly get a win by the number of games which they have played.

I think about it too for an old (assuming because he is a pensioner already) and a person that has nothing to worry about financially related is quite generous not all but there are some when it comes to sharing what they had. While on the other hand, giving should not be always, people are greedy and prone to abuse, i hope the guy won't tolerate people if someone wants to abuse his generosity.

It only applies if you don't except to win money when you gamble but you only gamble for fun IMO. Because the house edge of most games is very hard to overcome, so if you spend half of your winnings for tipping your friends, you have no chance to earn any money in the long run. So IMO it shouldn't be a hard rule, you should only do it in some occasions, and to people who need it or who are generous themselves.

Giving is a natural thing and it is so easy for a giver to become a generous gambler. People who share their winnings with friends and relatives are givers by nature and that is why they find it obligatory giving whenever they win regardless of how much they have lost. I have seen friends quarrel and avoid friends because they got a win from gambling. I have seen friends only spending on those friends who also engage in betting and neglecting those friends who are not in the gambling line. Of a true, winning in gambling can unravel the nature of a gambler.

I have a very close friend who won $1500 from sports betting and then gave me $10. When I inquired about why he gave me money, he lied that he got little winning of $50 and so decided to share with me. I was happy with such a mindset but then, when I went to the betting shop where he usually gambles, I was told he got a winning of $1500. When I asked him, he accepted but I got angry not because he gave me $10 but because he lied. He owes me nothing so there was no need for him lying. I have got also another friend who will always disclose his winnings to me and then give me 10% of the winning. So, people behave differently when they win.

In my case, I am a generous gambler. I don`t play offline where people can easily know when I win but even though I gamble online I have always told my friends about my winnings and we celebrate together. I give cash from the win and also sponsor hangouts. I believe that the essence of making money is to have fun but then I cannot have fun alone except with friends and family. So, the joy of winning is making everyone winning by sharing with them. I can also recount the days I gamble offline and win. I share fun randomly with the people present in the betting shop from the bet manager, staff and to my fellow gamblers.
