Wrong assumptions about gambling will put your friend at risk of losing everything he has accumulated so far, he will of course risk everything because he thinks gambling can be used as a side job and can make money. Never teach anyone about gambling if the goal is only to make money because gambling never promised a win.

Most people who are involved in gambling always end up suffering due to misinterpretation of gambling, the effects of losing will burn their emotions to try to withdraw all the money that has been spent, but in reality they continue to lose and can cause addiction. I will never teach anyone if the goal is to make money, this type of gambler is capable of doing anything to get money to return to the gambling place because their emotional level is difficult to control.

Yeah, that was exactly the advice I gave to her. Since already sees gambling as a source of income, if she goes into it, she might just be glued to it, hoping to make a huge profit one day as she keeps losing money every day until she probably lose all her savings before realizing herself. It is better to go into gambling when you have a proper knowledge about gambling. Gambling is not to be perceived in just one direction. By saying one direction, I means it should not only be seen in the aspect of making profit from it, a gambler or anyone that is thinking of becoming a gambler should also knows that they can in fact lose all their money there or luckily win a fortune which doesn't just happen easily.

I said let me express my feelings towards this to forum gambling discussion, if their are people who are living in this kind of lifestyle. And what will be your opinion towards the people living in this kind of lifestyle everyday of their life's?
If you play all day because you have nothing to do in the hope of being able to expect money from winnings, of course that's a stupid idea.
No matter what someone's situation is, in gambling there is no such thing as mercy. Gambling does not look at who the players are playing and what the situation is, whether it is difficult or happy.

For me, the concept of gambling without enough money and expecting riches after gambling, that only exists in movies. The rest, nothing really lives up to expectations.
Gamble only for fun, not because of compulsion. No money, then don't gamble.

I was gambling today online since their is strike no work, so decided to take all my day to place a bet and this thought comes to my mind. That is it how the jobless men do gamble all day with the little money they've, because this is insane to me but to those people who gamble as the means of their income it's terrible.
People take gambling as a source of income, but it doesn’t make any sense to me, so if there is a subsequent loss, then how will the person be able to survive? People like this are the ones that do end up being addicted to gambling easily, because if they lose continuously and have no money left with them, they will end up doing everything possible to get money just to keep on gambling because they need to gamble for survival. Some of them will sell things they have, hoping to buy them back after winning, but most of them will end up losing the money.
 
If you are not married yet, I don’t have any problem with anyone depending on gambling for survival, but if you are married with children, then it’s totally bad. You shouldn’t punish your family members with your stupidity. Because if you have a family, you won’t be the only one to be affected, your family members will also be affected.



It is certain that anyone who take gambling as a source of income is addicted, there is no two ways about it because they'll keep playing to make sure they provide food on their table and it's a continuous process else they'll beg on the streets because most persons who make gambling their source of income are using from poor background and they think gambling might help lift them from poverty. It's advisable to have a source of income before gambling so that you won't get addicted by taking gambling too serious. Another mistake most gamblers make is thinking they can actually double their salary after a month of hustle and hard work, they are likely to loose everything and go home with nothing.

Basically, gambling is just an activity to fill free time with the remaining money we have without having to use large amounts of money as long as it can entertain you and gambling can be said to be like a luxury game that requires you to spend a little money to access it.
Under any circumstances, gambling should only be a game that can produce more pleasure than the profit of getting money because of course the more often or the longer you bet on luck-based gambling games, the greater the losses we will incur.
Gambling should not be considered as a place to make any profits, even though sometimes you get profits from gambling for a few days, but believe me, it's just luck and after luck leaves your life, you will definitely lose more often or maybe only get small wins.

There are many negative impacts if gambling is considered as a source of income, so it is always recommended to think of gambling as a game that you can play when you have money left over and have free time to gamble, or if someone is determined to consider gambling as a source of profit, I'm sure anyone will be more addicted because he will continue to chase the losses he has obtained.

No, however it makes gambling a place to produce is an idea that can never be justified, because the reason is clear that in gambling there is absolutely no way that can have 100% accuracy to produce a win, meaning this is why gambling is called an activity that does not have any certainty and guarantee. Meanwhile, on the other hand, as we know, need can never be tolerated, while gambling will not always be able to provide victory because there is no certainty or guarantee whatsoever.

So in my opinion, of course it is an unreasonable idea to do, there is no other advice other than it is better to look for a job that can really provide a definite income as is done by many people in general who get a salary at the end of every month. Never make the impossible possible, plus it is very clear that gambling has a level of risk that can sometimes be very significant.

For those who gamble for fun or as a hobby, gambling is not a place to find a source of income, but rather a place to divert attention. Most of them gamble to relieve boredom due to work demands, by gambling they can get instant pleasure. Meanwhile, those who use gambling as a source of income will be completely under pressure, and have the potential to lose everything they have, including their family, if they do not immediately stop gambling.
Yes, it all comes back to each person's mindset because everyone has different goals when gambling, but in fact what we see is that most gamblers today always consider it as a source of income, not something that is fun like other people, I am one of them. who consider gambling as entertainment on the weekends when I feel like my weekdays are full of stress from work, but maybe other people have a different mindset with gambling as their source of income every day and they lose a lot of money.

But people who gamble responsibly and have a mindset of just having fun, they never experience regret when they lose, let alone the pressure to recover from their losses and chase their losses, everything is impossible for them to feel and I feel that myself, there are differences depending on the mindset and method. their views on gambling. There is nothing wrong with gambling, it's just that most of us as gamblers expect too much when gambling.

I had a friend that approached me last year and requested that I teach her gambling because she wants to start earning money from gambling because she believes that gambling is a side hustle that can make her get more income from there, but I discouraged her from gambling because she was already seeing it as a source of income, and if I encourage her to continue or teach her how to do so, she might get addicted and lose all her money in the process. What I am saying in essence is that gambling is not a proper means to source income; while doing that, you can get addicted and lose all your money, including your salary. 
She would not necessarily become addicted, but the likelihood of simply losing some of her money would not be small.

Perhaps gambling can be considered a very unstable and fickle source of money. Something like a salary bonus, which may or may not happen. Also, this bonus may turn out to be negative and will reduce part of your salary. If you look soberly at gambling as a source of income.

Do not take the winnings of other gamblers as motivation for yourself, as if you can win like them, gambling can favor people at different times, and you cannot be lucky as someone else when you think you want to win might be when you are losing. 
Should the losses of other (close) people in gambling be perceived as a demotivator for gambling?

Luck is a very abstract and ephemeral thing, which is very unstable and ends up in the hands of a few. Relying only on it is very risky, especially if you observe the luck of others.

She might not get addicted, which is true, but she might end up chasing losses and continue losing her money till she spends all her savings. Since she doesn't have the intention to go into gambling for fun, I advised her against it. 

I would not measure gambling winnings as a salary bonus that an employee may not know all the time that the company is going to add to their salary. There are some companies you will work with, and most of the time you will get inside information when a bonus is to be added to your salary. But when you are playing casino games, count certainty out because you will never be certain of what time you are going to lose or when you are going to lose. In sports betting, you can sometimes be sure that the game will be successful unless the team screws up. 

Losses of other gamblers could be perceived as a demotivation, depending on the perception of the gambler. It could be a novice that just wants to venture into gambling (for the same reason of making money) for the first time, but seeing how often some gamblers lose their money can be a demotivating factor.

Almost no one can set out to take gambling as their source of income, you would have to be a poker star or similar type of high level skill and even then sometimes you will be losing money the whole week maybe the whole month so its a rough trip.

The one exception I heard of is people who gamble casino bonuses or promotional offers given to new customers.  That isnt strictly a legit thing as you can only be a new player once however the person I heard of just keeps opening via new details given to him by friends and contacts and he does all his gambling with that positive bias.   Like I say its not exactly a proper job but some people try to gamble constantly with nice bonuses given to them and that alters their bias back to profitability.  Most of us are just playing games and getting lucky sometimes only.

It is undoubtedly true that most gamblers choose gambling as a source of income. The opposite is true for particularly wealthy gamblers who have no problem with money, who may consider gambling primarily as a pastime. But most of the poor and middle class gamblers choose gambling as one of the main sources of income. One of the main targets of all gamblers around me is to profit from gambling and make a living from that profit. This irrational attitude and activity of theirs makes them lead a very miserable life later on. In most of the gambling families this gambling alone causes chaos and family misery.
 
It is a fact that is often found in almost all environments, that the majority of gamblers come from the lower middle class or more precisely the poor. It is very reasonable why they make gambling their main source of income, they have more free time and no permanent job, so they have more opportunities to invest money and time in gambling. Besides that, they also have the greatest potential to become depressed when they lose money, because their lives depend on gambling. They know that the chances of winning are very low, but still do it regularly because of poverty and addiction.

For those who gamble for fun or as a hobby, gambling is not a place to find a source of income, but rather a place to divert attention. Most of them gamble to relieve boredom due to work demands, by gambling they can get instant pleasure. Meanwhile, those who use gambling as a source of income will be completely under pressure, and have the potential to lose everything they have, including their family, if they do not immediately stop gambling.

There is no possible way to have gambling as a source of income no matter what.
Gambling isn't à fixed salary or something like that to be relied on for someone's spendings. Sometimes u might get lucky and win some money but most of the times you face losses a lot so I don't see how It can be a source of income.

People who rely on gambling and don't have any other source of income as a job or a business are considered lazy people in my opinion. Because if you rely on some wins from some slots to spend during the day then you don't think any further.

I personally can't do such thing, I consider gambling as an entertaining activity nothing more, sometimes u put a significant amount of money and bet it, ofcourse an amount you can afford losing but for fun nothing more. If you don't have any other income then how are you supposed to gamble anyways?
Your opinion about the subject matter is very similar to anyone who actually sees gambling as a recreational activity instead of a source of earning income. Gambling have never and would never be a good source of income and that's why I always laugh at those who wants to engage in gambling because they want to earn a living from the proceeds they get  from gambling.

When you engage in gambling because of the financial rewards that comes from it, you're most likely to become a gambling addict at the end of the day because you'll always make hasty decisions just to win at the end of each engagement and because your decisions are mostly affected by your quest to win, the chances of making good gambling decisions becomes slimmer thereby leading to continual loss which will leave you addicted to gambling. For anyone that's new to the forum or does want to engage in gambling, please do not do it because of you want to make it your source of income

Gamblers cannot always rely on gambling as their source of income all the time, but if you have enough budget then become a bookie (casino owner) in this industry and earn income. This is the only way for you to earn an income from gambling, meaning you must take advantage of this industry to make a profit.

You also need to know that not all bookies can always earn income from this industry. All of them carry the risk of loss (bankruptcy) regardless of how developed your casino is initially. The gambling industry is very risky, even though it promises big profits, there are times when they have to go out of business and are no longer able to pay their customers because they are unable to compete.

you think it's laziness but for them it's their hope in life, some of them have something doing but the money is only going into gambling. While some do have strong family that have money and it's not a stress for them anymore, just few days ago I saw a lady complaining so badly about her brother in school. That their parents sent him money for school fees and he ended it up by gambling so he called her sister to loan her little money to go back and continue with it, so that he can recover the money that he lost. And this money it's not a little money to be paid quickly, the sum of $3,000 USD that he used for gambling. So laziness is also among but the fact is that some of this youth's don't really know what they're doing to themselves.
These young people who gamble using their parents money should be kicked from home, so they will know if money is really important and they can learn how to waste their money. They thought that their parents always have money since anything that they ask, the parents always can fulfill it, but they didn't know if their parents taking a loan to make them able to school.

Yes, it is a fairly effective way to cause a deterrent effect on a child so that they do not dare to do bad things like that again, but on the other hand I am not sure that every parent will agree or will do the idea, because basically there are always some parents who always defend their children even though their children are wrong or do something that is not commendable.

But yes, of course for some parents who really dare to do this idea to their children when they find out that their children steal their money to gamble, then yes it is a good idea to cause a significant deterrent effect that allows a child to be discouraged.

But yes, strict action should really be taken by parents regardless of whether it is their child or someone else, none other than because the idea can educate a child so that they no longer dare to commit various worse actions.

The majority of us will say NO but why not if we are destined to be a successful gambler? Of course, our negativity drives our minds to think negatively but it is possible in real life.

It can be one source of income but it doesn't mean we have to be fully reliant on this.
We have not to generalize that all gamblers are losers, many also have made their life better by doing this. We can say only a few of them, yet it is not really convincing but for them, they had already achieved things that can't be simply achieved by having stable jobs.

I don't think gambling can be a source of income for anyone. You can ask anyone that is gambling how often they win, and they will explain, gambling is not something you can win at often. Even if you are a lucky person, you can't always win at gambling. The few people you see whose lives have changed due to gambling are those who were lucky enough to win a large amount of money, and that usually happens only once or twice. So, I am just wondering why someone would try to make gambling a source of income when there is no assurance of winning at any particular time.

If anyone has the mindset of making gambling a source of income, they will just suffer in life. Just look at the percentage of people losing money in gambling compared with those winning, and it will be clear to you that gambling is full of luck, and anything that relies on luck cannot be a source of income.

First thing is, how often do you win from gambling, and in doing so ask yourself, after spending the whole day betting, how many of your bet actually win and how many loses recorded, when you are able to accurately see that you won more than you lost it show you have a good technical knowledge on sport analysis.

But it doesn't end there, also put into practice for a consistent time, let say gamble the whole week, repeatedly if you win consistently then you can take gambling as a flow income generation and a source, but if you can't win all the time which is the reality with gambling, then it means you are risking your financial well being by taking gambling as major source of income.

You can’t win frequently in gambling, that is just a fact, even though you really win all the time in gambling. is either lucky or cheating, so it is a true fact that no one can constantly win in gambling, and anyone who thinks he is a frequent winner. So if he will like it to be his main source of income, then I will say he should be ready to dwell in debt and poverty. That is just the fact. If you said they should use gambling as a source of getting some income to add up in order to sustain a living with their families, I will completely support that, but gambling as the main source of income is a critical idea. 
 
For instance, if gambling is your main source of income, then what will you do when you have emergencies? Because you, as a professional and profitable gambler, will never have savings because you always use the money to play more games in order to get more money that will still be put back into the game, when you have an urgent emergency, how will you approach it?

So many gamblers do not actually consider what they lose at the cause of gambling. Since they don't lose them at once, they don't find it easy to calculate and accumulate their loses. Rather they allow one single win to make them forget all their losses. The real thing would have been; when you win, you calculate all your loses and subtract it from your winning and determine if you are actually making progress.

But it doesn't end there, also put into practice for a consistent time, let say gamble the whole week, repeatedly if you win consistently then you can take gambling as a flow income generation and a source, but if you can't win all the time which is the reality with gambling, then it means you are risking your financial well being by taking gambling as major source of income.
It is not possible to win in a streak for a whole week. Even if you have majority winning this week, no matter how experienced you are, there's no guarantee that you will continue winning without losing.

Yeah, it is just one of the variable and invariable circumstances where every gamblers has the intensive expectations of winning and when they wins they are going to make profit out of it and that specifically has aimed gambling an income source but does not mean it is a basic source advisable for a gambler to rely on for a source of income because its resourcefulness is usually unpredictable which can harm its desperate chasers.
There is indeed a chance to win, but of course, even though they can win, it doesn't mean they can use gambling as a source of income with the winnings they get because based on luck alone, it's impossible for them to win completely because of the strategy they use in gambling. The winnings they have obtained can even make them addicted to gambling and experience many losses. Apart from that, for those who respond wrongly to gambling, usually the winnings they have obtained can make them more confident that they can still win again so they will gamble again. and even though the next gambling ends in defeat, they still continue to gamble because their unnatural gambling motives encourage them to continue gambling in order to win or even recover losses even though this is not recommended.
Of course, those who consider gambling as a source of income will most likely only experience losing more money, and that will make them addicted to gambling, especially if they are lucky enough to win quite often, the deeper they will get into gambling, but with The deeper they get into gambling, the greater the risk which can even make them completely destroyed financially, health and even relationships.

It is true that those who gamble with other people's money do not understand the cost of wasting money. There are many gamblers who gamble with others money or borrowed money. When they run out of money, they collect money from another source and start gambling again. Thus their gambling continued. We can temporarily get angry and say all sorts of things but in reality those words worth less. No good words we say to a person who has become addicted to gambling and unless he tries to change on his own initiative.

If any member of the family is addicted to gambling, then his father and mother must know those things and take the right decision. If they neglect to take care of their children, they will suffer in the future. Gambling is not an income stream where one can win according to his needs. By managing gambling within self-control, the gambler will keep himself safe and others will not be harmed by him.
