Topic: Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life? - page 11. (Read 2697 times)

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.
 

Lazy or not, its never been that good on making yourself into such condition on thinking that gambling is something that could could make it as a source of income then you are really that someone whose delusional.
Just let those people experience on whats the worst at the moment that they would really be making gambling as their main source of income.Sonner or later they would really be able to taste up the harshness
of reality that you could really be able to experience on how it would really be affecting someones financial condition at the moment that you would really be keeping on chasing up on winning or constant
profits on which we know that it cant really be possible through gambling. There are really ones who are really that too delusional and this is why they do really end up ona disaster.

Gambling is really just that for the sake of fun and not for making it as your day source of money for you to rely on. It is really just that for the sake of fun and it would really be just that like that.
Dont make yourself having those high hopes because gambling is a game of chance and there's no guarantee to this one. So why would really be putting up your life condition
or situation on gambling? It doesnt have sense.

Gambling is not the main source of income, who is earning good money. He or she must have separate business or job which is the main source of money but sometimes we see the gambler coming in a car to the casino and his style says that he is rich and wealthy. We, at once, think that he is rich because of the gambling returns but in fact we do not know that he has some other main source of income and he is gambling for fun only.

People usually get deceived by the looks of the wealthy gambler and think that if he is rich because of gambling, why can't they? This makes many people put more money into gambling which they can't afford to lose and once they lose that money, their life becomes more miserable than it was before.

Its tempting to call these people lazy, but dont. Its not about munching chips and watching TV on the couch. Some gamble as their only hope and dream, even if its twisted. They may have jobs and families, but a big victory and overnight change are too tempting.

Not saying its right. Definitely a bad route. We must comprehend the causes. They may be desperate, hooked to the excitement, or see no other way out. The student's tuition money waste is tragic, but its a sign of a bigger issue. We must treat causes, not symptoms. Education, financial knowledge, and treatment may assist. We cant dismiss them as lazy. That wont help.

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.

Of course I am very sure of that, or I mean I am very sure that gamblers who always try to make money in gambling end up losing a lot of money in significant amounts and maybe I would also say that it is the intention and purpose that gamblers have that will eventually enter the addiction zone. And regarding the cause, yes I quite agree with your opinion that usually it happens when they manage to get one of the unusual winnings, or winnings in a very tantalizing amount which in the end the situation makes them experience a change in their mind especially in the interest in winning which the interest is increasing, and also this is the cause why a gambler applies greed in his gambling activities, which is because they want to get a much larger amount of winnings.

On the other hand I will say that if you do not want to experience the same effects as those experienced by gambling addicts then one thing you should pay attention to is before getting involved make sure that you understand what gambling is all about, because by having the right understanding then I believe it is less likely for you to do various actions that are not reasonable or that are too risky.

First, I am interested to know the current financial situation of that your friend back in school, does he stikl gamble? What does he do for a living presently outside gambling? And how successful is he financially?

Truthfully answering this questions should give us all an idea of whether it's really good to take gambling as a means of livelihood, like a source of income and so on.

Secondly, you should really consider using a google translator if you are not too good with English, it's not a crime or against the forum rules to use translators, if anything, it's more OK since it helps make posts more readable and understandable.

Thirdly, this topic is something that have been discussed on this board previously, in fact, I was actually one of the authors of the thread on this topic.

And in general now, regardless of the fact that it's possible to make good amount of money from gambling, it's still adviced to never use or see gambling as a source of income, or consider living from gambling proceeds.
Have your business or be working, and gambling is always be secondary.

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.

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.

It's true what you mentioned here, when you have an outside business or job that can give you big money and make you rich even though you are a gambler, but what makes you rich is your business, not the results of that gambling, gambling can only be used as a entertainment only, nothing less and nothing more. I'm sure there are many rich people out there who are gamblers, but they are rich not from gambling but other real things they earn.

you've made it clear let them bear the risk themselves, but what difference do you see in the life of people that take gambling as their source of income and those who take it like an entertainment to them. As for me it's not advisable to anyone to take gambling as their source of income in their lifes, why I say this because if you're a family man and you do have kids and your kid's are like 12 to 15 years old. And every day you end up at the gambling shop or staying at home to predict games, what do you think your kids will learn from your lifestyle? Nothing good really even if it's favoring you in other hands it's not advisable for someone to take gambling as their source of income in life.

Yes, anybody can take gambling as a source of income out of their decision and the level of risk they are willing to take, also the level of finance they are willing to throw away. Does a gambler need to be told that profit making in gambling is just a trap? A trap that makes them want to gamble all the time. Gambling profit is determined by the casino and the casino wants to always be on the winning side, so it is improper to take gambling as a source of income, I wouldn't advise anyone on that but if they want to take such a decision, let them bear the risk themselves.

In my opinion, making gambling as a side job is risky, the strong attraction of gambling can make players forget their limits, especially if they are given a win which can make them even more convinced that gambling can indeed be a source of income. For example, if they really win at the beginning, it will probably make them more interested in gambling and they will continue to gamble even though the gambling they do ends in disappointment, namely losing the amount of money they bet. I agree with what you said, never teach anyone to make money by gambling, because if someone teaches you how to make money about gambling, it's the same as putting other people into misery. And don't assume you can get extra money from gambling for sure because that's the same as hoping. Do gambling appropriately, don't let gambling play against you.

with their misinterpretation it is what makes them experience suffering which can even put themselves in danger, with their misinterpretation it can indeed make their losses in gambling not be well received, they tend to get emotional when the gambling they do ends in defeat, and with The emotion that will occur is unclear thinking where they tend to take actions that are not considered first, which clearly carries a greater risk of loss, so we should be able to consider the actions we will take first so that we don't regret the results that occur.

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.

No you can't, people all the time have tried to do this before and look where it got them, almost all of them have been left penniless and destitute because someone in their life said that there are people that are making consistent money in gambling, what those people forget to tell about those wannabe profit gamblers is that the odds of that happening to them is so slim that they're more likely to die in an accident going to the casino rather than making it big in gambling. Don't ever, ever try to consider this even if you think that the leap of faith to try this is so profound and that it's looking like you're in a movie, don't let the reality hit you so hard when you can avoid it.

I will always say that gambling on its own is not bad but the way many people approach it, this is why people are now stereotyping it. Can you imagine yourself, for instance, you went ahead to spend all day gambling, is that good at all? Didn't you have other productive things you can do other day gambling? Just because your country had an industrial action doesn't justify you gambling all day, and by you including that industrial action means that it was never at the weekend, there are many useful things you can do with your free time.

Fine, you can gamble as well, but it should have its time and limit, it should not be extensively as that, otherwise, you will appear irresponsible. Personally, I feel guilty if a day of my life is not lived as planned, perhaps you should also have plans for the day and also query the plan before finally accepting it, it will help you so well.

At the same time, for you to discuss a thing like this shows that you are not even comfortable with it, so it is a good one, since you have a bad mind about it, you might avoid it next time. Generally, people living a life like this should stop, spending the whole day gambling or being desperate about it will take us nowhere, it is good to take gambling as a passive income in a non-desperate way but rather find a good job and other responsible daily engagements.

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

Through gambling, it may be possible to help fulfill your needs with some of the wins you have obtained. But you have to remember that it only lasts for a while, the rest you will spend more money than you get.

Even though gambling is full of unexpected surprises, you also need to know that gambling is full of uncertainty. Because there are no guarantees and no one can guarantee that every time you gamble, you will win. So you cannot rely on gambling to fulfill your living needs.

Gambling is not a means to make money, rather it is a means to seek entertainment and pleasure. So don't ever misunderstand gambling. Because if you have the wrong perception about gambling, this will have fatal consequences for your behavior in gambling, and could lead you to a vicious circle that exists in gambling, namely gambling addiction.

Yes ofcourse,so many persons are earning through only gambling,but it depends on how you much you use for your staking and how many odds you decide to be staking on.If you chose to be staking on just 2 odds,then you have to always raise you capital to a reasonable amount because the amount you get in return will determine how much you used in staking..When you make it a consistent something,you maintain the way you stake,and make sure you stake on odds that are likely to play,then you can just sit in your house,and be receiving free income coming from gamble,then you won't need any other stressful job,just stay in your house and place bets,to make Money.
