Some people who work hard will not use the money for something that they don't need because they care about their money. Sometimes they will use it for a small thing in their free time like to spend that money with their friends, and they pay for the food and drinks. But some others will use that money for playing gambling. But some people use money from their job of playing gambling because they want to earn more money, and that is not recommended. You should appreciate the money from your hard work.

Each nad everyone who gamble to add some more money to the wallet in one way or other sacrifice. The sacrifice can be his hard earning, time spending with the family and children, time of physical games and so on. Without money no one gets respect and people give more importance to gambling as it is the only source through which it is possible to earn money in a short without much of work done (if lucky).

Maybe such a writing as done by OP will help his child know how hard is to earn money. By the time they'll also come to know more about gambling in a short than experimenting.

Gambljng is more about luck. Not all gambling is about skills and knowledge.
Writing how hard you work for the money will not stop you to gamble if you really want to play. People are risking their money to win big.
Maybe the OP will make more than $100 if he/she stopped whatever he was doing and play the game he likes. The gambling is about the risk and reward, the probability of making money should be over the probabilities of losing money. If the last one is over the first, I will also do the same thing and will sacrifice my Netflix watching hours for work.

Absolutely not.

People gamble their money because they don't want to work hard for more money, that's the entire system—easy money.

If people cared about how hard getting the money was, they wouldn't spend it on stupid crap like designer clothes, the latest iPhone or tattoos that cost $5,000 a pop.

There is absolutely no relationship between the time-cost of money and the odds of somebody gambling it.

Actually, not all the times, there are people really that works too hard just to buy some fancy stuffs for them to look richer than they are. Some people gamble just for fun and it exceeds the fact that they could earn.

Moreover, it depends on the person's perspective on why he/she gambles and work hard for earning money.

But for me, what's clear here is that people, even those that are working hard has the possibility to gamble. I know some persons that work for technical jobs and allot money to play sweepstakes everyday to test their luck. Well, that is still considered gambling right?

Actually no. Yes, I work hard for my money but I also know my limits. I gamble for money that I can afford to spend and that isn't necessary for my everyday need. And it's my decision what will I do with my money.
As long as you don't exaggerate and waist your money you don't have to feel guilty because you gamble. Besides, gambling should be fun and joy not something you regret.
so far as I know it is true that not everyone can get lucky in the gambling world it's just that they can get a lot of profit from gambling maybe also because of the experience of gambling so they can find the right way to be able to make a lot of money from the gambling world.
Gambling is more about luck and less about experience and skills, this is what my experience has been. To win some money in gambling, there are no ground rules or strategies. Few basic skills one need to get hands on, rest is what fate has for you. I personally follow my instincts but this work for irregular players.

I think this is partially caused by the debt based society in which we live in, in the past when you could only spend the cash you had in hand people were more responsible with their money as they knew that if they ran out of money they will not receive more until they got paid, but since now you can pay almost everything on credit people now have a distorted view of their finances and instead of thinking on what they can actually afford they think on whether or not they can make the minimum payment on their credit cards.
The percentage of gamblers who are addicted to it is not that less which you have mentioned. There are almost 30% to 40% gamblers who are in one way or another are addicted to gambling and the irony is that most of them don’t understand that they are in the addiction and on the verge of bankruptcy.
They would only realize when they do already experience hardship into their lives.Its common that most people would just ignore that they are already addicted with it.
Theyll just continue as they like and as long they do have money into their pockets.They would just simply think that they do have job to compensate funds being used
for their gambling activity.Restriction would vary on each person because if you do think up sensibly you wont end up on addiction and you do just play for entertainment
and doesnt go beyond that or thinking to get rich on gambling which is the main cause of addiction.

Indeed. Most people nowadays don't want to put a pressure, effort, and a lot of time on their work that all they care is to earn money easily. It is the reason why people take the risks to gamble at the casino or in a online casino to earn huge amount of money easily, but they all end up losing a lot of money and become aggressive. Always remember that money don't grow on trees meaning that you should be working hard for your money.

This description suits gambling addicts, or compulsive gamblers, but not most of the gamblers, and, surely, not most of the people. Problem gamblers constitute from 2% to 5% of all gamblers, depending on country, and gambling addicts make up only a part of that:

All gambling addicts are problem gamblers, although not all problem gamblers have a gambling addiction.

It is very important to keep this in mind to understand that something like "I'm just like the rest of the people", coming from an addicted gambler, is, in fact, a false excuse.

Taking notes on what you earned is obviously very helpful but what I admire is your indomitable will to fight the urge to gamble, not many have that kind of discipline.

You're right, self control while gambling make any individual to withstand gambling addiction and self will to fight against inresponsible gambling. We'll have our individual level of gambling, some gamblers will remember how hard they were able to get some stash of fiats and be caution of how they intends to use the money. While some addicted gamblers will not ever think about how difficult they earned what they are about to gamble, which can be loss to the system. Those sets are the ones who can gamble while borrowing.

Personally, I will remember how difficult I earn my money and be more caution of how its be use for the family. Actually, am a gambler but with consciousness of loosing to the system when gambling. Am able to control my will power towards gambling and most importantly, gamble for fun and not to earn from gamble.

Each of us have our own way to deal with the desire to gamble in my case I prefer to focus on my goal, I want to retire early, it seems to me that most people in my country have accepted as a fact that you are going to need to work until you are seventy or even for the rest of their life and they keep spending their money on useless stuff as if their money was unlimited or as if they do not care, I prefer to keep the majority of my money and invest it in something like bitcoin.

Then from now on, you should refrain from doing gambling but start now to plan, work and focus on a stable investment.

That purpose of yours restricts yourself from doing gambling which is actually very good. No need to remember your previous action just what OP did just to discourage him from doing gambling.

But you know I can say you are a casual gambler so it's easy to withstand your gambling desire. I'm a regular gambler but even with a desire to have a business or take OP's way to prevent me from doing gambling, I will still do gambling because the desire is always there. But no worries as I can control myself different from those who totally fall on gambling addiction.

Realizing how hard it is to earn money and learn how to spend it the right way is a good thing. However, writing how hard you worked for a certain amount of money may not work for other people, but the good thing is it is working for you. We all have our own way of preventing ourselves from gambling some just think of their family and future and the things he really needs to keep moving on in life.

Just like in a saying that money don't grow on trees meaning earning money should be acquired through hard work, that is why it is pretty hard for everybody if they keep wasting money on something that they don't really need. Gambling is really not a place to spend your money on because you could really lose a lot of money in gambling, but it is okay if you are wealthy enough to do that.

No one can be "wealthy enough" to lose money. Rich people make big bets, I mean really big ones. You can bet with 10 BTC at once on some sites, which means you can lose 100 BTC in 5 seconds. No one on Earth can easily afford that. So, OP's words can apply to rich people as well.

On the hand, even someone poor can have fun with gambling, provided that he/she is losing within one day less they can earn in one hour with their regular job.

Now when I would have the urge to gamble with that $20, I would just see the diary and would realize I am not just gambling with $20 but gambling with that sacrifice of time and effort which I'll never get back. And it has worked for me to a certain level.

What's your opinion on this......

Glad that it's working for you, but I doubt if it will on the compulsive gambler, in fact they are working doubly hard just to get the money they can use to gamble, some gamblers are even resorting to stealing and other criminal activity, without thinking of the risk of getting caught, all they are thinking is how to get money for gambling.

They're not concern to whatever it takes but just to keep playing the game, there's differences between people who are playing some might find this strategy to work in order not to lose too much money, keeping all the records to remind them how hard the labors that they needed to receive their payroll and to lose it inside gambling is really ridiculous.
