Topic: Can you trust a gambler with your money/savings? - page 8. (Read 1434 times)
I think it’s really a bad idea leaving a gambler with money, I can say their are some responsible gambler which won’t gamble with their may money, they gamble with extral fund they are having, why their are some gamblers that are addicted to gambling, those once can do anything to make money that they will use to gamble, they can even still just to gamble, you are even lucky only your profit is reducing he didn’t touch the main capital. My advise is not to trust any gambler, don’t put them in financial position because you won’t really know the one that is addicted to gambling.

- Are gamblers eligible to hold financial positions?
I won't deny them the position as long as they are fit for the job. I don't think that being a gambler is a ground for denying them of holding a financial position. As long as they are not sick and isn't compulsive gambler. Being a gambler and being a compulsive gambler is two different things.
- Do problem gamblers deserve a second chance to hold a financial position?
This is quite a difficult question, but I won't let them hold any financial position again if they are caught stealing even if they are not gamblers or cured of gambling addiction.

1. Depends, some gamblers knows how to hold financial position but mostly gamblers aren't capable of it. I knew a lot of people who are a regular gambler. No matter how huge or decent his income is, he always ends up with debt a day before the payday.
2. No, once would be enough. Gambling addiction just don't vanish magically right away. Especially for that situation, that person would always find a way to gamble your money.

True life Story.
A friend i know recently narrated to me how his business almost collapsed due to trust he had for another of his friends who he thought he was helping by recruiting him to manage one of his Retail outlets. He narrated how having put him in charge of that point started observing a decrease in the the profit from there intended for savings and reinvestment. He confronted him severally to know what the problem was, but his friend attributed it to being ill and needing drugs, until one faithful day when he ran into him in a betting shop during working hours betting on virtual football games, how disappointing!

In my opinion, these are naive questions, because no matter who your partner is (I mean a business partner), you need to do business in such a way that there is control and there is no way to deceive. Business is not a place where you can trust anyone and it does not depend on whether a person is a gambler or not, whether he drinks or not, etc.
Trusting a gambler with my money? I won't try that,it is a big risk because all your money is going to be waisted on gamble and he will come back giving you excuses.The moment one is addicted to gambling,there is every tendency that he wont have no money again,because every single dime he has will be for gambling.This is really a very bad situation and at that stage of addiction,there is nothing you can do to help yourself.
So giving a gambler money is a big risk that one ought not to try.

It is risky to trust gambler with the money we have for them to manage, it is very likely that gambler use our money for gambling capital.
Unless we can confirm that the gambler is a responsible gambler, I don't mind handing over my money to him. Because responsible gamblers
have a commitment that they only gamble with the extra money they have. So a responsible gambler can be professional if entrusted with holding
someone else's money. For example I also always gamble regularly every week and I feel I am a responsible gambler. Even though I am a gambler
I never use my daily necessities or my savings to gamble, moreover I use other people's money to gamble I never do it. But if it is proven that
the gambler is addicted, then definitely do not entrust our money to the addicted gambler. Because for responsible gamblers, they know the limits of
gambling, so responsible gamblers will not get addicted.
I know from personal experience never to trust a gambler with your money,I mean a bad gambler,addicted one,personally I take care of anyone other money just like I do about my money.I came here at work several years ago and the nephew of my boss was my office colleague,I heard stories of how he borrowed money from other employees because of his gambling addiction and everyone instructed me to not lend him money.
One day I had to go and buy a MFP device so he was the driver,I got to the shop and bought it but when I got back I didn't see him in the car,called him and told him where he was,he told me come down here to this casino.I got there and he told me do you have any money,I had a lot of money but decided to test him and told him I only have 10 dollars with me and I gave him this 10 dollars,he immediately lost it in roulette within less than 5 seconds and asked for more money,I told him I have not but there I learned that you cannot trust money to such type of gamblers.

Maybe not now, it could be very hard for him and for the person. It could be hard for him since it will give him frustrations and pressure, if he really wants to help his friend but he is being attracted to gambling. He really needs to fix himself and his finances first, it would really affect other business he will handle if he is still in that

Being a gambler does not mean making you a criminal and not worthy of responsibility, including in the finance department, so everything is very dependent on each individual not what you do even a person engaged in spirituality can become a corruptor so it is not appropriate to be given financial responsibility

First of all we don't have to mark that every gambler is an irresponsible person who don't have self control over money management so they recklessly spend all their money for betting, because if this is real then how a casino can be a profitable business because mostly a casino can be run by an individual who loved to gamble right.A friend i know recently narrated to me how his business almost collapsed due to trust he had for another of his friends who he thought he was helping by recruiting him to manage one of his Retail outlets.

Irresponsible person is irresponsible no matter what their habits are and it maybe changed and can turn on the ither side, for example Robert Downey Jr charged for drug and sentenced to prison bit now he realised what are the mistakes and most wanted and paid actor so that is it, the character of every individual decides it.
Completely depends on his stats and reputation with the money. I used to finance a couple of poker players to play in the tourneys that they couldnt afford otherwise and have given money to a friend for gambling. I'd consider both as gambling but I do get something in return if they win. So, basically I'm gambling on gamblers.
I've known a friend who does this. Asks for money from what he calls "investors" that will finance his poker journey with that starting amount who are willing to give him money.I think this is totally a gamble on your side that you let them gamble with your money but the thing is, you're aware of the possible outcome whether it will be positive or negative. For me, I won't be trusting a person with my money if the same as the example of OP.
Gambling is an addiction just like the other common ones like alcoholism. It can be cured if taken proper care of. I don't mind trusting an ex gambling addict with my money, provided they are transparent on the decisions they are making with my money.

The player should never be trusted with financial management. One day I met a financial director (female).
She gave the impression of an adequate person and a highly qualified specialist.
But suddenly she winked at me and said that she was very worried about the growth of her company's wealth. Standard tools for working with finances do not allow you to get a sufficiently large profit.
Therefore, she invests part of the money in network marketing. She was convinced that financial management required creativity. But in fact, creative and gambling people should not be allowed to manage finances.
Maybe after losing the company's money in network marketing, she will play roulette to win back... I don't know... I feel sorry for the owner and CEO of her company.
This is why you shouldn't cooperate with your friends if you want to make a business, since if it's failed due to trust issues, your friendship would be ruined too.
The best way is you're attending many seminars about startup and business, than you can recruit some few guy that you trust and you need to make a deal about your profit and loss sharing. If you not trust anyone, then run it yourself. No need to worry to recruit a employee, there are a lot people out there who doesn't have any job yet and you can pick the best employee based on their experience and foremost not a gambler.

There are requirements for job application like this,that's why it's hard for most people to find satisfactory job that suitable for their preference.
Now,gambler and financial position doesn't match together and never will,so clearly they are not eligible.As for second chance,it's up to the person who are hiring,but personally,they are better at other position rather than something that related to finance.
It is an irresponsible gambler and really doesn't deserve to be given a second chance, unlike the case if the person did not commit such a mistake. That is, there is no problem recruiting or employing a gambler to hold a financial position as long as he does not mix gambling with his work because those are two very different things, put together it will certainly make his job messy too if he does not have control. But if the case is as you say, then I advise once again the person is very unworthy to be trusted.
