We all know that being an addicted gambler is a very tough spot in our life, but what if you need to decide what to choose, your addiction or you family? i.e., the given situation will be that you need to decide on the spot if you want to pursue your "career" in gambling or make a good simple life with your family? what will you choose?

Only a crazy man would choose gambling over his own family.There are no other things in life that can stay with you for the rest of your life which is your own family, for better or for worst.

Gambling isnt a thing that you should engage on for the rest of your life.This is only good if you do have money but not all would last long yet you can mess up your own life in a short time
specially if you do lost big time.

So if you dont like unfortunate situations then better to think twice on how you should treat up gambling on a moderated way.

for a non-addicted gambler like me, the question is easy and the answer would be obvious and it is only normal to pick your family. but if you were to ask a chronic
gambler these types of question are probably one of the hardest for them and some of them may even pick their "career" as a gambler than their family. some of
you may think, how can they pick gambling more than their family. for chronic gamblers, gambling is part of their life and losing that is like losing a part of their body
(just like what most addicts feel when being deprived of their addiction).

Who in the hell will consider gambling as their "CAREER" in life? I don't see anybody who wants to make gambling their career. Even the addicted ones doesn't want to in my opinion.

I think it is obvious already that family is more important than gambling even you are addicted into it. No one will choose gambling over family here Cheesy

I don't call these professionals as addicts though, it's their passion and they probably earn a living from it.

I agree, but it looks like most of the people misunderstood the term that I used with a quotation mark on it, I was being sarcastic when I said "career", and of course professional gamblers are not included when I said that, because professional gamblers and amateur gamblers holds different mindset, pro have their passion and amateurs have their greed on it, just pure greed, they do have plan but later fall apart because they lost their money in gambling.

Nobody will choose gambling over a family, if you spend to much time on gambling you will end up in misery, only guy who is out of his mind will choose gambling over his family and there is no such thing as career in gambling, you are going to lose money however you try, only gambling operators can make money on gambling but not a player.

Bankroll always win yes indeed because its a business but not all gambling places are always win and rich
even many sites that go bankrupt because they can no longer afford to pay the players who managed to win there.
My point is lost or win and luck it's different for each player

This dilemma comes prior to having a family. But if I were on the shoes of such person, of course, I will be whole heartedly choosing my family over gambling. Sounds easy, right? But sometimes this decisions are quite obvious to answer, because the thing is, your family or your possible wife would not choose you as his husband if you have a background you cannot get rid off.

I have no problem choosing my family because I have no attachment at gambling to the point that it will become my priority, I started gambling that family is my priority and I will keep it that way as long as I can, people become addicted to gambling because they did not establish a commitment to their family, and they end up addicted and all their minds and commitment is to play and win in gambling.

Im sure no one will choose in addiction over family, whoever choose it is not in normal state of mind and totally out of control to decide which is right or wrong, what can you do with gambling addiction career if you choose it? It will not bring you fortune and it will result in your life being miserable and homeless if you got bankrupt so threat gambling as an entertainment just for fun not a career.

In life, we have a different reason for how we handle the decision in life. Today one of the online game platforms is the online gambling it has an advantage and less hassle to the people who want to play online but does not have any time to go outside; many people want to play because it satisfies their selves in by just playing sometimes this is part of their daily routine, gambling is a game with a high risk that either you will win or you will lose your money and reputation if you have a good career in gambling better to continue until you reach your goal. Still, if not better to stop gambling from stopping wasting your money, we need to be practical in life, we need to survive in society. For your better future, it is good if you have stable work and life and play gambling for an additional source not to lose your s.

There is only one possible answer to that question and no sane person would or should pick addiction over the love and safety of their family. Addictions are a horrible thing. Those who are addicted, to gambling or anything else, need to seek help as soon as possible before it destroys what is important to them.

lol i can't possibly find another answer besides choosing family, a family is everything. unless they are acute addictions, of course, they cannot think and control themselves, but when in the end, their lives are destroyed due to addictions they will regret and back to the family. I'm not addicted, but I decided not to gamble anymore and in the end, my life was better.

Well, that is only natural since our family is the one and only treasure we have. Family won't even become equal to gambling.
It is true, if they take gambling as a source of income or they don't have anything to do aside from gambling and they are totally addicted into it, maybe they will disregard their own family for gambling.

but if the case is different, when he is addicted and can make a lot of money aka success from gambling, I don't think we will choose both. we can even help the family economy from the success we get.
but if addiction does not earn anything, what must be maintained rather than the family?

Who in the world can make a lot of money from gambling addiction. Almost 99% of the gambling addict are the losers. You cannot expect a win from those who do not have any plan on how much to invest in gambling.

For a better life, the gambling should be limited such that no one in the family and nearby is badly effected by it.

Addiction comes in different form, some are addicted to alcohol, some to smoking, some to eating and etc. Addiction only becomes bad when you see your family suffering from your addiction. Therefore first decide what is good for your family and then think whether you addiction is making your family suffer. Then take the right decision.

Right decision is only one which is to think about your family and not about your interest and addiction to gambling. But I am afraid most people think about gambling more than their families. I have seen a few divorce happening on gambling where the husband spends too much time on gambling ignoring his wife and kids.

Family of course. It's a no brainer. A more interesting question would be how to make your gambling "addiction" acceptable by your family. Because I don't think I ever want to give up my gambling activity, even after I have my own family.

The first step would be to reduce the level of addiction itself to the level it doesn't become a problem to anyone, including your family. Don't gamble if you don't have excess money. Don't gamble with a big sum.

When you are addicted, you do not have a choice to leave the addiction for the benefit of your family. Addiction is difficult to be cured once you are effected by it. You should ask this question before you play too much gambling and should understand that if you spend too much time and money on gambling, it will have bad effects not only on yourself but also on your family.

Maybe in a sane condition and not playing we can say that, but if emotions and defeat while gambling maybe the family will be set aside to fulfill any desire will be done.

This may seem a tough question but for me it is an easy one.I don’t think anyone except the Pokerstars tv stars make a career in gambling so I would always choose family over being a gambling addict.Being a gambling addict would not give you anything good in your life so for me it is an easy one to always choose family.

Yes, there are. Professional poker players are good examples. Sports gambling pundits in particular also travel from time to time anywhere around the globe when necessary to catch games, rumors and activities they believe can affect their calls and analysis.

The gambling industry is worth hundreds of billions in dollars. It may be hard to imagine especially to those non-gamblers or casual gamblers but sure there's a lot of careers in the table.

I don't call these professionals as addicts though, it's their passion and they probably earn a living from it.

I understood this as you stating gamblers are addicts, which is wrong.

Nope, I didn't say that, in fact I used "what if" term meaning that it is a situational scenario.

Quote from: Wexnident on December 14, 2019, 02:39:02 AM

ALSO, Gambling addiction isn't a career jeez. Learn the definitions before using them. Made the topic really confusing.

That is why I used a quotation (hope you know how it works) on the term "career" because it is not a career, it is just a self-proclaimed careers that gamblers are saying, I guess it is you who should learn things first before you judge a book, thank me later
