Topic: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? - page 29. (Read 6574 times)

I may not have the stats to back this but a very huge percentage of people who gamble are in it to make money. Only very few are doing it for fun. When you go to gambling platforms, you'll see a lot of lower-class people who forever use their last money to gamble (hoping that it could be their lucky day). I've gone to numerous physical gambling stores, but I haven't seen a really rich person there, it's always people who are struggling, wasting, and tossing their money away out of desperation.

Most of the time money is not the problem. It used to be the choice of making money that drives towards gambling. Once started to wager, the win/loss keeps us gambling for the rest of the day. I personally start to wager with few dollars looking for small money. As the prediction doesn't work as we expect, the loss makes you increase the bet value.

The spending difffer based on the financial ability, however going beyond the ability makes it more of a risky thing. In most of the case, the middle class people used to be the sufferer as they risk money that is supposed to be used for their living.

The lower class of people are the ones with average gambling money, those rich guys gamble in high stakes, their win's are always high because they stake with a lot of funds, mean while, a lower class gambler will  stake with meager money with the hope of getting a big win, which sometimes doesn't work as they plan.
A wealthy guy, can play small odd with high stake, and win his money with a little bonus attached, but a lower class guy, will stake a little money with a very big odd, and he will end up losing the bet, because those big odd winning doesn't come easy. I feel they both class of person's have almost equal numbers of people that gamble, the rich wants to get richer, the lower class too wants to get rich as well.

No gambler use the food money in the gambling,only the gambler who get gambling addiction will do that thing.Because the gambling addict will plan to store the entire money from the gambling site.The continuous try in the gambling site help the gambler will make the good gambling knowledge as compared to the other gambler do the random bet in gambling.The gambling knowledge will be the big source from that you can recover the old gambling loss in the gambling using the gambling knowledge.

If I go to answer this question then I will say, that  lower-class people will be more percentage who gamble than rich people.  In most cases, gambling is not only online, but there are many people who do offline gambling in our country, and I have not seen any middle class people gambling in my neighborhood, but I have seen many people who are very low-class people but they play gambling.
If this percentage is taken in survey form it will be seen that poor people are more addicted to it than rich people. Primarily one reason is that lower-class people outnumber rich people. And the lower class people who are more involved in these things I have seen are basically gambling addicted persons. Because it has been seen in many cases that despite having a loan, they have taken on the burden of more debt while trying to repay the loan money by gambling.

Humans have insatiable needs/wants, and as such I don't think anybody is ever satisfied in a long run with what he/she has, because the higher a person's income increases, so do his/her expenses increases also, and on that note, gambling is a choice, and not everybody who gambles gamble for the money but to some, for the fun of it (i.e entertainment)

Drake is a very popular and rich American rapper, and yet he gambles (i.e on Stake casino), or does that mean he doesn't have sufficient money?
Due to lack of employment and need for money, I can somehow agree with this very statement that the number of low and middle class gamblers are far higher than the number of rich people who gambles.

Some might be gambling for that reason, but honestly I don't think that it is the reason why most of the middle or lower class gamble.
If you don't have sufficient money why would you even risk what you have?
For me only fools would do it, we could all agree that our main goal in gambling is the profit, but it isn't the only reason why we gamble.
All of us have different reason why we gamble aside from aiming to gain profit.
And for me it is either to relief some stress or enjoy time with my friends.

What causes addiction, if not greed, is the desire to win a large sum of money by wagering a small sum and hoping for a miracle. If you see some bet slips, looking at how long they are, it's just very amusing. I frequently wonder how it's possible to predict all games, even ones where you don't know the team. When a person doesn't have money, gambling is not something they will ever consider doing, but for those who are addicted to it, gambling is always something they want to do, regardless of their financial situation. If you're bored and looking for something to do for fun, you can head to the casino for some fun, and if you come back with some money, then your luck has been in.



People who even gamble more are those who are not financially okay and that is where you will see a lot of addicts. because they want to be financially free. On some occasions, I have seen professional gamblers who don't do any other thing but gamble and that is what they are living on. but even they have stories to tell about how they have lost a lot of games too. the fire will burn everyone as far as it is gambling. and that is very good advice, gambling is not to be depended upon. and talking about decisions I have seen people gamble with their cars and property, after they lose they will come back to their senses gambling is not about going online and placing bets they have offline betting too.

I agree, that is absolutely an approach that no one should take, whether they are newcomers or even those who have been actively gambling for a long time, they still have to adhere to the concept of gambling in general, which is only a place for fun, no more than that. Well true, there are always people who think that making money from gambling is the best way for them, but I will say that it is only for those whose mindset has been disturbed by too high expectations that make it difficult to think normally. After all, how can you make money from a place that is just luck, not getting a win but what happens is always losing and that means not increasing your money but will make you poorer.

That's how they usually fall into addiction, starting from a defeat that they cannot accept and after that they will get emotional and then return to gambling with very high hopes and with the intention of replacing the defeat in the previous time. This is what is feared because this cycle will continue to occur and I say if you experience such a mindset then I say you have entered into addiction. So yeah it's true that if you don't have any responsibility for the money you lose then it's better not to gamble, it will only worsen your finances, avoid it before it's too late my friend.

That type of approach is such a wrong way of looking at gambling and we should not be expecting that type of approach to it. I understand that some people may think that the best way to make money would be gambling but if you are gambling to make money and you end up losing it as expected, then you should be fine with it.

However, if you end up not being fine with it then you are going to be pretty upset and should not be gambling to begin with. I understand that the best way to approach this would be just trying to have fun and if you can have fun with it that would be a lot more important.

If they can overcome their loss by accepting that it is normal to experience loss, they will not become depressed and can accept reality. Gambling habits can indeed change a person, especially if he gambles more often, which will harm him one day. When they can control themselves in gambling, they will not chase after winning and only try to make gambling entertainment because they know that winning in gambling is difficult. Moreover, if they don't have money, they will never try to make money from gambling because it will lead to losing their money quickly from gambling.

Yes, that's right, financial imbalance will trigger a person's desire to gamble, because they think gambling will improve their finances even though this is still very doubtful. Yes, not depending on gambling is a good thing, but it is difficult for people to do if they are addicted. And people who gamble excessively will do anything to be able to play, even in stupid ways like you said, by putting large amounts of money there and losing of course they will lose all their money, because they are too dependent on gambling. .
Yes, I agree, it's a good idea for us to look for or use our time for good things such as working so we can earn money and be able to meet our daily needs.

To understand this concept is something so important and yet too many people are missing that point unfortunately. If you are gambling to make money that would be the most wrong thing that you could potentially do and you should try to avoid that as much as you possibly could. I believe that the best thing we could do in this case would be just focusing on having fun and if we are having fun that would be a lot better.

I personally only do it to have fun and if I ever win any money that is great, I will most probably use that money I won to keep gambling more and not consider that as income. Anyone who gets lucky few times in a row ends up starting to dream about maybe making this professionally and making more money, however the house eventually reminds everyone that they will always win.

How can you say the poor doesn't gamble for money? Is there anyone that one to remain in poverty? If you don't know what to say,then you switch to some other topic that you can be very good on.As far as I know,everybody who engages in gambling,doest that to make money,whether the rich or the poor,infact the poor tries to gamble more because the tendency of getting rich is constantly on their mind,and they would want to do anything possible to meet up with life.The only difference in this is that the rich gamble with high amount of money,which increase their chances of winning than the poor,who gamble more games with lesser amount because they dont have the means to stake high on games.However,when luck wants to be on their side,they still win.

It is true that gambling can never be a source of income because there is no real guarantee of winning. It should be played as a means of entertainment so that even if there is a loss, it does not affect anything. In the beginning, even if there is some income in gambling, people become depressed if they lose at some point. Although it seems light at first, gambling habit can change people at some point. So you should refrain from gambling for yourself, it will reduce the problem.

We gambled most time not because we don't have sufficient money but the quest to make more money is one of the driving force that do make people to gamble with the aim of making more money but sometimes we don't even get what we intend to because of the outcome we have been getting from gambling. Those who make money from betting should keep doing what they are doing so that things will keep working for them than to relax or delude themselves for no reason. Although there are people that still gamble because they don't have money or insufficient money.

Gamblers who have become addicts are usually more focused on winning and they don't consider the gambling they play as entertainment because for them it is gambling for money and they will look for whatever way they can get money from gambling and can use it as a source of income. For that reason, they like to look for strategies. It doesn't matter what it takes to beat the dealer, even though the dealer will always win against him.

It all depends on our individual views, we don't force other people to follow our views with a healthier mindset, for example gambling is just for entertainment and looking for fun, nothing more than that, I was also like that when I was a beginner where I only gambled. for money by using strategies and looking for tips and tricks to beat the dealer and it turns out I still lost.

Gambling shouldn't be anyone's main source of income. This is because in gambling, there's no certainty. Everything is about the game of chances and probability. If you will rely on gambling to pay your bills and to put food onto your table to be able to survive the daily basis, you will most likely be disappointed in the long run because foremost, it isn't sustainable to begin with. And secondly, it is risky to earn and profit using it. It's still much better to have a main job that will provide for your necessities and perhaps a part time job to sustain your luxurious lifestyle such as buying your wants and funding your hobbies. Then have gambling as your hobby that pays on the side if you will be lucky enough to earn through it.

Look, you've got a point. However, where is the pleasure in losing your hard-earned money when so many people claim they are doing it for fun? Possibly, the excitement of the pursuit is more important than the money at all. You see, when you place that wager, you experience an emotional upswing, a rollercoaster of hopes and ambitions, and the exquisite thrill of the uncharted.

Its a dangerous slope, though, to apply real-world workplace scenarios to gambling. Although both may experience similar adrenaline rushes, the outcomes and stakes are very different. Both of them have the potential to cause job loss. Your life savings could be lost, so be careful.

Why are there so many gambling methods, tips, and tricks available if gambling is merely for entertainment? Why are people so focused on "winning" if everything is just for fun?

Not been financially balance will pushed one to indulged in things ought not to be considered valued, gambling have never put food on the table or pay the bills, rather it settles lesser wants and keeping extra changes in the pocket. Entirely we should not depend on gambling because it's possible outcomes will not favour us and we tend to make ignorant decisions that will end us. We gamble inother to increased the figures on our account is considered clueless because we're keen on losing more significant figures if we don't utilized our useful time in scouting other activities that would generates the necessary desirable outcomes.
