Topic: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? - page 35. (Read 7087 times)

Perfectly reasonable, as casinos or online gambling platforms indeed offer opportunities for anyone who wins while betting. In some games, I believe there are genuinely fair plays for everyone involved, but what makes me feel sorry for those seeking extra profits is the games that are entirely controlled by the casino.

If my goal is profit, I prefer games that are fair, such as sports betting or poker. While there's still a chance of losing, the fairness level is better than that of slot machines. Don't forget to always consider the gambling industry from the perspective of the house, as they also need money to continue operating.

For those who gamble just for fun, there's no need to overthink it. Just play.

Why am I into gambling? Ofcourse I'm into gambling because I'm keen on making extra changes that would pay my bills, probably the irrelevant wants that pops up without notice, not catching up with my primary needs. We're humans and we're never satisfied with what we the system got to offered, always on the verge on accumulating more significant profits our hands could get in our possession. You're absolutely right about gambling during only weekends. Preferably there are elite games played during mid-week days, I often indulge these games.

Which way else to gamble that you don't have to depend on luck @bittraffic. No matter how we try to protect ourselves from lose in the game we are betting by even going for smaller odds, they are still at risk of loss. If the rich guys bet with a huge amount of money for a more easier winning game, they sometimes lose. I have witnessed that severally. Example, a guy lost $1,000 two consecutive times on a single bet he played and not until the third time that he won, so he is still chasing his $1,000 back. Betting is luck no matter how we try to reduce our risk.

There could be a study of this or just a survey whether the rich gamble to make more or just enjoy adrenaline. To me the rich gambles more with precision to make money not with luck. Their gamble is to secure more money which could lie to investing and a sure way to make money than relying on luck. One way the rich gambles with security in mind is betting on odds like 1.10.

Its the gambler with lesser funds who are more prone to riskier bets in the hopes to hit the biggie.

I used to have a friend who worked as a croupier in a small casino. She recounted many different situations that occur in casinos, but in general, all of them happened to people with money, businessmen and production managers. In general, people who can afford to lose a couple thousand dollars every month. Therefore, I think that those who have money mostly go to the casino in order to get more, to play with luck and experience adrenaline. There are no poor people there, they are all working, trying to ensure their existence, they are not up to adrenaline.

I gamble whenever I have the chance to,there are different sports of interest to different individuals,in which they gamble on,mine is Football,and football comes every weekend.During weekends,I make sure I bet on games,whether I have money or not,I just make sure I placed a bet every week.No one gets tired of winning money because human needs are insatiable,what to do with money are much, therefore,it is even good to keep on chasing it whether you have or you do not have.
And I come to ask this question,does anyone really gets satisfied with the little amount of money he gets?I don't think there are people who will say,I have enough of money,so I won't want again.As long as there is a way to making that money, human being will always want more.

The sad part about gambling is you can remain a poor person if you are only focusing on gambling, I know that lots of people want to become successful through gambling but it's almost impossible dream, those who don't have sufficient money always have a weird dream of hitting a jackpot, where as millions of people also have the same dream, and for a smart fellow this mean the chances of hitting a jackpot is very slim.

Rich people do gamble too but they have their strategies, and it's always better than those who have nothing and they keep throwing every penny at gambling with the hope of making big money.

It's for the greater good to gamble responsibly because no one knows what will happen tomorrow, while you are taking risks here and there always have something going on in your life, get a job, have some savings, start a business, and still be a gambler, just do it in such a way that won't hurt you and your future.

Rich people are more financially literate, which is why they are less prone to gambling addiction, as they are aware of the risk and know how to handle it. On the other hand, poor people are mostly driven by the hope of winning big so that it could change their lives. Yes,  both of them want to win, but the poor one really needs it for their life, whereas the rich do it just for fun.

Educating yourself about the risk of gambling is the key to not getting addicted, also controlling emotions, because this is where it starts, like awareness of how long you have been playing, or if you are over budget, then that is the time you will not go over it and stop.

I know that it is easy to say, but this is the only solution, and only you can help yourself prevent getting addicted to gambling.

They (gamblers) need the help of others and it is undeniable that they must be helped immediately so they don't experience a severe gambling addiction. However, when they don't have money and instead use gambling to make money, it won't work well and instead, they will lose that money without being able to make any money. And we must try to manage our thoughts so that there is no incentive to play gambling to make money especially when we are short of money. It is better for us to find a job to make money and that is clearly not related to gambling and we can also have the opportunity to earn money instead of using gambling. They really need to be able to stop the urge to use gambling to make money and divert it by looking for a job that can earn them money.

Looking for work means he is doing new activities outside of gambling and might have the opportunity to be accepted to work in a place where he can later earn money after working. It is true and I agree with you, that by busying ourselves with looking for work, we can divert our thoughts from gambling to forget about these bad desires and at least reduce gambling activities. And if we are increasingly busy doing many things, maybe we can stop gambling without compulsion. And they should do it immediately before it's too late and they become a gambling addiction that worsens.

I agree with you, but gambling does not depend on a person's position or wealth to gamble. I see that gambling has its own class, namely rich people gamble with rich people, while poor people gamble with poor people according to their income or assets. people have. That. But again, where the goal of people who gamble is to win, it often happens that poor people are addicted to gambling, they cannot control their finances and control themselves when gambling and the losses they receive will make them lose all their wealth. money, whereas if a rich person loses, chances are he still has savings to gamble again. So here we work together to be wise in controlling everything in gambling so that we don't regret it in the future.

One of the common things or reasons on pushing them to play even more is that they could potentially or possibly being rich on the time that they might be able to hit up some jackpot and this is only via way of gambling and this what pushes them to play even further without even trying to think back about their financial status which it is really just that enough for them on everyday living.This is why it would really be always that recommended
that you should really be that mindful when it comes to this because if you dont then you would really be making yourself that even poorer knowing that gambling could really make you one if you arent that careful.
Why would really be tending to play more if you do see that you dont have that more money? If you are allocating some budget or fund with that then it would be just fine, just dont make yourself go into the point
that you are already that spending up your life savings or emergency funds because this is where you would be finding yourself getting wrecked and having those regrets in the end of the line on the time that you do see
that you dont have much left on your pocket or bank account.

Agree with you that poor people tend to gamble more. They want to be rich. They want to be owner of much money than a rich man. The real picture is seen in gambling where the number of poor gamblers are high. But because of their limited budget, they cannot take risks like rich people. They can lose that money only once after winning ten times. And to save from this situation only their gambling control is needed otherwise there is no way to release from it. So in a sense I can say that people who don't have money are more interested in gambling.

Indeed, the number is smaller than those who have unlimited finances, but those who are poor also gamble a lot. One of the reasons, and I have also read this from studies, is that they try to get rich by gambling. So, this has become commonplace for someone when deciding to gamble. It doesn't matter whether he is rich or poor. Limited finances will certainly make it difficult for poor people to gamble again. But when they have a money, some of them will return to gambling. that's why I said, as long as he can still control it, it shouldn't be a problem. but the thought of getting rich instantly, greed as you mentioned, will be a trap for them.

I'm not sure about this but from an observer's perspective, quite a few people are on a tight budget, their greed and bigotry towards finance and money is immense, that's the first thing I noticed from them. Plus, the second thing I realized, they are people who are extremely afraid of loss, for people with average and high finances, they have a lot of time and opportunity to start recovering from the loss. While people at a low financial level, their chances of making a comeback are extremely small in gambling, as soon as they lose at the first time, their psychology is broken.

It's the other way around for me, I don't gamble if I don't have sufficient money, it shows that I can't afford to gamble, gambling only come to my mind when I have spare money that I have nothing to use for.

I like using $20 - $30 for gambling only when I don't have something I need money to fix or solve, and this $30 doesn't come every time, so I gamble only when I make this extra money, if I don't then there is no gambling for that week.

I escaped from gambling desires and it was not easy for me, now I have understand that gambling is created for gamblers to lose their money and win very often, this is why I prefer trying my luck more with crypto investment than gambling.

There was a time when people gambled for the purpose of fun as this was also a place of business deals and the alike, but as time went by it was nolonger fun when players were losing money in the process and became clear that it was about the money

And In today's world, getting to develop your casino skills or broaden your sporting knowledge is pretty much at our finger tips thanks to todays technology, and we have consumed so much of this data that we want to put it to the test by gambling and in so doing one makes some money...but is gambling about having sufficient money ?? I don't think so!! Gambling is about having fun and getting paid for your time and knowledge but if money isn't being made and this activity kind of depresses you then exclude yourself from this before it affects your mental wellbeing.

In fact, all people have a sense of excitement regardless of their wealth, so it is not quite right to say that gambling is for people who have a lot of money. Anyone can gamble if they are of legal age and gambling is legal. Skills, habits and psychology of a gambler determine his behavior during gambling. If a person can not control his desires, not rationally relate to spending money, he is clearly better to stay away from gambling, because even losing a hundred times such a person is unlikely to change his behavior. If a person is responsible for money and can restrain himself when it is required, no one has the right to prohibit him to play gambling, even if he is not rich.

Even poor people don't have a problem if they feel they can control themselves so they don't exceed their limits when gambling. For example, if he feels he can play once a week, it could be lucky for him. of course, this is not an advice, for them to play. However, if he is too poor and does not have income every day, preventing gambling is the best choice. Because, hoping to get rich from gambling can make him sink deeper into his poverty.

We need money for gambling, I just do not know how to gamble when we have no funds with us. Taking loans for gambling is not the right approach as it will give us more stress and gambling in times of stress is usually result in a loss.

Gambling is only for those who have a lot of funds and money. Gambling is not for poor people or lower middle class people who find themselves hard to meet thier day to day expenses.

Yes, that's right, and they turn it into a very enjoyable hobby, considering that gambling is vulnerable to psychology and the main thing there is money and also everyone wants money so when gambling is present they seem to find a solution to increase their finances even though the risks are higher than the benefits. Therefore as we know it is very difficult to stop there, because our minds always push us unconsciously, in my opinion they (gamblers) need help from others, because it is unlikely to do it alone unless as you say they have a strong intention to stop.

Yes that's right, I've also said that before, which is more realistic in my opinion you have to find new activities such as adding work to every day, the point is they have to keep themselves busy and put a little free time, because if you have a lot of time then gambling will continue to visit you. That's right, it will be useful to distract their mind, and slowly they will be able to forget their bad habits. On the other hand, I often see some of them come to make money and not for entertainment, obviously that is very wrong and someone has to justify their thoughts, how can you make money from actions that are based on luck alone, it's ridiculous.
