Topic: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? - page 39. (Read 7205 times)

Great bro, the explanation is quite detailed and thank you.

I just want to advise not to gamble occasionally if you don't have good self-control and a good understanding of gambling.

When someone is addicted to gambling they will never care about limitations and needs other than the need for money to play gambling. Even though this gambling is just a game for entertainment, if you don't have good control and skills, then gambling will have a serious impact on your life. The pleasure you feel in gambling will only bring you to the valley of misery.

Rich people can fall into poverty because of gambling addiction. Especially when poor people are addicted to gambling, they will only suffer more and more.

Obviously yes because the percentage of rich people in this world is lesser than the middle class so let's say 10% of people are rich on average it doesn't mean all the people who gamble are middle class so they can increase their financial status by making some money.

People gamble for only one reason to make some money but if their intention is to become rich with this strategy then they are stupid, it can give you a win sometimes but a loss on the other side mostly so it same goes for rich people too but the only difference is rich people can top up their casino balance with no worries which is not the case with others.

I think the goal in gambling is to get a lot of money and where the rich and the poor are in the scope of gambling. because if someone is already addicted to gambling, they will not think long to spend it. even though they already know for sure the risks that will come. but people who play gambling certainly try to win and avoid defeat, because in gambling it is difficult to predict that we will always win.

On average, gambling is the most popular among the lower middle class, most of them hope to make money from it by trying their luck.  Rich people are involved in gambling just for entertainment, they prefer investment than gambling
Therefore, gambling addiction is more from the lower middle class than the rich

I used to think like this too in the past. But later I realized it's not related. I'm sure you actually know this too. How your winning or losing can be related to your thoughts and intentions? So, sometimes, when we eagerly want to win - we win. It just so happens. Still, I think it's good to keep in mind that wanting to make some extra money through gambling isn't a good idea. You should always be ready to lose what's on your balance instead of planning to win more.

Well, it is a subject that has to be known how to approach it, when it comes to a person who is poor, obviously they will have their limitations and that a loss can mean something very serious in their life, then this is something that must be considered, however a person who is Rich, you can spend your money more liberally and in terms of spending you can do it as far as you consider because it will not affect you, unless they are very high money expenses, but I don't think the times are that high, and if so Well, it's the only way I see that it can affect you.

If we are going to think that a rich player has more liberties than a poor one, then I would say yes, the liberties are obvious, when a rich person spends a lot of money, his comforts remain intact, and whatever causes him to eat, he will buy. without any problem, the bad thing is that some players who are not so wealthy, when they bet more than normal, commit the money they have to cover basic needs and that is where the error lies, especially when you have a family that is all dependent of that person, it is something that should not be done and for that there must be self-control. In fact, a poor person is the one who should have and be the most intelligent and with self-control, not only in a path but in all activities, because it is wrong that they have , a mistake that will be very catty, so you must take care of this type of thing so that the expenses decrease , the economic capcaides do influence our lives and even more so if you enter a Casino where it is practically understood that the people are the owner of their acts and the degree of responsibility must be very high.

There are people who lose control being rich and poor, the sad thing is that a poor person loses control of everything and cannot do Anything right and everything is a mistake, like falling into addiction when he has no way to support himself, apart from being a father family, if that is the case, that is when he should be more Responsible and if he sees that he cannot play, then he simply should not invent, because he does not have the capacity to respond to anything.

That is some kind of boredom you create for yourself,you cannot always win in gambling and if you keep playing in your day off instead of relaxing you can become more tense if you have a bad losing session,this will make your mind in a mood where it won't perform very well in the upcoming week in your work.

I think that most people gamble not because they are jobless or from 3rd world countries where I agree gambling is more heavy and in bigger percentage but because money is never enough as that saying says,so there is always a good reason to gamble to make some more money.

In my opinion, rich and poor are not sufficient as a benchmark, for them to risk large amounts of money.
when someone is addicted to gambling, they will use any money to be able to play. If rich people will spend their wealth playing gambling, then poor people will continue to look for and justify any means so they can get money, including by committing robbery or other crimes in order to get money so they can play gambling.
As long as they have self-control, even rich people will be able to manage their finances to play gambling and will not want to gamble large amounts for something that is uncertain.

The purpose of gambling is to make money,and to make more money,and I think that should only be the reason why one should Gamble,and any other reason that is not for the purpose of making money is not normal.The first day I gambled,I had one thousand Naira,and I needed to pay my school fee the next day,at that time things weren't too ok for me,so the only option I had was to take a risk and gamble with the last one thousand that I had.I played soccer virtual,and the very first hand I payed with the one thousand,I won 10,500,I was so happy but the money won was not enough to pay for my school fee,I still needed more 40 thousand naira to complete up the money so I could go,I started playing more,till they won all the money back,I didn't win any other  one again,I was so furious while I was going home,but since that day,I couldnt stop gambling again.So in my own case,it was simply because I wasn't financially bouyant that made me Gamble.

To be honest I think most of them got into gambling because they saw some big prizes provided by the casino, they had financial problems and when they found out about gambling they most likely thought that this is a good opportunity to multiply small money into huge amounts. I see a lot of people doing it for this reason, the lure of gambling has changed the mindset of people without them realizing that there will be a lot of losses that will come to them including some significant mental effects that they will feel. The point is not to be too ambitious when you see something that seems very interesting, look first at the risks involved and see how other people feel the impact of this gambling.

I don’t think so. Maybe on some cases, jobless seek gambling as source of income as alternative for being jobless but most of the time especially 3rd world people doesn’t afford to gamble since they will just use the money to buy food and other things that they needed.

Most of the people that gambling are those who don’t have social life and want to enjoy during their free time. I’m gambling because I’m too lazy to go outside during my dayoff.

He is just a guy friend that feels insecure because I think only people in that category have this sense of belonging and at the end, there lifestyle is not always real but fake as they will always struggle to meet up with the standard of living with people in that level.
They always want to impress and the society they are impressing doesn't give a damn about them, once you die today, the world wouldn't know or felt it, only your family do and even them is just for a while, after that, the earth will remain the same and will continue to revolve round the sun.

I think job scarcity is one of the problem why people gamble to make money, if there are jobs and skills needed, people will do everything in there capacity to earn from there instead of running before 50;50 chances that you may win nothing in the end.

The fact is that we have this mindset that it is the poor and the average are people that gambles because those are the people of our caliber,and we always discuss our gambling events and activities with them. Most time we see a poor man that can't control himself will have a big loss and the person will be lamenting everywhere into our ears with his loss and when he also wins big he disturbs everyone with his wins.

A rich man can gamble and he losses more than the poor man because he do stake with a huge some of money. If he losses,how will you know that he lost. You will never know because he doesn't go around telling people about his loss but instead he has a business that will cover his loss. Gambling is for all,there are big shots that uses the football matches to gamble with their assets.

Not everyone is lucky enough to win big from gambling so no one gets rich from gambling. Gambling is an entertainment place where one can spend his free time with fun. A game always gives us fun but when financial aspect is attached to it then if we can win something from it then it is a lot of joy for us. Again, even if we lose here, our emotions work, so gambling always gives us a different experience. And I gamble because I get the fun out of it

To be honest, I think the same that people who are not already rich or lets say the lower and middle class ones are the one who gamble the most.
Why they gamble can be tricky because some think they gamble for fun while others think they gamble to make more money.
That can be debate in itself but those are the ones which the gets the casino more profits.

Yeah, you are right, mate, such gamblers do exist; they only have an interest in gambling when they are out of money, and they only think that gambling is their only hope. I had a similar experience while in college, as things were a bit difficult and I was hoping for some money from my parents, but it did not come exactly when I was expecting it, so I just decided to use some little cash that I was left with to bet on a football match that day. I made some possible predictions for about 20 clubs, and the match was supposed to run for about 48 hours. After staking, I just kept observing the match through out that day until the next day, the day the match was supposed to end. Mahn, I had a cash out of about $180+, so I just had to cancel the game and make away with my cash out. That very bet that day was just where I rested all my hope. So, I believe there are some individuals who just gamble when they need money.

Many people get involved in gambling out of curiosity, so they try to play gambling in casinos, offline or online. This is the beginning for him to play gambling so he must be able to realize that if he is too deep or too long playing gambling, he can become addicted to gambling and will forget other things that are more important to do.

But if the reason is not having enough money, then a person is gambling, that is not a good reason because he can lose all his money at the gambling table. He also wouldn't be able to win some money because gambling is not a place to make money. This must be understood by people who have not started gambling and they should not need to go to any casino, including online casinos to gamble.

read the high roller the money they have or the winning money they get is not a big amount but from a certain point of view it is a very high amount and we imagine it can provide a better life for other people but I do not think that the concept.

when it comes to high rollers for fun or for a steady income its a little hard to see because it a strategy or an individual goal that hard to analyze. but there are 2 possibilities the first one because indeed that person is very rich and bet $100k just like us bet $100 so its not a big amount for him so keep betting big like this forum user who shared his bet in another thread and Im sure you know it. and for the second possibility high rollers are betting huge amounts to get a side income from gambling like for example right now the gambling site that on our signature is doing a birthday event on this site with a huge $10 million total prize pool and lucky people with total bets big will get a ticket to get the prize so the high rollers bet a large amount to get the prize.

Very much agree with you bud, there is this saying in my place that when a crayfish decides to follow a shark simply because the crayfish loves how big the shark is, there is a high chance that the shark will one day turn around to eat the crayfish, or some other sharks from behind will eat the crayfish.
There have been times I tried copying high rollers, and after losing $3 whole fu*king thousand dollars to a single bet, i woke up two days later in a hospital, fortunately enough, my family, that is my wife and kids did not actually know what happened to me, they just thought assume I was sick and also believed what the doctor told them that i suffered a high blood pressure, but known bothered to ask me what caused a such a sudden high blood pressure, the doctor only told me to stop thinking too much, if my wife had known that i gamble, and also losing $3000 dollars in the process, the story would have been different, and wont be nice to be honest..

High roller sure have assets and businesses financing their activities in gambling, this is why it is very detrimental for someone who has  not same to try to copy and play like them.

Yes, because most of us always think that gambling in casinos is a place to make money as a source of income, even though it's clear that they have prepared a lot of games on their site just to make people look for fun not for money, sometimes we need to spend a little money to get fun, that's what is called the right gamble, gamble responsibly and enjoy the game.

The average person who thinks that gambling in casinos is excessive, is always blamed and they take money while they don't ask and force us to gamble at their place, but we are the ones who come to them with high hopes of being able to get money by gambling, just try to change patterns think about that i think we're not going to blame the casino too much as intended. they just run the business and we play. that's the system
