Topic: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? - page 8. (Read 7152 times)

Funny comparism but it's the truth anyway not that I truly understand the context of a you going to the strip club and I feels because am the lady but for the fact of gambling when you don't have sufficient amount of funds then hoping that you can make it through that time of you gambling by hitting a good win is something that's is called extreme risk because the percentage of you ending up with zero funds is probably way higher than the latter.

Really it is a mess if one think in that direction because Gambling is an unpredictable event and for such it can't be rely on to make any significant improvement for financial gains, this is why gambling should be taken as a fun thing and nothing more than that, because if you as a gambler have such mindset to make money from gambling or trying to gamble because you need money....


Such approach will only results into a more severe outcome since you are not certain of the ability to win any bets.

I think nobody understands this better than you do and I don't think anyone would have explain better than you have explained. I don't want to go by the statistics but many people here gamble because they want to print money from gambling platforms but we have people that are actually have the money and would just bet if they can also win something but they are not as desperate like the majority that are not ready to lose the small they have.

The rich gamble to win but they aren't always as desperate like the poor people but that doesn't mean everyone is not looking for the money in gambling, any time people I hear people saying they gamble for fun it makes me laugh because I think they are just hidding their inner mind as that's not their true intentions.

Yes, gambling is open to everyone, regardless of social status or economic prosperity. The excitement that comes from betting on games can be felt by both the rich and the financially challenged. Those who are rich may choose high-stakes games where the pot is large enough to change fortunes, thereby skewing the odds in favor of winning big profits. For those less fortunate, gambling may seem like a quick way to earn extra funds even though it usually carries high risks.

But at its core, gambling is not only about money, but also about entertainment and excitement too. Although the approach taken by each person is different, whether it is playing large amounts or small amounts, because in the end the goal of gambling is to enjoy the gameplay and look for temporary wins. Therefore, although each person has a different approach to gambling, the main point is that they can enjoy gambling in the way they choose.

There is always a possibility of losing and that's the crazy part of everything because the more we gamble or continue the session the more it's risky for us to meet to meet that losing spree, what I feel about gambling is that every gambler should just understand the risk involved and the most important, gamblers should be by all means know when to stop gambling.

these days, a friend of mine from the real world contacted me to ask me about gambling, he wanted to know about sports betting, and I told him everything I knew about sports betting and I asked him why he wanted to know about sports betting and he told me He said the reason was because he wanted to make money from sports betting, I was wondering where he heard that money could be made from sports betting? I know that in my country there are many people who place sports bets, but they are people who place many games in a parlay, and see it as fun that they can lose a lot but one day they win, they will make a lot of money. they don't look at sports betting as a source of stable income

But that friend of mine wanted to know about sports betting as a source of stable income and I told him that what he was thinking was impossible. I told him that it was impossible to make a stable profit from sports betting and that if he wanted to make a profit, then he should do some business in the real world that would give him a stable profit rather than wasting money and time on sports betting. I don't need to be a genius to realize that he was irritated by what I told him, but I was telling him the truth

By that I mean that I don't play to make profits, in the few years that I've been in sports betting I've realized for myself that it's useless for a person to think that they would have a chance of making profits with sports betting. People who place bets know that thinking about profits is fooling themselves. The best and only option is to place bets for fun. Of course, there could be days when the person won and other days when the person lost. but the person will not be thinking about profit to pay bills, to get rich. I wouldn't have thought anything of that

in the end of the day if we try to check the balance te gambling websites are probably hurting the poor more than helping them
since most won't be able to manage risk and bankroll and will think way more in terms of absolutes than percentages

sad but not so unexpected.

Op people can actually argue on that because most people have that notion that people that gamble are those that don’t have sufficient  money .gambling as the name implies is not meant for any class of people, it is for everyone both the rich and the poor ,short and tall ,middle class, upper class and many more ways anyone can classify it. However, gambling is not meant for the poor but the statistics of those that gamble are the lower class because they see it as a means of increasing their income . The rich also gamble very well and with huge amount they often have the chances of winning games because they select very few games and stake them with huge amount of money unlike those that gamble because they don’t have sufficient money that select a lot of games and stake it with a small amount .
Lastly , gambling is meant for all wether you have sufficient money or you don’t have sufficient money the core idea of gambling is to have fun and entertain the gamblers .

some people don't have a lot of money and see gambling as a hope ticket, a last resource
that is a big mistake imo and won't lead to a good course of action
way better to find new sources of income and think of different ways than bet it all

even if they in there are great chances they'll deliver the money back at some point, unable to keep it

if you have the last money in your hand, and you know there is no certainty if you will win or lose if you bet on it, why would you waste time gambling? Shouldn't you use the money you have for more important things? What you will do is risky especially if that is really the last money you have, you should also think about what will happen to you once you have scraped all your money and savings just because of gambling? Also think about the other people who may be affected by the decisions and actions you make. It's hard to earn money today, so I hope you can think about limiting yourself to gambling, especially if you have no other source of money to look forward to.

All matters with the desire you do have because each person does have their own takings into things on which they would really be having that kind of mindset whether you would really be playing or skip out because you dont have that enough or sufficient money. In just common sense then why you would really be that playing out if you dont have sufficient money? Instead on making gambling as your last resort then it would really be better that you should be saving up the money instead on taking it as your last shot because you do have plans on multiplying it on your last approach specially if its an amount that you would be using in other things.

Dont gamble on the amount on which you cant afford to lose, if its really that meant for other important matters then its common sense on which one you would really be giving out that priority.
It is really just that there are people who are really that too desperate or really have that extreme gambler like kind of mind. So outcomes or conditions would really be that
just that depending on the decisions that you had made out earlier.

Greed always involves desire and the name of desire will never end in any case especially in financial matters where the winnings generated from gambling in the form of money that we always need and want. In real life the nature of envy prevails and as you said that everyone always sees the position of others who have a better situation than themselves such as in terms of financial situation and feelings like this further encourage them to increasingly act excessively in gambling with unreasonable beliefs and beliefs, hoping that gambling can change their lives to be better and equal to others in comparison.

But it is a fact that it is a mindset that will only lead them to many disasters, I would not say that if for example you do not dedicate yourself to gambling, but if you make gambling as an intermediary to achieve wealth then obviously it is very wrong because after all in gambling it is always about uncertainty in terms of winning, everything is always about "chance" while on the other hand the possibility of losing will continue to lurk you at any time.

Gambling isn't just about trying to make more money; people from all walks of life enjoy it for various reasons, like the thrill, entertainment, or social interaction. While some might gamble out of financial need, others, including the wealthy, do it for the excitement or challenge it offers. The difference often lies in how much they can afford to lose without it impacting their lives. It's not so much about whether the rich gamble less than others; it's more about the reasons behind why people gamble and how they handle the consequences.

Completely well spoken bud, totally agree with all that you said, but then, let's just come to an agreement that the money bags do most of the time, get a better treatments when it comes to bonuses, promotions, contests and other type or forms of giveaways which is usually organized by the casino as possibly a way of giving back to their customers, and at the same time, promote their brand even more, money bags do get a better treatment than the poor gamblers when it comes to this aspect, but then, some of us will still argue that it's all boils down to how much a gambler spends on casino, equivalent of (depending on how they spend) is he or she likely to get back from the casino in times of such bonuses and/or promotions.

But then, Going back to gambling itself, I agree totally, both the rich and the poor gamblers always get the same ground to play on, leaving their respective winnings or loses to chance/luck, but then, where the rich will always beat the poor is in the aspect of the higher amount staked, the higher the winning amount - in times of a win, but also, on the other hand, the poor beat the rich as well when both loses, because the rich will always lose more money than the poor due to their higher stakes.

So, in the nutshell, we can simply say that, the rich potentially wins more, and lose more, while the poor potentially loses less, and wins less as well.

I agree that few are the ones who are able to say "I have enough" but they exist (read about Derek Sivers)
sometimes, and just sometimes, our reason win over our emotion. It doesn't happen a lot but it's worth to keep notes of when it happens.

you think you own your habits but your habits own you.

People are very greedy.  No matter how much money they have, they always look at the position of others, because of which your good position will not be seen well by others.  Again you can't take good position of others because it is our habit.  Our emotions compel us to do so. And our emotions always want to achieve everything quickly, for this panic works in us and gambling sites use our paniciness to make us addicted to gambling and make us gamble for a long time.

yes, the moonshot generation!
it's quite common nowadays to see people that would prefer speculating than working in hopes of a huge win that can turn their lifes around
little they know that money is not the star solution for life and if you find no meaning into day to day you can still be unhappy even if you have a lot of money.

One should not overstep one's limits for gambling as betting beyond one's means will create greed among people which will put everything under pressure. Even if you gamble for fun it is better to keep the gambling money separate so that you don't have to suffer more losses even if there is a possibility of losing.

Sometimes gambling can be fun for anybody as long as they have the mindset of having fun and not to make profits from the games, this has a lot to do with how and what the gamblers feel regardless of they financial state at that time, because gambling have a similar pattern to both the rich and the poor, just that rich guys have more funds to take more risks and attempts when they take gambling to mean cashing out means for them some time it may be the last ticket that gives the winning and that is why gambler may go extra mile to stake again, but on the days of funs one can easily take a leave from your sessions.

Gambling because you don't have sufficient money is like going to a strip club because you don't have a girlfriend.  I'm not sure it's the correct approach.  Sure, some guys get lucky and save a stripper, but most end up leaving penniless with a stain on their sweatpants.  Personally, I think both places should be where you go to spend money and enjoy a good time.  Going into a casino thinking you're going to leave with money is really the perfect analogy with going to a strip club and thinking you'll leave with a girlfriend.  Sure, it happens, but not enough to risk the end of your stack on.
