Topic: Does convince people to enjoy gambling is a wrong idea? - page 22. (Read 18859 times)

Yeah most people play gambling for fun or if you ask more precisely they play it to get quick easy money (which is not often the case).
People enjoying gambling as long as they are making money out of it and you do not need to convince them to enjoy.
On the Other hand, if people are losing in gambling, they will not enjoy of course and no matter how much you try, you will unable to make them happy in losing in gambling.

How is it that not finding common grounds with your wife and kids would mean you won't be finding common grounds with your friends? Like I said, the difference between family and friends is that you can choose your friends. This means that you can just be in a social gathering for people like you and everyone there will have common grounds with you. Pretty much why gamblers go to casino, to socialize with people like them, people they have common grounds with.

I really would rather find a new hobby or adopt to my wife's hobby instead of dragging her into gambling which we know is very expensive and risky. I can't afford to have her addicted in gambling since we share common funds and her losses would be my losses too.

Gambling and ICO investment are both risky investment because everything has changed in the ICO section ever since November 2016 and selecting the right ICO is not guarantee until the project become a success. The same thing happen when gambling you don't if you're going to win or not but the best thing to do is gambling on register and reputable gambling site.
Meanwhile, the OP shouldn't beat himself up too much because what he have to do is teach the person how to gamble, the basic rule to apply and how to exit the game. With his the person won't be addicted but there are also some people who won't yield to advice and if that be the case then it not your fault.

That is not so easy to accomplish. Normally, if you can't find common ground with your family, I mean with your wife and kids, because those people are supposed to be the closest to you, you will hardly find common ground with your friends either. But if you are talking about relationships with your parents then I agree with you, only I propose to find a wife/husband rather than friends. Try to be friends with your wife, convince her to enjoy gambling (like I did), and have fun together. Convincing your wife to enjoy gambling isn't a wrong idea imo. As long as you know the limits of course.

maybe we can convince people ONLY to enjoy gambling and to become an addicting person in gambling, but this is hard because if they are playing gambling in every day, they have a big chance to become an addicting person. maybe you can always play gambling with him, and you keep reminding him to not playing gambling without you, and if he played the game, he must make a limit of the amount, so he doesn't have to lose all of his money. and you should keep watch on eye on him so he doesn't have to lose control of gambling so he can save his money from the big loss.

No gambler started their gambling for SERIOUS but over time they make themselves more serious and become addicted. If you quick-check with addicted gamblers, you may get surprised because all the gamblers must have getting into it only for the reason of finding extra entertainment along with their happier life. No addicted gambler would have started into gambling because of he was unemployed and poor. When considering these all, definitely convincing someone to get into gambling must be a criminal act.

But, most gamblers are sharing like they got into gambling only because of their close friends or colleagues. It means no one will be ready to join gambling on their own research and need. Because, through out internet there are lots of paid reviews and fake promotions on finding wealth through gambling, but anyone can differentiate them can easily filter out.

When our close friends are suggesting something new still we have heard about that somewhere on sometimes back then surely we may decide to give it a try. This is the exact why why most people are entering into gambling. I like to emphasize, "please never ever introduce anyone into gambling. It is much bigger help than getting them a high paying job".

Gambling is for fun dont make its serious for you not make more looses.Play only when your bored and want for having fun.Live with or without gamblinv to make not being addicted on it.

I get that and sometimes you just don't want to go home because work has become the new "home" to you and your house is just a place where you're constantly being pressured and annoyed by the people you are supposed to love. I guess if you do have that, you should go out with friends instead which you can filter. We were born with certain family members and you can never change that fact for the rest of your life. Friends, on the other hand, you can choose who you want to befriend. Choose someone that destresses you or helps you relax more.

Alright, I was just wondering where it came from since it was just mentioned with no explanation. Just for clarification.

With or without OP's help, the person will still learn how to gamble because the information is out in the open. It's not like gambling is so secret that people have to pass on the knowledge to you so there really is no point in blaming who started it. Who's to blame is the person who continued it which is the person who asked how to gamble. But honestly, people really do think like that. People are blaming those who taught you something and they will forever be to blame (for people) since you can never change the fact that you were the one who taught him. That's why if you don't want any of the stress, just pass on it. You're not getting any benefits from teaching someone how to gamble anyway even when let's say they are going to register under your referral link, it's not worth it.

But at some point it may also backfire to OP. Why? Let's say he/she did introduce gambling to his/her friend/s, family and/or relative/s. Yes, it will surely not in OP's control but the fact that he is like the initiator of it, once, this person did or encounter some problems in the future, it's possible that the blame will be dropped on OP. Though, I'm not saying it will only be on OP, This person did the most out of it so most likely the rest of what he/she did is all on him/her.

In my opinion, Since you OP know the risk about the industry, It's safe if you just explain (convincing is quite complex) it to them but to teach, I guess just pass on it. I'm not saying to be selfish but It's the best thing not only for you but also to those who asked you about it. Though this come in case to case basis, I just look at it as if that person is just starting and wanted to try gambling.

If a person is not interested in gambling then convincing those people is a wrong but if someone asks you about gambling then nothing wrong in telling both good and bad about gambling or teaching some games if you know the tricks to play the game. But at the end, you should do your part saying that gambling is not for making but just for fun and if addict then it may lead to the worst situation and the final decision let them take because if you don't teach them then they may approach to another person.

Its totally not your fault if someone gets addicted because you show them the world of gambling. I have been in that situation before, well not in gambling but always the same situation. I alway tells them that is not my fault because he/she can makes the final decision and not mine. And I'm not even bother because my conscience is clear. If you will have to blame someone, blame the person itself, if he/she lost his/her emotions and decision making, simple as that.

OP already stated that it was his friend that is asking him to tach him to gamble. Also what you said kinda not makes sense. Teaching someone can not result into addiction.
In some other scenario if your teacher taught you to make crochet, would that make you addicted into creating crochet? No? Because you being addicted is because you chose to be addicted. It's not the teachers fault.



I understand why you would suggest that investing in ICOs are somewhat the same when people uses their money in gambling. Both ICOs and gambling have their own risks but I think that it's riskier to put your money on the latter. At least in a successful ICO, you are guaranteed to get profit, that is if you know which ICO to put your money. Gambling on the other hand is a game of luck. The chance of taking home a profit is 50-50 and maybe even lower.

Yes, why? Because you already know that gambling can you him addicted on it that can turn him into worst situation. Greediness can make a person to lose everything you know that. So, yes convincing people to enjoy gambling is wrong.

It is all based on the people who have invest on gambling site. I see the people invested on gambling and made money at the same people invest on ICO and trading by loosing the money. Please go with the good gambling sites especially betting would be the nice option. I go with betting site and make investment much in ideal way. People always be greedy while they invest on gambling platform. They want to triple the money. Instead of that they can look around the best team or player who will win for sure. That idea will work without any loose in your gambling career.

I don’t think it is your responsibility to teach them about gambling because if you teach someone who is not interested in gambling then it would serve no purpose because in the first place they are not interested right? Only teach those who have somewhat background in gambling like casinos or something like that then they’d be interested on gambling too and that’s where you come in.

I don't think , it is any wrong idea , but if the person who is in front of you and don't want any type of suggestion of idea to share by you with him regarding gambling , then surely it will be wrong step by you.
But if the person is asking about gambling to you then it will not be wrong work at any side .
But surely you need to explain them that how to keep himself safe from gambling and also safe from gambling scam sites ( because many gambling sites are available to steal our money i.e give better suggestion of the gambling sites like cloudbet nitrogensports.eu etc ) . And also you will needed to tell him accurately that he should be explained by you that how we can control ourself from gambling and also we should remain in control to enjoy the gambling as fun purpose with small amount of bets .
So if you will explain him/her perfectly in real way , then it will be better job , otherwise if you will tell him things indirectly then I don't think that you will be right at your place .

You are right, teaching and convincing are different. Teaching is like teach a person that really new about gambling, for example like if you bet on sports, you must be confuse at the first, what is over/under, odds, handicap and many else.

The thing is that people are different, what is good for some is bad for others. You are right in theory. Indeed, it is better to go hiking with your family instead of gambling online. But in reality, some people don't have a family, others live in such places that hiking is not an option. And for some people hiking with their family would be more stressful experience than their regular job from which they supposedly should be relaxing.


I think at this point most online gamblers have over 3 years of the experience, so they can relate to the notion. I mean, the longer time span the better for any research, but maybe there are not much people who gamble online over 10 years.

I agree with you, just for entertainment.

In the sense of teaching, we can teach great things to someone specially if you see the person that has a potential to become like you. But destiny is so persistent to test everyone with what they were capable of and your only guide is through your teaching to someone and the rest is up to them on which path would they like to choose.

We can't force someone to do what do you like but you can guide them as their master.
