Topic: Gambling by financial dependents. - page 4. (Read 4202 times)

What about play money? Or use "a wish" as an equivalent of money ? Btw, everyone use gambling unconsciously with kids, when they challenge them in something. For example, parents often do like this "beat me in X, and I will buy you a toy. but if you lose, you will have to wash dishes". This is gambling+motivation and there are no money involved. An on the other hand such people later claim that "they will never show kids gambling, never gamble in front of them, never teach them how to gamble".

I just noticed this a few days ago one of my siblings has been a bad addicted gambler, and I have to come back here to discuss it because it’s similar to this topic he have a bit of stealing and gambling at the same time and my parents has been worried about what is going on on his life. He is not concentrating in his studies at school every time he’s talking about making money making money and one day I ask him this money you are talking about what is your plan on making this money he said he have a game and he starts to even convince me to give him some money to play the game by the time I took my time and investigate. I find out that this guy is so much gambling and it has been a problem to my family.

Well that's the point, as you said that when a person does not put any seriousness and purpose other than fun in gambling then most likely he will not have too much trouble especially in his financial situation, I'm not saying that this type of gambler will not lose but by having a non-exaggerated approach then this will be able to help them to avoid various bad possibilities such as losing large amounts of money or addiction, because their goal is just to seek pleasure in the midst of boring leisure time that they have so winning or losing doesn't matter and they will definitely be able to stop even if they basically lose.

Yes as I said earlier that one of the reasons why gambling cannot be used as a means of making a living is because there is absolutely no certainty for anyone to actually always produce a win at the end of the session, everything always comes suddenly or happens by chance without you knowing what causes you to get a win. So this is clearly the reason why we should not put the intention and goal to produce because it is clear that as experienced by gambling addicts that they experience a lot of problems and downturns due to such goals. I'm sure that no one wants to end up having a lot of problems in their life and that clearly means that you need to be able to control and treat gambling the way it's advised as you said which is to put limits on everything such as limiting the amount of budget, the time of involvement and also the expectations in mind.

There's more to gambling than meets the eye; it's a psychological battlefield. The idea? Easy: be mindful when gambling. The execution? Very little. Why? Because you will lose more than just money and perspective the moment you start viewing gambling as a source of income. The harsh reality is that gambling is a trap for failure masquerading as a haven for easy money

If you can't recognize when to stop, then addiction isn't just a possibility; it's a destination. Being moderate is like having a full lock, door, and home all rolled into one. Limiting scope? That's not advice; that's need for staying alive. If you can't collect your winnings, it doesn't matter how big the jackpot is. Why? Why? Because the never-ending loop of winning, losing, and repeating is a trap that leads to disappointment after promising excitement

Every boy has to grow up to be a man and that involves making mistakes, gambling and all those risky stuff it's what we youth do, it's how we relate to life.

If you observed that he us a responsible young boy then I guess your job should be to advice him not to get addicted to gambling, do it does ruin him at a young age, even better teach him a thigm or two about how to make sure he is on the right part cause from experience you would have little result talking him out of it, so it's better you show him a better way.

This board is dedicated for gambling discussions that involves money and not the other gambling type that you are describing which is “gambling without spending money”. I’m curious if you can give an example about gambling that doesn’t involve money that is still on topic on this board?

It’s obvious that user here will always incorporate money on gambling because money is the only way you can gamble in the casino. Without money, you are just simply playing games since it doesn’t contains risk or simply you didn’t gamble.

He is not a child but I think his mind is not as mature as that of others and he would have no idea about earning money and could not understand the difficulties that comes in an earning way. Once a person start to earn then he can better understand that how difficult is to earn and then to handle all activities with limited amount.

People are talking about money because as far as I have an experience is that almost everyone is gambling just to earn money and if they were gambling for fun then they don't take loan for it and will not make gambling as a Burden for them.

Gambling in front of children is really bad. After growing up the bad tendency of gambling will fall into them. If the environment is bad the family does not have to do anything for the development of the children. But with good environment comes bad environment. Not all environments are the same Children need to be engaged in natural environments to keep them away from gambling tendencies.

Gambling may be a dangerous habit to develop, particularly among young individuals those are still developing an awareness of money and risk. Exposing children to gambling at an early age can make them less aware of the risks involved, leading to an unhealthy relationship with money and risk-taking. It is critical to educate youngsters about the perils of gambling and ensure they understand the risks involved.

I believe one of the most essential things we can do is teach young people about the dangers of gambling. We need to ensure that students understand that gambling is a source of entertainment, not a means of making money. Children should also be taught about gambling's addictive nature and the risks of chasing losses. In addition, we should ensure that children have access to alternative healthy and pleasant types of entertainment. This may involve sports, painting, music, and other creative pursuits..

Instead of gambling for fun, it actually becomes a serious problem where they gamble too much, including having inappropriate expectations. Gambling must be done with good awareness, don't gamble without awareness so that you can consider gambling as a sure source of money. I think we all know how to make money in a good and correct way, not by gambling, because gambling is likely to result in defeat.

with those who have too much hope in gambling and respond incorrectly to gambling, they tend to become addicted and get stuck in that cycle, I agree with you, maybe moderation is the key, also with spending we have to pay attention so as not to get us trapped in an addiction that is difficult to cure. because when you are addicted, it will most likely only make the situation worse, the chance of improving the situation is very slim, and can almost be said to be non-existent. In my opinion, if we do gamble then we must be able to set limits on the gambling we do, the aim is to ensure that gambling is not done excessively, because if gambling is done excessively then what will happen is problems, even if you win, you will be addicted. gambling on the possibility that the winnings that have been obtained could be lost again.

I agree that those aged 18+ are no longer children, but what makes the difference in my opinion is a person's level of maturity in terms of thinking. Age does not guarantee that someone has mature thoughts, so in my opinion this is something that must be approached differently from people who are old in age but in their thinking they are still children. I see that many people aged 18+ are still supported by their families, which means they don't know how difficult it is to earn money. Usually those people come from families with middle and upper economic levels.

Yes of course, gambling is based on money, without money there is no gambling. You are right, there are various types of people in gambling, some of them just want to have fun, there are those who don't spend any money because they get it from bonuses or prizes and so on. With so many types of gamblers like that, I myself can see and read and compare every character of the gambler I meet. It's quite interesting and it's amazing because there are so many characters in each person in gambling.

Gamble for fun in your spare time, not as a money-maker. Really smart. Without expectations, you can enjoy life. This is about living fully within your means, not winning or losing. The issue at hand. I know how to make money, therefore gambling wont get you rich. Nothing more than relaxation. Knowing this puts you ahead. Key? Control. You must have. You're setting yourself up for a fall without control, and nobody wants to be there.

Be moderate - moderation is key. It controls spending and ensures you dont get caught up. What about addiction? Avoid that road. Really challenging. However, setting limitations protects you from regret and lets you enjoy your leisure time. This is a life lesson, not just gambling. Be strategic, in control, and long-term.

Topic was about a 18+ person. He is no longer a child and most likely knows how tough it is to earn money. People should stop acting like «18+ is still a child». At that age people already have great plans for future, as it is time when many choose university to go to and the type of future they want.

Also in topic like, this, I have noticed that people keep on talking often about money. Money, money, money. Of course gambling is built on money, but some gamble for fun, some gamble without spending money. If we put aside money from gambling, then is it really that bad for young people?

These all fall under the type of orientation newbie gamblers receive before venturing into the game. A high number of such gamblers are dependent on their parents for money. Players who work and earn money, at the early stage of gambling, have a reserve on when to stop. Within them they know their funds when exhausted will affect their work productivity. They also need money to run their business or go to work. Hence, the dependent gamblers consist of a greater number of newbie gamblers. Because they also want to be independent and control their wealth as well. Unfortunately, gambling isn't the right place for such a vision, since the funds don't stay for long before it's lost; transient.

Whenever a player or a child begins to demand so much, he should be questioned. The gambling drive in them doesn't allow them to realize how tough it is to make money. It only drags the player to go out looking for means of generating money from relatives and friends. Such naive players, also, don't look into gambling for fun or reading up on strategies that could change their perspective. They also lack a coach who directs them on the right track in gambling. That's why lots of failures erupt from their end. Gambling doesn't care if one is ignorant, once the game is abused the player also gets abused too. In the sense that a player who doesn't obey or observe some important aspect of gambling strategies would get addicted in the long run.

When someone can used gambling to have fun in his free time and don't have expectations anything about winning on gambling, he will not have to gets trouble because he knows that gambling is not a way to make money. He will not playing gambling using too much money, and not too focus to win on the gambling games because he knows that's difficult. He just wants to spends his free time in his daily activities and will stops before his free time is ends. He will playing gambling easily and not thinks about the winning or losing because he realizes that gambling have that two outcomes.

We can't make gambling as a place to earn because gambling itself is not like that and only a ways to have fun in our spare time. And if someone trying to used that as a way to make money, he will needs to be ready to see a losses that can increased anytime because that can cause him getting lose much money. Playing gambling needs to moderately so we don't have to gets any problems because many people already have it and they are difficult to solve. Many people getting addicted to gambling because they used gambling excessively without control their gambling activity so that makes them used too much money and the worst is they becomes addicted to gambling. We must prevents that happens to us by always limiting ourselves when playing gambling so we knows how long we can playing gambling and not using much money like other people.

Yes I agree with your idea that indeed gambling is nothing more than an activity to have fun when you have boring free time without putting any hopes or expectations, but what is unfortunate is that only a small percentage of people understand this, in my opinion it happens because from the beginning they only focus or focus too much on the "chances of winning" which is actually not as easy as turning the palm of the hand, they try to use gambling to change their fate instantly or that means they think that gambling is a way to get rich quickly.

One of the things that makes me unable to make gambling a place to earn is because after all there is absolutely no certainty in producing wins because everything goes randomly, I'm not saying that you won't be able to win but what must be remembered is that because there is no certainty that can guarantee you to win, it means that all wins will only occur by "chance" and also means that there is absolutely no element of consistency in it while on the other hand the possibility of losing always lurks you whenever you gamble. Therefore, I do not understand the mindset of people who try to make gambling a place to earn, and it has been proven as you said that there have been many incidents that we can make examples and lessons that such people end up with a lot of downturns, so instead of earning but in the end they suffer a lot of losses, this must be understood and do not let you go down the wrong path and belief in gambling.

Gambling is for fun and fills our spare time without having an intention to chase the win. But many people trying to win and not thinks about how much money they will lose because their reason to playing gambling is change from searching for fun becomes making money purposes. If they used gambling as a source of income, that will be a mistake because gambling will not gives them a chance to make money instead just losing their money. When someone use gambling as their primary source, they will not make money as often as they wants because gambling is just a fun activity that can't be a way to make money. Yes, they can becomes addicted to gambling if they can't control themselves and when addicted is comes, they will not realizes and will playing gambling without stop.

You're correct and dependants are the easiest to become addicted to gambling, they're not making their own money yet and only depending on gambling to make money therefore they'll be gambling more than they're supposed to be gambling and expose their self to the harsh reality of gambling as there are more gamblers losing money than those making money. Casinos and sportsbooks are using gamblers to generate revenue for their businesses as they're controlling odds to favour them.

No individual should be gambling if they don't have reliable sources of income as then they won't be depending on gambling for income when they have something else that can give them money regularly. Dependants caught gambling should be punished as you can be helping them financially and they'll be wasting the money gambling and not doing sometimes that's more better and can help their life.

You are right, but then, not every one who sees gambling as a source of income actually gets addicted to it, there are still some gamblers who have other sources of income and only take gambling as their secondary or even third or forth source of income, for such persons, they won't give gambling that much attention to the extent it should lead them to becoming addicts.

I have a friend over here who is a hardcore sports bettor, but also working with a company, and own a business center, I am not sure he misses betting on any game in the English premier league and other interesting sports events, but then, he is not an addict, but many people sometimes thinks he's addicted, but I myself being very close to him have studied him and discovered that he is not a addicted to sports betting, as many a times, Ive watched him used money he initially wanted to use for betting, on something much more important that came up suddenly, something an addicted  gambler won't do, they will rather let that issue lay there until they return from their betting spray  .

So, in the nutshell, it might be very uncommon, but then, not every one takes gambling as a source of income actually get addicted to gambling, most especially, those with other sources of income as well..

You can't consider gambling as a source of income as there's a losing part. If you consider it as a source of income, it should be flowing stable to you like a income your earn from working or running your own business. Unless gambling is considered as business to you, you can't consider it as source of income.

I understand why some try their luck in gambling, maybe believe they can win using their skills, that but needs to be proven, and there's a risk of losing that way, so if you don't have a stable source of income, you won't be able to continue your experiment and find out if you are in profit or loss, I'm referring to long term experiment, probably months or a year just to be sure.
