Topic: Gambling can save lifes due to the word inflation (Read 1078 times)

I agree with @Stalker22, the title of your topic is wrong because it's not logical. Even if the story isn't made up and you gave the man some money and he won some more with it, it doesn't mean that gambling saves lives and can be a way for people to fight inflation, if you say so, you are wrong.

Gambling shouldn't be promoted, even when it becomes the reason for someone's happiness, it can be the reason behind many people's sadness if they get motivated by hearing a success story, start gambling, and lose a bunch of money in it because we know how dangerous gambling can be.

So, never say that gambling can save lives and people can earn money to feed their families from it.

Gambling is not done for profit and that is what you should have let the old man understand by not giving him any money like you claim so that he can learn a hard lesson and will never think of using gamble to double his money again.

The rate of inflation is increasing drastically and people are really suffering due to lose of jobs, food scarcity,  high cost of living making many people to seek for help in gambling so that they can get money to feed their families. Gambling is becoming a seek after activities for people both the ones that have jobs and people that don't. Since we want to be making consistent money so we can be having inflow of cash,  gambling has been seen as a good alternative so we can be earning something reasonable even though it's not on a daily basis. Most people get it wrong when gambling thinking that the more they gamble, the more money they could make.

You'll really end up sad when you happen to witness those emotions for those people drowned with gambling losses in physical casino. If I were you, don't dare engaging yourself with that place for a long time because addition is really having a huge chance to make you a slave of that habits. Though others said that it depends on how you control yourself but, nobody could say the final words due to changes of our decision making. World inflation will always cause a significant increase and I believed it's just a balance system of the economy, and I don't think gambling has a correlation to that.

Though lets face it, gambling is a difficult game; your heart was in the right place. Its like providing a band-aid: although it would feel wonderful for now, it wont address the underlying issue. The human mind isn't designed to resist the thrill of a potential win, even if the odds are stacked against us. Though its a basic need, it can have major consequences. Remember; gambling is a business; it is not a fairy tale; the house always win.

Gamble will get much more easily available as technology develops. Therefore, it is imperative to support sensible gambling. Its important knowing the risks, establishing limitations, and never wager more than you could afford to lose. Although your intentions were good, occasionally the greatest approach to assist someone is to point them in the direction of long-term, rather than temporary repairs.

I read your post, and honestly I think its a bunch of bullshit. 

I just wanted to ask, what is the meaning of the title of this topic? And what does it have to do with the rest of your post?

What I want to know is: Did I do a good job by using gambling to save him? Or do I just make him have an interest in gambling as a source of income?

Taking your chances in casinos definitely makes you a gambler. So, I’m afraid I have to disagree with his statement that he is not a gambler when he is there to gamble his money to make it even more significant. If one person sees it that way, he is lying.

I don’t understand the connection between inflation and your story, and I don’t think members here see it either.

What you did is great. You are generous. But the man needs to realize that what he did is too risky although it is not easy. Maybe he even has loan borrowed already and thinking of not borrowing or maybe no one wanted to borrow him money. But if possible he can get a loan from a friend, I think it is the best way than to gamble with the little amount of money that he has with him.

I was in pain today because of the incident that I saw in a physical casino shop. Although I am not a fan of going to physical casinos, I prefer playing my bet in an online casino, but today I wish to go to the physical casino so that I can see other gamblers and maybe get experience, but I end up sad.
 
In the casino, I saw an elderly man crying in regret. I was concerned to know what the cause of his tears was, so I woke up to him to ask, and then the man narrated what happened. The man told me that he works in a construction site from morning just to get something to feed his family, because they haven’t seen food since yesterday morning, so after work from morning to night, the contractor tells them that they will all be paid tomorrow, so he begs the contractor to give him some money for transportation. When the contactor gave him some money, he then had to take a walk to see the nearest casino so that he could use the money and stake a bet to buy something for his family to feed on. After he staked the money, he ended up losing the game. That is why he is crying in regret.
 
So I ask him, does he actually gamble? He said not at all; he just came to try his luck and find something to feed his family. Then I asked him, Can he still remember the mistake that he made when he staked his first money? Then he said he saw no mistake. All that is involved in gambling is luck. I said okay, I will give him money to try betting, because I also don’t have the money that will be enough to feed his family, so he staked another bet. To my surprise, he won the game and got the money he needed.

That is complete bullshit. If you really wanted to help him, you could have bought some cheap food at least within your budget. But you decided to give him some money to gamble more. Don't you know that losing streaks could continue for a long time? I don't know in which universe you are living in. You just made him think that he can gamble with the money and can't multiply his money so he can feed his family. What if the guy comes to the casino again with his entire salary with the hope of winning something but later loses them all? Would you take any responsibility? I don't think you will be there.

I will give him money to try betting, because I also don’t have the money that will be enough to feed his family, so he staked another bet. To my surprise, he won the game and got the money he needed.

That is right because instead have a way of make money from gambling, people can lose all of their money without have a big chance to win the money. They will not have anything and that means, they will not survive from the inflation because they don't have their money to fills their daily needs. They must thinks the other ways to make money and not from gambling because that can waste their money. Gambling gives a big risks to those especially for those who thinks that they can make money from gambling.

They must saves their money and search for the other source of income so they can really make money that can be used for survive. If they can have a job or create a business, that will gives them a way to makes money and use that for a new source of income for them. That will really save life from the inflation.

Do you really mean that a gambling can save life of people due to how this inflation is going on currently in the all world for me I don’t actually agree with that. Because is not that a gambling is a way of success of income which you will say it might change the life in this currently situation that so many people are facing in the all worlds.

Because if you observe some things in gambling is not all people that understand the gambling since is involved of risks and also deserve a lot of knowledge before some can introduce themselves into it, unlike the others the business that with little knowledge some can afford it and establish limitations.
