Topic: Gambling can save lifes due to the word inflation - page 6. (Read 1099 times)

I have a mixed feeling about the old man's action. First he gambled with the little money he had left to feed and secondly he still went back to gamble after the first one failed. I do not believe he does not gamble often because his actions immediately he was given another money says otherwise. His actions is obviously the reason he is very poor. Congratulations to him for winning but such "trying of luck" is very risky and it doesn't end well all the time.  I just hope when next he gambles, he would set his priorities right so he doesn't end up crying again with no one around to show concern.

Nope. You did even worse.

The one thing you never give people that low is hope. And this might sound cruel but I'm pretty sure you all will understand the reason why I said this.

First off, the man's already down on his luck, and out of desperation he saw gambling as his ticket to at least feeding his family for the day, instead of outrightly buying food for the family which would've done a better job. If you weren't there, you think the bloke's gonna be able to cry his way out of a charitable individual's pockets? I don't think so. As cruel as this sounds he needs to understand that there are consequences to stupid mistakes committed. And losing all your money out of it is going to be his.

Another thing, you literally made this guy a gambler. Pretty sure that right now he's thinking either he should gamble more cause he's gotten lucky lately, or that he can gamble and fool people into helping him just as long as he cries and pisses himself in front of everyone, or maybe, and this is equally likely as with the others, he outright quits.

But given the circumstances you think the guy's gonna quit gambling? I myself don't think he's going to. He's got all the leverage he needs and more. Why would he quit?

Take your flowers for being the realest on this thread and the first to detect this BS!!!

What nonsense did I just read, @OP???

You are just lucky that there is no "demerit" option, because the lies and insincerity in the post are too obvious.

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.

If there’s one thing I know about gamblers, they don’t give money to strangers to gamble with. If anything I could see someone placing a bet for him and giving him the winnings maybe… In any event, a nice feel good story that could probably get you an A in a junior high school writing class. I enjoyed it.

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 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. 
 
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?
