Topic: Gambling Excuses (Read 13576 times)

Sometimes we make that kind of decision without thinking of the consequences, of course that is too risky because there is no assurance that you
will win in gambling, the worst thing that will happen is if you loss what you borrow, that will certainly affect your life especially if your income is not big enough.

That is a very foolish decision to play gambling on loan or your friend’s money. I think that it can only affect your friends badly, because after losing your friend’s money you may not be able to return his money back. And therefore if he will do  demand for his money, then you may not be in position to return it to him which will thereore make disturbance.

At first someone be addicted from gambling then he can not stop himself from borrowing from friends and from other strangers  at least most people start begging really it is true.. 

in my opinion if we gamble using other people's money is not the recommended way because gambling itself has a very big risk, especially if we borrow money from other people to be able to play we can lose everything and have to replace the money we have borrowed. I always avoid such things, if you do not have the capital to gamble you should not push yourself too much

People gamble on credit all the time, I do agree its a no no but it happens quite often people spend what they dont have.    Really dangerous because this is the path to addiction even possible ruin.  Its far easier to stop when the money gambled was excess and part of a budget for an evenings play anyway.

I also think borrowing is a bad mind set and sets up a possible failure in confidence and clear thought that can sometimes help get an edge in a game.    

I know credit cards generally ban gambling and that is a good idea but I've heard of people mortgaging their houses and all sorts only to gamble their money.  Not just casinos but read a long case of gambling on shares and some people take on various risks really unadvised on credit when they would think twice with their own money.   There is a general law in many places to responsible lending for this reason I think

Actually from the bold statement on your quote there it's not the easiest as you say.
Easiest is in fact search for more direct earning options such as on Internet: faucets, giveaways, tradings and so on.

I dont exactly call it easiest since its a gambling... and gambling already has risks

They do know that the house has a higher winning percentage than them gamblers but their mind are looking forward to the lower percentage they have on winning since that will be a high risk, high reward situation. Though we all know the results of this, almost all of them lose and some of them win. It is addictive since it is the most easiest way to earn money, you sit there, you bet your money and hope to win but it dont happen.

Debt in exchange of a house, yes. Debt to start a business, kinda not.

The only people who can possibly afford to buy a house are those that came from a rich family or a business man with a good business. To the rest of us, we really have to be in debt just to have a home. What others do is that they pay the debt with their siblings, or their significant other so they can pay the debt in a shorter time.

For business, it's not really advisable unless you actually do know what you're doing. Just because you put up a business out there, doesn't mean the business is going to make money. Some earns only at the beginning, while some don't earn a decent amount until years after. If this business goes to the trash, you're going to have to pay the debt with your own money instead of paying it with a money that's generated by the business.

Gamblers know that so well. Those who are gambling with a loaned money knows well that he's gonna pay for it later on and regret it.

Gambling has been frowned upon ever since as the majority of people have seen family members ruin their lives (and sometimes even the lives of others) because of gambling. Even with good apples, responsible gamblers, this can not be atoned anymore. Gambling will always look bad unless gambling, all of a sudden, made people rich. This is never going to happen as this will be bad for casinos and gambling sites that are, at the end of the day, businesses.

Gambling is the form of entertainment purpose which involves real money for the more adrenaline but this is kind of addictive so people get much interested in the gambling than they are supposed to be and losing all their money because of their greediness since house has more winning percentage than the players.

Gambling using debt money is already a big sign that you are an addicted gambler and it's really risky. Most of gambler can't control themself on gambling and the worst is fall into debt because of gambling.

I would never advise going into debt for anything except buying a house or starting a business.  When you are gambling you should only risk what your willing to lose.  A lot of us can gamble responsibly but a few bad apples can make us all look bad in the eyes of the public.

People have gone into more debt after going to gambling and have lost all their saving or more. This happens when you do not have self control or discipline in life and want to make money through short cut ways knowing that your chances of winning is less than the owners of the site/casino.

The problem is you can only have your own successful casino if you have money to be use as capital.
Competition is getting bigger because crypto is getting popular as well, if you do not have something unique that will attract gamblers, just don't think to own a casino.

If we are going to look at it positively, then it is good for us to be motivated by having our own casino but it is not that easy for us to win in gambling, we are going to suffer mostly because of our loses, we could be addicted or not but mostly we did. Making a lot of profits for us to be able to have our won casino in the near future seems to impossible if you are not that good in gambling.

I'd rather look at it negatively if I'm losing most of the time rather than to fool myself that I could do it someday, I'd rather discourage people about gambling rather than to say they could make money on it.

It can or it can't depends on what you will be doing with it. Gambling can be a good thing but we look at it in the bad side. Good thing because there are a lot of people that are hoping to be rich easily that means there are a lot of people willing to risk their money on betting the reason it is great to have your own casino, it is great financial solution to be an owner.

Gambling is portrayed to be a bad thing but it always depend on what we will be doing in the end.

No.

I do not enjoy games as much as I used to, so I use gambling as a way of overcoming that and thinking its just "gaming" when gambling. I spend money on gaming like buying pc games or ps4 games and you spend money on that and sometimes you buy skins and what not. However I can just use that money on gambling, I have been gambling for years and for years I haven't really gambled over my limits so now I am just gambling with smaller amounts and when that is over I just stop, that way its more like a "game" to me than "gambling" since I do not get too thrilled and spend more than I can't afford. It was the ability to put a limit and stop when I hit it that really changed my gambling life.

It is not necessarily needed if you needed the money, it is not enough reason for you to risk it on gambling. You wanted some money not wanted to lose money, and we all know that we are going to lose our money if we are going to use it on gambling, there is only a super little amount of chance of winning in gambling every time you'll play.

and what you've said here in the second paragraph is contradicting what you've said on the first paragraph. How come you've said that if somebody needs the money urgently then he could use it up on gambling, it is like agreeing but after that you took back what you have said. Gambling will never be the right way to earn money, even though it is just for fun and entertainment only, wasting money on it will never make sense at all.

Once we get matured we will know how to control and manage our money, even if we have a lot of money that we can be use in gambling we prefer only to stick on budget.  With a lot of gambling sites now that provide an entertaining games there is a big chance where we can be tempted but with discipline there is nothing we have to worry, we will lose but up to the amount we can afford and there should be no excuses

It depends on the gambler. If he needs money urgently then he can risk his money thru gambling it but he must know the risk of it.

Gambling is not a solution for financial problems because gambling is for fun and entertainment purposes only. If we will gamble, we must gamble a small amount only.
