If you have a target to win, then it will only make you have pressure and may be depressed if the result is a loss. So, if your goal or target in gambling is just fun, then you will not prioritize about the results. But, if the result is a win, then of course it will make you will get more joy because it may be like a jackpot, which is received suddenly because it does not have a target to get it in the first place. But of course, it might also be good to make you avoid bankruptcy, because people who do not have good consideration and have no responsibility, they will continue to bet until there is no more money left which makes it worse.

Yes, that is the ideal, but based on the things that should be done when we are in a casino, we are going to have fun, but when we are playing we want to win, and that advantage is sometimes what we must handle, that is why I always before playing, before leaving my house or Sitting at the computer to play in a casino, I have how much money I am willing to spend in that casino, and I do not go over there, because if I go over I get out of balance with my finances , it is not that I choose a large amount, no, it is small but it is significant to me, because I stop going out and eating a hamburger or pizza to go gamble.

Anyone that gambles responsibly doesn't have anything to worry about because he is in control of his actions unlike the gambler that's obsessed and addicted. When it gets to that point where a gambler has to take loans to gamble it's obvious that it has become a dependency issue, sometimes gamblers who do this don't care if they win or lose they only care about satisfying the urge to gamble, it's like a drug to them. Gambling has existed for a long time and it isn't a threat to you unless you let it, responsible gambling is the only solution to this.

Right. But some people suggest others gamble when they need money. If you are active in the lending section, you will see a lot of people taking a loan with the reason "Personal." I assume most of them spend their loans on casinos. We saw a thread on the reputation section a couple of weeks ago. A forum member who regularly took loans to gamble at casinos recently created a thread about it.

He was suffering from a gambling addiction, and now he is unable to pay back the loan on time. A believe there are a lot more similar cases where people gamble and lose their money. They should be responsible and stay away from gambling.

Having the mindset that gambling is a shortcut to poverty is not bad only if we have a good strategy that will be able to be making money for us. It is not easy for every gambler to be making money from gambling and that's why we ought to bet on games that will give us profits not random games that will give a little profit and game the profits back from us.
People that do not have a job or something doing that will always keep them busy are the ones that will always end up having gambling addiction and other complicated gambling issues.
Maybe the bad thing is having a mindset that gambling is a shortcut to success or wealth, this kind of mindset is what I think many people experience whose lives are ruined by gambling because with this kind of mindset they tend to become someone who is addicted to gambling by ignoring the risk side which is clearly more likely to happen compared to the opportunity to get profit in gambling.

In my opinion, there is no game that will give us a definite advantage if it is gambling, all games called gambling have a greater chance of losing than winning.

I wouldn't say gambling is meant to be for the rich people, but I totally agree with the notion that poor people shouldn't gamble, that's for sure. Poor people when gamble they risk everything they have hoping to to win some big money, they don't think of gambling as entertainment, rather they think it can help them to make money. People who think like that shouldn't gamble at all.

anyone can gamble, of course, but if you have more disposable income it'll fit you much better than if you don't
the problem is that it is exactly the most vulnerable people with low income that end up getting to gambling with the hope of making it, but with really little knowledge on managing risk and taking care of their own emotions...

it's a crazy world

Yup I agree with this one and it means the biggest mistake of gamblers is when they use gambling as a medium to overcome problems they are having outside of entertainment such as financial problems, most of the gamblers who are now experiencing the bad impacts are those who come by prioritizing money as the main goal and I think the reason is clear that behind the scenes they are having problems with their finances such as those who have low incomes or those who are in debt for example, so I quite agree with your opinion that the majority of problem gamblers are those who associate gambling with their personal financial problems.

oh, this is the worst situation
same with drugs and sometimes even other everyday things like food or sex.
Prioritizing money for a while may be ok but remember that when you make enough (and this is a different number for each person) you have to simply say "that's enough" and to stop playing and to find a work that gives you meaning and happinness and decide what to do with your time and energy here in this planet.
when you have financial buoyant and you have issues that depressed you can't believe can make you to forget about such depressed because once you remember gambling and the make your predictions you will not be thinking of that stress on the problem you'll be thinking of your gambling but the thing is that is good for someone who is financial to do that knowing that when it lose it will not affect it life or add for the initial thinking or problem that is undergoing but when you have the money and the you know that when you lose it will not affect you I think gambling can be one of the day that relieve a depression whenever you are depressed that is why there's a gambling is a part of entertainment and his meant for rich people but the process whereby you are not rich and they have issue and you go to gambling for me I will advise you not to go into gambling because it will add for your problem because you cannot resist two things at the time

A lot of people who are dreaming of making it big in gambling do not even have the ability and capacity to handle such big amount when it comes, and when/if it eventually does, they squander it and in a matter of time, they’re back to nothing. Gamblers should really learn to set realistic expectations when gambling as this is the major problem most gamblers face.
You spit truth there.

These gamblers that don't have the capacity to hold and manage huge amounts are likely to go back to their former way of living.

So, even if they have won a hundred thousand, a million or any other huge amounts when they can't handle big amounts, they're likely to spend it carelessly and waste it all.
Habit of people out there when they have large amount of money from winning gambling, they feel that they will never run out of money even though they have spent it on various desires that previously could never be fulfilled, they also feel that getting money is so easy that they think that if money starts to run out they can gamble again.
Everything will depend on the mindset of each individual, people with clear mindset will certainly be able to manage everything well and even prioritize being able to get long-term benefits so that they can have much better survival until old age, but unfortunately some people only care about momentary pleasure.
It is true.

When people have won significant money with gambling, they all think that they're not going to lose it anymore. All they want to do is to make use of all that money they've won.

And that is because they think that they're already rich and they will never run out of money again but that's the wrong thought that they are stocking on their minds.

Gambling is like a double edge sword and it's consequences depends on how gambler handles this sword.
I would say it doesn’t depend on the gambler. Rather, it depends on the luck of the gambler which side he gets. Gambling cannot always be a key factor in getting into poverty. If you gamble in limit and gamble that amount that you can afford to lose, then you can definitely manage the amount you lose. Now there are some people who gamble blindly; they completely trust in their luck. But as there is no proper planning, hence it might lead to poverty.

IMO it's the same buddy Cheesy, in gambling that depends on luck is only the result but when we talk about long-term safety then of course it depends on how good and smart a gambler treats his gambling activities, as said by @Watche that the consequences of gambling depend on how a gambler handles his gambling activities. Basically everything that is done with full limitations such as limiting the amount of money bet or the time sacrificed or the expectations involved all depend on the gambler themselves because only they determine everything, but I also will not close my eyes that what you said is true about gambling that must be done with full limitations.

Gambling is like a double edge sword and it's consequences depends on how gambler handles this sword. It's meant for entertainment but many lose lots of money by getting addicted to it. If one can keep his emotions under control while gambling then he won't lose much in gambling. You are right that it's there for centuries but not every gambler is bankrupt rather the one who got themselves addicted to it. Taking loans for gambling is the worst thing a person can do and if a person has gone too far in gambling then its very much sure that he has lost control over his emotions.

Infact gambling has made many to go broke and live in poverty many has lost their life savings and even pension in gambling, I am of the view that gambling should be controlled by the government of each country and that there should be a maximum amount of money one should use in gambling.

Do you know that there is something called responsible gambling? We all know how bad gambling can end up. Gambling-addicted people even take loans and sell their assets to gamble more and expect to win something big which will change their lives. Even if they win something big, the addicted people will gamble more to make additional money. Unfortunately, that is not how it works.

I don't think the government would be able to control the entire gambling industry since there are a lot of unregulated online casinos. The government can't monitor the casinos. People never reveal their wealth in casinos. Even if they are broke, they will act like they are rich.

Anyone that gambles responsibly doesn't have anything to worry about because he is in control of his actions unlike the gambler that's obsessed and addicted. When it gets to that point where a gambler has to take loans to gamble it's obvious that it has become a dependency issue, sometimes gamblers who do this don't care if they win or lose they only care about satisfying the urge to gamble, it's like a drug to them.

Gambling often presents itself as a quick path to wealth, but it tends to be a shortcut to financial ruin if one becomes addicted or irresponsible. With more people being drawn into it every day, it’s becoming a serious issue that affects not just individuals, but also their families and communities. Most often, gambling leads to heavy losses, leaving people in a cycle of desperation, especially if they always expect to win and believe they will succeed by imitating others' strategies.

That's something most people don't understand, there's no quick path to wealth, whatever is gotten easily would go easily that's just how life is. This is why people that won millions from gambling still end up going back to square after a long time because they took an easy path. I sat down one day to analyze and calculate what I spent on gambling through out the year and also calculed what I won, I found out that I was the one that actually lost a huge amount of money. It might take a lot of time to realize that gambling is actually a losing game.
It takes a long time to reveal the true nature of gambling, but it seems that after living with it for a long time, the participants also forget that this is a wild beast, no matter how hateful this ugly face is, they still dedicate their efforts and youth to it. The gentle implication is to return to the starting point, the strong implication is to destroy the starting point to retreat to lower positions once gambling, instead of mistaking this as a shortcut to wealth, correctly perceive it as a huge detour, and once you go around it, your youth will fade and never return.

A persons choice on whether or not to gamble is theirs and theirs alone, the poor should not go into gambling as a means to make it big, such an obsession can be blinding, leading to the person loosing everything thing they have.
In fact, in this world, there are many poor people who gamble and they are ambitious to get rich quickly. The bonuses given to the winners are indeed not playing around if someone is lucky in their game, therefore many poor gamblers are tempted by big wins. In fact, I rarely see rich people gambling to get richer because most of them use gambling for entertainment, so the conclusion is that anyone should not use gambling to get rich quickly because gambling is not a place to invest.
In fact, those who are rich basically have no shortage of money, so they do not give priority to money, but prefer gambling to entertainment. Even if rich people win big lotteries or hit the jackpot, it doesn't change them because they may not use the jackpot money for their business but they participate in gambling because they prioritize entertainment.
But if poor people get a big lottery or jackpot, they can change the situation and have a chance to become a rich businessman or entrepreneur. That's why rich people have the potential to become rich by making huge gambling profits, even if they don't change their circumstances.

But in reality the number of such lucky people is very few.  However, over-indulgence in the hope of the jackpot is more likely to lead to bankruptcy.
In fact, this kind of perspective makes it more likely that a poor or rich person will become addicted to gambling. Because the main purpose of gambling for such people is to win a big jackpot, or to get 3X or 5X return. And they keep gambling in the hope of this, as a result they fall into addiction.
But those who are rich, do not have any shortage of money, rich people often gamble for entertainment, And they gambling with that money, which they intention of losing.
So in the case of a poor or rich gambler, gambling outside the realm of hope in the hope of big profits can lead to big losses, although sometimes some people suddenly get a jackpot and their financial situation improves, but such lucky people are very few.
So poor or rich people should not enter risky places like gambling to improve their financial situation, do good deeds and earn money honestly, and see gambling only as a form of entertainment.

Those who are trapped in poverty often make gambling an outlet, and it is even undeniable if they have ambition and obsession to be able to change their standard of living with gambling, when in fact they also know that the risk of gambling is actually very large and can make them poorer, we cannot deny that those who are rich are smarter in managing finances and also often think more realistically in achieving wealth with way of investment compared to gambling so far, maybe gambling can be entertainment for some of us, but still we have to do it wisely and responsibly.
A poor man shouldn't gamble because he wants to make a fortune from gambling, otherwise, he will become wretched because gambling will take the little he has. If a rich man run at huge loss, he can recover back the money from his business with time but if a poor man run at big loss, he will be frustrated and depressed which can lead to suicide.
But we are indeed seeing the opposite on which poor people are mostly the ones who are really that trying out to gamble just because  they are really that wanting to get out of poverty and the easiest way on doing it will really be that gambling on which it is really indeed possible but the odds or chance of it happening will really be that so slim or close to impossible. People do really become that desperate at the time that they are trying out to thrive into something to make it happen. Gambling could give it out that chance with less work and effort but speaking about extreme luck then this is something that wont really be happening on most gambler or people. If it turned out that you have hit up some jackpots then consider yourself to be an extreme lucky guy.

anyone can gamble, of course, but if you have more disposable income it'll fit you much better than if you don't
the problem is that it is exactly the most vulnerable people with low income that end up getting to gambling with the hope of making it, but with really little knowledge on managing risk and taking care of their own emotions...

it's a crazy world
It's easy to say about the crazy world. I was one of those people who played until the last cent. There wasn't even a small amount left to buy something. This gambling world is very dangerous. I don't recommend playing for those who have very little money. will lead to the fact that there won't be any. The poor play games much more often than the rich and there are many more of them. I remember not only myself, but also other unfortunate people who were not aware of their actions. It was a hard time.

It's a free country, the government can dictate how people use their money. Some waste their money on alcohol and prostitutes, some even spend it on illegal drugs. The government can only suggest that people use their money wisely but they can't force them to.
Gambling is not the problem to me, it's the person who has no self-control that's the problem. You can't eradicate or restrict everything because some people can't control themselves. There are many other things that people abuse which can't be limited.
If a person feels he can't handle his money or control himself, he should just hire financial managers or whatever if he's rich enough.

One major problem people have in gambling is that they see gambling as a means to get out of poverty. With that kind of mindset, if you're not careful you'll be addicted. See gambling as a fun activity that can earn you little money but also understand that you're chances of winning are way lower than your chances of winning.

You spit truth there.

These gamblers that don't have the capacity to hold and manage huge amounts are likely to go back to their former way of living.

So, even if they have won a hundred thousand, a million or any other huge amounts when they can't handle big amounts, they're likely to spend it carelessly and waste it all.
Not all gamblers happened to have sprang up from the ashes, some were born with a silver spoon but, could be met by some irresponsible gambling and eventually acquire poverty or a struggling life, addiction and survival.
Gambling inst exactly bad but , gamblers themselves are the ones that are bad.  This is in the sense that, people no longer follow gambling rules.

We have underage gamblers whom are well aware that they shouldn't gamble
We have those that gamble more than they can afford to lose,
We have those thatare irresponsible in their gambling habits and finance management.

Of course if you don't stick by these rules, you could be hurt.

You’re right and we never mentioned or tagged gambling as a bad or evil activity, while some people gamblers meet their doom in gambling due to their irresponsible gambling behaviour, there are also those who are happy with their gambling habits, as they get the chance to have fun while at it and still make some good money from it sometimes when luck is on their side. How gambling influences a person is determined by their attitude and perspective of gambling, and I’m sure those who believe or term gambling to be bad are those who gamble without following the rules and those who knows absolutely nothing about gambling but have seen or heard about its negative impact on irresponsible gamblers.

Yes not all gamblers are poor or born into poverty, but sometimes you should know that having the capacity to manage huge funds has nothing to do with your financial background, the fact one was born with a silver spoon doesn’t mean he’ll magically know how to manage huge amounts when they see them, yes they could still misuse and squander it without doing anything meaningful with it.
