Topic: Gambling is short cut to poverty - page 12. (Read 6247 times)
For me, gambling always represents the concept that people want to have fun, nothing more. From this, we can make a reasonable conclusion that if there is extra money that we are ready to spend, only then should we sit down to play. The stories that the OP talks about show that people incorrectly interpret the very concept of gambling. Here you do not need to spend your last money, hoping to improve your standard of living. Play for what you do not mind, except to your understanding that gambling is not for the poor; on the contrary, it is a privilege of the rich who throw money around. However, if someone, playing, forgets about their financial place in life, in this case, losing everything and remaining a beggar, there is no one to blame except yourself.
Well, I also feel sad about them but they were the ones to do the path for themselves by gambling and deciding to gamble uncontrollably.
So if their fate changed from having a lot of things and possession to being poor and left with almost nothing, that's really bad but it is them that have made such silly decisions.
What you said is true, it is their own decision to determine themselves to gamble excessively or moderately. In addition, those who experience life destruction, bankruptcy or poverty are certainly the consequences of their own actions in gambling excessively, because if they themselves can limit the gambling they do, there will be no bad impacts. What is annoying is that people who are addicted like this sometimes make it difficult for us, especially if the addict is our own close friend. I really feel the disturbance myself.So if their fate changed from having a lot of things and possession to being poor and left with almost nothing, that's really bad but it is them that have made such silly decisions.
Of course, people who lose a lot of money or even assets are people who I think have high hopes for gambling, because they dare to take big risks by risking what they have for something that is actually not certain.
That's the trouble from those gamblers that cannot control themselves and hardly accept losses. Instead of them in moving on and calling it later for this day, they are not going to stop until they get what they want which is very unlikely but they get more losses instead.
So, the behavior that's being developed for so long with this attitude is not going to do them any good and that's why we see a lot are frustrated gamblers.
that's right, and people like this are said to be gambling is a shortcut to poverty, because people like this will experience greater losses and other bad impacts faster when they don't know the limits when gambling, honestly I feel sad to see people who become poor or bankrupt because they gamble too much, this happens in my environment where I have a peer who can be said to be successful because he has his own cellphone shop but over time his cellphone shop has decreased in terms of available goods and not long after I heard from someone close to him that it was because he spent his profits and even his business capital to gamble, sad isn't it?So, the behavior that's being developed for so long with this attitude is not going to do them any good and that's why we see a lot are frustrated gamblers.
what you said is true, most likely this kind of behavior is useless, but it is very lucky if you can get a win but unfortunately what happens a lot is that people like this tend to experience more frequent and greater defeats until they become poor or bankrupt.

With the scenario you conveyed, I am sure that you are a gambler who has experienced the scenario, my friend, and indeed the scenario is like that, which of course I have also experienced, in the sense that I have applied a loss limit at the beginning before I played and when it turns out that the result is a loss, curiosity and the desire to return the amount that has been lost will continue to encourage you to do a second session and it turns out that the result is still a loss and in that situation, it is likely that a gambler will lose all the money they have at that time.
This means that this is also one of the reasons that a gambler will most likely only be able to stop after they have lost all the money they have. The only trigger for this kind of approach to gambling is because they really cannot be held responsible for any results they get, especially losses, so this is the reason why when you want to gamble, from the start you must assume that the money is gone.
You have correctly noted that this psychological trap worked on me at one time, although not with big losses. I hope you also did not lose much according to the scenario described above. Unfortunately, I was unlucky when I expected it, and now sometimes I think that I am not a favorite of fortune, unlike some, but it's okay. We take our happiness ourselves
and in general, if we had not stopped in time, then everything would be really bad now.On the other hand, my friend, I don't really know whether you or maybe even I really find it difficult to get lucky which makes it really difficult for us to get victory like other gamblers.
But one thing, my friend, this is real gambling, and also this is the reason why a gambler must be prepared for any situation that befalls them, especially consecutive defeats, meaning maybe I can say that that is why a gambler is required to be smart in managing his gambling activities, because everything will be full of setbacks if in the end you are controlled by gambling and not you who control gambling.
The phrase "Gambling is short cut to poverty" is so controversial, as if there is a long path to being rich. If there were a magical, but 100% working strategy how to become rich, people will only follow it. However, even working hard and dedicating whole life to something, it does not guarantee that a person would become rich. As well as there is a chance (and proves) how people became rich in to time, after few click or by accidental luck. With this I would like to bust myth that gambling is a short cut to poverty. Making reckless decisions is a short cut to poverty.
Obviously it can't guarantee that a person working hard for whole life will eventually become rich but it can surely elevate his living standards.
Not everything is about being rich or poor. Working hard or smart can take us a level higher in terms of financial stability.
Similarly, gambling for a "long term" can eventually decrease our wealth and can potentially decrease our levels of financial stability.
hard work and money are not so related as people think
talented gambling is much more related to hitting high than usually taught
that's crazy
but it is what it is
not everyone can see the matrix

As well as there is a chance (and proves) how people became rich in to time, after few click or by accidental luck. With this I would like to bust myth that gambling is a short cut to poverty. Making reckless decisions is a short cut to poverty.
That's why when it comes to investing, the term "guarantee" often is a red flag because most of the scammers are using this word in order to attract newbie investors, but in the end, they will just scam them.It's almost the same with gambling. There's no guarantee with winning because not all the time you're lucky, and we know how big of a factor luck is when it comes to gambling. TBH, I can't blame these people who are choosing gambling to change their current way of living because they can't find a way anymore and even if they work 8 hours a day, that might not be enough for the whole family. It's hard to see people who are looking at gambling as their way to change their living, but let's hope that they will realize that gambling doesn't build that way.
As for the final thing that you said where making reckless decisions is a short cut to poverty, it might be true because most of the time, having reckless decisions ends up as a failure, but there are some who are ended up succeeding on it for some reasons.
If we create statistics of those who took reckless decision ad succeeded, and those who failed, the ratio wont be 1:1. But our life is so full of random, that nobody can predict or guarantee (again guarantees) that specific actions would lead to poverty or wealth. Sometimes people sleep, waste their life, do nothing, and eventually become rich, when others kill their selves while trying to succeed, but end with being poor. In the end I would better say that gambling give equal chances to become poor or rich, because there are only win or lose option in gambling, there is no draw.
Yes, that's right, I agree with your opinion that unhealthy gambling or gambling that has a bad impact occurs because a gambler treats his gambling blindly without any planning, discipline, limits and control, and I think it is very natural that in the end they experience various bad impacts.
In this situation, if a gambler cannot realize his mistake, then of course over time a greater disaster will definitely be experienced.
Therefore, I think it is clear that this is why from the beginning a gambler must know that gambling must be done with great care and various actions that lead to prevention, because when you take the slightest wrong step, such as misunderstanding the winning opportunities provided by the bookie, it will continue to lead to various terrible situations.
It would seem that the secret is simple - you just need to limit your gambling expenses. But as soon as a player loses money in a casino, he wants to get it back. He says: okay, I realized that this is a place where you can lose everything, I'll win it back now and leave forever." After that, he makes a second bet, and loses again. After that, anger sets in. And he wants to win back even more. Yes, gradually the player gets drawn into the game in an attempt to get back his first money that he lost.
This means that this is also one of the reasons that a gambler will most likely only be able to stop after they have lost all the money they have. The only trigger for this kind of approach to gambling is because they really cannot be held responsible for any results they get, especially losses, so this is the reason why when you want to gamble, from the start you must assume that the money is gone.

Unhealthy gambling is caused by each individual who gambles excessively, what often happens is like when they lose with the gambling they do, with a feeling of not being able to accept their defeat makes them want to reverse the situation where there is a feeling of wanting to recover the previous losses that occurred this drives them to gamble again even sometimes with more aggressive behavior than before. In addition, with the frequent occurrence of emotions or greed that occurs, this can also make players gamble unhealthy, when someone has succeeded in getting a win but in themselves there is greed that thinks that they can still get another win then the action that will be taken is to continue gambling to get a big and bigger win. This behavior leads players to bankruptcy because no one knows that victory will be easy to get.
That's the trouble from those gamblers that cannot control themselves and hardly accept losses. Instead of them in moving on and calling it later for this day, they are not going to stop until they get what they want which is very unlikely but they get more losses instead.So, the behavior that's being developed for so long with this attitude is not going to do them any good and that's why we see a lot are frustrated gamblers.

The problem is that, many gambles unhealthy and that's the reason why they're having trouble with their lives.
If they're already well off and didn't managed their emotions that led them to lose almost everything that they have, instead of having this way to money, they've pulled themselves down to being poor and broke.

unhealthy gambling is the result of gamblers' habits of allowing themselves to gamble without limits and without planning. they continue to allow themselves to gamble even when they actually can't afford it anymore. it will be a problem if it is done continuously especially when they gamble almost all of their income, and it will lead to the destruction of life.
That's how it goes for those that cannot help themselves and still think they are able control themselves and the situation. But in fact, they are uncontrollable and on the bad side already.
Knowing how to manage your money is the best counter in terms of taking any risk,
Yes, and for that we must be clear about what we are Looking for , it is not the same to be in a market and go with everything and lose, than to go only with what we should and can so as not to affect our daily life, if we go with everything and put all the hopes in an Investment and if it does not happen quickly then obviously we would be Losing , if that happens it is one of the worst management that we as humans thought we would do, it is not the right thing to do, that is why we Should be very careful with our finances , always consider every detail , and the money in a casino or Exchange is everything, it is the only thing that Matters.
Your decision needs to be aligned with how you set your limits and expectations and not by just following your emotions which most of the time been dominated by greed and aggression.
isn't it crazy how many people are reckless about their finances?
it's just sad
they simply spend like there's no tomorrow and live paycheck to paycheck...
crazy times we live in.
Indeed, there are people who really can't manage their finances especially those who are addicted to something it just limited to gambling but things that really gain the attention of someone who can't control themselves, it's sad that having this type of unbalanced gesture they ended up empty handed, regretting those wrong decisions that they've made as they can't reverse those things anymore. If you failed to control and unable to handle things the right way it will lead you losing not just your money but also your time.

Not everything is about being rich or poor. Working hard or smart can take us a level higher in terms of financial stability.
Similarly, gambling for a "long term" can eventually decrease our wealth and can potentially decrease our levels of financial stability.
That's right.
Those that have true to life stories that they came from money but because of being addicted to gambling, they have lost it all.
It's about the emotion that they have contained while gambling and that's how they have went from being wealthy to poor.
Whilst the other side think that they'll be out of the poor threshold with the help of gambling but it's not goin' to happen to the majority.
Actually, gambling itself will not make us poor or bankrupt if we gamble healthily, such as with the limits set by not having behavior that leads us to gamble excessively, because in any case the main mistake lies with each individual themselves who do determine in the future if someone gambles excessively then the impact and risk are certain to happen, but if we ourselves have limits everything will be safe and under control.Those that have true to life stories that they came from money but because of being addicted to gambling, they have lost it all.

In addition, what you said about emotions is also true, many players forget their limits because they experience emotions when gambling and nothing else usually happens because they cannot accept the defeat that occurs.

I will not be surprised seeing gamblers taking too much risks because of the mere games they want to bet on making some profits for themselves. Every gamblers whether rich or poor want to make money from betting and it is better we take smart decisions before we plan on taking risk that may not worth what we are trying to get. Gambling is everyone's business in as much as we want to earn more in addition to what we have. Even the rich and the billionaires gamblers are not just gambling for the fun but they want to make some crazy profits at the end of the day.

With gambling gaining awareness each day and the population of those gambling increasing it's calls for concern as many has fallen victim to this money sucking game that makes people not to save their money but loss it.
But let's take a critical look at this very sensitive matter called gambling has anyone really made it from gambling, is gambling worth it and if really anyone has made it through gambling can he/she proudly tell the younger ones that gambling is what going into.
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.

Gambling is not a place where people save their money, but rather a reverse way to lose their money. If a person is interested in gambling, and he sinks too much into gambling, he will definitely lose money and will not have his savings. However, we have seen that most of the people who gambled lost their money and faced losses, while very few people managed to win their bets. Only those who are lucky enough to win large amount of money, gamble, but mostly we see people lose their money, and turn into addictions that lead their lives to a standstill. But nowadays, due to the existence of online casinos, most of the poor people have turned to gambling with the aim of earning more money from it and increasing their money quickly. But I think if poor people put their money there for gambling, then surely they will get something negative where they will lose money instead of winning money.
Can he really win in court, as nobody forced him to build? Even if the papers gave him green light to build, as everyone wants to save on building, he has hired builders unofficially (not 100% in that). Nevertheless, the company where that geodesist, who has prepared papers worked, have more money than that broke person and I think they will find a way to proof that the construction was carried out with errors and deviations from standards. When a person is broke, he cant fight corporations.
A little bit of off-topic, but with example of that case, we might believe that everywhere is a chance of random. He might have done soil check-up in other place, or make another analysis. Or nothing wrong might happen with his building foundation and it wont tilt. Random factor is everywhere. And in gambling this factor is even bigger. Due to random, gambling both can be a short cut to poverty and wealth.
