Topic: Gambling is short cut to poverty - page 23. (Read 8606 times)

Absolutely right, and I made the same conclusion one day in my life. No one wants to grow old and know that all their efforts do not promise them profit. And with such a lifestyle, you can’t be calm, you need to invest your efforts in something that is guaranteed to bring results, even if it is not a Lamborghini, but something significant. And I am sure that many gamblers have predispositions to different skills that are guaranteed to bring them wealth.

You are right, when it comes to self control and discipline the government are incapable of doing that because it's an individual thing, the main reason why a lot of gamblers keep chasing the market is because they try to get back what they have lost, this would make them lose their hard-earned money. Like you said wrong decision making and irresponsible gambling habits can lead to poverty, it's your responsibility as a gambler to keep things balanced, stake Only what you can afford to lose.

we should always show how we care about our friends but in a loving way, sometimes this is hard, of course, but truth is better than lying any day of the week
if a foundation of a relationship is being honest with each other it will be easier to solve emotional problems that can arrive
like let's say your wife or husband spending the kids school payment on a parlay

Yes and maybe that's what makes most casinos survive and always manage to get a significant amount of profit every month or year as their income from gamblers who experience defeat.
As you might expect that what this casino does is aimed at keeping gamblers in the long term so that the casino can continue to profit from their business.

On the other hand, from my experience, maybe I would say that as a gambler, usually 5 defeats can be cured with just one win, not in terms of the amount but in terms of the psychology of a gambler, in the sense that even though the number of defeats you have experienced is very large, your disappointment will be easily cured with just one win even though the amount of the victory is not too large, and this is why in the long term the casino always manages to make a profit.

Poverty is a serious matter for many people of the world.

That's why those that are into that kind of living are looking ways to get out of it. And they're having the thoughts that they have figured it out that they might make money out of it.

A poor guy will have to check himself if he's still in the right thinking whenever he's doing things because of this mindset.

People should realize this, because if they were really just that having that kind of thing into their minds then they wont really be making themselves getting busted in gambling, because the main reason on why people do keep on pushing themselves because they do really believe that gambling could give out that kind of chance or opportunity that they could make money out of it on constant manner on which we know that this is really that impossible. It was created for the sake of entertainment and not on making it as an income.

Once that kind of thinking or approach towards gambling is something like this then it will really be creating that kind of stuff on which you do really that believe it could happen
on which ending up for you on being that desperate which would lead up into actions on what which arent supposed to be done.

I have seen persons who work all day, week & months, spending all there earnings on betting with the hopes of enriching themselves or better still, double their earnings, but end up loosing it all, and this in turn have a negative impart on the so called gamblers, their family members also involved and the general public at large. Let me explain. If for instance I spent all my earnings in a gambling section which I hoped of getting some gains at the end, and it turns out negative, I won't be happy because I just lost my earnings, this wil give me a long face, or a sad appearance, affecting my present interaction with either a family member or anybody within me due to my sad state.
So in essence, I think gambling breeds poverty. A gambler may make gain now, but I believe the losses are more than the gains, and at thus, brings perpetual gamblers to poverty. Talking about the government, I don't think they can actually stop or regulate it entirely because, like few persons stated earlier, the government is interested in the taxes. But at the same time too, since gambling is legal, I think it depends on the gamblers to control their emotions when gambling. Spending all your earnings or savings in something that is not certain or realistic as to the final result is to me, a two step at a time to great losses and a date with poverty.

Sometimes you need to be tough letting your love ones know that they are doing something wrong, it's not putting them down but a gesture for them to realize what they've done wrong and how they'll be able to catch up, there's no one to be blame but someone needs to adjust to correct things up especially the person who's involve on it.

If you can't control your emotions then better not to let yourself involve with any types of risking your money, as you may see yourself drowning and unable to bounce back when emotion already dominates, you won't be able to resist and it leads you to lose everything including your savings.

Yes, it cannot be denied that casinos are indeed quite skilled at creating a system that keeps gamblers going even though they often lose. And this is better known as the "Zero-sum game" which is a basic principle behind gambling which means that every win we get is a loss for another party, and vice versa. Which of course is random, inconsistent and cannot be predicted with certainty.

Of course, the casino is very good at managing this expectation, the casino gives occasionally with the aim of maintaining the player's enthusiasm. A psychological cycle that keeps players motivated to continue making deposits and gambling, even though they often lose. Therefore, as players we must be aware of this.

This often creates a psychological cycle where players feel more motivated even though they have lost. In the long run, the casino does benefit from this pattern, and it is important for players to always be aware of the risks and limitations that exist.

Yes what you said makes a little sense, one of the reasons why the risk in gambling is always a part of the game that cannot be completely avoided is probably because the casino has set the concept that when you win then there are other gamblers who lose or vice versa, and that is why there is no consistency in terms of winning, because sometimes you also have to be made a victim by the casino to give victory to other gamblers, it all happens by chance. Seeing this, maybe I would say that casinos are really very smart in making strategies to keep gamblers going, like when a gambler loses then the casino will give them a number of wins to restore the spirit and hope of the players but in the end the casino does the same thing again when the gamblers start to be confident, this is a long-term brainwashing cycle.

I agree with you on this matter, because that is the reality, the victory that exists is the money of those who are experiencing defeat, actually if you gamble responsibly and only for entertainment I think it is possible where individuals will control how long and how much money they have to spend on gambling in each game

That's just it , gambling is meant to entertain not any means of getting rich quick and easy , that's why most folks with the getting rich through gambling quick mentality, usually get themselves rekt in gambling, because to gambling is for fun and if you are lucky to win take the extra bucks you won as a bonus to the entertainment, that's why we shouldn't put much at stake then rather that we can risk and we can easily recover when lost .

I think that gambling does not always become a shortcut to poverty, because for some people it becomes a way for others to make more money, just like well-known influencers who promote gambling using their social media platforms. .

Imagine that for each live stream, the minimum payment is 200$ for one hour, so they can do 10 streams and immediately have 2000$, so for people like them, gambling is not a shortcut to poverty. Is it right or not?

In our world there are not so many free entertainment so everything has to be paid for and gambling is no exception. Those who believe that gambling is an easy way to make money initially has a wrong idea about this area of entertainment. Win in gambling of course you can, but always remember that the winnings are formed from the lost money other players, because gambling is a zero-sum game. 

Gambling can be a path to poverty for people who act unconsciously. But no matter what we are unconscious about, we get the same result. At the end of the day, an unconscious consumer will not be able to repay his loan to the bank. I think we need to address the concept of gambling here. Someone who sees it as a means of enrichment loses. But someone who sees it as a means of entertainment wins. This is my perspective on gambling. I see it as a means of entertainment. I release dopamine control with the price of a cup of coffee.

If anyone sees gambling as a means to get out of poverty, that is where he is wrong because gambling is not for making money but for entertainment and to relief you from stress. Gambling takes more than it gives to you either you are an addict or not. This is the reason why you don't gamble when you are broke or in need of funds, so that you don't lose the little that you aant fo use for survival. Gambling is like the devil that will give to you a cap and take your head. Gambling responsible to avoid unforgettable memories.

True, the conclusion of what you convey means that it is recommended for anyone to be smarter in choosing entertainment activities, gambling is indeed entertaining but of course it will never be free from risk, in the sense that losing money is a certainty but there is something worse than that, namely when you are already trapped in a cycle of addiction unconsciously which will not only make you lose a lot of money but also of course can destroy your relationship with your family due to declining economic factors and can also make you stressed or experience mental disorders due to the pressure of the problems you are experiencing.

This means that maybe I can say that gambling can indeed be used as entertainment but that doesn't mean you don't need to apply any restrictions, because changes in perspective on gambling activities are very likely to be experienced by gamblers even though at first they came just to entertain themselves, so limit your entertainment in gambling and also maintain your awareness of the fact that gambling will still be dangerous.

I don't want to blame them but they should blame themselves and admit that they've done themselves a wrong decision that has become a burden not just to their relatives and families but also to their friends.

As you're saying, if they are our close friends we can't just push them away when they're in need. But learning the hardest ways with how we're going to approach them will also matter as a sign of tough love.

I usually call gambling risky entertainment. Why do I say this? Well, because in gambling there is a side that’s interesting and fun for people and keeps them coming back, but at the back of it, the risk is quite large and can be a source of suffering for many people. The temporary illusion of success created by gambling experiences can over time lead to an addiction that has very devastating personal and financial effects. Here is the paradox. Entertainment gained through gambling cannot be guaranteed. The temporary illusion of success created by gambling experiences can over time lead to an addiction that has very devastating personal and financial effects.

Consequently, the perception that gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment alone is true. When undertaken with complete consciousness and lucid demarcations, individuals can enjoy the positive aspects of it. But without such control and understanding, it can become a rather burdensome ordeal on one's finances and mind.

Pretty sure that this has been already that a long time running kind of approach on which people are really that getting fond of dealing up with gambling not really just that for the sake of fun but rather it is really just that for the sake of making money. They will really be having that kind of approach on which they will really be thinking up that they could be able to make those constant win on the moment that they do experience up some winning on which it is really that just that too delusional approach on thinking up this way. Without having that proper risks handling and emotion control the you will be ending up on having some problems in terms of finances on which you do really come into that moment or  time that you will be making some spending of your funds in gambling like a madman or simply having no control. You will only be starting on realizing things on the time or moment that you have seen your pocket or bank account doesnt have money anymore. This is why its really that important that you should really know at least on what you are really that dealing into.
