Topic: Gambling is short cut to poverty - page 3. (Read 6100 times)

I understand, things are like that when some things are wrongly assumed, for example I personally say something, the game and trading have something in common that very few people know, and that is that if you look at it as a business it is possible to be profitable, yes, that is, if we have small profits during the day, we should leave it there, we cannot insist more, if we win 4-5 usd during the day, we should leave it there, because if we play frequently and accumulate small profits our balance will always grow, not much, but it will grow, that is the important thing, the key is to add not subtract our money.

It's a trap that leads them to poverty, without any good control of your emotions you'll see yourself pushing for more thinking that if luck permits you'll achieved your goals, not realizing that it's just fueling your eagerness to win that huge amount, but in reality you are just favoring the house owner by continuing your gambling sessions with them, even sometimes you already win decently you just keep aiming for more and lose back eventually.

this is the thing, even with laws, some say that not knowing the laws doesn't mean you'll be ok if you don't follow them
may be sad in some cases but it's just what it is... this fact alone sparks some crazy situations

I'm not sure if the number of controlled gamblers is that low...

It also depends on how one treats gambling, as people who are too greedy and become addicted will use gambling as a place to make money without having any restrictions.

They will only believe that big wins are bound to be earned, because seeing many influencers on YouTube can win bets of up to millions of dollars.
But the fact is that they don't understand how the gambling system works, and a rogue gambling platform won't win anything.

But I think it's different when a gambling platform is legitimate, they will still give winnings to players but in certain rounds and online casinos that have been licensed have also been audited according to the local government authorities.

So if you want to get an equal profit use a legal gambling platform, people who, although they can get rich overnight if they are lucky,
but of course no wealth is easy to get because all require effort even though it is gambling.

People see the advertisements of these casino sites thinking that they will get rich very quickly, which is why they start gambling, they do not know that the end result of gambling is ruin. How many people are lucky, who have won huge amounts of money by gambling? Maybe a few people can be found. All the gamblers I have met have become destitute at the end of the day. Yes, it is never possible to get rich quickly by gambling, if a poor person gambles to get rich quickly, he will become even poorer. Therefore, hard-earned money should not be spent on gambling. Yes, those who have enough money can gamble for fun with some amount of money from their income.

Not for everyone, the first bet leads to addiction, just as drinking the first glass of wine for the most part does not lead to alcoholism. Everything will depend on the person himself and on the society that surrounds him.

To some extent, I think they themselves are aware that gambling has made them lose some of their money, but this is still less than their thinking, which is that they think there will be a big win that will happen, so even though they have experienced consecutive defeats, they still do it with confidence. What you said is true, those who think gambling is a quick way to get rich will definitely feel disappointed, and I think it might be worse, they will experience stress because of the series of defeats that occur. Someone who thinks and hopes that gambling can solve the problem of poverty is someone who I think is already damaged by their thinking, because they hope or depend on gambling which actually has no certainty of winning, but defeat or loss is something that is certain to happen. Thinking like that will only trap themselves in gambling, which makes them addicted to gambling and tends to be difficult to get out if they are addicted.

People know that gambling can makes them broke faster but they still do that just pretend that they can win and make money from gambling. Those who thinks that gambling is a fast way to rich will disappointed and regret because they will not have the chance to make it and only have the chance to lose their money. They get tempts for what they see in many ways including when they browsing in the internet where they see many gambling advertisements that makes them start gambling. Gambling can not solve poverty and only makes people lose their money and there is no way out from gambling easily.

So far no one has been able to respond to gambling which is rampant among rich and poor people because gambling never sees who is playing in it. So a gambler seems to have fun without realizing that they are trapped in a loss on a scale that is called a shortcut to real riches and poverty.
I think that during gambling promotions there are still many new members who are curious about the winnings they will get, whether when the money runs out they realize that gambling is just a trap and will not repeat it again and no one has been able to eliminate any gambling.

I agree with you, in fact there are many such gamblers today who consider gambling as an easy way to get rich quick. Especially because of seeing the tempting ads of casinos and betting companies, they become more greedy, and want to get rich quick.

But what a gambler doesn't realize is that this gambling actually a trap to push them to further disaster, and the gamblers fall into this trap to gamble and become addicted to gambling. And slowly they lose everything. So those who think gambling is a shortcut to get rich quick, should research everything well and be aware. And know about the real risk of gambling, and try to stay away from it as much as possible.

Gambling is a concern for society.  Gambling is sensitive and dangerous which can have a devastating effect on the lives of many.

  In line with your comments I would like to make some recommendations that may help in dealing with this problem.
 
1.  Education and awareness programs can be conducted in schools-colleges and society communities so that students and youth know about the ways to get rid of it and its harmful effects.   
     
  2.  Each country's government may impose strict rules and restrictions to ensure that no one can gamble beyond a certain limit and set a certain age so that no one can gamble unless they are minors.  Controlling the promotion of gambling so that it does not attract others.     

   3.  Providing financial counseling to those who have lost their wealth through gambling so that they learn savings and budget planning.       

  Also you have raised another question which is - "Can one proudly tell children that gambling is being done?"   For this to create a negative view in the society, the experience of those who have managed to bring a policy effect of gambling in their lives by keeping everything under control and their negative effects can be highlighted in the society.  By working in this way, it is possible to reduce the harmful effects of gambling.

It is difficult to erase the real fact about gambling that actually makes many gamblers lose everything, most gamblers speculate that gambling may be a shortcut for poor people to become rich because they have been indoctrinated by casino advertisements that show many wins even though it is like a trap to make people gamble when they have entered it they may feel the pleasure and curiosity to continue gambling to get the benefits they want, but over time they will realize when their money is really gone.

Few people who are involved in gambling can manage the amount of budget for gambling, the rest are just involved without thinking about the effects that will occur. When someone is addicted, all they think about is how to get victory and that will make them continue to gamble even though the capital is obtained through other activities. When control is lost, the gambler will be further involved in addiction and the effects can spread to other bad jobs, such as borrowing money, stealing or becoming a drug dealer. This has happened and I saw for myself how their lives became worse and they ended up being arrested and having to deal with the law.

It's not easy for everyone to have that kind of discernment since the beginning. Usually, when the person starts gambling for the first time, he will truly believe it can be a money making method. Only after the individual faces his first losses that he will notice there is something wrong with this money making method. It happens due to the fact gamblers don't know there is a house edge, or when they know, they think it's inoffensive, since it corresponds to a small percentage between 1% and 3%.

They imagine that percentage means nothing on the bigger picture, even though we know it makes total difference the more gamblers play. When the person fails to understand that basic concept, he is doomed to lose more than he can afford to spare, and that is where the danger lies, as it has potential to prevent the individual from thriving and improving his life quality on long term.

If one participates in gambling without being aware of its outcome, he must face dire situations. If one becomes too greedy and participates in gambling with the mindset of becoming rich, he will surely lose all his wealth and become bankrupt. It is different if someone participates in gambling for the sake of peace of mind only for fun and if he can control himself and prevent himself from the dangerous situation of gambling at any time then he may not fall into the dangerous situation. However, the number of self-controlled gamblers is very low.

There are the people who don't care at all about the results too and just gamble for fun, this would be a fourth type
they really exist
in the rich and the poor portions of the chart.
some are simply on it for the thrill, not for the money

Yea, it won't stop here gambling has existed far long than we can imagine.. it started in the early age, where men placed bets on battles and get to win price or slaves in exchange of good predictions.. gambling in the modern age has now turned into something else.. people now consider is not as a means to have fun, but as a way to make a living.. they probably have then wrong mindset that they can actually escape poverty by gambling using alot of money, but not knowing that they will only become poorer.. though we can actually tell anyone to stop gambling as it at their own risk....

Each gambler has his own speed of play in the casino, and I know what I'm talking about. Imagine slots - there each gambler faces a choice: what Bet value to place. And based on many factors, everyone places their own value: someone will place the smallest, because they want to stretch out the pleasure of playing slots, even if the winnings are small. And someone, on the contrary, will look at the clock, and having little time will place the highest values, for example, 10 dollars, as I once did.

Think of gambling as a means to make money under any guise then you will face the music, this is applicable to those who think it's a shortcut to making money and also to those who think it's a patient way of making money. Luck is a factor here, if it is not on your side, there is nothing you can do. This explains why many people are still failing with sports betting as better compared to casino games as it is.  One thing will lead to another and they will continue failing. So gambling should never be seen as a means of making money for any reason, just be neutral with you and the money may come at times.

Owning a casino site is far different from gambling, owning a casino site is actually a business, a lucrative one at that, so this two can not be compared.

Gambling is meant to be a fun venture, but then., like I will always say, greed in men to make more and more money have made them begin to treat gambling for what it's not meant for, I go out at times and see people who treat gambling as a business, like they literally spend their entire day on a casino playing different games and so, and most of such people are already addicted to they extent they can no longer go a day without gambling, and even when they see that things are not working out, they still keep trying and trying.

Only the lucky ones get the opportunity to break free from poverty through gambling, the majority of gamblers are actually being driven to poverty, depending on how frequently they engage themselves in gambling.
