I noticed one thing the reason why folks keep saying gambling is a shortcut to poverty, is because of the mindset folks have toward gambling thinking or taken gambling as a means to get rich quick or to become a millionaire over night ( though is possible but not has easy as you think) because losses are always involved that most folks do get rekt before getting to point of hitting the jackpot. .

The right way to approach gambling is by taken it as a means of entertainment to while away time or something you do for fun, not something you do just to get rich quick ,so that you won't endup rekt.

The poverty all starts from where one starts seeing their self that as they are poor, the only way they can get rich is from gambling; they have already caved themselves into that, which will be difficult to escape, and the more they keep on using what they have to gamble instead of chasing a career and a brighter future, the more they deeply get broke and become poorer beyond the level they once's where. It takes only some serious attention to take that belief away from them.

Yes alot of those that have such mindset towards gambling oftentimes run into problems and are forced to pronounce gambling as a shortcut to poverty or loses at the end of the day, this is a result of one thing on the part if the gambler which is greed, because the reason their will lose so much is because they bet or play what their can't afford to lose and be comfortable with, and carried away by they greed to win a lot form the game there by staking higher amount and when they lose they become broke.

So instead of blaming themselves, their blame gambling as a too to making them poor meanwhile greed is their biggest enemy in this regards.

We will hear it a million times from everyone here that gambling is for entertainment.

But when someone treats gambling as a source of income, they're bound into losing more money and it's not a shortcut to riches.

We cannot remove that from their heads and there will always be the gamblers that will keep on doing things as they wish to do like continuing in doing so for the hope of having a better life through it.

They have different views right and says that all the time Grin

I think it's the nature of the forum for everyone to say the same thing probably not to get roasted over opinion but that doesn't reveal who you are exactly. As for me, gambling is for fun and for money, any other person that thinks otherwise is free to believe what he choose to believe, if there is no money involve in gambling, 90% of gamblers wouldn't do visit gambling platforms again in their life.

However, having mindset of coming to make money from gambling is one of the quickest way someone can enter poverty, if you are poor before and you have this mindset, you will die of frustration and if you have money before and want to gamble this way, I'm sure that you are going to be homeless, the kind of frustration that will you experienced will make you quit gambling completely. Just like a thread I just saw now about a guy calling gambling a scam, it's this kind of gambling frustration that lead them there.

Yeah right, there are gamblers who loves taking that kind of risk hoping that luck will permits them and earn that huge success in gambling, though we can't remove the fact that there are some who managed to have that kind of success but compared to those who did not, that's a huge difference between the two, there are more loser and more people who engage and did not end well after trying so hard..

The set of people who see gambling as a source of income are usually disappointed in the end. Only a few percentage of such people end up making meaningful money from gambling. Seeing gambling as a means to make money might lead to borrowing or selling personal belongings to gamble which might lead to further financial problems. If gambling could make people rich, most people who gamble in developing nations would have become wealthy. But what I see around my neighborhood is poverty among hardcore gamblers. Only a few of them become lucky and win big money that will make them financially stable.

Yeah, trying so hard is going to be hard and painful.

There's really a need for every gambler to understand and realize that gambling isn't mostly for those that are seeking refuge in it and want to make money as fast as they can.

Some might be fortunate in finding good results but not everyone will have the same story.

as we all should know by now, with greater chances of reward comes greater risk too so if you have some thing where you can double you usually can lose it all too...
it's almost like a law of nature, like gravity
I think society views on addiction are definitely bad but most people don't usually realize someone else is addicted until it is just too late...
most places would probably be better with it still forbidden

You're on point mate. Success comes with risk, and its your choice to determine if you'll go for it or despise the thought. But in real essence there are some risks which are not worth goings for, even in gamble. Too bad the sign of gambling addiction can only be noticed when the gambler has already concluded and starts making lots of irresponsible decisions. In cases where the gambler plays online casinos and other gambling games via his gadgets, he could end up destroying his entire life savings before someone else notices him.

Well the initial reason for making gamble was not for the purpose of entertainment alone gamble was introduced so that people can also double their money or make huge profits, otherwise there would not be any room for those other benefits of gambling. Gamble if not carefully handled it couscous Eventually lead to addiction which is the part where gambling starts becoming a bad habit when viewed by the society. Gambling has been known for its illegal nature not until casinos came up and started legalizing it. However those who feel like gambling to make extra cash should gamble with care, because once you get addicted that could be the end of your happy life

When a person allows greed to take over their thinking, it becomes very difficult to convince them they are on the wrong, since once they obtain a huge win, they cannot help to think that if they were to follow your advice then they will deny themselves of all of the potential profits they could get if they kept gambling, so they ignore your advice thinking they know better, and it is only once they lose it all they realize you were right, but at that moment it does not really matter that much anymore.

This attitude is seen, not only in gambling alone but also in other areas of life. People tend to discard valuable advice or constructive criticism simply because they see that it’s working for others, and maybe they’ve tried it a couple times and it maybe worked a couple of times for them too, so regardless of the potential consequences of that action or the advice you give to them, they’ll always feel skeptical about taking the advice because they believe they’re doing the right thing, we’ll not until things go bazaar and maybe get out of control and then they’ll realize that they’ve been wrong after all.

Instead of sitting on our luck to change our financial situation we have to keep trying and that in the right way. Now if I imagine myself in the place of a rich man and accordingly try to reach his place in a very short time but it is never possible. When we follow a successful person we give more importance only to his success but we don't pay much attention to how much he has struggled to achieve this success. Many people have the misconception that gambling can change their financial situation. Maybe before gambling they think that if a big jackpot hits their luck then their luck will change but there are very few people in the world who get this big jackpot. A gambler who thinks like this may not have such a jackpot win in his life then his entire gambling career will be seen as futile.

Though, you have to also need to consider where that mentality comes from, most people see gambling as a way to make money because lotteries and bookies heavily advertise the occasions in which someone hit the jackpot on their platforms, in order to attract more gamblers to engage, feeling they could be the next fortunate one. It is part of the gambling culture and the effect advertisement upon people, it is not wrong per se, it is part fault of people having expectations on an activity which only benefits the house in the long term and generates a lot of losses to the average gambler.

True, having such a mindset is certainly very inappropriate because at least, when gamblers have such a mindset, they will get pressure on themselves, making it difficult to get good results because they are not focused on having good self-control. Because after all, in gambling also the reality will lose more often than win, no matter what their goals or targets are in gambling. Whether it is to get rich, or just for fun, but the reality is that they will lose more often than they win. Therefore, expecting to get rich from gambling is not a good idea. Instead of getting rich from gambling, but the reality is that their wealth will also slowly decrease due to their high addiction to gambling.

It is undeniable that this is one of the mindsets that is actually not really justified because we always assume that gambling can bring big profits and can change fate in an easy way, just by gambling they can get profit so that with expectations like this makes ambitions have less controlled ambitions for gambling so that it becomes a condition that consciously or unconsciously makes them fall into their own mindset towards gambling views.

Most people sometimes neglect by not paying too much attention that gambling is just a game of luck, especially since it is under the control of the bookie who will definitely profit from the gambling business that is carried out and we still hope that this is a way to improve our economy? it is something that is actually easy to think about but we are too naive to admit that we are stupid in realizing it.

Quote from: Docnaster on November 18, 2024, 10:17:33 AM

Gambling can be only referred as a short cut to poverty when the gambler becomes addicted to it. Gambling addiction is very deadly and would render whoever that's addicted to it poor and financial lack which is why gamblers are always advised to gamble responsibly and to take control of their gambling engagements. So if you know you gamble responsibly, I don't think you should have any fear of becoming poor because of your gambling activities.

The moment anyone becomes addicted they see it as a means of getting out of poverty and some might get lucky but out of 10 is only 2 get that kind of luck and now that the economy of the country is not even suitable and that is why you see that the number of people gambling have increased recently because majority are looking for a way out of poverty and if you are looking for a way out I don't think that gambling should be the way out of perverty it does not work thay way, you gamble for the fun of it and the money you get from it so their is no way you can over do things when it comes to gambling because the amount you might spend might be more than what you will get so, we that love gambling are only doing it for fun, but when you lose that money to be won they you will know the true color of gambling.

I came across this question that explains why it is so naive and foolish to think that gambling can be a source of wealth:

People go to Las Vegas all the time to gamble their money in the hope of winning the jackpot, and in fact, many people do. So how do casinos still make money if so many people are winning the jackpots?

The answer is that even though people are winning the jackpots, the casinos are still profitable in the long run because they collect more money from the people who don’t win. This is where the expression “The house always wins” comes in.

The truth is that casinos are just very rich statisticians. They know that in the long run, they will be the ones making money, not the gamblers.

Yes gambling is a shortcut to poverty, but that is also only when you do not know how to treat gambling properly, because basically there are still some people who are involved in gambling but do not experience any problems or even any setbacks, they are fine and their gambling habits do not cause problems with their financial situation.

This means that most likely gambling will only lead you to poverty if you do not know how to control and manage risky activities, so actually whatever type of activity it is if you know and are aware of the potential for bad impacts that can occur at any time then you should be able to avoid these bad possibilities, therefore this is the reason why we must always know and understand what activities you are actually facing.

I reality, too much of everything is bad, or let me say rhat too much of somethings is bad, gambling included, plus other things we also enjoy like eating, sleeping, speed and so on, imagine that food is very sweet, but many have died from eating too much.
How about driving good cars are their top speed, it's gives good pleasures, good vibes, good feelings, it's very entertaining and enjoyable, but then, many have died through the same speed..

It's the same with gambling, and everything you said is absolutely correct, gambling being a shortcut to poverty totally depends on who is gambling and how is he or she is taking it, one can not maintain to rule of gambling and gambling will return him or her to poverty, it's not possible, experiencing such negative side of gambling simply means that the individual must have been gambling way too much.
