Topic: Have your winnings lured someone into gambling ? - page 2. (Read 770 times)

Acquiring too much stress and anxiety and other emotional things could really give out some effect on someones health which we know that these things can't really only be experienced via doing gambling but also
in other things that we are doing in our lives which can potentially do make out these kind of effects which you could really say that this isnt limited on certain conditions or circumstances.
Lured out someone on the way you do bet? I dont think so because each person around me does have their own will on what they should gonna do in their lives whether
they do let someone do inspires them or would be totally independent on what they are tending to do.

I'll tell you more. Emotions that a gambler experiences while winning or losing are very similar to those of a trader. Such emotions can change the perception of the environment and in this state it is very easy to make a mistake that will lead to serious losses.

That's why I support your point of view about taking a break from gambling as it will save you not only from reckless spending but also will save your health.

It does lure someone to gambling.  People love to emulate stuff and imagine things.  If ever they heard about someone's winning they always put themselves in that person's shoes and think if it was them.  Especially when their friend is the one who won, they surely think that if they friend is able to win on that gambling, they can also win on that game.


True but people who tasted winnings will always come back and gamble.  So it is kinda difficult to nurture that kind of habit.

Am not the kind of person that likes withholding my winnings and losses from friends. I like telling them how my betting played out cos most times we bet games together
I can't say cos almost the friends I share my gambling stories with are gamblers like me. We bet games within ourselves and give out match statistics to those that care to ask
                               

I don't want to have that reason from them to start to gamble because of what they've seen from me. I want them to realize that gambling isn't done like that because they saw it from my winnings.

Well, it's not a secret anymore that gambling is risky and the same goes for trading as it bears with risks.

But, again, as I have said that I'll be ready to engage to them if they're the one asks me to.

When I win big, I tell the story to my friends, but I'm always saying that it was good luck, and that there's no guarantee it will happen to anyone else, or even to me again. Even if it's poker, where luck plays, according to many, a lesser role, I'm always saying, it was because of luck that I won.

I wouldn't mind if someone started gambling because of me, but only if that person would play for relaxing and entertainment purposes. I'm never saying out loud, start gambling and you will win big too , although somewhere deep in my heart I do wish them to win big, of course.

this has never happened to me, besides that I have never shared my victory story with other people, because that would make it difficult for me

those who are lured will definitely immediately ask me a lot of things and will definitely make it difficult for me to guide them. besides that, I also don't want other people to play gambling because of me, because usually, newbies don't have a good mindset in gambling

Agreed, but mostly if they gamble because they saw your winnings and are hoping they can also win that much, it will lead to losses. People are always seeing the good sides, like the money he won, and not the downside, which is that they only know that once he won it, he had already spent a lot of money playing on it. People are only thinking one-sidedly, which is why they lose. We should first know the risk of it so that we will not expect that we will also win like others did. Though it is also best to experience it by losing so that they can learn from it, it is a hard experience since you'll be losing money.

For me i do not believe that gambling winnings lure anyone into gambling, what these big winnings does is that it gives people false hope, false believes that it could be them winning if they do not give up gambling; which in turns gives betting companies more money and more addicted gamblers.

Also, we must nurture the habit of staying away from gambling after having a winning; else you would lose all again

It's gonna be step by step and let's see if they're really into it. And I'll only do that if they've shown interest but if not, then I won't be giving them hint or clue about gambling.

It's better be left to themselves and let them discover what gambling is and have their willingness to do it on their own. Because if they do that, it only means that they understand the risk they're taking.

Not that I am aware of, so far all my friends I talk about gambling with, are also gamblers and we sometimes share each other success stories. But I never had a really big win yet, I do get lucky from time to time with some decent wins, in absolute terms though these are not living changing wins and will probably not attract anybody to join gambling. Whenever I go to a physical casino to gamble with my friends we have an easy rule, whoever wins the most money has to pay for gas and the food or drinks after. So the motivation is not the strongest to make the most money during a night, and even if you lose everything you still have decent night out. The most money I won in gambling comes from poker, but the game I play for more than 10 years and you have to build up a bankroll over time. That is why I always tell a bit more about poker when I share some success stories, it's not that you should jump into the higher blind games when you are a complete beginner. Also I don't want to "lure" my friends or family into anything, they should understand the risk they take and decide for themselves. The problem with luring someone in, is that if things go sideways and he loses his money, it will be blamed on you. Better not to risk a good relationship for gambling in my opinion.

I don't have big winning to share with people. I loss more than I win, so there is no need sharing losses with people. If I win I keep it to myself and if I lose also keep it to myself. Since I lose more than I win I don't share with anyone.

Nobody has ever joined gambling because of me but my few old college friends who knew how good I was in prediction then always disturb me for prediction.

Yes, as a matter of fact I won big and other people wanted to share in the action...so we (5+ people) created a small WhatsApp group to combine efforts to find strategies to win. We also share winnings amongst each other when you win something big, by tipping the other members of the group.

The group are based on honesty and also on paying it forward when you win. Most individual persons lose money on gambling, but a group effort soften the losses for every member, when you share your wins. 

I never teach or predict the game for others because I don't want my friends to lose. He should place the bet himself and predict it so he knows what the consequences will be. In addition, I also never tell others that I gamble because I don't want them to follow me when they can't control themselves if they gamble. But I also share and celebrate my victories with them and even though I have friends who ask me to teach them, I still don't want to do it because of the risk factor.

I never share or celebrate my winnings to my friends because it will just make my life harder, they will think we're rich and they will ask money from me. When I don't give money to them, they will mad and don't want to become my friends anymore. So rather than I ruined my friendship, it's better I keep it secret.

I also never predict the outcome of a game because when the picked team or fighter didn't win, I will get blamed and they will say I just trolling them.

Not in my case, because I have never bet large amounts although in some cases I have won a jackpot. In my case and in others, I have seen groups of friends start betting on physical slots or sports betting, and as a result other friends in the group have started betting as well. In other words, it was more about seeing friends gamble than the fact that they won at some point.

I think you get more hooked when you win than when you see someone else win.

If those people asked it for you, why should you care if you just gave them input? But if it's other the way around and you are the one who suggests betting on that specific bet, then yes, we are the one wrong there.

As much as possible, we don't have to get in the way of these people. If they are asking us to provide tips, we should respond that they need to work it out on themselves because that's their own money.

It is actually the way around- I was somehow influenced by my friend who showed me their winnings on a gambling website which somehow compelled me to try it.

I remember seeing my friend, showing me this automated bot where you can win some cryptocurrencies into gambling. Due to the peak of my curiosity, I did not hesitate to try it and fortunately it won me some cash worth $100.

Though that may be the case, this is extremely and potentially dangerous to other people. While it is not entirely wrong to show your winnings, you must always tell them to be cautious before gambling as seeing and experiencing the greener side of the grass is not always the case.

Very true.

That's also going to make you lose the trust of those people that will ask you those tips and predictions. And that's why if you're unsure of what you're saying, better you don't tell anything but if they insist. Always add that you're unsure of it and it's just your pick that you can't guarantee them.

I'm done luring, attracting or encouraging someone with what I do. Because in the past, and there are others who have experienced this for sure that they've been blamed for their misfortune and since they're the one who introduced it, they're being finger pointed.

definitely not, I only share it with my family, people need to be very careful with things they share and with whom they share, win a large amount of money and then go share it with all friends, this can make the person suffer a lot, it can be kidnapped or stolen and killed. That's why the best option is for the person to just share with the family only


I don't give tips to anyone and I don't make game predictions for people, giving tips or predicting games is something that can make you dead one day, don't tip or don't make predictions because when you make mistakes they will be criticizing you
