Topic: Having a regular/steady income is important as a gambler. - page 16. (Read 2807 times)

As a gambler you need money to gamble. If you don't have a strong source of income, gambling won't be interesting to you. Most times there are multiple bets we should have place or would like to place but lack of money will limit our ability to place such bet. If we have multiple sources of income it will be better for a gambler. It is never a good thing when our gambling habit starts affecting our normal lives, because most gamblers will rather gamble than bring money at home for feeding. Not that they enjoy doing it but I think lack of enough money is the primary cause of that.

However, if a person has a steady income but is a gambler, he has the potential to lose all his money. A gambler also has the opportunity to become a gambling addict. If he is already a gambling addict, it is only a matter of time before he spends all his money.

Maybe he can still survive his financial difficulties because he still has a steady income. But we know that a gambling addict can lose control of himself or even lose control of himself without realizing it. To win or lose, he still has the opportunity to experience defeat. He might also suffer an even greater defeat if he completely loses control of himself.

A gambling addict can also forget about his personal obligations because gambling addicts cannot forget about gambling even for a moment. He will continue to gamble and can even forget about his work. It's best if someone has a steady income, he can allocate his money to gambling and always stay within his limits. Don't let him become addicted to gambling because it could have a bad impact on his life.

I totally agree with your point, having a steady income is definitely important for a gambler. It helps you manage your finances responsibly and take care of other personal obligations. As a gambler,  when you have a source of income or earnings it gives you the freedom to enjoy gambling without it negatively impacting other aspects of your life.

Actually, people who don't have source of income or earnings are always expecting to win always in gambling. They don't have a clear mind on the game always thinking of how to win and use the money to solve their problems, but those with source of income or earnings always have clear mind and are people who often win in gambling. Having a source of income as gambler should be managed, controllable and set limits on your gambling activities, because gambling can ruin your earnings or source of income even if you are not an addict gamble with caution.

Any sensible gambler should know that gambling is not where his rely should be on for an income flow and will make sure to strive to have a legit and reliable source of income to back himself with his responsibilities. Like how else will the gambler get money to finance his gambling urge or appetite if he's not working with a means of steady income flow.

 This is why I do agree with you that should people find themselves around such a gambler they should be on alert and suspicious of him/her because the chances of them becoming victims of theft by that gambler is very high when the urge to gamble has enveloped him he will have no option of self control but to steal from those around him or worst of it all scam them or play on their intelligence just to milk money out of them. A none working gambler with no source of income is as dangerous as a thief in the night and shouldn't be trusted with money.

It is certain that without a permanent job income what to use for gambling. actually gambling is only for fun and entertainment not for work or a source of income. so it is clear that a gambler must have a job or have a permanent source of income in addition to gambling as well as for his living expenses.

That's why I do not believe in some people who do gambling for a living, like fulltime gamblers and that's their only source to feed their family, well, that's my personal opinion because I know some, and some of them are my friends and they only rely to gambling profits, no other source of income, I can say they are really struggiling.

Investment and gambling are clearly different. This needs to be understood first. Gambling is not an investment but just a game that can double your money or even spend money in a very short time. Investments are clearly more structured and require a very long time.

It is clear that a gambling player needs to have a steady income to fulfill his gambling desire. Apart from that, a gambler needs to think rationally so as not to spend his entire salary on gambling.

It's quite smart and good if you get the jackpot and then allocate it to an investment. It will be worth many times more.

Yes true but this is not the topic in context but it doesn't matter because the point you are making is true and implies that gambling can in no way be made or provide income to gamblers, I'm not saying that you can't win because anyone has the possibility of winning there but one of the more definite and reasonable reasons is that gambling has absolutely no consistent element in terms of the final result, everything is always about winning and losing, simply put today you won for example then it would be possible that tomorrow you could lose.

And the other thing is because in gambling there is absolutely no certainty that can be guaranteed for the results at the end of the session, this is why gambling is always recommended only to be used as a place of entertainment to fill your spare time, and it is not uncommon for those who are too serious and try to make money in gambling to suffer a lot of losses, I think only crazy people can think and say that gambling can provide them with consistent income, I would believe in that idea if they were basically a bookie who owned their own casino.

It does not matter and it's not a requirement, as long as you are moderate in gambling and occasionally gambles no matter what your life status is it's okay. Unless you're abusing what you can afford to lose and that's a different story because you will end up in debt and will destroy your life later on.

That's a different topic but it's true that a gambler must have a regular income because how you're going to sustain your gambling needs when you don't have money? What if you gamble and you rely your gambling needs based from the pocket of someone you know? your relative, your husband/wife, children, etc. That sounds odd right when you gamble and you don't have money to gamble. So, it is really expected that when you gamble, you must have your steady income on it because if you don't have, don't gamble.

Having a steady income doesn’t guarantee anything, it just the same as having an average income the only difference is that with steady income you keep in playing and playing on and on which will increase your chances of winning and also with higher stakes your winnings will also be higher.


Being an addict can lead to alot of foolish decisions so an addicted gambler can gamble till the point where he stakes all his money on bet and still will not stop there, he will even go as far as borrowing money just to be able gamble. Having a steady income some gamblers might be able to control their emotions and gamble responsibly but I can’t say same for addicted gamblers because they lack self discipline and might not be able to manage their income effectively which could affect catering for their personal needs.

You still have a valid point regardless.

In fact, having a steady income allows us to satisfy our daily responsibilities and demands while also offering us financial stability to us as gamblers. Better planning is made possible, in my opinion, and the possibility of financial hardship is decreased. Due to the fact that proper bankroll management in gambling depends on having a consistent income, In order to keep us from taking on more risk than we can afford to lose, we think it guarantees that each gambler has a specific amount of money set aside for gambling.

One other factor is that, in my opinion, it lessens desperation. For example, having a steady income lowers the possibility of desperation-driven gambling, in which people might place rash and dangerous bets in an attempt to make up for lost money or deal with financial troubles.

Everyone expects to have a fixed income or regular income in gambling but in reality there is no possibility of making regular income in gambling. Gambling is an uncertain source of income. But if there was a possibility to make regular income then many people would accept gambling as a reliable source of income but it is not at all possible to make regular income from gambling because if one day there is a possibility of profit in gambling then there is a possibility of loss in gambling.

I mean... if you're getting money from your friends/money to use to gamble then there's seriously something wrong with you already. Just the fact that you're gambling away money and have no fear of repercussions is already mind-boggling since there should be a basic instinct in us humans of "what should I do tomorrow about basic needs related to money?" kind of idea.

And I wouldn't say that having a steady income differs from those who don't. It simply means they can gamble without risks awaiting them afterward. And if you can say that having money means more chances which equates to greater possibility then sure, but in each individual bet no matter how many bets you make you'd still have whatever odds are there as the basis. It doesn't stack so having that kind of mindset would only bring ruin to you imo so saying that it's related to each other kind of doesn't make sense.

Having a steady income is important as a person, after all, how are you going to afford a comfortable lifestyle if you can't even buy comfortable food and necessities? But as a gambler, what you need is not a steady income, but a sustainable and separate bankroll from where you pull your expenses from. The biggest mistake that gamblers make is spend the same money they use for their daily expenditures for their gambling sessions. When you do that, you're subconsciously putting yourself under the impression that you have money to gamble with no matter what happens, and it's not gonna run out, until such a time comes when you can't even buy food for yourself. On the other hand, when you separate your spending account to your gambling wallet you're given a tactile limit that you can't go over, and the impression of having all the money in the world is taken away from you allowing you to be smarter with your spending.

Yes... as a gambler who regularly gambles and places bets, we must at least have a steady income so that our needs and responsibilities can be met and our gambling activities can continue. We must have a steady income, but we must not make gambling a haven to get a steady income. Gambling has a fairly high risk of losing, because the possibility of winning is always smaller than the possibility of losing. Gambling is just entertainment, and we have to pay a high price for it.

So be wise when gambling, do it sensibly and differentiate between what is an obligation and what is just entertainment. Healthy gamblers will never prioritize gambling activities above things that are more important than just gambling. But quite a few people are too obsessed with gambling which causes them to become impulsive gamblers, who are unable to control their gambling well and are unable to create balance in their lives.

A gambler who does not have a stable income will only end up committing crimes and there have been many criminal cases committed by gambling addicts because they do not have the capital to play gambling.
For this reason, keep an eye on the people closest to you, and try to advise those who gamble but don't have a job or income because it could be that you or other family members will become victims of crimes committed by unemployed gamblers.
for an unemployed person, it's better if you don't try gambling, your thinking is wrong, gambling is not the best and fastest way to make money.

There is actually no correlation when talking about the possibility of winning in gambling with the regular income one has because after all regardless of regular income or not when talking about odds in gambling everything remains the same in the end.
We cannot classify it as if it is related because in the end it is not related at all.
Gambling is still gambling regardless of what we have and the income we have when we already have an addiction to gambling then everything will remain the same.
But indeed responsibility is a different situation because regardless if in the end we are a gambling addict (when considering an addict is someone who often plays gambling) but it does not interfere with the financial activities we have for daily needs then I think it's okay as long as it doesn't interfere with our needs and the finances we have.

In my opinion, the most important thing is that each person is aware that gambling is not a source of income and that one should use money that the person can afford to lose. This way, if a person has a fixed salary or has a business that will make a profit, then that person will play sometimes when he has some extra money and when he has already had fun with other things. because it is very important that people know that there are many things that people can do to have fun, it is not just gambling that can have fun, there are other things in this world that people can do to have fun and, being so when people think about the things they want to do for fun

The best thing you can do would be to make a list and put a price on each thing you intend to do to have fun, this way you will be able to know which things you should prioritize to have fun in that particular month and which things can be left for later. Many people have made the big mistake of not making a list of the things they intend to do to have fun and as a result they end up thinking that only gambling is the only entertainment for them each month and with that thought in mind. These people spend months playing and thinking of ways to get more money to increase their playing time, but when they do this it increases the chances of becoming addicted or it increases the chances of becoming very frustrated people due to constantly losing money

That's why you need to balance things. when one month the person plays, then the following month the person must look for something else to have fun, by doing this the person will not just be thinking about games all the time, with this way of thinking the person will not become addicted to games. when you see a person playing every day or every weekend then that person is no longer playing for fun, that person will be playing for the profit that they will hardly be able to obtain, but that person will continue to deceive themselves that by continuing to play things will change and they will be able to obtain profit. but everything got worse

The truth is that you cannot gamble without money, and once your income is secure, it will make your gambling more interesting and easy to gamble. Some people do silly things because they do not have money to gamble, so they don't care if they have to sell their belongings just to gamble. However, if they have a job or an investment, gambling will be easier for them, as it is for me. And people gamble because they want to survive. I don't think people in gambling are relaxed because me personally am not relaxed am always always doing calculations of how my day will be while gambling i need to be in a sound mind to enjoy my gambling.
