Topic: Having a regular/steady income is important as a gambler. - page 5. (Read 2807 times)

If you are talking about who doesn't earn steady,  but how does such person have money to gamble? I think many people gamble without having a steady stream of income because I have seen several people who don't have a steady job that brings money to them on frequent basis, but they make their money by chance or when they call them for job. For example some professional job that you'll go and work after which you can stay up to 3 months before they can call you for another job. This set of people will still continue playing gamble even with any fund that comes their way. Like taking their wife funds, selling property to play gamble, taking loan to play gamble, deceiving people to get fund to play gamble, Lastly pesting around people who always gamble, for the purpose of leuring them to suit your wish of playing gamble. otherwise know as parasitic Gamblers. So there are many ways I see people who don't have steady means of income usually survive in playing gamble. So there should be need to for people to have genuine means of steady income for the sole porpos of not embarassing yourself with people or doing some things that is not reasonable.

The truth is that you enjoy gambling more whenever you a consistent source of income that doesn't allow you to become overly emotional whenever you are gambling. Most of the people that look at gambling as a full time job are damn unemployed folks that are looking for anything handy that could bring about financial incentive and gambling is just one of their means to the end of getting money into this pocket.

Most persons that don't even have a consistent source of income that aids their gambling habit are the ones that easily become addicted to the act because every slight story they hear from people on how they gambled and made a good amount of money out of it will propel them to wanting to do same just in case luck might shine on them.

Well it's their own choice, no one force them to gamble if they can't control themselves. Even though it's bad for them, but at least they give contribution to other people because they enrich the casino, it makes the owner able to pay salary for the employees and they will pay tax to the government.

So, it doesn't looks really bad right?

Whenever the contention of using spare money to gamble comes up, I preoccupy my mind with some questions, what is spare money? Does a poor man have a spare money? In my understanding, spare money is an amount a gambler is prepared to lose after covering all his life expenses for that period. Now, if I am working with my understanding then a poor man doesn`t have spare money because he cannot cover his expenses then how will he get spare money? Does this mean the poor don`t have a place in the gambling industry?

To me everyone can attempt to gamble and so the poor cannot be exempted from gambling even though we know that the poor cannot gamble with spare money because he doesn’t even have enough not to talk about having spare. To me, every piece of money used by a poor person to gamble is sacrificial and this sacrifice is to aid him in escaping poverty which in my thinking is very wrong thinking but we can't help it. A poor man can't gamble for fun or pretend not to be gambling because of money. I have seen poor gamblers claim to be gambling because they enjoy gambling. To me, such a person is shying away from reality because their only consideration is to make extra cash to guarantee a comfortable living.

Gambling for fun is indeed a safe choice, but not everyone can do it. There are times when they are still greedy for chasing wins after earning more than their initial funds and that can be detrimental without them realizing it. The need to remain alert when things don't go as desired and stop when things can no longer be controlled.

That's what I mean hopefully gambling using only a small amount of the income earned trying not to use the funds that have been determined for needs to be used for gambling when the, funds for gambling have run out as much as possible should be able to refrain when the funds set for  gambling have, run out do not deposit money back on gambling that is not sure to provide a profitable victory It is true that you say we should not depend on gambling  I agree with you by managing money properly it can make us do gambling with the aim of entertainment to fill spare time.

And in my opinion also gambling should be done when in free time because gambling should be done leisurely not doing it at work which can make gambling uncomfortable to do gambling in free time so that you can enjoy gambling  properly is one way that I do.

Yes, we need money to meet our daily needs. Gambling is not included as our daily needs so we do not have to allocate much money instead just prepare some money to gamble. If we can be wisely to use the money for gamble, I think we can help ourselves to prevent the big loss that already faced by many gamblers because they do not realize that spending much money will cause them loss much. Having steady income gives us a chance to arrange the money to be used for many things including for our daily needs or for gambling capital so we can have a boundaries to gamble. Steady income that we have helped us to cover our needs without worry so that does not mean we can use much money for playing gambling. We must remember that playing gambling is just for fun and not earn money so we do not have to spend much money from our steady income. If we can set some money to gamble, we can enjoy our free time by playing gambling.

That is good for you because at least, you gambled when you are at home while you are free. It is what you have done when you want to playing gambling as gambling is just part of our activities that does not  have to be used every day. We must have to avoid getting much problem from gambling while many people already have it and become addicted to gambling. I am sure that we do not want to be that one so we must be careful to use gambling for fun.

Having a false hope to win in gambling to use it as source of income is such a dangerous adventure. Your friends are going to eventually see themselves lack money and owe debt to people for having that high hope to make wealth with gambling, nobody should depend on gambling for income as it comes today as winning and the next day you are losing more than you have won. In fact, a continuous losing get you destabilise that your emotion will not be stable for healthy and proper gambling decision of playing as you can bear losing. You will want to gamble more higher stake if you are losing just because you want to recover loses.

I understand gambling's appeal, especially during high-stakes tournaments. Gambling shouldnt devour one's finances, though. Too many have fallen into addiction, where the next win trumps financial disaster.

In unpredictable economic times, financial discipline is essential. Gambling can quickly turn into a monster that devours all of a person's money. Moderate gaming is fine, but financial health and responsibility come first. The house always has the edge, so play smart by backing off.

A gambler who has no source of income yet still gambles the little he has, is to me an irresponsible gambler. Gradually he becomes addicted and may not be able to stop for once and calculate his addiction. Having a source of income will enable you fund your gambling activities and prevent you from spending funds on Gambling which might yield you loss.

As a gambler, you should be able to set aside a separate amount of money to fund your gambling activities. As you must not forget about your other responsibilities. If one fails to plan definitely be plans to fail and as such any gambler who fails to plan or budget his funds for gambling then he plans to fail. A responsible gambler should be aware of all these.

Having a job is important but I don't think having a job because of gambling is another different thing on its own, because the moment you take gambling too seriously then you can even end up spending your whole income on gambling some people do it, and for does that gamble a lot would be gladly happy to have an income so that they won't have a challenge when they need money to gamble, and that is the problem addicts have all they always care about every time they need money to gamble. with the way, everyone is battling the economic problem then you don't have anything to spend much money on is gambling, when there are inflation on price and everything that is when management is very important.

if in any way you even enjoy gambling the way I do then I would not be bothering too much about it because I gamble in seasons or when they are important matches then I pick good interest to want to place a bet on that game. When people get use to gambling with there income then they will end up been broke always as a result of gambling.

You are absolutely right. I agree and like your view. And I want to add one important thing here. Don't make gambling one of your sources of income. Don't use all the money from your salary or income to gamble in the hope that you will win the bet and then get more money. Gambling is not a business but it is a business product of the casino or bookie. You can use your entertainment money to gamble. So you won't ruin your life by spending a lot of money on gambling. I am very sad to see some of my friends who are addicted to gambling because they believe that they will become rich from gambling. This is completely the wrong way of thinking.

I do not know if this topic is worth in this forum or not. It's nonsense to me. Maybe this is a reminder to kids who know nothing about life yet. I mean, everybody who has common sense knows this rule. Everybody knows even people who are not into betting that we need a steady income to continue with life. We need a steady income before starting a family.

Betting is like a luxury, only people with extra money are recommended to enter. And even to those with extra money, we still need to bet what we can only afford to lose which means something that makes us not emotional in case we lose.

Everything in life needs money, That shows how important money is. If you have an income and good management skills, even if you gamble every day, then you should not have a problem. personally, who gambles every time if not for my income, I wouldn't be able to gamble well, I love gambling so much, but I don't even make the mistake of relying on it because my winnings are not certain, so if you rely on it you will just go hungry. and the trust is there is nothing anybody can tell me about gambling, I won't stop I know how gambling has helped me.

Once I am at home in the evening, the first thing I think about is how to arrange my games to gamble since that is only when I am free, so that I can think well period. I am not married, so I am home alone and can do whatever I want at that particular time. I know how women are when you tell them you gamble they get all cranky about but when it comes to sharing the money, they won't even ask.

For regular gamblers who gamble regularly like few times a week/month, of course they need to have regular/steady income but for recreational gambler who gamble like once in few months, they dont have to but having regular income is better. The more important thing is about having good money management because having steady income will still bad for gamblers if they cant manage their income/money well in gambling. Without good money management, some people with great regular income may ruin their life in gambling because some of them may think like "it is fine to gamble and lose all the income because they will get it again next week/month".

And as much as possible it would really be that best that you shouldnt really be making yourself engaged with gambling because you do know that gambling could cause up that huge slice
into your overall income and this is something that i dont really like. This is why it would really be that best that as much as possible you should really be avoiding it at all cost.
If it happens that you cant really be able to do so then it would be better that you should really be just having those strict limitations basing up on how much that you could only spend.
People do usually mess up their lives on the time that they would really be going overboard on what they are really that dealing with. If they do become that impulsive then this is where
they would really be making bad decisions.

Yes, exactly, their biggest mistake is as you said that they put seriousness in a place that should be an amusement park, meaning that putting the goal of earning in a place that in fact only provides "possibilities" is a very wrong idea and idea, because there is absolutely no certainty or any element that can make you actually earn or win, and this also confirms that gambling is a lucky activity.

The mistakes continue and the situation is even more worrying when they get to the thought of "borrowing" or doing other actions to fund their gambling activities with the aim of multiplying them, and of course this is the mindset of someone who is already in a situation of addiction where you can't miss a moment not to gamble and even to the point where you do some unreasonable actions to get money to fund your gambling activities. On the other hand, we must understand that there is absolutely no certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session and the conclusion is that gambling cannot be used as a place to earn but nothing more than a place to fill spare time with the aim of finding pleasure, I hope you can at least put a little awareness in yourself so that you can think rationally and I am sure that with this, you will prefer to look for a place that does have certainty to earn such as the main or side job that you mentioned here.

That is our main goal in having an income to meet our daily needs. With good management, we will be fine and can even use a little of that income to gamble. But we don't need to use a little money to gamble if we feel we can't control ourselves well while gambling. We also don't need to rely on gambling to make money because we already have income. If we can manage our income well, everything will be fine, and we can still use a little money to gamble, which will only be a form of entertainment for us.

We use gambling in our free time, and this free time is not always available every day, so we have to be able to handle our thoughts that want to continue gambling. That is why we must have self-control to control those thoughts. If we can refrain from gambling every day, we can use gambling as a way to relieve daily tension and use gambling as entertainment.

Some gamblers take what it should be just a hobby way too seriously, since they use amounts of money that compromise other aspects of their life and that is just wrong.

You should only use any spare money that you may have, and if you do not have any then you should not gamble, now looking for a second job to get more money is a good option, but gambling should not be the main motivation behind that move, as there are many other activities in which you may use that extra money that could help you a lot more down the line.

In my opinion, the main purpose of having an income is to meet our daily needs, because that is what we have to pay attention to, by having an income and being able to manage it well, everything will be fine, including with the budget set for gambling, it can be done smoothly. Good. Manage income well by dividing it for daily needs, for the future (saving) and for fun (gambling). Because someone who has clear thinking, I'm sure they won't be careless in managing their finances even if their income is small.

What you say is correct, if we can gamble for fun or to fill our free time, it is likely that the budget used will not be large, and we should also use a budget that is not large for gambling, because it is a necessity, that's right. I think personally.
