I ask this question because in my city I've seen some bergers...

What you could do is teach yourself to write well and make sure at least before writing a title that what you write is correct. What you mean is “beggars”, come on, correct the title.

Leaving this aside, I do not enter into the moral question. Beggars often have psychological problems and addictions, of which gambling can be one more through which they try to forget about the shitty life they lead, and I don't think a moral judgment is right here.

I believe that bergers don't gamble for fun. So do you think that it's because they feel that they don't have anything to loose and somebody will still give them money if they lose? How will you feel if you see a berger that you just gave your hard earned money using it to gamble?

If I see such beggar, I would not give him funds anymore since he chooses to gamble with the funds people gave to him out of pity. The beggar is gambling for profit and I don't think that he is gambling for fun, if not he would know that he does not have any money and shouldn't gamble with the little he got from people's generousity.

The beggar is just throwing away the money he got because he might keep on gambling without hitting the jackpot and the worst of it would be if he becomes addicted, it means that he is finished and the money he gets from begging will not satisfy his gambling urge. Anyone that cannot take care of his own daily needs should not gamble at all but think of how he can leave his poverty state.

I wondered what you meant by bergers. I have only heard of berger and that's a disease. I quickly realized you mean beggar.

Although I don't want to take away from beggars their freedom, I think if there is still left a little sense of responsibility in them, they should not gamble the money that they only begged from other people. Of course they're free to do whatever they want with their money, but it is misplaced for them to prefer to gamble what they could have saved or spent on something else more important.

Their existence is dependent on other people's generosity. The least that they can do with their money is to spend them responsibly.

Based on my views, a gambler should have a source of income. This is to avoid begging or engaging in criminal activities to gamble. However, some people are professional beggars and see it as a major source of income. India has the highest number of beggars and
I heard that some of them are rich. Some beggars in my country have bank accounts to receive transfers from givers. So that's their job.

I would be concerned if a beggar wasted his money on alcohol or drugs. And I would also not be comfortable I'd he is a gambling addict. But if he decides to use some part of the money he gets to gamble, that's his business. He might win a jackpot one day.

However, the focus of every beggar is to get a job and stop asking for alms. Begging is not a job; nobody should take it as employment.

No, wonder he still beggers.

I usually, never give money to begger. Buts, I more prefer to give some help for the poor people who are not begging. At least with such hard condition, they still want to work even the income was small rather than a beggers while the option is still many.

In here, most beggers getting comfortable because easy money. Some beggers, even have house and cars..... That's the reason. If beggers gambling, man that's f*ck up.....

I ask this question because in my city I've seen some bergers that gambles and I've often wondered why they do so. I know that people give bergers and destitutes money to eat and take care of their other basic needs like soap to bath and medicine Incase they don't feel well. And seeing them in lotto kiosks that are very rampant in the cities to bet makes me to wonder if it's not misplaced priorities for them.

I understand that most poor people are looking for shortcuts to riches and they see gambling as a get rich quick scheme. But most of them are ignorant of the house edge over gamblers and it means that winning is not easy.

At first let me correct this mindset that people do have that there are specific people who gambles for pleasure or fun. If you must know every body, I mean you and I gambles for profits and not for pleasure because you can't afford keep wasting your money to gamble if you weren't aiming at something. I must say that people uses fun to cover up their gambling characters because they would always term it to be fun, have you ever seen someone who gambles and win after that he returns the winning back to the gambling without cashing out or using the money to gamble again? To me I will say No because everyone is aiming at winning money, no matter how it is being rephrase or twisted we are all gambling for profit and not lose.

Back to the beger; to me nothing is wrong if someone is gambling provided he or she is doing it at moderate then nothing is wrong there. Who knows if his luck could shine from there and became something else? You know most begers are the people who are most fortunate to win because they does it with mindset of changing their situation because they are also tired of their lives, begging from place to place and from person to person and if s/he or decides to gamble then it's fine but let it not be that they are gambling out of control.
