I was discussing with my friend that works in a physical casino yesterday evening. He lamented that his work environment has exposed him to gambling excessively that he hardly saves enough, if at all at the end of the month although he sees good funds from the tips he receives regularly from his clients that clinches wins. He also receives a manageable salary at month-end, but almost everything goes back into gambling.
He stressed that working in a casino exposes you to irresistible desires to gamble and you can do little about it.
I told him that it's possible to save part of the money and gamble with the rest and this was my strategy.
I asked him not to gamble until it's 6pm in the evening and by then he should divide his daily tips into five places, then go straight to a money collection point tho deposit 4/5 of the funds, then come back to gamble with the rest, he agreed to try it out from today and I'm yet to hear of his success as at now. We also agreed that he'll open a fixed deposit account where his salary goes in and remain untouched until every 6 months as his main savings since his tips are enough for his daily expenses
This got me thinking and I decided to share it here, is it not possible to work in a casino and not gamble?
Are there other behavioral patterns that could be employed to reduce gambling excessively while working in a casino?
Let me have your thoughts on this.
Totally depends on someones control because on the moment that you would really be working on a casino then it would be likely that you would really be getting interested on trying out your luck too
specially if you have seen someone do able to win up a significant amount of money or winnings on the time that they do gamble. You would really be that also thinking that if they do able to hit then
why cant you?. It is really just that depending into a certain individual on this case because not all would really be having on the same mindset when it comes into this aspect. Self control would really be the key on here but not to generalize all on which there would really be those people that despite on working on a casino or gambling place but still able to resist on playing because they've seen that they are really that
losing too much and only a few would really be able to get out and make those winnings on which everything would really be that according into someones extreme luck in most cases.
I do agree with this on which this is really indeed right because even if you are really that a worker or employee on a casino but doesnt mean that you would be also playing.
Just like on what you have said that they are aware on how gamblers losing up their money and its impossible that you wont really be seeing your boss laughing because of the profits
that they are making with those gamblers who do keep on losing and this is why it would really be that make yourself wary or aware that its never been good on dealing up yourself on doing gambling.
I do agree that it will really be that a matter of control and discipline towards yourself because if you dont have that control then you would definitely play.
Being an employee doesnt mean that you would really be also a player. You would really be surely thinking that it is really just that a waste of money
and you are really that working for earning money but if you are gambler at heart then you would be playing but if you are really that hating on wasting
money then it would be normal that you would be not that liking on playing because you do know on what are the risks.
