Topic: Never borrow money to be able to gamble - page 9. (Read 2701 times)

That’s what they call addiction. Addiction make people to do some crazy things, don’t you see people stealing just to get money to gamble, or some people selling their properties just to get money to gamble, doesn’t that sound foolish to you? I don’t think anybody gambling just for fun will do all those crazy things, but most gamblers which we see are just desperately looking for money, that’s why they end up doing things like that. When gambling, we should just try and be cautious about our gambling habits, we should try our possible best not to be addicted to gambling.

Gambling and borrowing are both banned in some countries for good reason as being temptation that leads to terrible actions.  Neither has to be true but to combine both would seem to make it a certainty.

   Its a bad principle to proceed with and an even worse reality to realize in at least half the attempts, better not to try incorrect actions hoping for good luck.  Stick to one simple idea, only gamble what you can already afford to lose.

I will not totally agree with you on this assumption that gamblers that borrow money to gamble are foolish because if they are lucky to hit a jackpot, they can easily become rich and sort out all their financial problems, life is a risk, although the impact of borrowing to gamble is highly negative but not as bad as calling them foolish because some of them may be lucky to win from such risk.


But on a general note, borrowing to gamble with is a bad idea and should be discouraged, since only gambling addicts becomes so desperate to gamble to the point of going into debt, just to gamble it away, those category of gamblers can be referred to as you mentioned but not everyone.

Gamblers that borrow money to gamble without considering that they can lose the money and then they will be in debt are gambling addicts. They are the only ones that I can think about that will do something like that when they know gambling can not be dependable. They can do this because they do not have control over the things they do when they want to gamble because they only care about gambling and their thoughts are being controlled by the feeling of gambling. Borrowing money will make you not to enjoy the games that you are gambling on and at least you should be enjoying the games that you are gambling on if you are not going to win the bets so you can gain enjoyment from the game and not be going home with complete loss without gaining anything.

Everyone has their own point of view on gambling and maybe I'll set the record straight here which is that gambling does not mean that you will always lose when gambling with borrowed money, because casinos never make a big deal about whatever budget you use to gamble, or simply put all gamblers have a chance when they enter a gambling table regardless of the budget they get. This means that the chances of winning will always be there even if you are gambling with borrowed money, but the mistake here is that gambling is always a risky activity which makes us all always advise to only risk the amount we can afford to lose and also which makes us advise not to overdo gambling.

When someone gambles using borrowed money, it means that they do not have money but they are too determined to gamble so they use loans as an alternative to fund their gambling habits and it means that it is clear that it is an action that is classified as leading to the aspect of exaggeration or too much force for something that should not be a priority, and as a result of some cases that we often find in the end they experience problems of debt because the idea of borrowing over time will become a habit, and another thing is that I agree with you that they are typical gamblers who only see the chances of winning.

If you easily judge someone and conclude that it's really who they are then you probably got the baddest moral decision of them all, there ain't no way that I'm going to believe that just because someone ask for money to gamble, doesn't mean that they're a fool. What if that person is a really good gambler or that at that time they don't have any money to be able to gamble themselves but they know with confidence that they're going to be winning that game? Wouldn't that be a consideration for you? I'm not saying that you're wrong, my point is that it's never a good idea to be a quick judge just because someone seems to look guilty, that's how we got innocent people behind bars.

A disclaimer to all of this though, just because I'm justifying that someone isn't who they are at first glance doesn't mean that it applies to every people, some people out there are really evil and is definitely who they're showing.

You don't see it but many did it and still doing it because of gambling addiction that they have. It's hard to believe, right? that they're gambling with borrowed money and they seem to be unstoppable with that action and foolish decision that they're doing. And it's not all about winning but it's about the effect of gambling that has brought them. Even if they win sums of money, they're not going to stop and will still end up losing them all and they'll only see the latter of what you have said when they have finally realized that they've done gambling wrong.

I hope that you won't end up meeting someone, might be a friend of yours or relatives that's also a gambler and will ask you to borrow money. That's because they will get you through their emotions and will ask you nicely to lend them money for some reasons. Some may say directly and honest about gambling it but, you'll never know the reason of others why they are asking money to gamble. It becomes a sickness for them that they can't live without gambling and so, they're finding ways to sustain their addiction through borrowing money. And if there are still lenders that will patronize them, they're going to lose everything that they have.

Because losing the bet is likely, and borrowing again. And then, when they have nothing left, that might push them to sell their things that they worked hard for.

Gamblers who borrows money so that they can be able to gamble always end up losing more because they aren't concentrated when gambling. They only think of winning and not including the lose thought. Gamble is a gamble of luck so if they only think of winning, anytime they lose they wont be comfortable and while they are gambling they won't feel relaxed because they borrowed they money that they are using to gamble.

When a gambler runs out of balance to make gambling bets, he is forced to borrow or borrow money from another source. In this case, we can call it a kind of greed for the gambler because he is forced to borrow money despite repeatedly losing bets to get something extra. In this way, while borrowing money, the gambler fell under a lot of pressure and became completely bankrupt along with the family disorder. That is why a gambler should never borrow money from any other source to gamble. It creates a kind of mental stress and thus a gambler faces a mental disorder situation. This mental state of gambling is considered as one of the main causes of family troubles or problems. So I would never support anyone borrowing money to gamble.

On the moment that you would really be getting addicted then when it comes to decision making then you would really be that totally derailed on which a right minded person would really be doing.On which simply means, that you would really be that having no care about the consequences that you would really be able to face on in regarding on the decisions that you would really be gonna tend to do specially in talks about borrowing money or taking up some loan because this is where usually gamblers specially addicted ones would really be making out such action. Yes, its really indeed a foolish decision but there are actually those people who do really ends up into this condition on where borrowing up money just they do plan to gamble more, whether they are chasing up their loses or trying to chase up on winning a jackpot or on which neither of the two or both.

Never ever borrow money for you to gamble because on the moment that you would be losing those loan amount then you would really be needing to still to pay up those loans and with this then
for sure you would really be having those kind of regret in the end of the line because the loan or simply your problems are really that piling up.

Well said, OP. I consider Gambler who borrow just to gamble as Foolish fellow, I see no reason why a gambler will borrow money just to risk it with casino, when you already understand that winning is not certain, mehnn there are other areas of you life that money would have build, instead of using it for gambling. No matter anything I would not suggest any gambler borrow neither would I lend money to someone for him to gamble with it when I know that there is less possibility of him paying me back through gambling.

Yes that's right, I agree with your idea that everyone should first understand gambling from various sides before they jump in and get involved in gambling, not least because there have been so many cases where in the end they ended up in a situation of addiction and experienced various significant adverse effects that could destroy their lives. And the impact occurs because they do not have the right understanding of how gambling actually is, usually they come for only one reason, namely tempted by the victory that was achieved by others who made them interested in trying to get money.

While it is a fact that gambling is always an activity that leads to one of two possibilities at the end of the session, namely between winning or losing, you must first understand that winning is nothing more than a “chance or possibility” meaning that there is no certainty and guarantee of anything, and besides that we also have to understand that when victory does not occur then we will lose money, and one of the reasons why we must have the right understanding first before engaging in gambling is so that we can apply caution properly and firmly which benefits us to avoid various unwanted bad possibilities.

I see people that borrow money to gamble as addicted gamblers, this is because if you are a responsible gambler you will not gamble when you don't have money. Neither will you go and borrow money because you want to gamble, because you will know that the chance of losing that money is very high. Only adducyed gamblers cannot control themselves and that makes them no to think before making decisions on their gambling activities. Gambling is not a do or die thing, and when you cannot afford to gamble, you ignore it.

you're right on this because I've seen some many people going insane just because they're trying to pay back their bills. For me I won't advise someone to go to the extreme of loaning money just to gamble, maybe it might work out for you for the first day but remember everyday isn't Christmas. And with the process while you went ahead of borrowing money to gamble with if the money goes because is game of risk and luck, so don't think that you might win always remember that borrowing money it's a risk to yourself not to the casino gambling. With the elements you mentioned are good but with all this some people will still go the extreme of selling or meet up a friend to loan money just for him to gamble, the risk is something someone should put first in mind before going ahead and borrow money. You're right on this OP.

Yes, it is important and necessary to know some few tips consigning gambling so that you won’t make any mistake or doing errors Gambling is something that you need to understand very well talk before going into it. It has its strategy I only agree with what you wrote down if you want to succeed in gambling, you should read it to safety precaution to me I called it is safety precaution because you are getting to be able to protect yourself from Gambling damages of minds

For those who do not think of the consequences, then I'm afraid that they could be falling on the category of being a gambling addict. But I do agree with the majority here that borrowing money just for the sake that you can gamble and jump on the risk is very bad. Another thing to add though, here in our country there are a lot of loaning apps though, I mean the temptation is there to take up loans for whatever reasons including gambling.

And the issues arises when it's time to pay for your gambling debt and then you don't have money. You could have a job though, but still it will be another burden for you if you have to pay off your gambling debts. Maybe you can win, but I don't think you will think to pay it off right away as you are going to take the next day again to gamble with that money.

It's true that if you want to borrow money just to gamble, think carefully about it first because it's not certain that you will immediately return the money as promised.


Likewise, when someone is addicted to gambling, he will dare to borrow money from one or two people or even more because the goal is to be able to continue his gambling activities and if he often loses at the casino then he will definitely be confused and think about which one to return. first the loan money. If he hasn't been able to return everything then he will most likely hide to avoid being charged for the loan money and this is really too much and in fact it is already around in our environment perhaps.

I like the second rule from the start post, which says that the game should only be useful entertainment for us. This is a really interesting rule, although it is internally contradictory. You know, many people share the concepts of benefit and entertainment. They mean that there is benefit, which generally results from some serious work, and there is entertainment. Entertainment in general is useless. That is, they do not bring any tangible, visible benefit that could be somehow measured. For example, entertainment does not bring you income, and in many cases even creates expenses. The idea that entertainment can be useful is a pretty bold idea. Can anyone explain this idea further?

This can be very difficult for some people, the randomness of the games themselves is what propels them to keep playing, in a way I think that what they want to achieve is for a way to reign over their luck and win consistently, thinking their hard work or their strategies should at some point work.

But the math behind those games is ruthless and it does not care who you are or how much effort you have put into the games, which is why someone can spend decades and never win anything significant out of gambling, and another person that is gambling for the first time could become a millionaire.

As most people say in this section, we should never do or act like you borrow money and then just use it to play gambling, this kind of decision is really a very wrong move. And the only people who do this, gamblers, are those who really have an addiction. 

Just gamble with the amount that you can lose or the amount that won't hurt you even if you lose. Let's train ourselves to have fun as much as possible, because luck comes in situations we don't expect, and the more we expect to win a large amount of money in gambling, the higher the chances are that we will lose.
