As someone who is active on social media it would be very difficult for you to not see how people are making money out of gambling. Also if you're a sports fan all you see while watching a game are gambling ads. These things make people tend to want to gamble because it is presented una away to make you earn money all the time. It is till you start that you realize that it's not always like that. A lot of caution has to be applied.
When somebody has the mindset that gambling can be a second source of income for I feel they have lost the plot before they even start.

I am a gambler but I don't think I'd teach someone to become a gambler. If they come to me and ask questions on how to use a particular casino or how to find an account or how to play a particular game I might explain, but to teach you everything about gambling from the beginning is not something i can do.
First, the person has to have the right understanding that gambling won't become a second source of income. You can earn money from it from time to time, but it's not a source of income.

I will not advice anyone for who I care about or anyone person to gamble to earn some extra income, it's a terrible financial advice.
first if we just tell a random person who doesn't surf internet much, to gamble for earning he will tell it's not possible because many people learn this kind of tips and advices through internet and social media.
I have seen youtubers who run their channel by giving advice and tricks to win at gambling and earn easy income,  I have seen instagram ads where people are selling their service or telegram membership to how to gamble for earning, or selling signals for what will come next of roulette wheel LOL. and also many people fall for these scams.

Yes why not but show her your stat your bad stat so she'll know that playing in casinos is not a way to make money and explain to her all the facts about gambling that gambling is not a way to make money, that gambling is for entertainment only and there is such a thing as a house edge and the house always win, the longer you play, the bigger the house has a chance to beat you.

She will be discouraged from playing for money once she understands the facts about gambling, and the best and the easiest game to play that you can recommend to her is dice and slot, guide and monitor her to make sure that she plays within what you taught her about the facts on gambling.

Difficult situation, OP. I think you can introduce her to gambling like you personally do it but do not spoon feed her the details step bu step. It’s scary that if one day she actually actually tried gambling hoping for a big win without proper research on her own, she would blame you. She should learn and experience playing with little bets first so she can learn her risk tolerance and her gameplay. Gambling shouldnt even be considered a regular source of income. My advise to introduce her to gambling is because she is your friend and she trusts you. Give a disclaimer that gambling involves risk and is not a reliable way to earn income. If she's looking for a second income source, there are many other options that are more stable and sustainable. Try to encourage her to explore skills, investments or other things. The two of you can do it together

If we have explained well the process of the game he will play, of course he can think about whether he can actually get income from the game we explained earlier or whether there will only be losses from the game and he won't get anything.
In my opinion, there is no gambling that can win according to what we want, the habit that I often get is that when we don't think about winning, that's when we win and when we are chasing victory, it is very difficult to win the game.

Are you a professional gambler who only gambles for a living? Why did she come to you?

If I had a choice - to get knowledge about gambling in my youth or not I would probably choose to bypass this sphere, because my parents had a hard time when I disappeared in the evenings in a land-based casino, in addition, I lost a lot of money.

In my opinion it's better to teach this girl how to make money on cryptocurrencies. It's less risky.

Actually, there is nothing to teach someone about gambling since there is nothing really special about it, atleast, this is what I personally think. I myself can never accept to bring anyone into gambling, except I get to a stage where I've become a professional in it and I am very sure that with my help, such person wil make more profit than loses.

For example, if I become very good in sports betting, and I am always winning most of my games, I did be very confident to introduce it to someone else who asked to be introduced because I know with my guidance, he or she will make more profit than loses. But then., in my current state, I can never accept to teach anybody anything about gambling, because when he or she loses, I wil be the one to be blamed.

And for me, first games for a beginner who wants to stand a better of consistent winning is sports betting, though nothing is wrong starting with slot games, since the player might become so lucky to win the highest multiplier very early while starting out on gambling.

Check whether he is capable on managing gambling or if you have better under on gambling because you might introduce her to a devastating lose if he is not capable on handling gambling activities.

If I were you, I will not introduce her especially if he is a close friend but there’s a chance that she will seek it by herself which is more dangerous. This is a dilemma so I think teaching her how dangerous gambling is best thing you can do on this matter.

This is the right thing to do. He has to show her what she need to know and in this case, let the decision be hers. Just like you said, it will not be wise allowing her to involve her money at the beginning until she has mastered the game and how to go about making selections and using the platform. What I find unfair is refusal to teach her because you never can tell her motivation for seeking such knowledge and if maybe that will bring her breakthrough.

The first step in such teacher should usually involve the risk associated with gambling. She has to understand that as much as gambling can generate huge profits, it can also pose great risk to ones financial savings. So the teaching should cover both good side of gambling and the pain that can come from losses. From this point she should be able to check her side to confirm if she is willing to give it a try or not.

Your decision to discourage him was 100% the right decision. But will your friend just give up and not look for it himself? So that's the problem, maybe on the other hand you have politely rejected him but it doesn't rule out the possibility that beyond your knowledge he is actually looking for other alternatives and with adequate internet he will finally find what he is looking for. This problem is your responsibility again to prevent it because he himself decided to gamble, regardless of whether he is addicted or not, he will definitely tell you what you have said before about the risks of gambling.

You already did the right thing to do in this case. Do you seriously have second thoughts on your advise to her? Well, I have to remind you not to, because she is looking for a 2nd source of income in the first place, not something that could potentially drain her income from her primary source. She has wrong intention, so she better keep her hands off from gambling otherwise she'll just get disappointed or worse she'll get broke in just a short period of time, especially when she finally experience how it feels like to win then start losing then chasing for those losses.
With that being said, just stick to that advise and stand firm to it.  

That's right guys, your statement is very good if anyone asks to be taught how to gamble whether it's your friend, relative or whoever it's better to just avoid it, don't respond because of course you will never know about what will happen to that person or what it means how bad the impact of gambling will be on him, and if it really happens then I'm sure you are the first person who will be targeted, if they lose or slump with the defeat that always dominates then obviously they will blame you because you taught him on the first day.

But on the other hand it is still not certain what their purpose of gambling is, I think you can find out their intentions and goals from the situation, and you can ask them about their reasons and goals, if only they come because they are motivated to see the victory that others have won then it is clear that it can be concluded that their goal is to make money, and you better not teach them. on the other hand they might say that they just want to find entertainment, don't care about that because even though the intention is like that it is not impossible over time it is very likely that they will also become one of the addicted. Like you said it's too risky and I'm not sure they can withstand all the pressure of the problem, so it's better to just avoid it like you said.

In my opinion you did the right thing, you didn't lie to her, you were sincere and honest with her. I also think that you should have also told him about many cases of people who got into gambling and lost everything in a few years and in this case where your friend is in a situation where she believes that gambling could be her salvation her in terms of obtaining more income, it would have been good if you had done research on the internet about articles that are in the form of testimonials from people who became addicted and lost everything and showed her these links so she could read, I say this because people There is a problem that they only believe in things that they can see proof of

for example, you explained to her about the risks of gambling and the danger of looking at gambling as a source of income, but did you see her tell you that she believes in you? even if she tells you that she believes in you, when she goes to ask someone else about gambling and that other person is a greedy person who wants to make money from referrals even if it means being dishonest with that woman, then he will say good things about gambling and this woman will believe him because he is telling her what she wants to hear and that is the factor that has the greatest weight in society.

Most people, when they get it into their heads that gambling is a source of income, they expect to hear the same thing from other people that they think. No matter how much you love the person who tells you that this is not true, they will not believe this person who truly loves them and the result is that they will fall into disgrace, I think that even though you have been sincere and honest with them , she will still continue asking questions of other people, she will not do any research. Why do I say that? I say this because if she had first done research on the internet, then she would have discovered that gambling is not something that gives guaranteed profit and should not be seen as a source of income, she would have seen how gambling can be destructive in in case people exaggerate and after that she wouldn't have asked you anything

I am well aware that one can have big or small wins, but her intention to use gambling as an alternative source of income is faulty. If she wants another source of income, let her save money and use it to start a business or invest in Bitcoin. The returns from gambling are not stable, therefore it shouldn't be perceived as another source of income.

You don't have to discourage her from gambling but there is a need for her to change her mindset towards gambling. Educate her about gambling and see if she can change her perception of the activity. Regarding the best game for her, I think she should go for games that interest her. Gambling should be a combination of fun and profit, so she has to enjoy the game she plays. I suggest you show her some games and check the one she likes best. If she is a sports fan, sportsbet might be ideal. She will not learn everything about gambling in one day, as she keeps gaming her experience will widen.    

As you've said, your friend wants you to teach her how to gamble and the main reason is she wants to generate other sources of income which is for me, if you really want to earn additional income, gambling is not adviseable due to some possible negative outcome that may happen. You did the right thing that you explain what is the true essense of gambling in a person's life and I think, you didn't discourage her from the start because you already told everything about gambling to her so that she could have an idea about it. It's just that, you dont want her to become addicted in gambling and instead of gaining extra income, possible that she will lose in gambling and worst is being in debt.

If you are really concern to your friend and you are willing to help her, you can introduce her in some other ventures like doing business and submit for a part time job instead of teaching her how to gamble. Gambling should not considered as income.

This won't age very well, because your friend is looking forward to start earning income from gambling, you will likely be hated for it later or hold responsible if she gets addicted, I think it's for the greater good to say No to her, teach her something else, something that's easier to understand, like investing.

If she doesn't have a job it's better to tell her to get one first, she will be able to be a good gambler if she is making money from something else, she will invest and also take risks on gambling, so even if she get wrecked at first she will have to work to make money again.

Those who feels discomfort with gambling are people who can't make money off something else and the have gambling as the only solution which is a very bad method.

The only thing I find convenient in teaching people is buying assets and holding it, go back to your jobs and make money, use part of the money on fun things like gambling, it's simple.

The mistake many beginners make when gambling is that they tend to look for games that are simple, easy to learn, and can make money quickly. Usually their choice will fall on slots and board games, and this is where the casino platform will manipulate them. The casino platform will give them the opportunity to play with lots of bonuses and winnings in the beginning. When they are interested in playing and depositing larger amounts, they will start to lose and in the end the money they deposited will run out and so on.
I'm not saying that gambling is wrong, but looking for quick money from gambling is wrong, because many people with this mindset gamble to make quick money and in the end they lose their money. Gambling is not a place to make quick money, it is just entertainment.

In my perspective, you did the right thing.

Gambling is a risky venture for profit generation. Not everyone becomes successful in gambling despite having the fund to bet and play. Most people often lose because they are fixated with the thought of earning big when in fact it isn't very easy to achieve it. In you old friend's case, her main motivation is earning money by making gambling as a side job. While it is plausible, it is also full of uncertainty. Winning isn't guaranteed after all. So if she doesn't have enough fund to begin with now, and can't afford to lose much, then I suppose she owe you one by discouraging her in gambling.

If ever she persists that you introduce her into gambling in the future or later on, just make sure to let her know all the advantages as well as the disadvantages of it. They deserve to know that gambling has its dark side too. Gambling doesn't equate to getting rich quickly.

I really avoid it when someone asks for help to teach them about gambling, and I have never and will never invite someone who doesn't gamble to get involved in gambling. Because gambling is too risky. And when someone we teach to gamble or someone we invite to go into gambling, and that someone experiences a loss or is trapped in the world of gambling (gambling addiction) then this will be a moral and mental burden for those of us who invite and teach him about it. gambling. unless we don't care about that person.

For me I feel you made the right decision, I wouldn't recommend teaching anyone how to gamble, it is easier to learn but almost impossible to unlearn, I still wish it were possible for me to unlearn gambling. Not that I regret, but I do regret it at some point, because I feel I've lost more than I've won, which is of course how gambling was programmed, always in favor of the casino. So what if you teach her and she lacks the ability to control her gambling habit, then that way, her reason and motives for learning gambling would be defeated, because that way, she wouldn't be making extra income as she had in mind earlier, it would actually turn out to be the opposite.

But if you must teach her, I feel first you must first educate her on the risks of gambling and tell her that gambling doesn't offer her a 100% assurance of making profit all the time. And then you can introduce her to gambling with games that requires her IQ or intelligence and skill to win such as poker.
