And even more wrong if he did not entrust his money to his wife but instead used it for gambling. It was a fatal mistake and he should immediately change his habit or stop gambling. If he can entrust his money to his wife, he will find that she will try to use the money from him to support the needs of the family and she may also prefer to save the remaining money so they have money for urgent needs. Usually, women are more adept at managing family finances so that the money we give will be enough to meet our family's needs. So if you are married, it is better to entrust money to your wife and spend less time gambling because family is everything to you.

I will share somewhat of what I call my personal experience when we are playing for fun and we are playing to win something.I will take an example of signature earnings which an average of 80-100 dollars weekly and when I want to win something I start playing with full balance and hoping to win it big by playing longer,this has more risks than benefits though as it can suck you in until you lose it all.

When I play for fun I immediately withdraw like 80% of the amount and I keep playing with only 20% of funds and whatever happens happens I will not be sad,this is what I call to play for fun which usually involves playing little money compared to when you play to win it big you need a much bigger balance for that and that is the difference between the two.

when you are talking about gambling , it is stupid to believe that someone is completely playing just to have fun and not to at least win , because the reality here is that of course some of us wanted to have fun when playing but one part of their mind and heart are aiming to win though they will accept the losses
in which means there are not 100% of fun and enjoying but of course some part are to win.
but what you said is also correct that some of them wanted to play with their buddies but remember that all the money the come to gamble are the amount to risk , while one will win then meaning others must lose.
yes they all have fun but not all are successful in their plans .
so yes they play to have fun but they also play to win.

If you have set 30 usdt to gamble and then lose and deposit some more money then it is a mistake not your responsibility because you cannot be sure that the money you have deposited can generate a certain amount of money because in gambling what will definitely come is defeat.
A family member can still gamble if he can control his finances so that what should be for the family is not lost in gambling.
A gambler must always have a sense of responsibility in making every decision so that what he does still has limits and is not too careless because gambling can spend any amount of money in just a short time.

Man, I'll tell you, entrusting your money with your wife is not wrong and never was. What's wrong is, when you're not sharing your money with your wife. I mean you two have conjugal property, what you earned is also her property. Women who don't have day jobs and a full time mom usually has a very good financial management. So these wives are most probably going to help you control your unwanted spendings in gambling. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Also, if you're married I don't think entrusting your money to your parents is necessary. Not sure about your culture, but in my country that's definitely a big insult to your wife, except for a wife who has bad financial management, usually these are the kind of wives who would also like to gamble.

Yes , I completely agree with what you say, it may be that many do not control their way of gambling and that may leave them without money at a certain time , that is why I say if I have , let's say, 30usd willing to lose playing, I do it and I play with all the freedom possible, but without exceeding those 30usd, for me that is having responsibility, and it is as you say, when you have a wife, children, and you want to play in a casino , you should have even more responsibility, because you don't there is an excuse if someone spends the money that is earmarked for the expense of basic things or basic needs for them.

You are absolutely correct, it is pretty difficult to find really wealthy men who are so glued or addicted to gambling, if there be any, then there is also the possibility that such person has been addicted to gambling before getting rich through it or other means.

I have a guy in my neighborhood who was and still is really into sports betting, wouldn't call him addicted yet but a day does not pass without him putting up some bets, he got really rich from his investment in crypto currency back in 2020, and till now, many still think and believe he made his money from gambling, and see no reason to advice him to stop or reduce the rate at which he throws money at sports betting.

People who can manage finances well, so they won't be addicted, of course, will know the risks to take, but they are ready, they will only try the game for the pleasure they want, not to get more that they don't want, I believe not everyone will play Gambling is the same, of course there is a better reason than that, so they can take stricter measures not to spend more money on gambling on the other hand, we have to be like that so that it doesn't become a problem that can be caused.

Someone who is addicted, of course, will think higher that they dream of getting rich quickly from gambling, but the fact is indeed different, we know that gambling will not be as smooth as what they think, but someone who is passionate about gambling for the sake of pleasure, he will not think about getting rich quickly from gambling. .

There are people who cant really stood still with their decisions in life, doesnt matter if this one pertains with gambling or not which its never been that a good behavior or quality just like this on which you cant really be able to follow on what you are really that tending to do so with your current dealings or engagement.How much more with gambling? It would really be that significant that you should really be that sensible when it comes to this manner considering we are talking some potential losses on here on which if you arent that good on making out some good or wise decisions then you would definitely be having some huge problems afterwards. Just like on what most people been saying on here is that gambling is for fun, bet only on the amount which you can afford to lose and on the amount which you can afford to take and dont make
yourself find that you are in a situation on which you are really that chasing up your losses.

Its not an investment, its not a source of income, its not a guaranteed profits or money making. This is where usually people do fall into this kind of stuff just because they do really have that kind of wrong belief
and once they would really be pushing it, then reality kicks in.Then this is where people do mess out their entire lives just because they had go into the wrong decision.

I think not all, not all people who wants to gamble has the reason for it to gain more. Some of those people who knows how to manage their money also gamble because they just want to have fun, most of the people I know prefer traditional ones because they want to see their amigos and amigas in gambling. We can't deny the fact that those people who fall into addiction are the ones who doesn't have a lot of money or those who believe that gamble will be their only want to get rich.

Well that's true as most people with good financial management skills don't tend to gamble. They see it as unnecessary risk, and reward ratio is too low. But i personally know some people with good financial management skills that just love gambling so much that they want to take the risk. They are just good at keeping seperate balances for it so that they won't be blowing their budget. Not every gambler gets so addicted that they want to compromise their budget. Those are just the addicts you hear about. Lots of people with addiction that are battling against it every day can manage their addiction. And i am not at all downplaying others problem with gambling. I am just saying that it's definitely not for everyone.

Only a person who is responsible regarding everything in their life can have such discipline in gambling, it is because they are already in practice of keeping things disciplined especially when it comes to spending money. If you are a family person, you can easily manage such things since you know you have other responsibilities as well.

For someone who is not generally responsible in their life, has no responsibilities or things to handle, and has access to money, it becomes very difficult for them to have a dedicated budget for gambling and keep it disciplined.

I think the average gambler or man has bad financial management, I experienced that being a wasteful person and could never manage my finances. I once a few years ago my savings ran out due to gambling, but now my wife is assisting me to manage my finances because I entrusted her with it, so I can be more organized now to gamble even with small bets.

I think there's nothing wrong with entrusting someone or one of our families, be it our wife or mother, to manage finances so that they don't run out easily because of gambling or waste in financial management. I admit honestly that indeed I have bad financial management 

the reason why a lot are getting trouble with gambling is that they lose their grip because of that hope. hence, many gamblers are going astray. they may have set their limits at early stages of their gambling activities but once they suffer losses, that's when the drive of recovering such loss is getting bolder. well, that's the normal reaction of any gambler esp if he is not firm with his decisions. this is why we are hearing stories of desperate moves from the gamblers. so if you know you are on the brink of such situation, better pull off while you are still thinking straight.

Just say it straight, gambling result is random and no one knows whether they will win or not.  Even sportsbetting which is considered as skill-based game is still affected by randomness reason why we see underdogs winning an upset.


Obviously if your mind is sound, you can always separate hope and reality simply by considering factors that make hope and reality differ from each other.  Those gamblers who play with the money they can afford to lose can always shrug off their losses because they are not affected at most.


Everyone wanted a huge winnings but a sane people will always reject huge winnings if it will require his life in return.



I second this  .

And this is the fact, no any gambling casino can restrict you from winining if yoy didi not do thatbto yourself at first, fine and good they were out for business and to make money but not on our own detriment, which means if you knows how to gamble and win, they can't stop you from getting your winnings and same is applicable vise versa when you pay them to gamble, they must provide you with the service you're paying them for, at the end, no one feels cheated or denied his right in gambling except you fall into the scam casino projects.

Okay, folks, let's jump into the firestorm about gambling – entertainment or dangerous game? Picture this – gambling is like dancing the mambo with Lady Fortune. Sometimes you're lifted high, and other times, she steps on you like a loser. It's like a high-roller dance-off, but no guarantees you'll win!

The big question: Can we separate hope from reality? Can we walk away from the casino, shrugging it off like it's a casual night? Resisting a gold-encrusted apple – can we say no to the massive jackpot?

But careful! Don't think of gambling as a career. It's a mesmerizing tune that'll lead you astray if you forget the limits. Let's enjoy the show, but keep our wallets safe, people!

But some people are bad money managers, and that is not to blame on them. If their wives or parents are willing to help, why not? It's wise to know when to ask for help. I remember that there was certain project for the economic development of India, but focused in women because men spent everything in vice.

With time, they should learn how to manage their money, but as the first leap it can be a good point to start, and nothing to be ashamed of.

Letting your wife or parents to hold your money aren't good option. Not all wife or parents will allow you to give money for your fun activity, so when you ask it to feel your satisfy, they will always say no and you will mad. Then you lost your trust and there's might an internal conflict, you choose to hold your money by yourself.

Asking someone to hold your money is a sign if you're have a bad money management and they should teach you instead of agree to hold your money.

If you play as much as you want, you are not limiting your self already. Maybe there are people who are not really in to gambling and they think betting minimal amounts for 20 to 30 rolls in a casino game is already too much for them but most people are not like that. They always can't get enough when it comes to gambling.

These people needs to limit their selves before it interferes with their life. Other than that, it will be better if your wife hold your money for you. If you don't have a wife yet, then you must still have your parents, or other people that you trust the most because once we see our balances, the temptation can always kicks in.
