Topic: Those who judge gamblers, only to find themselves gambling. - page 5. (Read 1624 times)

There are people who are there just to criticize because that's what their mouths are made for. But the others who criticize for something good and want to see the betterment of the person they're criticizing are different.

All of us don't have a choice. It's either we don't take that criticism against us because we're gambling and think of ourselves as someone who doesn't life outside gambling.

Or, we just take it and ignore it and become a better person. No matter what we do, criticisms are inevitable even you're a gambler or not.

This is true. Society has had a very big influence on the lives of so many people some are positive influences while some are negative influence. In gambling, such things are seen as being hypocritical. So many people coitizing in society mostly found themselves going into gambling at the end of the day. I understand that some irresponsible gamblers have made gambling to be seen as a wrong practice and that people doing them hurt society. The solution to this is not neglect to go to local shops or casinos because that is why they think these set of persons gamble. I know we dont care what people think but for our personal benefit the online casino should be our home place to gamble and not local shops or casinos.

This all depends on the person's control and his view about gambling activities.  There are still people who love sports and are exposed to gambling advertisements and still able to avoid gambling.


Certain life circumstances can lead a person to gamble and even get hooked to it.  Like when one has too many problems and wants to forget about the stress that problem gives.  Getting drunk to forget about their problems and finding gambling to be of help in spending idle time forgetting about life's pressures while being drunk.  Another thing is social circumstances where one finds the person of his interest is into gambling and wants to impress to win her attention. This supports the fact that life can have an unexpected turn of events like the scenario @OP stated.

People are always too quick to judge others when they have not being in the shoe of the people that they are judging. Never you laugh at anybody conditions because you do not know where you are going to be tomorrow or in what position you are going to be and you will have to do the same things you were criticizing. Many people criticize gambling but they end up gambling as they have no other hope when they encounter the problems they thought they will never have. At times I think it is fate or karma, do not judge people gambling because they can be gambling for fun as they have no joy in their minds or they do not have any other hope of making money and if they can avoid addiction, they will not have any problem gambling.

It's easy to mud sling someone when you are on the other side not until you try it yourself, and the aggressive approach used by sportsbooks and casinos to advertise their products is something that can't  keep you away from trying because they are everywhere, on our TVs, billboards, influencers rocking these products..the welcome bonuses and the alike , I don't see how someone would not try this out especially if you watch sports.

But coming to think about it, how does this whole transition happen from being anti gambler to a gambling guru is it really the finances that draw people to gambling or maybe we just like the fast money 

The thing is that people will try to condemn what they don't understand, or the mirror of themselves, so as to not rouse suspicion against them. In the case of the people who are very argumentative against those who gamble only to be discovered as gamblers themselves, We do not need to iterate any further that these people are ashamed of what they are doing as well, and are persecuting or antagonizing those who gamble freely and openly either to look as if they are the last person on the planet that would commit to such activity, or because of a deep-seated jealousy given the fact that they couldn't openly do this without risking condemnation amongst their peers as well.

The thing is that we can't really do anything about them, wherever you go or whatever you do you will find people who would find ways to hate and antagonize you, so might as well just do whatever you love, long as its within your means and it's not illegal, and don't give a flying fuck about what these people say.

It's your money, you know how to use it, don't let people like these get to you and how you enjoy yourself.

That is why I say most people. I don’t say all people. It might be that you were able to leave them, and then you see no benefit in there because you are talking about class gangsters that will always be suspended from school due to one or two crimes, and you know that it will be of no use to you even if you join them, which is why you made the decision not to follow them. But here we are talking about gambling, where you will have fun and also make a profit from the money that you have staked in the game.
 
So I want you to reason about this fact: you are poor and broke, and you have friends that are gambling and are lucky to be winning their game even if it is not that frequently, and they invite you to join them. Will you join or not? And don’t forget, you hate gambling and you are broke and poor.

Yes, that's right and I think that's a fact in the sense that most people are involved in gambling or are interested in getting involved in this activity when they hear or see big wins achieved by other people, including their friends, who have already been involved in that activity. . Gambling can be fun, but anything can be more fun when one succeeds in achieving a reward, and I think that is why most gamblers focus more on the chance of winning to make money in gambling than putting the goal of looking for entertainment.

Basically, humans are social creatures with feelings, anything can change in them, one of which is because they see something tempting, meaning that even though they previously condemned gambling or gamblers, that doesn't mean it's impossible for them to eventually get involved. in gambling.

One of the possible things to happen into a certain individual is on the moment that they would be making out some judgement into other people's dealing or whatever things that they are getting involved with on which it comes to a time that they will really be making out some conclusions about being bad or something laughable.This is why on the moment that they are making up some decisions on trying it out and ended up on getting hooked then they would really be just swallow on what they had said earlier.

This is why it's never been good that you would be making up conclusions on what other people been doing because you can't be sure that you won't really be that trying it out one day and ending up on the same scenario or condition on what you are seeing.

That's it friend, taking responsibility for ones action is what I usually talk about. Every bad actions has its consequences and when the person that carried out the action is being faced with the consequences of their act, someone might be at the coner judging wrongly. That's why I said some people judge blindly.
Like you said, my friend, if the person judging gamblers finally gets addicted too after joining gambling, he therefore understands what it means. Lol 😂

If gambling was viewed in a normal way, there would not be such a bad attitude towards gambling. People will make mistakes and blame others for those mistakes which is not supportable. Everyone knows what gambling can be like for those who have gotten rich or hit the jackpot, and for those who have lost huge amounts of money. We have ourselves to blame for looking at gambling negatively. We cannot control our greed. Gambling is sure to lose if our desire is not fulfilled even after winning. When we cannot control these things, we again view gambling negatively.

Agreed, and this is the reason why so many people don't reveal anything about their gambling activities even to their families sometimes because if you live in such a place, your family must have the same views as well as the others about things such as gambling. Most people believe gambling is a way to waste your money and I don't say they are wrong, I mean we can see addicted gamblers wasting a lot of money on gambling and they have seen this which is why they believe in this.

There is no point in letting others know that you gamble because even if you are a responsible gambler and you don't spend a lot of time and money on gambling, they wouldn't listen to you or believe what you say, all they would know or think is that you are a gambler and gambling is a bad thing, so you are a bad person as well if you are doing it, that's it.

most times its usually testimonies of few big winners that makes this kind of people go into gambling afterall. In general, its just a few portion of them that do it actually because gambling is pleasing and appealing with a quick return on investment bait which later pulls people in especially those who didnt plan on gambling.

That is why one is never supposed to belittle or judge others based on things they do(as long as they are legal, obviously). Because the world spins too fast and we could end up in a position in which we find ourselves doing things which we would not be very proud of.
For example, I once knew a teacher of mine who taught us history and geography in highschool. It was a catholic school, by the way. Years later and with the growth of importance of social media, she know lives off her erotic pictures and long red hair, in short, she became a "content creator" on Onlyfans.
In the same way, anyone talking against gambling and about how harmful it is, could find themselves trying it during a vacation and getting hooked to it eventually, to the point of not controlling their budget anymore.

Life gets easier when we do not judge others as often and try to better ourselves instead, I think.

There is a statement I always say to people, "never say never" which means that you should never condemn anyone in what they are doing because tomorrow you can find yourself doing same thing and this doesn't only apply to people who condemn gambling or gamblers but to anything that others finds pleasure in, people should respect their decisions. This reminds me of some folks in this forum who condemned the gambling section of the forum and said some negative words about people who post in the gambling section but after mixers where banned most of them joined signature campaigns that requires them to make posts in the gambling section and they were left with no choice than to “eat from their vomit" so this is to say we shouldn't condemn people who does things that we do not like, the only thing you can do is to advise them on how they can go about it without facing much challenges or without doing it the wrong way.
         Initially, a lot of people were not concerned about gambling because the economy was in good shape and a lot of people had jobs they engaged in to earn a living and people who play gambling those days do hide themselves just because they don't want people to say bad words or categorize them as wayward people who prefers wasting their money to gambling instead of using their money on meaningful things but today majority of the masses now are into gambling both people that have minor jobs and those with comfortable jobs reason being that the economy is now in a unfriendly state where people no longer get enough of what they want and they find gambling as an alternative means to make huge, quick and easy money without so much stress.

It simply just means --they are jealous. These people naturally exist and no matter what we do in life, they keep on eyeing us. And the joke thing is that when we win, they'll be asking for some money and trying to be good, lol.

Honestly, it is difficult to understand their mindset and I say to myself that, they will soon realize that gambling is not a thing that makes us bad but it is our unacceptable behavior. But I don't expect them to show appreciation towards gambling, not all are able to do that when in the first place, they mark gambling already as bad. But guess what, these people never improved.

For someone to receive criticism from others is a normal thing, but often this criticism is based on motivation so that when gambling they don't overdo it, it depends on the person who views the criticism as degrading or even vice versa and there are also those who are misguided in this regard and makes himself feel inferior, even though the goal is not like that, the person who gives criticism has different experiences from each player, so in conclusion, it is much better to accept someone's criticism so that it is more meaningful when playing gambling.

That's for sure, a true story about my own friend.
I have an anti-gambling friend, he sells noodles and juice, at first he always grumbled when he saw us gambling, he said blah, blah, blah, basically he got a headache when he grumbled, As time went by there were many trade competitors, his sales were not the same as before, perhaps changes in society's economy were narrow, one night he complained about problems with his trade, he went with us to look for fresh air, As usual, we still bet on gambling using an Android, that day he didn't grumble any more, so we didn't really care about that because it was normal for him to grumble, After walking an hour, I was surprised to hear my friend tell me to register at the casino we were playing at, of course I didn't stay silent, I immediately agreed and did it, strangely enough, this happened more or less seven months ago, but now he/his friend is actually more enthusiastic about betting.

That is, unexpected changes can happen to anyone under any circumstances, the final solution is gambling of their choice.

It seems that it's like the same stories that we're having coming from gamblers who become addicted.

We're all vulnerable and I think you mean to say that at first they think they're responsible gamblers.

But in the end, they end up funding themselves more money that they can't afford to lose and lose it all.

Criticism is being suppressed after the ideology has improved, and the social environment is proactively upgrading and becoming more liberal about things like gambling because in reality, judgment stems from us being more special than the crowd and this society just needs such a spark to spark debate. But when the majority and gamblers start to be equal in number, the people who judge others start to quietly leave and sometimes they also start bringing money to gambling, of course, many gamblers appear intelligent enough to judge other gamblers, seeking their own satisfaction.
