Topic: Those who judge gamblers, only to find themselves gambling. - page 8. (Read 1606 times)

1. In the beginning they may have been doing well financially and see no reason to gamble, maybe life later on throws them a financial curveball, or perhaps responsibility compels them to look for quick money through gambling. If not attempting gambling was an ethic for them they should have stuck to another alternative why did they choose this one?

Usually, people who never gamble, say bad about gambling. Once they gamble themselves, they tend to like it.

However, it is a sad story to see people who cast away gamblers thinking they are irresponsible, and then fund themselves on this same web doing the same thing. It reminds me of how vulnerable humans can be, and that anyone can change habits when a condition falls on them.

At first some judge gamblers often and later they become gambling addicts. I found it very serious to be curious and know what may have been their reason for the sudden change of mind.

At first some judge gamblers often and later they become gambling addicts. I found it very serious to be curious and know what may have been their reason for the sudden change of mind. I know that there are difficult times to make money and maintain money, which is a world problem. I have had some thoughts on it and this is what I think may have been the reason.

2. On second thought. I feel it is the influence and conviction of people around them who are into gambling that made them go into gambling at the end of the day.

Some risks are not just worth taking. It is better to look for other means that can  guarantee no loss to look for the money than to go for gambling. But I also do not see the need for this topic which I have also posted about before. I do not like this topic because gambling is not and should not be a way of making money. Gambling should be for fun. We all know in life that people changes. Someone that is advising you today may have change of mind tomorrow. Even someone that is not gambling can later see excitement in gambling and begin to gamble. But it should not be because he wants to use gambling to earn money.

And what's actually your point? Although it is indeed a sad story when somebody who discourages his/her gambler friends from their vice ends up addicted to gambling himself/herself, it doesn't in any way diminish the value of his/her advice.

For me personally, this is a very subjective thing, because people can start gambling for various reasons to start with. although, previously they made fun of people who liked to gamble. It could be that the argument you mentioned is the beginning of someone starting to gamble, even though previously they often judged gamblers. However, with the pressure that comes with financial problems, a person is powerless and takes shortcuts just to get quick money, even from gambling.
second point, environmental or social factors can influence a person's mindset whatever it is. whether it's gambling, or other types of hobbies. even though, at first they didn't like him or even made fun of him. For me, this phenomenon is a common thing that happens to all of us in the community. It could be that there are many who are reluctant to gamble at first. However, because of frequent discussions they try to start new adventures with gambling. or, just want to know a fun hobby that involves gambling.

Well, there are many reasons for someone to start something they initially scoffed at. However, gradually they become more involved than we are. one thing that is interesting about what you said, "how vulnerable humans are" and here we are, who sometimes act against the grain even though we don't like it at first. like gambling, there are those who don't like it at all. But gradually, they turn around and can even become someone who is more superior than the previous gamblers in their environment.

My believe is that this set of people that condemns gambling and later on starts to gamble are mostly pushed into it because of hardship. Frustration and poverty can make people to engage in what they condemn, when they are in difficult situations and they begin to hear about how a person that is in similar situation gambled and won huge amount of money that changed their lives. They will summon faith that they will win too and change their story from poverty to riches, forgetting that the probability of loosing is greater than winning in gambling.

People should learn not to judge gamblers because it's not all of them that gambles irresponsibly and one day they too might find a reason to gamble, either for fun or to make money.

It may not be totally because they want to earn quick money, but some people find their way into gambling because they may have tried some few games via their friends or colleagues up until they got hooked into it as well. In this life, sometimes what will happen to you is very ironic. Your principles in life is somehow tested once you traverse your journey in life.
