Topic: turned gambler after investing in BTC or investor turned gambler? - page 4. (Read 665 times)

I do gamble but on a very controlled manner which does simply implies that i could really be an investor and at the same time you would really be an investor.As long you do have the money
then you could do everything you do want but since his son might be still not aware on how to save up BTC and beleiving that he could only make use of it on the time he do gamble
then he would soon realize that it wasnt really worth on wasting up those coins but instead it would be worth if those would be accumulated and save up.
Being a gambling and investor then it would be varying in towards your actions.

The gambler can turn into the investor and vice versa, it depends on the impression and passion of the person. Personally, I learned to gamble in my childhood with my classmates, but I am not addicted. I have my own style. I can play when I want to, and I do not take gambling as a source of income, but only for entertainment. At the moment I run a shop and allocate a monthly budget that I invest in encryption. And sometimes, when I feel bored, I join online gambling, enjoy some games, and chat with other gamblers in order to change the routine.

I am none to be honest. I just simply invest and hold. Furthermore, I am a holder. This has a lot to do with my religion. I am a Muslim and gambling is prohibited in Islam.
Gambling is like an addiction, Once you get into it, you can't come out. I don't know about you guys, but I find gambling no fun at all. But as this is gambling section, don't mind my word and carry on what you are doing so far.

i can see that as well. most of the gamers who  stays in front of the computer 247 often just wanna sit wearing reading glass with a grade of 3.5+.
a gamer will have a set of friends a like who contributes more of their gaming experience and when exposed to BTC or crypto, they may end up playing the P2E games and not Bitcoin Casinos.

i consider myself an investor but sometimes also gamble. learned to gamble along the way.

there is no trigger someone to become a gambler. all of them are in themselves.
a gamer or investor in my opinion is not one of the triggers for someone to become a gambler. a gamer and an investor already have their own goals. I mean a gamer's goal is to play games and an investor's goal is to invest to earn money in the future.
If we say that a gamer has a greater chance of becoming a gambler, I don't agree because there are so many gamers out there who don't become gamblers, because they only think about entertainment. although gambling is also one of entertainment but gambling is like luxury entertainment.
but if we say investors have a greater chance of becoming gamblers, that I also disagree. because investors think more about making money in the future, not thinking about making money for now. because gambling can be used to make money at any time even though the chances of winning are small.


from all my words above the conclusion is that the biggest opportunity to become a gambler is not a gamer or an investor but from himself.


for myself at first my father was a gambler and every time when I was little I found out my father gambled and when I grew up I tried to try gambling and to this day I still do it. but I was originally not a gamer or investor just an ordinary person

Only two people are interested in voting so farand have answered, I answered investors turned gamblers, gambling was not something I naturally did before getting to know crypto and when I started into crypto I really just wanted to invest and get profits from investing and trading but the pandemic led me to become know about online gambling but so far I can still control myself, only play when there is really money that can be used to play

more precisely if I win big from gambling then I will become an investor for several crypto companies, because if on the other hand I have a lot of money as an investor then playing gambling it will spend my money every time, so playing gambling until you win big then becoming an investor will look wiser, BTW I think that child is just a gamer and not a gambler because true gamblers usually still have time to socialize with outsiders while people who are busy being gamers are more likely to be engrossed in their room 

The reason why you turned out to an occasional gambler is just because you're promoting a casino for that you need to have basic knowledge about casino and gambling works but this has no relationship with investment and BTC. Millennials are more into the online games and also there is potential to earn a lot by gaming so all we need is to have skills and management of our knowledge.

First I was a gamer,I played from SNES-Super Nintendo Entertainment System up to Playstation 2,3 and lately 4,which I still do.In the moment that I was introduced to Bitcoin several years ago I immediately was looking for ways to spend it and the gambling industry was all over the place with many ads even in paid to click sites or micro earning sites so I ended up trying and I am still a gambler today.

This to say that an investor turning into a gambler has much less chances than a gamer has to become a gambler because after all gambling is just some other form of game where you can even win money.

The first scenario is more likely to happen.

Remember that gambling websites have been advertised continuously in the internet. Given that the son also plays video games, it is inevitable that he will encounter some crates while he is playing. While these "crates" are not gambling in a cryptocurrency sense, it is pretty much an introduction to gambling especially if he spends money on it.

I am actually a gambler that became an investor. But before I became a gambler, I was an avid gamer and my first experience with crates is when Dota 2 introduced their crate-key system which turned me into a gambler.

I don't think there's many people who start to become investor when they're mainly a gambler, because they choose gambler since they can't wait the return for long time, so they skip the process and gamble it in order to make money. Of course few people can become investor when he was a gambler, but it's after gambler already ruined his life and he want to start his life from zero. Usually it's already too late, many people are become criminal or never learn from their mistakes.

MotherofFvckit! I messed-up. Okay, I just edited it lol so my mind is just not arranged this time. I also reset the poll. Sorry for those who had voted, hope to see you vote again.

So far: there were 4 who voted investor then turned a gambler.
It's now fixed, maybe the other option will then be voted also. We can't all be investors and then started gambling after it or we're all surrounded by BI.  

I did not find a correlation between investors or gamers versus gamblers, I think you are talking about a different realm. Basically gamblers can come from any background as a result of stumbling on interesting advertisements, hearing people's experiences or they just want to try something new at first, regardless of what currency they started their first gambling with.

It depends on what type of a person you are. If you are into risks, no matter what activity you were from, there is a chance that you become a gambler or an investor or both (relative to one another since we are talking about risk). On the other hand there are gamers who are not into gambling but ofcourse it is wrong to generalize. There are gamers who are putting bets on the game but I doubt it is only the money they are into but also with the game they are playing. Unlike with gambling wherein people are just into profit. We are making choices freely and if you are definitely responsible to whatever path you would be trying to engage yourself with.

I will not deny that I started as an investor and later became a gambler here in crypto gambling. But I'm not saying that it was a bad influence, that's not what I mean. I just tried it from the beginning until I got addicted to it over time.

    Now, let's go back to your question, if the child is a gamer, I don't think there is a problem with that unless the child has an idea about Bitcoin and knows where his parent's bitcoin is, from the account and password, because in this matter it is possible to happen and it is also possible not if it is not a gambler.

Sometimes the ads of this forum which is mostly gambling waken up our interest to try what those offers can give to us and its just we enjoy playing that's why some of people turn to become gambler. Maybe those whales we see betting some huge money are the real gambler since maybe they find some easiest solution where they can bet some huge amount without getting flag by their banks.

It's easier for a gamer to become a gambler because all the elements of gambling and risk that all gamers are experiencing are the same when you are gambling, they buy items and take a risk in trying to beat their opponents in the case of casino gamblers are fighting the house edge, when a gamer decides to make a transition, it will be easier because they almost have the same interface.

I am an investor before I became a gambler, but there are a lot of risks involved in gambling because you can wipe all your money in one session compared to investing you can trade or dump your investment and you still have something left.

I am neither of the two mentioned. I'd like to label myself as a risk-taker rather than a gambler.

The moment I learned about crypto, I decided to take a risk in it because who knows, it might be worth the shot. And it is. You just have to have a good self-control. Discipline is a must in investing and trading. Most especially in gambling if you're going to make it as one of your source of income. This is why it is important to know the pros and cons of risk taking and gambling in general. You must know the basics such as how to analyze and assess, how to make a strategy, and the likes to have higher chances of winning.

However, it is not really advisable to make gambling as your main source of income. It should just be your way or outlet to release stress. And if ever you really will insist to make a profit out of it, you should be ready for the consequences.

I go for the two options!
A gamer can become a responsible gambler for the sake of passion, time spent, and the joy of winning, but this is dependent on how the boy handles it from the start. The same goes for bitcoin investors, the bitcoin orientation you receive from the start determines whether you will remain true investors or have gambling in your gene. I'm not sure why people are afraid of gamers these days turning into addicted gamblers, I remember hanging out as a kid at a gaming house with my friends for fun, betting against each other, and my parents didn't see the big picture of us becoming gamblers at the end of the day, but today parents are afraid that their children will become gamblers.

With today's competition in esports, it's very highly likely that gamers can be turned into easy gamblers. There's no question about that and that's a high probability so the woman should really be worried about it. How old is the son then? If he's in the teenage years, well, that's one of the stages that curiosity will tick in for these youngsters. Just tell the woman that doesn't give her BTC to her son and just keep it to herself so that she's the one managing the ins and outs of the transactions.
