I want to ask a question. And I need serious answer from this forum, and my question is WHY DOES A GAMBLER DON'T HAVE A SAVINGS.
In my country (Nigeria) there are many gamblers who don't have savings and it isn't help matters at all. Most of these gamblers can't afford for there families but they can afford money they will use to gamble. So why are they not having savings that they can use to help there families in time of lack. Like they said, we save money so money can save us tomorrow. But these gamblers doesn't know that.
You made mentioned of Nigeria and that caught my attention, I wouldn't say your argument is false, it could be that your fact is coming from your circle but I can assure you that I know people who take gambling as a business and they do risk management every day, they know their budget and how much to stake, how much they are willing to lose and also know their limits for the day, they don't just play to earn, they have a foundation and channels they support the street financially because only a street knows a street.
You might heard of the famous Nigeria Sporting bet guy name Ekitipikin, this guy has won millions and millions multiple times, even last week, I witnessed it my self as I also won from his betting code, he is living his dream, nice house and also other business he is running from all the money he won from gambling, so get your facts right before you say things.
