Topic: Will You Stop Gambling Even If You're Doing Great If This Happens To You - page 7. (Read 748 times)

Gamblers will always find a way.

But for the sake of the discussion then I think I will respect my father's wish to stop gambling, without inheritance or not. Even with how successful you are in gambling there will always be the losing side and I think my father just wishes me to avoid that kind of position especially if there's a lot of money that will be given from the inheritance. I mean, he must've known that if everything goes south with my hobby, I might put my eye on the money that he has given and spend it without even thinking ahead.
Our fathers knew what is best for us and I think we should not be stubborn when they have an important wish like this. Soon, they will be gone, at least making them happy for a short period of time is all we can give and that's by following this kind of order/wish.

If anyone was in such a situation of inheriting multi-million dollars, they would have never gambled initially. Primarily, individuals who are gambling are the ones who are willing to make more money simply out of luck instead of working harder or going the traditional pathway of minting dollars. Gambling is a form of entertainment which can be risky enough where we can lose entirely and end up in the middle of nowhere but risking the money which has (possibly) been earned by your parent or inheriting and risking your great-grandparents money is entirely off the charts.

On a personal note, if I was in such a situation as mentioned in the topic I would never inherit the money wholly and risk them. Rather, I would donate them partially to the needy and leave my gambling addiction and build a casino startup to create a better gambling world with the remaining money. Through this, even if you are at the risk of losing the inheritance when your company fails you have tried to build something in your field rather than wasting your time in so called luck!

If I could have a comfortable with the inheritance that I would get from my father then I will quit gambling. I'm gambling to win and to make money but if I already have enough to live luxurious life without risking anything that I would choose to follow what my father wants. It might also be hard for him to believe me if ever I'll tell him that I will never fall into gambling addiction. We know dads always have an advanced thought of the possible things that might happen. If that's the case, then I will just obey him since I will still be the one who will benefit from it. It's better to be wise that to be a risk taker all the time. I could also do gambling in the future but it still needs enough self-control and self discipline.

I don't know but this is like only happening in movies or series in Netflix's or TV shows. If I'll be in that real situation for which I know that it won't happen.

I'll do everything to completely leave and quit gambling if the sum that's stake for my inheritance based on your explanation cannot be won in my life of gambling.

I'm not going to put pressure on myself and that's like the easiest job that I am about to do and effortlessly I'll receive money if I successful quit. So, it's a win-win to me.

Five years is such a long time and things will be way different by then you will missed a lot but you can start all over again and you have huge money for bankroll I think 5 years is worth it some people bet on lottery for a lifetime and they are not hitting it and you only have to wait for 5 years, but its always worth to try convince your father maybe invite him to watch a sports and show him how good you are in sports betting  just be sure that the sports you're betting is where you are good at predicting, you don't want to spoil your chances.


Those noisy kids lose my focus this time I have a notifier and got caught your post Thanks Yahoo.

I would try to explain to him that I was fine and I wasn't a compulsive gambler either. Besides that, I would tell him to learn to gamble less until finally I really stop gambling. My father will listen to my explanation because we are very close and can be open to any situation.

I will choose my father and slowly reduce my gambling activity. I don't want to lose my father, even if it's not due to inheritance and I would listen to his advice. After all, I've been gambling for quite a while and it seems like stopping for a while or even quitting forever would be okay for me because I'm not a compulsive gambler.

There was no point in secretly gambling because my father would find out later. It can make him disappointed and angry. And I know that gambling can give me a serious gambling addiction and even destroy me so I will try to reduce my gambling time.

There is something bad about gambling, which is your addiction to risks and incentives for quick profit in a short time. This addiction makes traditional methods of collecting money such as a job seem impossible to you, why wait until the end of the month to get money when you can earn it within a day or two? Why establish a company from scratch and wait five years and you can achieve millions from gambling? why plant the land and wait for the crop and you can earn in less than 24 hours.

If the gambling mentality becomes dominant in your thinking, it is better to stop gambling, no matter how profitable it is, because it will destroy your life, no matter how much you achieve profits.
Destroying your life is not only by losing your money, but by losing your sense of the value of patience and waiting to get incentives, whether those incentives are salary, financial incentives, or even in your personal life such as wife and children, family, sports and others.

My father is rich and want to hand over his business or huge amount of money for me, but on only one condition, that I should stop gambling for five years. I will stop to gamble for five years.

But in real life, the father would want the child to stop gambling forever.

Although gambling is fun for me and I can not become an addict anymore. I quit gambling myself for a year plus, so to quit gambling for 5 years is never going to be a problem for me.

My father even know that I have changed and gambling can not be a problem for me anymore. But I will still listen to his idea.

I doubt anyone is going to be "cutoff" from their father if they are gambling here and there. It's widely accepted all over the world as a form of entertainment. Now if you are selling the house, not feeding your family, or doing illegal shit to get money to gamble, then I could see a family stepping in and trying to intervene. Makes no sense any other way.

With that being said, there's a ton of money to be won or lost in gambling. I would definitely have to weigh the pros and cons and make a decision.

This probably needs moved to gambling discussion FYI. No reason it should be in service discussion.

There's really so much factors to take into account here that you can't really make a conclusion based on that information alone.

* How good is the "strategy" actually?
* How long will the said strategy be potentially viable?
* How much money is the inheritance specifically, and how long can you make that money with your "strategy"?

I could like 20+ more on the top of my head.

If it meant getting a multi million dollar inheritance I would quit cold turkey. Having financial security is more important than the enjoyment I get from gambling which can easily be replaced by other forms of entertainment. No matter how successful you have been in sports betting, the outcomes are still out of your control and it would be nearly impossible to consistently be on the winning side and still earn large sums of money. Winning big requires big risks. I would be more satisfied with guaranteed money from inheritance.

If you can explain well that you are not an addicted gambler and can overcome it, how will your father react, will he accept the explanation or still want you to stop playing gambling? If that's the case then you should stop for the sake of the million dollar inheritance.
I would not consider crazy against gambling let alone follow his desires, we know gambling is more losing than winning, so it's better to win the inheritance by any means because gambling in online casinos can be secretly without your father knowing, and that whenever you want you can play again as many people state.

The answer to this query is quite obvious because, even if you are a gambler then most of gamblers are addicted, and history has proven that, addicted ones make fake promises just to get more money in their hands so that they could waste it to in gambling. But in your case, you are not wasting it instead you have made a strategy that is to keep winning but AFAIK, there is no such one or two strategies that will keep you winning all the time.

This means to say, one time will come when your strategy will not work, even if you have so much experience. But if you are into gambling for so long and your father knew that, and he also knew that, once your strategy will be failed then you will lose money so that's why he (your father) hesitates to give away all the money in gambling.

Even he didn't want to inherit his money to a gambler's son. And he made a quite good condition for you, because he has earned the money with effort, not by just risking money and earning more money in gambling. So, this condition of 5 years will make him trust on you with multi-millions.

The amount is so big that, even a normal gambler will think how he will use that much money to make it double, triple and end up having nothing. So does his father. If I am in your place, I will quite gambling and turn to a good pathway which leads to a healthy and wealthy life full of happiness.

I think I'll just do the math here. If there's money that I will easily get if I stop gambling and the amount is big enough that I can't even win it through gambling even if I master a good betting strategy, then I will quit gambling and have that money.

If we are realistic, however, we know that there isn't this method that makes us easily win in gambling, even in sports betting. In reality, even if we only bet on heavy favorites, it still doesn't guarantee us that we will be profitable overall.

Also, in real life, anybody could easily pretend that he/she is not anymore gambling even if he/she is. So, in this case, one could still get his/her inheritance without really quitting gambling.

Hmmm. If the explanation first doesn't work then do it secretly if you still want to gamble. But i don't think someone who has to be inherited to their children have the mindset of not giving it to their children for something like that, but maybe who knows. Now if you can be patient following your father is a good decision, once you get your inheritance then do the gambling again lmao.

You are doing great in sports betting you Are wining a good sum and you are on the way mastering a good method in sports betting finally you have come to a point that all the years of perseverance is paying off then you're rich father  decides that he will disinherit you if you do not stop gambling because he thinks that money that you are going to inherit will just vanish because of your addiction to gamble you will have to stop gambling for a minimum of five years.
You are going to inherit amount that you cannot win in sports betting possibly multi million

Will you explain to him that you are doing great and you are not a compulsive gambler
Will just stop gambling  and be practical and get that multi million inheritance
You'll just go on with your passion and just forget the money that your father will give to you as inheritance.

Let's discuss this scenario is possible
