Topic: your perception about gambling - page 2. (Read 926 times)

I believe people who can't afford it shouldn't gamble in the first place. The rich gamble because they can afford to do that as you said, they wouldn't be bothered even if they lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in a month because they know they earn way more than that and their net worth is extremely high that they wouldn't be bothered by the small losses they may have to face.

However, the poor can't think that way because they can't afford to lose anything. Even if one says that they can afford to lose a certain amount being poor, they can't because they don't have any backup, if they lose that money, they will have nothing left which means they can't afford to lose it even if they say so. So, if one can't afford to gamble, they should stay away from it.

the fact is that many people tell of their success in gambling. even in the environment around us. In fact, they don't dare to openly say how many losses they have lost compared to their wins.
all they say is when they win. that's what I often encounter and when I try to find out the truth by asking questions about how much they lost, they don't dare answer.

I prefer to believe that most people use gambling as a place to earn or as a place to change their fortunes and finances for the better, I can confirm that this is the purpose of most of them coming to gambling because we can see that the population of gamblers who experience financial problems as a result of gambling is greater than those who gamble moderately or moderately, and especially those who are already in the addiction phase where obviously a lot of problems will arise there.

So the adverse effects experienced by people who treat gambling in the wrong and unadvisable way is ultimately what makes the viewpoint of a large part of society on this activity very negative, society claims that people who are involved in gambling are those who have bad behavior and personality although in fact there are always some gamblers who are able to treat gambling with the recommended approach, or in the sense of gambling with all the restrictions that can keep them safe like the understanding that responsible gamblers have, but yes it is quite difficult to make some people believe that there are some responsible gamblers because basically people will definitely focus more on the negative impact.

Even though it might be foolish to think that gambling is a way to earn money, it has become so commonplace in many people's minds that they still try it today. Gambling brings many people into the circle so that many people cannot get out of gambling easily.
Religion and the government prohibit its citizens from gambling but that doesn't stop its citizens from completely stopping their gambling activities because they still want to try it. And gambling is a personal matter and even though there are prohibitions from religion and the government, people still gamble.
And what you say is true, the house always wins and those of us who gamble will experience more losses if we don't realize it.

If there are people who can see that gambling will not give them a lot of money, they don't need to gamble and leave gambling. But what happens is that many people are attracted to gambling and they continue to gamble and don't even stop at all.
We can only gamble for fun and not to make money. Those who continue to try will only experience even greater loss.
Religion prohibits gambling because it involves losing a lot of money and makes people unable to realize that what they are doing is wrong. Religion has done what it has to do, and what follows is each person's choice.

People’s perception on gambling may be shaped by their environment. In Hollywood movies and TV shows, gambling is often portrayed as glamourous and an activity which attracts wealthy high rollers.

Some people may have grown up around gamblers who were greedy and always looking to make a quick buck. This might have influenced how they view gambling.

Examples of people being financially ruined by gambling are easy to find and sometimes people fixate more on the negative stories than positive ones.

Definitely gambling is not made for any particular community or people. In one word we can say that it is universal. Everyone can join here. Anyone can indulge in gambling as per the individual's desire. If we don't think about it differently, such questions will not arise. Generally we consider gambling as recreation or fun where some people plan it as a means of earning money which is their mistake. But gambling is not like that. Gambling may be restricted in some cases such as in countries where it is illegal but restricted to all rather than to any specific class. And where there is permission, there is no restriction for people to join in gambling and can refrain any time. It totally depends on a gambler.

We all have points and views about gambling, but to be certain, for those who are prohibiting theirselves from gambling, its not that they don’t want to gamble their money, but because they are not broad enough to understand the design of gambling. They often see gambling to lose money and eventually make someone addicted and mess his life. But in reality, it’s not gambling that make us addicted, but it’s on how we handle and perceive gambling urge. We can gamble for fun, and to make us relieved from stress or anxiety, but for those who are losing too much, I should say that they don’t understand the essence of gambling from the start.

Now, religion is also another reason, but if you are really a gambler, no religion can ever control you, because if you really want to stop gambling, it’s already deep within you that will motivate yourself not to gamble anymore.

Gambling has never been restricted to any race of class of people, as all people often gamble from all walks of life. Any human being is certainly prone to pass judgement on even the thought of gambling depending on several factors, and to your point often times that person comes from some type of religious background where they were raised to believe that gambling is wrong maybe or whatever it may be. As long as its not a problem or an addiction as far as i'm concerned people can mind their own damn business. lol

This is somehow embarrassing for the pastor since he is a person who teaches the word of God and most religious people often understand that gambling is one of the activity triggered by one of the seven mortal sin called greed.  And since it has something to do with greed, religious people often think that people who gamble are greedy and they stop on that idea without even thinking about the possibility of the person just enjoying his free time playing, just like any other entertainment where a person has to spend some cash to attain it.



Obviously, for a religious figure, they are restricted not to getting involved in gambling activity because it is against what they teach.  At least they should have some self-awareness and respect and must walk their talk.  But to think about it in a neutral way, everyone has no restriction to gamble except if one is under 18 years old. 

I do not think that there is a stratification in engaging in gambling.  Everyone can freely take part in any gambling activities.  It is that people who does not know much about gambling only see the negative part of it.  People stereotype, they often believe and agree on what the majority is thinking.  Worst many are fanatics, especially in religious groups.  They always think that their religious leader is always right without even thinking about the depth of the issue like in gambling engagement these fanatics don't even do their research on the reason why people gamble.

When it comes to perception and own views then each person would really be having their different approach but actually its really just that the same. Basing up on the example been shown or given out
on which a pastor did make some gambling activity despite on having that kind of warning about those preaches or something which it do gives out that kind of negativity specially if you are really that
strictly following about those words but since the leader of your church is really that doing the opposite of things then it would really be bring out that kind of anger of course.
It would really be just that not shocking that people would really be commiting out mistakes but it would be that just right that you do need to have that adjustment.
Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible because people do mess up on the time that they would really be that irresponsible with their actions.

The fact is spending is not about the rich or poor, when someone knows how to spend money such as none profiting spending is about individual choice because both the rich and poor spend money alike all that matters is where and how that money is spent., gambling as one of those way that people spend money should be categorized as high-risk activities and no one should gamble with the mindset of winning or making profits, since winning in gambling is not certain and totally dependant on lucks for that to happen.
We have those who can easily slide in a chuck amount of money in gambling aiming that when they win, they become better but since gambling winning mostly favours the house, the gamblers are at higher risk of losing such an amount and such spending is class as reckless spending which is not economically wise.

Well that's the main point, if basically you are able to drive a car well along with knowing how to brake in certain situations then I think there is little chance for you to experience things that are not wanted, just like in gambling which depends on the person who treats and responds to this gambling activity itself, if basically they have the right and proper understanding of gambling then I think there is little chance for you to end up with addiction and experience many problems as a result of the wrong approach to gambling.

But the problem is that most of the gamblers always drive over the speed limit, they always want to be at the forefront without knowing and thinking about the risk of possible accidents, and these are the gamblers who always overdo it because they have the wrong understanding of what gambling really is, they drive on the wrong road and also in the wrong way so that in the end it creates a lot of problems.

That's right, gambling is not a problem, it all depends on people, how they perceive it and use it for themselves. With the same success we can say that driving a car is also very dangerous, but at the same time everyone understands that if you do not break the rules, if you do not exceed the speed, then most likely the this will not pose any danger to you, and If a driver exceeds the speed limit several times, he will greatly increase his chances of getting into an accident.

Theres no specific class in playing gambling as long as they have money, capable of managing their risk to play, of course still there's a restrictions like the Age to make sure to prevent those under 18 gets addicted to playing gambling, and there are still laws that they should compromise so they can operate. People tend to play just to get entertained and earn extra money through playing casinos so they can try their luck if they hit a good amount of money. In my country, they didnt restrict playing gambling but of course, they make sure they have the complete documentation to operate or else they will be immediately terminated by the government.

Why not promote responsible gaming instead of demonizing it? Gambling can bring fun, delight, and financial discipline, but it can also bring misery and loss. All gamblers are doomed is a harmful myth. It disregards personal responsibility and educated decision-making. Nigeria, like every country, faces societal attitudes and support systems that make gambling difficult

Healthy gambling requires transparency, limitations, and support. Change the blame discussion to one of understanding and support. Gambling itself isn't the problem; it's how people view it

There’s fact on his statement because gambling is truly a “quick cash grab” if you win. Not all people lose in gambling so don’t assume that you will automatically lose or guaranteed lose in gambling or else it’s already not gambling but rigged casino. The chance of winning in the casino overall is really low but at least we have a chance and not a complete zero.


I’m really surprised how negative your PoV against gambling while you are promoting one on your signature space. Maybe you should re-evaluate your view on gambling and determine what’s really the purpose of gambling.

Not always in our favor. I chuckle at the notion that its a quick cash grab; its more like a quick cash giveaway - to the house, usually. Gambling doesnt care if you're a man, woman, or anything in-between. Its an equal opportunity heartbreaker.

Religions and governments toss in their two cents, mostly because they've seen the fallout - a parade of empty wallets and the not-so-occasional existential crisis. "Ban it!" they say, as if prohibition ever stopped anyone dead in their tracks. Spoiler: it doesnt. But gambling's a personal gig. Its your call, your money, your potential spiral into the abyss of "What was I thinking?" territory. So, if you're gonna roll the dice, maybe, just maybe, remember: the house always wins. Unless, of course, you dont play. Then, congrats! You've outsmarted the system

Talking about stratification and gambling, of course these two things have various understandings, these two factors do not apply in all areas, they apply to certain areas, power, privileges, certain classes in gambling shops, this definitely exists, but not all, maybe it happens in Las Vegas, hotels, cruise ships or places where casinos are provided.

Talking about words, many people who gamble are seen as bad and many give various negative and positive understandings and meanings, but you don't need to worry about that, What's more, nowadays there are many online casinos that are easy to play, the problem of words or understanding is not a bad thing for you to think about, you can gamble without having to think about the negative words of other people.

It would really be that situational if we do speak about having that kind of perception which we know that rich people would really be looking for entertainment and this is something that would
really differ into those people who are poor or really looking up for money in day to day living. There's so much gap and there's so much in differences on which we do know that this is something
that in real life conditions or situations and this is why we do really have that kind of different approach. Gambling is for entertainment and this is something that free for everyone to get involved with or engage with it is really just that depending according into your mood and the money that you could afford to spend. Wrong things turns out to happen on the time that you would really be having that kind of different approach.

This is why it would really be just that depending on you on how you would really be able to percept about gambling whether you do have those kind of approach or the other way around.
Results and outcomes would really be that.This is why it would really be that best that you should really be doing on what should be done. Whether you are rich or poor
then dealing up with gambling is something that should really be done in moderation if you dont like to mess up yourself with it.

Risk management, especially self-control along with several other limitations, will never look at your background or about how rich you are in life, in gambling everyone has opportunities and risks, which means no matter how rich you are, it is clear that in the end you can lose everything if you make a mistake. in treating gambling activities, especially for poor people who basically have weaker financial strength than rich people. But honestly, if I look at it from a rational point of view about rich people, I think their group is less likely to end up addicted, logically they are already in a good financial situation and successful, or simply they already know how to get money so that idea could be a reason that it is small for rich people to make gambling a place to earn money.

And also on the other hand, rich people usually have a good perspective on the value of money, they prefer to put money in something that has certainty in terms of its potential and development, such as business, but yes, on the other hand, there may always be some of them who are less fortunate. in the sense of being trapped in the wrong gambling approach and ending up losing everything. So the point is, no matter whether you are rich or poor, this is a gambling activity where there is a high risk and the clear answer is that management, limits and control must not be ignored.
