Topic: your perception about gambling - page 3. (Read 936 times)

Depending on the country you are from, in Nigeria you will be criticise if you are found going to a local betting location, we all have this mentality that gamblers are lazy people who want to get rich quick, and who am I to say they are wrong?

Because in this country many have taken their lives because of gambling and debts, the problem isn't gambling but the people who are gambling, they believe in this gambling too much, even before the economy was in so much mess, many people have turned into addict gamblers.

So I won't blame this all on the country's situation, it's the gamblers that are at fault, people who sees gamblers as something different can't be blame as well, it's this very easy for gamblers to lose their heads and end up in a very bad situation, it's been proven so many times that's why people don't take good about gamblers.

Not all rich people can be said to have an addiction to gambling; there are others who are just looking for entertainment. That's why the only scary thing is that when a rich person experiences a big win playing gambling, they become addicted little by little without realizing it. That's where those who experience a big loss come in.

And this is the worrying thing, as if they feel like they will never run out of money, which is not the case. That's why it is still important for us to have control over ourselves as gamblers in reality.

Gambling is for everyone, not just men or women. But because there are prohibitions from many religions, some people think about staying away from gambling.
Even though they stay away from gambling, there are still many people who continue to gamble because they think that gambling is a place that can give them a lot of money in a short time. But actually, this is not the case because by thinking like that, many of them lose and lose their money in gambling.
This ban on gambling came from each country agreeing to prohibit its citizens from gambling because the government saw that many of its citizens were addicted to gambling because their citizens often gambled without self-control.
But this gambling problem is a problem for each person, and they are the ones who decide whether to gamble or not. Even though the state prohibits it, they will still gamble.

The rich will go on vacations and spend huge amounts because they're in possession of the require assets while the poor will always finds struggles to win. We spend money for fun and also straight out the desirable means of bringing to the table, money to sustain us. The rich have nothing to lose because the huge amounts we all thinking that's significant amount is mere change to them, it doesn't shake them in any way. While the middle class takes their time to gamble because they know if they lose money, it's weigh out of line and I don't we'll be able to grab hold of our stands in the system.

It's also true as you said, rich people still have many ways to spend their money for fun. you can go on holiday, party and so on, you don't always gamble.
but what I said above is just an example. and only a small number of rich people and those who enjoy gambling can spend time having fun gambling without thinking about winning. Winning is luck, losing is no problem because you are satisfied with the game itself. That's what I mean from the example above.

Makes sense. Instead of just griping about how people see gambling, better to do a hands-on approach. It's about encouraging folks to be smart like set limits, avoid chasing losses and look out for themselves. Try to take personal responsibility and creating a chill environment because youre right that gambling doesn't have to be seen as this dark, risky thing. It can be more like a fun pastime as long as it's done responsibly

Yes it is true that each person or individual has their own perception and maybe most of them are different from the perspectives of other people or other gamblers, but mostly and overall I think the point of view of gambling is negative in the eyes of society, especially in the eyes of those who never gamble and always avoid gambling activities, And none other than the slogan about the badness of gambling was born from most irresponsible gamblers, in the sense that they always experience a lot of problems as a result of gambling itself, even though the problem is that they are wrong in treating gambling and instead put excessive expectations on a place that actually provides nothing more than "possibilities".

Gambling is nothing more than a game of probability which means that there is absolutely no certainty in terms of the results at the end of the session, and of course as you said above that we really have to support the idea of "gambling for entertainment", because only this perspective can make us in a safe situation and avoid bad possibilities such as addiction, sharing ideas or suggestions is a good thing and is allowed as long as it is based on a basic understanding of the actual facts that exist in gambling, such as sharing ideas for safety.

We all know the image: the "good-for-nothing shut-in" stereotype. But here's the thing, painting everyone who gambles with that same brush is unfair and unhelpful. Sure, gambling can be risky, and addiction is a real concern. But it's not always a one-way street to rock bottom. Just like anything in life, it's about doing it responsibly. Instead of whining about how people perceive gamblers, what if we focused on actually changing the way we gamble? Be smart, not stupid, Set limits, don't chase losses, and prioritize your well-being.

Remember, changing a perception takes more than just complaining. It's about individuals taking responsibility and building a supportive environment. By doing that, we can create a space where gambling doesn't have to be a dark alley, but rather a leisure activity enjoyed responsibly.

When it comes to hearing the general or public opinions about gambling, people can come up with diverse interpretation for that because they think its all about the way they only feels about it while some other people as well will do same in letting others know that gambling is all about the way they feels as well, but we should be mindful that anything that involves gambling should buttress the fact that comes with having fun along in it, the friendliness and sharing of common ideas while playing is what birth to gambling that people will have to stake their money for this same purpose of betting.

And if you do not have a job and  you are putting your mind into gambling then you will not make anything tangible in life, because the small one that you have will end up the little you have you will spend it on gambling which is the problem you see a lot of people gambling without jobs, but if you have a job you will have something to be able to sustain your self and am very sure you won't gamble with all the money you have, and if the person even has a job am very sure that the time to even gamble will be limited because you will have lesser time to gamble and that is another solution to get someone out of gambling addiction, and if you take gambling to be fun then you are one step out of addiction, if you see somebody that gambles a lot they don't listen any kind of advice you want to give them they won't listen to you , so its now there plait there spoon it depends on how they serve there food and how it is eaten, and that is how it suppose to be, since they don't listen i don't see the reason why i should keep talking.

Gambling is for everyone that has extra money. It doesn’t need to be a lot of extra money to gamble since you can set your bet to minimum while you can still play the same game which high roller play too. The only difference is that the amount of profit you can get is lower than them but the experience is the same for playing games.


It’s not always true that rich people only interested on gambling and not money since they will not gamble if they didn’t want to earn since there’s a lot of thins they can do to enjoy without spending their money on gambling. It’s always both money and fun.

Gambling is an activity that individuals engage in for the purpose of profit or entertainment by betting on a specific outcome, such as playing poker or betting on sportsbetting. As a direct response to your question, i can say that gambling is not limited to a specific group of individuals or social class, as anyone can gamble regardless of his social status or cultural background. There are almost people who enjoy gambling from different social classes and in all age groups. While maintaining the famous exception that the numbers of women are much lower than men in this field.

However, there is variation in the way gambling is practiced between individuals, as for some it may be an easily tolerated hobby activity, while for others it can be an addiction that can lead to serious financial and social problems. Therefore, individuals must be careful and responsible when gambling, know their limits and check that they are gambling correctly and safely. Social status may contribute to these results to a greater extent, because the poor person will not risk certain amounts of gambling as the rich person might do.

People will always talk, be it good or bad someone will always find something bad to point at, it's human nature... besides you don't need to play to the gallery just because you want to fit in!! Btw, when we talk of some of the wealthy people of the world, you discover that all these guys did extraordinary things and this means don't let society dedicate your life unless it's something illegal don't do it, anything else go for it!!

I think it's fair to just say phrase this correctly, why are you gambling..? Is it for the money, are you trying to fit in with a certain group of people, do you have the sporting knowledge or Casino skill and you paying yourself for it... honestly for those that gamble,everyone has their reasons why they do gamble and has nothing to do with class etc.

Yep right, you're with me in that gambling is for everyone but maybe this activity is not really recommended for a child who is really underage with a high level of instability, but yes basically and for people who are adults you can simply gamble or be allowed to engage in this activity if you have money as a condition for betting in several sessions. But on the other hand the hindrance may be in terms of regulations and policies of a country or religion, which there are certainly some countries or religions that really prohibit this gambling activity, and obviously if you are one of the individuals who obey the rules then you will prefer not to engage in betting even if you have money to bet.

But on the other hand as a whole I am sure that most people do not like rules and the majority of them always choose to break them for their own desires or needs, as in the case of gambling, even if it is prohibited but they will always try various ways to do it anyway and you have already mentioned one of the alternatives that can access online casinos if in a country it is prohibited by using a VPN or the like. Yes that's right, stratification is another thing and has nothing to do with gambling, it's very simple and the point is if you have money then you can get involved and bet.

In my perception, gambling games are only for people who have a lot of extra money. Maybe everyone who is old enough can play gambling, but not everyone can enjoy gambling itself.

for example, people who have little money can gamble in the hope of making more money. more of a profit orientation.

Meanwhile, people who are rich and have excess money are more interested in gambling. Winning or losing is just down to luck and not really pursuing gambling results.

Gambling is for everyone; it doesn't restrict anyone. Of course, casinos and gambling apps want that because they are getting money from the users; the more users they have, the more money they will have. But still, you need to be age-appropriate to gamble; that is the only thing casinos and gambling apps restrict. Depending on the age restriction, you should comply with that. It doesn't matter if you are unemployed, homeless, or in debt; as long as you are age-appropriate, you can gamble.

On the religion part, I think some of the religions considered gambling bad. The Bible didn't exactly say that "gambling" is forbidden, but gambling is connected to greed, which is one of the seven deadly sins. And when you gamble, greed can take over, which could lead to losing money and getting addicted.

As long as you are controlling yourself and gambling responsibly, I think it is fine. Just don't be addicted and don't ruin your life.

Gambling problems can be reduced if you control yourself. Gambling is not compulsory for anyone but the person plays of his own free will. Those who follow religious rules are far from gambling but when it becomes an addiction, they forget everything. There are many religions where everything derived from gambling is forbidden. It is necessary to stay away from all kinds of gambling. It is a matter of regret that even in remote villages there are gambling parties. Farmers youth workers businessmen students are getting involved in death addiction gambling. Millions of rupees are flying in these events gambling is like a drug now seen by everyone enjoying it.

Religious bodies can only give strong warning or sanction to members but it's hard to watches all the pilgrims because many people can still playing gambling easily without anyone knows. Prohibition of gambling can only succeeds if there are sanction for anyone who breaks it, no matter if they are government members or people. If the prohibition can apply to all people, the number of people who playing gambling should be reduce because they know how risky playing gambling without control and will not try to playing gambling excessively. The citizens will know that gambling can ruin their lives if they used it for making money as gambling is just for fun. The citizens will think that it's better for them to search for the other ways to make money and will not uses gambling for making money.

There are people who are really that too sensitive on things specially into their reputation and their view into other people, this is why as much as possible which they would really be that hiding that kind of activity which we do know that there would really be tons of judgmental person who would really be having those kind of insights towards you specially that you are dealing with gambling which this had been known
to be a bad thing but its actually not something on this way. It is really just that people are way too judgmental on things.

You really can't change how people think about you, that's one thing. So instead of going out there telling everyone that I'm a gambling man and risk making them think that I'm the dirtiest, nastiest, mustiest clown in the Barangay I just go for the more lowkey side of things and let people I dearly care about instead. Worked so well for me so far and I think that's what you should really go for, instead of crying about the people seeing you as an irresponsible maggot of the society when you tell them that you're gambling.

So yeah, since you can't change people's minds anyway, just do your own thing and be very responsible with your own gambling shenanigans, you can't change how other people think about you but you can definitely reinforce good habits and make it so that you're a better gambler than what you might think you are, and I think that's more important than seeking approval or gratification from other people.
