I don't know if you've encountered this joke before, I often see it in my feeds coming from Gambling groups where I am a member

Guy 1: Hey, I have a friend who gambles a lot, and he just bought a new bike.

Guy 2: Wow! Your friend must have been lucky in gambling.

Guy 1: No! He used to drive a car but because of gambling, he sold it, and now he just bought a new bike to get to work.

Guy 2:  :D :D :D

The first time I read it I laughed a lot but if you dig deep or think about it you will realize that it reflects many gamblers who are losing a lot and they have to sell things that are important to them and find an alternative.

How about you do you have a gambling joke of your own or you've encountered that reflects the gambling experience of many, come share it here

The sarcasm in this defines, portrays and mocks those gamblers that are compulsive and going by their uncontrollable gambling life they move from a financial state of 100-0.

Gambling is what we make of it. You will enjoy being a gambler if you have that self-control with your wagering amount, bankroll, time spent to gamble, and accepting your losses as it comes not to chase after the loss the propensity of loss chase leads to more losses.

The loss recovery syndrome is what makes gamblers sale off their properties thinking that they can use the money gotten from the sale of their property to recover their previous losses. That's why we're admonished to use amount we can easily let go when we lose it to gamble. At the end of the day this sarcasm will always meet the victims with a cold feet.

I guess this kind of joke could really sink to the hearts of the gamblers compared to the serious advice they'll heard and read. I also read the same joke but the one is different...

Gambler says... he can now afford to rent an apartment because of gambling, says from a gambler who use to have his own house. LOL... So it was just a joke, but if we reflect hard, we would understand that if we won't be careful with gambling, time will come this would happen to us. Bringing this is helpful @OP... this is for the gamblers who arent' still seeing the risk of what they are doing, so hopefully they'll see this joke and reflect seriously.

This isnt only talking on gambling but also on trading specially into those people who do love futures trading on which losing up money would really be that easy.Yes, i have read up this joke
too and it is really funny considering that someone has been used to have a car and ending up on having bicycle or simply talking about downgrading just because they have sold theirs.
This is where gamblers do usually end up if they wont really be that careful in towards dealing with gambling. If they wont really be that sensible and mindful about spending
then they would really be ending up on this way.This is why we should really be that responsible with our gambling because if we dont then we really ends up the same situation
on which it is something that we dont really like to happen.

No gambling jokes from me but I have seen this many years ago, or at least when we are in the pandemic as everyone is playing online and so they've lost so much money back then. Nevertheless it's true though, I mean everyone could end that way if they are not careful about their gambling.

Or even worst comes to worst, maybe he will sell his bike and then just the walk of shame every time he goes to the office. That will be really terrible, although I haven't experience the walk of shame when I gamble in land based before I don't have a car. I always put side money on my back pocket just to make sure.

How about this joke? I don't find if funny at all, but that's just me. ;D


I think that this joke doesn't apply to poker only, but to all gambling games in general(and maybe even to sports betting as well).
If you are a compulsive gambler(or a gambling addict), you are thinking that you are good at gambling, while constantly losing money.
This is delusion beyond stupidity. It's like being rich, having a hot "gold digger" girlfriend and thinking that she is with you because she loves you and not because of the money.
There aren't good or bad gamblers. There are gamblers, who can control their spending and behavior and there are gamblers, who can't...  

I've never come across a joke like that but it was really funny to see it because that person should have become richer from his job but because of gambling, he ended up bankrupt and lost his car. But we don't know whether he sold his car to continue gambling or if there was something else that meant he had to sell his car. But if he sells his car just because he wants to continue gambling, that has gone too far and it seems like he is addicted to gambling so he must be cured and not gamble anymore. He has seen what happened to his life so he should realize it and not gamble anymore or his life will become even more chaotic. Yes, that is a valuable lesson for us because gambling can make us lose everything we have, even our family.

Haha you got me OP. This one is really funny, and it's not just actually a joke but a real life realization for all gamblers. That is, if you gamble without caution, without knowing your limits in gambling, you will certainly end up with a huge loss and just settle to what you can only afford. This serves as an eye opener that in gambling, its more of a loss than win, especially if you keep chasing for some profits in gambling.

However, some gamblers are just extra lucky that when they start gambling, all they own is a bike, but when they hit the jackpot prize, they purchase their brand new car. Well, this is the irony but still possible with gambling.

That downgrade joke isn't a reflection of the person, it's more of reflection on the effects of gambling and that whatever opulence that gambling offers and the glamors that are shown in gambling, it's all just a facade, it's a funny joke but when I look at it in serious perspective, what I've said earlier is what I understand about that joke. I don't have any jokes I can think of about gambling that are worth discussing but I can recall one that I've seen somewhere.

Why casinos ban leopards?
Because they're cheetahs, get it? I'll see myself out.

I guess this would have allayed the nostalgia in the sentiment in Guy 2. He (Guy 2) might have been feeling why is his own gambling situation and luck unfavorable to him.

Well the story got me laughing too. It just the reality of gambling. Many gamblers are also having this losses and gradually they are going down but obstinately don't want to quit. Gambling is not what you will do all the time, you can gamble if you see the probability to win especially in soccer but if you don't win then you wait for another time. Going from car to bike because of gambling losses shows the gambler is not making profit.

Never heard of this joke or any related to it but I must say I laughed my ass out after reading it. But even it's a joke it still hides the truth that is behind this particular joke because what is been portrayed there is actually the simple truth, many gamblers are actually losing and it's affecting their financial life and that's why it advice not to ever go beyond your comfort zone when gambling and many are ignorant of this and tend to do worse which makes thing get out of hand for these gamblers.

I've heard this too somewhere in social media and most of the memes are because of a gambler who used to have a good car and now just riding a brand-new motorcycle or a bike. Online "sabong" because of that gambling method is where they lose a lot of money.
It was truly hilarious when I first heard about that joke but that only works once and the next you see it or hear it, you won't be laughing anymore especially if you are also a gambler who experienced the same thing as those people.
Anyway, I don't much joke when it comes to gambling because we all know many of us are losers here, and joking about it might become the cause of a fight or saying cursed words against each other. It could spark a brawl which is why I try to avoid it.

This was a very popular joke when e-sabong was very popular so many gamblers lost their properties and important things and were replaced by smaller things I don't know who created this joke but it summarizes what will happen to you if you indulge yourself in gambling so from having a car you will end with a bike so from owning a house to renting an apartment, there are so many topics about that could emanate from that joke.

Just present this joke to aspiring gamblers and this will give them a brief summary of what will happen if they gamble too much in a funny way without explaining in many words about the harmful effects of gambling.

I haven't heard this one, but let's look at the bright side: it's a much more environmentally friendly lifestyle, and healthier too :D
Gambling losses are a common thing, but there are different ways of looking at them. If a person just keeps losing and getting frustrated, it means that it's problem gambling, perhaps an addiction. If a person only gambles recreationally, spending only what one can afford to lose, gambling is a way of having fun and would not lead to issues like losing a car or a house. So it's simply important to keep things under control and seek professional help if necessary.

That's a good joke but have a lesson need to take seriously since imagine the friend mentioned is supposed to be a rich guy and have car to drive but it end up in bad faith since as of now base on joke he's only riding a bike.

This happenings could possibly happen to anyone if they are not careful with their gambling habits since if they get addicted with this for sure they can sell all their stuff just to have money to use for gambling.

That's why to avoid such unfortunate scenario its really better for us to control our emotion and don't ever chase anything on gambling. We should be more responsible enough to know what exceed to us and what is not since if we know how to control any activity that can give us a big problem for sure we can possibly eliminate anything that can possibly give us a problem.

I remember there was someone who shared a story here about a joke like that and he also gave a video about a parade held in his country about slot gambling. at the beginning of the month he was able to buy better motorbike and after a few months he finally lost everything but I really forgot the name of the thread but I can find the video on social media.

jokes like this are often made by some gamblers and strangely those who say things like that are also doing the same thing as if they are telling themselves because they have lost a lot of money from gambling.
jokes like this can actually be words of wisdom to educate bad gamblers about gambling irresponsibly which ends up losing all their valuables.

Same here haha but only because I was expecting the end of the joke. I also think that the kind of joke that no gambler would want to hear because its true
I find your joke funnier. It's a playful way of poking fun at people's confidence in their skills, whether it's in the card game or in the bedroom. No one's a pro haha

I actually used this joke in my native language to my friends who are into gambling and this made them laugh, It is actually a good reminder to gamblers to gamble responsibly or else they will end like this joke, it is funny, short and you get the message right away, there may be other jokes about gambling but this one has it all
I first discovered it from one gambler who lost a lot but since he has a good sense of humor he created his own in his case the examples are cell phones an Apple phone and a China phone.
We can have a lot of substitutions on the subjects but it will still end up very funny, I think this joke will become a classic joke and you can still tell this joke a year from now and it will still be a new joke to those who haven't heard it.

Yes, that's a joke, part of what some gamblers feel and experience, indeed we often see strange things that many people feel.
Start:
* From them being there to not being there.
* From nothing it has become something, before he didn't have anything, but now he has a car and a house.
* There are also those who are stressed.

For this reason, maybe we often see joking things that gamblers feel, without even realizing it in everyday life. Therefore, whatever a gambler feels, the point is that we all have to be able to control ourselves from all gambling activities.

I often see that joke on social media, shared by some of my friends. Some have even turned it into memes.

Here's the one I came across:

A man rushes into his house and yells to his wife, “Cathy, pack up your things! I just won the lottery!”

Cathy replies excitedly, “Oh, that’s great! Should I pack for the beach or the mountains?”

The man responds, “I don’t care, just get out!”

This joke, amusing as it is, also highlights the truth that gambling can sometimes result in unexpected consequences and impact relationships.

There are many jokes about gambling and gamblers, particularly focusing on addicts and players that are losing substantial amounts while chasing jackpots or significant winnings. While these jokes may provide amusement between friends or those who read them, they could potentially effect addicted players without noticing the change in their mentality, leading them to perceive such behavior as normal. If someone becomes deeply addicted they might get the idea of selling their valubale assets like their car, house, or savings. Considering the important consequences, it's worth questioning the effect and bad things inside these jokes.
In a very short explanation, these jokes may push players to gamble harder.

Here is one joke that I have edited myself;

Guy1: My friend is consistently playing in online casinos.

Guy2: Is he experiencing any good wins?

Guy1: No, he's mainly hoping that he hits the jackpot so he can finally afford a better internet connection!

That kind of joke is not exclusive to gambling. It's also applicable to bad investment since that was also popular during the market crash. I've seen a lot of meme about buying a new motorcycle after losing their car because they bought at the top. Well some people would say buying crypto is also like gambling so I guess it's connected.

Ive seen common jokes not only in gambling but also in investment one of the trends before an NFT game is that people who make an entry on Axie game before they are saying "Good day manager" after playing of axie and buying at the top and drop the price of the SLP "Goodbye manager" they are now zero savings and this could be a charge to experience, not all player in gambling wins a good game most of the time they lose so expect they are wanting to have the urge to get back their losses so one of the best ways to spend more and hoping they can come back or lose again.

Not technically connected but rather associated through the word "risk". Crypto investment has its risk with market price volatility while with gambling, it is in one's fate and luck.

As we observed, sarcasm was displayed in this joke but if we would dig down, such thing is really occuring in gambling industry especially for gamblers who does not know how to manage the risk well. Familiar with stories wherein gamblers are selling their houses just to pay their debt from losing that much in a casino? I personally know someone who unfortunately lost almost everything due to his gambling addiction. Not to break the fun but this joke should also be a reminder for us to be responsible as well with our funds.

If you are a risk taker then you know this joke better. This joke can be applied to almost anything wherein you invest on something that is risky and has no guarantee of winning. Some story of poor people gambling that made them rich and might be the opposite will happen to other people as well.

It’s good that the hero of this joke managed to buy a bicycle and didn’t have to walk or take public transport to work. :) This gambler will commute to work to pay off his casino debts. This is their lot until they realize the futility of their efforts to win back, to get back their lost money, as well as the illusion of winning after visiting the casino.

This is the true and real face of the most ordinary gamblers, but advertising sponsored by casinos will never portray gamblers as such (the false image of millionaires and rich people prevails).

As long as they don’t sell things that are dear to others (close people or not so close ones).

I came across this joke: "What's the difference between a poker player and a dog?" In ten years, the dog wont whine. The joke is about gamblers' perseverance despite losing and being frustrated. As with your joke, gambling may be a never-ending chase where victories are praised and losses, which are more frequent and usually bigger, are overlooked. Though we laugh, its a heartbreaking reminder of what many gamblers endure: always thinking things would improve. The point of gaming is to have fun, not to get something. Therefore, its vital to be careful and moderate about it, recognizing the thin line between a safe activity and a terrible habit.

From the OP, it is obvious that the friend of his was an ardent gambler, possibly with no gambling precussionary rules like; ensure you gamble on a budget.

I know of people who gamble responsibly, they commit just a fraction of their earning to it and gamble responsibly, they also don't see it as a source of livelihood, hence, they maintain the rules they've set as pertaining to their budget towards gambling.

If you are not conscious of all these gambling rules for safety then you might get ruined by gambling.

when you realized the real meaning of this sarcasm, it shows about what is the possible effect of being a gambler, It may cause you a positive effect like winning for the first time huge prizes but the majority is all about negafive effect of it just like the sarcasm stated above. Meaning, that's the possible thing that will happen if you are a irresponsible and compulsive gambler. Luck is in there but you need to be more careful when it comes to budgeting your gambling money, as well as your effective decision making so that you'll not ended up being broke.

As soon as I started to read the joke and I knew it was about gambling I could sense there was going to be some tongue-in-cheek scenario.
I personally do not have any joke to share related to gambling and even though we all can agree some joke about gambling is innocent enough; keeping in mind there must be addicted person in this section of the forum who may actually sold part of their possesions to pay for their gambling debts, then joking about something as harsh someone could relate to may trigger them to feel bad or depressed about their situation.
It continues to remind me the guy who recently got over 2k$ in debt to play blackjack and end up losing it all and owing money to the bank. It is the kind of stuff one should not slightly joke about, imho.

This kind of double meaning joke will sink deeper into the people's minds because if you are giving advice to them and are very serious about it they tend to not clearly understand it and they will forget it, unlike this kind of sarcasm which they tends to dig deeper meaning out of it. It is a joke but this is the darkest truth of gambling others may win, but mostly you lose. Gambling is a business and it is very rare to make a living from it.

Well, I don't know what people from my country were saying to a guy from my country who won the lottery jackpot. but I remember the whole story, it was like this: in my country a few years ago there was a guy who was poor, that same guy was lucky enough to win the lottery, the guy when he was poor lived at his parents' house, but when he won the lottery, the guy left his parents' house and went to live in a luxury hotel and a certain famous woman went to live with the guy who won the lottery, it turns out that this woman was from another country close to my country and with that the guy who won the lottery Lottery would constantly travel between my country and her country and then buy expensive jewelry and cell phones for her.

1 year he was living in the luxury hotel, 1 year he was constantly traveling to her country and with her, 1 year he was buying her expensive jewelry. and after 1 year of spending so much, his money ran out and so his wife immediately abandoned him because he became very poor and then he felt ashamed to return to his parents' house because when he became rich he abandoned his parents so he preferred to stay living on the street and in desperation he started taking drugs and his body became very hurt and ugly, so people in my country started sending him a lot of jokes, they started calling him: "mistake"

For at least 2 years he suffered from people's jokes, until he got a job and got off the streets and drugs and changed his life, becoming a normal person. When they ask him if he was regretting abandoning their parents when he won the lottery, he responds that he is sorry. this case that happened in my country, has happened in many countries around the world, when people play and don't have time to analyze their actions, then things become a disaster, in my opinion it is very important to moderate in games and in any thing a person does in the real world to avoid making serious mistakes.

Was likely a trend on social media in my country when the online cockfighting was a trend during the quarantine days when COVID was still a thing and yeah those are hilarious jokes. Could be a funny way but to those who experience it is surely not a good one especially if you've really lost that much. I hope we didn't end this way, we should all gamble moderately.

I don't have a gambling joke they Is relatable but then I think this joke is one that has got a whole lot of lessons to be learnt from because I'm as much as it turns out like a joke it can literally happen to anyone in reality, some gamblers actually had gone through such experience.

As a gambler getting to the point where you have to sell any of your valuables ah get a substitute so as to enable you keep up, is a clear indication of addiction, at this point the gambler must have gotten addicted to the point they would have to seel off valuables to raise funds to continually fund their habit and this in a way could be seen as irresponsible gambling and should be discouraged, another important lesson learnt from that story is, gambling can actually ruin anyone.

Actually, this is a sad fact, but it's funny because it's a fact that I don't know. Maybe a month later, he took the bus, because his bike had also been sold. This could happen because there is no control over gambling activities.

Sometimes I am surprised, but it often happens, someone goes crazy and is unable to control himself in gambling. I'm sure they are included as addicted gamblers so that they are no longer able to control their desires and risk management to stop gambling when necessary. not to mention their fantasies that lead them to think that they can get the jackpot in the next round. This is just a fantasy which is very difficult to actually achieve. So, remain aware that gambling is high risk and don't believe in fantasies and hopes that are too high to be able to recover money from gambling losses easily.

The joke is quite intriguing and it shows that the longer we play gambling, the more we will lose money. even more so if the gambling is not done properly.

But unfortunately only a few people realize that and as for those who realize it, they prefer to ignore it and continue their gambling activities by betting even crazier, because they continue to assume that their money will return as soon as possible through a victory that they expect. But to hell with it, and what should and should not be experienced (losses) by them in gambling, this should have been a hard slap for them to be wiser in gambling. And make them a responsible gambler, who is able to control themselves over the gambling they do.

Have not read this kind of joke for some time now.  This kind of joke is often represented by memes.  This is simply a reminder for those who are into gambling and HYIP that has uncontrolled decisions and is driven by greed can be a devastating and may lead to financial ruins.


True that but if we practice responsible gambling, we might prevent ourselves in losing more.


Well, many failed to realize it because they have not experienced the negative effects of gambling, and when times they finally realize it, it is too late for them because they are already in financial problems.

---

It is good to read this kind of joke from time to time to remind us and keep us in check that gambling activity if not controlled can give us huge problem and sufferings.

That was pretty good lmao. Rather than throw trash to the gambler though it's more like playing with the idea that gamblers are, in the end, mostly on the losing side of things. Rare would be the chances where you'd be able to buy a new car due to gambling and rare is an underestimation in my opinion. Well if done in moderation I reckon said joke wouldn't happen to anyone though I guess I'd be glad if most gamblers even knew what moderation was exactly.

I rarely have gambling groups though, much less jokes about gambling so nothing to share though sadly. I did lookup a few online but nothing were that good except for a select few.

You would really be going into the deepest kind of situation in terms of finances on the time that you would really be tolerating your gambling leisure needs. You would really be finding yourself at great trouble if you do keep that kind of approach when it comes to kind of tolerating that kind of dealing with gambling. It is a joke but it does really hit hard when  someone is really on that situation
because you would really be losing everything if you wont really be that careful about your spending on gambling. Only gamble on the amount on which you can afford to lose and never ever
make yourself believe that money making in gambling would really be that so easy.,

If the gambler had won the money any brought the bike means,he must be the experienced gambler.Only few new gambler will win the big money like the money need to buy the bike.The second chat move the same to upside down,because the chat was conveyed he had sold the car for the gambling and buy the new bike using the same money.This mean the gambler had undergo the big loss in the gambling site.But it was not the true story all the time,because I know some of the big winner in my friend circle in the gambling site.But the fact is they was gambler over six big years.With the big win from the gambling site using the experience was made this happen.So the gambler should ready to face both the big loss and the big win from the same gambling site.Don't take the joke as the serious one,because gambler had a big chance to win big win using the gambling sites.

Of course in my country there are also many jokes like that. Even on YouTube there are lots of shorts and they are really funny, real depictions of gamblers

"After 2 months of gambling on the okeoke-bet site, now Jhonny can buy a new motorbike after selling his luxury car."

It’s dark humor. We would all laugh about it but it could also make one self reflect if affected negatively at any time by gambling and in any way. It’s a joke alright and it does reflect the bad aspects of excessive gambling. Sadly, a lot of people have gone through and still suffer the scenario as in the OP.
It also doesn’t mean people can’t and haven’t purchase new vehicles with the money they’ve won from gambling. But In the urgency to win such amounts, people are likely to go broke and into financial ruin and having to borrow money to provide their needs

Actually, this is somehow dark if you are going to look it at that perspective. It is funny but on that joke, it entirely encapsulates the possibilities that a person may experience if you make gambling a habit.

I have a joke that I would like to share:

How do you earn a small fortune from gambling?
Start with a large fortune.

It is also somehow dark but this is the reality of gambling- no matter how much we joke about it, remember that these jokes were written by people who have at least experienced them.

The truth is, it is literally happening because gambling can easily drain your funds if you don't know how to control it.
Dark humor but there's really truth in that and many are suffering from financial troubles because of their addiction.
A joke but many are suffering silently. People are just taking it lightly just to forget some bad experiences because of their addiction.

It is not for nothing that it is believed that jokes always contain our salt of life. And, sadly, those involved in games think little about the problems they may face if they lose. There is also an expression about gamblers that goes: “Many people know what they will do if they win a big sum, but they don’t know what to do if they don’t win.” But if you soberly assess your capabilities, then people who risk their money every day could invest in Bitcoin and get quite a lot more advantages than the risk of walking on the edge of the game.

During my teenage periods of time, my dad gave his younger brother about $1K to go pay the bills for the materials he ordered, the younger brother left for the errand which he was supposed to return back in not more than 2 hours.
He just spent all the money in gambling and was short of excuses. My dad waited and there was no return of him untill my dad reported to the security agencies about his brothers missing and finally some local security agencies found him under the bridge were touts are usually found around.

My lesson: This is were I formally learnt that it is a high risk of using a borrowed money or money entrusted in you to chasing some facts of making income that you are not sure about because when it fails according to ones willing, it is accompanied with frustrations that can temper ones mentality from unreasonable with some bathed of shames due to inability to payback as expected or a disappointment for being untrust Worthy.
And today's I came into Bitcoin investments that some probabilities of gambling are involved which I have also been sanctioned by my referer never to trade with either an entrusted fund or borrowed fund because anything encouraging or discouraging is liable to happen.
 
If he is not ready to realize his backwardness in life caused by his gambling, I see him taking the public transportation to work somedays.

I may not follow this actually  ;D

I always believe in building gradually and it time the resources or bankroll will increase. Even when it increases, I wouldn't also stick my neck out too much. I would stake the amount that I can lose and not to aim for large fortune when I'm not ready to lose all I have gradually built.

If I go with large bankroll and lose it means I would have to start again which is not a good bankroll management.

That joke was not even funny.... try these for a laugh :

Q: Why is gambling banned in Africa?
A: There are too many cheetahs!

Q: Why don’t vampires like gambling?
A: They get nervous when the stakes are raised.

My wife has left me because I am a compulsive gambler. I’d do anything to win her back.

A man goes into a casino and sees a sign that reads, “If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER.”

He thinks about it for a moment and then dials the number. When they answer, he says, “I have an ace and a six. The dealer has a seven. What do I do?”

Hope these jokes give you a proper laugh, because it is not funny when you lose money and you have to sell your house and car.  :(

Well, more than a joke, it's a reflection, a long time ago I deposited $100 in a very popular fiat casino, Good Game, after a couple of good months I decided to withdraw and I found that the minimum withdrawal was $1000. Seriously, I fell into the hare's trap, I wanted to run away and they caught me.

And you might wonder what the joke is, that based on what OP mentions, I would have to sell my bike in order to complete the withdrawal (figurative sense)...  :)

I agree with your statement, because being a wise and responsible gambler does not mean that we must and continue to multiply the winnings. But we must always be able to minimize the level of losses in gambling so as not to cause a significant loss.

But in this case it does not mean that I limit someone's efforts to win as much as possible in gambling. Because by continuing to improve knowledge as well as abilities, a person will always be able to increase the chances that he can get a win in gambling.
It's just that don't let this gambling promise a big win for the players, we continue to focus on pursuing the victory. Which is when it happens, the more we continue to pursue victory, the more our money goes into gambling.

And so, to realize the negative impact of gambling is not that we have to experience it ourselves. Because what happens to other people caused by the negative effects of gambling, it should be enough of a warning so that we can be more careful when playing gambling.

This is also a joke for crypto investments especially if you bought at a peak price and now its almost a useless project and at the bottom value so technically, this kind of jokes spread out in the whole market and any other field that involves money and the capital.

We know the risk of gambling and this can really happen if you become more greedy, don’t ever exchange your valuable things just to continue to gambling, better learn how to have a self-control and be responsible.

"I Don't Play The Odds, I Play The Man."- Suits

It's not really a joke but a Metaphor that has meaning to it and I loved it whenever Harvey used it in the series.

We can't get offended for every conversation but if someone is that bad in their bankroll management then they need to change their gambling pattern before they go broke.

It became a common joke here in the Philippines after online cockfighting became a massive thing. Lots of guys here who had nothing to do with their money finally found a way to waste it and there went the selling of properties which included houses, motorcycles, cars, and other type of stuff so they can fund their behavior, or fund their lifestyles after wasting all their money into gambling. Hell, I even heard of rumors about highly-influential people in the country actually losing hairs and huge wads of cash over this stupid game. And lately, the tragic loss (they literally vanished out of existence without a trace, and it's still an ongoing investigation in our country as of now) of some big-time cockfighters in the Philippines, possibly at the hands of the crime syndicates in my country.

Reflection of the current situation when it comes to gambling addiction yes, but I instead focus on the humor aspect of it. It’s funny after all lol.

The joke is actually a very funny one and rather than seeing it as reflecting any bad, I think is more of a wake up call to gamblers to be more conscious with their money while gambling as there are several chances of them getting ruined if they gamble uncontrollably. I think I’ve read several jokes about gambling and one similar one I could remember was a story or maybe more of an interview where a gambler was saying his life looks simpler and all thanks to gambling and at that poin I felt he was sarcastic as I learnt the gambler once lived a luxury life before gambling

I don't know a joke, but I remember seeing a thread on this forum which perfectly illustrated the joke you mentioned, where OP shared a picture of a parade (I think in Indonesia or Philippines) where people displayed a kind of gambling progression in the life of a gambler. At first position, a man came with a relatively expensive motorcycle, then after him another man came with an average one and in the end there was another man with a bike or a very old motorcycle model, can't remember exactly.

It was a criticize from the local community to gambling, due to negative experiences people there had gambling and the loss of financial power due to wasting their funds betting. Jokes can be an useful method to educate and enlight people about how they should change their behaviors in order to not prejudice themselves with bad choices.

That's kind of funny, but let's forget that it's a joke. Things like this happen in reality. I have seen it on different occasions that people sell their properties just to get money to gamble, and they always have the mindset to buy it back after winning from gambling, or buying something better than that after winning from gambling. But the most surprising part is that they will end up losing the money. After losing money, that's when they will start regretting why they sold their properties. A lot of people have done crazy things just because they needed money to gamble, and after gambling, some of them do discover their mistake, but that doesn't mean they won't make similar mistakes again.

These jokes will make it sound common loosing in gambling, many unsuccessful gamblers will relate to it because of how much they have lost. Even though these jokes passes a message of why care should be taken while gambling because of the risk of serious losses in gambling, it will be missed because many gamblers will only laugh about it missing the message. When we gamble and loose, we should always try to understand why we lost before we try to place another bet.

This can sound like a joke but it's not if someone should read meanings into the spoken word about gambling who sold their car for bike. This wouldn't sound like a joke to an addicted gambler, who has lost more than he can afford. Those who will take this as a joke are those who are less addicted to gambling.

Any addicted gambler joking about this without reflecting on it means that he hasn't learned from gambler addictions because if he does he would remain sober of what he has lost.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I really need to quite the entire thread so that anybody seeing my comment under won't say I'm gradually running craze or what's even funny over their.
 
It's indeed something laughable, as I just laughed myself out loud, that my kids always have to turn and look at me, as if something is wrong with me or if I'm watching a comedy video.
 
„It's a funny, but that's how most gamblers usually end up when they don't gamble responsibly. If you don't use your resources wisely and you sell your property just to raise funds to gamble, this is likely to occur. It can also happen to someone who has a good home because of gambling, they can sell that off and go for a batcher or will now consider leaving in a bus, considering that as the best.“

They are might be jokes but this one really reflects out on someones life if they wont really be careful on dealing with gambling on which you would really be going or coming into
a point that you are already selling out your possesions just because you are really that trying out to play gambling even more without even trying out to realize that you are
already losing much on which you do really come into a point that you are selling out your things which its a solid indicative sign that you are really that addicted.
It is one of the effects if you do hover yourself too much with gambling, you would really be ending up on a disaster.

we can laugh at those jokes but those are actually the reality faced by most gamblers. most are just letting it go by dry humour on this addictive activity. but for sure, a lot are silently suffering owed to financial troubles brought by their gambling habit. if not handled properly and just following your desires on this activity, you can easily go into the brink of addiction.

That is just a joke that makes you happy while playing seriously on gambling. I often hear that not only on gambling groups but in social media and other platforms where the important point we get is we have to be careful and not too greedy to play it. Actually, when playing gambling on normal, all our muscles and brain are relax especially when playing it on the right time such as night or afternoon after back in home. I think, when we watch that joke together while playing gambling, that makes our body to be more relaxed than just focus on gadget.

This became a local joke here. It's like somebody is giving a sort of a gambling testimony. He's saying thanks to gambling he's now driving a motorcycle. And then there's his name below with a note that goes "used to own a car".

I personally know people who have gone down this road. It was during the height of the pandemic when almost all of my friends were hooked on online gambling. One of them lost his family. One of them lost his motorcycle and his savings. I lost some of my savings, too.

The joke actually said that he was still lucky to be able to have a new bicycle to get to work instead of having to walk to work. At least he was lucky to have still the money to buy a new bicycle even though other people had no money at all. This teaches us a lesson that gambling can really make someone bankrupt and have no money left. That is why we have to be careful when gambling so that we don't lose a lot of money and can still have money to meet our daily needs. If a gambler cannot control himself and loses a lot of money, he should be able to realize that gambling is not a suitable place for him to get pleasure. He had to find another way to get that pleasure.

Nope, read the OP again.

It says that this gambler used to drive a car and now he was able to buy a bike because of gambling, that means he lose his car and all he can afford now is just to buy a bike. Isn't it a big downgrade? Though it could help him to exercise his body, but the morale of the story (joke) is that gambling would not make you from poor to rich but the other way around, at least for some.

Same joke with the one I have heard/read.

As far as I remember, it is like this,
Gambler X has now 6 digits of money in the bank. He used to have millions few days ago. 

A joke being spread to everyone to make them laugh and happy by the real experience of some anonymous gambler. Also a sarcasm joke that sometimes you didn't know if you would laugh or show pity to that anonymous gambler.

The gambling also the industry and community with bad and good things.If the gambler loss the money,it will be the bad things to them.If the gambler had won the big money form the gambling,it will be the good thing to him and his family.The gambling is not the joke,it was the serious game which involve of the real money which earned by the hard work.So the gambler should consider the gambling as the serious business,it help the gambler to play the original gambling with some concentration in the game.If the gambler try to get away from the gambling,it's not the easy part.Because the gambler who loss some dollars in the previous games made him to do the repeated gambling to recover the lost money.This was the major cause of the addiction into the gambling site.

Though I heard several stories patterning similar story you shared although there was a friend who sold his plot of land due to a correct score that was given to him to bet on and he has been gambling for a while even along the line he lost his job and faces many hard time in life but after 2 to 3 years of that he ended of buying a car for taxi. Anyone who came across him keeps saying he is lucky to have such opportunity to win and get himself car for running a taxi. Deep down this could be a result as a gambling addictions and this can also stirred him up to sell off his taxi whenever he feels that there will be more better chance for a life changing games.

May just be a joke but it's actually fact. It's exactly what's happening in the gambling world, it hasn't really been a wonderful experience for many because they're repeatedly recording losses upon losses. Some has lost more than just money but also several valuable assets. Especially when a person is struggling with addiction. Else I see no reason why a person would sell his car just to go gamble.

A joke that is happening in real world and there’s a lot of cases already like this in my place.
In fact, it also happen in other investors and not just for the gamblers as they become more greedy and become a victim of fake projects and got scammed.

Gamblers are more prone to this if they have no plan yet or strategy on how to set-up a good strategy as they tend to gamble more without even thinking for the risk of it. Just be more responsible and gamble the money within your budget.

In general, gambling is an activity that is used as a means to get pleasure, which serves as a diversion or an outlet for the pressures of life. and people like this are not too concerned about whether they win or lose, the most important thing is that they can enjoy their gambling activities and get pleasure. But when a person is no longer able to maintain this assumption, the longer he plays gambling. the more addicted he is to gambling and turns his gambling into compulsive gambling.


If a person is clear-minded, when he gets a big defeat, then he will consider that this is a sign that he must immediately stop his gambling activities and return to trying to control himself over the gambling he does. But not so for gambling addicts, where they will continue to bet even though they often get defeated. And that can happen because a gambling addict does not know when he should stop playing, and when is the right time to play gambling. They are unable to do so even though they have set time limits and deposit limits.

The gamblers that sell personal belongings to gamble are addicted. Most people go to physical bet shop just because they will buy personal belongings of addicted gamblers. Some of these bettors are loss chasers that can do anything to get funds to satisfy thier uncontrollable urge to gamble. Anyone that engages in such act needs help and should be seek counsel immediately.

We have a gambling joke that also serves as an advice which says " if you you want to avoid hypertension, never calculate all you have lost for a year on gambling". The meaning is that it is better to let the past go because summing up how much you have lost on gambling for a year especially when you were not lucky, could make you sad or even depressed.

Well, I have never come across such a joke before, but honestly, this is actually no joke at all as it one hundred percent reflect the true experience of alot of gamblers.

I once watched a video, it was more of a drama that was organized by a group of persons to showcase to the youth of that community how bad of an experience gambling can be if not done responsibly.
In the drama, they were all lined up, and the first was driving a care, the second person was driving a wrecked car, the third person was riding a bike, the fourth persons was riding a bike that was already getting old, the fifth person was pushing an really old wrecked bike that can no longer start, the sixth person was pushing a bicycle and so on..

This drama for those who understood it, shows the several stages an addicted gambler will go through until he or she becomes completely wrecked, that is, from a car owner to not owning even a bicycle, this drama is similar to the joke op shared.

This all teaches us to gamble responsibly at all times, it is very important for not just our well-being, but also for our finance.

I will say that such gambler must have been lucky to make a record on what he had use his winning fund to buy, this will always be remembered by him each time he flash back on that same incident that led to his winning, some have won more than that and yet don't have anything to show, but the second or later part of the story with their conversation is disheartening.


The first aspect of the story is what is interested to talk about, but you can see the response of the same first speaker on how he landed the whole story, this is pathetic that he sold a car to buy a bike, what a dirty retrogression, this is nothing but losses.

Indeed, it is a downgrade. But compare it with other gamblers who have lost everything they own and can't buy anything. Meanwhile, he can still buy a bicycle, a new bicycle. That means he's still lucky.

Buying a new bicycle for work is still better than walking to work. That means he's still lucky.

That's the explanation, mate.

;D

Once a gambler makes one win after a long period of reckless gambling and consistent losses,  he celebrates and claims he is lucky. This win motivates him to put in more effort as there are still chances for him to win more (of which we know it doesn't always work that way). Now the big question is, was the win able to cover up all he has lost? The properties he sold to fund his games? Obviously not. While congratulating him for at least going home with a bike,we should also advise him to gamble in moderation. Set healthy budgets for himself and as much as possible avoid selling off important properties to fund his gambling habit. If he fails to adhere to advice, he might even sell the new bike and be lucky again to get a bicycle.

Ha ha. True that. Basically when a gambler wins the big prize, just don’t ask him how long he has been playing. He may have won $100k recently but when you look at his bets you may see that he wagered way more than $100k. But gamblers don’t make these calculations because they don’t care. They are addicted to that feeling. If they were making calculations then they wouldn’t be playing but hey I am judging anybody. We all have different tastes. Some of us spend our money on some other stupid shit. I like to buy shitty electronic devices which I never used and probably never will for example

Getting a win after several losses is like water in the desert that gives us coolness. But we have to realize that it is a code for us so that we can stop because we have won and continue gambling another time. The wins we get will not be able to cover all the losses because the number of losses may be greater than the number of wins. He may also have difficulty purchasing property, such as cars that he has sold to gamble. But at least he has gained valuable experience from gambling, so that he must immediately reduce his gambling activities or even stop his gambling activities. It was for his own good so that he would not experience more losses and so that he could still own his property.

The journey differs per gamblers and we all understand that in the process of becoming good gamblers, it's important to learn from the moral of the story. It illustrates how people, non gamblers, see or discuss about the gamblers. More like watching to experience how the gambler is going to end up in gambling. When we win in gambling, these people won't be happy, same people pass around the bad publicity across the world about gambling. Discouraging people from venturing into gambling. The wrong perspective new gamblers hear before venturing into gambling administer fear on them. Hence, the fear is like a catalyst that helps in losing in gambling. As these players already have in mind that lots of gamblers lose properties and wealth in gambling. It'll be difficult for them not to fail, unlike a gambler who has in mind that if they're frugal about gambling, they'll see success. Most of the gamblers like in the fun story, wasn't frugal gamblers. That's why he had to sell his car to purchase a bike. The story is quite intuitive and shouldn't be seen as a funny story alone, it'll be great to learn through it and practice it as well.

The only gambling joke I know (besides the Tarantino's joke from Desperado, check that one out if you haven't heard it):

Husband comes back late and wife is waiting for him at the door.
-Where were you?
-With friends, like always.
-Be honest you were gambling again?
-And if I were?
-If you were than you can pack your bags and get out!
-Fine but you better start packing too, it's not our house anymore.

It seems much to me, a moral lesson than a joke. It literally is telling those gamblers out there, whom are starting to loos control on their gambling habit to be mindful of how they gamble. An addicted gambler might be subjected to many taughts, when he no longer has another option to get money for his gambling. In this text, it shows how the man literally has lost his car to gambling, telling us that he is either addicted or a bad gambler.

He’s definitely not lucky. He had a car, sold it cause of financial issues due to gambling and now is the proud owner of a bicycle. Would you count yourself lucky after selling your vehicle and getting a bicycle just cause they’ve been other cases where other individuals can’t even afford to get a bicycle?
There is no basis for comparison here. If we’re comparing here, how about other gamblers who have managed to win for themselves enough money to get luxury cars and private yachts? Would you still say the guy who sold his vehicle and bought himself a bicycle is lucky?

There is an extraordinary feeling of joy when they can finally get victory after sacrificing several or even dozens of defeats, as you said about getting a bottle of water that falls from the sky when you are in the middle of the desert, it makes sense to describe that feeling. the joy they got was  extraordinary. It is a good condition if your victory can restore everything you have lost, but the question is, will they be able to stop their activities in that condition? can they hold back everything that comes out of their minds as a result of curiosity? I'm not sure about this.

As proof, now more and more people are experiencing an increase in their level of addiction, meaning they always want to get something bigger because they think that luck is still not finished but there is no indication whatsoever that tells them that they are still in a lucky position. On the other hand, it is quite rare for me to see quite good recoveries, usually  their winnings will only cover half the money they have spent, meaning the amount of losses is still large. Simply put, if the wins they get are big enough then the number of losses they have experienced is much bigger. So I think only responsibility and recognizing something that has been lost can make them realize and stop.

Playing gambling as a way to make money or as a main income source is really tough. It's like a financial rollercoaster that can mess up your life. Imagine being super rich before, but then, because of gambling, you end up pretty broke. It's so sad because a lot of people become poor just because they got too into gambling.

The big warnings are always there, but people just ignore them. And when things go south, it's not funny anymore – they become a joke to many.

Gambling can be kind of fun if you can keep it under control – like managing your time, money, and only aiming for a reasonable profit. But chasing losses is a bad idea; it just makes things worse.

Actually, we have similar sayings in my country too. Some even turn this into interesting content that grabs the attention of a lot of people online.

I've never seen successful gamblers in real life.. I've always been seeing probably fake attestations?? Cus if you wanna look at it critically, you ain't winning at all; if you staked a game at about $100 and your potential winnings for some few odds was like $600 and it actually cut... Then you kept wagering with the winnings - in the space of two weeks, you've lost $1200, who's losing?? This calculation doesn't mean anything to an addicted gambler anyways.

I think he is still lucky if he can maintain his finances and he has gotten out of his gambling addiction, but if he still gambles in conditions of economic crisis then other losses will be greater and maybe the final solution is selling his bicycle, so we have to provide a solution for him so he can immediately avoid gambling addiction, it will have a serious psychological impact if he loses on every bet. I think don't make this case a joke because other people are suffering big losses, so it's better to remind him to be careful about placing high bets and he should set a fund limit in gambling to avoid high losses.

a gambler saying he is quitting gambling after the current gambling session he's doing.

not sure if this can be considered as a joke but I find it funny because I've heard so many gamblers say that but in the end you still see them gambling either the next day, next week or next month and if you ask them why are they gambling they get angry and defensive. you also realize that it is sad because you know they have trouble actually quitting gambling.

The gambler will face the loss initially in the gambling sites,from the initial loss in the gambling site.So you also should not conclude you never win any game in the gambling and not an successful gambler.If you had full confidence to play the gambling,the success will reach your pocket in the short period.Only the gambler who win big money in the gambling is not the gambler,the gambler who play the regular match in the gambling site and who wait for the big win one day is also the successful gambler.

Lesson as a form of joke: yes, I agree, it may seem like a funny joke, but the truth is that this joke is really happening to the gamblers out there,from wealth to none, as they let gambling swallow their wealth by themselves, so this is a good lesson for those who are planning to enter gambling or are already in gambling and not realising that gambling is not doing them any good. Maybe there are some successful gamblers, but only a few. I don't often see or hear someone getting rich in gambling; maybe in lotto, yes, but in other gambling games, I don't think anyone has the luck to become rich by just hoping. Losing something just because of gambling is too stressful and regretful, so before it's too late, gamblers should wake up and realise that if they continue gambling, something or someone might be gone to them.

It is indeed fact the reality on which there are indeed people who do really ends up on  this way specially when they do lose up too much in gambling on which it do really comes into a point that you would really be losing possessions which would cause up for you to downgrade or even losing those things when you dont able or fail to stop gambling completely.
You would be coming into a point that selling out those things until you have nothing left and this is also a solid indication that you are already addicted to gambling and it is really just that right that
you should be avoiding it at all cost on which you would be coming into that kind of condition because recovery would really be that so hard into this case.

Now you compare someone who has lost all his money but can't buy a bicycle for himself and has to suffer because he doesn't have any money or anything else because of his losses from gambling with someone who also experiences losses from gambling, but he can still afford to buy a bicycle. Who is luckier? I'm just pointing out that even though he lost from gambling, at least he was luckier than other gamblers who had lost everything, and even these other gamblers couldn't buy a bicycle for themselves. Which one is luckier? I hope you understand what I mean.

Yes, there is indeed a feeling of happiness after winning after experiencing consecutive losses, but can it really recover from the losses? It seems not because he lost too much, and perhaps the winnings he got were not enough to recover all the losses he experienced from gambling. But, indeed, they will not stop their gambling activities even after they get their winnings, especially for those who have been gambling for a long time because they increasingly want to get another win another day. You should be careful of this because it can trigger them to gamble without any restrictions, especially if they intend to get another win.

This means that we must be able to control ourselves when gambling and prevent the level of gambling addiction so that we will not return to gambling more often. If we can prevent it, we can definitely get gambling activities that suit what we want, where we only want to gamble for fun and entertainment. By trying to prevent too many losses, we can also prevent the gambling addiction that many gamblers experience. We also won't lose valuable items because we don't want to experience a lot of losses.

     -    It seems wrong to sell your car just so you can gamble, and then, in the end, just buy a bike to go to work. It means that the person who sold the car did not grow from his gambling; instead, he lost.

At least he still bought an alternative bike so he could get to work without spending fares or fuel for the car, and he didn't get caught by the police because he didn't need a license. I hope he wins again so he can buy another car.

Yup, I think they all know that what they did is wrong but we can't say it to them or we can't give them an advice not to sell their properties and some high branded owned things just for gambling because believe me, they really know and aware on that.  It's just that even if they are aware, but once you are on the heat of playing and things doesn't go to your favor, you don't realize that you've made a decision that you don't really want and that wasn't in the plan.

When it gets to the level of you selling anything for gambling then you are a bad gambler, you need to change your strategy or you will keep back from grace to grass, I pray none of us to end up like this because of gambling, because it's just not worth it, I don't have a joke about gambling, it's something I choose to never take too serious because it's ways of making money is not even seriousness anyway, you turning $100 into $20,000 is like too good to be true, remember you aren't breaking any sweat.

This idea in my head never let me believe anything from gambling, to me it's just too easy and I expect the result to be not always good,  because if it's this easy to make money, everyone will quit their jobs and become a gambler instead, I choose to believe the right things and I choose to take gambling as a gambling, no hope and no dream, just do it when you have the extra money.

I can do crazy things for real assets like Gold and Bitcoin, I can sell my car to buy Bitcoin, I will still make a lot for doing this, because Bitcoin isn't depending on my own luck, it has it's utilities and value, no luck attached to investing unless you lack how to go about it.

Well, irresponsible gamblers will only understand if they face something like that because they barely listen to anyone saying that gambling can be destructive if you don't gamble responsibly and have a limit for the time and money that you spend on it. It's been proven millions of times in the past and people still don't learn from that, they say that their luck might be different from others and they might not lose as much as others did so they will try their luck.

When they start, they don't stop after trying their luck. If they win, they start thinking that they can win all the time which makes them gamble more, and if they lose, they start trying to recover their losses and eventually lose more money. In any way, they are going to trap themselves if they aren't responsible.

Yeah, they just joke about it, thinking it helps them forget about it. But I think it is only effective if our loss is not huge enough. For those who lose big, it is hard for them to accept it but there are other more effective ways that they do other than joking about it, and that is they see it as an expensive lesson and will now try to change their self.

If the joke is being given down to other gamblers, we must be careful or better if we observe them first if they are feeling positive and it's also okay for them to receive a joke, as some can get offended by it and we can get in to trouble. If we want to help our selves or the others, it's better to take it seriously.

This joke or meme or whatever you call it is all over the internet. It's not just a joke for gambling but also on everything that put your money on the line like risky investments.
The last time I saw this joke was with a cryptocurrency group in facebook where a guy bought a lot of shitcoins that eventually losses it's value.
If there's a truth within that joke, that guy will probably going to lose his bike next if he continue his compulsive gambling attitude lol.

Yes, this isnt really talking about gambling alone but also in other things life that in speaking about risks taking on which bad decisions would really be leading into disaster not only on gambling but also
in investment too. Yes, it might turn out to be a joke but this is really that indeed part of reality where investment could end up on a disaster if you arent really that careful.
This is why it would really be that important that you should really know on how to make things in control and in moderation because if you dont then you would really be ending up on a disaster.
Not all people would really be that sensible though because there are ones who are mindful and there are ones who do tolerate out such addiction and this is something that you wont really
that able to avoid if you are that someone who do really loves gambling or simply being that greedy.

Such is both a bad gambler and an addict combined. If he could sell his car to buy a big due to gambling then theirs every he will wake up one money having nothing to sell again to satisfy his gambling urge he will now fall back to selling the bike and buying a scooter as an option let it not be as if he has started trekking completely being a former car owner ;D .  All of these may read as a joke but it's real and gamblers are experiencing it I mean the bad and addictive gamblers.  People's orientation about gambling is quite dissimilar is many ways and it's only those that are inclined with that orientation that they can make rich through gambling they are the ones that often have this experiences.
