One of the reasons why people easily get addicted to gambling is when they start their journey into gambling just so they can solve their financial crisis.

Most of the people around me that are strongly into gambling and would even dress up in the morning as though they are going to work and go straight to the soccer betting shop are individual that don't have a job they are doing and that have seen people win big money through gambling and so all their mind is fixed at getting their own win also.

Some will even do small jobs just so they can get the money they will use in gambling with the mindset that it is through that gambling that they will be freed from poverty.

Once you find yourself in that condition just know that you are going to waste your time, money and energy in gambling and the reality is that most of the people that have a fixed mentality that they must win in their gambling are the ones that always loose their money in process.

Gambling is not a means to an end and their is no guarantee that you must win in the process so just do your prediction and enjoy the fun, if you win, thumbs up for you but if you don't win don't allow it get at you and don't assume you can always win back your money, learn and master the right time to walk away.

nice dress up like they are going to an office. wanna show the people around them that they have an office job and can take care of themselves. living a lie.

waking up in the morning and dressing up must be tiresome for them, have you not suggested that they can do it online?
this way if they could just bet online they may be able to find a real job and stretch their muscles.

I am honestly quite surprised that there are really some people who are dedicated to gambling; I mean, it is all fun and games until you experience your first losing streak and thereby end your whole career slowly with all the nonstop bets that you make.

At the end of the day, the house always wins due to the presence of house edge. If you truly want to maximize your earnings, then play card games such as poker, blackjack, etc. in order to at least control the game with your skill (e.g. bluffing, etc.) to your advantage.

Sports betting may also be done but do not treat it as something that you should completely rely on for your monthly income. If you view it as a means to an end, then expect things to slowly suffer from your end as you are relying on something that is very inconsistent.

Walking away is always the biggest dilemma of most gambler because there’s always an expectation to win more or recover losses on your next bet that’s why many gamblers keep playing while they still have available balance to play.

One thing I learn about gambling is always setting a target profit and stop loss before I stop playing. Having a profit over my target is just a bonus in case I win huge amount on a single jackpot bet. I always immediately stop gambling whenever this condition was triggered. So Yeah, mastering how to walk away is really a must for every gambler because this is the hardest part of the game especially if you still have balance that is lower to your initial deposit.

This is absolutely good advice for a newbie gambler or any gambler who thinks they can earn a living out of gambling. That's obviously what leads to gambling addiction—losing more than they expected and becoming frustrated.

Have read  Request to learn gambling (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5475863.msg63237697#msg63237697). I did not actually know what motivated the girl to believe that she could make money from gambling, and if perhaps she did not inquire from me and I discouraged her, had it been that she just ventured into gambling by herself without asking me, she probably would have gotten addicted and lost all her savings.

Gambling is for fun, and despite the fact that we enjoy the winnings that we make from it, that's not a reason to handle gambling as if it's a source of income.

Will people ever learn? I don't think there will ever be a time where people would fondly treat gambling as a way for fun and not a way to make money. As long as the economy keeps kicking people out of jobs and making people out of jobs have difficulty in getting new jobs keeping them jobless and unemployed, there always will be people who will gamble with the little they have to try to get more because in gambling they find hope that they can at least earn something to even afford them a proper meal or money to start up little business. It is a wrong thing, but it does not stop them from doing it. A poor man or woman who gambles will certainly not be gambling just for having fun.

sometimes the situation is quite different, most people who have a small economy often get caught up in gambling and use it as a hope, in contrast to people who have enough economy they gamble with pleasure

Yes, you are right, gambling is not a good way to make money and the more we chase winning, the more we usually lose. The only way to win in gambling is when we are able to control our emotions and play carefully and only choose sports matches that have a high chance of winning.

We should determine a budget for gambling so that when we lose we don't run out of all our money and when our gambling budget runs out we should be able to stop even though we still have money. Many members here can do that and they only allocate around 5% or 10% of their salary to gambling so that when losses comes it will not affect their financial condition.

Even though we know that gambling is an activity for fun, I am sure that all gamblers must have experience chasing losses, especially those who are new to gambling. When we have experienced a big loss, we only realize that what we did was wrong, and usually from experience they start to be able to gamble responsibly, but there are also those who become even more addicted because they hope that their losses can be back

People who take gambling as a job are just being too lazy to take up any real job and earn money. They are daydreamers who just want to wear that fancy clothes, building that fancy house,  buy the nicest car and enjoy themselves without necessarily having to stress themselves earning the money they need to finance this fancy lifestyle. Many of them who take up gambling as a job do not bother to invest their money in other profitable ventures when they eventually win. They are full time gamblers.

Being among these category of gamblers might seem sweet until your family and friends begin to see you as a lazy and irresponsible fellow. Who else would be happy with someone who invests every little amount of money that enters his hands into gambling without wanting to get any real job? One of the long term effects of gambling as a job is that it configures the brain of the gambler to believe that gambling is the only way. Even when he is seriously suffering financially, he still believes tomorrow will be better.

This is what usually happens to every gambler, sometimes gamblers have too many inappropriate goals, usually they gamble tend to want to make money, they hope their gambling will be profitable and don't think they will experience losses, even though it has been explained that gambling is not just talking about winning but also about what defeat is, especially always expecting a profit but forgetting about losing money, every gambler must understand both sides.

When they win they should be able to enjoy their winnings by withdrawing the money. Likewise, when they lose they should not try to make another deposit just to recover their losses, there is still time tomorrow to get another lucky break, after all as gamblers you have to learn from experience that the dealer will always win when We really chase money, but we can also feel victory when we consider gambling to be just entertainment. it all comes back to mindset

Like I have always said, that a gambler needs a budget which should be the gambling budget and it should not be more than 1% of their weekly income which is what is recommended. But as for me, I still go up to 2 to 5% which is not affecting me and not all the time that I am gambling. If a gambler do not have determination to have a gambling budget which is low enough not to cause financial problem if lost to gambling, that gambler is not yet a good gambler and most likely that the gambler will not gamble responsibly which may lead to addiction.

People can take it as the jobs ~XD

Example: Streamer, Poker Profesional. As long you can control and manage your self, these industry have some potential. Especially on (Streamer) the money flow is really big as you can see the contract between Stake - Influencer

It's really rolling.

If someone is only gambling as their full-time activity then they are already addicted to it and this advice won't make a teeny change in their approach, they might learn their lesson in the hard way. But for someone who is just starting their gambling then this might be a good suggestion but how many of the people read about how to do it until it becomes too late?

If gambling becomes a concern for an individual then better to avoid gambling at all is my advice because risk may end up forcing things to do even if they are not willing to do.

If there's a way for a regular gambler to make a living out of gambling, then the government will include gambling in their database but it's just impossible to do it, you cannot make a living by betting but you can get a job in the gambling industry like a dealer, a waiter an entertainer a manager or even a security guard in a physical casino and a support specialist and developers and coders in an online casinos.
But as a bettor, it's just impossible, many have tried and all of them failed although there are a few exceptions, but just because there's an exception you can easily get in that elite group.
If you want to make a living in gambling, do so not as a bettor but as part of the casino operation.

Since the level of employment in the world is very high, there are people that do take gambling as there own job and they are eager to get themselves skilled and make sure they understand every corners in gambling so that they can make money more and get a better lifestyle for themselves.
We don't even need to go look for a job, once we develop ourselves and make sure we are equipped with things that would guarantee our future, then all we need is to go for it.
There are people that are more specialized in gambling and knows how to strategize to make more profits in gambling without even bothering about getting a job because they are okay with what they are doing.

Some people end up even selling their belongings on the process or quest to make this money. Having the thinking of to change the story of their family by gambling. which only turn you to a chronic gambler. Gambling is just a game of luck and not what to put your entire interest on, otherwise you will become a laughing stock to the public.

People take gambling seriously as long as they win.  If they win, they think that gambling is an easy way to earn money for them. Those who continue to gamble with this motive suffer. And those who gamble for fun in their spare time or to keep themselves happy and have the ability to lose the money they deposit and if they don't care about their losses then they will understand the real fun of gambling.  Gambling can never be like a job for someone nor can gambling be a regular source of income for someone. It's just a fun place. It does not lead to bad experiences for those who accept gambling as only fun

gambling is just fun and no more.
if people want make this activity as a real job... they need to work really hard and even in this case profit are low or maybe inconsistent with hard work done. We have seen tons of people trying to do this but without a "professional" approach, there is just a chance to fail.

Gambling for fun is a shit reason. You gamble to expect profit in return. Why gamble for only fun? It might be right that don't take gambling as a job or career but once you gamble, don't make it just for fun because losing is not fun. Even if you afford to lose that money used in gambling, you won't realize how much you are losing now just because you are having fun.

If you want to make fun, do other things instead, and don't gamble.

Easy to say but hard to apply to ourselves, why? Gambling involves money and it just happened that money is necessary to make a living. We cannot sinply tell other people to afford what they are losing sinply because they have the desire to win in the first place. Some are even hoping to be rich in an instant. Let's just say assuming that these are all games would be a good mindset however we are all moving across different circumstances. Sine has the drive to be rich simply because that's something they percieve as the solution to their problems which will always be valid.

I do get the point; we shouldn't be putting everything in gambling 'coz losing is more likely to happen in the long run. However, it would be a worse advice to just play and enjoy things even if players are losing from time to time. We don't know the story of each of us but for sure we aren't just doing things 'coz we have to; we have our own freewill of things. Some are in the first place earning consistently and ofcourse there are others who are struggling; just a common scenario with gambling.

There is a misconception about this gambling of a thing as a source of income, as side husle and the fun of it. If gambling is really as fun as it is said to be, we will have more people that will dwell on that all the tune but ask people around you about gambling, they will tell you not to start it if you haven't try it and if you have try it, they will tell you to stop because of the addiction and losses some people has experience for some time.

However, that doesn't mean we don't have people have made through gambling. We have people that has made fortune from gambling and they are making it as we speak right now from gambling, such people are destined to create wealth from gambling but they are few so judging by the numbers, gambling as a source of income isn't a thing to even try.

As for side husle, I think it's good got the seasonal gamblers that has win to loss ratio of 4:1, they win 4 and lose 1 and they have been able to make money from gambling and doing their other jobs. Some even use the money they make from gambling to increase the size of their business and continue to run both of them and it works for them as a side husle.

Never mind considering this gambling activity as a permanent job, assuming that this gambling activity is a side job, it is impossible for me personally to think so. Because from my experience, winning in gambling is a matter of chance and I really can't guarantee that every time I play gambling, I will get a big profit. And what happened was the opposite, I had more defeats than wins. Even though I have tried my best to make mature analysis results every time I place a bet. Even though I did my best to stay under control when gambling, it still ended in a loss. Even though the loss was quite small, I was still able to bear and accept the loss. But if it is accumulated, maybe the number will be bigger than what we previously thought.

Gambling is just a hobby, so it is not good if we dedicate too much time just to gambling. And it doesn't make sense if someone thinks that gambling is their daily job.

Solving financial crisis? Sooner or later or not really that long, you would really be able to find yourself getting bust up with it and you would completely changed up those impressions on which it might lead into
that deep frustration and disappointment basing up on the situation that you are facing. Gambling is never been a job or something that you could really make money constantly on which it would really be just that right that you should really be having that kind of approach towards it on which it would really be just that right that you should really just that treat it for the sake of fun and not for income. This is where people do usually
ends up on getting wrecked with gambling because of those having wrong impressions towards it. This is why it would be always ideal that you should really be that realistic or something
that having that kind of sensible approach towards it because if you do make yourself  that delusional then this is where mistakes do start to mold on.

Dont let yourself that believe on things which arent that even realistic to believe on. Well, people do learn up on the harsh way on which they could really be possibly be able to
avoid those things if they did really just that let themselves mindful about into their own actions on which we do know that not all people
would really be having that self awareness.

The only people who could make a living from gambling are the ones who owns it, not the gamblers or player.
If you want to make a living out of it then stop being the player be the owner or invest/share holder.
It is hard to make a living from gambling if you are thw player.

Since only very few people are able to make fortune from gambling, and only about 5%-13% gamblers are able to leave the casino with more money on their pockets than when they came in (researches don't reach an accurate percentage), we shouldn't think about gambling as a potential source of income or life changer. The chances are just too small to become reality, while the chances of a disaster are huge, if you keep gambling in a frequent basis with money you can't afford to lose.

If they are able to make profit, good for them. But as we said above, we shouldn't even try to think about gambling as a source of income, even as a source of extra income. These profitable gamblers you mentioned are probably inside that margin of 5%-13. In every cases, it's not going to work for most gamblers. If the goal here is to find a side hustle to increase monthly income, the individual should be seeking for it through working into something solid and real, instead of daydreaming about gambling possible outcomes.

Gambling is not a job, and people should know that, so they should not use gambling to make money. This is a mistake that people still make because it will cause problems for them until they end up addicted to gambling. But if they still have the desire to make money from gambling, it must be difficult to convince them to stop gambling and stay away from gambling. They will reject it and will instead be even more eager to try to win the gambling game. Moreover, they will see winners from gambling more often, making them even more curious about winning. If they can gamble in moderation without expecting much from gambling, they can enjoy gambling as entertainment and will let the wins come to them. By doing things like that, they can learn something from gambling by not gambling excessively. And this requires awareness from each person so that they can use gambling only as needed.

Such people are helping bookies get richer, simply because they think gambling is an opportunity to make money because they don't really understand gambling. Ease of use does not mean ease of control, or more accurately, it is like a trap for prey to fall into.
Anyway, if from the beginning everyone has an interest in learning about any field, then the experience process will greatly reduce the number of addicts. I'm also a player aiming for comfort and fun, so I'm not stubborn about the idea that it brings income. Anyone who wants to do so should do so, as long as they behave responsibly and family.

It is nice to read so many based replies from people who understand gambling is entertainment. Now if only traders could realize the same, and that exchanges are not much different from casinos…

Once a person face a tough financial situation, there is really a possibility that they might consider gambling as one of their good and best last resort. Out of desperation to make money within a short period of time, they will risk their small earned money or will try to look for a capital to start gambling. I can't blame most of them why they become involved in gambling to solve their financial crisis since their mind is not working properly anymore.

That's why if we know some people who are dealing with that problem, rather than just ignore them or make fun of them, we should help them to understand the right path. It's ok to do gambling. It's not prohibited in most cases after all, but only if these people really know what they're doing.

i believe a lot of gamblers have that kind of thinking when they got into this habit. because for them, if they will their luck, they can have good money. but most of time, it will turn out to be not in their favour. actually, most of the time, they will be on the negative side of things. the usual dilemma is that most of them don't want to be bothered by their activities. they will only ask help if they are already too deep with their troubles.  

some gamblers who are into poker, or sportsbetting can still make good money. that is, if they have been here long enough making them as professionals and expert on these games. otherwise, if you venture the world of the usual casino games like dice, slots, crash and others, you won't go anywhere on these games if you won't stop at one point, especially if you are already on the winning side.

Yes this is what most gamblers that don't have their own means to raise for their bet do. They go for daily jobs like laborer job to get money to eat and also bet to try their luck.

The point therefore is that people don't like to go through hard kind of jobs, they want to make easy money and they run under gambling to achieve that but the unfortunate thing is that gambling doesn't give you that kind of free money.because it is not a guarantee.

Sad reality, but no matter how many topics like this there are in this forum, if this can't reach those people or gamblers that are addicted to gambling, then they will not be enlightened and wake up from their wrongdoings. Gambling is really built for fun and entertainment only until it involves money. From there, even a gambler who initially aims to have fun in gambling will end up losing more money because they cannot take the feeling of losing money, and that's when they start to play more in order to increase their money or to recover the lost. Little do they know they are being brought to their addiction.

Gambling will never and ever be a source of income or a way of living, as you could lose money anytime, and the losing of money in this thing is fast, so you will only notice that you've lost anything when you don't have anything.

I myself am like that. I consider gambling as a job to earn extra income to pay for my family's expenses. I know this is risky because not only will I gain more income, but I will also lose my savings. But only gambling can make money quickly. I'm trying my luck. I am controlling myself well in gambling. If I'm lucky, I'll have some money. If I'm unlucky, I'll only lose what I can afford to lose. Because I only spent a small amount of savings to gamble. And I only spend a little time during the day to play.

It is weird to understand that some people will wake up in the morning dress up as if they are going for a job and end up in a betting shop, personally I have not seen or experienced this kind of situation, but for anybody that does that, that person needs some psychological evaluation, betting cannot be taken as a full-time job, it is something we do for leisure and to have fun,  gambling is all about prediction of a certain outcome and that outcome might not be guaranteed so is a 50/50 situation,  so if somebody makes it a day to day job then that person must be checked properly. Gambling should be done with a good level of sanity, because going by your statements is as if some persons are seeing gambling as a poverty elevation program. Of course people make good money from gambling no matter your status in the society, rich or poor anybody can make good money from gambling, but that shouldn't be a yastic for you to become a nuisance in a gambling environment.

I believe it is a lesson and also something which has been already repeated several times here in the gambling section. How this activity is supposed to be nothing beyond a way to get entertainment and thrill. Though, sadly there is a lot of people who have that mindset which you described and only partake in gambling because of their interest on the potential money they COULD earn by chance.
I believe if those people who have such a mindset were aware of the chances they actually have when comes to winning consistently, then they would try to give their time and money a better use.
In the end, each one of us is responsible for the money wagered, and responsible for the consequences which would come with the earns and losses. So sad how people do not yet understand the importance of gambling responsibly as a priority.

The gambler who took the gambling as the real job must be more cautious to have money for the next game.Because every game gave you both the opportunity to win and loss,So the gambler should able to reach the game after he had lost everything he had.The gambler should learn to withdraw the winning money after the big money was made,enable the greedy at the risky time will leads to further risk of winning.The gambler who wants to do gambling as their real job should get satisfied with the minimum reward of money.The gamblers who had huge backup will not worry for the money loss in the game.

Everyone doesn't have this mentality and very few through their experience understand it and limit the spending. The majority does it in the wrong way. They just experience good winning at the beginning and the same thought gets stuck in their mind. For the same they keep running with loan money and with different other sources borrowing.

Yup, but at least those beginners in gambling will understand the right concept about it so that they will not going to be like those other gambling addict who chose to do gambling as their main job. I knew someone who had a previous high paying job in a corporate company, but after participating in different casino sites, He didn't work well and he was fired because of his changes of behavior and actions inside the company. He was addicted to gambling and we didn't see him regretting, but continued gambling and he even made it his main career, which is not okay. He wasted a good job and a high salary just for his gambling. Many people were disappointed with what he did, especially his family, but he didn't think about it anymore because his mind was poisoned about gambling.

Exactly, casino operators or those who created slot machines are the only ones that are going to make lots of money out of us. And even us gamblers knows how the game is being played here, still though, we are willing to take that risk and hope that someday we are going to win big. But to consider gambling as like as means to an end, to bring food in the table for your family on a daily basis? it's a wrong mindset.

There could be some successful gamblers, like professional poker and win millions in a tournament. But still skills are a requirement and it takes someone years to perfect his craft to become a pro poker and still not assurance that you can land in the top 10 and make a lot of money.

It turns out that there are also many such people, I also know some people who make gambling as the main job regardless of the real job.
It is quite unfortunate indeed to have to sacrifice their real job for gambling, which ultimately becomes them as an addict and affects their lives drastically.

I'm also not against gambling because I do too, perhaps the difference is how to treat gambling as entertainment only and nothing more.
Because if you only focus on gambling and don't think about the work that should be done, it already goes into gambling addiction, which is not good.
They need for attention from the surrounding environment, especially the family, so that such people do not fall too far into gambling addiction.

Well I see that as a weak and negative mindset to gambling. If you are gambling because you have meagre resources and want to earn a living as a gambler, it is a very wrong decision as far as I am concerned because it will end up ruining the person's financial life and well-being. People who have small economy should do less of fun things to make money, since gambling is also a way of catching fun. They should diversify in different businesses to scale up their business opportunities.

But of course a lot of people caught up in this situation, gambling with the intention of making more money. I will say that is wrong and they should have instead think of creative ideas that can even create gambling platform ls or games like you.


Or better still, people can pay more attention into creating the gambling platforms with the intention of making more money through it. Like those creating casino games out there, many of us can come up with much creative platforms and betting games that will interest gamblers thereby making a living from it.

Yes they are leading their life with gambling. But normal people if they want to take gambling as a profession and leave their job then that could be foolish work for them. Because if you  take risk big amount and you faces losses if you are not able to recover it then you suffer a lot. Gambling is not made for everyone. Taking it as a profession it's risky for normal people that can distroy financial condition of a normal people.

This is a common topic that gambling always should take for fun purpose not any others. Those publics who took gambling for another purpose always will suffer. I have lot's of public who took gambling as a sourch of their income those lazy people don't do any others job aan at the end of the day the run away for a big debt.

Yes, but in order to be a streamer you have to be successful. As you say, people who play poker, and I would add sports betting, can take it as a job but today if they start from scratch it's going to take a lot more time and effort than it did 10 years ago. The normal thing is to start learning while doing other activities, such as work or studies, and when you see that you are progressing and earning more money there is a moment when you can consider becoming a professional and dedicate yourself to it. Being a streamer, or influencer, is an addition to the income from the game, because what you earn by broadcasting, making videos or advertising is extra income.

Gambling is not a job and gambling is not a place to make money instantly. It is a big mistake if anyone considers gambling as a solution to financial problems. In most cases, financial problems increase due to gambling addiction which is increasingly difficult to control. I used this topic as an example Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5475744.0). He tried to take back the money he had spent by increasing his bets and daring to take out a loan from the bank just to gamble. In the end, he unconsciously made his life even tighter with the burden of paying off the loan. This story is an illustration for people who consider gambling as a solution that can solve their financial crisis.

"No guarantee." Those are the keywords that define gambling. We play, we take the risk, and we should also be ready to lose at a higher percentage than flipping a coin choosing heads or tails. Gambling doesn't mean it will help us get out of poverty, it could be the other way around if we keep on losing. We may get lucky, that's true for some gamblers but the percentage is so low especially if we are playing casino games.
Now, when it comes to sports betting, there's always a good chance there as long as we know what we are doing. I've seen many successful sports gamblers while others are having trouble because their emotions win more than the analysis. Betting for your favorite team because we are a fan of them should be taken out of the picture especially if that team really sucks at their sport.
Be wise, if we are betting, let's make sure it's a win, if we try and gamble for heavy underdogs then let's make sure that the funds that will be used for that bet would not hurt our financial status.

It is people without job that spend their whole day daily in bet shops gambling in the reliance that their financial misery and  joblessness could be solved by constant efforts on gambling but instead of them achieve it as they had hoped for their condition rather gets perpetually exacerbated from bad to worst.

Getting a paying job irrespective of how small in amount it is and whether because of it size it is shortlived before the month gets to an end yet it's still better than never having a job at all to depending solely on gambling for a save haven for in as much as the winning edge is with the house you are just at their mercy. A job is certain for payment at the end of the week or month but is not so with gambling for it's a game predominantly based on luck/chance.

what I know now is that after the development of technology, there are lots of online gambling advertisements, even influencers who share videos of their big wins, which have now indoctrinated the minds of people who dont gamble to want to gamble with the assumption that "gambling can make big money."
so I would not be surprised if currently the number of gambling addicts in all countries is increasing because they misunderstand how gambling works and only think instantly about the advertisements they see even though the advertisements or videos shared by these influencers are just one example that gambling provides pleasure, not that it means give big money and this is what I mean, that actually I dont blame any party but the fact is that currently many people consider gambling to be a place to make money or make a profit.

anyone must understand this that we must really instill the mindset that gambling is a profitable business for the gambling owner and as a gambler you will never win against the house so that you continue to gamble responsibly considering that gambling is truly a fun place to seek entertainment, not to seek profit.

When everything boils down to luck-based gambling, the answer is of course nothing is certain. Therefore, we need to have financial management so that we can limit which money is for betting and which money is not for betting. As long as you still rely on mixed-up finances, you will certainly be at risk of losing everything without self-control and risk management. Gamblers who come with uncertain conditions, depending on everything on one bet, do not guarantee 100% that they can achieve their goals.

but we cannot lead someone to refrain from gambling regardless of whether their money is stable or not everything is done to seek big wins. Always use healthy management if you want to gamble, even though it is difficult, it is worth trying.

But you can't say that to the majority of beginners who still think that they can earn money by gambling. They are still trapped in the wrong mindset that by gambling they can earn money and change their current conditions for the better. Even more, they have the argument that if they gamble consistently it will be able to get them closer to winning, so they make gambling a daily activity that can give them the opportunity to earn money.

That is what most trying to say , Enjoy gambling and not to take this as a profiteering place but do we really understand this as a gambler or as a non gambler? because this is depending on our perspective in life/
some gambles to have fun but many are gambling to earn money , and as a human this is an instinct that input in our mind even when we start to gamble.
yes we can enjoy but we cannot take the belief that we might go home with huge money , but doing this as a JOB is truly stupidity and will never bring you better result .

When we have the mindset that we're going to solve our financial crisis with gambling, we're doing the wrong thing as we'll regrets when we discover that instead of solving the financial crisis, we're getting ourselves into more crisis. Gambling isn't an activity that you can rely on to make money everyday or everytime that you gamble. Gambling depends on luck and no individual can be lucky every day. Look for other things to do to make money that is very reliable.

Gambling as a means to solve your financial problems will make you gamble more than you can handle and this will make you get addicted which is the worst thing that can happen to an individual as it makes you go out of control to do everything to satisfy your gambling tastes regardless of if you're winning or losing you won't care. All you're after is just to get the feeling that comes from gambling.

The sad thing is that most gamblers assume to win...even if they lose today, they also think there is tomorrow hoping for their luck to come.
Such thinking has a negative impact on our lives as it leads us to gamble more hoping one day we get lucky. Instead, we want to enjoy gambling, we are now in the chase of making money because that is on our mind.

As we can see, only a few gamblers think that gambling is a sort of entertainment while most of us consider this as an opportunity to earn money.

Your ideas about what makes people become addicted to gaming, especially the allure of using gambling to get out of financial trouble, are very smart. People who are having trouble with money often fall into this trap, and your observations about people trying to be like people who have won a lot of money at gaming show how dangerous it can be. It's very important to know that gaming isn't always a good way to solve money problems, as you said. People who gamble should do it with the intention of having fun, learn when to stop, and not always believe they can get back what they've lost. Having your point of view helps to encourage responsible gambling and realistic goals.

Moreover, becoming a streamer isn't that simple; set aside whether or not someone is successful in gambling. There're literally tons of streamers out there; why would anyone watch you? Are you capable of providing something different for your audience, or are you just like anyone else? It's the exact same thing when everyone thought they could suddenly become a YouTube content creator, providing generic content with no diversification.

You can become a professional gambler; does that mean that you should? The majority of us ultimately lose money from gambling; an even smaller percentage would be capable of turning it into a profession; it would require an abundance of time to analyze sports betting because that field is supposedly based on knowledge as well, and even then, there are certainly no guarantees.

I see people here in my place doing the same scenario where in their minds they can bring food and money to their family or whatsoever. They even use the hard earned money they got to just place it in a cockfight that does not guarantee any winnings. They end up miserable and their family just messed up and kids were affected by that. They don't treat gambling something for fun but to have a hope of doubling the hard earned money they got.

It's common in our country Nigeria where you see an normal person dressed up and wore a cloth straight up to the gambling office and of course I have seen even road sidehalkers those who sells Okpa, sachet water and any mores of roadside halkable goods dressed up on corporate selling those things. Seeing someone who dressed up that way won't be something new anymore because it something usual in our country.

The fact I will like people to understand is that people their total dependency in gambling makes me looks as if they are not responsible or even reasoning out of the box. We should learn to start small maybe seek for another job the we could rely on our daily bread from instead of put that fate that one day we make it big from gambling.

If you really care to know that in third world countries where there is high rate of unemployment the jobless youths had resorted to gambling to make ends meet, of course dressing corporately to gambling shop is just a camouflage just to show that they are working, I believe a lot of them are earning decent income from their gambling activities in as much as they are not addicted to it and the fact that they didn't engaged in any crime to earn their income I don't see any thing bad in their gambling activities while in the gambling shops they have the opportunity of sharing tips, analyze games and share ideas all in a bid to win reasonable amount of money to sustain their lives.

Gambling will only become a means to an end or a job when you are the owner of the gambling place or casino or you work as a staff there. But gambling can never be a job if you adjust regular gambler who receives the gambling place or casino or even bets online because you are a customer to these businesses and your loss is what funds their profits. If as a gambler you begin to think of how to make gambling a Source of income you need to first turn it into a business by first investing in opening up a gambling place, platform or a casino. That is the only time that gambling will then become a job to you.

I don't think it's accurate to claim that gambling can never be a job for regular gamblers. There are professional gamblers who make a living through strategic and skilled play, particularly in games like poker. Maybe they don't regularly earn a living on winning bets, but they have sponsors to support them playing the game for entertainmnet. Professional gamblers treat gambling as a serious endeavor, applying strategic approaches, statistical analysis, and risk management to gain an edge. Some individuals have successfully turned gambling into a consistent source of income through careful study, discipline, and dedication to their craft.

Responsible gambling and a deep understanding of the associated risks are crucial for anyone who takes this path. Not everyone can succeed in making gambling a sustainable source of income, and for many, it can lead to financial losses. Therefore, while it's possible for some people to turn gambling into a job, it comes with significant challenges and is not a guaranteed path for everyone.

I am curious to know actually where you are living. :) It looks like the whole community around is gambling-addicted which is very harmful to society. is gambling regulated there by the government?

If it's ongoing the new generation around you will be highly affected. They should change themselves asap.

You don't know that they're making money with their gambling just because they've got a suit and they wear it everyday and that they're skipping work because they wanted to spend their day gambling. The problem with the third world countries is the fact that most of their problems can easily be solved if they elected the right officials to manage the country and not steal their taxes to make themselves richer. You're not seeing or you're ignorant on the implications of being a gambler for the long term? That's the only reason why someone can't see why these people aren't damaging themselves and the people around them.

If only people have known this knowledge and what gambling should be when they're introduced to it, I feel like if it did happen, we would probably see less poor people putting their hard earned money to those risky machines that will never give them any wins in their lifetime no matter how much they try. Not taking it as a job should be a common sense though, I feel like if you're someone that uses gambling as a means to get a steady money, you're wasting your time and you're just an addict that's in denial.

Gambling is not a way to make money but gambling is just a means to get pleasure by playing lots of gambling games. But if you can't limit yourself to gambling, you will lose a lot of money without being able to recover the money because that is the reality of what happened. We can only gamble for fun, and although we can win, it won't happen too often, and that is why we can only use gambling for fun.

And if they intend to use gambling as a job, it will cause them to lose a lot of money and we don't know what else can happen to them because once they gamble excessively, they will find it difficult to reduce their gambling activities. They really have to limit their gambling activities if they don't want to experience a lot of problems from gambling. That is why we always remind people to limit their gambling activities and always maintain self-control so they don't gamble excessively.

that's what often happens, many of them lose today and come back tomorrow to try their luck again, with the hope that they have that it will make them addicted to gambling, and indeed with their hopes like that is the road to addiction not to make a profit, because you shouldn't make a profit or make gambling a permanent job, because in my opinion gambling has a 90/10 percentage where the value of losing is higher than winning.

It is very wrong to think of gambling as making money, even though there are wins that can be obtained, it is impossible to last long, I mean it is impossible for someone to continue to win continuously.  and what you say is true, it is rare for people to consider gambling as entertainment because many people gamble with the aim of making a profit, but at first glance I thought  what pleasure do they feel? Do they also enjoy losing by losing? because before losing of course there may be a sensation that you feel and get but even so I think that because they consider gambling as entertainment if they lose it seems like they will feel at least a little annoyed or disappointed. but I don't know I'm not a fortune teller. ;D

Gambling as a financial solution can be risky, I've considered. The house usually triumphs in this world of stacked odds. My friends have thought they could beat the system and ended up worse off financially. Learning this painful lesson is crucial

Gamble to enjoy, not to win. Gamble with what you can afford to lose and remember it's entertainment, I always tell friends. Red flags appear when it stops being fun and becomes necessary. Self-awareness and boundaries are crucial. As crucial as playing is knowing when to stop. Betting should be a hobby, not a last resort. It's still a game, not a risk to life

In my country, we call it "Packaging," and if you must know, Packaging is real, and it exists in gambling too and I have heard stories about those guys doing it myself. About them, I do not see so much fault here if it is working for them, they choose to wear good clothes like their friends and other neighbours in a free world whom they might be envying. I see nothing bad here as anyone can dress anyhow they want, just don't look bad. What could be an issue which will also define them as so foolish is when they are dressing like that upon nothing, that's if they are losing all the time and still faking it dressing like that to casino house, then that is rather a shame on them. But if these guys are good with what they do at the casinos house, why not?

After all, there are some people that are being called "career gamblers," if it is true and is working for them, they might want to build their career around it too. Although I do not support such in the strongest terms possible, this is because I am certain that no matter the beliefs you have in casinos, you cannot have 100% accuracy on it. It might be the time that you are in serious dire need of money that things will go awkward with your gambling. Those who are wise though, might continue to diversify by having other income sources in addition to gambling, that's even if they started with gambling to make everything work fine for them and not solely depend on gambling which could make anyone look so irresponsible  as it could fail them and cause their living and that of their dependents to be hellish if care is not taken

or it could only be a solution to few of us. OP says don't treat it as a job, if I'm making a profit in gambling, I would not call it as a job but a business. When  you are in a job, the view in terms of income is very limited, but when you are in business, you will be more aggressive and with limitless income. But let's get real, right? Most of us fail in fuflling our goal to make consistent money in gambling, so if we experience that or part of the many, let's not force the issue, we should still go with our limit.


This is actually wrong, when you gamble, in order to enjoy you need to win. The keyword here is "discipline". yes, you need to be discipline so you'll not lose more than you can afford to lose, but never eliminate the reason why you are gambling, which is to win.

       -  We can't take that away from other people if they think of gambling as a job, especially if it gives them a profit through what they win in casino gambling. But the question is, is it possible for a gambler to always win in a casino?

So it's better that we shouldn't have high expectations when we play gambling; it's better that we just enjoy it and just do it as entertainment, and as some say, it's really just a bonus if we win here.

Young people always think anything that promises money is work. Not surprised to read the funny line, where Op described this type of gamblers as working-class men who dress up early in the morning to escape traffic. Such gamblers may have won some funds while gambling, hence since it puts a food on their table they can do some more and earn bigger amount. However, while the gambler undergoes a daily routine gambling his brain begin to adjust to his action and soon, he wouldn't go a day without dressing up to go gamble. Even when he's got no funds, you'd notice him going to the gambling house, just to seat and chat with friends. As they tend to meet other gamblers like themselves who visits the place regularly. At same time gambling could be fun and a job to such people

No gambler should think that you can turn gambling into a job, it's not going to work and it's a big trap and a big lie coming from people from gamblers who encourage you to gamble because you can make money gambling.

Gambling is not the answer to financial crisis looking for a job is the answer, gambling should be placed in the right perspective and that is treating it as a form of entertainment.

Even if there's a big temptation to treat it as a way to make money, new gamblers should not believe what other gamblers are saying about gambling they are quick to announce or post their winnings and have not computed their overall losses, which if you computed is not even half of their winnings

The only way I would turn sportsbetting into a job, is if you actually have an edge over thousands of games. If you can be profitable over thousands of wagers, then it would make sense that you would focus on it and make a run for it.

even though we try our best to think of gambling as a means of entertainment, there will still be a feeling or ambition to win the bet or game. I'm sure you have feelings like that when you gamble.
whether it is done as a job or not is up to the gambler himself. those who can assess their abilities and also their financial capabilities. Gamblers who consider gambling as a job may be those who feel they have a talent for gambling on certain games. They should have realized that it was luck, but maybe they thought it was too much.

Every beginner will definitely feel this disease having high expectations of big wins and also getting jackpots in gambling, so it's not surprising that there are still beginners like that because one of the factors is that most of them see streamers and influencers who collaborate with gambling sites broadcasting and displays short video footage about their big wins as well as the jackpots they get, thus luring new users to try it and get it. but the reality is more bitter than what they think.

But their lack of knowledge about gambling makes it natural because of their ignorance. Except for gamblers who already know and are experienced but still think playing gambling to make money I think will look strange, even though in reality they always lose more than they win. , that's what they should realize that gambling is not a job that makes money, it should be a fun pastime. It's rare for gamblers to truly enjoy their game

understand Louie says, and that is not bad, if one playing soccer or doing any type of sport can achieve many things, it is obvious that in a place like a casino you can also have your own camaraderie, that is something we always have to consider. If you reach that level then everything is fine, things in a casino look very good, because everyone shares the same passion and can advise each other, they can have a pleasant moment, but they always maintain good control , things in the casinos are very delicate, it seems that when it comes to doing anything it is considered that a person has to take care of himself, that is why my advice will always be that you should handle things well, money is always good to count, see how much we can have to spend, Be very intelligent, we should move forward, that is, not let ourselves be won by the system before playing, if we have money ready to lose and we respect that, I think we will play more, we will have fun and we will have Open Options to win.

In every casino like this, let's say no, its purpose is to Entertain the people and make them enjoy themselves, the second thing is that in the casinos, the deuñeos, always win, and they are based on the famous phrase that the house always wins , and that is Obviously , the casino has its way of Winning and making profits, it is a business, at the end of the day we are Opposed to Seeing that it is a big company that has to have a lot of profits, there is no doubt about that, so we as players who are fighting Against that advantage we only need some luck to take Advantage of every time you win , that's why I Continue , if you have a good win, then you have to withdraw , if you leave it in the Casino you lose, or if we Start to think That we are very lucky or we chase previous losses, that is bad because we also lose, and it is better to always be well , and always generate profits , is what we Seek.

We cannot stop people from thinking that there is money in gambling because of the videos they see on YouTube about streamers, and promotions by social media influencers who think it's easy to make money from gambling, only to find out that it's not the case.
If you want to make money from gambling the only way is to be part of the gambling platform, other than you're wasting money and time if you're bettors because bettors or users have a low chance to make money from gambling.

It seems that it is no longer a common secret in society that there are some people who gamble as a part-time job and some even make it their main source of income because they don't have any work, they use gambling as a job and think they can get money easily without having to waste their energy, whereas gamblers only needs to sit back and relax while predicting their bets and hope that their predictions are correct and they can win so that their money can double. .

In fact, making gambling as a job is a big mistake because gambling is full of the risk of losing and for those who consider gambling as a job. It is a reckless act because gambling is actually only used as a medium of entertainment, not as a permanent job because there is no guarantee of winning bets consistently. The more you think about winning you will only experience disappointment with the results.

Every gambler has their own mindset and beliefs regarding everything they see so any efforts in understanding influencers or others who broadcast gambling sessions can only be changed by the gambler himself.
We may be able to understand it and want other people to have the same understanding, but we may not be able to make other people want and be able to do the same as we hope.
There is desire to be able to help but it is not as easy as we imagine and of course we can only provide suggestions and input.

You are right that the only way to make money from gambling and be free from risk is to become part of the gambling site itself and of course that way we can make money more securely.
There is no way of gambling that can actually make money and if you only win then the winnings are still not comparable to the losses that occur so we have to use gambling only as means of having fun.

In fact, people who look to gambling as a way to solve financial problems rather than for entertainment become addicted to gambling. Gambling should always be considered as entertainment and not as a means of earning money. There are many gamblers in my area who have taken this gambling as a means of earning money and in return they have suffered so much that they have not yet recovered. They work as daily wage workers and take part in gambling with the money from that work. They think that they can win a huge amount of money and raise the family in a better place. I think all these ideas that gamblers have are that they will never improve they will always destroy themselves. Keep yourself safe while gambling Never get addicted to gambling.

The fun fact is like that. When there are lots of reviews or advertisements or videos about jackpots and big wins from other people, most irrational people will consider and use gambling as a shortcut to getting rich/getting big profits. For rich people or those who have a lot of money, gambling may be fun and it doesn't matter if the money they use decreases because they still have lots of assets to have fun with. This is different from the poor who have been wrong from the start about gambling, so it is normal and this will not just go away and people will continue to appear who think that gambling is a job and a place to make money.

The most misleading thing is when there are people who think that through gambling their financial problems will be resolved and not only that, there are also people who think that one way to get rich is by gambling, so I also often see around me how people with low incomes always have the desire to buy the lottery, the value is not much, but if you do it regularly throughout the year it is quite big, they are even more willing to reduce their food rations so they can have a chance of winning the lottery.
In my opinion, gambling that is carried out without common sense that's bad, but as long as the gambler understands the risks and dangers of continuing to gamble without limits then it will be fine, and although there are people who can get rich from gambling, the case is only slightly more numerous went bankrupt because he gambled without limits and responsibility.

For you maybe. But, not all are the same mate. There really gamblers who play only for fun, especially if they are already rich. There is no point for them on making more money and they are wise guys. When they want to make more money, they know that they shouldn't do it inside a casino because their chance is only slim. Losing is not fun yes, but will you ever mind it? Why not treat that the money we pay is for us to play their games?

The fun part is in the process and not really in the outcome. If we are having fun, we will do what it takes. No amount can ever measure that. Also when you are gambling, counting losses is a worst idea and it's being frowned upon.

Everyone's perception will be different about gambling for fun, for people who have stable finances and make money by working will think that gambling for fun is nonsense, this view will be different for people who make money not difficult such as entrepreneurs, because they there is no need to work hard to earn money so they think that every pleasure must be paid

Those pro gamblers can still make money even if they don't make it to the top 10. They have nothing to worry about. But what about us? We don't have such kind of sponsorships, so we should be careful if we are playing gambling and better not treat it like a job, to earn daily profits. I know how gambling works and on the game that I play, I already know their max win there or how much I would cash out once I hit them, but that does not stop me from playing there.

This is because I only play for fun. I still enjoy my stay there, compared to those others who promise to pay a little better because the down side on them is you can rarely see a small win.

On the time that you do into that point on which thinking that gambling is something that you would really be that be making that easy money or making it as a source of income or job
then you would definitely be putting up yourself on such condition or situation on which you would really be busting up yourself and ends up miserable when it comes to finances.
Why? There's no such thing about easy wins or constant wins even if we do speak about betting and card games. Its not something that could sustain living, well there might be some
individuals who could be able to do so but only a very few could be able to handle it out, this is why if you do pursue up on this way then most likely you do end
up on failure.

Seeing gambling as an escape means to solving your financial needs is even doing yourself more harm than good because you may end up loosing even the little you have with which you could have started already to fixing your problems but then the greed of wanting to get more or doubling the little you have can cost you all that you have got.

Getting a job so you will be able to find your gambling habit is as good as doing a free job for the casino. You are supposed to rather use your money you earned from your job to take care of yourself and later hope to use the remaining which you can spare to gamble and if you get lucky you get to double up your funds and get an extra fund for your sef to meet up with other needs, but approaching the casino with all your needs will definitely get you to loosing all your funds to the casino.

Exactly the truth is mate.

Like what in the other thread that we come to read last year(i cannot find the thread now but the answer is almost the same) that there are no one who
truly Enjoy losing , even those entrepreneurs that has making money in their business once they are in gambling it is the Winning
that they are seeking(only fool that will bet His money and can just leave the table without checking if His money won .

It is easy to talk about these and that in gambling but the truth is we really don't know what we are talking
as we did not experience such instead we are just talking about our opinions and this opinions are welcome but that does not stand about completely correct
not unless we have putted our feet in their shoes .

Good statement, basically everything the OP said is a fact that really happens, however gambling is not a place to earn, this is nothing more than an entertainment activity or like a playground that involves risk and there is no certainty and guarantee of any victory at the end of the session, everything there goes randomly, hence this is why we should not put any goals in gambling because there is absolutely no certainty as I said above.

For people who end up with addiction consciously and unconsciously are those who have the wrong point of view and understanding of gambling, I often see this mindset in someone who has a financially underprivileged background so when he hears that someone else or one of his friends managed to get a big win then obviously this is a motivation for him to get involved with the aim of getting the same results to fix his financial crisis which in the end the actual fact is just the opposite, instead of fixing the financial crisis but instead makes them suffer even more because of losing some money. For the typical gambler who is always chasing victory, they usually do not have the ability to accept defeat because it is not their goal and they intend to take revenge or chase victory to restore what they have lost and this is the cycle of addiction that can come consciously and unconsciously. In gambling, it doesn't matter if you are rich, if you get involved based on the wrong understanding then obviously you will end up in a slump.

That is a marker strategy and a company makes use of its money to hire influencers to grab attention and make a play of its hype.
It was okay for rich people to fall into this activity but the concern here is for the poor people who usually fall into addiction and compromise their financial stability and sometimes, a reason for loans and crimes.

It was really hard to educate people on how gambling works because they also have different views and they keep insisting that luck will come and that is their money.

Even in losses, some still take it as fun and it helps them to maintain such if they are not risking too high in such a way that will hurt them when they lose. There are many games one can plan and the money to wager can be so ridiculously low in many of them especially if the bettor is using his local currency to bet it, so you just open your betting platform, go to your favourite casino and do the betting. You then continue to bet and laugh at both the lost and won games even as you continue to repeat the process until you are tired. But for those who would have $300 in the account for instance and bet all at once on all of the money, aside from the fact that they are not wise, they are still never going to enjoy the fun part even if they wanted to because that is foolishness as they didn't plan a good budget and have allowed greed of making money in a big form to cloud their judgement already.

You can also see that you do not have to be rich before you derive the fun in gambling, all is about the right planning and balanced psychology. Sadly, most people go to casinos with the mind of money-making and they want to make it really big, that is why they will never make the money but lose instead and continue to get hurt due to it and will in turn always view casinos as no fun and dangerous place.

Thinking of gambling as a place to earn income is certainly a wrong understanding if we think about it that way, because it is very difficult to be able to win consecutively in the gambling that we play and in my opinion, what we often get from the gambling that I play is that I often experience defeat from the gambling that I play. and can win occasionally but more often experience losses in gambling.

Using a fund limit for gambling can prevent us from becoming addicted to gambling and if we can do this, it would be better for us to set an amount of money for gambling and not take the other money when we lose and can take the winnings if we have got them, because if we can't do it So of course we will spend more of the money we have on gambling than on other needs.

After reading this first part of the text, I remembered one of my neighbors who was having serious issue with his wife just because of a similar case. The whole thing was really funny too, the man is jobless and tend to put all his hopes on him securing a miraculous win from playing of bets so every morning he would dress up and even go wait for this particular betting shop that's close to me and I would wonder why would a man this big and handsome be doing here every morning and I later found out that he is into betting as a professional and his wife actually thinks he is working and everyday he would play or if he doesn't have money he will wait and beg from others playing so that they can borrow him and he would play too.

Because gambling is a hobby, you can gamble whenever you like or whenever you want, it's not something you're forced to do it or have a regular schedule to gamble. To win in gambling is become a responsible gambler, that means you're mature enough to understand that gambling won't make money and you're fine with that. If you can stop to gamble completely, you're just not a gambler at all, but it's fine since not everyone must become a gambler.

I know many proffesional gamblers that are gambling full-time to make a income and some of them are very succesful.

You get proffesional Poker players and even pro sportbetting, where people do this as a full-time job.

Some gambling require skill and also knowledge and if you mastered that, then there are no reason why you cannot do that as a full-time job.

A lot of people started doing something as a hobby or just for fun, but at some time they did so well.. that they ditched their job and then made their hobby their full-time job.

Yes, what you say is correct, it's just that I need to correct it a little, maybe we've heard almost in several threads on this forum that we should gamble for fun, not just to make money, I also always emphasize that to every beginner, what I mean is It's all about mindset so it's not because we are rich gamblers or we are poor gamblers, we just use the mindset that is usually used by the rich gamblers you mean.

Every gambler will behave according to his thoughts, that's why our mindset must be like that of rich people, considering that gambling is just entertainment to have fun, so when we lose, we will think of it as something normal, even though I know we are poor gamblers, but don't If you ever use a mindset like a poor person, gambling for money and chasing wins or even jackpots, we won't really enjoy the game. Why is a mindset like a rich person useful because in my opinion it is an effective way to prevent yourself from getting addicted to gambling. if you don't want to  ;D

It should be like that for those who can use gambling as entertainment. But when they use gambling as a hobby, it will be difficult for them because they have to use more money. We know that activities that are used as hobbies can require us to spend more money. They shouldn't gamble at all to avoid losing more money. It will also prevent them from the gambling addiction that many gamblers experience. If they can stop gambling, they can save their money and will not experience the disappointment of losing at gambling.

Yes, that's the reality. And this will never change. This strategy will continue and there will even be several developments. There will not be a big win for everyone, but it will only be available to some people. If everyone took gambling seriously and was a way to get rich then everyone would be rich, in fact only a few people would be able to get the big jackpot. This indicates that there is something or a risk that should be used as a warning that gambling is not a way to get rich and is not a job.

The problem is that even people with good economy start gambling for pleasure but soon after they get sucked into lost sessions one after another which leads them too in a gambling addiction.There is nothing different,even though different type of persons start gambling for different reasons the end result is the same,both categories in the end are prone to gambling addiction,some a bit more some a bit less,in the end both categories have this risk.

1.Thinking that you could solve your financial crisis via gambling is plain stupid. There's no research about the subject, but I think that most of the gamblers aren't particularly smart.
2.You have to distinguish sports betting from the casino gambling. Some punters are making decent money out of sports betting. I have never seen anyone making consistent money out of playing roulette, slots, dice, etc. I know that sports betting and casinos are falling under the same category(gambling), but casinos are the way more about "hardcore gambling".
3."Just gamble for fun" is easier said than done. Nobody can deny that gambling is fun, but the fun part is what gets you addicted.
If gambling wasn't fun, nobody would get addicted.

Everyone is of concern in this, because anybody could be a victim; rich or poor. Battling with a problem is not cool for the human brain and behavior. It's necessary for gamblers to understand that their status doesn't change the problem. A rich person can get addicted and divorce his productivity at work. Wouldn't it affect his wealth on the long run? it's not certain if all the rich people would be able to struggle out of addiction successfully. Money can do everything, but we all need time to heal. Without time nobody gets better or worse on what they do. Since gamblers need time to adjust and understand gambling, a naive rich player can get himself into trouble during the early stages. Given time he'd begin to get better or worse.

I am wondering why they would stress themselves up, dressing up every morning just to pretend as if they are going to work only to land in a casino, why can't they stay indoor and do their thing online? When I started my online business years ago, many people start gossiping around that I am jobless, I don't mind them and today they are the one who are jobless, the situation of the country suddenly changed and they are making too less to none.

Online jobs are better than offline jobs, and in the near future everyone will have to submit to this, the best skills that make the most money are online based, anyway.

Many people don't know anything about gambling, they just see someone who won a lot of money and they decide to give their shot too, nothing bad here though but they proceeded in a very bad way, resulting into losing all their money, seeking for knowledge first is what many people don't respect and they pay the price the hardest ways.

And they should be able to think of gambling as something for fun and never think of it as work. By doing it like that, they will not use gambling to make money because that would be very difficult. For this reason, those who are still trying to make money from gambling should be able to realize that their chances are not great and they should make money from work. It will be more promising for them to make money. And if they can do more than one job, they can make even more money.

And if there are still people who still want to try it, they should look at or read the experiences of other people who have done it. They will see how other people who try to use gambling as a job end up. Their lives were shattered, their families also felt the impact, and some ended their lives because they were unable to accept the consequences of gambling. Many even experience gambling addiction.

Of course it will also be difficult to understand gambling. If it were easy, I'm sure there would be lots of people who would become rich by gambling. Of course the gambling provider has updates and always changes the probabilities all the time to make gambling more interesting and fair. And not everyone will understand each of these changes, they need to adapt again and observe again so that the chances of winning are higher than losing. Again and again, rich and poor will remain the same, except for the expert gambler.

These influencers help the company get the attention of a certain desired customer base because there are some persons who will literally sign up on a gambling site because they see a certain influencer promoting such site but then they would have signed up but for the influencer whose influence means a whole lot of trust for them.

For people who are really bent on their beliefs and trust or faith in gambling it's really hard to convince them otherwise because they already have so much believe and trust in the fact that they are definitely going to win their bet one day and for them that's all that matters until they probably loose so much that they are almost not able to recover again then they will then have a second taught about their gambling habit because some of them actually know too well that there's an adverse effects to that which they are doing with gambling.

I think on the other hand the real fact is that gambling is not a place for anyone to get rich, but most of the gamblers carry this goal, they want instant wealth in gambling and this is wrong, there is absolutely no correct understanding of what gambling really is. In my opinion, understanding gambling will in no way affect your success in being able to get a lot of winnings, but this understanding is only intended to keep you safe and not experience many adverse effects from your wrong gambling activities.

As you understand that gambling is a game of probability exactly as you said and by understanding that it means that there is absolutely no certainty and guarantee of any victory, the fact is that no matter how good you are, if you are involved as a player then obviously there will only be two answers in the final result between winning or losing, so try not to put any hope in gambling especially assuming to achieve wealth, it is nothing more than a ridiculous idea I think. On the other hand you must understand that in gambling the winning percentage will always be much lower than losing and this is also the reason why more gamblers lose than win, because after all this is a business for casinos to make profits from losing gamblers, and I would say that you can get a higher chance of winning until you can reach wealth then you have to become a bookie yourself and own a casino, this makes more sense.

I think it's quite important to remember that we are talking about people who do it online too, but just as a way of making money. I know plenty of people who do that for sports betting for example, there are a lot of people who end up with betting and winning some money and they act like that's quite easy and doable but in reality it is not, it is not going to end up with something that will get better.

I hope that we can realize that not all humans are same, and some people who are addicted to gambling could fail to leave. You may end up getting some win here and there, which could make you feel like you could do that, and if they hate their job as well, then they will try to turn that betting into some sort of job.

Are you a gambler? Have you ever felt like you got the jackpot?

If you are not one of the above then I see your topic is actually not very useful, many people gamble for their entertainment and also to double their money (this is the wrong goal) but making gambling their main job I think is really crazy, when you gamble, there is the dopamine hormone at play and that is what makes gamblers very entertained when playing, gambling is not a bad activity, but the goals of each player are often bad and ultimately make him lose money when gambling.

Actually there are really those people who do able to make money with sports betting on which i could say that it is really that more probable comparing into those people who do believe that casino games are way more better. It is really just that there were people who are really that believing into things which arent supposed to believed on or simply they are really that just that too optimistic until they would really be able to bust up themselves. Actually there were really those gamblers who do able to make a living with gambling, it is really just that only a few could really be able to do such thing and most of those people who do try
did really bust up themselves just because of overdoing it or simply just dealing with those luck based games.

We do know that when it comes on sustaining then i do believe that sports betting and card games could really be having that chance comparing into those casino games.
You would be able to sustain yourself if you have developed your skills and experience and a mix of luck then you could sustain but not all
do really become successful on this one.

That's right, don't make gambling a job because it really shouldn't be done. I don't know why most of the gamblers actually make it a job, is it because it's easy money in gambling or is it really just an addiction. You can't say it's easy money in gambling because you don't win every day, you don't get lucky every day. Gambling can be used as a pastime because that's what it should be.

Seeing gambling as a major source of income is one of the easiest means of getting addicted, which is one of the mistakes many gamblers today make. Sometimes having a major job that gives you one income and keeps you busy all the time is a good way to avoid getting addicted to gambling.
 
But when one doesn't have a stable job that gives them income but rather chooses gambling earning over a good-paying job, that's when they start betting with desperation because their means of survival depends on it, and all of that, if they don't win a day, they end up going to bet hungry.

It'll be enjoyable when you're on the winning side. The same turns away when your win goes away. So, it is always good to consider gambling as fun and not as a means of making money. Always have your limits and enjoy gambling if your lucky to win something out of it. Don't follow your wager to recover what you've lost or do get greedy just because you were able to book some profit.

Influencers are paid by companies that own casinos to promote gambling, and usually influencers who have lots of followers will easily attract lots of customers to register at the casino, because usually fanatical followers always follow whatever the influencer does, so it's not surprising if gambling site carries out promotions through influencers because they believe that their gambling site will become famous quickly, especially if it is lured by the winnings obtained by the influencers, it will definitely make people more interested even though the winnings are not real and are just manipulation.

Indeed, some people believe that one day they will win the jackpot, therefore they don't give up on gambling and continue to do it until the money is completely gone and it makes them want to chase the losses they experience even more because he's addicted. If it's like this, of course they are gambling not aims to have fun but only makes misery for the gambler himself.

Yes, that's how gambling is, if someone wins then he will feel happy and if he loses he will regret and feel sad. If the winnings are not used properly to invest or save, instead they are used again for gambling with the aim of increasing the winnings again, then he will experience the risk impact of gambling, namely losing a lot of money and big losses, instead. want it. to enjoy victory by having fun, it would be a downturn. what he will get. Therefore, it is not good to gamble greedily, it is better to accept winnings even if it is only a little and if you lose then stopping for a while would be better.

It's fun if we win but unfortunately, we will experience defeat more often so it won't be fun but will bring disappointment and sadness. We should be able to think of gambling as entertainment and not gamble excessively so that we don't lose too much. But people don't realize this and instead gamble more and more often so they experience more and more losses. And we must indeed have limits when playing gambling so that we do not forget to determine when we should stop gambling. This is to prevent us from experiencing a lot of losses and can also prevent greed from arising bigger and more often.

Taking gambling too serious is a bad idea and has a negative influence on the gambler himself. Gambling is definitely not a job that someone would take so serious to the extent he wakes up in the morning, dresses up and the off to the casino like an office.

Gambling is supposed to be a fun activity done possibly during leisure. so when someone takes it too serious they could end up being an addict who just can't help but gamble even when he is not supposed to.

Sometimes gambling addictions rise up as a result of dependence on gambling as a source of income or livelihood. That is the reason people are advised to gamble responsibly.

I think that was pretty biased. Rich people are still people too like us. And even if they are already rich, it is still possible for them to get addicted in gambling and lose all of their money. There are lots of cases like this already, not only limited to gambling addiction. For those who have a different view in gambling than us, I guess we can't do much about them.

Just let them go on their own and they will surely regret later on, once everything is gone on them. Yes, it's true that luck will come but it can only come rarely, most especially if their aim is the huge jackpot and the higher/highest multiplier in game. So, I wouldn't really hope for it and play at all times because I can surely lose more money in the process.

As simple phrase this sound, 90% of gamblers here including me don't gamble for fun, maybe there is fun in the process but money is my motivation for gambling, if there is anything about fun then I know another place to have it and not from gambling. I know what some people will be thinking but hey! That's the reality many of us don't want to talk about, people gamble to make money and not because of the fun but it's bad when you use it as a source of income, I don't indulge in that because it's even foolish to have that thought.

Gambling is not a source of income but people that lack work and doesn't have job do it to sustain the financial pressure until things align back to normal. These guys are good in some way and naturally win from betting, what I even learn about them is that they don't bet on football as many sporybettors do, they bet on other less attention sports that people overlook, it's help their consistency in winning. It's hard to copy them though even when I tried because I don't understand the games the  play and I can't blindly follow what others are doing but they make money from it anyways.

That's normal experience, but then again it's 50/50, as gamblers we want to win like every session that we will get ourselves to. But we all know that's not the case, most of the times luck will not be on our side and so we are going to lose and its going to be ugly and we don't want that feeling. Besides the emotional impact, this thread is also about how everyone should look at gambling, as it is not a means to and end. It can't give us winnings, and not a guarantee to bring food in the table for our families. So the OP is right, if we gamble, just have fun and don't treat it as something like a job because it's not, it's very unpredictable, as outcomes are influenced by chance, luck, and randomness.

Yes, I will not deny that because this also happens in real life, I also have a very rich neighbor but he was addicted to gambling and eventually fell into poverty. From this story, it is important for us to continue to keep our minds sane and not lose our thoughts and control due to the deception of the game.

As there isn’t a solid guarantee for someone to have a win whenever they gamble, one should be careful and aware of the amount of money being spent on the activity.
The number of people who take gambling as a means of making an income is frightening and should be a cause for worry. Wins are not consistent in gambling, hence the idea of gambling as a means of earning an income is not  viable.

Asides, a good majority of the people who take gambling as a means of making an income would at a point, slowly fall into addiction. Gambling is not a job opportunity. Wins in gambling, if any isn’t consistent compared to a paycheck earned from a regular job.

Some people really make gambling a job and there is nothing we can do about it, I'm sure they know within themselves that gambling shouldn't be a job but they do it because maybe they're addicted to it or maybe that's just what they think is the way to go it's easy to make money in gambling. It's not easy to get money from gambling for me but I don't know about others because many people do this, maybe for them it's easy to earn money from gambling.

only a small percentage use gambling as their main job and are successful. Most of those who try like that end up failing and losing their finances, which leads to crisis and frustration.
Remaining ready to lose money is a determining factor in gambling games. As long as you can't manage your finances well, you should not use gambling as a place to earn a fortune. because gambling only relies on luck.
