Title: Proverbs and Sayings that Act as Triggers to Gambling
Post by: Davidvictorson on February 01, 2024, 11:51:51 AM
Just as we have expressed our concerns about certain gambling advertisements serving as potential triggers, I have observed and I think that there are gambling proverbs or quotes can also play a role in influencing individuals. Look at this Chinese proverb, "If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are." From this proverb, it can spur a regular person to explore gambling as a means to test their luck and become hooked. Also, the person who has been gambling will want to continue gambling while being hopeful that someday they would eventually be lucky and hit the jackpot.

What other proverbs or sayings could potentially act as triggers, enticing individuals to initiate or perpetuate their gambling activities?

"If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are."
I am not a Chinese and also not living in China, but did you think this proverb is talking directly about gambling? Or is talking about how risky life is and that life is more like we are gambling.

In gambling of today which are bookies and casinos, bookies know how to use odds to gain from their users, while casinos have the house edge. I do not think the proverb applies to gamblers because the provide may be the other way around for many gamblers.

My own proverb is 'if you are gambling with just little amount of money that you can afford to lose, you do not know how lucky you are'.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but that proverb you included in your post does not actually sound like something that will incite someone into gambling.

It sounds more like a motivation for someone to try something out
 – it’s same as saying “if you don’t try, you’ll never win” or “he who refuses to participate will never know what success feels like” or “no risk no gain” they all have similar meaning but they don’t in actual sense incite anyone to engage in gambling, it could be something entirely different like going for a new trade or transitioning into a new niche. The fact that it has “gambling” in it does not automatically means it will entice individuals to engage in sport betting or slots.

You could take it as something different the same way I took it to be something entirely different from the Op.

Your story is funny, so without gambling, they can't know their luck gauge? That is unthinkable to me. I am sure that they will be disappointed if the most fortunate person among them is the most unlucky in gambling. What they are trying to get doesn't just correlate to gambling or how to know the luck fate of a person, they should rather focus on what is important and shun a myth like this.

Luck is an expression and because you are lucky today doesn't mean that you are better, and luck as it is doesn't work the same way all the time or be always available to people who even had it initially. Time changes, and so are actions and reactions that we can see and the ones we can't see. Anyone who wants to be lucky in life should learn, act and pray. If it is in gambling, such should only try to gain experience and good technical know-how but never believe that anything can be 100% certain no matter how promising it is to them.

Also about your question, I don't think I am a fan of many myths that do not relate well. The only viable one I know is that "If you don't take a risk, you can't gain." This, I believe is practical enough.

When you started gambling, where you thinking about the odds or about how lucky you could get and win? People who starts gambling don't even start out with the gambling terminology "odd", "house-edge". For them they just want to win. They only start knowing about odds and house-edge after some months of consistently gambling.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but that proverb you included in your post does not actually sound like something that will incite someone into gambling.
It sounds more like a motivation for someone to try something out
I am not saying you are wrong but what I want to say that if the proverb meant it as a motivation, then the word gamble should be replaced with risk. Like this, If you don’t take risks or risk anything, you won’t know how lucky you are."

I don't know any proverb or popular saying that backs up gambling or support gambling but there are some that could mean otherwise but uses gambling as the phrase. Just say this statement you mentioned from the Chinese from my perspective it could literally mean something else but has the tune of gambling.

Like this popular proverb " life is a game, play it" it doesn't really mean life is a game but it's used to express some things that may not be understandable in other words thats my view of the Chinese saying.

I don't know what's the main point about those proverbs but for sure they just create that word just to make curious people to gamble for more since as I know gambling is one of famous business what Chinese have and maybe they are just trying to influence those people who can read those words so that they can explore more and think about continue on what they do since there are better rewards will come with them if they are a consistent gamblers.

But if we really look at the real situation in the scene and we know that to win in gambling needs extreme luck especially if we are betting on luck based games then also try to hit the jackpot prize set by the casino.

I never heard any words same like that or maybe I just don't care about statement that I think not helpful for me.

I don't follow any proverbs or saying about gambling, some of them were created to promote gambling platforms to entice people to gamble or continue to gamble, I prefer to follow my wisdom or people who are experienced in gambling, if you want to be a responsible gambler don't take saying or advice that encourages gambling.
One of the proverbs I stumble that openly encourages gambling is this one that one local gambling establishment in our area promotes in their wall.

It's the first time I heard that there's a gambling proverb that acts as a trigger stuff to gamble. Am I understanding it right?

Anyway, I don't think that any of these gambling proverbs are a big deal to most gamblers.

Or might be at some regions where gambling is seen as traditional, these proverbs might playing a big role in terms of influence.

I think maybe that Chinese proverb is what makes a lot of gamblers there, I'm not Chinese but I often watch films about gambling, the god of gambling in China, but I don't believe that this proverb can actually make people want to gamble and hope for luck, let alone a jackpot. Most of the gamblers I see today are more identical because they see advertising poster boards displaying tempting bonuses or see streamers and influencers displaying their big money and jackpot wins so that people are interested in wanting to try it.

But I don't know that this proverb applies in China or perhaps some people there still believe in proverbs like that. I'm sure that in general a proverb like that will not provoke people to have the desire to gamble because most of them prefer to see other gamblers happy. and get rich because of winnings at gambling which are actually fake, but maybe there are some who are still obsessed with sayings or proverbs but they don't fully work optimally to encourage people to gamble.

I don't believe that proverb is used in gambling but more like in life.
Gambling doesn't always mean it's about making a bet. It's also about having the courage to take the risk. I think you got that all wrong and most proverbs today are being used that way. In bad terms.
I only believe that wealth from gambling can easily be misused and I think it's it's true. What comes from an easy way will always be used without thinking ahead unlike the wealth that comes from hard work.
This is why most gamblers who deposit big amounts from all their hard-earned money can easily get stressed out when they lose. Simply because they did not pick that money from the streets, it's money that had been worked for and it ain't easy.
But that type of belief is not a trigger to gamble more, it's a good statement that says we should take care of the money that we worked hard for and not just waste it in gambling.
We can entertain ourselves with small amounts, let it stay that way and don't cross the line of adding more if we lose because that's mostly the end game in gambling. Losing.

What I know about gambling quote is that majority of them talk about life existence and comparing it with gambling. People say that the life you are living is like also gambling. They say some people don't want to do risky jobs that is life threatening because they don't want to jeopardize their lives but that they can also die just by sleeping, by exercising, fighting or accidentally. It has been compared to taking risk, most gamblers see it as a risk that they take and that they are wiser by taking risk than someone who does not gamble. So life is a risk, gamble is just like life.

That proverb is just a saying that can give false hope to the gambler, and it is also a totally nonsense proverb. Who the hell thinks that way? If a gambler actually thinks this way or believes in this, then they are also insane. But those who can easily be swayed will follow this kind of saying because they will feel the urge to gamble more, thinking that they can have the desired win or money. Not just this saying exists; there are many more nonsense sayings or beliefs about gambling winnings, but in reality, there are no such sayings that are right that will urge gamblers to gamble more. This is just misleading for those who can't control themselves from gambling or who are totally addicted to gambling and will believe in no-sense ideas just to satisfy their desires in gambling. Thankfully, I don't have the poor mind or weak will to believe in this kind of nonsense phrase.

This is your perspective about the proverb and it is actually fine. However, words are powerful and can serve as a motivation for some unwanted behavior. You will be surprised to know that some people will use this proverb as their ideology for gambling. I have heard people say in my locality "What will be will be" and this has made them live very careless lives because they think that life is predestined.

I have seen gamblers misconceive some wise words and relate them to gambling. The slogan of one addiction gambling in my area is "It is risky not to take risks". I suggest gamblers should dispel these deceptive hearsay because it might cause more harm than good. We should be rational in our thinking rather than relying on mere words.

I am not a Chinese and also not living in China, but did you think this proverb is talking directly about gambling? Or is talking about how risky life is and that life is more like we are gambling.

I understand your point of view and agree that the proverbs can be interpreted differently but then the proverbs also tell us the nature of gambling which is solely dependent on luck. So, if you know how lucky you are, then you must gamble since it is an activity full of unpredictability. However, I know of an African proverb which is the lizard that jumped from the high Iroko tree and said he will praise himself if no one else does. This proverb does not directly do with gambling activities but one can decipher the risk factor in gambling from the proverbs. The proverbs convey the idea of taking a risk and being self-reliant and gambling is about taking risk.

Speaking of Chinese, it is very common there among all ages to bet friendly on board games, there are a few particular games whose names I don't remember but they know what they are doing and it doesn't give an excuse to went rogue with their gambling activities.

I don't think sayings are much influencing as advertising but it can be too but I see it as an excuse from someone when they want to continue gambling.

If someone see this proverb and went to a gambling site or land based casino to gamble, the person will realize what gambling is. This proverb might make the gamblers think they can hit the number and win huge but noticing that they are gambling and losing more  ;D. The proverb would have been complete if using small amount of money to gamble is included. Also including just an amount that you can afford losing. Gambling should not be what should be done risking your money on because it is a tempting foolishness. Just use small amount of money and have the fun. Someone that will follow this proverb may become poor from rich.

There's one proverb I heard many times but can't remember the exact words but I remember it meant something like this:

"The fastest way to ruin someone's life is to let him learn to gamble."

This has got to be a sadistic way and one of the cruelest ways to ruin someone's life but if someone made you gamble and you got addicted, you have to think about who introduced you to how to gamble and if is there a motive.

No pain No gain. I’m always using this in different circumstances but most of the time during my exercise on gym but since I’m always using this logic whenever I encounter hardships I sometimes applying it on gambling naturally especially when I’m looking forward to hit some huge win out of my small bankroll.

I consider my initial loss as pain then I need to bear with it until I gain(hit huge win). So far this is not really working for me but this proverb is the main culprit on why I’m gambling hard sometimes.

Look at this Chinese proverb, "If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are."
If it is actually a proverb about gambling that was formed by a gambler who was Chinese then the proverb will only trigger an appeal to people who have some gambling experience or already considering gambling.

To others who are not gamblers, this proverb will only mean to them to take more action about their lives, take more risk to see how lucky they can get, Luck does not only come from gambling.

You can interpret that proverb in different ways, i.e. it could mean that you have to take risks and keep trying in life, and if you just give up, you may never be lucky to get what you ought to have gotten. I don't think that proverb is simply about wagering on games, either casino, sport or other type of games, but you can choose to see or understand something different in any statement, so if this is what you feel, i respect your opinion. However, i don't think proverbs should be enough to encourage one to gamble, it should be your own decision alone and not because you read what one 'wise' man or the other said.

Well it is never wrong to take the risk to almost anything however if it is with gambling, taking the risk creates a new definition. And my conclusion? anything tht is too much, is a bad thing and that is simply how gambling works. It is a cycle of continuous risk taking. Nothing's bad as long as you can handle the consequences however as you continue doing so, the drive to just take the risk could be a drive to win and become rich which are two different things. From being a gambler for years, I could say that it is not the activity which is bad, but the intention and expectations the gambler is having, which manifests to a bad or worse outcome.

No quote will push someone to wrongdoings . It will always depend to how an individual will interpret and recieve the message. Gambling is simple however a gambler's goal is not.

I find it to be specially fascinating how simple words and sayings can indeed tempt people to gamble or do things which they would not get as involved otherwise. I do not personally know any sayings of the kind you just described.
Though, I must admit that that one about gambling to find out how much luck one has is quite intriguing and powerful to me.
Ironically, when people start to gamble to figure out how lucky they truly are or can be, they cannot easily stop, because we have no idea when we are supposed to stop in order to reach the conclusion about our own good or bad luck
How many slot spins would be enough for us to know our luck good enough? 1, 5 or 100?
Also, even if one reached the conclusion about one having bad luck and not good luck, there will be always sayings inciting us to continue to gamble, because "gamblers always quit when they are about to hit a jackpot". It is a fallacy, of course, there is no way to know it.
I would be ready to call it one of the most dangerous sayings, since it implies one is never supposed to quit gambling, regardless how much money one has already lost to the casino.  ::)

Why is being responsibly so difficult and so easy to flow with the river of fun and irresponsibility?

I can create a witty quote and it can be called a proverb over the internet as well. Hence a quote like that does not necessarily mean that it is a good thing or maybe you are understanding it too superficially.

The explanation I would take is that one should take risks in life, not doing so means that they never tried. It was never about gambling with money at all.

Trigger or no trigger, it only acts like one if you are inclined to take it as so. To someone who understands that gambling is mostly a loss for the player, they would not get triggered even at a slightest.

“LUCK IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PREPARATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY.” — SENECA

This one acts as a trigger for me.  Having the extra funds and allocating my free time for a gambling session, who knows if I'll be lucky enough to meet the opportunity to hit 10x to 20x of my bankroll unless I try...

I find it to be specially fascinating how simple words and sayings can indeed tempt people to gamble or do things which they would not get as involved otherwise.

These simple encouraging quotes have a psychological effect that stimulates the curiousness of the readers and eventually moves them to try if it fits their situation.

Although there are people who are always guided by the quotes they find there and take them as if they were especially for them, then that makes them take the example of the quote and guide their life at some point, so by following these things you can We sense that some people are easy to influence, so because of this, we conclude that the risks are good, that the risks are always going to be better because it could happen, however every time we are seeing that better things can happen. Well, welcome.

Risks will always be in life, if we take risks in things that can sometimes compromise our lives, aren't we going to take risks in a casino? Of course yes, we know that everything is a risk, winning or losing is what we are always facing, and it is something that we cannot deny, life is full of remains, it is up to us to know how to carry them and use them, no matter what If we fail, the important thing is that we overcome them.

no proverbs could really trigger unless that proverb is understood by a gambler. most gamblers however don't read, the only that triggers them is winning the jackpot prize. 

the only reason why the gamblers in crypto space are reading is because it's online, we face web pages all the time compared to the ones offline where the gambler often just walk-in, chats few friends, and play.

These proverbs can also act as triggers, in my opinion."You can't win without taking risks" - romanticizes risk and glosses over the high chances of losing.
"Some people are lucky!" - fuels the belief in luck and the desire to gamble."Happiness loves the brave" - motivates to continue to play, even if a person loses. Important: critically evaluate proverbs, and do not succumb to their dubious interpretations. Excitement does not guarantee neither luck nor wealth.

Just as we have expressed our concerns about certain gambling advertisements serving as potential triggers, I have observed and I think that there are gambling proverbs or quotes can also play a role in influencing individuals. Look at this Chinese proverb, "If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are." From this proverb, it can spur a regular person to explore gambling as a means to test their luck and become hooked. Also, the person who has been gambling will want to continue gambling while being hopeful that someday they would eventually be lucky and hit the jackpot.
I doubt if it's only through gambling we can test how lucky we are in life, there are a surplus areas of life we can test our luck, it could be through an attempt to invent something, engage into a new line of business, applying for a job opportunity that other people might have applied and failed but you just could feel like still trying out your luck by also sending an application despite the much rejections on others. All of these is still risk taken only that they are in varied form.

So therefore, trying luck doesn't only apply to gambling alone, the only thing is that luck is predominant in gambling because it's an activity that it's results is mainly dependent on luck and not really on the individual's know-how. In trying your luck as a gambler we should be attentive to know when it's not our lucky day for us to quit and move to other things order than spending the whole time to keep trying luck that is not working in our favor.

It's the first time I have heard that proverb. There are 2 similar proverbs I know of.
One is that "You have to risk it to get the biscuit" and the other one is a proverb in Hindi saying that "Risk hai toh Ishq hai" meaning if there is risk then there is love.
So yeah, while we do have such proverbs which attracts us to gambling it becomes our responsibility to be aware of it and maintain healthy gambling habits.

A gambler can gamble his life, I use to hear about this a long time ago that those who gambles can sell anything to gamble including their lives, just because they have the mentality of everyone gambling will just have to be irresponsible to himself and the people around him, they believe that the money he would have used to himself or the family will go into gambling, some gamblers also have made it more possible for other people to believe this about them when they are nothing than a piece of an irresponsible gambler.

Even the motto or slogan used by some of these casino or betting platforms trigger gamblers to want to gamble or even people who do not gamble to want to try their luck in gambling. Do not start gambling because of a slogan or proverb, and if you are a gambler who is trying to quit, know your triggers, and know when you are triggered to gamble so you can control yourself.

There is nothing wrong with the saying you convey. However, it would be a big problem if we immediately swallowed this saying without a clear meaning and deeper understanding. It's true that people who don't gamble probably won't experience financial luck from gambling, but luck can be found in many aspects of life that don't involve gambling. and it is quite important for us to be able to understand that luck is not the only factor that can influence our life and happiness. Whether a person is lucky or not does not solely depend on success or failure in gambling. Many aspects of life can bring good luck and happiness without involving the financial and emotional risks associated with gambling.

Viewing luck from a broader perspective can open the eyes to the many ways in which life can enrich and bring happiness. There is no need to rely on gambling to experience good fortune, as life provides many valuable opportunities and experiences without significant financial risk.

What other proverbs or sayings could potentially act as triggers, enticing individuals to initiate or perpetuate their gambling activities?

There is no wisdom in these gambling sayings, and these sayings were created, to propagate, encourage, and promote gambling by the gambling platforms and gamblers to encourage themselves and people to continue gambling.

I don't encourage myself and my friends to take these sayings as encouraging yourself to gamble will harm your reputation, your mind, and your finances, and the popular saying that I stumble that is very popular among gamblers is
Quote
Quitters don't win in gambling
so we always see gamblers keep on pushing their luck because if they quit you're not going to win.

"The fastest way to ruin someone's life is to let him learn to gamble."

Haha! This must have emanated from a gambler whose life was ruined by gambling. I have a friend who will always say that the hardest thing to do is to predict and win. He will always joke saying that whatever a gambler predicts will not play.

If you predict right, the outcome will go left lol and even if you predict that all the players will wear jerseys, one of the players will wear a singlet to the pitch lol.

Always use your critical sense when reading such quotes on the internet.

"Chinese proverb"? The meaning of Chinese proverb is different from another country's proverb, this the same proverb can means another thing in another country. And one can test their luck from different things but we have to know that life itself is gambling. So op if I loss from gambling then that means I am not lucky in life? I can't use gambling to test my luck. Well I understand that the lucky you are talking about center on gambling and not on any other side.

"No risky no gain" and "I win one day" those are some of the saying that encouraging gambling to gamble perpetually.

Just as we have expressed our concerns about certain gambling advertisements serving as potential triggers, I have observed and I think that there are gambling proverbs or quotes can also play a role in influencing individuals. Look at this Chinese proverb, "If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are." From this proverb, it can spur a regular person to explore gambling as a means to test their luck and become hooked. Also, the person who has been gambling will want to continue gambling while being hopeful that someday they would eventually be lucky and hit the jackpot.

What other proverbs or sayings could potentially act as triggers, enticing individuals to initiate or perpetuate their gambling activities?

And perhaps this influence Chinese to be gambling as I have observed in our physical casinos that most of the players there are Chinese?

Perhaps another Chinese proverbs that I search upon, The Chinese Proverb of 'Sai Weng Lost His Horse' (https://www.thoughtco.com/chinese-proverbs-sai-weng-lost-his-horse-227843/)

Quote
The Meaning of Sāi Wēng Shī Mǎ
The proverb can be read to have multiple implications when it comes to the concept of luck and fortune. The end of the story seems to suggest that every misfortune comes with a silver lining, or as we might put it in English—a blessing in disguise. But within the story is also the sense that with what at first appears to be good luck can come misfortune. Given its dual meaning, this proverb is commonly said when bad luck turns to good or when good luck turns to bad.

This Chinese proverb makes ordinary people continue to gamble. They will never know the outcome if they do not gamble. It may have an impact on other things. But it will also depend on how a person will use gambling.

If they don't really like gambling and don't gamble too often, they won't test their luck and become addicted. However, many people experience addiction because they gamble too often compared to other people. This is what they have to realize: that they don't need to gamble excessively.

And it's normal that people keep returning to gambling because they still hope to win. I don't know if any proverbs or other sayings will trigger them to gamble. But maybe there is one invitation for them: "Come on, this is just one-time gambling. That's okay for you." And that makes them return to gambling more and more often.

There are probably too many to count, and this is because we know that in order to achieve great deeds, great risks have to be taken, however the risk and the reward should at least be proportional otherwise it does not make much sense to take a risk for a very small reward.

And while I enjoy to gamble and it is a very entertaining hobby, at the same time I realize that those that are aiming to obtain profits out of it are taking a risk that is too high since chances are they will never obtain the reward they are looking for.

In this regard, I can note that there is a very good Russian proverb that may be useful to gambling fans. It goes like this: “He who doesn’t take risks, doesn’t drink champagne.” Apparently, champagne used to be considered a high-society drink and implied that taking risks led to success. There is a similar proverb: “Risk is a noble cause.” These sayings are beautiful, but the cruel reality is that they do not correspond well to the nature of gambling. Success in gambling is closely related to good risk management and proper bank management. This means that we need to limit risk in every possible way. Risk should only be accepted if it is associated with a good reward and this risk is not fatal to you.

Is there really a saying that says something about gambling? even though the proverb should say things that motivate a person's life and saying about gambling is not a good motivation but like baiting someone to do bad things, this is like an influencer who advertises gambling so that he motivates people to gamble even though the influencer's goal is only to promote the site gambling and of course casinos like it if more and more people gamble because that's why they make a profit.

Another proverb that can trigger gambling is "keep gambling every day so you know when luck will come your way" like a quote I once read on this forum, even though the more you gamble will only lead to addiction and very deep losses, this is not recommended for anyone who only want to chase luck because this ambition will increasingly plunge you into uncontrolled gambling and irresponsible gambling.

Take "Lady Luck smiles upon you." That luck is capricious and coy is ingrained in this phrase and mindset. Gambling ain't fairytale.

I can't help thinking about humanity. Gamblers remember these sayings. "You've got to be in it to win it" is almost mocking, driving the weak deeper into the rabbit hole.

Antidote? Reality, education, and awareness. Gambling should entertain, not deceive. Reframe these sayings, remove their romanticized sheen, and reveal them as words, not fate. It's about choices, not chances.

Yes and this message is what makes many people hope to win and get money from gambling, but it also comes back to the views of every gambler because not everyone takes this message too seriously and in the end they are well controlled when gambling and responsible when gambling. The point is to always control yourself when gambling, even though there may be an opportunity to win and get big money at gambling, don't make it a benchmark that you have to chase.

Gambling requires a healthy mindset, why don't you have to chase money and win because basically humans have a greedy nature that is difficult to control, so that's what makes people sometimes forget themselves when gambling and go beyond their limits and end up becoming addicted to gambling, this message actually invites anyone to try their luck, but of course, with quotation marks, they must be responsible and have good control because without that, of course they will gamble recklessly which will ultimately harm themselves in gambling.

Hobby? making it something that on active manner would really be just that putting you on potential gambling addiction on which this is something which it isnt really that recommended but if you are dealing gambling
with having that kind of control and moderation then it would really be just that fine but if you are really that dealing with it with having that kind of money making mindset then this is where shit things do really happen.
This is why it would really be that important that you should really be having the control. Speaking about those sayings or proverbs then i dont really believe much that it could really be the main reason on why
people would really be dying on playing gambling just because they had been able to read up the line which this is something that could changed up someones personality and this is why
it is really that important that self control and moderation would be the key.

Sometimes proverbs or speech serve as a great motivation for gamblers. I have heard of some gamblers I know who sometimes gave up gambling but they decided to start gambling again after hearing some motivational words. But those words are really true. If luck favors gambling, there is a chance of winning the jackpot but the luck will not return for the person who refrains from trying. A gambler must try. If he tries, he can get his destiny one time. These words are not only motivational but also true. I just want to say if try you will get the chance.

There is no doubt what you say because these proverbs or sayings will make gamblers enthusiastic to continue their gambling game. They no longer think about loss but will try to pursue a win even though they know it is difficult to achieve.
They think they will be lucky this time, win the gambling game, and take home some money. But in reality, they still have difficulty winning some money so that still doesn't stop them from gambling.
Gamblers will continue to try to get lucky even if it means they have to use more money. That is a situation that is often experienced by many gamblers so we should not follow it and always limit our gambling.

It serves as a motivation to some but, doesn't it sound like you're just putting someone's trust in things that are uncertain? Because we know that no matter what we motivate a person, they still have the feeling that they hope that they might win or that their life might change if they continue gambling.
maybe it's better if we don't say words that we're not sure will happen because we know how gambling goes, it often depends on a person's luck or their own style of how to gamble. It is better that we teach others how to handle themselves correctly when gambling, rather than encouraging them with motivational words that are not sure if the same thing that happened to others will happen to them.

There is a saying in my country from one of the academics as well as people who are considered smart in their fields, namely "Life that is not bet on will not win" this is if consumed in the wrong way with the wild understanding of gamblers that we need to bet to get a win rather than nothing, sometimes sentences like this miss communication or someone misunderstands the phrase that the person wants to convey.

This often happens and may trigger a person to try gambling in their life or become more enthusiastic about gambling in their life. ::)

Only newbies and those addicted to gambling will believe in these proverbs, they embrace these sayings so they can justify why they should continue to gamble, these sayings will benefit casinos and they want gamblers to believe that it is a fact, they want you to have that mantra because as long as you hold on to these proverbs and mantras the money will keep flowing and you will continue to be the casinos' cash cow

I don't have any and I don't want to have one, we should treat gambling as entertainment all these proverbs will just entice you to go back to gambling again and again because all these sayings are for promoting gambling, that you can make money out of it.

However, there's a gambling quote I've always seen at one lottery outlet near us. It reads:

 'You could be the next millionaire tomorrow if you bet now.'

I think this saying works because there are so many bettors in that lottery outlet.

Well this is not a proverb but it is just something that I made up that can also be relevant/associated with gambling:

The only failure is when you stop trying.

I mean, it is your generic tagline with regard to success but this can be applicable to gambling where people would keep on gambling until they win. Unfortunately, this quote can be potentially dangerous as this will definitely compel gamblers to NOT stop until they have won a decent amount of cash depending on their standards.

Bottomline, proverbs and quotes should not be taken literally- always find the wisdom behind the meaning of every passage and take it to heart depending on how it can be applied on your current situation.

A smart person will not take this out of context. The world is merely a motivation to tryout new things and check your potential in gambling. Words are inspiring but it doesn't guarantee anything because gambling doesn't makes you special in anyway, it's not like life where you would want to say I'm destined to this and try my luck, you will learn the hard way. ;D

You don't even need any word of motivation to win in gambling. Like last week, I was down with some fever and out of Boredom, I make some selection of games, just of them and stake it with some change and that bets beautifully went on flash mode. It was less than 5 hours and all of them came quick, no motivation, no influence just boredom and I won.

proverbs are always open to interpretation. whichever it may go, just keep the analogy to yourself because someone will always think you got it all wrong.

the proverb could be a story of a boy wanting to ask for a chick to be his girlfriend. it's like gambling whether losing a friend or getting lucky and finding out she feels the same way. okay this is getting out of topic.  but i'm sure the boy is horny that's what triggers him.  ;D

Ancient Chinese people had their own philosophy regarding gambling. the parable you say in this thread is related to a Chinese proverb, which has a broad meaning. and that's why in China gambling has become one of their ancestral traditions, for example, the game of mahjong. so Chinese people are used to things like this, but the fact is that almost the majority of Chinese people are hard workers, tenacious, even though they have a philosophy based on gambling figurative words. but it does not affect its citizens at all, which they even have from their ancestors. in fact, Chinese people are not all gamblers, right?

Well, I just want to emphasize it in this post. in fact, I don't know what to answer regarding gambling proverbs which might be the forerunner to becoming a gambler and even an addict. the reason is, we don't have scientific data research results related to what you say in this post. after all, how many of today's modern people like to read or like words like any related figures of speech. just imagine, what about the proverbs related to gambling? I can confirm, IMO, that only a handful of people are affected by this more modern digital era.

it all depends on how we think about how to interpret words of wisdom or quotes like that and I think quotes like that are aimed at everyday life, not for gambling as I once said in another thread "big luck is only for those who are willing to take big risks "
this means that anyone will never be able to get lucky if they don't do anything, such as working hard or building a business to make a profit, because usually someone is afraid to take risks when they want to build a business.
and from the Chinese proverb that you said, I think that if someone doesn't make any effort in the business sector, they will definitely never know how successful they will be in the future.

well, this is all just about how we interpret these words of wisdom, but if someone can't think critically, they will just judge instantly and do what the saying says, but if someone has a critical mind, they will usually read and interpret the things they say. being logical in real life does not mean that gambling is risky for anyone.
maybe wise words like this usually influence beginner gamblers more because they still have big ambitions to get big wins and the existence of this saying is like giving support to beginner gamblers to continue betting.

We need to be careful with such general wisdom since life is way more complex than that, it is true that those that obtain the biggest success are the ones that take the bigger risks, but at the same time risk does not equate opportunity.

There are many things that are very risky and yet doing them gives you no reward at all, so whenever we consider doing something in which the risk is high, we also need to think about what it is the possible reward we may get, and if the reward does not exist or it is not big enough then we are in our right to refuse to engage in that activity.

Those proverbs could relate to gambling but I guess not it's not the focus of it instead in life, proverbs can be interpreted into different aspects on how get delivered, and the situation of the people, not only proverbs can push through a decision if a person could be a just word, actions, etc. once they notice the possible outcome and having a realization this could trigger to them with the question of "Why not", why not they take a risk, why not they take a risk. People can be affected easily by their environment.

Those proverbs could relate to gambling but I guess not it's not the focus of it instead in life, proverbs can be interpreted into different aspects on how get delivered, and the situation of the people, not only proverbs can push through a decision if a person could be a just word, actions, etc. once they notice the possible outcome and having a realization this could trigger to them with the question of "Why not", why not they take a risk, why not they take a risk. People can be affected easily by their environment.
Yes, I agree with you that this proverb does use the word gambling because from the first time it was known until now gambling is related to luck and without luck no one can win at gambling.
It just that I think proverbs like this tend to be more like emphasizing that everyone must have the courage to take risks in order to achieve success or success.
Word gambling is used because gambling is full of uncertainty and full of risk, this is the same as someone who will take step in making decisions for their future.
And the word luck is used because luck has the same meaning as success or achievement.

I think it has nothing to do with proverbs like this that can influence or make ordinary people fall into gambling.
Moreover, proverbs themselves are advice or form of manifestation of goodness which is expressed with series of words that are in harmony, it would clearly be mistake to use proverbs from different point of view.
We must be able to understand and also interpret every word of the existing proverbs so that fatal errors do not occur.

I hated most of these proverbs and sayings because they can be misleading, the one I don't like the most is the more you keep gambling, the closer you are to hitting a jackpot, this can weaponized any beginner and they will think that all they need to do is keep gambling with all thy might.

I don't let all these words get to me, because what gambling truly is can't be hidden, it's about you trying to predict an outcome, something that's impossible for any human to do without some analysis, even with strong analysis the unexpected turn of event do happens.

We are not the masters of this universe, time is the most powerful thing that human can't control, what the future may bring is based on probability, if you believe in this fact that I am saying, no proverbs like this will get into your head when you plan to gamble, risk only what you can afford.

We need to be careful with such general wisdom since life is way more complex than that, it is true that those that obtain the biggest success are the ones that take the bigger risks, but at the same time risk does not equate opportunity.

There are many things that are very risky and yet doing them gives you no reward at all, so whenever we consider doing something in which the risk is high, we also need to think about what it is the possible reward we may get, and if the reward does not exist or it is not big enough then we are in our right to refuse to engage in that activity.
It's better not to take too big a risk, especially since we are in the world of gambling, where anything can happen, including experiencing a big loss that will result in losing a lot of money. Many people have experienced big losses just because they read a saying or writing that you are only a little away from winning, even though that will only make them experience more defeats.

If we are not ready for the risk, we don't need to spend a lot of money and save the money for other things so that we won't experience many losses. We must be responsible when spending money on gambling so that we must be able to reduce the number of losses.

Just as we have expressed our concerns about certain gambling advertisements serving as potential triggers, I have observed and I think that there are gambling proverbs or quotes can also play a role in influencing individuals. Look at this Chinese proverb, "If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are." From this proverb, it can spur a regular person to explore gambling as a means to test their luck and become hooked. Also, the person who has been gambling will want to continue gambling while being hopeful that someday they would eventually be lucky and hit the jackpot.

What other proverbs or sayings could potentially act as triggers, enticing individuals to initiate or perpetuate their gambling activities?
wow! So what you're trying to say in essence is that I can start an habit or continue in an act because of just a popular saying?

There are so many reasons why people gamble and their are thousands more reason why some get addicted to gambling but what you should know is that whatever you're doing is first of all your personal decision before that of an outside person. No matter how good your reason for engaging in an act that is draining you down is, it doesn't change the fact that you're the one that is primarily be eating the brunt.

As a matured person, when you look at certain proverbs or popular saying, you can just analyse it and know the motive behind it.  Truth is that I don't even like to live my life by luck or chances and we all know that gambling is obviously a game of luck and chances and so we just do it for fun and not make any big deal out of it.

It's normal for people to want to associate their activities as been supported by a certain speach, phrase or words so it give them the feel that they are not really wrong with all that which they are doing, so for them there's always an excuse to support or get them to make their activities reasonable and presentable enough.

That word applies mostly in a real life situation because I don't want to believe when this proverbs was said they had in mind the gamblers or the gamblers was their target audience, never at all is was that really put to consideration but a random proverb for life.

"A fool and his money are soon parted," says that. This classic is more relevant than ever in gambling. Identifying a rigged game is the goal, not evaluating luck. House always wins, right? It's math, not luck. This requires an attitude shift. Why not promote self-awareness instead of gambling glamor? As in "Know thyself." If you knew your limitations, triggers, and the value of your money, would you gamble? We should celebrate wise sayings over silly ones. Gamble for knowledge, not luck. Can you see the trap?

I don't think they mean it literally but it is then I stand corrected. But in the persoective of gambling, it is really has a point. It's like us doing nothing and then surely nothing will happen. We couldn't experience luck unless we try to gamble.

I think that traditional investment proverbs in general will always be useful for betting, because to a certain extent they are the same. But I always like to diversify and be open to possibilities. That's why I really like betting, especially online.
Well, you are right that many sayings, adages and proverbs could work for both gambling and trading but not all as gambling is way more risky with a different model of working compared to trading. The only thing they have in common is the risk involved, both are risky and the expertise of the traders/bettors is heavily needed before success can be made. This is even as luck is more needed in gambling than in trading, and once you are experienced and trade rightly, you are good to go in trading unlike in most aspects of gambling where you need luck the most.

But irrespective of these, one must know that both are better in their practical experiences than in one adage or proverb. The proverbs/adages may not reflect the reality of trading and gambling. Just like what is in the OP, everyone should know that it is not practical in real life because I do not see how the gambling results could be the gauge of how lucky you are as a person. And even if you are lucky today that doesn't mean you can replicate the luck tomorrow. This doesn't make it consistent, and also the proof that luck is not what we can measure per person, it only happens when it wants and people should rather express it that way rather than how they make it look reality.

You can twist a situation to show that gambling would have been something good to encourage people to gamble. But I never support this.

Proverbs and old sayings have the chance of being mis-interpreted and people usually take these words with high hopes of being wise words. They are not always like that and the situation is what is more important. A broke person should not attempt to gamble their last pennies but work hard to earn money and save it.

Some proverbs might be correct in a specific situation but horrible in another. You have to use your conscience to determine that.

I don't know the Chinese culture but I think that this proverb here is meant for another meaning rather than to spur the gambler that is hidden in every person.I think that saying means to be bold and coragous in life in order to push further for achieving new things,it is similar as saying to our EU/US one which says,fortune favors the bold.

I have yet to know a country which incite you through proverbs to try gambling.

Anyone that listens to proverbs and get motivated to start gambling, will finally run at big loss, because they have taken gambling as something that they can get profit from. As adults you don't allow yourself to be lured into something by mere words without making research of asking experienced people to know more.

It is better for you to gamble because you want to have fun and not because someone says that you should or because of some words that are common proverbs. If you listen to such proverbs and get motivated, then you have been motivated into running at loss.

Many gamblers thinks that gambling existed because of the poor, but this game of luck doesn't care about who is losing money, either rich or poor it will always favour the casino more than gamblers, before a gambler turn into a millionaire in gambling, a million of people have already lost a lot of money and are still actively losing a lot more.

Many have turned away from jobs because they believe that gambling can sustain them, but only to find out the hardest way, gambling is so unreliable when it comes to finances, it's the wrong tool for fixing your broke problem.

Sad to hear that. We learn about proverbs when we are doing our primary education and eventually use them at times where is seems clear. But we must not forget their situational use and that they are not applicable to every condition out there.

Some swindlers with hidden interests will attempt to manipulate you via such proverbs to force you to gamble. One must identify such people and ignore them or turn their back on them.

Broke or rich, we shouldn't depend on gambling because the system will completely liquidate our account. Who still points out gambling to be a resolution of standing balance when it comes to finances? Gambling is tough and I wouldn't advise anyone to gamble, it's never a good choice to gamble, instead we should channel those energies into doing another thing that will become useful. Gambling is unreliable but profits and losses are evidence of the space, most of us cannot stand the losses results when they come, but enjoyed every moment of profits.

Proverbs are meant to serve as piece of advice and most times motivations never to give up. They have conventional meanings that are most times wrongly misinterpreted and many people will take advantage of such misinterpretations to act irresponsibly.  Many gambling related proverbs do not really talk about gambling in real sense but a person who has already made up his mind to gamble and just waiting for a push will use that proverb as an excuse to gamble irresponsibly. Every gambler knows some of the extreme measures they take while gambling that can cause them some problems if they are not lucky, yet they will choose to risk it, after all gambling is all about taking risks.

It is not just the proverbs that triggers one to gamble,  people will always give excuses for taking certain unpleasant actions. When your mind is made up already on something,  anything at all can trigger you to act.

You're right; it's a fool's game. We see individuals throw their hopes into a bottomless pit, even though the house always wins. The casino doesn't care about your income; you're simply a number. Risking your job for gaming wealth? That's stupid and a terrible miscalculation of reality. Gambling did not and never will provide steady income. Hope is preyed upon and despair follows.

I often ask friends or those I know personally, especially those who are involved in gambling, the question why do you gamble, the answer is looking for experience.

Of course I want to know on what basis they gamble to gain experience.
These words are here.
Quote
"The experience of gambling is not what happens to you, but rather what you do with what happens to you in the gambling arena".

Based on the words in the quote above, I believe that many of them want to enter the world of gambling, because all these things can happen due to actions and behavior, that is the average meaning of those who want to gamble based on wanting to gain experience.

It is probably not the saying itself that will push me to gamble. It might be the curiosity. Or the wish to make money. Even if I read a saying about gambling, I think it is not enough for me to gamble as a reaction.

I think the strongest trigger that might push me to gamble even if I don't feel like to, aside from the attractive prize, is probably the prodding of friends. Sometimes I gamble because my friends are gambling. And they're having fun and they want me to join them. They will convince me to gamble also.

And then the saying that you can only get back your money if you continue betting will already apply once you are already losing and wanting to quit. Sometimes friends are a bad influence. Lol.

It depends because there are also sayings that are merely to encourage you to continue playing. Like the usual remark that I share about not stopping because that's the only way to get back your money, that's not a saying that helps you keep your money. That's a saying that is actually telling you to chase your losses, to try to recover what you've lost. Although that saying seems to be full of hope, that's quite dangerous in gambling. It could also mean you will lose more, and possibly everything.

As far as I know, gambling and Chinese people are two things that cannot be separated, because I have several Chinese neighbors and when they get together they usually play dominoes, mahjong or card games. I once talked to one of them about why they like gambling so much, according to him it was because their ancestors had been gambling for thousands of years and it had become a tradition for Chinese people to gamble. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are so many words of Chinese wise people related to gambling, because it has become their tradition.

I'd like to add up something that could be called a proverb or a superstition related to our culture and it also accepts that gambling your money is losing it.
There's a popular belief that you should gamble occasionally to spend your bad lucks. They believe we have finite number of bad lucks in a given time. So, if we spend them on losing on gambling, we'd be safe from other life threatening bad lucks like accidents and losses in business.
It's clearly a superstition as gambling could be the start of a series of bad lucks which otherwise would have never occurred but this gives some degree of social legitimacy for gambling business.

I hated most of these proverbs and sayings because they can be misleading, the one I don't like the most is the more you keep gambling, the closer you are to hitting a jackpot, this can weaponized any beginner and they will think that all they need to do is keep gambling with all thy might.

It is that this proverb, like the others that have been quoted here, is bullshit. To get carried away by such proverbs is a sure way to lose a lot of money. The one you quote is fallacious for two reasons:

1. Mathematical events are independent. If you have a 0.1% chance of hitting a jackpot you still have it no matter if you have bet 1,000 times before and this is the 1,001st bet.

2. Eventually you will hit the jackpot but most likely by then you will have spent more money than you have won.

We could make a similar analysis of the rest of the proverbs.

The proverbs used mostly apply to taking a chance at something, not gambling. They are mostly used to nudge the lazy people who are not attempting to develop their lives into something even better.

But then you can misinterpret these statements to gambling because the addict's brain functions in that way and for them anything and everything is gambling. At present the social media influencers and gamers are trying to monetize the gambling scene by reaching out to the younger generation with their gambling promotions.

But similar problems were there in previous generations too, it is just how the people learn to avoid them.

I believe that sayings are more of a form of encouragement and parsimony, in the sense that it will help you to calm down and make wise decisions according to the sentence. I believe it helps keep money more than an incentive to play or something like that

It depends because there are also sayings that are merely to encourage you to continue playing. Like the usual remark that I share about not stopping because that's the only way to get back your money, that's not a saying that helps you keep your money. That's a saying that is actually telling you to chase your losses, to try to recover what you've lost. Although that saying seems to be full of hope, that's quite dangerous in gambling. It could also mean you will lose more, and possibly everything.


Those encouraging sayings help a few people who utilize it for gambling carefully. Most gamblers rarely acknowledge the fact that the saying is a factor that helps them to stay gambling. In the long run, everyone does whatever they feel is right and doesn't care if it's worth it or not. Provided it gives them money. Those who read quotes on chasing losses like " don't give up" in gambling may regret it at the finish line of the game. Those who share such quotes to help a gambling friend not to quit, could be getting their strategies right, and forget to teach the other player who wants to quit ways to gamble responsibly. All they can share with the person is a quote that'll make him change his mind not to quit.

Thereby, pushing the gambler to continue from where he stopped. Those are difficulties most players face while gambling and peer pressure. Although the game is personal, lots of gamblers are aware of one another and tend to have conversations regarding their wins. Most players, even, lie about their wins to impress friends. Nothing stops a gambler from taking inspiration from those quotes, but it's worth it if the player focuses on being a better player than depending on quotes. Most of the quotes I've read on the thread point towards gambling more don't quit, confirm your luck, etc. Gamblers also need a quote that helps in reviving their anxieties caused by gambling.

We oppose exploiters of the vulnerable and support those caught in the cycle. After seeing a lot, gambling isnt for the faint-hearted. Not everyone can handle the rough game. In gambling, "dont give up" doesnt help. Knowledge of when to hold and fold is more important than not quitting.

People lie about winning, digging their buddies deeper. Thats major league loss. No joke, we need a new story. Ignore old quotes. Be smart and gamble responsibly. Playing the game right is more important than money. Its acceptable to leave. This is life success, not quitting. Play smartly and stay focused. The actual stuff.

Look at this Chinese proverb, "If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are." From this proverb, it can spur a regular person to explore gambling as a means to test their luck and become hooked. Also, the person who has been gambling will want to continue gambling while being hopeful that someday they would eventually be lucky and hit the jackpot.

I agree with you OP that not just the social medias, ADs or gambling influencers that also influences individuals to gamble or to the attractions of addictive and Irresponsible gambling.

The wise saying that No Risk No Rewards has also ilicited about influences to had got some occasional gamblers to had adopted the gambling boards and sites of becoming their comfortable grounds where they spends their leisures.

Also has aspired gamblers of taking much impossible risks of betting with unaffordable funds to loose including picking up of little teams to beat the big teams just to stand on the high odds and yet they don't win and later on they keep on repeatedly betting on same style hoping that it would pay them off some days as long gambling is a game of luck and yeah, they are boosted with the word of the no risks no rewards.

Yes, and they are unique games and in addition, there are generations and generations being influenced by games and betting. That's why they are so fascinated with betting. It reaches the point of being something extremely accepted by everyone, unlike Western societies.
The proverbs used mostly apply to taking a chance at something, not gambling. They are mostly used to nudge the lazy people who are not attempting to develop their lives into something even better.

But then you can misinterpret these statements to gambling because the addict's brain functions in that way and for them anything and everything is gambling.

When someone is very seriously addicted to gambling, of course they will misunderstand something and will more often relate it to gambling, because all they think about is gambling, so whatever they listen to will of course be able to easily connect it to gambling and be able to get rid of it. Because of this habit, you have to change your thinking about gambling by looking for something busy so you don't always think about gambling.

Gamblers often like to use gambling proverbs and sayings because they can help express complex thoughts and emotions in a simple way.
For example, "Don't play with fire" can be used to warn about the risks of gambling. Or “Some go to the forest, some go for firewood” can remind you that in gambling there are always winners and losers. Additionally, proverbs and sayings can be used to maintain optimism and motivation, such as “Luck is turning.” But it is important to remember that gambling can lead to serious consequences, so you need to play responsibly and keep reality in mind.

2. Eventually you will hit the jackpot but most likely by then you will have spent more money than you have won.

We could make a similar analysis of the rest of the proverbs.
I am relatable to this.

It is what I have always been hearing from those that cant accept losing and instead, keep on going on because what they are up to is to continue gambling and has that thought of what if they stop, luck could have been there for then.

Another one, "you wont lose if you dont gamble" tell this to a gambler that is in losing streak and they will be triggered.

I don't think the proverb given by the Chinese can be wording words that can act as a trigger for an individual to begin to gamble. Although the proverb can be misunderstood when heard of in a real sense, it is not for one to know how their luck can be in gambling rather it is for one to thank their stars for not engaging in gambling.

Having said that, my understanding of the proverb is far different from how you view it to be. Like someone who doesn't gamble, doesn't know how lucky they are not to find gambling as an act to engage in.

I have heard of the proverb severally times from people who gamble a lot, telling those who don't gamble how lucky they are not to gamble.

I agree with you that this can be a motivation for someone to try out gambling and someone might test and become lucky at the initial stages which is what usually happens. But as time passes it might seem like something changed and the gambler might become stocked, not able to quit and not making progress either. Some can actually start this way and make fortune off gambling, it all depend on our individuality.

Another statement that usually motivate people to start or continue in gambling is "no risk, no reward". With the statement, the individual is all charged for big risk hoping that it will pay off. Some get lucky doing this, while some get burnt.

Anyone who gives excuses for bad habits is irresponsible and doesn't have the guts to address the issue it self, that proverbs could also be understood in another light that means you should try to take risks, besides any risk is a gamble and uts 50/50 and it doesn't have to be casino gamble or sports betting, so we should try to also control ourselves with the kind of risk we take and not give excuses to other things.

The risk is the same at 50/50 although the gambling has the downfall that the user can find it attractive and starts gambling massively,that is a problem because it only happens with gambling and not for example if you took risks by applying for a new job,much difficult that your current one while at your current one you have guarantees that no one can fire you and join the unknown in this new job,it happens once here,with gambling is difficult to handle as once you are in it becomes the more difficult with the passing of time if you don't stop,so I am also assuming this proverb should be used better in trying new things beneficial to us over the long term rather than in gambling which in long time is a guaranteed loss for us.

It depends on our luck and not individuality because it's your luck that influences the results of your bets and your individuality has nothing to do with that. It's not very common to find people who have made a fortune off gambling because that doesn't happen very often, and only a few out of millions have enough luck to be able to achieve that.

Another statement that usually motivate people to start or continue in gambling is "no risk, no reward". With the statement, the individual is all charged for big risk hoping that it will pay off. Some get lucky doing this, while some get burnt.
Most people get burnt when they take risks that they can't even afford and it's not wise to do that. It's true that when you take risks, you tend to get rewarded for it sometimes, but it doesn't mean that if you have $100 in total, you should spend all that on gambling hoping that you would get rewarded for your risk, that isn't how gambling works.

I agree, we shouldn't depend our life paths on beliefs and sayings, we have different situations in life, not everything that suits to one person can also suit you. Also, when it comes to gambling, we should not follow what other people say, especially those who push you to gamble, you need to believe or trust yourself because only you know what you really want to do , there are other people who are easily influenced by others because they don't trust themselves and their own decisions so they only rely on beliefs as mentioned by OP.

Gamblers that be in control of there gambling state tend to perform more than others.
I don't see or consider such proverb to be a trigger that would lead one to gamble, Proverbs are sayings with deeper meaning than  actual word used. For me one can be lucky at anything and gambling isn't a test place to check if you're lucky or not. You win by chance and not any thought or illusion of luck.
This is worthless for those that don't gamble, but to a gambler is a pill to keep him motivated in the quest to see how lucky he is. In essence only a gambler will get triggered by this quotes and this is far more different from promotions. For simplicity Promotions is targeted at having more customer base promising them with unrealistic bonuses and incentives whereas Proverb is mainly used to balance up by gamblers and having deeper meanings that illustrate and directs.

Proverbs or sayings would really be just that able to trigger you out on playing even more because you are projecting yourself that you could really be able to do it if you are trying to chase up something or trying it out whether it would really be working or not. Just like on what most people been saying on here that there's no such thing that could really be able to influence
on how you do bet or on how you do gamble generally because you are trying out to follow a certain idea on which this is something that would really be that bringing out those kind of
behavior on which it would really be causing up that huge disaster towards your gambling activity.

Never ever make yourself that following into those words or sayings because luck factor isnt something that could be influenced or something that could really be altered out.
It comes naturally and results or outcomes are the indications whether you are lucky or not on a particular day or moment.

Taking responsibility of the consequences on negative positions we have taken have been something hard to find with every human, among other things they will want to find faults and excuses to salvage themself and they can go as far as playing the victim role to ignite pity from others thereby escaping from embracing responsibility to their action.

The fact that a statement or a proverb motivates doesn't make room for gamble abuse, the consequence is that you get addicted losing your way to the fun and also the winning that was supposed to follow by luck and chance.

I'd say in general anything related to luck could be a potential trigger no? At least, when said in the presence of something that would entice them to gamble their money away, e.g. when being invited by a friend to gamble when they don't have any money to spend. Kind of weird though since I personally have never felt challenged by a... proverb, to actually do something. Proving a point? I ain't that petty, especially since there's no need to prove it to a couple of words.

it's always possible to find justifications for one's actions if one looks hard enough. However, it's worth acknowledging that for every proverb that seems to encourage a certain behavior, there's often another that advises caution or restraint.
Take, for instance, the contrast between "Fortune favors the bold" and "A fool and his money are soon parted," or the divergence in the wisdom of "Never quit while you're ahead" compared to "Better safe than sorry."
So it seems that wisdom can be found in both daring and discretion  :)

Take, for instance, the contrast between "Fortune favors the bold" and "A fool and his money are soon parted," or the divergence in the wisdom of "Never quit while you're ahead" compared to "Better safe than sorry."
So it seems that wisdom can be found in both daring and discretion  :)

You will be confused if you are too detailed on every decision you are making but gamblers mind is very simple. They always choose what’s they really want to do so they always ignored all the warnings related to it and focus only to the positive side so that they will have the reason to gambling at peace and motivated.

They will just start considering the opposite side advice when they are already experiencing losses because this time realization will enter to their mind. But they will just keep repeat the process once they already have a fresh mind and money ready for gambling. Logic thinking is not present anymore once a gambler wants to gamble already.

Just as we have expressed our concerns about certain gambling advertisements serving as potential triggers, I have observed and I think that there are gambling proverbs or quotes can also play a role in influencing individuals. Look at this Chinese proverb, "If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are." From this proverb, it can spur a regular person to explore gambling as a means to test their luck and become hooked. Also, the person who has been gambling will want to continue gambling while being hopeful that someday they would eventually be lucky and hit the jackpot.

What other proverbs or sayings could potentially act as triggers, enticing individuals to initiate or perpetuate their gambling activities?

Anyone who gives excuses for bad habits is irresponsible and doesn't have the guts to address the issue it self, that proverbs could also be understood in another light that means you should try to take risks, besides any risk is a gamble and uts 50/50 and it doesn't have to be casino gamble or sports betting, so we should try to also control ourselves with the kind of risk we take and not give excuses to other things.
You're absolutely right that risk taking isn't always a bad thing or a negative action, but the problem there is people fail to understand that no all risks are worth taking. That's why it's very important for people to master risk management, whether in gambling, trading or any kind of investment. People should always acknowledge the potential consequences of every single risk before going ahead to take em and also make sure that every single risk taken is well calculated, and not just taking them because of the positive outcome of the risk, it's important to also calculate the negative impact too, this will help to know exactly what amount of risk one should take.

You’ve got a point about how certain proverbs or sayings can seem to push us towards gambling. But you know what? These phrases aren’t just about gambling. They’re like little nuggets of wisdom that can apply to all sorts of situations in life, not just when you’re deciding whether to place a bet.

Even we do say about not about gambling on which it would be always better that you should really be that basing into your own decisions and goals in life and never intend to reflect yourself on others success because it would really be just that derailing you into your own plans that you have set earlier. Dont believe into sayings but well it would really be just that depending on you since we do have our own mindset and will in regarding about possible decisions that  you could make along the way. It would really be that something that needs up for you to have that kind of decision making
on which you do see which one would really be beneficial for you.

As for gambling, then it is really just that for the sake of fun and not something for you to make it as a source of income. You are just basically making yourself that
putting into such risks whether getting addicted or would messed up finances.
You're spot-on about autonomy. Owning your choices, not just cloning someone else's blueprint; that's where real growth happens. But this whole judge for yourself idea is a warzone. Everyone's got their two cents on how to live, but you're the one steering this ship
Now, gambling can be harmless fun... at first. But the line between a good time and a black hole is thinner than you think. It's not just about losing money, it's about losing control. This stuff can wreck relationships, tank your mental state... you get the picture. That's the real gamble; letting the game dictate your life. Remember, casinos aren't built on winners, and if you're not in command, you're playing a losing hand
Well said mate.
Gamblers that be in control of there gambling state tend to perform more than others.
I don't see or consider such proverb to be a trigger that would lead one to gamble, Proverbs are sayings with deeper meaning than  actual word used. For me one can be lucky at anything and gambling isn't a test place to check if you're lucky or not. You win by chance and not any thought or illusion of luck.
This is worthless for those that don't gamble, but to a gambler is a pill to keep him motivated in the quest to see how lucky he is. In essence only a gambler will get triggered by this quotes and this is far more different from promotions. For simplicity Promotions is targeted at having more customer base promising them with unrealistic bonuses and incentives whereas Proverb is mainly used to balance up by gamblers and having deeper meanings that illustrate and directs.
Proverbs or sayings would really be just that able to trigger you out on playing even more because you are projecting yourself that you could really be able to do it if you are trying to chase up something or trying it out whether it would really be working or not. Just like on what most people been saying on here that there's no such thing that could really be able to influence
on how you do bet or on how you do gamble generally because you are trying out to follow a certain idea on which this is something that would really be that bringing out those kind of
behavior on which it would really be causing up that huge disaster towards your gambling activity.

Never ever make yourself that following into those words or sayings because luck factor isnt something that could be influenced or something that could really be altered out.
It comes naturally and results or outcomes are the indications whether you are lucky or not on a particular day or moment.

Mate you need to clear me are you saying that Proverbs can trigger you to gamble?
If idea is subjective to a person how then can proverb influence someone to risk or try to practice a particular quality through gambling?
If you are judging from a stance that outcomes are indicators of how lucky we are on a particular day or moment what then is the importance of decision before placing your bets, and not placing randomly?
What triggers you to gamble?
Is gambling a place were we try out life qualities with money?, so some just gamble to learn it, when did gambling sites turn to Human development centres?

We need to understand the fact that in as much as we gamble we own and control our system (skill, believe,  risk, money, idea) which is subjective to us, those that then to lose lack this power of ownership.   
I know this has been a great debate between different school of thought but the fact remains if the outcome of our bets are unknown, but still we decide how we want to go about based on the chance of winnings in the casino, game or sites then I win based on that chance present. I know we might be  lucky, considering it in this context is avoiding a devastating experience but the experience you already know about, operating based on your leverage how then can you still escape it while in the system.

This is exactly what the crux of this thread is.

Proverbs can be twisted to fit you own narrative and that is why they are very deceptive and should not be used without simplifying the facts - someone may just misinterpret it and do the wrong thing.

Some people are too lazy to work hard or fight for their passion - these proverbs are there to motivate them and not make them gamble even if the word "luck" is used. Because just ask yourself, is luck only applicable to gambling? Or to every other aspect of life?
