[What IF] Part 1

[cabalism13]

Original Title: If Gambling Doesn't Ever Exist, What Will You Be Doing Right Now?

Oh hello, we already know that Gambling existed for a very long time. Just what if, it didn't exist? Do we really expect all of these companies to be working on trading platforms? Mining? Video Hosting? Etc... Do we really intend to be good citizens if this were the fact on our life?
Don't get me wrong buddy, this is just another What If... We already know that Gambling already helped countless of people worldwide. And this might be impossible to be gone, so let's just start on this what if

I will work according to my education and expertise in a company or in a government office. This proves that without gambling people will know how hard it is to get money with a lot of real work.

^ Quite hard to answer huh, gambling has existed even people before didn't discover fiat money. Even did not have a buying option and we are in a barter system gambling was already there. What if gambling doesn't exist? Also, sports and games did not exist that possible on having matches and we can have odds per match. Nevertheless, gambling has start in 3000 BC ago and until now there is evolution of those games that we can make odds. Probably you are curious when gambling start and until now it has existed. https://www.gambling.net/history/

If there is no gambling exists then people may find a way to spend their money on other way,it won't change any other thing in humanity,IMO.

I am not sure gambling helped countless people? Because people who lost their life in gambling versus won in it will be 99.9:0.1

Well, might be. Besides there are a lot of us people who also spends our whole salary just for a single thing especially in this times where smartphones are always on the top trend. And in my case, if it really didn't exist, Maybe I've been spending it all for the continues upgrades on my pc. Would also be having an ROG phone right now LoL.

.... what if

if gambling doesn't ever exist, i don't know how i ended up right now. My first time know about crypto was because of gambling site. I was gamble on a site which already turned scam now, from that experience i've know about bitcoin and other crypto. After that, i started to know about bitcointalk until now (thanks for gambling though, it doesn't always give you negative thing)

This topic sounds like not having any in-depth contribution to gambling industry nor for a gambler but will definitely turn a spam magnet. Most probably might get deleted by mods. I am sorry to mention this.

^ We are in gambling discussion and we are discussing about gambling. Probably it will turn to magnet spam but if I am the OP after it will reach 5 pages I will lock this thread for possible spam magnet happen. This is quite an interesting topic and quite something new to my eyes here rather than the thread that has redundant replies and almost a month still keeping up for spam replies. I am right?

^ If.... gambling did not exist we are not promoting and wearing a gambling signature code now and did not got a small reward and consider an extra income.

I wouldn't have lost a big amount if gambling hasn't existed. Also, I would've lived my life without pressure as now. What I lost through gambling now stands in front of me as debt and loans. My earnings were going on as interest for the loans and the debt caused out of borrowing. With hope moving forward, someday I'll get back my old days.

There is a lottery in the Philippines named PCSO lotto and the funds that they will gather will partly will go to people that in needs. They are donating to people with cancer, in need of blood and many more.

Probably if gambling didn't exist in the first place, there could be no inspiration for some people. Look, it may sound odd or irregular to you but there are some people that adore people that won a lottery. Sometimes, the lottery could really change the way you perceive life, which means it changed many lives. I'm not talking about lottery only, I mean gambling in general.

For me, if gambling doesn't even exist, we will just be playing and entertaining our self. Gambling is wagering of money or something that has a value. But gaming is a different story; also, if they're a no bets in a game, it would like to be a sports game that your main goal is to win, entertainment, etc. Also, most tradition, games will be different if it genuinely doesn't exist.

The most curious thing is that how did that proposal come to your mind? Even when I was child, 6-7 years, I was saying, let's do it in exchange of something and etc or if I win, I'll get it and something similar. So gambling is very basic thing that can come to your mind, I can't imagine that situation where it doesn't exist, it's like saying that imagine that music doesn't exist, what would you do.
Btw that question may be asked to casino owners, it will be interesting to hear answer from them.

People wanted to get updated themselves with latest devices and gadgets but we are actually not,only those companies making profits and we are just stuck in the same financial status.But eyah that is the place where we wanted to spend more money including myself other than that I would like to spend portion on my auto mods and for pets.

You are wrong and right at the same time. Unlike you think, gambling is a more of a psychological game as its consequences are affecting gamblers in more in the way of mentally addicted to gambling. Hence, this kind of topics will help anyone to analyze themselves which may help them to undo their mistakes. I believe these kind of topics are very much necessary for a gambler to relax so that they could plan up further like what if they have not been into gambling.

You are right in the sense of feeding spammers but mods are too active these days to catch them. But, for the reason of becoming spammy topic, we cannot ignore this kind of gambler psychology related topics.

if I am the OP after it will reach 5 pages I will lock this thread for possible spam magnet happen.

A perfect solution for keeping this sub clean as much as possible. As per many camp. managers, writing to a topic which are having 100+ topic is a spam. But, after considering a lot of new people are joining to this forum everyday and participating to the hot topics, I guess 10 pages or 200+ replies could be the future definition for preventing spam .

[harizen]

Do we really expect all of these companies to be working on trading platforms? Mining? Video Hosting? Etc...

In the first place, since there is no gambling exist, then yes.

Companies will work on other subjects and services just like as we see it today.

Do we really intend to be good citizens if this were the fact on our life?

There are surely other forms of entertainment that might exist if gambling doesn't exist.


Honestly, I'm having a hard time putting the situation to "what if" if we have to talk about gambling doesn't really exist in general. I mean, yes it's impossible since even back where any physical forms of money don't exist yet, some of the activities are associated with gambling already. For example, a simple barter trade between tribe to tribe, country to country, region to region, island to island etc. - these trades happened because other parties want a good product in return and that's already a gamble since it's a win-win situation if a certain party will really get a good product.

My answer above is based on a certain country or location that gambling is strictly prohibited and illegal. I hope I get the picture of this thread.

Same thing in my mind, This can bring back some memories to the gamblers who quit for good or the one who will try to avoid gambling. Basically, there are thousands of people that lost their assets on playing such money staking games and this thread will make them realize what if their gambling didn't exist and what could be their life now. Its the same as the winners that changed their current life situation.

100+ replies are enough, As long as this thread is viewed and defined the purpose of this thread.

edit: Fixed my post format

I would rather send my feedback regards on what the topic is,...  instead of trashing anyone's thread. Have you seen this kind before? Oh hello.
Then what shit do cares about discussion on Gambling just to contribute anything. Come on, we never stay like this before. So instead of redundant replies from spammers this might be an interesting one. Besides I havent seen a single one on my threads gets to spam for I lock it before it happens LoL, except if it really is meant for continues discussion like this.

Why do you think gambling made us all bad people?? Being good or bad doesn't really depend on anyone's gambling exposure! So make sure you don't offend people by your comments!

If gambling never existed, we all would have done something else for sure! But we are good people now and we will continue to be good people even if gambling exists worldwide!

Very good, people will spend their money on holidays or shopping "IF" there is no gambling in this world.

Gambling really doesn't help a lot of people, it's just that people like gambling. With the aim of entertaining yourself, not helping financially. Maybe it helps people who need entertainment, so they play gambling.

[Chrystora123]

I don't count on gambling as income.. I currently run a small business in my city, and gambling is only my side income, if my mood is good I will gamble, so I don't feel lost even though gambling never existed.

I will work according to my education and expertise in a company or in a government office. This proves that without gambling people will know how hard it is to get money with a lot of real work.

It is undeniable that gambling is able to make someone become very rich in a short time, but make someone fall into poverty very short too.  the conclusion I got from what you wrote now, gambling is your source of income.  I admit.. you are very brave to take risks.

[Ryker1]

Well, IF... gambling does not exist we are the same as what we are. Life must go on even without gambling and live and continue as good people. There are many businesses aside from gambling where to spend your money just like trading and selling goods. Indeed, we have nothing to do since gambling was there and discover earlier decades passed. The reason why gambling until today has existed because people think it will help them and might alternate to their source of income.
