Worst Day of My LIFE - Dice

[supercanada1]

Is there anyone who won't ask you anything when you are going to borrow their money?

When I lent someone I usually ask them on what purpose you will borrow, or sometimes the borrower itself with say first why he would borrow.
However, a borrower can always make false reason, so if we lend money and we trust the person, we would just give if we have some extra money, regardless on how he spend it as its already out of our control.

If the person you are lending money to, has a habit of gambling then making this conclusion that he will be doing same with the borrowed money is not difficult at all. Only those persons who are near to us ask for such favors and help. In case of gambler friend, it would be best to not give him any money. If he claims he has to pay some debts, better would be to join him in this act. Lending money is a serious matter.

Gambling is not just what you damble into. Gambling needs preparation especially in the mind. A lot of damage could be done even unto death, it could lead to jail, high blood pressure, irrecoverable losses, even suicide if someone do it anyhow. One could be lucky to do it anyhow and still win(that's gambling for you) but if comes the other way round should also be planned. And borrowing money to gamble is not adviceable, you should gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Gambling makes us addicted, especially if you've been given a win once, usually someone will be curious to be able to win back. But instead of the victories we often get, we're mostly lost. I have experienced that when gambling often, but thank God I have never borrowed money from anyone to gamble. So it is not recommended to borrow money for gambling. So if there is no money I just stay quiet and not gamble.

A wise and not greedy mindset is primary, but indeed as a gambling addict there will be thoughts of borrowing money to gamble even though it is only a small loan but over time it can become a habit when they no longer have control and because of greed which makes it worse.

Too ambitious to win a bet by doubling the value of the bet will produce two things. First we can win big and second we will fail miserably. Gambling is full of hope, but we dont realize that we have fallen asleep with the hope of victory. It is ok to bet, but if you cant control your emotions and thoughts, keep them away.
Often people sell valuable assets to bet, with the hope of returning capital and lots of wins, but many end in defeat and disappointment. Therefore, borrowing money to bet is not a good way to do it because it will only increase financial problems.

Borrowing money just to gamble is a stupid idea but if you really are a greedy and a revenge type gambler, you will do things like this to get your money back or to have some profits to bag on.

There are many gamblers who are getting many losses because either they don't know when to stop or they are not lucky at that time. For me, it is better if don't just gamble if you don't want to suffer the consequences gambling can give to you.

You'll always faced by hard choices in gambling.. even when you are up in profit.

Don't you think gambling is destructive most of the times? I can't see there's a lot of stories about gambling that have a happy ending , they are all either endless or terrible ending just like what op experienced.
That's the worst scenario... borrowing the money > get busted all > frustrated can't pay it back > committed crimes or the worse committed suicide to end the misery, I've heard a lot of stories like that , I wish we won't be one of them.

The damage that can be done if you'll engaging too much will go deeper, make sure you are mentally prepared and you are not going to spend
money that you can't afford to lose, otherwise, hte damage can bring you to many wrong decisions in life, to the point that you'll be ruining yourself.
Acknowledging all the potential outcomes will build your chances not to be addicted and not to make worse decisions like lending money for gambling purposes.

Actually gambling is not entirely bad, the bad is players. Stupid players will play greedyly and they will continue to try to play even in the worst conditions, like borrowing, well that's the stupidest thing. If the person playing is a wise person then they will make this gambling just a side to have fun and money is just a bonus, not a goal.

If you can’t afford to gamble, then don’t try It as simple as that and yet some people choose to take the risk without the plan b. If you are going to borrow to invest or for your trading activity then it will be fine but if you are playing it on a casinos, expecting for a return is not good it will be a sure loss. Lesson learned mate, you gamble with your money but don’t borrow again for this kind of reason.

It's not that easy to follow the advise though, specially if one is addicted and have won much in past the feeling to take a loan and then double it within seconds and then return the loan and having free money is kinda thrilling ans very hard to resist, and human greed defies every logic

I agree with what you said, Gambling is literally a very risky field to get money and it's not recommended to be honest. It could be addicted sometimes and I'm sure that anyone can be broken if he took it as a source of getting money. I usually gamble only for fun with my friends and I never took it so serious because I know the bad effects of it and I know how it's gonna be so bad when I start to think that it can be a source for getting money, in the most of case I'll end up loosing though.

That's the hardest part , you might did gamble for the first time for the sake of having fun but as time goes by without even you realized that you are gambling completely for the money... no more fun in it when you lost, everyone would admit been in that kind situation simply it's because the gambling nature tend to bring people into bad situations most of the times .

Stay away from gambling in the first place if you want to avoid risking your financial stability, it's destructive, affirmative!

Very good advice. It's safer if we play gambling only from the extra money we have. I mean not until we spend the money we have saved. Especially until the debt. I also do not understand why people want to borrow money just to gamble.Are they obsessed with winning or do they want to win big ?? Do not let gambling destroy our lives

Gambling with an intention of making big amounts of money is the wrong approach.  Only gamblers with this false thinking face devastating results like losing all the money and ending up in huge debts. The sad reality is, majority of them are victim of such beliefs. Gambling is just a game. Though it is not a game in itself but placing money on other games can do nothing else than entertaining for some time.

Many gamblers suffer losses cause they never think what would be the possible consequences that might able to face later. Borrowing money for gambling its a nono for me and I think most of us here think it the same way. Though it sometimes came into our mind of winning the jackpot can solve everything, pay our debts and make us an instant millionaire. It sounds like encouraging but what if we fail (again), this is what we should have to look by. Though borrowing might be good but not because we use it for gambling.

Those that borrow money to gamble either have a huge gambling problem or they are unable to see the consequences of their actions, gambling should only be done for recreational purposes, once you begin to try to profit from any gambling game that is when you begin to see problems in the conduct of gamblers, because instead of just accepting their losses they try to somehow recover the money that they have lost to the casino but since you have the odds against you the longer you play the more losses that you will suffer creating an even bigger desire to recover the money that they have recently lost.

Although you are right in regards of hedging your funds, I think when dealing with gamblers, we should care about their fate too. If you know for sure that someone wants to borrow money from you to gamble with it later, you better don't loan the money to them at all, with collateral or not. Maybe they will be mad at you at first, but they will thank you later.

It may go either way. If someone will borrow money from you to be used for betting and that bet won but since you did not lend him, he will definitely be mad at you. But either way, you should not lend to people who will just use the money for gambling. They are not to be trusted. Who will trust someone who does not have the money but still wants to gamble? That attitude reeks of lack of discipline and out of control gambling urge.

Sometimes it's easier to lend money to someone than to explain them why you can't (or don't want to) lend them money, but if you know for sure that it's for gambling you better take the trouble to explain that person that they are about to enter a very dangerous road, and that it's better for them to hold off. And it doesn't even matter whether it's a small amount or not. You just don't do that, you don't borrow money for gambling, ever.

That would be equal to adding fuel into the fire.

Right, I would suggest people not to give out money even if it is for the sake of taking chances on high rollers.

Borrowing money to gamble is equal to calling for the trouble on your own.

True it becomes a mental burden when someone whom who lended could not pay back and now you are having to hunt him for an answer.

First of all, we should never ever borrow money. That become a burden on its own.

For gambling specifically. We borrow money for different purposes and banks dont ask for the reason (usually). But between friends who gamble one should be careful about giving out money.

Secondly, if we do it anyway, we should not put it at stake. There is no fun in losing that money which you have to return. Pay the game when you have some good amount in bank or else skip it.

Its like teaching a person to fish and they will be able to feed themselves. Gamblers should know when to stop and not gamble anymore such that it does not affect their savings anymore.

Losing that money would mean you would lose a good friend and mind you friends are more important in life than money.

- That should never be done in the first place. Do not trust even a friend if you know that the money will be using in gambling.
- Yes, and now the friend of OP will have to think of this problem on how OP will pay him back.
- I agree, if it happens to me and I know that it will only be use in gambling, there's no chance that I will lend  money.
- gamblers should know how to control themselves. If not, you will end up having debts until you were not be able to repay them.

But you can stop those people who do have that kind of mindset where they do think that they might able to repay those loan or borrowed money once they do able to hit up some wins.

Taking a loan or borrowing money just to gamble is really a dumb thing to be done.You are indeed putting yourself into a deep trouble and if you dont like to be put up into that situation
then better not to consider this thing.
