Donating the Gambling profits

[SquallLeonhart]

When I decided to divide half of it to donate to those in need, it worked very well to stop the desire and greed to be more controlled.

That is true. When a gambler starts feeling their responsibility, definitely they will gamble consciously so that they could stop their gambling at their wish. Emotions cannot control a gambler who is gambling responsibly. You may not be necessarily having a responsibility for donating but your responsibility could be related to your family or your own health and wealth related too. That will work in a way so that you could gamble profitably or at least you may not lose big.

I have always thought of donating a part of it if I win that huge or my imaginary prize.

That is the wish of every gambler but fortunately or unfortunately gambling never let to fulfill our desires. When you are planning up to win big so that it could donate then you will never end up your gambling with profits. You are just planning up to make big profits out of gambling and donating from that is just a secondary thing. In my experience, that had never worked for me too.

I have read a lot of the responses in this thread and I think the best way to donate is to fool ourselves into allocating a certain monthly budget from our wages to gambling and donate even $1 to a charity or cause. This is of course only if you really have the urge to gamble as a method of entertaining yourself. Think about it like paying a ticket to the cinema( a few of them) and then after you got entertained and you still got some bucks left do a good in this world and plant a tree or help a sick person have an operation, etc. It's also good for the soul no matter how you got that money through gambling or from your wage or any other legal activity you've done.

Have you ever thought of donating the gambling profits to a charitable cause ?  Sometime people won a big lottery or very high amount of money from betting & gambling games.  Do you ever thought of being generous and helping the poor with this money ?

I have always thought of donating a part of it if I win that huge or my imaginary prize. Though I used to bet for the sake of buying something I necessarily need. Out of fun I somehow think though but sometimes I myself feel ashame at some point because I used to think that donating money out of gambling is a dirty money. But out of call pity because this anxiety of mine that urge me to donate specially to those who badly need dragged me time after time.

The conscience inside you that dictating that you are still doing good even the money that you used for donations came from gambling profits. Something that you arguing with your own-selves, taking the opportunities to help since you have spare money out from your winnings, sometimes
it's easier to let go even huge amount if the money came from a luck base gambling as your mentality that sharing will bring you another blessings.

Don't expect for blessings or any kind of return when you do donate.Do it with all of your heart without expecting anything and that's the true essence of donation.

I do see some people who do make donation because they are hoping for something in return.We might be different on what we do believe but
good karma do really comes after to those who do like to help the poor or to those who are in need.

It is important what a person is from inside and money being donated will help the needy people. However, if a gambler wants to help someone by money he has won, I would suggest to start from his own home. It would be much better to help some other gambler in debts and financially ruined condition rather than going out for others. Used that money in treatment of some addicts and save their lives.

That’s why I always laugh if someone is posting about criticizing others when they are saying that playing or gambling is a way of fun and why need to waste money if we are just looking for fun

Just like entering a carnival or like you mentioned cinema that you need ticket to enjoy the show or the rides gambling is way the same because you are spending money to have fun and there’s a chance that you might win but in cinema or carnival?whats the promise profit?

It doesnt matter actually on where those money came from and as long its being donated and really had that good motive
then theres nothing wrong with that.Gambling profits being donated its up to you either you would get it from your salary or just
focusing with gambling profits and as said above that if you do like donating then you wouldnt matter on where would be
the sources of those funds that will be given.

allocating certain amount for gambling is not foolishness but discipline i think,and for me this is one good way of helping our self not to turn addict because we can control our emotions from betting wildly with no specific amounts.
and i have known gamblers who's doing such same as mine and i can tell you that it is effective because i can be contented even only winning 100$ because i knew my capital is also smaller.but also indeed that donating 1$ is better than not donating at all

LOL! Why would I do such thing if you do know that those money would be helped out for those gambling addicts would still end up on using it to gamble once again?
You cant be sure if they would use it  for their such changes.What if that amount will be spent again ? So this wont really be that an ideal option for you to take.
Better to donate it somewhere where you do see that it need the most like charities.

Fair enough. Maybe that was not the right way I express my thoughts and yes discipline is a much better word for it. However the addictive gamblers don't stand a chance at being disciplined - that's why they have the addiction - because they can control themselves and their emotions, but I believe donating for a good cause may wake up something better in them that might change their perception of gambling.

Have you ever thought of donating the gambling profits to a charitable cause ?  Sometime people won a big lottery or very high amount of money from betting & gambling games.  Do you ever thought of being generous and helping the poor with this money ?

Not just thought, I am already walking the talk.  Once, I won a jackpot in dice totalling to 1 BTC (not that huge in a developed country but it is in my country)  I donated 20% of my winnings to a religious group to supplement their activities and  used the 10% in grocery package and gave it to those who are in need in my community.  The feeling of fulfillement is so addicting that I won't hesitate to do it again if ever luck smile at me again

[iamsheikhadil]

Absolutely. It's better to give silently without saying to anyone though. Luck if I believe in it comes randomly. Unless I really need the winning amount for something urgent, I do give and encourage others as well to give some part of it towards a cause. It's better than to just deposit the money again to win more and bust it. A child in NGO going to bed full without being hungry is priceless and all worth for the win.

I had been in touch with this line and yes that is true. Helping silently is a great achievement in your life. Those street children, once you give them something they will not forget you for the rest of their life. I will encourage others to this, giving to others will pay you also good health and life. I think a small amount that you give from your winning is not a big loss for you.

Yep! After all, we win to get satisfaction. But gambling never gives us satisfaction. After win, greed just increases. But when we help with the winnings for a good cause, it gives us that ultimate happiness and satisfaction. And that happiness can even override the grief of losing in gambling in next time.

This is really an amazing way to help those people who are in need of money. There are so many people who are not able to get proper treatments because they have no money so we can donate some part of our profit for them and allow the hospitals to help them out as well there are so many charities who takes donation and distribute the amount to needy and poor we can send our profit to them so they can use.

That is very good approach on this. Before helping others, help your own, your family or close relatives that are in need. Because more than likely, they were suffering from your losses before that big hit. Why not give them the right share. Charity organizations have a lot of donators. And to be honest, I will help my own family or relatives first before giving to unknown individuals.

If our goal is to help someone in need then even if i loss i would still donate some of my money or won't gamble and directly donate to the charity i choose. You are right, the feeling of satisfaction is different when you know that you have change someone's life in your own little way. Let's not wait until we win in gambling before donating to charity.

Have never win big to really donate some, but why not. If I win a lottery one day, I would first like to get my life on track, give some to my parents , help my brother with his studies and then if i am left with any, I wont mind donating it for a charitable cause. Good deeds never hurts and also gets back your good karma !

From my personal experience and understanding, I have seen people get into gambling when they are in sheer need of money and facing a financial crunch or simply want to earn more to fulfill their desires. I don't really think anyone will donate their winnings and rather spend on family/Friends if not completely on themselves. Nevertheless, donating would never hurt but I personally would help the poor get a job rather than just giving him easy money.

Have you ever thought of donating the gambling profits to a charitable cause ?

To think, to contribute a little profit from gambling to the poor, no.

do often, maybe almost every week, feed 5 to 10 poor people, like beggars, homeless people and also in the form of donations etc.

The income we get is not 100% ours, there are other people's rights in it.
