Exactly! And as I also observed some of the people that maybe we can say "below average" people or poor are still gambling, I don't think it will solve their poverty.

And also consider those people who are gambling just to be entertain only. Family first before everything else, you should feed first the family before spending some of your money in a very risky way which is gambling.

This is what I realized after I spend all my money to gambling before, instead of giving support to my family. My mindset before was to gamble to double my money, if I win then that is the time when I will provide support to them. However, instead of winning, I lost so much money.

For now, I prioritize my family before gambling. I only spend a little percentage from my salary to gambling, I even provide support to my family before I gamble to assure that I have something to give to them.

Those poor people who spend all of their funds in gambling are not playing gambling for the fun. There intent is to change their fortune and help their families by winning something big. Their aim is right but way of working is wrong. Because if they lose in gambling, then the small money which they have with them will also be gone making their troubles more.

People who are addicted to gambling think less of their priorities. They always satisfy their urge to gamble even if they run out of money for food, family, their daily expenses and sometimes they even borrow money just to satisfy their craving.

  your families

Your wife will kill you if you allocate more on gambling, I only fund my gambling when I already allocate my family's basic needs, I'm not allocating big funds to gambling, just enough to keep me going and have some fun for at least an hour or two, that is why my family is supporting me in my gambling activities because know that I can take care of myself.

Gamble with only the surplus money you have - this is really easy for you to say but not for an addicted gambler. Most gamblers starts gambling with money that they can afford to lose. But, eventually they get addicted and starts gambling with whatever they have. Even if they don't get addicted, once they start losing, they lose their conscience along with their money. They now tries to get back whatever they lost but that ends up being a disaster. That is why I always suggest people who think they might lose control over themselves to not gamble at all even if they have money to waste.

We can't stop them because that what they wanted to do, and to those who've been addicted it won't happen if they don't allow themselves to fall on that situation. Self control can be applied if you're willing to take it personally, but it's not effective if a person isn't willing to adjust. That's making it harder to acquire, once you can't even manage your money for gambling needs.

nice iniative  . thanks for lecturing us that gambling is bad if its your going over on your limits   .  we should spend more time on our family because they are more important than gambling but its not bad to gambling if ever you have done your obligiations on your family    .  in my case i only gamble at night but in the morning i help my wife to do the house chores and also by doing her business in the store .  i also play with my child  . im only doing my job as a good husband  .

[swogerino]

I think that we all gamble a bit because it is in human nature to always ask for more and when we can’t get something we want we look for alternative solutions which are not healthy most of the time like gambling.
Anyone who gambled has crossed the line at least once before becoming more self aware.I only set aside for gambling a really low amount of only 25-50 dollars a month and I stick to it.All my payroll goes to support my family.

The reason behind it is that they are now just hopeless and trying out their luck if it could work for them to escape poverty. Though my own perception of the right thing to do is to not rely on gambling for personal living. You should only gamble if you have more than enough that you don't know where this money should be spent. But being poor and still approaching gambling will just make you poorer and poorer and will not do you any good at all.

You have a point with this. I feel pity for those people who are still gambling even though they don't have enough money to sustain their daily needs. I feel pity for those people who are considered poor already but still they are gambling hoping that their money will be doubled or tripled.

And also consider those people who are gambling just to be entertain only. Family first before everything else, you should feed first the family before spending some of your money in a very risky way which is gambling.

FAMILY FIRST BEFORE GAMBLING!!!!

My quote IRL . I don't have my own family yet at this moment but I want to make sure that my family will live with good health and everything before I have my own and that is why I don't gamble too much because of this. Once or twice every 2 weeks is enough already for me .

[gabbie2010]

 I never toy with the money meant to cater for my family and probably use it for gambling this amount to taking a risk beyond my control, this is absolutely uncalled for, I only gamble with as little as 5% of my total income thus I wouldn't bother in case losing my bets, it is a pity reading stories of people using their whole lot monthly salaries, selling their houses etc to gamble after losing they resorted to committing suicide, gambling should an extra source income played for fun.

[nydiacaskey01]

This is the reason why there is a saying "gamble only amount that you can afford to lose". Yes I agree with "family first before anything else". But let me ask you this, how many of you are doing other vices like smoking? I know a cigarette is less expensive than betting online but look, you are still spending something that is not going to help your health, not going to help your finances, not going to help your family, but yet you still do it. There are other expenses that we can take away from our life but we still keep it because for us its ok, another example is Starbucks coffee, I am so guilty of this, I can drink coffee without spending $3 a cup but yet I still go to Starbucks. If I can afford to lose 5% of my salary each month in gambling, I guess that's ok than doing something that will not benefit my family as well.

[Genemind]

This is definitely true. Wrong decisions could ruin not just ourselves but our family as well. We should know how to put a limit especially when it comes to the number of funds that we're spending on gambling. We should allocate enough for our necessities first before we allocate something for gambling because there's still no assurance that we can gain a good profit through it. If we'll not control our emotions and discipline ourselves, we'll regret things in the end.

because this is the main reason why people fails in treating gambling and same as reason why Greed always win and this fight.

imagine how good is our gambling habit if we know when to stop and when to conitue playing right?

People who are addicted to gambling think less of their priorities. They always satisfy their urge to gamble even if they run out of money for food, family, their daily expenses and sometimes they even borrow money just to satisfy their craving.

So if they give priority to gamble over their families then what will be the future of such persons ? Ofcourse their wife will leave them and the future of these children will be dull. I feel bad about the people, who suffer because of one man selfishness wish to keep on playing gambling even if he is losing most of the time.

[sunsilk]

In short, be a responsible gambler. That's the point of OP and to avoid those unexpected consequences of a gambler's shortcoming, you should be more prepared of it and you know what you're doing.

There are people that keeps on telling that gambling is bad because they only see it as a bad habit due to the person involve can't control himself. But as long as you can sustain yourself, your family and you are not neglecting your responsibilities, I think you're okay.

[CodyAlfaridzi]

I don't have a family (yet) but I'm self-responsible for my own finance. I only spend on gambling when I have extra money, only small amount, maybe just enough to buy some new clothes. Thankfully gambling has never lead me to a financial problem.

So if they give priority to gamble over their families then what will be the future of such persons ? Ofcourse their wife will leave them and the future of these children will be dull. I feel bad about the people, who suffer because of one man selfishness wish to keep on playing gambling even if he is losing most of the time.

No future of course. I hope nobody here is addicted to gambling to the point that you neglect your family.

[kotajikikox]

my family is always been my priority and never been a gambling take any part of money if reserved for them.
but since i have some other option to gain money(aside from my investments here in crypto)so i can make some amount to spend in gambling.

i allocate at least 30-100 dollars weekly depend on my mood,sometimes not even a cent spent for week but sometimes it exceeds to my maximum budget when i am still enjoying.
