Decisions for a better life

[Ucy]

I would never pursue a career of successful gambler because I'm trying to eliminate uncertainty, as much as possible, from my life, and there is a lot of uncertainty in gambling. If you have wife and kids, you are no longer risking by yourself alone, but you are putting all of them at risk. A family man just can't rely on something with so much chaos in it as gambling.

That's pretty safe, but if you have the skills, aren't you gonna invest on it?
well, I get your point, not every gambler are willing to take that journey due to its risk level and even if we really tried our best, there's no guarantee that we will be successful in the end. I don't know, maybe it's just me, until now, I am still looking for ways to improve my skills and to be consistent as it has been a dream of mine to make big money in gambling, which until now I can't still find a clear path to walk.

Gamble according to online dictionary:

1. play games of chance for money; bet.
2. take risky action in the hope of a desired result.

The first one do not properly define gamble. I prefer the second one.
People do not realize how often they gamble in life. We take risk always for desired result. But we have to work harder and be well prepared to lessen the risk.
I believe the most skillfull/knowledgeable ones could earn a living from what the less-skillful or less knowledgeable termed gambling or random.

I prefer safe games though.

Better to gamble on things that earn you a living, in my opinion. Example, you own a successful farm and occasionally gamble on weather/rainfall or bet on competitive online farming(stimulated farming) games

Gambling is only for fun, I don't call myself as an addicted gambler, so I will probably stop gambling if I get to the point where I need to choose between my family or gambling.

You cannot really replace one permanent thing with the other that is less important such as gambling. Gambling may make you rich and wealthy but, you still cannot replace your family. Family is one's true wealth, even if you ain't got nothing your family will help you get by everyday and that makes someone truly complete.

family is the only thing that we cannot afford to lose guys,never forget that everyone will leave us but not our family,they will always keep tracking our activities because they are concern about our living habits.

i am afraid that i will choose gambling towards my family because i would rather lose everything in this world but not them.

But actually there are people who do exchange up their family due to their gambling addiction.Its an awful thing but people already done it without even
thinking carefully on whats the importance of their own family which they're always on your side in bad times and good.Life do works on that way and
if you are willing to exchange it with gambling then its your choice.

This depends on my career and if my gambling career is soaring high, I'll choose it. I'll earn as much as I can and then save for retirement and enjoy it with my family. They are my family so if I'm at the top of my career and I can make a huge bucks out of it then why shouldn't I allocate my time for it for the time being and when I'm done, I can share it to my loved ones. But if my career isn't really that good, family definitely is of the top choice not just for me but for everybody. But I don't think I'll come up into this situation. 

[swogerino]

Even if I knew I would have a brilliant career in gambling still this does not justify to exchange your family for it.A family is a family in every moment which requires support in every moment and you cannot say I will go just to become a star player and then turn back and expect things to be the same,most of the cases they are not so I would not risk my family for anything.

[salad daging]

a pretty difficult choice, not a career like this that I was aiming for, just gambling online as usual and my wife allowed it with certain considerations. if it had been intended since the beginning, I would have even existed at the casino every day and bought a house not far from that place. Many things have changed since choosing to have a family.

We all know that being an addicted gambler is a very tough spot in our life, but what if you need to decide what to choose, your addiction or you family? i.e., the given situation will be that you need to decide on the spot if you want to pursue your "career" in gambling or make a good simple life with your family? what will you choose?

We all know this is not an easy question to an addicted player since addicted player's mind is clouded and cannot see things clear.  But I can say, if it is a career that will bring benefit for you and your family, why choose from the two?  Living a good simple life is just a wishful thinking. We all know we wanted to give the best to our family.  If your career(means of living/ job) is on gambling, and it gives  you and your family a good way of living, why stop it?

Yes, you can try to put some order in it by sharpening your skills and inventing various strategies, but that should be done for entertainment purposes only. The welfare of your family shouldn't depend on your luck.

I would prefer family over gambling. This is because in the long run Gambling would bring more harm than good. Gambling is not preferable for some reasons that it might lead to addiction and hence loss of money. Family is to be kept with a person for his lifetime .A person could live without money at times but without the emotional assistance of his or her blood relations it becomes nearly impossible to survive.

If the time will come that i need to decide or choose if my career in gambling or my family. Of course, i would choose my family because it will be rude and selfish of me, if i will be choosing my addiction in gambling over to them. I will just pursue and have a good time with them because it will also be a benefit to all of us if will really choose my family.

Do you have to totally ignore your family when you're addicted to gambling? You should go home to sleep, of course, the addiction will have a way to influence your family's attention, but whatever you're addicted to should be lucrative enough to keep you paying bills and your family will agree that you're addicted to something fair and not foolish. Family is much more important, but it's not stupid if you're addicted to gambling. Just don't get too into it.

It is good to hear that you have preferred the decision of your wife over your personal choices. Gambling is not good to be kept as a career because one cannot predict what is going to happen next. Gambling is good only as a part time fun but taking it serious or getting into it with all your energy is going to bring you harm.

Making your family a priority over gambling is a good choice. Gambling is not worth opting as a career. It is not reliable because you never know whether you are going to lose or win. Therefore one must utilize his or her savings in accordance with the financial choices of familial relations .It is always a better option to seek the advice of your close relations whenever you are trying to invest your money into some productive activity.

[bitzizzix]

For me family is everything and should be a top priority for me, when compared to gambling, I clearly choose family because I am not an active gambler who in my opinion is not good for me.
Although gambling income for the family is not the best choice and in the end will lose everything and will have a negative impact on the family, and many families fall apart because of gambling because they often experience defeat.

But no one agree with it that gambling can be a source of income for the living of our families because in gambling we do not get confirmed income, in gambling sometimes we win and sometimes we lose so our family members cannot survive if we feed them some days and do not feed them the other days. Many people are saying that there are other people who continuously earning from gambling but we have not saw that case everywhere.

It's not always one vs the other man. Gambling is a problem only when you start to borrow money from others to feed gambling needs and get into debt trapt but if you learn to live your consequences of gambling losses and experience it while you become mature, then surely you will never have problem with it and won't have to choose it at the expense of something else.

Very important to learned and understand the consequences and knows the proper treatment within this activities before engaging in. Gambling addictions
is the well known bad effect of this activity but if you have good knowledge you'll be able to aware yourself to place limitation and remove any unrelated emotions to keep you far from greed and uncontrolled aggression.

[Sebas.tian]

I'll choose both. I will live a simple life with my family and gamble. Because I can't quit gambling so easily. Gambling is like an everyday job for me. But I will try to gamble less. However, comparing the two, I will give more priority to my family. Because family is everything to me. Without gambling, I can stay but I cannot live without family. So I will try to live an average life with my family.

Thank you

I will choose the family first before anything else because family is the last place to fall back to. I so much Cherish my family that; I will never use what belong to the family to another, all because I want to satisfy myself. My decision will be to embrace the family and never choose anything contrary. Life is delicate and should be handle with care.

[coin_gambler]

Of course, there's no debate and options here, it's always our families that's why we've tried playing to be able to give our loved ones a better future and hope for it. There's no way anyone can prefer gambling over their families, perhaps there's but a total idiot and a total gambling addict doesn't have self-control. To have a good life you need to know when to save money and when to gamble.

[Shinpako09]

Family should always be a priority. Actually, i've decided if I have my own family I will completely leave gambling wether i'm gaining a profit or not. It's not good if you have a gambling habit and at the same time a family, that will only cause into misunderstanding. But guess what I often see here in our community, those husband whose wives is in abroad often go to bar and playing gambling using the money their wives sent to them from their hard earned salary. I guess, priority depends on ones personality.
