Do you stop gambling in a time of crisis?

[peter0425]

Guys, in moments such this we are living, with a crisis just ahead of all of us, do you stop gambling?

So, what's your opinion?

There is no reason to gamble while in crisis IMO thus my answer is yes. Gambling shouldn't be prioritized while in crisis since at this moment you should manage to always prioritize your needs and what is needed to be done in which gamble shouldn't be included as it can make you worsen your situation in this kind of difficult situation.

and this is the practical ways of engaging life when we are also in gambling,we must set our priorities and make assurance of them to have foods in table and not you sitting int able to gamble.

I hate to admit it but on the time in which I am in a crisis I have already stopped on gambling or playing and focus on the problem that I have especially that the problem itself is because of the money so I have been able to stop playing and gambling just to secured the money that I have been getting from my job as a salary or fruit of my hardwork in order to sustain the needs of my problem on money.

why you hate to admit it?you must be proud that you prioritize problem like crisis than gambling and this is what a good person will do as i believe gamblers in bright mind will do as well.

I am not stopping anytime, besides I am not gambling for a living or I am not a professional gambler, with crypto gambling even a small amount of money it could already give us some real entertainment, so probably I'll reduce the amount I'll risk in gambling but will not definitely stop.

[Natalim]

Gambling has been part of my day to day activity, and my job is online particularly in the crypto space so there's no way I would stop gambling although if time comes that I won't be earning a good amount of money. I understand that there is a crisis, but spending money in gambling is not big enough for me that it would affect the budge for my needs.

[LogitechMouse]

Even it is crisis time or not, I choose to stop gambling for some reasons.

One is that, gambling isn't my main priority when it comes to my expenses. Gambling is part of my expenses if I'm gambling and there are better things that I can put my money with instead of gambling so I choose to stop it. Second is I don't win in gambling. Yes there are times that I win but after few days, they will get it back from me . Third is lack of funds also.

Anyway, for other gamblers out there maybe they will just gamble if crisis is coming because they already set a budget that is intended for gambling only and they can't live without gambling so they will choose to gamble.

In my case I have to admit that I will stop for a while.
When I see some crisis or a decrease of my salary (I have my own business), I immediately cut some stuff and gamble are one of the first I stop, like going out and trips too

So, what's your opinion?

I think this is normal and part of life
In any situation we find ourselves we must survive, but for me. Just as u do u reduce my gambling budget in the face of an emergency situation.

So it's best to have to gambling budget, with which you are able to ascertain if you are in loss or profit

Personally, I just gamble for entertainment during my leisure time and I know my own limitations, that's why it was easy for me to control or stop myself whenever I want. Anyway, if ever I'll choose to waste my money on the things that I need than I want. Gambling won't give me any assurance that the outcomes is good, so I will not take that risk, especially that there's a crisis. It is much better to save it than waste it on something that is a high risk. I just don't want to end up feeling remorse with regards to my own decisions because I know that in gambling, you either win or lose. It just means that you have no other choice but to accept the consequences.

[Ryker1]

Well, don't wait until a crisis comes or not. If you dont have a budget on gambling perhaps that is the time to stop and dont wait for anything else. Every time for me is a crisis and every single penny I have I save it for my future and I gamble once I have extra money but it is seldom. Gamble if you are happy about it --but if you here just to hunt and chase money that is not good for you. It's really crisis if you lose a decent amount of gambling.

If you can minimize and keep the entertaining part then it's good for you. There are people out there who manage to deal with this kind of situation and they still find time to enjoy and not to waste more money. The moment you mistakenly overused your fund it will harmed your savings and you need to get rid of this vice.

Honestly in time of crisis, gambling would be the last thing I can think about. For example, there has been some stuff going on in my nation recently and I didn't even think about my work let alone gambling for a while because I wanted to make sure everything was alright and we will stay alive and survive it.

So, I even changed my location and moved to a safer and more calmer place where my parents lived, it was harder to do my work there (thank god I am a freelancer) but in the end I had to come back home and thankfully the crisis was reverted as well and I am fine right now. As you can see the "crisis" we talk about could have levels, sometimes its small and we don't worry about it but when it is HUGE we not only forget about gambling but we only think about surviving as long as we can.

In times of uncertainty people have the tendency to become way more cautious about the way they spend their money, it is a natural reaction that protect us in the case something does indeed happen, this in return has the effect of slowing down the economy and this can be dangerous especially if the crisis we are talking about is an economic one and it is why governments spend so much time and money to try to recover the trust of the people and begin to spend outrageous amounts of money to do so.

I do not stop gambling when the global economy is in crisis right now (because of the effects of the Covid-19 virus), I will only reduce the allocation of funds that I put for gambling.  the price of staples (sugar, coffee, and spices) in my city rose 50% from the usual price, so I had to really be able to manage and maintain family money..

If i would really experience a crisis in my life that i could have a financial problem or i could have a lot of debts. I would definitely stop playing gambling because my problem would become worst that i could literally destroy my whole life, if i gambled the last money that i have.

[mu_enrico]

If "collecting faucet" on freebitco.in count as gambling, then I'm still gambling despite the crisis. I think I will stop the serious one for a while since my income will be affected by a bad economy.

For those people who can still handle the problem, surely they will stop doing gambling to began working on other effective solutions. But for those people who don't have any choice how to get out of that financial problem, there is a big chance that they will consider doing gambling just to hope they will win big. Not just that, aside from doing gambling, they will also consider those illegal methods just to get out of the problem.

Honestly, I can't even say what will I do if ever I will be in that situation.

Generally, there is no definite answer for this since it depends on how heavy or worst the crisis is.

If you can stop gambling for a while until the crisis end, you will be able to manage your funds for your family, so you will know how much money you have for another thing. But if you still gambling while you don't know how much money you have, that can make you still playing gambling, and perhaps, you will use all of the funds to playing gambling. But that is up to you because only you will know how to manage your funds, especially if your family needs to buy your daily needs.

If I were to answer this 10 years earlier, I might say I will not. Though, as of today, I can easily say that I will. Given that I'm already a family man , I'll be prioritizing my family over my personal satisfactions. This I think is the smart way to save money, spending money only for the basic necessities.

Gambling industry will always be there, no matter what happen. This crisis could still be an advantage for these Gambling investor/owner, Given that there are still people who can't control there addiction and people that wishing for a Miracle to happen by way of gambling.

Definitely, you should stop. Most especially if you're as student, you have family to feed for, and if you're not financially stable. Don't take gambling as a source of income because the money there is uncertain and hard to obtain. I knew a lot of people who are addicted in gambling and then they are miserable now because they think that gambling will change their lives. The solution for that is instead of gambling, other option is to invest a business so that you're money will circulate and be manipulated properly and at the same time, earning profit. In a time of crisis, no one should become more confident about the money they have because there is a possibility that the only money you have will still disappear on your hands. I advice you to think properly and include the people around you and the environment that you have as your basis in your decision

Generally, there is no definite answer for this since it depends on how heavy or worst the crisis is.

Crisis is a crisis, no matter how worst it is, crisis is still a problem that we need to look for a solution. Everyone in the world experiences it and there are no difficulties about that. Seek help for the people who are wiser and knowledgeable about that kind of circumstances.

It's getting tough nowadays, the geo-political issues is beyond repair, the oil wars, the corona virus scare, then there are still trade embargo as well.

So I guess everyone should do some sort of cost cutting, we need to save as much as we can (although I'm sure majority of us are hedging our "wealth" into crypto). With the corona virus scare, I stop playing on physical casino, still play will little amounts in online though, but now I put more priority on how to save and put food in the table for my family.

yeah for a while because there are no permanent crisis also,this will last weeks or months but not more than years because if does?then surely you are lazy to find work.

[fudster]

In time of crisis, its probably best to stop gambling but it will be with someone's perspective. There could be people who will gamble their last money hoping they will win their bets before finally stopping. The worse of course if he lose it all. The current crisis right now isn't yet turning to its worse so its still fine to play around as long as you are not breaking rules, making your family dysfunctional and most importantly you spend money that you can just afford to lose.
