Do you stop gambling in a time of crisis?

[Twinkledoe]

We are experiencing a big crisis now with the corona virus, and I think its not secure anymore to go to the casinos and luckily we have a good alternative to have fun and to keep playing which is the online gambling. If the big crisis hits the economy of my country and the inflation rate goes higher, then I really have no choice but to remain at home, spend less and spend more time with my family. You have the choice to stop or not, but if its for your health and security better to stay at home.

I think this is true for those gamblers who are regular customers of offline casinos. But for those who are into online gambling, I don't think they will stop. And on my end, since I am a small timer gambler and just using extra money, I think will still play every once in a while. But will make sure that it will not affect my financial expenditures as with this kind of crisis comes with higher price of necessities and other things.

I was thinking of a crisis where there is something related to dying. That's the first thought that came into my mind. When that happens,  I don't think there would be any other thing on your mind rather than that situation only. Maybe if that crisis stems from that "gambling" habit that you have, then it would continue, right?

When there's a crisis, it's a normal response for everyone to stop things they do that is not needed or essential to limit the expenses. We stop gambling when there's a crisis because we tend to realize that the money we will be using for gambling, we can use it to buy the things we need to survive the crisis. We become more responsible on what should be our priority.

When there's an economic crisis or even health crisis, what we will be needing the most is our basic needs life food. So instead of using our money for gambling, we will just use that money for our needs. Everyone will do the same in order to survive. Does someone would even risk their money in gambling when they will be needing it the most?

[desertfox470]

You should have of course because it will lead to something that in losing more, come to think of it you are in a grip of crisis and you will gamble you will think of gambling to escape that crisis and if you lose you will do anything to recover your losses until you found out that you have nothing anymore.

We should consider gambling as an entertainment and we should limit our allotted money to gambling and always think that it will always not going to be a source of income it's a matter of win or lose.

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?

In that case a loser will have to stop gambling definently. There is no other choice when you don't have enough money on your hand. Everyone have their family and they have to manage it somehow, so gamble isn't something mandatory for life. But who are gainer and still gaining I don't think they will stop gamble on current situation. If incase more collapsed global economy somehow them a big percentage gamblers will have to stop gambling like you already stopped.

[xvids]

Yes of course it is better to conserve our money and spend it on more important things on time of crisis,
But unless you are loaded and doesn't care about the money at all then I guess you wouldn't stop gambling even on those times.

[criza]

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

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?

There are indeed more important things in our lives than gambling and making prioritization is a key importance for us to balance what decisions to make. When gambling, we should always look far ahead in the future or our next actions, not just thinking about what will happen in the present but anticipating the possible events that might occur to avoid risk and possible failures. When we think about it, life is not just about having fun like when we gamble but, taking responsibility to things in our personal being.

[Ucy]

You gambled regularly with your salary?
Well, you shouldn't have gambled with what you can't afford to lose, in my opinion. I will probably invest more in things that can sustain me during a crisis. If you plan things out somewhere, you wouldn't be too worried like others. I think people should be invest more in safe/important things more, and less on risky stuff. Things like food/fruits/vegs, decentralized crypto, small water filters, torch/matches/lighter, survival information, etc

[sheenshane]

That's right if you think you can't afford to spend in gambling it's better to stop for a while. For me, that's why I'm rare to gamble because there is always a shortage of my salary. I can't spare the fund in gambling because I know I have my priorities than gambling. So, that's a good and wise decision if you are going to stop for a while.

You can always back in gambling anytime you want at your convenient time and with your extra money without thinking about other problems. Because not all the time we had always money, there will time we encounter an economic crisis and we should be ready if we have our own personal savings.

[peter0425]

I already experienced this kind mate when i become addicted in gambling and crisis comes to my life and family.

but eventhough  I am in trouble?still i continue gambling for a while before my final decision of stopping to gamble.
so basically this is mandatory for every gambler but Only if we can do such move when addiction is still indeed.

stop gambling to make money,and just gamble to make life to have happiness Guys.

[michellee]

I will stop gambling when the crisis is happening because I don't want to do that while I believe that everyone will save their lives first and use the money to prepare to survive. Maybe I will leave gambling for a long time until the crisis ends, and I will try to survive as other people do, and if I can, I will not use the money to come back to the gambling games before I can fill my daily needs.

[imstillthebest]

you stop gamble but your going for a trip instead ? trip as in travelling ?idk if what i heard is corect but that is also costy and can be costy than gambling because of the fair when you commute or gas when your on wheels , add in other expense too .  

for me i also do stop if there is a financial problem but i try to gamble with tiny amounts sometimes just to feed my gambling apetite because i confess that im a slight addicted too now on gambling .  luckily it never leads to busting my own personal salary money  that is intended for more important use on the house

Those points that you had mentioned are not all investments but rather a need which is crucial for a human being need for him to live.
When we do see its already crisis then why would consider on continuing on playing if you do know that you can loss money?
Unless if these amounts are really intended or solely be used on gambling and wont mind if you lost it as long you do have spare
or savings which prioritizes your needs and other stuffs.It isnt necessarily to stop gambling but you should know on how to control
your funds if you dont like to have that hardship state when it comes to finances.

If one person gambles regularly regardless of how small or big the capital is, I don't think there will be an economic crisis that would stop them from gambling. So, I believe what you said is true, gambling once in a while isn't totally stopping.
The only thing I could think of for a regular gambler to totally stop gambling, is if he got seriously inflicted with a life threatening health issues such as stroke, that will deprive him from going to his gambling habits. But, an economic crisis won't really stop some of the gamblers.

[Slow death]

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

I confess that I don't see why people who play online would stop playing because of this crisis? So far as I know the games of soccer, basketball, tennis, boxing, handball and other sports are being played even though in some cases they postpone some games, then how this crisis would affect people who play online to the point where they stop playing online ? One thing to remember:

there are many football leagues, there are many sports, so people will always have things to bet even if some games are postponed. it will not be affected to the point of preventing people from playing online

[onrise]

Yes of course it is better to conserve our money and spend it on more important things on time of crisis,
But unless you are loaded and doesn't care about the money at all then I guess you wouldn't stop gambling even on those times.

Given that only we earn limited money it is more so important for us to ensure we are utilize for the best of our times considering the crisis time which is existing or foresee in the coming time. People are unaware as what could happen and how markets may tumble and existing job or business how it can be effected so wasting money now would be a dangerous thing to do unless people are wealthy and can manage to lose money and still they would be fine in coming time.

[Polar91]

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.

So, what's your opinion?

I agree with your choice. Gambling is not the priority for me. If the resources available are only enough for the food and other basic needs of the family, I would let go of gambling readily. I won't have to make a fuss about it. The truth is that I only gamble sometimes. I am not addicted to it that I cannot let it go if need be.

[alexsandria]

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.

I think you got it wrong or explained it in a not very clear way, I'm sorry.
 I said I stop betting and I also stop traveling or going out, these are the first things I stop when I have to save money
