Do you stop gambling in a time of crisis?

[Rengga Jati]

-snip- What's the difference? You are still doing gambling at the end.

Yep, it is no different. Both require funds to play. If he realizes in crisis or has limited money, it is better to stop both. Keep money for urgent or more necessary needs.

-snip- And I don't understand what do you want to happen on your last line.

Same here. He looked like writing in a bad way. The point of his statement seems unclear, so it is hard to understand. Let's wait for his response, he may have something as the reason.

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?

I do stop and I guess the majority of us will stop, especially if the crisis is as proportionate like what we are having right now, we are first going to monitor what's going to happen, what will be our course of action and check if everything is all fine before we decide to come back from gambling, of course, we are going to check from time to time if everything is still ok

[pixie85]

No I don't.

If we're talking about crisis in general it's no because I want to relax and not think about finances for a while. I hamble for the same reason I play computer games or watch movies.

If we're talking about coronavirus I don't care much for it. I'm young and healthy and I plan to stay at home for now so no viruses for me

Its just really normal for us to do such thing or act accordingly into the situation where we do experience.We do have our own will and knowledge on
how to handle or react into things.Why would proceed if we do see it that it would really be a problem later on? Unless if you are addicted that much
then you wouldnt care on what would happen to your life and just proceed on things on whats up to your mind which shouldnt really be tolerated on.

In this crisis I avoid to go to casino. But I wanna play gamble on online. I think it is safe for me. So, in this case we can build up new casino sites and where we can gambling & I request to add more new features to online casinos that are active.

May I know what kind of crisis you are talking about here?

You want to avoid a casino but you want to play online instead? What's the difference? You are still doing gambling at the end.

And I don't understand what do you want to happen on your last line.

He do particularly talks about physical and online ones.He do avoid on going to crowd but still continue to gambling thru online.
I do see this as a valid point and nothing is understandable on here.For now we dont have any choice but to play online
if we do really push to gamble.

No I don't.

There are lots of ways to entertain yourself or in times of being bored.Not only gambling will able to wipe out that boredom yet there are other indoor
activities will make you enjoy without going outside. Panicking wont help thats why we should think up clearly and not on a hurry to make yourself safe
from outside.

In times of crisis no gambler will put into gambling his or her full resources to the gambling because of their responsibilities from families.

It should be done by all gamblers but I doubt all follow it. Well, you are a good gambler if you still remember your responsibility to family in this situation. I agree to make a priority for family needs than spend your money on unurgent needs.

crisis are times we curb our essences in spending.

Yes, I do the same way. I make a priority on everything to use funds (money). Only use the money for urgent and necessary things.

[MCobian]

Right now the world economic conditions are in crisis, I also experienced it. So gambling is an activity that I must stop right now.
Because life must prioritize the most important things first, we must be able to make priorities that must be met first. But for
addicted gamblers may not stop completely, but it is likely to reduce the amount of capital used to play gambling.

[NavI_027]

Indeed, we should tighten up our belts and restrict ourselves on buying unnecessary things (at least for now) because we can't predict what will hapoen on next couple of weeks or months. Good for us if the virus will be eradicated faster but what if the scenario gets even worse? We will have a fund shortage if that time comes. This time, whether we like it or not, we should disciplined ourselves and set aside our addiction. But to be honest my hands are getting itchy now , I might say that I will make a deal if one of my friends ask for a friendly bet lol.

If the addicted gamblers who play gambling online, they don't stop gambling because they don't need to visit the gambling places, especially if they can cover their daily needs with another money that they already prepare. I think we are in crisis, but the country is still running, and people can work from home without going to their office. But it is better to stay at home and save our lives first so we can do another thing that we want.

This is a time for us to be little cautious as world economy is in turn moil and it will have a ripple effects in coming time . So each cent saved now is each cent earned and this would be useful during the time of requirement . Anyways casinos now are out of question as to avoid public places so it’s only online which people just have to avoid it and this would be also useful for those addicted people who wanted a reason to either curb gambling or want to reduce the frequency .

Stop gambling in crisis? I think that changes from individual to individual and from situations we are in. For me crisis is when I cannot focus on other aspects of life unless that crisis is melted down. First severe crisis means something like someone from my family is in a hospital and I don't have money to pay bills and in such a crisis if I am gambling then I would honestly believe my soul is dead.

Now, coming to crisis which are less threatening like you want to study further but lack funds in such situations saving money would never be too helpful although I strongly believe in saving money but you can't collect enough doing it, so I believe a loan is the best option.

Moving to even smaller crisis like you made some loss in your business and you are suffering from hard times, now this is the time when saving money and eliminating useless transactions can really help you and gambling is certainly one thing you should stop in such times.

Personally, here in Philippines there's a several cases of corona virus, and our main cities get community quarantine to prevent the spreading. I stop on gambling and instead, I stay at home to prevent on getting the virus.

I heard about the virus cases in your country, and that is also happening with the other country. We need to prevent ourselves by always care about our health and people who we love or in around us, so they don't get infected. Many people are staying at their homes too to prevent the virus. We pray that people who get infected with the virus can get the cure and can be together with their family again. We hope that soon, the government can found the vaccine so they can help and cure those people.

Wow, when I posted this thread, it was a small crisis, and than become a huge crisis, in entire world
Even Las Vegas is closing casinos and hotels: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/487766-las-vegas-resorts-closing-doors-due-to-coronavirus-spread

Sports gamble is practically over, there´s no sports being played and even Olympics could be affected

This crisis become a huge problem for all kind of companies, let´s hope this ends soon

So, what's your opinion?

I will stop and I believe most of us will also stop in times of crisis, we must put things in the right place first before going back to gambling like taking care of our basic needs, we have an epidemic now, so our basic needs is what matters the most after we have done it and sinceeach city has a quarantine or lockdown we can go back playing games but it should be limited so we can always be aware what's happening around us.

[mersal]

Yes for sure, because we have more important needs than satisfy our gambling needs at the time of natural and economic crisis.To be honest I am now spending money for buying important needs if the lock down period gets extended.Be safe and we can gamble any time.

[Sheriff Woody]

Like this crisis what's there to gamble on we use to see a couple of games to choose from now we are seeing games we have no idea about but if we are lucky esports gambling might be what we are left with but things are just happening way to fast and nothing will be left to gamble on.

[verita1]

I also think that the gambling industry will suffer in this crisis as well as any industry.
The consequences will come. Seeing it on the positive side in the midst of crises, opportunities grow, I had not seen that there was talk of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies so much like now.
So I think crypto space will have an important role in the recovery that we will make throughout the world.

Maybe we have stop gambling for a moment but we will resume it when we feel calmer because the game was designed for entertainment.

In times of crisis no gambler will put into gambling his or her full resources to the gambling because of their responsibilities from families.

yup family first before luxury and gambling is just a luxurious thing that must not be prioritized.

Personally, during the crisis I won't get close to gambling machine because of my responsibilities towards my family, they definitely need me to use my resources for the progress of the family and not otherwise.

and there is no way we can gamble because the Money we have is enough only or maybe a little short for out family needs because of the said Crisis.

During crisis, always stop my gambling because of its effect to harm the family, crisis are times we curb our essences in spending.

though i never had this issue before since crisis did not happen to my family so far yet i will not gamble when it happens.

[Hippocrypto]

I this hardest situation that we're facing right this times, we shouldn't take for granted all those possibilities that were going to encounter randomly. Regardless of life status whether you're rich or poor, crisis will affect everybody's daily task and activities. How much more when you're a gambler who usually do socializing with people at local places where there's gambling around us.
Refraining from this habit is the best that I can do for now, and many options will be done like using the internet as a form of another digital pleasures.
Online virtual gambling will always be recommended in order to control ourselves towards real life gambling.

[Shinpako09]

Probably not, I'm basically doing the same thing as usual simply because I only play gambling online. No matter what's the current market or economy situation, that doesn't stop me, unless i'm out of balance. We also have hoard of goods so nothing to worry and I really stay at home for most of the time even if there's no crisis. Also there are still some soccer games to bet on and other games, so the betting continues.

[Sadlife]

If i have spare money then yes. Fortunately my salary is based in online so there's no problem for me. This time and day is the most convenient for me to gamble because i literally got nothing to do. The city that i lived in right now is like a ghost city due to the fear of the virus, most of the stores, restaurants and entertainment businesses is closed.
