Don't bet more than you can afford to lose.

We always read the words "Don't bet more than you can afford to lose", but are we really following that safe principle in gambling?

So, I have a question here, if you are earning like $2000 a month, how much are you willing to gamble that you think you can afford to lose?
Please use the amount as a basis for your answer.

Formally, this is $ 50. 2.5 percent is insignificant and can be spent simply on entertainment. But if I save money on my other entertainments, that is, I strain myself very much as I make gambling a priority, then this amount can be increased several times.
But this is too simple an answer. In fact, not everything depends on the monthly income (maybe I am already a billionaire and can afford to spend a million a month even if "I make $ 2000).

I don't want to talk about losing because I always hope to win.

The amount that I can afford to lose is maybe $200, that's 20% of my total money income but it's not for a single bet, that's most likely my total bankroll. Maybe it's big for others but in order to be serious in gambling especially in sports betting, you also have to ensure to put a decent amount of money.

I do think that if a person is earning 2000$ we have to analyze other situations as well. What is his current economic conditions? Does he need those extra 200$ that be might be spending on Gambling?? Does he have a regular job? Is this job going to last long ? Is he saving up for something big?? Are the debts and credit card bills in check as well? Plus what kind of Gambling is he interested in ? The best would be to actually do something that requires skills or something like sports betting. Putting up small amounts of bets would be better as well. Gambling in things which does require skills would be more fruitful: like Poker, card Games!! It's not a straight answer honestly.

The affordability really depends on your income and existing liabilities. So there's no straight forward answer available for your question unfortunately. If you have a huge liability then you can't afford to loose money. But if you don't have liabilities, you can probably go ahead and spend 10% of your income for leisure activities.

So it really depends and varies from person to person.

And most important do you live alone or do you have family, a wife and kids! Than those $2k is not only yours, you need to share them on many things...
As other people said, it's not about your income, it's about expenses as well... what is left in the end! I have the luck that my crypto earning is extra money, and I am gambling only with crypto... so I can always spare some coins for gambling, which I am doing almost every day!

Well I guess for Gambling the same rules apply than for crypto investing in general. I wouldn't gamble all my money on the same bet or by investing all in only a single S**tcoin 
The problem with Gambling is that you can lose a lot of money very quickly, sometimes in a matter of minutes, so it's good to have a strategy planned out and stick to it.

That's just a small part of this one "Don't gamble what you can't afford to lose" so don't bet more than you can afford to lose is just a sub category as I call it. It's not just in gambling casinos that saying fit. Even in investing, trading and other ways that will put your funds at risk. I always put a little bit of my overall funds and divide it according to my budget. For example, my salary is 2000 dollars so, 10% is for gambling, 20% wants, 50% needs such as water, food and bills, other w
20% is for savings. Anyway, that's just an example for you me to explain it nicely.

Ok base on the amount you have provided, I guess there could be enough budget I could burn in gambling with that base amount.
Let's say, my necessities, bills, & other expenses is not more than $1,000 (that's my real life budget for these expenses). So, I still have another $1,000 spare amount to spend into something that I want. So, what I want to do is to put half of it into savings and another half to gambling.
$500 is more than enough of a budget in my economic state.
There are rich people like business man and big names in the government are actually gambling $20,000 in one occasion and above. That's actually a small amount for them, but not for me lol.

When you're earning that sort of money, depending on your outgoings (rent, food, phone, etc.) then you should probably be focusing your money into building a long term future rather than chasing money in casinos. If you're happy to lose it all, which seems slightly wasteful when you could build it into a much bigger amount over time, then you should probably max out at $50 per month. Maybe even just $50 every two months is what a sensible person should be limiting themselves to on such a salary. Unless you are a highly skilled poker player, or possess some other reliable gambling talent, then you are most likely going to lose a fair chunk of money over time and unlikely to make much back.

This has been a reminder for every gambler since then, we should always play at limit and know how to control ourselves, because in gambling too much is too risky. It I earn that much money a month, I’ll list down first my monthly expenses and savings before anything else, usually I ended up with no extra but if sometimes I was able to gamble for at least a $100 a month, not bad for a small time gambler like me and more importantly, I’m having fun with that.

Personally for me, when the income is around $2000 per month, this is a pretty big allocation. However, in making bets we as much as possible limit spending in a month. If it is calculated from the income of $ 2000 then what comes to my mind is to divide it 50% for savings, 10% for daily needs, and 30% for investing and the rest is enough for betting. Why only 10%, back to the first rule that bet according to what we are prepared to lose. So the saying above is quite reasonable and remains a principle for a gambler to avoid addiction. Then as a way to limit yourself from excessive betting.

The goal is to play safe With $2000 you should be able to afford to lose atleast 20% which is $200 each month while you spread your funds across other investment options. The gambling sector is always opened and any day could be your lucky day playing safe and keeping your stakes affordable and stress free will be best. Personally I can't gamble above 20% of my income as I understand the risk involved in gambling knowing too well it's a game of chance

I would just spent out $100 maximum for a month. Sounds too small? Yes, since this is the only amount which i could really afford to lose and wont tend to go
overboard yet there are lots of priorities in life which i would need to arrange it up rather than spending more just because you do have 2k per month?
I would say that this would really be just sufficient for me to save up for priorities plus minding about making out some business in real world.

^ I think it depends on status in your life if you have your own family (wife and kids) the allocation into gambling is probably less or almost nothing because your priority is them, not your happiness. In $2000 a month that you earned in your real job probably 2-3% on it I can afford to gamble but not every month I think. But if I don't have a family (not married) but I earned on that amount monthly, probably 30% on it I can afford to lose in gambling and probably more than that. In gambling, we should set a limit in ourselves and do first our responsibilities and priorities before those risking money, because gambling does not have a guarantee, it will win or lose at any time.

[Slow death]

I agree that you shouldn't bet money that you use for other things or money that would be used to pay bills. I've already happened to win a lot and have made a profit of 8X in just a few days, at the time I thought: "this kind of luck I won't have many times so I took everything I won and left only $120 " It's funny and then came the sequel of losses and I lost all $120 and had to make another deposit of $40 and go back to playing with a small bankroll and when all $40 is gone I stop for a few days until I have some extra money to play

[Yogee]

Here's what I have in mind ideally,
Fixed monthly income - Fixed personal savings = Expenses and leisures.

Betting falls under leisures in my book. I said "ideally" above since I don't follow it a 100% hehe.

The standards of each person are different however I spend roughly 10%  of my income on what I call luxuries, stuff that I do not need but that is nice to have and that bring me joy, so this will give me 200 dollars to spare according the the monthly sum you are using as a point of reference.

However I would not spend those 200 dollars just on gambling, after all there are many simple and little things that I enjoy, however I will probably use a quarter of that to gamble each month, which as you see it is no really a big amount as it is only 2.5% out of the 2000 available on the scenario you are bringing.

Monthly income - savings - investment - leisure and wants.

This is the arrangement when it comes on salary allocation on different or various parts and should follow it up if you dont like on ending up on being broke.
Manage your finances well and you wouldnt really be having a problem on sustaining yourself on living as long gambling wont
really affect you majorly.

I'd rather not have someone tell me what to do with my money unless I asked for it to be honest. What you said is good ideally but apply that to yourself first then start teaching it once you made it. What I mean when you "made it" is if you're no longer meeting weekly post quota to earn from signature campaigns.

Exactly, normally we will use this kind of advice, not only in gambling but also for trading and investment.
Losing is something bad that can make somebody feel stressed. That is why I personally think it is better to lose the amount that we can exactly afford, not to force at all on what we cannot afford.

if you are earning like $2000 a month, how much are you willing to gamble that you think you can afford to lose?

Again, as others say, it will depend on what each individual can afford to lose.
We can ensure that we will earn $2000 per month because this is gambling.
However, if my target is about that amount, but I am such a person who doesn't want to lose much, I will not bet more than $100 moreover per day.
Gambling is very risky, if we want higher-earning, we must be ready to lose more. That is why it once again will depend on you.
And please note that gambling will not guarantee you to get always $2k per month.
