Can you trust a gambler with your money/savings?

[rodskee]

Why of all people in the world we are talking about gambler to be entrusting our money ?

Of course the answer is NO, there are many people that i can entrust my money but not with a desperate person(desperate because this i can call a serious gambler, desperate to become millionaire)

and also I am not a type of person that will let my money into others hand because I know that i can make my own for long term .

I wonder why one would think of trusting a gambler if he will temper with the money that he is in charge of. It is as keeping a fish with a cat and still not sure if the cat will eat the fish. When it comes to money a desperate gambler can not be trusted because gambling is a strong addiction that a desperate gambler can be tempted to use the money to play gamble if their is no other way to get money.

Sometimes it is about trust mate, maybe those who are involved are people with close contact in which they are not trusting the money actually but they are trusting the person.
but like what i said it is a NO still if i will be asked to trust my money to gambler , there are few things I consider  before investing and those are what made me profiting till now, i rather put my money in business and in other cryptocurrency than putting in gamblers hand.

Many of us are gamblers in one way or another and most of us know how to control our finances and even increase them through trading or investing.

I think it's not about whether a person is gambling, it's about how he treats other people's money. After all, other people's money (in this case, an organization's money) should not be exposed to risks. If a person does not understand this, then it is better for him not to occupy financial positions.

Questions for discussion
- Are gamblers eligible to hold financial positions?

Yes, Being a gambler doesn't mean you can't hold financial position but it depends on the type of person, I have a friend who manages a and runs every financial transaction in the betting Shop for someone I know up till now everything is running smoothly even to the extent when new shops were he was sent to go manage those shops until those shops start running smoothly , then he was returned back to manage the former place, that shows some gambler could be trusted to manage your money some gambler have good attitude toward handling money regardless.

- Do problem gamblers deserve a second chance to hold a financial position?

Everybody deserve a second chance in life if there is the need for such

It seems like you're asking two separate questions. Is this about someone working a job and potentially defrauding a company? Rather than trusting a friend on a personal level with your savings, which doesn't seem like a normal scenario that ever needs to happen. Why would you give a person your savings, when you know they have a problem with money handling? If they are a good gambler, playing with acquired skills, then they would never need outside funding from such a source and could build their own bankroll.

At first, he didn't know that his friend has a problem in gambling not until one time where he see him in a betting shop but if only he knows it at a much earlier time, he won't never entrust his money to his friend. His friend can still work with him but on a different role or on a different department where money is out of reach.

If his friend is a skilful gambler and can make money out of it, then I don't think he won't look for any other jobs but he will only use all of this time improving his skill in gambling as this is where his own passion is. When we love what we are doing, we don't feel that we are working anymore but we will only feel that we are playing.

in real life a gambler would not be able to trust holding a position as finance. it is very risky and the position will be used when the gambler lacks money to gamble. On average it is, but if you are a professional gambler, chances are you can still do your job as finance well. There are many types of gamblers from those who gamble for pleasure, as a necessity and addicted gamblers who end up losing continuously.

Everyone deserves a second chance, but the already troubled Gambler is better kept out of a financial position, there are many other jobs. Financial position will be very vulnerable to be misused.

Therefore, it would be better to give a little time so that the gambler can take back his financial position when he has really mastered himself from his thirst for money. I mean he accomplished some self-control from relatively more controlled gambling. But the fact is that it is not as easy as you think, there is no other way than to give financial management to people who are completely unfamiliar with gambling or are not interested in gambling.

It's safer to entrust the financial management to someone who isn't sidetracked to gambling so he could focus on doing his job right. It will be risky to trust a gambler when it comes to that job because we all know that gamblers will risk everything in the name of gambling. It's better to look for someone who is worth our trust than to put a gambler closer to temptation.

True life Story.
A friend i know recently narrated to me how his business almost collapsed due to trust he had for another of his friends who he thought he was helping by recruiting him to manage one of his Retail outlets. He narrated how having put him in charge of that point started observing a decrease in the the profit from there intended for savings and reinvestment. He confronted him severally to know what the problem was, but his friend attributed it to being ill and needing drugs, until one faithful day when he ran into him in a betting shop during working hours betting on virtual football games, how disappointing!

I can never trust a Panic gambler. I know a gambler isn't exactly a bad guy but it's hard to believe him financially. Because gamblers lose their instincts whenever they lose most of the time in gambling, it is unsafe to keep them in a financial position. But if he can control himself or not be a panic gambler then no problem can be trusted.

I think everyone deserves a second chance and we all have our way of determining if they're trustworthy with our money or not. Honestly, on me, I wouldn't give them my trust 100% and wholly if they're still addicted. But if seen that they've changed for a long time and they're trying their best to remove and have an abstained attachment to gambling, I think they deserve to have a second chance but as I've said, we all my choice, we all depend on whom we're going to trust.

I also think that everyone deserves a second chance but that second chance is only awarded to persons who have repented sincerely and are rehabilitated from a long time.For such kind of persons I may think that I can entrust some money but not all the money,I can test this person a couple of times and if he is correct then not likely but I may entrust him a bigger amount of money.No other person except this type deserves a second chance as we know that if he has not repented he will keep doing what he did before.

The same for me, I'll give my trust but it has to be sincere and not my entire savings to them. It should be proven that they've changed already and they can prove it not just to me but also to themselves.
Well, I wouldn't do any tests anymore but if they happen to do something wrong by any chance and it's related to the money that I've entrusted to them, then that's already enough.
