In my opinion there will always be people who are not able to control themselves and this applies not only to gambling but also to alcohol, drugs, promiscuity and even sports. Those who don't see the line between responsible attitude to their health and their money will always get into unpleasant life situations and have problems. So the sooner a person realizes that he must learn to limit his desires, the stronger his health (both physical and psychological) and financial situation will be.

When we meet a beautiful girl and invite her to a restaurant, we are well aware that we will spend the money for dinner, but it does not guarantee a continuation of a wonderful evening. I do not quite understand why many people do not want to understand the simple truth that we should also pay to play in the casino.

people are willing to spend money for their entertainment, their traditions as well as improving their skills and this is human nature

when gambling for pleasure then there is nothing wrong with that, when gambling to respect traditions that have been carried out since time immemorial then there is also nothing wrong with that, as long as you are able to control yourself (not to lose your family and yourself) then that's fine

When you check the age of those people who is ready to spend their money for entertainment you will see that those people are aged so therefore someone that is adult do not spend it money for entertainment because it have a diversity or many project that will give rise to money so any adult is thinking to build it future

Depends on the situation because not everybody would really be playing gambling for the sake of income or winnings because not all old or aged people are still thriving their best and some of them are just financially
free which they can really make out spending without having those doubts on spending money just because they had already established themselves on different investment which they could able to sustain their
gambling expenses or spending without minding themselves on getting broke thats why we shouldnt really make out some generalization on  someone who do make out spending on their gambling moments or times.
Since there are people who do have different status when it comes to finances and achievements that they had able to reach out in life.

I'm wondering how gambling makes one get rid of bad luck? These Chinese believe in everything that is without logic, but in the end, there is no question with people's beliefs, if they believe in such things we can only look and shut up and wish them good luck. gambling are divided into gambling based on luck and gambling based on strategies, and even in gambling based on luck math comes in, making people not only depend on luck

But even gambling based on strategies are still kind of relying on the factor of luck because there will be some time that even we analyze it carefully about what would be the nearest outcome, we still see ourselves in the defeated side because an upset is always around the corner. But that's not often, and will usually happen when we didn't expected it the most.

But there's no such tool or thing that will help us get rid of bad luck, even Chinese Feng Shui or lucky zodiac signs or whatever it is called is not guaranteed and proven that you can get rid of the bad luck. It's just a man made tool where it's a business for a lot of Chinese people.

sometime when people are in need of money and they are desperate to get it they jump into the gambling - they come either successful or unsuccessful
but they do give it a try in the time of depression - may be due to their own trouble, to make the love happy - or any medical urgency. sometime we all are become so helpless and makes mistake.

It is quite common that when people are facing desperate times they try all kind of measures that even if they know they make no sense in their desperation they do not see any other way to get additional money.

It is because of this we need to do what we can not to get into a situation like that, so it is important to have a cash reserve of several months in case of a family emergency, losing our jobs, we have to pay an expensive car repair or the countless scenarios which make us to spend money that was not in our budget at the time.

You always need to have reserves, this will help protect yourself from rash and forced decisions. If you have to live in rented housing and you are left without a job and there is no money set asided, then you can say, that you are falling into a trap. Then it will be necessary to agree to any job just to earn something, and if there are savings, then there will be time to correct the current situation, then there will be fewer mistakes and it will be calmer.

The most important thing is not to be a gambler and not to pick up a complex that psychologists designate as a Mana personality, it is really better to have an archetype of Puer or just a game for the sake of a game without a rational approach.

you will never know and understand the meaning of the cultural practices they do especially the topic of discussion is china, modern society says that it doesn't make sense it's nothing more than superstition. actually the understanding is not what we think there is a shift in meaning here. 
Gambling is not seen in a simple way, Chinese people see gambling games as more than just winning or losing, gambling can be a test of courage and instinct, especially luck.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, gambling has even become a gathering place for every meeting, so is the fact that Chinese people like gambling true? obviously not. This is a stereotype, Chinese people are no different from us in general, gambling is a personal matter regardless of the cultural traditions they practice.

what do you do if it turns out that your culture requires you to play gambling

Let's leave civilization aside, economy advancement as well and technology all at one side, lets face the culture in full, it is believed that every country has it own culture and there's a way that they have gambling being played as games for friendship or recreation purpose, gambling has the mentality of leisure time, no culture will exist without having time for leisure and in doing these, people gamble and have fun, in doing these as well they meet with each other creating ties together which is an indication of sociology and psychology benefit derived from gambling activities they celebrates together.

Dude, if that was the case, we would never have seen an introduction of Gambling disorders into the International Classification of Diseases, last volume.

That does not mean that all is lost for the addicted gamblers. There is always hope for de-addiction but the impetus has to come from the gambler itself.

Many countries and communities have social gambling festivals. But one has to understand that going to these once a year is fine but doing gambling everyday means you will get addicted. Once that happens, it is difficult to turn back.

There is nothing wrong with the idea of playing gambling in times of depression as long as you'll be much smarter and only pick battles where you have the strength, knowledge and your chances in winning is somehow decent. In that case, if I were in that position, I'd pick sports betting rather than luck based games where the money is fast because that is where your money losses fast too.
But that's if you can't think of any other idea to get rid of the situation you're into, gambling might be the easiest way but it is also the riskiest way to get money and there is only few people who succeeded.

I'm thinking depression is a very deep phycological and emotional challenge that one will have the time and feeling to gamble. I hardly think someone in depression can instantly pick himself up and be totally in the right frame of mind to make choices and this time to gamble his way. It is a difficult and challenging time and I think it will be difficult to do all the gambling choices.

I don't really believe in the theory of psychology with gambling and so on. Gambling is someone's need, you don't need a psychologist for that. Things you like can make you addicted. If you've been to a psychologist, that need really doesn't go away. Then you should go to an addiction clinic sooner. And if you're not addicted to gambling then you don't need a psychologist at all, right? Or am I missing something? Gambling naturally has psychological elements, but I don't think that is what is meant here.

The psychology of gambling turns out to be a process. One thing I see big with the gamblers is the positivity with them. This is a big thing and can't be seen much with the common people. Gambling gives gamblers overjoy, but how far this proceeds is connected decide whether a person is addicted to gambling or just make statement of getting addicted.

and remember the emotion of the gamblers towards their games depend on what they expect or where they get their money to play with. if you took a loan just to gamble, do you think you will really enjoy the game considering that it is someone else's money at stake? for sure, you're adrenaline is pumping while betting because you need to pay what you owe afterwards.

We have a thread  The History Of Gambling. And it shows that the ancient Chinese are one of the forefathers of gambling. So obviously, I will agree that it is part of their culture already. So I'm not shock by the article, they've been into gambling that really someone will what to test their luck to see if they are indeed going to get rich through gambling or have some money. And yeah, we've also discussed the entertaining aspect of it, for pure joy and fun, like playing roulettes or slot machines.

This is an interesting take- I never saw it in this light where gambling was embedded in the culture of the Chinese. I guess that is one of the reasons on why they are considered the powerhouse of gambling, like when you see casinos, absolutely and definitely you would see a bunch of Chinese people betting high amounts of cash simultaneously.

In reality, Chinese people are very business-minded people. They would take advantage of any situation that can potentially yield them large amounts of income in the simplest and quickest way possible. In the casino in our country, Chinese people roam the floors of each casino as they are acting as a loan shark for most gamblers.

I find this thread as a thread of merging several topics about gambling and it's a good one. For the first one, there's the relation and sort of feng shui to it and that's why they want to test their luck. Yeah, what a way to test your luck and it's part of their culture so there's no question to that whether they're in for entertainment or for money.

I think with these researches, they're on point and we as gamblers will really have something to say and reason out for the decisions that we're about to do. Whatever is our purpose, there's something of its cause that we want to achieve and if it's not achieved by us, we tend to say another reason which is also valid upon explanation just to hide the actual reason out of our frustration.

I think sometime even we believe that we are very smart - we fail and we fail terribly.
There we learn the hard way that life is not as we plan and there is surly super power which is running the world.

The feeling when they are playing either they are winning the game or losing is the thing they are actually looking for. There's a different feeling when you play gambling you will experience joy that maybe you cannot experience in other leisure activities, that's why they are having a trouble time removing gambling in their system. Their brain actually receives that happy hormones, and if we fight we our brain for us to stop playing it is very hard to do.

throw away your mind will make big profits from gambling the money you borrow from the bank or other people because on average those who do that only end up losing. it will not change anything (the result of your gambling game if you use the borrowed money to gamble), you will even feel burdened with big losses waiting for you at the end of your game if you don't win at all (run out of capital).

I don't think we should consider playing gambling when the money we are using is just a loaned/borrowed money because the probability that you will lose and not gonna pay on time at the same time is really really high. I think before we gamble we should have to set our mindset and have a discipline to control and follow what is on our mindset. Like putting a limit to how much money you have to gamble or what limit winning before you consider it a day and stop to continue your game in another day.

But anyway, I wonder if Chinese people would consider this thing like taking a loan if they don't have a money so that they could just gamble to follow what's part of their culture or maybe it just depends on everyone's choices.

Will the Chinese do anything including borrowing money just to gamble as an activity of their cultural tradition? Obviously not, this is a stereotype, Chinese people are no different from other people in general, gambling is a personal matter.

You must be able to distinguish between personal gambling and gambling from a Chinese cultural perspective. In short, gambling in Chinese culture is a game of dexterity based on betting, while the common gambling is to try luck to get big money.
