What most gamblers do.

[Hispo]

It is not about being a gambler or not, OP.
It is rather about one is a responsible adult or an irresponsible idiot. Here in the forum you can find people who gamble within their own budget and do it in a responsible way, so they can keep savings and provide to their families.

Perhaps, even though problem gambling happens all around the world, it is more common there in Nigeria for some socioeconomic reasons which I ignore. Do not let those people to create a negative image of all gamblers around the world in your mind.

[X-ray]

I guess your question was related to the personal question caused by when you mentioned those gamblers have no money left as reserved funds. I can even say that those people were only caring to play gambling even further with what they owned.
This level of gamblers was always related to addicted gamblers. I saw also in my region so many gamblers who didn't care about their family even some were also selling their house and everything that they own for gambling.
IMO, their addiction is the main thing that has triggered him to use even their life-saving to gamble. Im sure that they know about that but they were thinking about how to doubled or tripled their money as fast as possible and yeah gambling is the answer.

How can a gambler have savings if he continues to use his money to gamble? A gambler who actively gambles will not think about having savings but only wants to gamble more often. And when he has money, he will continue to gamble and hope to win a lot of money. But the reality is not like that because many gamblers cannot win money but instead experience defeat. And that already uses a lot of money. So he can't save and maybe he needs someone else from his family to help him save from his gambling winnings.

I want to ask a question. And I need serious answer from this forum, and my question is WHY DOES A GAMBLER DON'T HAVE A SAVINGS.
In my country (Nigeria) there are many gamblers who don't have savings and it isn't help matters at all. Most of these gamblers can't afford for there families but they can afford money they will use to gamble. So why are they not having savings that they can use to help there families in time of lack. Like they said, we save money so money can save us tomorrow. But these gamblers doesn't know that.

That's just biased, isn't it? I myself am a sample of a gambler who has savings piled up which is already separate from what I invest and what I use to enjoy various hobbies, gambling included. I think a better description would be gambling addicts? Though I reckon you'd be able to guess the answer already from those two words itself, it's because of addiction, simple as that. It doesn't even matter if they have a family or not, the fact that they got addicted is already enough of an idea that they wouldn't bother with them, let alone save funds for their family.

You've just generalized all gamblers which I don't think it's always gonna be the case. A lot of people who are not gamblers but doesn't have savings as well. This is something that doesn't need questions, coz we all know that these type of people are the irresponsible ones, who thinks only one way that disregards the financial struggles, and of course these people knew that.

Well, I think that, without being 100%, there must be a certain relationship. In the same way that you see a lot more bookmakers in poor districts than in rich districts because people who have money know that gambling is not a good way to earn it. So, many people on low incomes, with no savings, turn to gambling as a financial way out of their situation, while far fewer of the economically well off do the same, and if they do, it tends to be on a more ad hoc basis and as entertainment.

[Plaguedeath]

It's mean the gamblers you see in your country are addicts because they don't know how money management worked and use all of their money for gambling in order to make more money. I've seen such kind people in my country too, but since they're not my friend and didn't cause a problem to me, I don't care because it's their own choice. If it's my friend usually I've give a reminder and deep discussion, some may change, while some didn't.

Gambling acts like an addiction to alcohol in gamblers who are addicted to gambling and never think about tomorrow.  So they don't hesitate to bet their all.  And that's how they lose all their savings and many gamblers lose their wealth, property and everything in gambling. And because of this, addicted gamblers do not have savings. Again if luck is good many gamblers win a large amount then they have savings for the miner but they can't keep it for long either.  Greed drives them to gamble again and lose everything

Not because in your country or i mean most of the people that you knew who gambles does not have Savings meaning this is what happening in around the world.

for example , I also gamble an sometimes a Lot, but I have crypto savings and also fiat savings , not to mention my wallet holding ,  maybe you wanted to address are those gamblers from class d civilization with addicted behavior, you can expect nothing from those lol.

[White pawn]

I think you have generalized and classified all gambler not to have any savings probably cause of the gamblers you meet on occasion. I think it’s a wrong notion that gamblers generally don’t have any savings. There are lots of successful people that gambles and still have some savings left for whenever it’s tight.
The advice for a gambler is still the same for someone that drinks. Drink and gamble responsibly.
I think for successful and not broke gamblers, the key is to set a limit on how much you’re willing to spend on gambling and then stick to the limit.

True and How can a gambler's savings be if they gamble beyond the limit?
There is no guarantee that a gambler will always win at gambling.  But at the same time a high desire to gain works in the mind of a gambler.  And if a loss is encountered once then a higher amount is bet the next time to recover the previous loss.  But even then if he loses gambling then he is in a bigger loss altogether.  Example if a gambler bets $50 hoping to profit $10 and loses, they bet $200 in the next bet to recover that $50 but if the server also loses, they lose $250 twice, and they lose everything in the same way and Thus they fail to make savings

your question is obvious and that is those people you have learned are those people that has no concrete plans in their future and only gambling is what they can see to be the source of their dreams.
while the good gambler will never let His savings drained because of gambling.

It is possible that you find these facts based on where you live and socialize. If you are in a good socioeconomic status, then you will also find gamblers who have savings and are able to properly meet the needs of their families and even help other people too.
Gamblers who don't have any savings are common in poor families and they gamble hoping to hit the jackpot.

not only in your country but here we are also the majority of gambling addicts do not have savings even on average their families are all ruined.  It's impossible for gambling addicts to have savings, what they think about is how to quickly make a profit from gambling, which they do, even the majority of them are willing to do anything to get gambling capital ^{(robbery, selling personal items, or getting into debt)}.  so if you expect them to have savings, that will never happen.  

[len01]

gamblers will not care or think about future savings, whereas he would prefer the money they have just to gamble. and sometimes the gambler doesn't think about whether he can eat or not, the most important thing is he can gamble that day. there are lots of gamblers who get sick just because they focus on gambling without thinking about whether they are eating or not.
well, from this you can imagine when gamblers are more concerned with gambling than savings which destroys their future.
but I think it's natural for gambling addicts who can't control their budget to gamble and throw away all the money they have.

so, anyone who feels himself to be a gambler who isn't too addicted, it's better to start controlling the gambling budget to be able to set aside a little money for savings if one day something more important happens and the savings can cover that problem.

[maydna]

That's because they only think that gambling is more important than having savings. After all, if they win playing gambling, they will have a lot of money, enough to meet their needs and that of their family. But most of them are wrong if they think like that because he and his family have to eat and fulfill other life needs so he should start thinking about having savings for his future. They must change their mindset so their lives can change for the better. But it won't be easy because it depends on how badly they gamble and how conscious they are to improve their life.

Gambling as an addiction has a lot of negative effects. Just as people who are addicted to cocaine and heroin would gladly give up their last dollar to feel high, so it is with pathological gamblers. A pathological gambler cannot keep to a budget; therefore, it is expected that they have no savings. In a country like that of the OP, where resources are low and there is a high rate of inflation, being a gambler and having savings would require stoic discipline. The main message is that everyone should gamble responsibly, and if you feel you are getting addicted, please seek help.

1.Lack of financial culture and proper financial education. 2.Gambling addiction makes them financially irresponsible.
Why are you asking this question? Do you have gambling addicts in your social circle? Maybe friends or family members?
What kind of answer do you expect? Almost all gambling addicts have debts. It's impossible for them to save some money for their families.
The only way for them to save money is to quit gambling completely. I'm sure that most gambling addicts are aware of their problem. They just lack the self-control to change their behavior. The same thing applies to different kinds of addicts, not just the gamblers.

It's good that you are concerned about gamblers from your country but the harsh reality is that gamblers generally have the habit to go all in.
I think that's what is happening to people at your place. Instead of saving first and then spending rest on gambling they are doing the opposite.
Spending first on gambling will eat up all the money and leave nothing for savings.
People should do the opposite and only then they will be able to save money and balance their spendings.

Yeah i feel you right, because if the gambler continues to hold his funds, he will definitely use the money to gamble more and expect more winning but that may be the opposite of the case as i have seen because I can boldly say it's  very difficult when you gamble to save as i am a victim of this.
