Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money?

[slapper]

Games should just be fun, and the money you earn in them should be considered a bonus for that fun.

You should always play very responsibly, winning is really cool and it's always good to have extra money, but this is not a guaranteed job and should not be seen as such.

I like playing plinko, I even play it sometimes, but whether you lose or win, it doesn't matter, the important thing is not to let yourself get addicted.

Gamblers should have thoughts like you where actually winning at gambling should just be considered as a bonus, not something we should chase, sometimes gamblers are too serious about making money from gambling even though gambling is not the place where it can make money for anyone, that should be well realized by all gamblers that gambling is not a place to make money or look for a steady income and people should know that gambling is a place to have fun like entertainment.

BTW, I also often play the Plinko game and sometimes I have experienced losses, sometimes I have won, depending on how I control my emotions when I play the game, usually if I am lucky I often win big there and withdraw money, but if I lose I will leave game without having to make another deposit to try to recover the loss, because I know it will only be a waste of my time and money, moreover it is very risky and usually makes me bankrupt because trying to recover the loss which actually will not help recover everything that has been lost.

That's exactly correct. The goal of gambling should never be to win money. Thinking of it as a money-making strategy makes it unsafe and unwise, similar to trying to walk a tightrope without a safety net. It's admirable how you see Plinko. You're being astute by identifying the thin boundary that separates a safe flutter from a dangerous fall

First things first: gambling is not a plan for investing. It's explosive and erratic. Winning is nothing more than a lucky break. How do you handle losses? incredibly sensible. It would be foolish to pursue them. Self-control is the key. Always play within your limits and gamble for enjoyment rather than luck. That is wise life, not simply wise gaming

yes the gambling is only for fun if someone thing it is a easy way to make money then he definitely doing the wrong think. gambling is not for everyone if you have enough money and if you have the ability to loss your money which amount you deposit for gambling. and if you win then it's definitely work as a bonus for you. everyone wants to win in the gambling because it's bring more fun then loss. so I will recommend to everyone use gambling only for fun and invest money in the gambling as much as you can afford to loss

Gambling for the sake of money, has caused many newbie gamblers more harm. Because of the gravity that pushes them to continue gambling that soon they'll hit the money. Thereby making the gambler to increase in wagering amount and also gamble for a long time. No need to gamble for money, as the house owns the whole money. It's mainly a place of fun and skill acquisition. Lots of knowledge is concealed in gambling, that only the observant people are able to find or unveil. However, it sounds to people that gamble has nothing else to offer other than win or loss. But gambling offers a whole lot more, especially for those who gamble in physical casinos, most of them learn communication skills there. This other knowledge which can be gotten via gambling, helps many gamblers to be productive in their daily real-life activities. Hence, gamblers should focus more on what they can get or learn and forget about making money via gambling.

Yes, money has duped many into a cycle of optimism and misery. I nod when you say the house's edge. Your advice to gamble for joy and learning rather than profit is refreshingly honest.

My point is that gambling reflects life's unpredictability. Risk assessment, pressure-decision-making, and people reading are crucial table skills. Travel is more important than arrival. In the bright atmosphere of a casino, mastering informal conversation can boost confidence in social situations outside.

Lets promote gambling as a tool for skill and human improvement. The ultimate prize is experience and knowledge, not chips.

No it isn't supposed to be so. Sometimes when gamblers are kindof broke or low on cash they can usually be filled with the urge of wanting to place a few bets so they could can like have some cash to spend. Sometimes it can turn out rosy and when they place the bet luckily for them they can win and they get off that broke state.
The fact that it sometimes happens that when you place a bet during your cash down situations you get wins doesn't mean you should rely on gambling activities anytime you go broke. As it can make the gambler lose focus on his actual job and even deviate to spend extra time to gamble just to earn more.

Or even i should say that it isnt really necessary on someones life, although we do know that these things do exist for the benefit on having those leisure and entertainment. It is really just that it turns out to be a shit thing just because people do really treat up the other way around or something that do talks about wrong or mishandling themselves on such scenario on where they do believe that gambling could really make them winners or really be able to generate easy winnings until that reality would be fucking up themselves and ending up on a disaster on which this is something that most common scenario that they would be able to experience.

Gambling should be fun and not something stressful because once you do find out yourself into such situation on which you are already that longing for more profits or you are already
that trying out to make money on a desperate manner then this is something that you should really be that you do stop and completely cut it out if you dont like
to mess up honestly.

Well, that's the solution, by changing inappropriate thought patterns, it might be possible to stop us from gambling with the aim of making money, because gambling with the aim of making money is very unlikely to happen easily. If you really want to make money to fix your financial problems then you can do a job or business that is more guaranteed depending on what kind of effort you make, but if you gamble, no matter how hard you try, you can't guarantee that you will win.

also in my opinion their financial problems will not be solved just by gambling, having a clear job with the income they earn can help them overcome their financial problems, but this also requires good money management, because per

If they could change their inappropriate thought patterns by stopping their gambling activities or reducing them and realizing that they cannot make money from gambling, they would see that they could have more money. They can even use the money to start a new business that doesn't require too much capital. Unfortunately, they can't think clearly because they are covered by the wins that other people get, so they also want to get them.

That's what makes them keep gambling even though they know the risks where they could lose more money and even run out of money at the gambling table. They should be able to think about looking for additional work if they cannot earn or have a lot of money. That would be better for them than using their small amount of money to gamble in the hope that they can make money from gambling.

In my opinion, changing their mindset only allows them to reduce their gambling activities, but that is good, because it can reduce the risk of loss. but if they want to stop gambling, I don't think so, especially if they are used to gambling, chances are they can only reduce it, not stop. That's true, sometimes there are friends who win at gambling and that can trigger us to want to gamble because we want to win, but that shouldn't be a benchmark for us to gamble excessively.

have big hopes, and have confidence in the victory that they can definitely get, which makes them keep gambling even though they are aware of the risks and realize that the gambling they do will only end in defeat. It's true what you said, they must have other income. The goal is that they don't have high hopes for gambling, because in my opinion, don't have high hopes for gambling, because it's just a game that has a small chance of making a profit.

I know lots of people that would disagree with your opinion. Games are really played for fun but the prospect of winning some money brings people back to play every time. If it’s just for fun, people would lose interest quickly after playing a particular game for a while. For some, the wins are considered a bonus for playing. For others, the wins are primarily their target and the excitement and fun comes in second.

Gambling is not a job, not less a guaranteed one. And gamblers who take up the activity solely for “earning” money would find out soon enough.

[OgNasty]

Gambling because you don't have sufficient money is probably the worst thing you could do for yourself.  Gambling is a form of entertainment and like other forms of entertainment, it costs money.  So what people need to understand is that you go gambling to have fun, not to make money.  Sure, the possibility that you could get rich is there and motivates people to give it a shot, but if you aren't enjoying the act of gambling, you're giving your money away for nothing.  Always remember that gambling isn't a job, it's a form of entertainment.  You wouldn't go to the strip club hoping to make money either.

[ARTOIS]

Everyone gamble for more money ,me ,you, the Rich , every gambler have the same goal.

That people think that gambling is for broke people, and we know truly that broke people gamble too, but if you truly want to know that gamble the more that will rich people, if anyone should do their research and see the amount of money rich people use to gamble, you will know exactly what I am talking about that rich people gamble more, and poor people gamble with a very poor mentality in times of selection and money used in placing the bet, but we feel that is always the poor people. and the poor gambling with needing money to do that is very true The problem with broke gamblers is that some of them do not even use their money wisely when they win, they always like to show off their win, and before you know it, the money is finished. I know gambling is fun but one of the main reasons I gamble is because I want to make money and that is one of the things that has driven me I don't have business with fun I only have business with money.

I agreed with you that gambling had now changed from being played for fun rather a money making venture, this is very common among soccer gamblers, I knew people who rely solely on earnings from soccer gambling for their daily upkeeps they never play their bets for fun, of course soccer bettings has variety of options which they pick for their betting and had winning consistently though with few losses, however in the long run earned some decent money another instance is the growing numbers of telegram and websites for soccer predictions which gamblers rely on to pick their games thus they guys mean business with gambling and never for any fun if it but to make money.

How can you gamble with an empty pocket? Before you misunderstood me, I asked this because in the hope of making money from gambling you will need to have money to put at risk first.

I know someone who wanted to pay some rent which was around $200 and he started using every money he could get to place bet on some football matches, by the end he risked it all he was unable to make the rent money from gambling and when he calculated how much he have used to place those bets it's almost a $100.

I laughed so hard on that day because if he could have paid half of that rent bill he would only need to look for the other half, but now he has no money to tell anything and also he owe those that he some part of the money from to place those bets.

If you don't have money that's yours, don't try to gamble, if you are in debt you could land up in more debt if you choose gambling as your source of paying back the debt.

[sompitonov]

I have been playing for a long time and precisely because I wanted to make money from gambling. Looking back, I understand that this was not the smartest decision. Of course this may succeed, but it will be a very small percentage of the total number of players. I tried sports betting and poker. In poker, I even managed to move up the low limits. But after 1 year of active play, I realized that this is extremely difficult for me, because to have a decent income you need to devote all your time and engage in multi-tabling. This is very hard work, to be honest, I even look at those who succeeded as superhumans.

In the end, I made the decision to play just for fun and whenever I want. I don't play poker for money now, I just make small bets on my favorite teams, and that's enough for me.

[Hanadawa]

I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling. He said if you have sufficient money to take care of your needs that you won't think of gambling. He made reference to some rich people, who don't gamble because they have sufficient money to even gift to charity but that those rich who still gamble are only addicted to it not just because of the money. Therefore, that the percentage of the rich gambling is very small compared to those in middle class and lower class.

So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?

I think this is a misconception and misperception that many people have about gambling. OP says that rich people don't gamble because they already earn a lot of money so there's no need to gamble anymore. This means that the OP said that this gambling is for the middle class and lower class because they still need money. Does OP think that someone can make money from gambling? I think this is a wrong concept of thinking.

You can't become rich and expect to make money from gambling, then make it one of your sources of income. You must remember that every gambling is a game, and every casino or bookie is a businessman looking for profit. So I think it's impossible for them to give money for free to everyone.

My personal opinion is that ideally gambling should only be for rich people and usually they gamble just for fun. If they win it will increase their pride. And if they lose they won't think about how they will survive the next day. You cannot make gambling a source of income and then spend all your money gambling because it is not certain that you will win the bet.

Indeed, there will be gamblers who will make mistakes and spend more and more money because they see gambling as a place to make money, which will only get them into trouble. And when they only have a little money, they will think that the little money will be used for gambling so that they can make money from gambling. Many people already think like that, but only a few people can actually make money from gambling, and others will only experience more and more losses because they are not aware of reducing their gambling activities. When they take part of the money for others need to play gambling, that's when they will experience problems because instead of the money increasing, it will only disappear at the gambling table, so they can only regret it. It was a stupid thing that they did when they should have used that little money to meet their needs, and they could have looked for a job that could make money. At least by looking for work, they still have the hope of making money rather than using that money to gamble, which cannot be achieved easily.

Yes, problems like that have occurred and are experienced by many gamblers. The problem is that other gamblers don't want to learn from their mistakes, so other gamblers also fall deeper and even lose their money. They should really regret this because it means they really lost their money without being able to recover it at all. It is a lesson for all and not just for gamblers but people who want to get to know gambling.

It is time for those who have had various bitter experiences to use them as a basis for learning from these mistakes so as not to make them again next time, they have wasted too much money and time in vain.
It is not pleasure or happiness that they can get but more likely disappointment and regret which causes them to lose control because of the desire to be able to get back what they have lost.
Nowadays there have been lot of problems caused by gambling and not all of them are new gamblers but also gamblers who have been familiar with gambling for long time but unfortunately they are not able to become responsible gamblers.
It just that I really understand what is happening to them because at this time money is very valuable and there is desire to be able to get or multiply money more quickly and take advantage of gambling to make it happen.
But that is mistake that must be corrected and they must start trying to fix everything by trying to limit what they spend on gambling, maybe for most gamblers this is difficult but it would be much better to start trying.

We like betting and the adrenaline of the game. However, you're addressing the dark side, which many avoid until its too late. I saw that too. From "just one more bet" to financial catastrophe is real. Too many face a harsh reality. Where I stand: Fun gambling. But do not pretend its a financial strategy. It entertains, not saves. Yes, I support autonomy, but with a lot of reality. Real lives, real repercussions. The reminder you promote? Not just vital, but lifesaving.

Loans and losses shouldnt be ignored. Its dangerous and slippery, not just "stupid," as you suggest. Awareness and responsibility arent extras. They're vital. Yes, reminders are important if we're a community. Its also important to encourage saying, "Thats enough for today."

Economy is indeed one of the reasons to be able to make money by gambling, but in gambling there is actually no intention of being able to easily make money, casinos build this business to make money and we as gamblers are the customers who give money.
Obviously this is not the right attitude or decision if you really use gambling as place to make money, they have to work, they have to do business if they want to earn more money and be consistent.
In gambling, losing is something that gamblers are guaranteed to always have, so how can we make this activity help the economy and increase income.
I also surprised by those who dare to borrow money to gamble because they have to pay back the loan, whereas if they use it for gambling then obviously everything will be lost, in the end they have to work hard to get the money and pay off the loan.
Borrowing money will actually be much more useful for urgent life needs, not for gambling purposes.

[Twentyonepaylots]

It really depends on the person you are asking. Some see it as leisure or just entertainment; some see it as a new way of earning income; or some are just really addicted to it. One of my friends sees gambling as a side hustle; he is not that much of a gambler; he just bets a small amount of his money and or just bets sometimes when he needs money. Lucky for him, he is winning (sometimes, lol). But for me, it doesn't really matter if you are rich, poor, or middle class; if you want to gamble, then go; no one will judge you. If it makes you happy or gives you money, no problem. Everyone has the right to gamble. Just be a responsible gambler and do not ruin your life by getting addicted to it. It is much harder to recover all your losses if you let your emotions control you.

[borovichok]

That's exactly correct. The goal of gambling should never be to win money. Thinking of it as a money-making strategy makes it unsafe and unwise, similar to trying to walk a tightrope without a safety net.

There is no generally acceptable goal of gambling, it solely depends on the player. Some people gamble simply for fun and excitement. For some people, gambling provides an opportunity to socialize, bond with others, and participate in shared activities. For other individuals, gambling represents a potential opportunity to improve their financial situation or to supplement their income.

I don`t think telling a gambler not to gamble because to make money is important rather telling a gambler a safe means of gambling to avoid addiction and thus, creating problems for himself. When we discourage people from gambling for money have we created alternatives for them to make money. Telling them to look for a job is not enough because sometimes there are no jobs in place. Even when we see gambling adverts they only show the financial gains. These bookies only tell you that you can make money from it and that is the consideration of many gamblers.

In my opinion, changing their mindset only allows them to reduce their gambling activities, but that is good, because it can reduce the risk of loss. but if they want to stop gambling, I don't think so, especially if they are used to gambling, chances are they can only reduce it, not stop. That's true, sometimes there are friends who win at gambling and that can trigger us to want to gamble because we want to win, but that shouldn't be a benchmark for us to gamble excessively.

It's true what you said, they must have other income. The goal is that they don't have high hopes for gambling, because in my opinion, don't have high hopes for gambling, because it's just a game that has a small chance of making a profit.

By changing their mindset and also reducing their gambling activities, they can reduce their losses in gambling. That means a lot to them because it means they can avoid losing a lot of money from gambling, and also they can avoid gambling addiction problems. We also won't be triggered to try to win again after winning because we know it is difficult to do. When we know and can understand that gambling is just entertainment, we will try to gamble moderately.

One day, gamblers will definitely win, so they must be patient in waiting for their turn to win. But often, gamblers don't want to be patient and instead immediately use more money because they think that they are close to winning, so they have to continue gambling. That is the wrong mindset because it will only cost you a lot of money without being able to win. We don't know when we will win, so we should just use gambling as entertainment so that we can gamble in moderation and not use a lot of money. When it's time for us to win, we will win.

If they can learn from what they have experienced, they can be wise in gambling, including using their money. They will not spend too much money or gamble too often because they have had previous experience. Previous experience makes them more mature in their attitude towards gambling and will give them the understanding that gambling is just for fun. And by gaining experience from previous losses, they will not be too disappointed because they have already gained experience which will be useful for us. Unfortunately, many new gamblers don't want to learn from the experiences of other gamblers, so many of them lose a lot of money because they gamble excessively. They cannot learn to limit themselves from gambling games because they are still fascinated by the wins obtained by other gamblers. But of the many beginner gamblers, there are some who want to learn from other gamblers because they know that the experiences of other gamblers can give them insight so they can be more careful in using their money to gamble.

We have different types of gamblers in the gambling center and, some gamble when they are not with enough money while some gamble when they have enough money to gamble to their satisfaction, but the most important thing in gambling is to ensure you didn't borrow money to gamble no matter what happen in the gambling center.

I have my own budget in gambling which is $4 or $5 daily either win or lose nothing will make me to gamble above that amount of money on that day because, I know that I will still gamble the next day to try my luck again and it has been helping me in the gambling center.

[noormcs5]

In the case of the rich, if they lose in gambling, they consider it a way to test their luck that means we can consider it is one kind of luck, but when a poor person loses in gambling, they try to recover their money from there.

I guess both the rich and the poor will gamble to make money and in case of loss, both will try to recover the loses. Loses aren't bearable by the any group of people either they are rich or poor. However, there can be exceptions for a few of them who are very rich, and losing any amount of money will not matter them.

The poor accept gambling as a part of their work and the poor consider gambling as an effective measure to change their financial situation. Which is the reason why the poor are more involved in gambling than the rich. A rich gambler gambles to spend his leisure time while a poor gambler spends his precious time to gain money. Although gambling is advised to be taken as fun, most gamblers see it as a money making scheme.

Anyway, I agree that if a poor gambler loses money, it will become very difficult for him to meet his daily expenses. But the question arises as to why the poor will gamble. The reason I understand is that he is most desperate to gain money and therefore he will risk his money to get the additional money from gambling. However, the poor gamblers must know that in case of loss, his life will become even more difficult.

you don't need to gamble everyday if you are not still very strong in financially. it's doesn't matter how much amount you are using for gambling everyday but if you gamble everyday you will get addicted on it so  you should avoid your strategy and you should gamble every weeks and you must shoulde maintain the limitation of budget. if you gimbale everyday then you will not able to protect yourself from gambling addiction in any ways. so always you have to control yourself if you want to keep safe from big financial loss
