5 Bitcoins to never gamble again. Will you take it?

[klidex]

Hey fellow gamblers, I don't know if this question has been asked before on this forum. If it has , please let me know and I will lock it and move it to archival.

My question is this, if you were given 5 Bitcoins to never gamble again for the rest of your life, will you take it? Considering that first you will already be rich or the prospect of getting rich is high from it. And also if you play your cards right by investing the 5 Bitcoin properly, it could also mean generational wealth. Or will you say that 5 Bitcoins can't match the thrill and pleasure that comes from gambling, be it at a physical casino or an online casino.

Someone came to me and said if you want to give me 50 BTC but I have to give up gambling and quite simply, who is the one who will give it away for free? 
I think it all comes down to considering gambling as fun entertainment or for multiplying money.
I'm sure if someone is just gambling for fun maybe he won't receive those 5 BTC because fun or entertainment is a personal right that no one can stop because gambling can sometimes be a very entertaining luxury game.
But if someone considers gambling as a place of money multiplier or as a source of income he will receive 5 BTC after that leave gambling for a while but when the money is used up for sure he will come back with the hope of doubling his money again.
So for me it all depends on each condition

Rejecting an offer of 5billion means that yhe person is not ready to be rich and has missed an opportunity of adding to their wealth or becoming rich forever, because why would someone refuse such an offer that would change their life forever, well there's no doubt that there are some people who don't know the worth of bitcoin or have any idea about it, but even at that I think they'll give it a second thought when they discover the amount of money involved to quit gambling, no offence but I think anyone that refuses such an offer is mentally unstable or have gotten very addicted to gambling and have vowed not to leave it, even most wealthy punter would accept this offer in a blink of an eyes.
 No matter how skillful or strategic in gambling you can't make up to 5btc in the space of 1 year through gambling, in the world of gambling there are very few punters that would say they've come close to getting such amount in the space of one year, so I wonder why someone would decide to reject such an offer, if I'm given such an offer I'll quit gambling and invest my money in other valuable commodities like investing in Gold, petroleum or even investing real estate and if possible owning my own gambling platform.

5 BTC is already a lot and if that's the simple thing to do, why not? It's free money and if given that easy task, I'll take it. Now, the question is where are the actual people that are willing to offer this kind of thing? 

How about your wife who without your knowing has been investing secretly in Bitcoin for a long time, if it's my wife I don't think I can accept the deal because my money is my wife's money, and her money is her money alone, this is the only exception to the rule

We both agree with that, it's her money and I don't want to intervene with her own finances. I know that it's gonna be easy money but it's a different case if she's involved with it and she's the one who's going to offer it for me. But, I'll just do it for free if that's her and what if she reveals that she's got a lot of bitcoin then that's a relief for me because that means that she's got a lot of investment and she's been doing that for our future. 

even if there is no Bitcoin involve if the wife tells you to stop gambling and she means it, you better listen I based it in my experience and situation

We're good husbands and we have to obey what our wives say.

Now I know why people constantly fall victim to scams. The answer is, they can't even read a short and simple sentence without misunderstanding it.
It's not 50BTC, but 5. Nobody said 50! You've even quoted him saying 5 and answered with 50. I'm lost for words
Now, back to the topic. I'd take the money. I seriously doubt I can ever make 5BTC from gambling, even in the next 10 years... I'll probably be at a loss if I continue with it as it is, to be honest.

If someone ever offers you that kind of money, it's probably a scam, but if it's not - take it and forget you've ever gambled.

If it's legit then I'll take it and do the best that I can to put it in other forms of investment or even putting up a business that will sustain my daily living. If that's an opportunity to enjoy life then I will never say no to it.
With that amount of money, only those who have fallen deeply into gambling addiction will reject it. I'm just an occasional gambler so it will be easy for me to turn my back away from gambling. 5 BTC isn't a joke and it could afford to put up a business or even provide a financial freedom when invested in Bitcoin for a long term. It's better to be wise and take that funds than to follow our urges to gamble without any assurance of profit.

Well, some people don't really read carefully and just give a comment without giving much thought about it.
This question is quite easy to answer if you are just an occasional gambler, as you can easily say yes.
But if you are a gambler through and through, I don't think 5 BTC can change your mind not to set your hands again in gambling.
It would take a determined mind and sheer power from yourself to change your lifestyle, because you will look for that excitement that gambling brings you.
And if someone offered that to me, I will absolutely accept it. I have no qualms on not having to gamble again.

Mate are you really serious right now,  5 BTC is a big money that can change someone life in any part of the world and gambling is for just two things which are.

1: gambling for fun/entertainment
2: gambling for the winning rewards and money

So in which ever ways you take it,  5 bitcoin will play a big role,  because if you take gambling as entertainment,  you will have alternative ways to keep yourself entertained other than gambling if you have money.

So at the end 5 bitcoins are far more important than gambling in any sense you may think of it.

No matter how skillful or strategic in gambling you can't make up to 5btc in the space of 1 year through gambling, in the world of gambling there are very few punters that would say they've come close to getting such amount in the space of one year, so I wonder why someone would decide to reject such an offer, if I'm given such an offer I'll quit gambling and invest my money in other valuable commodities like investing in Gold, petroleum or even investing real estate and if possible owning my own gambling platform.

That's true mate, for how long will it take a gambler to have the opportunity of making upto that amount of money, gambling is what we do without having certainty on either winning or not whereby when you're given the opportunity to rece 5btc just like that, no body in his right thinking mind will not accept the offer of bitcoin over gambling since gambling is all about making money and we've already received the offer of having money without the stress and risk to gamble.

Shit never mind earning 5 btc in a single year, most of us here truth be told no matter how high roller would never get as much as 5 bitcoin in their whole gambling lifetimes. And that's with all factors included so if we're being realistic here the amount of things you can do with 5 btc beyond just the simple monetary gain is already astounding especially if you're living in third world countries where price of stuff isn't that high compared to world standards. I get why some people may choose gambling over money, it's their choice and I respect that but it doesn't mean I agree with it or that I "understand" why they chose so lol. The point of some for gambling is to chase money anyway, and then the moment they were given a choice between money and gambling they chose gambling, what a bunch of losers.

It's different for every person I guess, 5 bitcoins though is not enough to make a good living in our country at the current price. Yeah maybe you can buy a nice house or nice car. But the question is, how you can sustain that life if you empty that money and buy those things?

And maybe that's why majority of us will not accept it but rather just have a normal life and then enjoy gambling in the side. Maybe they could earn 5 bitcoin later, the most important thing is to just enjoy life. Because if you got that 5 bitcoin and then stop gambling totally, if might affect your mind.

Well, 5 bitcoins is good money but it's not so much where I live, you can't even buy a house with them. Generational wealth could be created if the money is invested well, but after quite a few years, maybe a couple of decades, although if you count that money as just part of an overall plan, where you also try to create generational wealth in other ways, it could be much less time.

Anyway, yes, I would accept the 5 bitcoins, because for me gambling is an entertainment in which I spend little money. With that money I could find other entertainment and I would have enough left over for savings.

Not 5 billion but 5 Bitcoin and the value of 5 Bitcoin is still quite far from 5 Billion, those who refuse 5 Bitcoin may not be because people are addicted but as Op said he is already rich enough and the value offered is not comparable to the wealth he already has, and also not everyone knows that the value of 5 Bitcoin will be very huge over time because it continues to increase like people who can buy Bitcoin for under $1000 don't think it will be like this now because they have sold it just for a few hundred dollars profit.
And this is a story if so there will be many people who will also answer with what if without taking it seriously because it is rather impossible that someone will give us 5 Bitcoins just because they want to see us stop gambling, even the people closest to us will probably never do it, because they think it's possible we lie not to gamble, but because gambling is currently very possible to be done in secret, it will still open up opportunities for us to continue gambling even though we have promised and have received the 5 Bitcoins, and if questions always open opportunities to receive answers with many things.

[danherbias07]

I'd take it without a shred of doubt.
That's already money in my pockets, while in gambling you are risking your money for a chance of a jackpot which could take like forever.
5 Bitcoins is a lot of money converted here in our currency and that will make me fix my house, put a college fund for my 2 sons, and maybe invest in a business that I will grow myself and see to it that it can make more money to buy back all the Bitcoin that I spent.
Buying real estate could also be a good investment here and then letting other people pay for it by letting them rent the unit, especially in our part where growth is happening so fast.

No gambling, no problem. I can still enjoy watching sports without money on the line.

I think if a gambler is so addicted to gambling that if he doesn't bet he might become apathetic. Just as a drug addict may be close to death if he goes without a drug for a day, so a gambler may never stop gambling. Even if such a person were given five bitcoins, he might gamble with them and later lose his money. But there are many people who, if they were given five bitcoins, would never gamble again and instead would hold those bitcoins for the future. If 5 bitcoins were given to a sane gambler right now, he would think about the future and see these bitcoins as his wealth. Because if you hold bitcoins it will definitely be profitable in the future and if you gamble with these bitcoins, there is a risk of losing.

I guess you misunderstand his main point, as I understand he is trying to say that "even if" there is someone who will give bigger amount in order to make him stop gambling. And the main idea of his post seems to be the last question which is about who will give free money (regardless the amount) for us to stop something we usually do. I doubt there will be even someone who will come to us and give 1btc or half to stop gambling.

[slapper]

5 Bitcoin certainly sounds like a lot of money, and it's hard not to get a little bit covetous thinking about all that digital gold. Gambling, however, is about more than just winning money. It's all about the mental challenge, the rush of competition, and the sensation of mastery. Even if I had a million Bitcoin, I wouldn't be able to give up those exciting moments (LOL give me 1 million please)

Wait a minute... What would happen if I pretended to stop gambling, took the Bitcoins, and then kept on gambling with them? Not that I would ever do such a thing, of course...

Even if you are given 1 million bitcoins but are a gambler, you will definitely use it to bet to get more bitcoins. We normally want more bitcoins than we already have because we will never be satisfied. And it's also true that it's about a person's mentality when they are about to be given any gift and instead of stopping, they use it to get even more.

I guess most people would act like you do. They want to earn more by gambling but guess what will happen next? They could lose more because of their greed.

You remember there was this other thread where we were also deliberating on a topic related to this one, but in the other thread, the OP was talking about receiving some money too, just to stop gambling. Here we are again  , with a 5 BTC offer just to stop gambling. I hope you are aware that No body will offer you a million BTC to stop gambling 😂. Wake up from the dream. Perhaps it's not even possible for 5 BTC unless you are such a compulsive gambler that you are only gambling to make ends meet, and fortunately you are lucky to meet a fuckingly rich C.E.O who offers to help you by giving you the 5 BTC, which you must agree to stop gambling, else you will return the BTC.

Wait a minute... What would happen if I pretended to stop gambling, took the Bitcoins, and then kept on gambling with them? Not that I would ever do such a thing, of course...  

Don't ever get caught gambling; otherwise, you will refund the 5 bitcoins, but if you can't, then you can end up in jail for breaking the deal.

You can always can, as long as you are good at doing it secretly and provided it's not your wife or someone who is living with you like your father if you are still in their house, whoever had this idea of giving Bitcoin for you to stop gambling is not really wise, because gamblers are good in finding ways the giver cannot trace you or follow your all time even in your bedroom or comfort room, I don't think this is possible but who knows we could read that it really happens in real life

[Joca97]

Would take this deal any day of the night. Five bitcoins is lifechanging currently so to stop gambling would be a perfect exchange. I think o most everyone would take this the offer if they dont have a business or money. I would start a few business with this money probobly and take a long vacation. But still the gambling addiction is hard to get rid of so i doubt most of the people would be able to stop gambling.
