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

[jostorres]

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.

I understand your point but you are actually not getting his point because he is also right. There are people who wouldn't take that much money to leave what they like to do the most, I mean look at those rich people who gamble just for fun, do you think they don't have enough money to do other things to keep themselves entertained? No, it is because they like to do it and they do it with passion and they take it just like a hobby without caring about the money they are spending on it.

Similarly, someone who likes to gamble regardless of the fact that they win or lose, wouldn't take the money and will simply say that they can't stop gambling forever, maybe if you give them a time period for how many months or days they can't gamble, but they wouldn't accept the offer to leave it forever.

How can a guy who gives me 5 BTC actually check whether I play or not? It’s impossible. So, anyway it should be a good deal.

I know for a fact that some big bag gamblers spend such an amount of money in just one night, doing it for fun,  I have read in this forum where a rich kid wasted about 30 million dollars on gambling and alcohol in just one night and that is some that chuck many of us small gamblers,  but then I got to understand that some gamble not just for the money but also for the fun,  and also a means to waste some money by some extravagant spenders.

But if I should align this situation to myself,  I will say that getting a 5 Bitcoin as a result to leave gambling,  I will say it worth the break and I believe most other people here have the same line of thought like mind.

I agree with you in this situation it would be a good decision to actually stop gambling because 5 bitcoins may be nothing for rich people but it is a lot for middle class people. They may never lose so much money in gambling that they spend in business or investment because the guarantee of winning in gambling is very low. If you become addicted, you will lose everything and become destitute. No one will waste such a large amount of money unnecessarily if it is invested it will increase in value.

[Woodie]

It would take only a person that is proven profitable  over a couple of years to pass this offer, because  everyone knows that the house always wins and to be offered this to walk away from gambling 🎰  am taking it no doubt!!

But the problem will come in when someone wants to grow their crypto holdings then they find themselves  gambling again...

Lol 😆 very funny, now that you mentioned it, am now wondering if people gamble to have fun or its all about the money ..because if it were about the money its good bye to gambling otherwise possibility of gambling addiction if a way out was given but someone found a back door🚪

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.

        -     well, 5btc is 5btc perhaps majority will take that including me of course. And then stop gambling forever and establish a business that will generate income. It's a huge amount here in our country, I can buy a brand new house and lot with new vehicles and business too.

But I haven't heard anything like that in reality in this crypto gambling field. Because who will do that for you? unless it's your parents or close friends who do it, that can happen in real life.

Even in my dreams, I'd rather have 5 bitcoins than gamble. Where are you pointing the lie? Of assured, I'll stop gambling for beneficial reasons and concentrate on the more luminescent, more prestigious subsequent years that is awaiting me. Gambling might have had a chance to compete with 5 bitcoins ten years ago, but there is currently no match. Accumulating 5 bitcoins is equivalent to accumulating an enormous fortune, an elegant residence, and an exotic car; this is a luxurious lifestyle we all have been dreaming about, there's no time to mess things up.

[Johnyz]

Life is full of risk and full of indirect gambling through your decisions, so I cannot promise you with this but I can assure to you that your 5 BTC will not be wasted.

I will make sure to spend it right and put it on a good investment but of course, having that money is not easy and the real challenge is to sustain that money and double it or more.

As many says, its easy to become a millionaire but its hard to remain millionaire, this will boils down to your financial decisions and strategies.

Nope I will not take the risk of gambling away 5 BTCs considering that its value is a life-changing amount, at least to my country.

As someone who lives in a third-world country, receiving 5 BTCs is like equivalent of having a good and comfortable home with a running car. This kind of amount can actually be a game-changer given the fact that competition of money is significantly high.

With this in mind, I cannot bear to risk 5 BTCs given that it can totally change my life for good. Sure, the thrill of gambling such huge amount may give a boost to my adrenaline but I just cannot accept the circumstance of losing everything in the event that I lost.

Life is not full of risk but the society that you are living around can be a risk. Life is a hardship and without knowing how to tackle it you would not have survived till now. None can resist 5BTC and I am assuming here that it is impossible to spend that kind of amount on gambling. Let's think what a gambler who is addicted to gambling would think. Assuming I am a gambler, my mind would say to me that I have 5 BTC why not make it 10 BTC? This is how a gambler gambles and then losses everything to the addiction.

If you are living in a gambling environment everyone would encourage you. If you are not living in a gambling environment and after winning a big amount they will still ignore you and consider you as an outsider. That is why your circle of friends and social gathering is important for you and your family. Life is simple you work hard and you make money. If you are smart you make more.

5 Bitcoins is really huge for most of people, but sometime we're live isn't because only for money.

There is a reason to what you have said and I see it. Asking someone on a condition to do something or not to do something for another is kind of deprivation of either some sort of freedom that comes with happiness. For some people, money is not anything while others cherish it. So it depends on who is involved in the matter of giving 5 btc not to gamble for a live time. A rich dude that gets enough fun because he gambles would not see the point of giving him that to sacrifice such freedom. And a poor guy will easily find joy with that already.

[darewaller]

It's a waste of BTC if anyone gives you 5 BTC to stop gambling...

1. You can still trade stock or crypto assets on crypto exchanges.

2. If you are gambling in your room who will know what you are up to? All you have to do is lock the door behind you and start gambling again.

The question is how will this person that gave up 5 BTC will know if you are no longer into gambling after accepting the 5 BTC? So this question isn't working for me, it's not an idea that could work out, some people can't even stop their addiction, gambling is more addicting than another thing and with 5BTC, they can still keep gambling and lose all the BTC.

It's a waste for the giver but not for the receiver. They will only enjoy it and they may not stick on the promise, as we know there are now online gambling where we can play gambling even in our comfort rooms and by using any internet-capable devices.

No one would ever suspect that we are playing a gambling there. I am an honest person so if in case I will accept the deal, I will strictly follow the rules. Besides, there are still other ways for me to get entertained ( not only through gambling ) and my sole purpose of playing a gambling is to make money. So now that I have loads of it, it just doesn't make sense to do the activity anymore.

[Jawhead999]

The question is, do you have at least 5 Bitcoins? if you not try to give it to random gambler in this forum, how you can know the answer?

Anyone will say yes they will never gamble anymore for 5 Bitcoins and when they already get it, maybe they wouldn't gamble for 1-2 months, but after then they will gamble because they want!

Even you aka as the one who give the 5 Bitcoins to him, would he care in case you know he broke his promise? nope, even your best friend can betrayed you because of money.

It makes sense. In my first "investment" (it was a "high yield investment program" Feeder Fund) people who attracted investments even warned the potential investors: "Do not gamble with money you cannot afford to lose".

#TBT Topic

What does your approach have to do with a casino, a life decision and bitcoin.  Ah, if the forum => bitcoin, then Gambling => forum.

I explained it in another post, it doesn't matter if it's $100 or 5 BTC, the decision is the same, there must always be a balance between your decisions to bet and what to do with your ordinary life.

Rather than who is involved, it is all about the person's requirement. There are people who have lost big through gambling and now working hard to repay the debts. For such a person the 5BTC is kind of relaxation as they will be able to settle the debts and once again start their gambling to try their luck. To me it is the money that 50% of the world population can't earn in their lifetime. I'll keep 1BTC, so that I can be one in the 21 million and the rest will be used to make life comfortable than losing.

Maybe for some, it's true that 5 Bitcoins can't match the thrill and pleasure that comes from gambling. Also, if they are still young they can have lots of gambling sessions and they may get lucky to earn more than 5 bitcoins later on. Me as a middle age person, I think I will bait on the offer because I rarely play gambling and if I do, I only play tiny amounts, so I don't think I can accumulate 5 Bitcoins in my lifetime.

Maybe I will have more chance and I can win more than that if I bet on a lottery but IDK why I rarely did that. I guess it's because I find it unappealing plus lottery outlets in our area is kinda far. There are online versions but almost all of them are infamous casinos so I'm not sure about their reputation.

It's a hypothetical question in which I'm guessing the OP is asking is if there is a dollar amount you can get paid to stop.  Or is the thrill of gambling itself worth much more than that financial amount.  In practicality you are right no one would ever know but that's not what the intention is here.  So if that's the case would you stop?

5 bitcoins is 150 thousand dollars. If you convert them to fiat and keep them in a bank/bonds, then they will give about 5% per year. This is 7.5 thousand dollars a year. If you go to Vietnam/Philippines or another poor country, then this may be enough money to live without working. Probably many (who have already worked hahaha) would choose this option.

[Davidvictorson]

As a business person, I would like to strike a deal with whoever is making the offer. Rather than give up gambling totally for the rest of my life for 5 Bitcoins, give me only 2.5 bitcoins and I'll give up gambling for 20 years only. That's a gamble because nobody knows what would become of Bitcoin then. At that time we may have it go to the moon and become the most valuable asset to own or it may crash to zero and become the most worthless asset to hold.
