Passionate gambler keeps the gambling boards rolling even after retirements

[EarnOnVictor]

Do you still play the game to make profits? Or you plays for fun?

First, regarding your question, I do both. I have fun with gambling, especially the casino, and I also play bets to make money from it, especially from the sportsbooks aspect.

Now, about the main body, it depends on how you see it, but I don't view it as you. I view this as a competition and it is not the first time it has happened in a locality, and it's for the fun of it. Real gambling is another context entirely but this is more of a competition where people win money or things. I have also thought about such if I make it very big in life, just for the fun of it and bring people together at the end of every year.

After all, if someone has the money and the togetherness spirit, the end of the year is the best time to show it. The spirit of the end of the year is always unexplainable and it's a very good way to give to people even if you do not want to give to them directly.

Kudos to him!

I still gamble for fun. I know that winning from gambling is not easy and requires a lot of money.
As long as he can take full responsibility for himself in gambling, he will not experience problems and can even enjoy it. He also won't use gambling to make money, as he only uses it to have fun with his friends.
Yes, he managed to use gambling as a competition to gather his friends so they could meet and compete with each other and that succeeded in inviting his friends who came from far away places.
They don't want to miss the annual party and meet their old friends. Maybe it's a passion for gambling but if everyone participating were responsible people in gambling, it would be fine.

It isnt something that he obliged himself on doing that because everything was really that depending into his own interest and his passion about giving back to the community via means or methods on doing such gambling on which it is really giving out that entertainment and those giveaways at the same time on which it do really give out that successful meet up or whatever it called.
Not all people who are playing or dealing up with gambling can be considered or called to be addicts. We can play on anytime and we can play anytime we do want. It is really just that
there are ones who are really just that trying to enjoy their retirement years and sticking into something that they've been getting used to.

Its a good gesture actually on having this kind of particular step. You would really be able to get along with those old colleagues when you are still young.
How great feeling it would be. Right?

The guy is a legend to make gambling his passion rather than a serious way to make money. Most of them try to rig money out of casinos but fail the basic rule of house edge and lose a lot of money. I am not saying that we can't make money from casinos but if you stress it too much then you sure end up losing more than what we wager. I have always considered casinos as the biggest sink hole, that work only on a lot of luck, someone losing when you win and someone winning when you lose your money. What other great logic could be behind this to make them win most of the time and become a multi-billion industry?

The guy's description is something one should focus on. Just chillin' when we play at any casino. Always try to be focused on the fun part rather than a serious mone making strategy. Sometimes playing for fun can make you more money rather than going very strategic about it.

though we are not hearing his whole story but i guess, he knows what he's doing in this gambling part of his life. because if he is not financially capable, he won't initiate such annual event. also, it means, he manages well his financials despite of his gambling activities. who knows he's just only using his spare money during those days that he's into gambling so his funds are not really compromised?

because if you have money trouble, you won't set-up this kind of event. and now, it becomes a traditional one to his community where everyone is looking forward to. and it seems they are not looking at it as gambling only but an annual event where people are getting together. that's one way to unite their people. not so bad for a gambling game though.

Do you still play the game to make profits? Or you plays for fun?

I gamble for both , first is to hunt Winning and second to have fun because it is hypocrisy to deny that we gamble to win instead many saying just for fun but I must not agree because losing for fun is stupid idea , why not just buy a Pet with the money you have to lose so fun having pet will be longer.

All these are literally what passion for gambling could be but yeah, this said gambling festive organiser happens to be a retired gambler.

retired gambler are really not so common for me , because even if you are not betting big and losing big , yet you will surely visit casinos at least once a week or month or at least once a year meaning there is no totally retirement but just leaving for a while.

[Heartilly]

I don't think it's because of being a gambler before why he ended up establishing such initiative and events.

It's because he truly love the game and being a gambler is just a part of it. But deep inside, that interest in checkers leads still in him and to enjoy the moment, he organized competitions. It's the same as those famous sports individuals that after retiring, still doing some things related to their activities in their prime.

Best examples are Michael Jordan of basketball, organizing basketball clinics and competition, Manny Pacquiao of boxing, builds boxing gyms and hosting some local game event related to boxing and many other famous sports celebrity.

Adding to that, looks like that man is really well-off and can afford to spend on that yearly event.

because something that is done based on a hobby or pleasure will provide satisfaction for the person doing it.
no matter what form of gambling or game is competed. if that was part of what he enjoyed doing in his youth, it would certainly be possible to create a competition in which people with the same enjoyment as him would participate.
Prizes have bonuses, and the fun of playing and meeting more people who have the same fun is the goal.

[livingfree]

That's what actual enjoying to gamble is.

Kudos to that man for having that annual budget for everyone to have fun in the form of gambling. Now those people that have been generalizing gambling as something bad to everybody, they will not accept this gambling competition set by this man.

But if you're going to ask them to join so that they'll have a chance to win a motorcycle and all of those stuff that are included in that competition, well, they're quicker than The Flash to join, believe me.

This is indeed the perfect example that not all people who are engaging with gambling would really be that considered to be a gambling addict. Some of them are really just that playing for fun
and even do really think up on making some community gambling activities just to give out some giving back to community kind of vibe or really simply just to have some fun with other fellow community members and with his friends. It is really just that really good to look at that there are people who had been making some long time breaks but in the end they have come back and do the usual
stuff that he was been able to get used into.It is actually not really that a common thing that do happen for most bettors or gamblers whom you do see that they are really that responsible
about their gambling activities or dealing.

Yes, that's how it works for most people, I guess. But it is not necessarily bad, because they are people who have a strong opinion on such matter, but are able to re-think about it and change their mind if the facts prove them wrong.

I like the case of the man mentioned in the OP. It seems that his aim is to make people happy or at least help them enjoy some good moments, and he is not after their money. In life, there are other pleasurable activities apart from earning money, and helping others can be one of them.

Do you still play the game to make profits? Or you plays for fun?

-snip-

I take that I will lose all the money I gamble for granted and that helps me enjoy the game, because otherwise I find frustrating the expectation of a prize that never arrives. So I gamble for fun, although not very often.

That person really did manage well his gambling life and now, he is giving back to his community.
At least in the form of entertainment and get together among his people.
I am guessing that person also has been financially stable and already set for his retirement years.
Because if you are not financially capable, I don't think you would think such initiative.

It's true, not everyone who gambles is addicted to gambling. there are also people who are looking for fun like the rich people who have a lot of money, even though they are old they are always in the casino looking for fun. the majority of gambling has a negative point of view among the people, they see a lot of gambling only on the negative side, indeed the percentage of negatives and positives is greater on the negative side and maybe this is what makes the majority of people have a one-sided point of view. this is what you have to do with gambling by not doing it excessively, because if you do it excessively it is not good.

gambling that is done with a sense of responsibility is good, because most people who gamble irresponsibly are also detrimental to themselves, the destruction of life is determined by their own gambling. the possibility that someone can gamble responsibly is difficult, but this must be applied so that nothing happens that is not wanted, so many harmful effects of gambling if you do it excessively,.
So gamble within reason and it won't be a serious problem.

In the eyes of other people, gambling will always be marked as a negative thing, so it's not surprising to me about this, even though all gamblers should be able to play appropriately and not excessively so that they don't easily become addicted and have debts everywhere until they become bankrupt, that's the chaos that It is seen by other people that gambling has a bad impact, that's why I always emphasize that gambling should be a fun game.

I know it is difficult for someone who is in the lower middle economic class where they consider gambling as the only way that can provide instant wealth, but they forget that gambling is also what can make someone poor overnight, gamblers must be responsible because if they can't Anyone who does this should not try to gamble, there is a very high risk of gambling without proper control.

It's like a practice that he does yearly so he's not really after their money. What he does, he's even the one allocates his money for them.

This is a noble act to be honest because not all people can avail to do this especially when big amounts of money is involve that he'll going to do annually.

But because of his kindness and going back as a gambler as well, he's doing it the unconventional way wherein he's not the one that's going to enjoy but the people that he's been with. Well done.

[Orpichukwu]

I gamble for both the fun and the profit, which is to come from it. When I gamble and they win the game, there is one different kind of joy and excitement, which adds to the fun that you are already getting from the game.

If there is constant profit, then the game can keep going as you will not need to even make much of a budget from your personal earnings again for gambling expenses, but the profit can keep the table rolling.
 
The story of the old rich gambler in the OP is an interesting one, which I don't see as gambling on his side but just a game that he wants to use to bring people together, which is still one thing that sport is all about: interaction and fun. If others can pick up from what the man is doing, I believe the community will have less conflict.

[len01]

hearing your story, it seems like this person is very enthusiastic and passionate about holding an annual gambling event with interesting competitions and what's even more amazing is that he uses the prize budget from his own money. efforts like this are called gambling as fun because looking at your story, it is really very fun and this person indirectly brings together all the people who are not known so that they can get to know each other and definitely exchange experiences.

I'm sure he's not a gambling addict but he really thinks gambling is really fun so he always holds annual events that can make him happy and even the people around him and his friends who share in the fun can gamble together.
I am sure that person is very wise because he could have used a $5k budget to gamble alone but he chose to make his gambling more interesting by making an event like that and I really appreciate it.

this person indirectly provides a good example to other people who have positive thinking because this effort illustrates that this is fun gambling without having to expect big money.

[Davidvictorson]

I cannot see that this is gambling it is just a game they do for fun. If it were gambling money would be at stake or something of value would be at stake.
Games like this helps to Foster unity in the community and also it takes people's mind of the thought that they need to gamble to have fun or make money.
We can play games without gambling and still have the best fun ever.

I do agree on what Quidat had said that not all gamblers are considered to be addicts on which there are indeed whose playing for the sake of fun and passion in some sense but without needing on breaking their banks.

It is really that something situational i could say considering that not all human beings does have the same control when it comes to their finances or balance on which on the time that they've been dealing with gambling,
majority would really be that impulsive and ended up on losing that much because they dont really mind about the imposed risks to it and really just continue on the things on what they are believing.
Being responsible isnt really just that applicable to this but also in other decisions or aspects in life as well. It is really just that that there are ones who are good on decision making and there
are ones who do missed out on doing one.

When it comes to the situation been stated on op then this do really shows on how passionate that man is with gambling, not on the sense that he's addicted to it
but rather he is really that seeing this to be a past time not only to him but also into those person he do know. Giving back something into the community
isnt a feat that anyone could be able to do so.

Probably, gambling plays an important role in his life and maybe this is his way to give back to the community. We don’t have this kind of gambler in our place as we are more conservative though we have party during the year end but its not a gambling, its more of a contest. If the participants will not pay anything then it is indeed a contest even if the game is more about the gambling games.
