I think that the message that your friend sent to the group is a figure of speech, an irony, meaning the opposite of the message that he sent, because it's the opposite of everything he said that makes sense. He probably wants the other students in the group to use their thinking faculty to code that he actually meant the opposite, if it's not a joke, then the guy must have intentions to mislead gullible students in the group. Taking loan to gamble is desperation, which leads to addiction and believing that through gambling can lead you to your generational wealth, is an illusion, because it's one in a million chance to hit that kind of jackpot that can change your life, there's nothing fun about these mindsets.
I wouldn't blame the person asking others to take a loan for gambling or even just suggesting it, but I would blame the person who does it instead of thinking critically about it. When you grow up and become an adult, it becomes your responsibility to know what is good and what is bad for you and you shouldn't let anyone easily influence you to do certain things when those things are not good for you.

If I know that a person is asking me to do something that might sound good but it can have negative consequences in my life in the future, I wouldn't do it because I'm mature enough to understand what is good and what is bad for me and I wouldn't get influenced just by words or even actions if they are based on luck.

I agree - blaming the advisor is wrong. Adulthood is tested by decisions, notably financial ones like gambling debts. I think it tests maturity and foresight.

I like gambling, but responsibly. It may be fascinating when done carefully and within budget. Self-awareness and understanding the fine line between a fun flutter and a dangerous debt spiral are crucial.

I support having fun with gambling without loans. Its about enjoying tiny, controlled gambles; danger is part of the fun, not a path to financial ruin. Lets encourage vibrant alternatives without compromising our future.

Pictures like this shouldn’t be taken as a play, most people that are really desperate to make money from gambling will take this picture very serious, so pictures like this are just encouraging addiction in gambling, and it should be avoided, this is a way in which addicted gamblers are encouraging themselves, when you visit a gambling shop in my country, you are going to see gamblers motivating themselves like that.
If people could ignore it, they would not feel hopeless, would look for other avenues, and would not use gambling to make money. They know that gambling is just for fun and not a place to make money. They will also realize that if they play more often than before, let alone use too much money, they will experience a lot of losses and will not be able to recover their losses. And yes, that is what people will do to return to gambling because they think they are just a little away from getting their big win, even though it won't happen as easily as they imagine. They have to really see and realize that gambling is not a place to make money but just to have fun in their free time.

If they have that certain control from their emotions then it's really okay for them to gamble as they will not resort to gambling as source of finances but instead a venue that they can find enjoyment, there are people who are engaging to gambling with high aim to win big, thinking that with that mentality they will manage to win and can continue taking money out from the gambling house.

Just like what you said, gambling for fun and not to exceed will keep you away from getting addicted, gambling irresponsibly though will bring you to a big trouble and it will lead you to addiction.

It all matters with someones self control on which you wont really be putting up yourself on such great trouble if you are really just that mindful or careful within your actions.
Its not bad to make some betting with other people. Basing up on the situation or condition on OP that has been mentioned on which this isnt really totally sign of addiction but rather
it is really just that for the sake of fun specially you do know that the ones you are betting with or against with is with your co-workers on which it would be finding entertaining
and enjoyable on making bets with or together with them.

So if you dont really compromise out your salary on the way you do bet, then i would say that it is really just that completely fine. There are really just those
individuals who do end up miserable specially into their finances specially on the time that they do give out focus and importance the way they do spend on
gambling on which its a bad idea.

As long as they don’t take this motivational quote literally then everything is fine. Gambling can be a bonding activity among friends. Making a few friendly bets in a group chat is something normal that a lot of people do and they don’t necessarily view it as gambling because you don’t risk anything significant. If it’s an activity you are doing outside of group chats then it is your responsibility to not let it become a harmful habit. It might feel compulsory but if your friends are reasonable people they will understand if you need to take a break for a while.

Gambling can very well be a bonding activity amongst friends. But the kind of friends could determine how safe you’ll indulge in the activity. People could take the motivational quote literally. They can even take it and use it to motivate themselves, cheering themselves in whenever they incur losses. And the type of friends you gamble with would either help pull you out of that notion or swim with you in the sea of misery that would lead to addiction.

The motivational quote may really seem harmless as people wouldn’t really go on and follow such an advice, right? Wrong. People would motivate themselves and justify their actions with just about anything.

As you can see, they certainly have that control over emotion, so this is certainly fun as far as I am concerned. No big money was involved and they were doing it on their own and with a light mood. I do not see anything so serious here. Gambling is meant to be more committed in nature, it is such money that would be frowned upon, and also with strict set rules as we see on gambling platforms. It is either you lose or you win, and has nothing to do with the familiarity in their case. Also, in theirs, emotion will certainly not be present, they will do it and just be having fun, but this is not like that in reality where serious gambling is to be actualised. Theirs might not be tempting at the same time because they would have their limits and budget in such settings, but this is not so in the practical setting, which makes what they are doing to be mere fun and they can enjoy it while it lasts. But I pity any of them going to real gambling with that same mindset, it will be so ill and will be the opposite experience, to say the least.

Hopefully whoever posted that was kidding.

I take a cautious approach to gambling, in more reasonable  ways.
Provably fair lotteries , heavy rig rentals pointed to new and emerging pools, I have to see the odds, if it's a gamble on provably fair I usually hope for luck to be the least involved metric.  (But it can't be ignored)
It's never a sure thing but that's how I go about it.

Gambling isnt really that totally a problem as long you do make yourself that responsible on which this is a must thing that should really be done on the time that you do gamble. People would really be just simply messing up their lives on the time that they would really be going into those beyond your limitations. It is really just that depending on someones control on how they would really be able to interact with that.
The main issue on here is that not all people would really be having that kind of discipline when it comes to gambling thing or activity on which instead that they would really be doing things in moderation
but rather they do become that impulsive.

Gambling should really be that for fun and not something that you would really be thinking up well on how you would really be making some money because once you do find yourself
that being desperate on how you would be making yourself getting rich then this is where desperatation would be kicking in and this would really be that in result
into those devastation on which this is something that we dont really like to happen.

So in weekends in my departmental WhatsApp group, we just randomly talk about soccer bets and sometimes drop a particular game and keep it open for correct score prediction to be made on it, and the first person with the correct score goes home with a data subscription, this has been going on for almost two years now and people have gotten used to it without knowing it.

This is one of the chat I just bumped into by one of us in the group chat and at this point I feel most of my friend have made it compulsory to always gamble every weekend.



Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?

Mind you, we just enjoy the moment and might just joke around with people making predictions based on the teams,  they love but we are mostly gamblers at our different ends.



It is VERY difficult to say whether it is an addiction or not, because it is not clear whether the person wrote this seriously, out of emotion or being balanced. Maybe this is a form of humor or sarcasm
But if he wrote this completely seriously, then I cannot definitely say that he has problems with addiction, but I don’t like it. I mean this person may have problems with attachment to the game

I think this is nothing but a meme that pokes fun at how you guys have been at this gig for years now with little to no end in sight. Plus I personally wouldn't be this stoked even if I'm addicted to gambling for cellphone load, unless that thing's crazy expensive from where you guys live.In any case, as someone well-versed in the meme culture of gambling addiction memes I say this is nothing but sarcasm. He's most definitely seeing the hilarity in the setup you guys have and is either sending this to give you guys a little slap in the face to inform you you've been going at it for a while now and perhaps it's due time you guys stop this gig, or he could just be outright trolling to stir the pot and perhaps make you guys think he means this even though he's probably one of the first people to realize he's becoming addicted and perhaps should stop. I don't know though. I'm really just spitballing here.

Even if this was just a joke, due to the context in which this happen in which the members of that group have made bets for 2 years in a row, it seems safe to me to speculate that some of them may have some problems, as betting for so long when combined with that kind of message may seem to indicate that they are not planning to stop, and unless a person is very wealthy, betting for that amount of time is bound to get them in trouble.

Whether you do like it or not then its none of ours business if someone would really be attached into these kind of betting on which we do know that this is something that will vary into each person on which
we do know that there are ones who are really that get interested on making bets with their friends and not necessarily that they will be betting some real money on which we do know that you could be also be able to bet
like treating a dinner or snacks or whatsoever that it could be possibly be applied. This is why it would really be just that normal that there would really be some sort of behavior on making bets in between
co or fellow workers such as this. I dont see any form of addiction even if its done on day to day basis.

As long you wont really be making  yourself that spending too much money with those bets then it should really be just that fine and since its really just that for the sake of fun
then it would really be that just fine for you to get engaged with. So its none of our business on what they would really be gonna doing with their lives. Smiley

If they have that certain control from their emotions then it's really okay for them to gamble as they will not resort to gambling as source of finances but instead a venue that they can find enjoyment, there are people who are engaging to gambling with high aim to win big, thinking that with that mentality they will manage to win and can continue taking money out from the gambling house.

Just like what you said, gambling for fun and not to exceed will keep you away from getting addicted, gambling irresponsibly though will bring you to a big trouble and it will lead you to addiction.
Most gamblers have no control over their emotions and will become increasingly emotional when they experience loss after loss. This will not make them try to stop their gambling activities but make them increasingly try to recover their losses. They will still see gambling as a place to make money, even though that is the wrong idea. If they are willing to learn from the mistakes they have made, they will not want to repeat them and will try to limit their gambling activities.

Getting a big win can happen to you but we don't know when we will get that big win. We should not chase victory because it will not happen easily. We should always be able to limit our gambling activities so that we will experience serious problems that we cannot afford. Playing gambling for fun is enough for us because we only use gambling in our free time and don't make gambling a routine that we always have to do. It will keep us out of trouble and allow us to enjoy gambling as it should be.

As long as they don’t take this motivational quote literally then everything is fine. Gambling can be a bonding activity among friends. Making a few friendly bets in a group chat is something normal that a lot of people do and they don’t necessarily view it as gambling because you don’t risk anything significant. If it’s an activity you are doing outside of group chats then it is your responsibility to not let it become a harmful habit. It might feel compulsory but if your friends are reasonable people they will understand if you need to take a break for a while.

Gambling can very well be a bonding activity amongst friends. But the kind of friends could determine how safe you’ll indulge in the activity. People could take the motivational quote literally. They can even take it and use it to motivate themselves, cheering themselves in whenever they incur losses. And the type of friends you gamble with would either help pull you out of that notion or swim with you in the sea of misery that would lead to addiction.

The motivational quote may really seem harmless as people wouldn’t really go on and follow such an advice, right? Wrong. People would motivate themselves and justify their actions with just about anything.

Gambling is a form of entertainment people want to add some spice to the game reason to have wages, and if you are a responsible gambler you know your limits even if there's a friend with you sometimes having those friends who keep pushing you and get bad influence to lose more money, not all friends are there's to enjoy sometimes you just need to know who is you real friends are. Those suggestions and opinions came from the person might lead you in a wrong direction. Listen to people carefully who you trust with. Not all friends are there when you don't have any.

Pictures like this shouldn’t be taken as a play, most people that are really desperate to make money from gambling will take this picture very serious, so pictures like this are just encouraging addiction in gambling, and it should be avoided, this is a way in which addicted gamblers are encouraging themselves, when you visit a gambling shop in my country, you are going to see gamblers motivating themselves like that.
If people could ignore it, they would not feel hopeless, would look for other avenues, and would not use gambling to make money. They know that gambling is just for fun and not a place to make money. They will also realize that if they play more often than before, let alone use too much money, they will experience a lot of losses and will not be able to recover their losses. And yes, that is what people will do to return to gambling because they think they are just a little away from getting their big win, even though it won't happen as easily as they imagine. They have to really see and realize that gambling is not a place to make money but just to have fun in their free time.

If they have that certain control from their emotions then it's really okay for them to gamble as they will not resort to gambling as source of finances but instead a venue that they can find enjoyment, there are people who are engaging to gambling with high aim to win big, thinking that with that mentality they will manage to win and can continue taking money out from the gambling house.

Just like what you said, gambling for fun and not to exceed will keep you away from getting addicted, gambling irresponsibly though will bring you to a big trouble and it will lead you to addiction.
As you can see, they certainly have that control over emotion, so this is certainly fun as far as I am concerned. No big money was involved and they were doing it on their own and with a light mood. I do not see anything so serious here. Gambling is meant to be more committed in nature, it is such money that would be frowned upon, and also with strict set rules as we see on gambling platforms. It is either you lose or you win, and has nothing to do with the familiarity in their case. Also, in theirs, emotion will certainly not be present, they will do it and just be having fun, but this is not like that in reality where serious gambling is to be actualised. Theirs might not be tempting at the same time because they would have their limits and budget in such settings, but this is not so in the practical setting, which makes what they are doing to be mere fun and they can enjoy it while it lasts. But I pity any of them going to real gambling with that same mindset, it will be so ill and will be the opposite experience, to say the least.
Gambling isnt really that totally a problem as long you do make yourself that responsible on which this is a must thing that should really be done on the time that you do gamble. People would really be just simply messing up their lives on the time that they would really be going into those beyond your limitations. It is really just that depending on someones control on how they would really be able to interact with that.
The main issue on here is that not all people would really be having that kind of discipline when it comes to gambling thing or activity on which instead that they would really be doing things in moderation
but rather they do become that impulsive.

Gambling should really be that for fun and not something that you would really be thinking up well on how you would really be making some money because once you do find yourself
that being desperate on how you would be making yourself getting rich then this is where desperatation would be kicking in and this would really be that in result
into those devastation on which this is something that we dont really like to happen.

That's true, if you can still control yourself well then gambling will not have serious negative impacts, and many people become addicted to the point of experiencing big losses because they lack self-control so they gamble excessively or exceed their limits. and with the belief that they can get a big win, they will continue to gamble even if the gambling they do only ends in defeat and becomes an impulsive act.

gambling is not to make money, that is not the main purpose of gambling, because as you said, gambling must really be for entertainment, and I always emphasize that people who gamble must be able to accept the money they lose in gambling because they lose in gambling. it can't be avoided either. except that avoiding big losses can be done by having good self-control, but it is very rare for people to have good self-control when gambling, many of them gamble without self-control, causing big losses, then no It's strange that many people experience big losses by gambling because it is each individual's fault.

"Gamble responsibly" is like "eat cake in moderation" at a birthday celebration. Theory is simple, practice is hard. Human nature craves excitement and adventure. Unfortunately, not everyone has a self-control switch. This is about addressing the music, not criticizing gambling or its fans. Gambling entertainment? Unmatched. Risk of spiraling? High. The difference between a harmless flutter and a deep dive is thin. Financial smart is making money and not losing it on a whim.

What about accepting losses? Lets not forget that many find that loss tougher to accept than imagined. Good self-control and a society that views gambling as amusement with dangers are the solutions. Learn, prepare, and enjoy, but never at the expense of economic security. Remember, the house always wins, so play smart and cautious.

It's true that all friends are not the same. No matter how good a friend is in a gambling place motivational quotes work less. Here everyone tries to win for themselves. In good times everyone is by your side and in bad times no friends can be found. If it becomes an addiction you have to pay for your own mistakes. May unique awesomeness and positive energy inspire confidence in others. Wherever you go whatever the weather always bring your own sunshine if you want light in life then you have to play for fun and learn to control emotions.

And the type of friends you gamble with would either help pull you out of that notion or swim with you in the sea of misery that would lead to addiction.

The motivational quote may really seem harmless as people wouldn’t really go on and follow such an advice, right? Wrong. People would motivate themselves and justify their actions with just about anything.
It's true that all friends are not the same. No matter how good a friend is in a gambling place motivational quotes work less. Here everyone tries to win for themselves. In good times everyone is by your side and in bad times no friends can be found. If it becomes an addiction you have to pay for your own mistakes. May unique awesomeness and positive energy inspire confidence in others. Wherever you go whatever the weather always bring your own sunshine if you want light in life then you have to play for fun and learn to control emotions.
We cant make out those generalizations since there are really those friends that could really be found on the time that you are on such tough problem and there are ones who do leave you behind.
This is the time that you could really be able to make those differentiations in speaking about those type of friends.Going back into the topic about playing or making betting in between friends or
co-workers then i dont see any problems into this one on which it would really be just that as long you are really just that doing it for fun and not spending too much money came from your own
salary then this is a form of entertainment that you could really be able to enjoy. Everything would really be depending on moderation as always.

That's true, if you can still control yourself well then gambling will not have serious negative impacts, and many people become addicted to the point of experiencing big losses because they lack self-control so they gamble excessively or exceed their limits. and with the belief that they can get a big win, they will continue to gamble even if the gambling they do only ends in defeat and becomes an impulsive act.

gambling is not to make money, that is not the main purpose of gambling, because as you said, gambling must really be for entertainment, and I always emphasize that people who gamble must be able to accept the money they lose in gambling because they lose in gambling. it can't be avoided either. except that avoiding big losses can be done by having good self-control, but it is very rare for people to have good self-control when gambling, many of them gamble without self-control, causing big losses, then no It's strange that many people experience big losses by gambling because it is each individual's fault.
"Gamble responsibly" is like "eat cake in moderation" at a birthday celebration. Theory is simple, practice is hard. Human nature craves excitement and adventure. Unfortunately, not everyone has a self-control switch. This is about addressing the music, not criticizing gambling or its fans. Gambling entertainment? Unmatched. Risk of spiraling? High. The difference between a harmless flutter and a deep dive is thin. Financial smart is making money and not losing it on a whim.

What about accepting losses? Lets not forget that many find that loss tougher to accept than imagined. Good self-control and a society that views gambling as amusement with dangers are the solutions. Learn, prepare, and enjoy, but never at the expense of economic security. Remember, the house always wins, so play smart and cautious.

Exactly, this is very easy to say but difficult to implement. and also not everyone has good self-control so they gamble excessively. thinking about how to gamble without losing large amounts of money is something that must be done, but in reality gambling can make everyone lulled, so it is not strange if there are gamblers who take out loans to gamble when their own capital has run out. I also think that gambling can make someone addicted.

Well, that's the problem, actually, if we can accept defeat well, maybe bad things won't happen, but no, in reality, many people can't accept defeat. That's what you have to do, learn to accept reality, prepare for losses that will occur, and enjoy the gambling you do, win or lose, just enjoy it and accept it, because it has become something that is certain to happen in gambling, even though losses will occur more often. It's true what you said, the house will always win, therefore we have to be able to gamble smartly, including using winnings correctly, cashing out winnings is a smart choice.

When the right advice is so well-known and yet there are many people that fail to follow it, this is a clear indication that taking the wrong path is simply too tempting to most people, gambling is really fun, that is undeniable, however the consequences of losing a lot of money are not fun at all, it is because of this many of us despite the enjoyment we may get out of gambling do what we can to avoid becoming addicted to it, as getting over an addiction is incredibly difficult.
