Gambling is not a means to an end, Do it for fun and don't take it as a job

[Hewlet]

One of the reasons why people easily get addicted to gambling is when they start their journey into gambling just so they can solve their financial crisis.

Most of the people around me that are strongly into gambling and would even dress up in the morning as though they are going to work and go straight to the soccer betting shop are individual that don't have a job they are doing and that have seen people win big money through gambling and so all their mind is fixed at getting their own win also.

Some will even do small jobs just so they can get the money they will use in gambling with the mindset that it is through that gambling that they will be freed from poverty.

Once you find yourself in that condition just know that you are going to waste your time, money and energy in gambling and the reality is that most of the people that have a fixed mentality that they must win in their gambling are the ones that always loose their money in process.

Gambling is not a means to an end and their is no guarantee that you must win in the process so just do your prediction and enjoy the fun, if you win, thumbs up for you but if you don't win don't allow it get at you and don't assume you can always win back your money, learn and master the right time to walk away.

nice dress up like they are going to an office. wanna show the people around them that they have an office job and can take care of themselves. living a lie.

waking up in the morning and dressing up must be tiresome for them, have you not suggested that they can do it online?
this way if they could just bet online they may be able to find a real job and stretch their muscles.

I am honestly quite surprised that there are really some people who are dedicated to gambling; I mean, it is all fun and games until you experience your first losing streak and thereby end your whole career slowly with all the nonstop bets that you make.

At the end of the day, the house always wins due to the presence of house edge. If you truly want to maximize your earnings, then play card games such as poker, blackjack, etc. in order to at least control the game with your skill (e.g. bluffing, etc.) to your advantage.

Sports betting may also be done but do not treat it as something that you should completely rely on for your monthly income. If you view it as a means to an end, then expect things to slowly suffer from your end as you are relying on something that is very inconsistent.

Walking away is always the biggest dilemma of most gambler because there’s always an expectation to win more or recover losses on your next bet that’s why many gamblers keep playing while they still have available balance to play.

One thing I learn about gambling is always setting a target profit and stop loss before I stop playing. Having a profit over my target is just a bonus in case I win huge amount on a single jackpot bet. I always immediately stop gambling whenever this condition was triggered. So Yeah, mastering how to walk away is really a must for every gambler because this is the hardest part of the game especially if you still have balance that is lower to your initial deposit.

Gambling is not a means to an end, Do it for fun and don't take it as a job.

This is absolutely good advice for a newbie gambler or any gambler who thinks they can earn a living out of gambling. That's obviously what leads to gambling addiction—losing more than they expected and becoming frustrated.

Have read Request to learn gambling. I did not actually know what motivated the girl to believe that she could make money from gambling, and if perhaps she did not inquire from me and I discouraged her, had it been that she just ventured into gambling by herself without asking me, she probably would have gotten addicted and lost all her savings.

Gambling is for fun, and despite the fact that we enjoy the winnings that we make from it, that's not a reason to handle gambling as if it's a source of income.

Will people ever learn? I don't think there will ever be a time where people would fondly treat gambling as a way for fun and not a way to make money. As long as the economy keeps kicking people out of jobs and making people out of jobs have difficulty in getting new jobs keeping them jobless and unemployed, there always will be people who will gamble with the little they have to try to get more because in gambling they find hope that they can at least earn something to even afford them a proper meal or money to start up little business. It is a wrong thing, but it does not stop them from doing it. A poor man or woman who gambles will certainly not be gambling just for having fun.

[asyakashi]

sometimes the situation is quite different, most people who have a small economy often get caught up in gambling and use it as a hope, in contrast to people who have enough economy they gamble with pleasure

[komisariatku]

Yes, you are right, gambling is not a good way to make money and the more we chase winning, the more we usually lose. The only way to win in gambling is when we are able to control our emotions and play carefully and only choose sports matches that have a high chance of winning.

We should determine a budget for gambling so that when we lose we don't run out of all our money and when our gambling budget runs out we should be able to stop even though we still have money. Many members here can do that and they only allocate around 5% or 10% of their salary to gambling so that when losses comes it will not affect their financial condition.

Even though we know that gambling is an activity for fun, I am sure that all gamblers must have experience chasing losses, especially those who are new to gambling. When we have experienced a big loss, we only realize that what we did was wrong, and usually from experience they start to be able to gamble responsibly, but there are also those who become even more addicted because they hope that their losses can be back

People who take gambling as a job are just being too lazy to take up any real job and earn money. They are daydreamers who just want to wear that fancy clothes, building that fancy house,  buy the nicest car and enjoy themselves without necessarily having to stress themselves earning the money they need to finance this fancy lifestyle. Many of them who take up gambling as a job do not bother to invest their money in other profitable ventures when they eventually win. They are full time gamblers.

Being among these category of gamblers might seem sweet until your family and friends begin to see you as a lazy and irresponsible fellow. Who else would be happy with someone who invests every little amount of money that enters his hands into gambling without wanting to get any real job? One of the long term effects of gambling as a job is that it configures the brain of the gambler to believe that gambling is the only way. Even when he is seriously suffering financially, he still believes tomorrow will be better.

This is what usually happens to every gambler, sometimes gamblers have too many inappropriate goals, usually they gamble tend to want to make money, they hope their gambling will be profitable and don't think they will experience losses, even though it has been explained that gambling is not just talking about winning but also about what defeat is, especially always expecting a profit but forgetting about losing money, every gambler must understand both sides.

When they win they should be able to enjoy their winnings by withdrawing the money. Likewise, when they lose they should not try to make another deposit just to recover their losses, there is still time tomorrow to get another lucky break, after all as gamblers you have to learn from experience that the dealer will always win when We really chase money, but we can also feel victory when we consider gambling to be just entertainment. it all comes back to mindset

[Oshosondy]

Like I have always said, that a gambler needs a budget which should be the gambling budget and it should not be more than 1% of their weekly income which is what is recommended. But as for me, I still go up to 2 to 5% which is not affecting me and not all the time that I am gambling. If a gambler do not have determination to have a gambling budget which is low enough not to cause financial problem if lost to gambling, that gambler is not yet a good gambler and most likely that the gambler will not gamble responsibly which may lead to addiction.

People can take it as the jobs ~XD

Example: Streamer, Poker Profesional. As long you can control and manage your self, these industry have some potential. Especially on (Streamer) the money flow is really big as you can see the contract between Stake - Influencer

It's really rolling.

[Findingnemo]

If someone is only gambling as their full-time activity then they are already addicted to it and this advice won't make a teeny change in their approach, they might learn their lesson in the hard way. But for someone who is just starting their gambling then this might be a good suggestion but how many of the people read about how to do it until it becomes too late?

If gambling becomes a concern for an individual then better to avoid gambling at all is my advice because risk may end up forcing things to do even if they are not willing to do.

[robelneo]

If there's a way for a regular gambler to make a living out of gambling, then the government will include gambling in their database but it's just impossible to do it, you cannot make a living by betting but you can get a job in the gambling industry like a dealer, a waiter an entertainer a manager or even a security guard in a physical casino and a support specialist and developers and coders in an online casinos.
But as a bettor, it's just impossible, many have tried and all of them failed although there are a few exceptions, but just because there's an exception you can easily get in that elite group.
If you want to make a living in gambling, do so not as a bettor but as part of the casino operation.

Since the level of employment in the world is very high, there are people that do take gambling as there own job and they are eager to get themselves skilled and make sure they understand every corners in gambling so that they can make money more and get a better lifestyle for themselves.
We don't even need to go look for a job, once we develop ourselves and make sure we are equipped with things that would guarantee our future, then all we need is to go for it.
There are people that are more specialized in gambling and knows how to strategize to make more profits in gambling without even bothering about getting a job because they are okay with what they are doing.

Some people end up even selling their belongings on the process or quest to make this money. Having the thinking of to change the story of their family by gambling. which only turn you to a chronic gambler. Gambling is just a game of luck and not what to put your entire interest on, otherwise you will become a laughing stock to the public.

[leonair]

People take gambling seriously as long as they win.  If they win, they think that gambling is an easy way to earn money for them. Those who continue to gamble with this motive suffer. And those who gamble for fun in their spare time or to keep themselves happy and have the ability to lose the money they deposit and if they don't care about their losses then they will understand the real fun of gambling.  Gambling can never be like a job for someone nor can gambling be a regular source of income for someone. It's just a fun place. It does not lead to bad experiences for those who accept gambling as only fun

[bitbollo]

gambling is just fun and no more.
if people want make this activity as a real job... they need to work really hard and even in this case profit are low or maybe inconsistent with hard work done. We have seen tons of people trying to do this but without a "professional" approach, there is just a chance to fail.

[Heartilly]

Gambling for fun is a shit reason. You gamble to expect profit in return. Why gamble for only fun? It might be right that don't take gambling as a job or career but once you gamble, don't make it just for fun because losing is not fun. Even if you afford to lose that money used in gambling, you won't realize how much you are losing now just because you are having fun.

If you want to make fun, do other things instead, and don't gamble.

[Yatsan]

Easy to say but hard to apply to ourselves, why? Gambling involves money and it just happened that money is necessary to make a living. We cannot sinply tell other people to afford what they are losing sinply because they have the desire to win in the first place. Some are even hoping to be rich in an instant. Let's just say assuming that these are all games would be a good mindset however we are all moving across different circumstances. Sine has the drive to be rich simply because that's something they percieve as the solution to their problems which will always be valid.

I do get the point; we shouldn't be putting everything in gambling 'coz losing is more likely to happen in the long run. However, it would be a worse advice to just play and enjoy things even if players are losing from time to time. We don't know the story of each of us but for sure we aren't just doing things 'coz we have to; we have our own freewill of things. Some are in the first place earning consistently and ofcourse there are others who are struggling; just a common scenario with gambling.
