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

[iBaba]

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

Well I see that as a weak and negative mindset to gambling. If you are gambling because you have meagre resources and want to earn a living as a gambler, it is a very wrong decision as far as I am concerned because it will end up ruining the person's financial life and well-being. People who have small economy should do less of fun things to make money, since gambling is also a way of catching fun. They should diversify in different businesses to scale up their business opportunities.

But of course a lot of people caught up in this situation, gambling with the intention of making more money. I will say that is wrong and they should have instead think of creative ideas that can even create gambling platform ls or games like you.

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.

Or better still, people can pay more attention into creating the gambling platforms with the intention of making more money through it. Like those creating casino games out there, many of us can come up with much creative platforms and betting games that will interest gamblers thereby making a living from it.

Yes they are leading their life with gambling. But normal people if they want to take gambling as a profession and leave their job then that could be foolish work for them. Because if you  take risk big amount and you faces losses if you are not able to recover it then you suffer a lot. Gambling is not made for everyone. Taking it as a profession it's risky for normal people that can distroy financial condition of a normal people.

This is a common topic that gambling always should take for fun purpose not any others. Those publics who took gambling for another purpose always will suffer. I have lot's of public who took gambling as a sourch of their income those lazy people don't do any others job aan at the end of the day the run away for a big debt.

Yes, but in order to be a streamer you have to be successful. As you say, people who play poker, and I would add sports betting, can take it as a job but today if they start from scratch it's going to take a lot more time and effort than it did 10 years ago. The normal thing is to start learning while doing other activities, such as work or studies, and when you see that you are progressing and earning more money there is a moment when you can consider becoming a professional and dedicate yourself to it. Being a streamer, or influencer, is an addition to the income from the game, because what you earn by broadcasting, making videos or advertising is extra income.

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.

Gambling is not a job and gambling is not a place to make money instantly. It is a big mistake if anyone considers gambling as a solution to financial problems. In most cases, financial problems increase due to gambling addiction which is increasingly difficult to control. I used this topic as an example Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me. He tried to take back the money he had spent by increasing his bets and daring to take out a loan from the bank just to gamble. In the end, he unconsciously made his life even tighter with the burden of paying off the loan. This story is an illustration for people who consider gambling as a solution that can solve their financial crisis.

"No guarantee." Those are the keywords that define gambling. We play, we take the risk, and we should also be ready to lose at a higher percentage than flipping a coin choosing heads or tails. Gambling doesn't mean it will help us get out of poverty, it could be the other way around if we keep on losing. We may get lucky, that's true for some gamblers but the percentage is so low especially if we are playing casino games.
Now, when it comes to sports betting, there's always a good chance there as long as we know what we are doing. I've seen many successful sports gamblers while others are having trouble because their emotions win more than the analysis. Betting for your favorite team because we are a fan of them should be taken out of the picture especially if that team really sucks at their sport.
Be wise, if we are betting, let's make sure it's a win, if we try and gamble for heavy underdogs then let's make sure that the funds that will be used for that bet would not hurt our financial status.

It is people without job that spend their whole day daily in bet shops gambling in the reliance that their financial misery and  joblessness could be solved by constant efforts on gambling but instead of them achieve it as they had hoped for their condition rather gets perpetually exacerbated from bad to worst.

Getting a paying job irrespective of how small in amount it is and whether because of it size it is shortlived before the month gets to an end yet it's still better than never having a job at all to depending solely on gambling for a save haven for in as much as the winning edge is with the house you are just at their mercy. A job is certain for payment at the end of the week or month but is not so with gambling for it's a game predominantly based on luck/chance.

what I know now is that after the development of technology, there are lots of online gambling advertisements, even influencers who share videos of their big wins, which have now indoctrinated the minds of people who dont gamble to want to gamble with the assumption that "gambling can make big money."
so I would not be surprised if currently the number of gambling addicts in all countries is increasing because they misunderstand how gambling works and only think instantly about the advertisements they see even though the advertisements or videos shared by these influencers are just one example that gambling provides pleasure, not that it means give big money and this is what I mean, that actually I dont blame any party but the fact is that currently many people consider gambling to be a place to make money or make a profit.

anyone must understand this that we must really instill the mindset that gambling is a profitable business for the gambling owner and as a gambler you will never win against the house so that you continue to gamble responsibly considering that gambling is truly a fun place to seek entertainment, not to seek profit.

[naira]

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.

When everything boils down to luck-based gambling, the answer is of course nothing is certain. Therefore, we need to have financial management so that we can limit which money is for betting and which money is not for betting. As long as you still rely on mixed-up finances, you will certainly be at risk of losing everything without self-control and risk management. Gamblers who come with uncertain conditions, depending on everything on one bet, do not guarantee 100% that they can achieve their goals.

but we cannot lead someone to refrain from gambling regardless of whether their money is stable or not everything is done to seek big wins. Always use healthy management if you want to gamble, even though it is difficult, it is worth trying.

But you can't say that to the majority of beginners who still think that they can earn money by gambling. They are still trapped in the wrong mindset that by gambling they can earn money and change their current conditions for the better. Even more, they have the argument that if they gamble consistently it will be able to get them closer to winning, so they make gambling a daily activity that can give them the opportunity to earn money.

[kotajikikox]

That is what most trying to say , Enjoy gambling and not to take this as a profiteering place but do we really understand this as a gambler or as a non gambler? because this is depending on our perspective in life/
some gambles to have fun but many are gambling to earn money , and as a human this is an instinct that input in our mind even when we start to gamble.
yes we can enjoy but we cannot take the belief that we might go home with huge money , but doing this as a JOB is truly stupidity and will never bring you better result .

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.

When we have the mindset that we're going to solve our financial crisis with gambling, we're doing the wrong thing as we'll regrets when we discover that instead of solving the financial crisis, we're getting ourselves into more crisis. Gambling isn't an activity that you can rely on to make money everyday or everytime that you gamble. Gambling depends on luck and no individual can be lucky every day. Look for other things to do to make money that is very reliable.

Gambling as a means to solve your financial problems will make you gamble more than you can handle and this will make you get addicted which is the worst thing that can happen to an individual as it makes you go out of control to do everything to satisfy your gambling tastes regardless of if you're winning or losing you won't care. All you're after is just to get the feeling that comes from gambling.

[Hypnosis00]

The sad thing is that most gamblers assume to win...even if they lose today, they also think there is tomorrow hoping for their luck to come.
Such thinking has a negative impact on our lives as it leads us to gamble more hoping one day we get lucky. Instead, we want to enjoy gambling, we are now in the chase of making money because that is on our mind.

As we can see, only a few gamblers think that gambling is a sort of entertainment while most of us consider this as an opportunity to earn money.

[SeaCoinCollector.]

Your ideas about what makes people become addicted to gaming, especially the allure of using gambling to get out of financial trouble, are very smart. People who are having trouble with money often fall into this trap, and your observations about people trying to be like people who have won a lot of money at gaming show how dangerous it can be. It's very important to know that gaming isn't always a good way to solve money problems, as you said. People who gamble should do it with the intention of having fun, learn when to stop, and not always believe they can get back what they've lost. Having your point of view helps to encourage responsible gambling and realistic goals.

Being a streamer, or influencer, is an addition to the income from the game, because what you earn by broadcasting, making videos or advertising is extra income.

Moreover, becoming a streamer isn't that simple; set aside whether or not someone is successful in gambling. There're literally tons of streamers out there; why would anyone watch you? Are you capable of providing something different for your audience, or are you just like anyone else? It's the exact same thing when everyone thought they could suddenly become a YouTube content creator, providing generic content with no diversification.

You can become a professional gambler; does that mean that you should? The majority of us ultimately lose money from gambling; an even smaller percentage would be capable of turning it into a profession; it would require an abundance of time to analyze sports betting because that field is supposedly based on knowledge as well, and even then, there are certainly no guarantees.

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.

I see people here in my place doing the same scenario where in their minds they can bring food and money to their family or whatsoever. They even use the hard earned money they got to just place it in a cockfight that does not guarantee any winnings. They end up miserable and their family just messed up and kids were affected by that. They don't treat gambling something for fun but to have a hope of doubling the hard earned money they got.

[MainIbem]

It's common in our country Nigeria where you see an normal person dressed up and wore a cloth straight up to the gambling office and of course I have seen even road sidehalkers those who sells Okpa, sachet water and any mores of roadside halkable goods dressed up on corporate selling those things. Seeing someone who dressed up that way won't be something new anymore because it something usual in our country.

The fact I will like people to understand is that people their total dependency in gambling makes me looks as if they are not responsible or even reasoning out of the box. We should learn to start small maybe seek for another job the we could rely on our daily bread from instead of put that fate that one day we make it big from gambling.

[gabbie2010]

If you really care to know that in third world countries where there is high rate of unemployment the jobless youths had resorted to gambling to make ends meet, of course dressing corporately to gambling shop is just a camouflage just to show that they are working, I believe a lot of them are earning decent income from their gambling activities in as much as they are not addicted to it and the fact that they didn't engaged in any crime to earn their income I don't see any thing bad in their gambling activities while in the gambling shops they have the opportunity of sharing tips, analyze games and share ideas all in a bid to win reasonable amount of money to sustain their lives.

Gambling will only become a means to an end or a job when you are the owner of the gambling place or casino or you work as a staff there. But gambling can never be a job if you adjust regular gambler who receives the gambling place or casino or even bets online because you are a customer to these businesses and your loss is what funds their profits. If as a gambler you begin to think of how to make gambling a Source of income you need to first turn it into a business by first investing in opening up a gambling place, platform or a casino. That is the only time that gambling will then become a job to you.

I don't think it's accurate to claim that gambling can never be a job for regular gamblers. There are professional gamblers who make a living through strategic and skilled play, particularly in games like poker. Maybe they don't regularly earn a living on winning bets, but they have sponsors to support them playing the game for entertainmnet. Professional gamblers treat gambling as a serious endeavor, applying strategic approaches, statistical analysis, and risk management to gain an edge. Some individuals have successfully turned gambling into a consistent source of income through careful study, discipline, and dedication to their craft.

Responsible gambling and a deep understanding of the associated risks are crucial for anyone who takes this path. Not everyone can succeed in making gambling a sustainable source of income, and for many, it can lead to financial losses. Therefore, while it's possible for some people to turn gambling into a job, it comes with significant challenges and is not a guaranteed path for everyone.
