Proverbs and Sayings that Act as Triggers to Gambling

[wxa7115]

Just as we have expressed our concerns about certain gambling advertisements serving as potential triggers, I have observed and I think that there are gambling proverbs or quotes can also play a role in influencing individuals. Look at this Chinese proverb, "If you don’t gamble, you won’t know how lucky you are." From this proverb, it can spur a regular person to explore gambling as a means to test their luck and become hooked. Also, the person who has been gambling will want to continue gambling while being hopeful that someday they would eventually be lucky and hit the jackpot.

What other proverbs or sayings could potentially act as triggers, enticing individuals to initiate or perpetuate their gambling activities?

There are probably too many to count, and this is because we know that in order to achieve great deeds, great risks have to be taken, however the risk and the reward should at least be proportional otherwise it does not make much sense to take a risk for a very small reward.

And while I enjoy to gamble and it is a very entertaining hobby, at the same time I realize that those that are aiming to obtain profits out of it are taking a risk that is too high since chances are they will never obtain the reward they are looking for.

In this regard, I can note that there is a very good Russian proverb that may be useful to gambling fans. It goes like this: “He who doesn’t take risks, doesn’t drink champagne.” Apparently, champagne used to be considered a high-society drink and implied that taking risks led to success. There is a similar proverb: “Risk is a noble cause.” These sayings are beautiful, but the cruel reality is that they do not correspond well to the nature of gambling. Success in gambling is closely related to good risk management and proper bank management. This means that we need to limit risk in every possible way. Risk should only be accepted if it is associated with a good reward and this risk is not fatal to you.

Is there really a saying that says something about gambling? even though the proverb should say things that motivate a person's life and saying about gambling is not a good motivation but like baiting someone to do bad things, this is like an influencer who advertises gambling so that he motivates people to gamble even though the influencer's goal is only to promote the site gambling and of course casinos like it if more and more people gamble because that's why they make a profit.

Another proverb that can trigger gambling is "keep gambling every day so you know when luck will come your way" like a quote I once read on this forum, even though the more you gamble will only lead to addiction and very deep losses, this is not recommended for anyone who only want to chase luck because this ambition will increasingly plunge you into uncontrolled gambling and irresponsible gambling.

Take "Lady Luck smiles upon you." That luck is capricious and coy is ingrained in this phrase and mindset. Gambling ain't fairytale.

I can't help thinking about humanity. Gamblers remember these sayings. "You've got to be in it to win it" is almost mocking, driving the weak deeper into the rabbit hole.

Antidote? Reality, education, and awareness. Gambling should entertain, not deceive. Reframe these sayings, remove their romanticized sheen, and reveal them as words, not fate. It's about choices, not chances.

Well it creates this feeling that you're missing out on potential winnings unless you join in. This kind of message might push folks to try their luck in gambling, thinking they need to be part of it to have any shot at winning something big

Yes and this message is what makes many people hope to win and get money from gambling, but it also comes back to the views of every gambler because not everyone takes this message too seriously and in the end they are well controlled when gambling and responsible when gambling. The point is to always control yourself when gambling, even though there may be an opportunity to win and get big money at gambling, don't make it a benchmark that you have to chase.

Gambling requires a healthy mindset, why don't you have to chase money and win because basically humans have a greedy nature that is difficult to control, so that's what makes people sometimes forget themselves when gambling and go beyond their limits and end up becoming addicted to gambling, this message actually invites anyone to try their luck, but of course, with quotation marks, they must be responsible and have good control because without that, of course they will gamble recklessly which will ultimately harm themselves in gambling.

Hobby? making it something that on active manner would really be just that putting you on potential gambling addiction on which this is something which it isnt really that recommended but if you are dealing gambling
with having that kind of control and moderation then it would really be just that fine but if you are really that dealing with it with having that kind of money making mindset then this is where shit things do really happen.
This is why it would really be that important that you should really be having the control. Speaking about those sayings or proverbs then i dont really believe much that it could really be the main reason on why
people would really be dying on playing gambling just because they had been able to read up the line which this is something that could changed up someones personality and this is why
it is really that important that self control and moderation would be the key.

Sometimes proverbs or speech serve as a great motivation for gamblers. I have heard of some gamblers I know who sometimes gave up gambling but they decided to start gambling again after hearing some motivational words. But those words are really true. If luck favors gambling, there is a chance of winning the jackpot but the luck will not return for the person who refrains from trying. A gambler must try. If he tries, he can get his destiny one time. These words are not only motivational but also true. I just want to say if try you will get the chance.

There is no doubt what you say because these proverbs or sayings will make gamblers enthusiastic to continue their gambling game. They no longer think about loss but will try to pursue a win even though they know it is difficult to achieve.
They think they will be lucky this time, win the gambling game, and take home some money. But in reality, they still have difficulty winning some money so that still doesn't stop them from gambling.
Gamblers will continue to try to get lucky even if it means they have to use more money. That is a situation that is often experienced by many gamblers so we should not follow it and always limit our gambling.

It serves as a motivation to some but, doesn't it sound like you're just putting someone's trust in things that are uncertain? Because we know that no matter what we motivate a person, they still have the feeling that they hope that they might win or that their life might change if they continue gambling.
maybe it's better if we don't say words that we're not sure will happen because we know how gambling goes, it often depends on a person's luck or their own style of how to gamble. It is better that we teach others how to handle themselves correctly when gambling, rather than encouraging them with motivational words that are not sure if the same thing that happened to others will happen to them.

There is a saying in my country from one of the academics as well as people who are considered smart in their fields, namely "Life that is not bet on will not win" this is if consumed in the wrong way with the wild understanding of gamblers that we need to bet to get a win rather than nothing, sometimes sentences like this miss communication or someone misunderstands the phrase that the person wants to convey.

This often happens and may trigger a person to try gambling in their life or become more enthusiastic about gambling in their life.

Only newbies and those addicted to gambling will believe in these proverbs, they embrace these sayings so they can justify why they should continue to gamble, these sayings will benefit casinos and they want gamblers to believe that it is a fact, they want you to have that mantra because as long as you hold on to these proverbs and mantras the money will keep flowing and you will continue to be the casinos' cash cow

I don't have any and I don't want to have one, we should treat gambling as entertainment all these proverbs will just entice you to go back to gambling again and again because all these sayings are for promoting gambling, that you can make money out of it.

However, there's a gambling quote I've always seen at one lottery outlet near us. It reads:

 'You could be the next millionaire tomorrow if you bet now.'

I think this saying works because there are so many bettors in that lottery outlet.

Well this is not a proverb but it is just something that I made up that can also be relevant/associated with gambling:

The only failure is when you stop trying.

I mean, it is your generic tagline with regard to success but this can be applicable to gambling where people would keep on gambling until they win. Unfortunately, this quote can be potentially dangerous as this will definitely compel gamblers to NOT stop until they have won a decent amount of cash depending on their standards.

Bottomline, proverbs and quotes should not be taken literally- always find the wisdom behind the meaning of every passage and take it to heart depending on how it can be applied on your current situation.

A smart person will not take this out of context. The world is merely a motivation to tryout new things and check your potential in gambling. Words are inspiring but it doesn't guarantee anything because gambling doesn't makes you special in anyway, it's not like life where you would want to say I'm destined to this and try my luck, you will learn the hard way.

You don't even need any word of motivation to win in gambling. Like last week, I was down with some fever and out of Boredom, I make some selection of games, just of them and stake it with some change and that bets beautifully went on flash mode. It was less than 5 hours and all of them came quick, no motivation, no influence just boredom and I won.

I think phrase like "you don't know what you are missing until you tried it out". It's one I see used by influencers that advertise casino and betting platforms and I don't get move by them because they are only after their stomach and bills.

[asyakashi]

I think this proverb is not about gambling, maybe it's about life, like if you don't take steps to open a business, you will always be someone's slave, but sometimes people misinterpret it and think they're trying to gamble and see their luck.

I don't think I know many of the proverbs or sayings that have directly to do with gambling but I do know: "no guts, no glory". I have heard it used by people who wished to emotionally manipulate someone into doing something which they were too afraid to do. One could also argue that such proverbs/sayings could have a helpful effect, depending on who uses it and for which reason. For example, if someone just needs a small push because they are afraid to do something which would turn out to be good for them. So it really depends the context.

proverbs are always open to interpretation. whichever it may go, just keep the analogy to yourself because someone will always think you got it all wrong.

the proverb could be a story of a boy wanting to ask for a chick to be his girlfriend. it's like gambling whether losing a friend or getting lucky and finding out she feels the same way. okay this is getting out of topic.  but i'm sure the boy is horny that's what triggers him.

Ancient Chinese people had their own philosophy regarding gambling. the parable you say in this thread is related to a Chinese proverb, which has a broad meaning. and that's why in China gambling has become one of their ancestral traditions, for example, the game of mahjong. so Chinese people are used to things like this, but the fact is that almost the majority of Chinese people are hard workers, tenacious, even though they have a philosophy based on gambling figurative words. but it does not affect its citizens at all, which they even have from their ancestors. in fact, Chinese people are not all gamblers, right?

Well, I just want to emphasize it in this post. in fact, I don't know what to answer regarding gambling proverbs which might be the forerunner to becoming a gambler and even an addict. the reason is, we don't have scientific data research results related to what you say in this post. after all, how many of today's modern people like to read or like words like any related figures of speech. just imagine, what about the proverbs related to gambling? I can confirm, IMO, that only a handful of people are affected by this more modern digital era.

[len01]

it all depends on how we think about how to interpret words of wisdom or quotes like that and I think quotes like that are aimed at everyday life, not for gambling as I once said in another thread "big luck is only for those who are willing to take big risks "
this means that anyone will never be able to get lucky if they don't do anything, such as working hard or building a business to make a profit, because usually someone is afraid to take risks when they want to build a business.
and from the Chinese proverb that you said, I think that if someone doesn't make any effort in the business sector, they will definitely never know how successful they will be in the future.

well, this is all just about how we interpret these words of wisdom, but if someone can't think critically, they will just judge instantly and do what the saying says, but if someone has a critical mind, they will usually read and interpret the things they say. being logical in real life does not mean that gambling is risky for anyone.
maybe wise words like this usually influence beginner gamblers more because they still have big ambitions to get big wins and the existence of this saying is like giving support to beginner gamblers to continue betting.

We need to be careful with such general wisdom since life is way more complex than that, it is true that those that obtain the biggest success are the ones that take the bigger risks, but at the same time risk does not equate opportunity.

There are many things that are very risky and yet doing them gives you no reward at all, so whenever we consider doing something in which the risk is high, we also need to think about what it is the possible reward we may get, and if the reward does not exist or it is not big enough then we are in our right to refuse to engage in that activity.
