Proverbs and Sayings that Act as Triggers to Gambling

[Pumared]

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?

I think that traditional investment proverbs in general will always be useful for betting, because to a certain extent they are the same. But I always like to diversify and be open to possibilities. That's why I really like betting, especially online.

Those proverbs could relate to gambling but I guess not it's not the focus of it instead in life, proverbs can be interpreted into different aspects on how get delivered, and the situation of the people, not only proverbs can push through a decision if a person could be a just word, actions, etc. once they notice the possible outcome and having a realization this could trigger to them with the question of "Why not", why not they take a risk, why not they take a risk. People can be affected easily by their environment.

[SeaCoinCollector.]

I think such phrases can affect someone's attitude about gambling. There are other phrases, such as "you have to be in it to win it, " which encourage people to gamble and take risks. We should be mindful of the messages we internalize, instead, we should prioritize responsible gambling

Yes, I agree with you that this proverb does use the word gambling because from the first time it was known until now gambling is related to luck and without luck no one can win at gambling.
It just that I think proverbs like this tend to be more like emphasizing that everyone must have the courage to take risks in order to achieve success or success.
Word gambling is used because gambling is full of uncertainty and full of risk, this is the same as someone who will take step in making decisions for their future.
And the word luck is used because luck has the same meaning as success or achievement.

I think it has nothing to do with proverbs like this that can influence or make ordinary people fall into gambling.
Moreover, proverbs themselves are advice or form of manifestation of goodness which is expressed with series of words that are in harmony, it would clearly be mistake to use proverbs from different point of view.
We must be able to understand and also interpret every word of the existing proverbs so that fatal errors do not occur.

[Z390]

I hated most of these proverbs and sayings because they can be misleading, the one I don't like the most is the more you keep gambling, the closer you are to hitting a jackpot, this can weaponized any beginner and they will think that all they need to do is keep gambling with all thy might.
I don't let all these words get to me, because what gambling truly is can't be hidden, it's about you trying to predict an outcome, something that's impossible for any human to do without some analysis, even with strong analysis the unexpected turn of event do happens.

We are not the masters of this universe, time is the most powerful thing that human can't control, what the future may bring is based on probability, if you believe in this fact that I am saying, no proverbs like this will get into your head when you plan to gamble, risk only what you can afford.

[ethereumhunter]

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.

It's better not to take too big a risk, especially since we are in the world of gambling, where anything can happen, including experiencing a big loss that will result in losing a lot of money. Many people have experienced big losses just because they read a saying or writing that you are only a little away from winning, even though that will only make them experience more defeats.

If we are not ready for the risk, we don't need to spend a lot of money and save the money for other things so that we won't experience many losses. We must be responsible when spending money on gambling so that we must be able to reduce the number of losses.

wow! So what you're trying to say in essence is that I can start an habit or continue in an act because of just a popular saying?

There are so many reasons why people gamble and their are thousands more reason why some get addicted to gambling but what you should know is that whatever you're doing is first of all your personal decision before that of an outside person. No matter how good your reason for engaging in an act that is draining you down is, it doesn't change the fact that you're the one that is primarily be eating the brunt.

As a matured person, when you look at certain proverbs or popular saying, you can just analyse it and know the motive behind it.  Truth is that I don't even like to live my life by luck or chances and we all know that gambling is obviously a game of luck and chances and so we just do it for fun and not make any big deal out of it.

It's normal for people to want to associate their activities as been supported by a certain speach, phrase or words so it give them the feel that they are not really wrong with all that which they are doing, so for them there's always an excuse to support or get them to make their activities reasonable and presentable enough.

That word applies mostly in a real life situation because I don't want to believe when this proverbs was said they had in mind the gamblers or the gamblers was their target audience, never at all is was that really put to consideration but a random proverb for life.

[slapper]

"A fool and his money are soon parted," says that. This classic is more relevant than ever in gambling. Identifying a rigged game is the goal, not evaluating luck. House always wins, right? It's math, not luck. This requires an attitude shift. Why not promote self-awareness instead of gambling glamor? As in "Know thyself." If you knew your limitations, triggers, and the value of your money, would you gamble? We should celebrate wise sayings over silly ones. Gamble for knowledge, not luck. Can you see the trap?

I don't think they mean it literally but it is then I stand corrected. But in the persoective of gambling, it is really has a point. It's like us doing nothing and then surely nothing will happen. We couldn't experience luck unless we try to gamble.

Well, you are right that many sayings, adages and proverbs could work for both gambling and trading but not all as gambling is way more risky with a different model of working compared to trading. The only thing they have in common is the risk involved, both are risky and the expertise of the traders/bettors is heavily needed before success can be made. This is even as luck is more needed in gambling than in trading, and once you are experienced and trade rightly, you are good to go in trading unlike in most aspects of gambling where you need luck the most.

But irrespective of these, one must know that both are better in their practical experiences than in one adage or proverb. The proverbs/adages may not reflect the reality of trading and gambling. Just like what is in the OP, everyone should know that it is not practical in real life because I do not see how the gambling results could be the gauge of how lucky you are as a person. And even if you are lucky today that doesn't mean you can replicate the luck tomorrow. This doesn't make it consistent, and also the proof that luck is not what we can measure per person, it only happens when it wants and people should rather express it that way rather than how they make it look reality.

You can twist a situation to show that gambling would have been something good to encourage people to gamble. But I never support this.

Proverbs and old sayings have the chance of being mis-interpreted and people usually take these words with high hopes of being wise words. They are not always like that and the situation is what is more important. A broke person should not attempt to gamble their last pennies but work hard to earn money and save it.

Some proverbs might be correct in a specific situation but horrible in another. You have to use your conscience to determine that.

I don't know the Chinese culture but I think that this proverb here is meant for another meaning rather than to spur the gambler that is hidden in every person.I think that saying means to be bold and coragous in life in order to push further for achieving new things,it is similar as saying to our EU/US one which says,fortune favors the bold.

I have yet to know a country which incite you through proverbs to try gambling.

[Frankolala]

Anyone that listens to proverbs and get motivated to start gambling, will finally run at big loss, because they have taken gambling as something that they can get profit from. As adults you don't allow yourself to be lured into something by mere words without making research of asking experienced people to know more.

It is better for you to gamble because you want to have fun and not because someone says that you should or because of some words that are common proverbs. If you listen to such proverbs and get motivated, then you have been motivated into running at loss.

[Crypt0Gore]

All I know is that some gambling related proverbs can get you killed if you foolishly believe in them, the majority of these proverbs are simply backing gambling up, keep trying and don't give up, but truthfully, sense needs to be applied, if you don't apply some sense you will end up becoming a big fool.

Many gamblers thinks that gambling existed because of the poor, but this game of luck doesn't care about who is losing money, either rich or poor it will always favour the casino more than gamblers, before a gambler turn into a millionaire in gambling, a million of people have already lost a lot of money and are still actively losing a lot more.

Many have turned away from jobs because they believe that gambling can sustain them, but only to find out the hardest way, gambling is so unreliable when it comes to finances, it's the wrong tool for fixing your broke problem.

Sad to hear that. We learn about proverbs when we are doing our primary education and eventually use them at times where is seems clear. But we must not forget their situational use and that they are not applicable to every condition out there.

Some swindlers with hidden interests will attempt to manipulate you via such proverbs to force you to gamble. One must identify such people and ignore them or turn their back on them.

Whatever one says, the casinos will run for the long term, the players are temporary there.

Broke or rich, we shouldn't depend on gambling because the system will completely liquidate our account. Who still points out gambling to be a resolution of standing balance when it comes to finances? Gambling is tough and I wouldn't advise anyone to gamble, it's never a good choice to gamble, instead we should channel those energies into doing another thing that will become useful. Gambling is unreliable but profits and losses are evidence of the space, most of us cannot stand the losses results when they come, but enjoyed every moment of profits.

Proverbs are meant to serve as piece of advice and most times motivations never to give up. They have conventional meanings that are most times wrongly misinterpreted and many people will take advantage of such misinterpretations to act irresponsibly.  Many gambling related proverbs do not really talk about gambling in real sense but a person who has already made up his mind to gamble and just waiting for a push will use that proverb as an excuse to gamble irresponsibly. Every gambler knows some of the extreme measures they take while gambling that can cause them some problems if they are not lucky, yet they will choose to risk it, after all gambling is all about taking risks.

It is not just the proverbs that triggers one to gamble,  people will always give excuses for taking certain unpleasant actions. When your mind is made up already on something,  anything at all can trigger you to act.

You're right; it's a fool's game. We see individuals throw their hopes into a bottomless pit, even though the house always wins. The casino doesn't care about your income; you're simply a number. Risking your job for gaming wealth? That's stupid and a terrible miscalculation of reality. Gambling did not and never will provide steady income. Hope is preyed upon and despair follows. Call it a trap for the naive. gamble wisely or you'll merely gamble on your ruin
