Proverbs and Sayings that Act as Triggers to Gambling

[Z-tight]

You can interpret that proverb in different ways, i.e. it could mean that you have to take risks and keep trying in life, and if you just give up, you may never be lucky to get what you ought to have gotten. I don't think that proverb is simply about wagering on games, either casino, sport or other type of games, but you can choose to see or understand something different in any statement, so if this is what you feel, i respect your opinion. However, i don't think proverbs should be enough to encourage one to gamble, it should be your own decision alone and not because you read what one 'wise' man or the other said.

[Yatsan]

Well it is never wrong to take the risk to almost anything however if it is with gambling, taking the risk creates a new definition. And my conclusion? anything tht is too much, is a bad thing and that is simply how gambling works. It is a cycle of continuous risk taking. Nothing's bad as long as you can handle the consequences however as you continue doing so, the drive to just take the risk could be a drive to win and become rich which are two different things. From being a gambler for years, I could say that it is not the activity which is bad, but the intention and expectations the gambler is having, which manifests to a bad or worse outcome.

No quote will push someone to wrongdoings . It will always depend to how an individual will interpret and recieve the message. Gambling is simple however a gambler's goal is not.

[Hispo]

I find it to be specially fascinating how simple words and sayings can indeed tempt people to gamble or do things which they would not get as involved otherwise. I do not personally know any sayings of the kind you just described.
Though, I must admit that that one about gambling to find out how much luck one has is quite intriguing and powerful to me.
Ironically, when people start to gamble to figure out how lucky they truly are or can be, they cannot easily stop, because we have no idea when we are supposed to stop in order to reach the conclusion about our own good or bad luck
How many slot spins would be enough for us to know our luck good enough? 1, 5 or 100?
Also, even if one reached the conclusion about one having bad luck and not good luck, there will be always sayings inciting us to continue to gamble, because "gamblers always quit when they are about to hit a jackpot". It is a fallacy, of course, there is no way to know it.
I would be ready to call it one of the most dangerous sayings, since it implies one is never supposed to quit gambling, regardless how much money one has already lost to the casino. 

Why is being responsibly so difficult and so easy to flow with the river of fun and irresponsibility?

[TheUltraElite]

I can create a witty quote and it can be called a proverb over the internet as well. Hence a quote like that does not necessarily mean that it is a good thing or maybe you are understanding it too superficially.

The explanation I would take is that one should take risks in life, not doing so means that they never tried. It was never about gambling with money at all.

Trigger or no trigger, it only acts like one if you are inclined to take it as so. To someone who understands that gambling is mostly a loss for the player, they would not get triggered even at a slightest.

“LUCK IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PREPARATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY.” — SENECA

This one acts as a trigger for me.  Having the extra funds and allocating my free time for a gambling session, who knows if I'll be lucky enough to meet the opportunity to hit 10x to 20x of my bankroll unless I try...

I find it to be specially fascinating how simple words and sayings can indeed tempt people to gamble or do things which they would not get as involved otherwise.

These simple encouraging quotes have a psychological effect that stimulates the curiousness of the readers and eventually moves them to try if it fits their situation.

Although there are people who are always guided by the quotes they find there and take them as if they were especially for them, then that makes them take the example of the quote and guide their life at some point, so by following these things you can We sense that some people are easy to influence, so because of this, we conclude that the risks are good, that the risks are always going to be better because it could happen, however every time we are seeing that better things can happen. Well, welcome.

Risks will always be in life, if we take risks in things that can sometimes compromise our lives, aren't we going to take risks in a casino? Of course yes, we know that everything is a risk, winning or losing is what we are always facing, and it is something that we cannot deny, life is full of remains, it is up to us to know how to carry them and use them, no matter what If we fail, the important thing is that we overcome them.

no proverbs could really trigger unless that proverb is understood by a gambler. most gamblers however don't read, the only that triggers them is winning the jackpot prize. 

the only reason why the gamblers in crypto space are reading is because it's online, we face web pages all the time compared to the ones offline where the gambler often just walk-in, chats few friends, and play.

[KosmoKisa]

These proverbs can also act as triggers, in my opinion."You can't win without taking risks" - romanticizes risk and glosses over the high chances of losing.
"Some people are lucky!" - fuels the belief in luck and the desire to gamble."Happiness loves the brave" - motivates to continue to play, even if a person loses. Important: critically evaluate proverbs, and do not succumb to their dubious interpretations. Excitement does not guarantee neither luck nor wealth.

[Lida93]

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.

I doubt if it's only through gambling we can test how lucky we are in life, there are a surplus areas of life we can test our luck, it could be through an attempt to invent something, engage into a new line of business, applying for a job opportunity that other people might have applied and failed but you just could feel like still trying out your luck by also sending an application despite the much rejections on others. All of these is still risk taken only that they are in varied form.

So therefore, trying luck doesn't only apply to gambling alone, the only thing is that luck is predominant in gambling because it's an activity that it's results is mainly dependent on luck and not really on the individual's know-how. In trying your luck as a gambler we should be attentive to know when it's not our lucky day for us to quit and move to other things order than spending the whole time to keep trying luck that is not working in our favor.

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

It's the first time I have heard that proverb. There are 2 similar proverbs I know of.
One is that "You have to risk it to get the biscuit" and the other one is a proverb in Hindi saying that "Risk hai toh Ishq hai" meaning if there is risk then there is love.
So yeah, while we do have such proverbs which attracts us to gambling it becomes our responsibility to be aware of it and maintain healthy gambling habits.

A gambler can gamble his life, I use to hear about this a long time ago that those who gambles can sell anything to gamble including their lives, just because they have the mentality of everyone gambling will just have to be irresponsible to himself and the people around him, they believe that the money he would have used to himself or the family will go into gambling, some gamblers also have made it more possible for other people to believe this about them when they are nothing than a piece of an irresponsible gambler.

[Queentoshi]

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

Even the motto or slogan used by some of these casino or betting platforms trigger gamblers to want to gamble or even people who do not gamble to want to try their luck in gambling. Do not start gambling because of a slogan or proverb, and if you are a gambler who is trying to quit, know your triggers, and know when you are triggered to gamble so you can control yourself.

[topbitcoin]

There is nothing wrong with the saying you convey. However, it would be a big problem if we immediately swallowed this saying without a clear meaning and deeper understanding. It's true that people who don't gamble probably won't experience financial luck from gambling, but luck can be found in many aspects of life that don't involve gambling. and it is quite important for us to be able to understand that luck is not the only factor that can influence our life and happiness. Whether a person is lucky or not does not solely depend on success or failure in gambling. Many aspects of life can bring good luck and happiness without involving the financial and emotional risks associated with gambling.

Viewing luck from a broader perspective can open the eyes to the many ways in which life can enrich and bring happiness. There is no need to rely on gambling to experience good fortune, as life provides many valuable opportunities and experiences without significant financial risk.

There is no wisdom in these gambling sayings, and these sayings were created, to propagate, encourage, and promote gambling by the gambling platforms and gamblers to encourage themselves and people to continue gambling.

I don't encourage myself and my friends to take these sayings as encouraging yourself to gamble will harm your reputation, your mind, and your finances, and the popular saying that I stumble that is very popular among gamblers is

Quitters don't win in gambling

so we always see gamblers keep on pushing their luck because if they quit you're not going to win.

[borovichok]

"The fastest way to ruin someone's life is to let him learn to gamble."

Haha! This must have emanated from a gambler whose life was ruined by gambling. I have a friend who will always say that the hardest thing to do is to predict and win. He will always joke saying that whatever a gambler predicts will not play.

If you predict right, the outcome will go left lol and even if you predict that all the players will wear jerseys, one of the players will wear a singlet to the pitch lol.

There are many quotes in gambling's favour which can trigger an optimistic and proactive behavior on potential gamblers towards the practice of this activity. These sayings can be quite inspiring if you aren't aware of the possible negative outcomes from betting with so much enthusiasm, confidence and belief that it's going to be a life changer. Always use your critical sense when reading such quotes on the internet.

And we can't forget the classical one:

[Mate2237]

"Chinese proverb"? The meaning of Chinese proverb is different from another country's proverb, this the same proverb can means another thing in another country. And one can test their luck from different things but we have to know that life itself is gambling. So op if I loss from gambling then that means I am not lucky in life? I can't use gambling to test my luck. Well I understand that the lucky you are talking about center on gambling and not on any other side.

"No risky no gain" and "I win one day" those are some of the saying that encouraging gambling to gamble perpetually.

And perhaps this influence Chinese to be gambling as I have observed in our physical casinos that most of the players there are Chinese?

Perhaps another Chinese proverbs that I search upon, The Chinese Proverb of 'Sai Weng Lost His Horse'

The Meaning of Sāi Wēng Shī Mǎ
The proverb can be read to have multiple implications when it comes to the concept of luck and fortune. The end of the story seems to suggest that every misfortune comes with a silver lining, or as we might put it in English—a blessing in disguise. But within the story is also the sense that with what at first appears to be good luck can come misfortune. Given its dual meaning, this proverb is commonly said when bad luck turns to good or when good luck turns to bad.

[michellee]

This Chinese proverb makes ordinary people continue to gamble. They will never know the outcome if they do not gamble. It may have an impact on other things. But it will also depend on how a person will use gambling.

If they don't really like gambling and don't gamble too often, they won't test their luck and become addicted. However, many people experience addiction because they gamble too often compared to other people. This is what they have to realize: that they don't need to gamble excessively.

And it's normal that people keep returning to gambling because they still hope to win. I don't know if any proverbs or other sayings will trigger them to gamble. But maybe there is one invitation for them: "Come on, this is just one-time gambling. That's okay for you." And that makes them return to gambling more and more often.
