your perception about gambling

[FinneysTrueVision]

People’s perception on gambling may be shaped by their environment. In Hollywood movies and TV shows, gambling is often portrayed as glamourous and an activity which attracts wealthy high rollers.

Some people may have grown up around gamblers who were greedy and always looking to make a quick buck. This might have influenced how they view gambling.

Examples of people being financially ruined by gambling are easy to find and sometimes people fixate more on the negative stories than positive ones.

Not always in our favor. I chuckle at the notion that its a quick cash grab; its more like a quick cash giveaway - to the house, usually. Gambling doesnt care if you're a man, woman, or anything in-between. Its an equal opportunity heartbreaker.

Religions and governments toss in their two cents, mostly because they've seen the fallout - a parade of empty wallets and the not-so-occasional existential crisis. "Ban it!" they say, as if prohibition ever stopped anyone dead in their tracks. Spoiler: it doesnt. But gambling's a personal gig. Its your call, your money, your potential spiral into the abyss of "What was I thinking?" territory. So, if you're gonna roll the dice, maybe, just maybe, remember: the house always wins. Unless, of course, you dont play. Then, congrats! You've outsmarted the system

Even though it might be foolish to think that gambling is a way to earn money, it has become so commonplace in many people's minds that they still try it today. Gambling brings many people into the circle so that many people cannot get out of gambling easily.
Religion and the government prohibit its citizens from gambling but that doesn't stop its citizens from completely stopping their gambling activities because they still want to try it. And gambling is a personal matter and even though there are prohibitions from religion and the government, people still gamble.
And what you say is true, the house always wins and those of us who gamble will experience more losses if we don't realize it.

We all have points and views about gambling, but to be certain, for those who are prohibiting theirselves from gambling, its not that they don’t want to gamble their money, but because they are not broad enough to understand the design of gambling. They often see gambling to lose money and eventually make someone addicted and mess his life. But in reality, it’s not gambling that make us addicted, but it’s on how we handle and perceive gambling urge. We can gamble for fun, and to make us relieved from stress or anxiety, but for those who are losing too much, I should say that they don’t understand the essence of gambling from the start.

Now, religion is also another reason, but if you are really a gambler, no religion can ever control you, because if you really want to stop gambling, it’s already deep within you that will motivate yourself not to gamble anymore.

If there are people who can see that gambling will not give them a lot of money, they don't need to gamble and leave gambling. But what happens is that many people are attracted to gambling and they continue to gamble and don't even stop at all.
We can only gamble for fun and not to make money. Those who continue to try will only experience even greater loss.
Religion prohibits gambling because it involves losing a lot of money and makes people unable to realize that what they are doing is wrong. Religion has done what it has to do, and what follows is each person's choice.

I prefer to believe that most people use gambling as a place to earn or as a place to change their fortunes and finances for the better, I can confirm that this is the purpose of most of them coming to gambling because we can see that the population of gamblers who experience financial problems as a result of gambling is greater than those who gamble moderately or moderately, and especially those who are already in the addiction phase where obviously a lot of problems will arise there.

So the adverse effects experienced by people who treat gambling in the wrong and unadvisable way is ultimately what makes the viewpoint of a large part of society on this activity very negative, society claims that people who are involved in gambling are those who have bad behavior and personality although in fact there are always some gamblers who are able to treat gambling with the recommended approach, or in the sense of gambling with all the restrictions that can keep them safe like the understanding that responsible gamblers have, but yes it is quite difficult to make some people believe that there are some responsible gamblers because basically people will definitely focus more on the negative impact.

the fact is that many people tell of their success in gambling. even in the environment around us. In fact, they don't dare to openly say how many losses they have lost compared to their wins.
all they say is when they win. that's what I often encounter and when I try to find out the truth by asking questions about how much they lost, they don't dare answer.

The rich will go on vacations and spend huge amounts because they're in possession of the require assets while the poor will always finds struggles to win. We spend money for fun and also straight out the desirable means of bringing to the table, money to sustain us. The rich have nothing to lose because the huge amounts we all thinking that's significant amount is mere change to them, it doesn't shake them in any way. While the middle class takes their time to gamble because they know if they lose money, it's weigh out of line and I don't we'll be able to grab hold of our stands in the system.

I believe people who can't afford it shouldn't gamble in the first place. The rich gamble because they can afford to do that as you said, they wouldn't be bothered even if they lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in a month because they know they earn way more than that and their net worth is extremely high that they wouldn't be bothered by the small losses they may have to face.

However, the poor can't think that way because they can't afford to lose anything. Even if one says that they can afford to lose a certain amount being poor, they can't because they don't have any backup, if they lose that money, they will have nothing left which means they can't afford to lose it even if they say so. So, if one can't afford to gamble, they should stay away from it.

I decided to come up with this topic because of an experience i had yesterday and i decided to bring it here for clarity sake and to see some people's view about it.

There is this notion the society placed on those who gamble or who play all sorts of games ,be it casino,bet9ja,R/S lotto, what, snooker and many others. They often see them as those who don't have what to do ,or caliber of individuals who are jobless, a set of people who are not well trained by their parents and many more other names they call them.

i sincerely came up with this topic to find out why they have such views on individuals who voluntarily went to the betting shop to gamble either to win and make a difference or to lose and remain the same way.  This idea actually started when i saw a pastor playing bet9ja after a brief evangelism and one elderly woman made a side comment ( That even man of GOD also play gamble) .

however, my question here now is : is gambling restricted to some certain kind of individuals or class?  or is there any stratification when it comes to playing gambling ?please your opinions here will actually quench my curiosity.

Don't let this be the reason why you should also start gambling, in the religion side of things, many pastors are not even called upon by God, they fake it so as to have access to a parish, where they can have something to eat and take offerings from people.

In today's world, so many men of God are not real men of God, they're not called to become one, in my country for example, everyone is a man of God, one morning they are criminals and the next morning they will announce that God have called them to do HIS work.. Who are they fooling?

So don't let this be your reason for gambling, if you feel it's right to be a gambler or not it's your choice, seeing a man of God in a casino literally means nothing, they need to make ends meet too, they have families at home to feed too, they are humans, they lie and they say the truth when they feel like.

Should we blame those who are blaming them? Because I don't see this as a bad thing, many gamblers don't know what they are doing, seeing is believing right? Many people have seen gamblers that useless themselves, this is why they believe that most gamblers are unserious set of people.

And it's true, gamblers that are jobless aren't suppose to be risking any money on gambling, yet many of them will still visit such locations, they are trying to solve a fire outbreak problem with fire, how will it work? A gambler who knows what he is doing must first have a job, get serious with is business, and take good care of his home.

When he feels like trying his luck, he must use very small amount from the money he made to take risks in gambling, many people have lost their homes because of gambling, they risked too much on gambling until it start to affect their own family, if this is getting common in a country, people will start to hate gamblers, and I don't blame such people, because gamblers mostly don't know how to be responsible about it.

Those fake pastors are claiming to be pastors because they want to use it to extort people of their funds. I see those fake pastors as scammers, and they give wrong prophecy that can destroy someone's life. It is those kind of pastors that can work into a bet shop to place their bet, because they cannot hide it anymore, and they decide not to care about what people will say. A true religious man of God sees gambling as a sin and something evil, because of the negative effects of gambling, that a lot of gamblers are suffering from.

However, it is very difficult to know a pastor that is a true pastor or a fake one. People that are not even pastors do advice their children and relatives to stay away from gambling, talk more a pastor that is the head of a church.

Gambling is for everybody and not for some set of people. Though there are age range in gambling but doesn't mean there are set of people who are permited to gamble. It depends on Individual and how they make their choices. Sometimes underaged people gamble and nothing happens because they do it for fun and it's not against government policy. It only becomes a problem when the money used for gambling is a stolen money or when they play gamble without payment.

So, if one can't afford to gamble, they should stay away from it.

Unfortunately there has been a shift in thinking about gambling, gambling that was intended to be fun, is now something that players expect to earn extra income. This will then become a problem for a group of people who are thinking of having extra income from gambling. The rich make gambling one of the means by which they seek entertainment, while people with weak economic conditions turn it into a place for them to try their luck.

I do not prohibit anyone from gambling, as long as with that, they should not expect anything more from gambling, for example expecting a big win and when they don't get it they will continue to try to pursue victory. I will also not be hypocritical when I win a large amount of gambling I will be very happy, but when I lose I will let it go, because my goal at the beginning is that winning is not the only thing that makes me happy. We can enjoy gambling if we don't target winning as the main thing. Instead we will become frustrated when we become gambling as a place to make money, because it is inevitable that the percentage of wins will not be greater than the losses.

Yup, It really depends on you. sometimes, the other people who are underage, even if they learn to gamble at their young age, not all of them end up being addicted, maybe because they know how to control themselves and they have set rules for themselves when it comes to gambling. They become wiser in their actions and decisions as time goes on because they have memorized the movements in playing there. Everyone can gamble as long as they follow the rules and regulations of the area and of course we can only gamble in legal gambling houses and sites, and the most important thing of all, you must have money because that is the main objective in gambling, to lose and earn money while having fun.

The only restriction on gambling games lies in age. If people want to gamble but are under 18 years old, this is not possible. Apart from age restrictions and restricted areas, I don't think there is anything that limits gambling.
The difference depends on capital. Between players with large capital and players with small capital.

It is normal for people to think that gamblers are unemployed or other negative terms for the environment around them. Don't be disturbed and don't care too much if you gamble with your own money without disturbing other people as long as you are prepared for all forms of risks that will occur during the gambling game.

So, if one can't afford to gamble, they should stay away from it.

Losing hundreds of thousands of dollars may not be a problem for rich people when they lose at gambling, because rich people will of course feel safe when they lose because they feel they still have lots of spare money. But if they often lose at gambling and always lose hundreds of thousands of dollars then I'm sure they will experience objections or annoyance. because of course, even though rich people have a lot of money, that doesn't mean they can gamble as they please or don't mind the frequent losses, if they are already annoyed by the losses that occur with the gambling they do, it's possible that they might also be upset and spend more money on it. chase wins or to recover losses. Indeed, we should not question the losses that occur in gambling because if we question the losses that occur, it is likely to trigger our emotions to gamble excessively. What must be paid attention to is our readiness with the money that will be risked in gambling, we must be prepared that the money that is bet will be lost for sure, the aim is to avoid addiction or even greater losses.

In my opinion, it's not just poor people, everyone doesn't seem to want to lose what they have, including money, even though rich people are willing to bet large amounts, but I think in their hearts there is also a sense of wanting to win, with their statement that they don't mind. Losing is true, but they also don't want to experience losing money frequently. It's impossible for every gamble you take to not expect to win, of course there is a feeling of wanting to win. I agree with you, if you really can't afford to gamble or in other words are not ready to lose the money you bet, then it's better not to gamble, it's better, because prevention is better than cure.

Yes it's as simple as that, gambling is an activity for everyone, whoever you are if you have money or come with money as a condition for betting then you will be able to engage in gambling by having two possibilities at the end of the session between winning and losing, but maybe besides that as you said that for children who are still minors this activity is not really recommended and one of the reasons is that they are still not old enough to be able to determine what is best and what is dangerous in terms of making every decision.

Because gambling is closely related to money so what is feared is that a child cannot control his gambling activities so that it causes a lot of problems, even someone who is an adult is still very difficult to control himself especially when experiencing defeat, But in my opinion, on the other hand, it is also quite small for a child who is still underage to be involved in gambling because his mindset is still filled with the desire to play with his friends and they are not thinking in the direction of "making money" so I think it is quite unlikely that they will enter the world of gambling, but yes, on the other hand, parents must be really vigilant because of course it is better not to let a child fall into gambling.

Underage usually don't know what they are doing and mostly when they get addicted, they take the worse path to get some capital that's the thing you want to prevent because teens are mostly risk takers and they seem not to bother about how they will end up just to fund their addictions. I don't have any idea in your community guys, but here with us, kids are robbing homes and stealing everything that has some worth and selling it just to have some money to bet. They become a problem for their parents and also for the whole community, they always end up in prison for the underage because of their bad activities.

No I don't think so bro there is no restriction unless the government says so or anything like that so it is free in my opinion just stay safe and keep gambling within the budget that all oh and one more thing just play when you are old enough and have money hahah

People’s perception on gambling may be shaped by their environment. In Hollywood movies and TV shows, gambling is often portrayed as glamourous and an activity which attracts wealthy high rollers.

Some people may have grown up around gamblers who were greedy and always looking to make a quick buck. This might have influenced how they view gambling.

Examples of people being financially ruined by gambling are easy to find and sometimes people fixate more on the negative stories than positive ones.

In today's world, children hardly follow what their parents do at home or people from the same family hardly copy each other, what has happened is that people are influenced by friendships, people have never gambled at all, people don't even know what gambling is , but the friend knows about gambling and tells him about gambling, but when he talks to him he doesn't tell him anything about the dangers of gambling and that's because he himself is playing the game and has already become addicted to gambling and starts talking about games with the greatest optimism as if he is making a lot of profit while he is a big loser, but he hides this fact because of pride and the person who has never played will hear that good side and will also play and even if he is losing a lot he will not talk either nothing for the friend because of pride

There are few people who assume that they are not gaining anything from the game, the majority of players do not admit that they are losing a lot, this is because they feel ashamed, they prefer to talk about how good the game is and that they are having a lot of fun, but they do not talk about the big things. losses that are unfortunately accumulating, this cycle leads to more people doing the same thing, a mistake that drags many people down. And as many people feel lazy to do research, then everything gets worse, I see people who just play but don't have time to research more about what they are playing

is gambling restricted to some certain kind of individuals or class?  or is there any stratification when it comes to playing gambling
No I don't think so bro there is no restriction unless the government says so or anything like that so it is free in my opinion just stay safe and keep gambling within the budget that all oh and one more thing just play when you are old enough and have money hahah

Speaking of age, here in my country, I have never seen anyone who is old talking about sports betting, but I see people talking about the lottery, I believe that in my country the number of elderly people who are interested in sports betting is very low, probably because they don't want to spend hours analyzing the games and then win little money, so they prefer the lottery which is something simple, easy to buy and cheap that can give them a lot of money if they are lucky enough to win

I have seen old people make bets on football, but not on gambling site. Those people like to gamble on Football match between themself. They say that it's how they enjoy football match, but they won't bother to have accounts on gambling sites. They dont do detail analysis on the gambled match, but they talk about which team is a better team with great players who can won the game. Type of classic football fans sharing their knowledge about football.

Lottery has simplicity and accessibility that make it an attractive option for individuals of all ages. Unlike sports betting, participating in the lottery is just straightforward and doesn't require any specialized knowledge. This simplicity appeals to older people who may prefer a leisurely and uncomplicated form of gambling. Lottery is not knowledgable to talk about, but just some informations surrounding it. Cultural and societal factors may also play a role in shaping the gambling preferences of older people. The lottery may be deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric and traditions that make it a more familiar and socially accepted form of gambling compared to sports betting, which may be perceived as more niche or complex.

No gambling could be an entertaining hobby for any class.  As long as you have funds set aside for entertainment and have the ability to lose that money and not affect your life than more power to you.  People go to movies or drink wine, etc as a hobby why not gambling.  Not a lot of people consider it a form of entertainment and I don't really know why.

There are some group of people prohibit someone since this is against on their teaching,their government restrict them or their parents heavily discourage them to do this activities that's why maybe they came up with this conclusion about other type of restrictions to other people. But luckily I reside on a country which we can do whatever we want including gambling so we don't need to problem anything like this and the only thing we do is to do proper precautions in every risky decisions we do.  But if they really want to gamble without getting bothered by anyone then online casino is available and they should not tell anyone their activities done but also they must be careful and do responsible gambling so that they will not go in addiction state since this is very bad for a gambler to go thru.
