Is it right to advice other people against gambling for personal reasons like??

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Hi guys and ladies,

Sorry I can't share the Facebook post this thread stems from, as I lost the post, hours ago before deciding to bring it up as a discussion on this forum.

Like 6 to 7 hours ago, I was over there on Facebook scrolling my life-time away  , I came to this post where the user was advising readers on how bad gambling is, being a gambler myself, I decided to open the post in fall to read and know what the dude is all about, and from all the story, it seems the dude went all in on a gambling sprey which didn't turn out the way he had anticipated, according to him, he had lost all his life savings (over $60,000) to gambling and it all started with a bet of $10.

And right now, the dude is all out to castigate and discourage as many that are willing to give him a listening ear; from gambling, all for what? Because gambling didn't turn out well for him, he lost his entire life savings, and he now believed that that is exactly how every other persons out there gambling will lose too.

What do you make of this, I honestly do not know but deep inside of me, I feel it's absolutely wrong to advice people against doing something, just because you did the same thing and it did not favor you..

Do you guys think it's OK to advice other gamblers to quit gambling simply because of your own bad experience, does your bad experience mean that every other gambler out there will also have the same bad experience?
I will like some really useful discussions around this topic.

Facebook? Have you checked the comments on YouTube when a person talks about gambling? It is all the same. Truth be told gambling is addictive so is smoking, drinking, clubbing, gaming, mobile phone and other activities that brings about a release of dopamine.

But are everyone who engage in these activities addicts? The answer is no. The stories from people who discourage others not to begin gambling are from those who didn't gamble responsibly. They are stories from those who didn't do it in moderation.

I will say  just like the philosopher, "man/human know thyself". You know what you have the ability to control and what you can't, if anyone feels gambling falls into the category of activities that may likely be beyond their control, then they shouldn't start at all.

This is why, gambling is not for kids only for adults.

I will prefer to let people know not to use high amount of money to gamble. But if they continue to gamble and spending more than they expected on gambling in a way they can not control it, they should just quit for gambling not to affect them in a bad way. Gambling addiction is not good at all and it is what that I against.

We cannot force someone to stop gambling or not to try gambling at all, but we can consider this post instead as a living testament of the risk that you can possibly get when you gamble and being greedy.

We already know the risk of gambling but it is still a choice, and what happened to that OP might not be applicable to others so for sure many will still try to gamble and of course, will learn from that mistakes not to go all in and gamble responsibly instead.

As a gambler myself, I don’t think it’s wrong to discourage everyone to gamble especially if he has a proof of outcome with his life experience. There’s a high chance that someone will suffer same fate in the other side of the world because gambling is always the root of being greedy.

Yes for me, gambling is a source of entertainment that usually requires spending money for fun. Advising to quit is good for me if the person who will receive an advice doesn’t know how to play as a responsible gambler. It’s a case to case basis but there’s no harm on what he is doing.

[Maslate]

You know it's not gambling is to be blame in that situation but the lack of discipline of a gambler. If we truly understand the purpose of gambling and on how to manage its risk, we would not make a conclusion that gambling is bad. Instead of discouraging people to gamble, we can do it in a more positive way like educating them on the risk and we can use our life experience for them to really understand how much it would ruin their life if they cannot control their emotion in gambling.

Losing a life savings is too much, how much more on a person that is struggling financially and end up borrowing money or stealing because he wanted to win back his losses. However, with discipline we won't reach to that regrettable level because we know our limitations and we stick with it.

I would prefer to say "experience sharing" than "advising", because I think by sharing will give better impact to the others.
Based on my personal experience, when it comes to "advice", usually the response is negative because they think that we are better than them but if we do experience sharing, they will be able to take it better.
Of course you are free to choose, if you think advising others based on your experience is good then go for it.

[Coin_trader]

I have a lot of friend that do this kind of post on social media after a massive losses in gambling. I don’t consider this as wrong move because they are just sharing what they experience on gambling which is not a made up story. I think it’s more acceptable to see this kind of post on my social media wall that user being discourage to gamble because I knew the feeling of losing big compared to someone blatantly sharing huge win for the purpose of recruiting others to sign up on his affiliate link.

Just ignore user like this because it’s their way to ease the pain of losing in gambling.  Many people do this not only about ga,bling on different things that gives negative impact on their life.

Even your big streamers tell users don't gamble. Watch the trainwreckz dude and he will pop a message up saying "don't get it twisted, he is down millions" or some shit. Eddie on the stake weekly when people get called for a bonus buy or win the raffle, he tells them don't gamble and cash it out immediately.

The guy you are talking about is basically trying to tell people not to be like him. He played like an idiot to lose 60k I would say. A very small % of people are going to be full time gamblers and winners, most everyone else is going to lose. That's what it's best to set aside a certain amount weekly or monthly and just have fun. Drink a few drinks, hang out with some friends, and don't think about the money.

[Frankolala]

It is good to advice other people about the consequences of gambling, and if you still tell them not to gamble, it is fine. This is because you don't want them to pass through the bad experience that yiou passed through. Also you should know that no matter the advice that you give to people on quitting gamble, if not they will run at loss, people that are gambling for profit will not listen to you, until they become victim themselves.

Can you tell an addicted gambler, who does not know that he is addicted to stop gambling, and he would listen to you. It is better that you tell people about the bad side of gambling, so that it is left for them to decide or not, if they will quit gambling or gamble responsible. If you can control yourself on your gambling activities, then no need to listen to anyone's advice on quitting.

The person is sharing his personal experience and giving a fitting advice. There's no doubt gambling is addictive and if you don't have self control you are going to ruin your life. Gambling be a fun part of your life if you are capable of controlling yourself and know your limits. Gambling should not be taken or introduced to as a money making process. That sort of advertising is what we need to stop.
I don't think it's wrong to share your experience and advice. No one are forced to take those advice but would act as a reminder to gamble responsibly. People are going to make their own decisions.

[Zanab247]

You can only advise them not to take gambling as investment because that is where many of them are missing it to end up in losing their live savings in gambling because they want to make millions one day to turn to a millionaire and, such person will never speak good things about gambling.

When you take gambling as fun and anytime you want to gamble, you gamble with what you can afford to lose, I don't think you will lose all your savings in gambling and, it will make you to stay long in gambling to tell a good story that will motivate upcoming gamblers to follow your steps to end well in gambling.

Advice that comes from experience is certainly very good and can be used as a lesson so that other people or people out there who gamble immediately stop their activities. What he did was a good thing in an effort to prevent other people from experiencing the destruction he experienced. However, a gambler is still a gambler who is always difficult to advise if other people's statements make him feel disturbed or cornered by the activities he has been doing in the casino for a long time. So his biggest blow was when he had lost everything and regretted not listening to the advice of others who had decided to stop gambling.

This kind of phenomenon has happened a lot, and I have also advised several of my closest friends, but as has been said, gambling always has various reasons to avoid it. What I mean is that a person has to feel the brokenness first in order to feel regret.

In contrast to controlled gamblers, they are able to manage their finances, which money should be allocated for gambling and which money should not be touched. So the possibility of experiencing destruction can be minimized. This means that if you are already gambling and don't want to stop, then learn to be a gambler who is responsible for what you bet, don't harm yourself or others, and try to gamble in a healthy way.

Why it can not? It's good to share your own experiences with other gamblers so they can be careful. although I am sure that when gamblers do not experience such experiences themselves, it will be difficult for them to stop gambling.
However, experience is the best teacher for us to learn. We can experience this ourselves or from other people's experiences that we read or know about. Even if it doesn't work to stop gambling, at least the experience shared provides self-reflection to gamblers to strengthen limits and control over their gambling.

When we have had bad experiences with gambling and we will share with those who have just started gambling, this is indeed a very good thing so that they can gamble carefully and don't let them experience financial difficulties because they gamble too often and after we Advise them so they will be able to think about not continuing to gamble so that they don't experience many losses.

For those who have experienced addiction, of course it will be very difficult for them to be able to listen to various kinds of advice that other people give, but if they have the desire themselves to be able to manage their gambling, they will certainly be able to gamble responsibly, of course this will be better for them. they if can do gambling responsibly and also they will not lose much on gambling.

Do gamblers have the right to talk about their stories of losses? Undoubtedly yes. Do they have the right to tell others to stop gambling? I guess not. It is worth speaking out about the negative consequences of gambling, but you should not force decisions to be made “to play or not to play”. Let each gambler decide this personally. His choice has its consequences. But the more stories there are about personal experiences that led to financial losses, the better it will be for gamblers in terms of decision-making. What will have a beneficial effect on the objectivity of perception of the consequences of gambling. Due to the fact that advertising promotes the idea that gambling is an easy and quick way to make money. Because of this, the “picture of the world” of future gamblers is distorted, because the idea of gambling as a springboard for financial success is imposed on them. But they try to remain silent about the dark side of the gaming industry.

You know, while I was writing this post, I came to the conclusion that unlucky gamblers have every right to advise others not to gamble. Why? Yes, if only because there is a counterbalance to advertising sponsored by casinos, in which only hard-hitting recommendations slogans “play and win” and similar rubbish are heard.

[moneystery]

it is his right to be able to advise others that gambling is something bad and we cannot protest against it because it is freedom of speech. if you object to this, you can comment on the post and argue according to what you believe. or you can ignore the post (which is the best option) because his opinion on gambling and his reasons for preventing people from taking part in it don't harm you in any way.

It is good to advice other people about the consequences of gambling, and if you still tell them not to gamble, it is fine. This is because you don't want them to pass through the bad experience that yiou passed through. Also you should know that no matter the advice that you give to people on quitting gamble, if not they will run at loss, people that are gambling for profit will not listen to you, until they become victim themselves.

I think it depends on why they want to gamble that's when you should advice then to stop gambling or to be gambling with care. If your friend is trying to be gambling as he wants to be making money therefore making gambling his source of making money. You should advise your friend to stop gambling and look for other things he can do that'll be giving him reliable source of money as gambling will make him to become addicted to gambling as he's chasing after his losses looking for money.

If your friend wants to start gambling for entertainment you shouldn't advice him to stop gambling, guide him on how he should gamble as you already have an experience due to you have being gambling before him and haven't become addicted to gambling or had a bad experience from gambling. Your advice are your personal experience therefore you can give it to anyone but don't force them to follow it.

Sharing a tough experience like losing big in gambling is a way to look out for others, even if it seems a bit negative. Its like saying, “Hey, this could happen, so be careful” .
But yeah, everyones gambling journey is different, and one perso"s bad experience doesn’t mean everyone will end up the same way.

I think sharing these stories is about giving a heads-up, not laying down a rule. Its cool to share what you’ve been through if it might help someone think twice and make smarter choices. After all, its up to each person to decide what they do with that advice.

From my understanding I think that there is no money that is small in gambling, if you are losing $10 you are also the same as one who is losing $50 also. From my end, I can say that the person who's wagering $10 is wagering what he can afford to lose and sometimes they don't even have up to $50. IMO, as long as you are losing money on bets you are also equal to one who losing millions and you are even much better than them. Why I said better than them is because you have the knowledge of what gamble can cause so you chose to only risk what you can afford to lose.

And right now, the dude is all out to castigate and discourage as many that are willing to give him a listening ear; from gambling, all for what? Because gambling didn't turn out well for him, he lost his entire life savings, and he now believed that that is exactly how every other persons out there gambling will lose too.

From my instincts, I don't choose to listen to people that have lost and not have anything to offer except just words, now the guy has lost his money on bets and he's trying to make someone understand that gambling is not good and it's also something they should stop. I choose not to listen to such persons, the guy should have known that earlier before he lost his life's savings on gamble.

What do you make of this, I honestly do not know but deep inside of me, I feel it's absolutely wrong to advice people against doing something, just because you did the same thing and it did not favor you..

You spoked well, everyone is not the same as everyone has their separate luck against everything they deal on, you can choose to stop what's not working fine for you and allow others to do it, you can only give advise for people to be careful while gambling and not to tell them to stop. If he wasn't the greedy type he would have lost all his savings on gamble, the first mistakes he made was when he went all in.
