How much of my salary should I use to gamble

[Ojima-ojo]

Why should you think of gambling with your salary if you are going to lose the money, for me the only money I can gamble with is only free cash flow that is the money that I don't have any financial need for and is not included in my budget since I have to plan and work for my salary for a whole month, I will not gamble with such money, I can gamble with money that is gifted to me from work which is not a part of my salary.


Most times gambling is best taken as just fun and ways to lose money and burn out some times just to ease up stress, no one should take gambling to be a means to make 🤑💰 because it won't happen at least not most of the time.

Maybe he means what percentage of the total monthly salary whether it's 5% or 10% for me it's too big and it's a pity that the results of a full month's work are then partly for gambling, so it's better to find other income so it doesn't interfere with your monthly salary.

In essence, never force gambling if the monthly salary is still mediocre for a full month's needs, with free cash flow it is better because when they lose it will not be too stressful....

What I do in gambling, there is free money to gamble, if there is no then just rest.

If you are family man and you have kids to feed. Make sure that you allocate first to the basic needs, food, rent, bills, etc. And whatever is left there is the one where you're going to pull your funds off for gambling. So, let's say that you have $50-$100 remaining for every month, do you think that you're able to live with that amount as your bankroll for the entire month? I don't think that many will do but if you are having a tight budget then you have to deal and live with it.

you're right, and someone who is a family man that is working is someone who can remember to make such calculations and it work out for him, because most of persons that's a gambler really be inquisitive to make money through gambling and most of them that don't think of reservations of welfare of children and reservations of funds to new of apartment before they go into gambling, as I said that someone that will have such thinking is someone who is working already but someone who is jobless will think that the little he or she have can be multiply through gambling, so gamblers have different narratives.

Gambling is becoming a popular thing in my locality almost everyone gamble and even colleagues gamble and engage in gambling related discussions at work,  so gambling is legal and very popular so there is no Shame in using part of a salary to gamble with that is why I am asking the question of what the right percentage from my salary that I should use to gamble?

I don't think there's a fixed figure or a template to follow on this. It is just like asking how much of your income should you use to buy bitcoin. Gamble with what you can afford to lose. What do I mean by what you can afford to lose. Gambling with the amount you will not keep remembering if you eventually lose.

I have seen people talking about 5%. Maybe you have to use 5% as the benchmark or the max cap of what you can use to gamble. These stats can change if you do not actually win. The more you lose, the more you keep reducing the amount you use to gamble until you do not gamble again.

You are actually correct about that. Being a family man requires a whole lot of responsibility and we should be cautious of how we spend our bankroll. Before someone would set aside a certain amount for gambling we should try as much as possible to settle the important things at hand before we gambling, just as you have stated above, by settling for rent, food, school fees and other important expenses. and Morover investing some amount in bitcoin which is more important before gambling the little amount you may have set aside. And if that amount has finished, you have to hold on for a specific period of time before you can gamble again. And it will be the next time you receive your salary either weekly or monthly.

i have firm believe that people who gamble should be done with their needs first, they should be at least quite well off or have spare money, there's no point in engaging into such activity if someone is so broke, they just gonna make things worse.
be well off first, have that spare of money, and then engage, of course if you somehow believe and so optimistic that your pick gonna be the best pick in the century you can always mess and find out, since probably you gonna be regretting over it if it turns out truly to be a victorious pick on your side but then again know your financial capabilities and stake only what you can afford to stake, there's nothing more harmful to your current financial well being other than forcing yourself into something that you shouldn't do.
just know that some people doing it for entertainment because it is entertainment for them since sometime they already have too much money so they want the excitement and adrenaline, other than that if anyone is so broke they barely make ends meet.
they simply just trying to put themselves in difficult situation, at least thats my opinion and of course i can be mistaken about it.

1-5% of your salary is all you need for a gambling budget and you should not exceed or stretch the limits. Also, it is indeed not advisable to gamble with your monthly earnings

Gambling can be addictive; keep yourself safe

Basic needs of a human being must be met regularly to survive. A person works hard for this. Some work or some are engaged in business. People always try to save money beyond these basic necessities. Since everyone's income is not equal, saving is not easy for everyone, even if some people can do it easily. A person with low or high income has a budget for entertainment. In my sense if one can budget up to 10 percent it will not be difficult to spend that money. However, even if there is an increase of 10 to 20 percent depending on the range of income, there will be no hindrance in the gambling of the gamblers. Those with higher incomes spend more money, but those with lower incomes do not have the opportunity to spend a little more.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

When the amount of money from gambling winnings cannot be allocated to savings and there is a small chance that money for other needs can be allocated to savings as well, relatively addicted gamblers cannot allocate funds for savings because the influence of gambling has worsened their economy, especially since some gamblers consider gambling to increase their income and they use a lot of money just to bet. The solution is that they have to limit access to gambling if they want to plan to make savings and they have to set a low allocation for gambling.

These are people who were once non-gamblers, started gambling, and were never addicted from the start, but at some point took it upon themselves to become addicted. In worse cases of addiction, it can scatter a long relationship that took years to build and cause more harm and pain, but some gamblers will just allow themselves to  fall for this. 

It's not really difficult to take out some money from your winning reward and only keep some for gambling, but some gamblers make the mistake of leaving every dollar on their casino balance; they don't want to withdraw until they are done playing, while in the process of continuous gambling, they will end up losing all the money, including the one they had in mind to withdraw.

Unfortunately, some people who are new to gambling actually think gambling will give them wealth. With limited funds, even those who are addicted are willing to spend most of their salary on gambling.
As you said, it will only put them in a difficult situation. where their living needs will be disrupted and if the addiction continues, it will even drain their wealth.

everyone who wants to gamble. they must really know and be prepared for the risks. especially prepared for their finances.

It would be wise to decide our gambling spending based on how much money we are making each month or week as well as how much money we have left over from all our expenses each month or week. If our expenses are more than our income then there will be no money left for gambling but if with our monthly salary we can save some money to meet the needs of the family then we can definitely plan to gamble with that money. First of all make a monthly routine and for making monthly routine some amount more than the amount needed every month should be assumed for family management then if there is remaining money then gambling can be planned with that money.

hat's right, when we already have income or income then we have to be able to meet our needs first or prioritize things that are important to survive for a certain period of time, don't think that we can overcome financial problems by taking out a loan of course it might be sweet at the beginning but most likely it will bitter in the end and makes us experience greater losses. I always set aside some of the remaining money that I have, when I have fulfilled all the things that are important in my opinion and there is still money left over that can be used as best as possible, I still divide it evenly, where I set aside a little for gambling and a little for myself, whether that means buying snacks. or drinks.

Of course, for people who really think about the future, they will do their best by saving or even investing the money they earn, but don't forget that investment must be done with good knowledge and also with good understanding. Don't invest but don't know. what should I do next? it's the same as committing suicide. because if that's the case, I think they only hope for quick profits, whereas investment also has its own risks.

[Bravut]

As I have said in my previous comment, I would not advice anyone to gamble with there salary it is financially unwise. We can gamble from other funds, nevertheless everyone is entitled to there decision about what they choose and how they want to live there life.

This is matter of Money management, and money allocated to separate stuff/project needed of which if there is a surplus you can use them for gambling to replace beer or some unnecessary fun, but should be as low as possible, and should not replace any wants.

You should probably think about not spending money on gambling at all
But if the habit is already there and the gambler cannot imagine his life without a casino or other gambling games, then you need to understand how much money a gambler needs for life per month. He need to take into account the costs of everything: food, clothes, loans and more. In general, find out the balance of funds that can be spent without problems.
At the same time, the gambler should not save money, because high-quality food and things are very important.

It’s fine to allocate a small portion of your disposable income like 1-5% for recreational activities such as gambling. Obviously it’s important to remember that gambling should be treated as entertainment and not as a source of income.

Setting a budget and sticking to it is crucial to ensure responsible gambling and to avoid financial difficulties. It’s a good idea to prioritise essential expenses, savings and investments before allocating any portion of your salary for gambling.

Setting a budget and sticking to it is crucial to ensure responsible gambling and to avoid financial difficulties. It’s a good idea to prioritise essential expenses, savings and investments before allocating any portion of your salary for gambling.

Because if we understand the dangers of gambling and the various adverse effects that can potentially occur then clearly the best approach to gambling is to only allocate a very small amount of budget such as 1 - 5% that you mentioned, and I think that amount is sufficient to get entertainment and fun when we have free time with boring situations.

Considering that gambling is nothing more than a recreational activity is the most correct point of view, because by having the intention and purpose for entertainment, it is clear that our minds will be distracted from the pursuit of victory, which means and benefits that there is less chance for us to apply or do various dangerous actions such as greed that can trigger a much worse situation.

And yes it is true as you said that by only risking small amounts then indirectly this approach will make it easier for us to become a responsible gambler, and maybe we have often heard about the idea of “not overdoing it and betting small amounts that are ready to lose”, the reason is because by only betting small amounts then we will be easier to accept the fact of losing, and another benefit is that obviously this approach can save us from possible financial problems.

That's right, we should fulfill our basic needs first, especially if we are the head of the family, of course we must prioritize our family. Don't think about making money by gambling when your finances are unstable because that will only make things worse. after all we have to survive and with what you say that paying bills, rent, food, etc. is a requirement for survival. In fact, I don't think this applies to those who are already married, of course for those who already have income and salary but don't have a family yet, that doesn't mean they have to spend all their salary on gambling, that's not the right thing to do.

In fact, I think that with the remaining money that you said, it won't be enough to last one month, what's more, we don't know what will happen tomorrow, even though we don't want anything bad to happen, we still have to be prepared.

What you said is really true in my opinion, however, if you make a small bet and lose, the player will not even feel it, and many people come to gambling precisely for feelings and emotions. If we take the opposite situation and imagine that the player won, then the winnings will be small, since he took on a small risk with this bet. And a small win will be boring and uninteresting to him, he will want more, I think many have gone through this.

I sometimes think that no matter how much a person actually earns, he will be interested when the stakes are high relative to his salary. Even if he is a millionaire, he will not be interested in bets of hundreds of dollars, he will want to bet in a thousand or tens of thousands. I can only advise one thing - don’t let gambling eat your wallet, place adequate bets, but at the same time I understand that few will listen to me and do as they see fit, because everyone there thinks that they are kings.

How much of what you make needs to go just to keeping the basics covered? I mean rent, utilities, groceries.  Gambling's for fun, not paying the bills.  First step's figuring out what you absolutely need to live.

Then take whatever's left over and decide if you wanna risk some of that for a shot at winning a jackpot, etc.

Very good analysis. So it's literally not about specifying a specific amount to use in gambling, what matters most is the bills and essential needs being financially required to be achieved, having his savings plans and then he'd realize the particular amount of money to be used for his gambling out of his income.

There is nothing that can be more than the gambling roles that says don't gamble with more than what you can't afford to lose, a notable percentage for betting might not really be necessary as individual have different size of income or salary and different lifestyles so as our gambling percentage from our salary will differ too. However, it is very important we take Care of our basic needs before considering gambling, you can gamble with as much of your salary if it is within the range of the amount that you can afford to lose as gambling gives no guarantee. Gambling is very risky and every one have different risk tolerance level so everyone should only stay within his limit as going above your limit can be very devastating and can affect one's life negatively if not properly handle.

I see this question as a rhetorical question because telling you how much you will use with your salary to gamble is not wise. This thread was not needed here. And if you want forum users to tell you how much you will need to use to gamble then, you would have tell the community how much is your monthly salary so people can tell you how much should be use. And if you must know, your colleagues you said are gambling are also good example to ask. And lastly you can make a budget from your salary after paying all the bills and stock your house with food items and clothes then you can think of gambling.
