Gambling is short cut to poverty

[uche6215]

With gambling gaining awareness each day and the population of those gambling increasing it's calls for concern as many has fallen victim to this money sucking game that makes people not to save their money but loss it.
But let's take a critical look at this very sensitive matter called gambling has anyone really made it from gambling, is gambling worth it and if really anyone has made it through gambling can he/she proudly tell the younger ones that gambling is what going into.
Infact gambling has made many to go broke and live in poverty many has lost their life savings and even pension in gambling, I am of the view that gambling should be controlled by the government of each country and that there should be a maximum amount of money one should use in gambling.

I am of the view that gambling should be controlled by the government of each country and that there should be a maximum amount of money one should use in gambling.

But you know already that the governments do not give a fuck about gamblers and bettors. They care more about the taxes. Then you are the one to learn not to be greedy and see gambling as just a means of having fun. If you see it not in that way or it is not fun for you, then you should quit gambling.

Many gambling sites follow some regulations and have helpful information for addicts or those that are becoming addicted to gambling. But gambling addiction is more than just those articles and self-exclusion that you see on the gambling sites. The best self-exclusion comes from the mind while the best means to gamble comes from the mind and it requires discipline.

Lets agree that yea the government controls how people should gamble with what optimum amount they should use per day or weekly as the case may be. The 100 dollar question is, can the government be able to control how many different accounts that gambler decides to open with different gambling platforms using different information details? No, don't think so.

On the other hand, it's ultimately true about what charles-tim said. The government don't give a damn anymore than they do for the taxes they receive from these gambling companies. You have to be consciously responsible for your gambling disposition, nobody's coming to save you not even the government.

There are two types of people that gambles that I know of, it's actually three but let's just remove the third for they're the ones that are the real enjoyers of it. So here they are.

1. Gamblers that are thinking of getting out of poverty through gambling.
2. Rich gamblers that are still hooked with gambling and thinks that they can multiply their money on it.

So, either can be for fun but that's the definition that I've come up for both of them. We can say that we're all for fun and games but can't remove the fact that when money talks, everybody listens and so as gamblers.

I agree, but you have to think about it this way, gambling has been with us since time immemorial. Not saying that I favor gambling since I'm a gambler myself. But then again, how can you control something that has been with us ever since the existence of humans?

I know that there are certain countries that has totally ban gambling and the government could be very effective. However, as humans, we has evolved as well to gamble and maybe they uses other methods to curb that ban.

That's why the only weapon is to educate ourselves about the ill effects of it and then stay away and have self-control.

Do you know what those people who went broke and lost their life savings to gambling have in common? yes, that's right, gambling money they can't afford to lose. As for whether the government should have control over gambling, would you mind elaborating more about it? I mean, are you saying that there shouldn't a privately owned gambling casinos(online and offline) and the government should be the one who owns it or gambling should be heavily regulated by the government?

[mirakal]

Gambling sites can be regulated by the government but talking about control and discipline on gambling, it's not on the government already but should come from the gamblers' mindset. Otherwise, if they pursue gambling without setting limits and just gamble with all their funds, then it's highly possible that they will end up losing all their hard-earned money and become homeless due to their gambling addiction. Take note that falling into poverty because of gambling habits is always a choice because of wrong decision making and irresponsible gambling habits.

[ajiz138]

Thinking like that, it's obvious that many gamblers will go bankrupt.
Is gambling to be successful? Of course not, but I recognize gambling for fun and wouldn't spend my entire savings just to gamble it's a bit stupid if anyone does.

Even if you chase losses most gamblers still lose, so discipline is most important.
Set a bankrol for gambling so you know your limits.

About the government having to control the gamblers it can't, they will take care of taxes for the country's income, sometimes the government doesn't care about the fate of the people who are addicted to gambling, it is an individual problem that must be resolved by themselves while the government only appeals.

[Darker45]

If it's registered gambling, it's already controlled by the government in one way or another. Not fully, of course. But if it's a state-run gambling, then its operation is entirely under government management.

It's hard to implement a maximum amount for gamblers. How could that be set? After all, each individual gambler has a different financial capacity. $100 may be big to one but a mere spare change to another. So, would you require every gambler to open up his/her financial books to determine his/her maximum capacity?

[Nrcewker]

For this reason, it has been said to gamble that amount that you can afford to lose. I believe gambling is only for the rich. It can only be considered a source of recreation and not a method to earn money. 

But let's take a critical look at this very sensitive matter called gambling has anyone really made it from gambling,

Some will definitely say that they have made money from gambling. Let me explain how this happened. So this can only be possible if your bankroll is high. Let's say your bankroll is $100,000 USD, so yes, in this case, it will be easy to make 40-50 dollars a day through that balance.
Now regarding the government thing, then government won’t stop these gambling sites or casinos, as they pay huge taxes to government and the government wants more casinos to be opened.

[gunhell16]

Most people know that gambling does nothing good for gamblers; these are facts that cannot be denied. That's why there are only two: either you become addicted to gambling or you become responsible in a way that you can control yourself while you gamble without being driven by greed.

Because if you don't have self-control or discipline in gambling, you will end up with an addiction, which, in the end, if left to happen, can lead to destruction with various results. This is reality and facts that actually happen most of the time.

Gambling often presents itself as a quick path to wealth, but it tends to be a shortcut to financial ruin if one becomes addicted or irresponsible. With more people being drawn into it every day, it’s becoming a serious issue that affects not just individuals, but also their families and communities. Most often, gambling leads to heavy losses, leaving people in a cycle of desperation, especially if they always expect to win and believe they will succeed by imitating others' strategies.

There is people who really make money from gambling but the number will not too big because gambling is not a way to make money. But people tends not care about that and still trying to make money even if they already lost their money before.
They don't realizes that gambling is not a way to solves poverty but will makes them bankrupt faster than they can imagine. People can not saves their money because they think they can make more money from gambling.
It needs more awareness from them not to use gambling to make money and search for the other ways which will be more possible to make money. Gambling should be controlled by the government but the government must warn their people not trying to playing gambling excessively to prevents the big lose.

The whole idea about government controlling any thing is simply for their own gain. They don't really care about the people suffering from any of the implications that follows. One thing anyone and everyone should know is that we can't blame or point fingers when it comes to gambling wrecks. That because it is something you do at your own risk. We know how gambling is risky but then you see sometimes when you are lucky you can make good amount of wins. Though some people have become rich though gambling of different kinds but the we all know how they become at the end. When you take gambling too serious it becomes a part of you and that's your responsibility to take..

Do you know that there is something called responsible gambling? We all know how bad gambling can end up. Gambling-addicted people even take loans and sell their assets to gamble more and expect to win something big which will change their lives. Even if they win something big, the addicted people will gamble more to make additional money. Unfortunately, that is not how it works.

I don't think the government would be able to control the entire gambling industry since there are a lot of unregulated online casinos. The government can't monitor the casinos. People never reveal their wealth in casinos. Even if they are broke, they will act like they are rich.

Infact gambling has made many to go broke and live in poverty many has lost their life savings and even pension in gambling

It is not only gambling that leads people to bankruptcy, alcohol, drugs, unemployment, there are many other things that lead people to bankruptcy. I know that there are cases of people addicted to gambling who have lost everything they had. It is a very sad situation, but we cannot forget that gambling is not to blame. The guilty party is the people who are misusing gambling. What should be done is to always put up a warning so that people realize that they should gamble in moderation and only with money that they can afford to lose.

I am of the view that gambling should be controlled by the government of each country and that there should be a maximum amount of money one should use in gambling.

Look, a person works 8 hours a day, this person wakes up early and comes home late, every day this person suffers at work and when the end of the month comes, this person receives a salary and taxes are deducted. And yet this person should accept that the government decides how it should use the salary money? I don't think that would be right. People should be free to use their honest money as they wish.

Or in most cases a real working shortcut to misery. That way of thinking is what has caused massive damage to people embracing it and thinking they would be going to get out of poverty through gambling. Even in the case where someone has hit it big we know 99.99% of these stories have ended up in misery also because addiction got the best out of them. Therefore anyone who lives by the motto of shortcut to poverty in reality is shortcut to misery.

[Charles-Tim]

It is better this way: a knife can be a recipe to something bad as it can also be a recipe to something good. This is how gambling. If you follow the good side of gambling, you will have fun with it. And like I explained above that if you are not having fun while gambling, then stop gambling. Gambling should not be seen as a way of making money which is where the problem can do begin from.

1.Wait, isn't gambling controlled by the government in most countries around the world? Apparently, the current level of control and regulation doesn't work.
2.Maximum amount of money that everyone should use in gambling? I wonder how this would work and who is going to control the whole process. The casinos want the gamblers to spend as much money as possible. Do you really think that the casinos are going to limit the amount of money every gambler puts in his account?
3.Yes, gambling can make you poor, if you lose control over your behavior. Every other addiction can make you poor, when you lose control over yourself. Many people just lose control. There's no easy solution for this problem.
