Gambling is short cut to poverty

[Fortify]

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.

There does seem to be more gambling advertising now than ever before and we might start to see a reversal of that trend eventually. Just like cigarette companies used to sponsor football leagues and individual teams a couple decades ago, before they were banned, we might see similar sorts of bans come in. Almost every Premier League football team now has these sponsors and it is a regular headline about how governments are thinking of stopping it or slowing it down. It might be right for areas that draw in a lot of younger viewers because they can often fall into the trap of addiction and it may encourage them to spend beyond their means.

Gambling is not for the weak. So many people may see gambling as a source of income but they will be surprised to see that they have lost couples of money within a short period of time. There is risk in gambling and people do not know that until they start to lose money.
Maybe people still see gambling as a main source of income because of their current situation of not getting a job to spend most of their time on. Gambling should not be seen as an everyday activity because of the high probability of people getting addicted to it.

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

This depends on your purpose of gambling;

• For fun
• To live comfortably
• To become suddenly rich

People who gamble because they want to become rich suddenly are always the losers.

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.

Some people has won big in gambling, no doubt but I have never seen a proud gambler.

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

Not only going broke, some became addicted and some became criminals in order to have gambling money.

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.

Government are doing their best by introducing laws guiding gambling. But then, government don't control your life, you have your decisions to make.

Even if someone has been able to make it big from gambling, that shouldn't be an excuse to educate or encourage others to go down that same route, as their both faiths can't be the same.
 
I have seen one and read about a few people who have followed that line and have been successful, and I have also read about means who have tried to make it through gambling that end up losing the little they have to it instead, which is the reason why it should just be proceeded with caution even if it's under government control; it can't change anything much.

[terrific]

I've got friends that have been full time gamblers and they're able to make themselves a path through it.
Yes, they're able to have some way of earning decently and now, they're able to expand their profits into other businesses.
They know that gambling isn't forever as their source so while they're fortunate and winning some good money there.
They're also making sure that their future won't be sticking to it because it can wipe them out with a single blow of bet.

I do not agree that gambling is a shortcut to poverty, it is not the fault of gambling itself but rather the problem of each individual who gambles too much. In most cases, many people go bankrupt because of gambling, but let's look further into why bankruptcy can happen, yes, because it is done excessively. Gambling is a means of entertainment, not a place to make money or build a career, besides casinos do not force their players to spend a lot of money on gambling, they only provide paid entertainment, but the rest is the decision of each player who does it like what.
With those who have spent their savings because gambling is their own fault, because there is no basis for casinos to force, this is purely the fault of each individual, I am sure of that. Moreover, there is no clear certainty that this is something that will definitely happen, therefore people who go bankrupt because they spend a lot of money on gambling, including their savings, are people who take the wrong steps, they must be able to realize to gamble in moderation because I myself do it reasonably, everything is fine.

Gambling shouldn't be taken as source of income but for fun. Gambling can either make someone to be successful or poor two things are always involve that is why it is always advisable to gamble with the amount of money we can afford to loss. I have seen people that have been successful through gambling I have also seen people that has gone to square zero because they got addicted in gambling and take it as a means of income, gambling should be seen not as a way to make money but entertainment because there is no sure grantee that the game will play or not so gambling with the money you can't afford to loss and been addicted into it is definitely be a short cut to poverty when all your hope is been placed on gambling.

I am sure the chances of someone being full time worker as a Gambler is way low. I mean even if they are winning it in the first phase of their life of Gambling, you never know when the second phase starts. And when it does, it hits you hard on the face. I am not wishing anything like that for your friends, just saying so you atleast don't get inspired from that example.

Gambling should always be done on the money that you never want back.

People do really love to point out their fingers whenever they do face up some difficulty on which this is really that a very common human behavior. They cant really just that able to accept on what are the things
that they have done. If they were really just that sensible into their actions then they wont really be finding gambling as a negative thing since this is really just that made out for the sake of fun and leisure.

The wrong thing about people is that they've been expecting too much about it on which they do really believe that they could changed up their lives because of gambling. There would really be those times or moment that greed is really something that pushes you to play more on which this is really that very normal on gambling field. For those people who are really that wishing on skipping out poverty and doing gambling as their last resort,then they are really that bound on losing up even more or they will really becoming that even more poorer.

There's no other people that should really be that be getting blamed but none other yourself when it comes to this. You are the ones who do make out such decision so you should face up on
whatever the things that you might be able to experience basing up into the decisions been made. Control and moderation is crucial but most of the time this one would really be that neglected
or something that not being minded.

The way you are sounding makes it looks like you are holding something against those who are gambling and like I know, there are people who has shared their testimony about what they have benefited from gambling and how it has helped them so far. Of course when people are winning in gambling you wouldn't see them here to announce how much or how often they gained from gambling except for few people who just feels like sharing. We know most people religions frown gambling and for that when people are trying to come into gambling there is always way a to tell them to gamble responsibly than just keep telling people to gamble or telling younger people to go gamble.

Alcohol, cigarettes and other activities for entertainment purposes that drain money is almost same with gambling if you will use it properly.

Same with all the things that I mention above. A poor people shouldn’t use those things for a temporary satisfaction yet they keep doing it despite the repercussions due to the enjoyment they can get. Same with gambling, people keep playing in hope to win huge someday.

Gambling is a choice. It’s not a mandatory that’s why people needs to be a responsible gambler.

[GideonGono]

It would depend on the skills and luck of the gambler, gambling could be a way for them to get out of poverty or the reason they stay in it.
Even if the government control it, there is nothing that they could do, people would always find or create a way for them to enjoy what they want or do what they want.

Shortcut to extreme poverty i should say on which it could really be able to mess up even more someones life when you do end up on having no control when it comes into your spending. Gambling is indeed something just for the sake of fun and it would really be that recommended that it should really be done in moderation because if you've been thinking that gambling could change up your life then better think twice.
Regret do always come at the end and not on the first of the line. People will really be just that making out those immediate actions on the time or moment that they are on tough situation. I dont know on where they do put up their common sense or right thinking on how the heck they do make g ambling as their living option? We do know that it was just that intended for the sake of fun and not for source of income.

If you dont like for you life to be that messed up then better play gambling in moderation or treat it up as form of entertainment and not on making money. You will really be able to experience the worst thing
on the moment that you will really be having that kind of approach towards it.

I also have a few friends who gamble full time but I have never seen anyone who can make themselves a path through it, they all cause a lot of debt for their families even though they are all rich families. Therefore, I confidently assert that no one will have a good ending if they spend all their time gambling in the hope of getting rich quickly. There is no formula or path that can help us escape poverty and become rich through gambling, it is all just our illusion and because of that illusion, we will become poor faster.

To put it more precisely, gambling is where we spend money, not where we make money.

[Jawhead999]

It's a short cut to poverty if the gamblers can't control themselves, similar like someone who get a lot money and choose to enjoy luxury lifestyle.

It would depend on the skills and luck of the gambler, gambling could be a way for them to get out of poverty or the reason they stay in it.
Even if the government control it, there is nothing that they could do, people would always find or create a way for them to enjoy what they want or do what they want.

Nah, gambling shouldn't be a way to get out of poverty, even if you have intention to make money via gambling, make sure you not doing that in your lowest position. Making money via gambling is like starting a business, you either make it or go broke.

Gambling is now a vice because it has caused a massive destruction in people's lives, like you said a lot of people are unable to save money due to this catastrophic addiction that constantly takes from money from them. In my opinion I don't think anyone has made it from gambling or become financially stable from it, but you might ask, how about those that win millions? If you check how they utilize their wins you would know that they can't be financially stable with it. The population of those that lose are more than those that win on a daily basis, it's a losing game and can be very addictive but it's your choice to make it an habit.

To put it more precisely, gambling is where we spend money, not where we make money.

On the moment that you are already on such situation like;

1. Spending your life savings
2. Putting up too much time into your gambling activity and forget out your priorities
3. Debts and loans are keep on piling up because of gambling

Then this is the moment that you should stop on playing gambling because if you would really be continuing on doing such thing then you would really be that putting up yourself on great trouble.
Just like the rest been saying on this thread that instead on making having a good life, you would really be rather be ending up on miserable specially on the time or moment that gambling
will really be taking almost everything from you because we know that it all matters about luck and it isnt something that always on our side. So better be careful on what we are dealing into.

[Jaycoinz]

People think gambling is a way out of economic hardship or poverty but it's just like the topic says, it's a short cut to poverty. I know a lot of people that have well paying jobs and good businesses that still gamble, they try to use gambling as a way to get an extra source of income and instead of them to make more they lose the money they generate from their business or job. If you have something lucrative that you earn from don't try to make gambling a side hustle otherwise you will lose your earnings and at the end of the day you won't make any proper investment in anything.

I will have to sincerely accept that gambling has ruined many lives.  I know a brother in my religious organization who inherited so much wealth from his father but he lost all because of gambling. Now, it is also noteworthy to state it is not gambling that affects people's finances but over or excess gambling. Nobody has faced financial problems gambling responsibly. If you gamble with what you can afford to lose, you will never lose your savings or investment because of it. I also know many responsible gamblers in my area who have benefitted immensely from gambling.

Of course, I wouldn't introduce gambling to any of my relatives because I don't know if they can control their gambling habits. But I will guide anyone who has shown interest in how to gamble responsibly.

Placing restrictions on the amount people who suffer from gambling disorders use for betting is a welcome idea since it will help control their expenses on betting. However, people should be allowed to control their money, especially if they are responsible gamblers.

It only becomes a fact if you are not gambling responsibly; its your ticket to poverty if you do not know how to manage your bankroll and you do not know how and when to stop.
Mindset plays a crucial factor in determining what path you're going to take; if you're responsible, you'll go to enjoyment of the game, if not, then it will be your short cut to poverty, like you stated.
