Gambling is short cut to poverty

[Jody.Drummer]

One thing we forget is that gambling has been around for a long time, whether it is banned or not, people cannot be prevented from gambling. I mean gambling is about personality and will always involve personal decisions. Even though many countries have banned gambling, provided education and so on, it does not stop someone from accessing gambling. Unless you live in North Korea with full control, then the level of eradication of gambling will be easy to do, both from the lower and upper levels of society to the upper levels of society.

Indeed, gambling is now almost like a common thing in society, the number of people who do this gambling makes gambling something that is no longer strange even though gambling is prohibited in a country but there are still many people who do it like in my country, even though gambling is prohibited because it is against the law but there are many people who do it, some even do it openly in public and some do it live on social media, precisely on their personal accounts. In addition, I see some people who do provide sites or links that they promote even though as far as I know they are not casino workers themselves, I don't know what they do but this exists and I often encounter it. Even though previously there were cases where several people were arrested for promoting their sites or casinos openly on their personal accounts.

Knowing how to manage your money is the best counter in terms of taking any risk,

Yes, and for that we must be clear about what we are Looking for , it is not the same to be in a market and go with everything and lose, than to go only with what we should and can so as not to affect our daily life, if we go with everything and put all the hopes in an Investment and if it does not happen quickly then obviously we would be Losing , if that happens it is one of the worst management that we as humans thought we would do, it is not the right thing to do, that is why we Should be very careful with our finances , always consider every detail , and the money in a casino or Exchange is everything, it is the only thing that Matters.

[Blowon]

If the government cares, then government revenue will decrease, this will have a chain effect, and has positive and negative sides, maybe the government has chosen the best option for them even though unilaterally they ignore their people a little.

Nowadays gambling has become very easy and you can gamble online with your cell phone whenever you want and government restrictions will not work as much as people get easy solutions to bet as they like. People from different countries tend to play more in groups than physical gambling or going to a casino, which strengthens their social bonds and can be more beneficial than gambling at home. People from country to country have taken themselves out of the mainstream of gambling and online gambling has become increasingly popular and I haven't seen much of an impact in the context of government bans and gambling in my country but if the government restricts online gambling and physical casinos or gambling boards to one platform can bring but can expect huge taxes.

That's a nice way to approach gambling, by not going beyond your budget. Because that act most time do initiate addiction which is normally cause by greed of wanting more because some people want more that's why they usually go beyond their budget. Because they believe the higher their stake then more profit they can get , which is usually the wrong mindset, because those kind folks are not playing for fun rather for the money they can win .

Whether one is player for fun or for profit sake alone, they need to know that gambling has to be practice in the right responsible approach which is going to prevent losing money unnecessarily and also prevent addiction. Those two fact scuh as addiction and irresponsible gambling habits is what can make the person to become poor and can never experience financial growth because they are spending everything they have in gambling.

[ethereumhunter]

They are not well educated or they are just really gamblers from the start. I mean, even if there's education there's still a possibility that a gambler will always be a gambler no matter how many good things you tell them to prevent them from doing the bad habit that also became a routinary for them.

In the past, most gamblers are from the sports industry and athletes. Because they easily get money from 1 match in boxing or whatever sport they are good at, they also gamble it like they are millionaires even if they don't have any savings at all. Back when I was a kid, I heard a lot of news about them suddenly going poor because of gambling.
I think what we should really learn is the correct way of securing our financial incomes. Even if there's gambling, if we cannot move that money, then we still have a future.

Gambling is not depends on education or not, rich or poor. But when people attracts to gambling because they wants to makes money, they will not have a big chance to wins even if they are rich people. So when poor people wants to make money from gambling because they thinks that gambling can solve the poverty matters, that will be wrong mindset. They will difficult to win and only waste their money and makes them left without any money anymore.

We must know that to solve poverty, we needs to search for the source of income such as work so we can have a chance to earn money. We also needs to know how to manages our money properly so we can use that to improve our life from creating a new business or do other things that can helps us to earn more money.

The phrase "Gambling is short cut to poverty" is so controversial, as if there is a long path to being rich. If there were a magical, but 100% working strategy how to become rich, people will only follow it. However, even working hard and dedicating whole life to something, it does not guarantee that a person would become rich. As well as there is a chance (and proves) how people became rich in to time, after few click or by accidental luck. With this I would like to bust myth that gambling is a short cut to poverty. Making reckless decisions is a short cut to poverty.

Well, there is indeed a long path to being rich and I actually witnessed a handful of people who acquired wealth by taking this path. From rags to riches, and I think it isn't a coincidence that they don't actually gamble. Instead, they save and invest it to put up a business. BUT! don't get me wrong, I don't mean that when someone engaged into gambling, they will automatically taking the short cut to poverty lol. With proper moderation and self control, gambling is nothing but just a past time hobby. However, we've seen hundreds if not thousands of people became broke because of excessive gambling behaviours. But, I haven't seen someone who get broke by dedicating their lives into working hard. Some may not be able to reach the level of being rich, but at least they ain't broke either.

In the end, there will be gamblers who go bankrupt, and there will be gamblers who are mediocre even though they have the same gambling activities. it's just that some gamblers become excessive in their gambling which makes gamblers eventually go bankrupt. while other gamblers may be able to control their gambling allocation well so that their finances will not be burdened by their gambling. even though they don't become rich, at least gamblers who are disciplined enough will not be disturbed by their finances. and those who are negligent must bear the risk.

Some governments have taken a very radical view of gambling, to the point of banning gambling, blaming gambling for the misfortunes that many people are facing. But they forget that alcohol, drugs, prostitution, theft, murders, and corruption have also been responsible for people's misfortunes. So in my opinion, these governments with radical ideas should not ban gambling and should not say things like: "gambling only brings poverty to people." Because there are many good things that come from gambling. For example, casinos and the people who go to casinos pay taxes.

These taxes are used by governments to build hospitals, roads, schools, and other things. Casinos also sponsor sports, which often helps teams or athletes a lot. There are some lucky people who have won big prizes and then taken the money and started small businesses and created jobs, this is a good thing for a country's economy. So we have to look at the positive side of gambling too, instead of constantly looking at the negative side.

You're right; we can’t overlook the big economic contribution that legally operated casinos bring to the country. But even so, they’re also a major reason why many people face financial struggles, thinking gambling might be a way out of poverty—only to find themselves deeper in it. Sure, gambling can have its perks, but overall, we should think carefully before diving in, as it can ruin lives if we get too wrapped up in it. While some people have made fortunes, many more have lost. So if we’re playing, let’s make sure it’s for fun, not for financial gain—otherwise, it could end up costing us the dreams we hold.

Yes it is greed and most gamblers always find it difficult to ignore greed in their minds especially when they have managed to achieve a number of wins, as you said that often they are not satisfied with the amount of winnings they get so instead of cashing it out they continue and chase a larger amount of winnings which in the end often leads a gambler to significant regret when the amount of winnings they previously managed to get is lost again because of the luck that has been lost.

Therefore, this is why a gambler must know, understand and realize what and how gambling really is, because when you realize a fact that defeat will always be part of the game and also understand that previous wins cannot be used as a guarantee for the next win, then it is unlikely for you to apply greed.

Without realizing things in the early stage you are compromising your finances, as time goes by and you'll keep repeating that same mistakes you'll find yourself empty-handed, most gamblers regrets those failure those wrong decisions that they've made , especially the time that they've got the opportunity to quit while still have decent amount of profits,

though just the same it's greed inside that needed to be well taken care  so you'll not going to regret each decision that you made,  more on your own limits and Money management.

Yes, of course that's what will happen or what will be experienced by gamblers who are involved in gambling without being equipped with the right knowledge and understanding of what and how gambling really is, as you said that over time they will only continue to push themselves into various serious problems in their lives, especially in their financial situation and of course in the end regret is something they will definitely feel but unfortunately it's all too late.

Now there are quite a lot of gamblers who are trapped in this situation and in fact other people's experiences can certainly be used as learning material for us, which of course so that we don't fall into the same hole, you really need to use and maintain your rational mindset every time you find something new because after all, only you can save you.

care about what this is, as far as I know the government has optimized the appeal to prohibit gambling, and the government has also blocked gambling sites, if you say the government doesn't care that's very wrong, for countries that are anti-gambling everything has been maximized to minimize their citizens' addiction to gambling

Of course, those disciplined gamblers are the ones enjoying the fun in gambling, because they have nothing to lose but only the little amount of money that they are always using to gamble which they don't see as anything. Those irresponsible gamblers most times, loses everything in the sense, that they will keep on chasing their losses and become addicted. They will start living a tattered life, some of them families will abandon them, their reputation will be trampled on. Getting addicted is very easy but getting out of addiction is very hard, responsible gambling should be practiced whenever you are gambling for the sake of your loved ones.

Family responsibilities are more important than gambling. If a gambler fails to fulfill family responsibilities properly due to gambling then he should quit gambling. Basically, gamblers are advised to gamble in such a way that the gambler should gamble with the amount of money that his loss will not affect his life financially. There are many gamblers who have a daily gross income of three to five dollars where this entire amount is needed to support their family, many gamblers gamble with full money as well as borrowing money. But it should not be at all, there are some gamblers who come to gambling with the intention that gambling will change their life and they will earn millions of dollars by gambling. When they lose money gambling, they realize that gambling is not as easy as they thought it was.

It is very serious if someone abandons their responsibilities to their family for the sake of gambling, but this is often found in the surrounding community, at this stage it can be said that they are already in the criteria for gambling addiction, where they justify any means to get gambling capital, even though $5 is enough to meet their needs.

On the moment that you do step your foot into the field of gambling or betting then you should really be that already aware on the potential risks that you might be able to encounter or simply these are inevitable things on which people are really that too careless on making up such decisions on which instead on setting out risks management, they do rather tolerate out that greed inside on which they do really ends up on
being that impulsive gambling on which this really causes up for someones life to becomes messy because they arent really that careful on the things that they've been dealing into.
Gambling is indeed the shortcut to poverty on the moment that you do have that kind of greedy approach towards it. If you wont really be that careful then you would be ending up on having a messy life.

You are right, all gamblers should have a good awareness from the beginning about the risks that will occur in the casino if they gamble without having a good awareness, namely that the gambler may not be able to control himself in placing standard bets and there are also gamblers who choose the wrong casino game that does not match the expertise or skills that he has just because he sees the type of gambling game played by other gamblers that looks easy to win even though it is not certain that if he joins in playing he will succeed in getting the victory. So that a feeling of greed arises in him to get victory by betting excessively and the result is clear that we see around us, namely the amount of poverty or economic problems in the life of a gambler due to him not being able to manage good management in gambling itself.

[l3pox]

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 will never lay my cards in gambling knowing that my life will be ruined instead of having better.

Gambling  is not a shortcut instead a door to be more poorer.

make it a slider
a full thing that is long, hopefull and painfull in the end
a toboggan to hell

there are so many ways to make a better way, imagine relying on gambling just for the thrill
it's simply sad...

The most of the countries had prohibited the gambling site,to avoid of people life because of the gambling losses.As we know gambling had based on the fact of risk.The gamblers with weak potential to accept the loss will commit suicide.So the gamblers should understand the risk in gambling and play the game wisely.Also the gambler should play the game with individual responsibility.So the gamblers who play with responsibility will never complain for the losses Because he had a will power to get back their loss money in same website.

Mismanaged your finances will surely put you at risk especially when you are in a veneue where a single mistake can cause you everything, you need to work well on how to avoid following your emotions and always be keen in finding ways to skip if things is not doing well, gambling or investing both have risk that you need to consider, all kinds of factors that will helps you to prevent should be taking into consideration before pushing forward.

Your decision needs to be aligned with how you set your limits and expectations and not by just following your emotions which most of the time been dominated by greed and aggression.

It's sad that many gamblers had abandoned their family responsibilities for gambling and unfortunately government couldn't do anything to curb those excessive misbehaviour, I think government should launch a massive campaign against gambling addiction and make a law to punish and prosecute any gambler who was found guilty, or fix a maximum stake for all gamblers by working with gambling sites, It would be very disastrous for the family of such addicted gambler because it would be absolutely difficult to feed the family due to the irresponsibility of the family bread winner.
