"I must make it through gambling"

[Sanitough]

You call that as the mindset of a gambler.. once you call yourself a gambler, you are a high risk taker, and people who think like that does not only consider gambling as a way of having fun but they consider gambling as a way to make money as well, and they'll do everything to win.

However, they have to be careful with what they wish as that will put them prone to addiction, because of their obsessiion to gambling they won't notice that they are risking too much just to feed their fantasy to win big time. That's why this rule is very important, and I will always repeat it everytime I see a topic like this, "gamble what you can afford to lose only".

I feel like comments in social medias are mostly created by bots.

It doesn't only one short comment, with AI, they're more creative. Let's say the account is an Indian, but you will find they made appropriate comments using other local language. I think they took many comments and use AI to combine it.

I think people who thinking like these ways mostly are silent readers, instead of making comments, they will choose to gamble.

I think so too. I have seen profiles more than once that write only about success and successful bets, and all this is accompanied only by positive comments with a large number of likes, and looking at this, it seems that the player is really successful.
But it is worth taking a closer look at the accounts and everything becomes clearer that this is just a wrapper for a scam.

Can you guys believe that there are people (gamblers) thinking these way?

That quote could be a from a real genuine but deluded person, but this also could be from someone who wants to create social media persona around gambling as a lifestyle.

Because this would be very controversial subject that would get clicks, especially if that person fakes success, like most social influencers start. They start by buying followers and comments like you quoted. They could also claim, that they already have sponsorships to make them seem successful. Somehow people buy into that, because they see these people as inspiration and as someone who knows what they are talking about. That's why people follow rich people in the first place, they seem them as some kind of money authorities and wise people (which is almost never the case).

But short answer to your question:

Obviously there are some people that believe that, just like there are some people who wait next big win to end their gambling addiction.
But simplest explanation for those comments are that they are from most likely paid bots. They don't even cost that much and providing fake following and fake fans is a booming industry.

We should not believe everything that we see online. Even many things online are not real but fake. Although some bet slips are real and the gambler actually won but gambling and betting are beyond that. Some will show their winnings but not show their losses. If you can be able to look at their account, that would be when you will see the truth. They may not have impressive accounts at all. They may even be losing in total profits.  Some people do it for no two reasons than to scam people.

I believe, most gamblers are guilty of that kind of sentiments at one point in their gambling life. We are promising one more game to bet on but instead, the scenario will be - we keep on betting up until we have no more bankroll to use. It is quite addictive and if you don't know how to contain this habit, you can easily be the slave of this activity.

The latter ones sound pretty addiction normal, first one just sounds like an edgy nerd trying to sound cool lol. Honestly can't believe ANYONE says stuff like this, like in all seriousness. I've always believed stuff like this was said in the passing, just a joke or something similar.

Didn't even think about this when I started gambling lol. Maybe the 4th one, but not that specific lines. I never justified losing, I've always acknowledged it just that I always kept on playing just wanting to win in general.

Losing is always part of this activity. I don't think anyone only experience winning here. So if you already know the nature of this activity, why are you still hoping that you would hit big at the end of every session?

"Whether the devil likes it or not, this money must be made through gambling. "

"One sure odd is enough to give me a heavy cash out"

"I must make it through gambling"

"I will never give up. "

" We lose to win more"

Most addicted gamblers are always having this kind of mindset, that’s why they are always finding it difficult to stop gambling even when they are supposed to stop. They believe if they stop, they won’t be able to achieve their aim, or maybe their win might come when they decide to take a break, that’s why they don’t give up whenever they are gambling. Addicted gamblers do have different mindsets whenever they are gambling, that’s why they don’t always give up easily. Even when some are out of cash, they do look for ways to get money just to continue gambling, having the mindset to win when they take the risk.

[Adbitco]

Have you had this kind of believe before now, probably when you newly started gamby?

There are people who are naturally like this in everything they are doing it must not be gambling aspect but in other part of their lives. Thought it happens to be gambling statement, but they can break out if they can manage their risk in terms if financial management. A gambler can make it through gambling if he has other aspects of making money that keep sustaining them, with this they have removed desperation to moderate gambling but yet are determined to make it through gambling and of course is possible just as they said "one sure odd" is enough to give them the required amount they need since they are already determined to make it through gambling.

[Slow death]

Most people who are addicted to gambling tend to think that they can't give up gambling because one day they will be lucky enough to win so much money that they will recover everything they lost, but unfortunately this thinking leads them to ruin. I have seen people who played the lottery and didn't want to give up even when I told them that they had to stop for a while because they were becoming addicted to gambling, it took them a long time to realize that I was right and they stopped buying lottery tickets.

[Coyster]

You'll not believe it, but there are so many gamblers who think like this, and goodluck to you in trying to convince them otherwise, one of my friend once told me that he just learnt about the Martingale strategy, and that he will never lose if he implements it. Quite a lot of people believe they will become rich through gambling, it always does not turn out well for them.

I know that there are people who have won life changing money through gambling, if you go about thinking it could also be you, you might just mess up your life, lose most of your money and become an addict.

[Zigabel]

If you see a gambler with such mindset, will you advise the person or just allow the person to learn their lesson?

Honestly I will allow them learn their lessons, if you see someone who will be willing to take an advise, from their statement you will be able to tell that they will be willing to take advice about that but if they aren't their statement is another good Indicator, a typical example is this now, obviously he may listen but may not put that advice to consideration, may later get too emotional and still chase the big delusional wins and forget you advised him so like I stated earlier I will let them learn the hard way after all not everyone will learn from advise.

[Su-asa]

Most people who wouldn't admit that they are addicted to Gambling always say that "most people give up before winning" having this kind of mentality might be disastrous to anyone. This is one of the reasons why a lot of gamblers choose to chase their losses because they believe that if they constantly try to push their luck they might hit a big win despite the losses they are incurring regularly, before diving deep with this mindset ask yourself, what if you don't end up winning? Then it means you are just throwing all your money away, it's not a risk Worth taking.

Can you guys believe that there are people (gamblers) thinking these way?

Yes, I can believe it. And I know that many gamblers have a distorted perception of reality and therefore will always find an excuse for current losses and hope for future wins.

If you see a gambler with such mindset, will you advise the person or just allow the person to learn their lesson?

The casino will teach him a lesson, so I'd better keep quiet. It's pointless to give advice to fanatics, because they remain deaf to outside opinions until they themselves experience the pain and bitterness of the negative consequences of gambling.

Have you had this kind of believe before now, probably when you newly started gamby?

I have never had such beliefs and therefore, I am not susceptible to the "charms" of gambling and casinos. I don't have a gambling addiction.

[Accardo]

Personally, I've watched or seen such comments on Instagram where gamblers take it up as a means of financial independence. However, it's a form of less information on the player's end. Assuming they knew the right information, the players won't end up thinking that way. But, for the fact that the page where they follow show them expensive lifestyles which the influencer tag as the fruitfulness of gambling, the followers will have no option than thinking of gaming as the only road to success.

On the long run, social media is not the best channel for gamers to gain knowledge of gambling. Because of the falseful information that influencers hand out to them. And a lot of them get addicted with the type of wrong ideas they consume.

Some people might cliam that having this mindset shows perseverance. They can claim that most people who won big kept trying until they won big.

Every gambler should know that the game has risks and there is no certainty that you will win big from gambling. Many people have been gambling for years but have never won big, while sone have been fortunate.

I have never had the belief that I must make big money from gambling. I see it as a form of entertainment but I have not lost sight that I can be lucky one day and win a big sum.

[Yucky]

Someone in the thread said that some gamblers use it as a form of motivation. I hope it's just for motivation and not an excuse to be irresponsible with gambling. If someone without a stable income adopts this mindset, it could lead to addiction. Because they might try every means possible to make it through gambling, chasing a potential windfall.

Gamblers need to understand that they can gamble for fun, but even if they're gambling for profit, they should set a budget and prioritize their mental health. This way, they won't get messed up when they're on a losing streak.

We also need to remember that the chances of hitting the jackpot are extremely low - about 1% out of 100% yearly. Casinos are built to make a profit, and the odds are stacked against players. Instead of chasing the jackpot, it's better to focus on smaller wins and enjoy the game.

Emphasis on having a stable source of income, whether online or offline, and to gamble responsibly. This means not putting all your hopes into gambling and maintaining a balanced mindset.

[Marykeller]

Those who have the belief that I must make it in gambling are not far from being the people that Davidvictorson mentioned.

-low income earners
- low level of education high school and below
- single people
- rural dwellers
- males
- unemployed

These set of individuals quoted above are prone to adopting the mindset of "I must make it in gambling" because they believe that consistent gambling will lead to riches. However, when the reality sets in that gambling is not a viable path to wealth, they often become frustrated. This frustration can lead to them creating problems for their immediate families, and on top of that, they sell their properties to meet up with their gambling belief as their expectations of making money through gambling will someday materialize as they had hoped. They are not given up yet after the whole money spent on gambling

Experience is the best teacher so I think it's best to allow people with such mentality learn from their experience, I've tried to advice a gambler sometime ago, I was very politely while discussing with him but he made me feel my advise is not very relevant and I was blocking his success, what I'm trying to say is that sometimes it's difficult to advise people with such mentality it might even lead to a serious argument when you try to convince them concerning it, therfore the best approach I take when I try to advise people like that and they refuse to listen is allow them make mistake and learn from it cause by then they'll learn the hard way after losing lots of money. I've also come to understand that it's the poor people that mostly have such mindset, people that's been frustrated financially and lost all hope of becoming rich, they're the ones that channel all their energy and little income they earn from petty jobs into gambling, someone that's already wealthy won't make such speech but would rather invest their funds into less riskier and profitable investments other than gambling, they'll only gamble with what they can afford to lose for the fun of it or entertainment.

[DaNNy001]

Many people get frustrated with this lifestyle after a while because they try to make it a source of income or try to become financially stable from it, this isn't possible to achieve and it hasn't been done by anybody... Having the mindset that you must make it through gambling could actually make you lose a lot of money, remember that it's a 50/50 thing, you can either win or lose so instead of trying so hard to look for ways to constantly be in profit from something you already know is a losing game just channel all of that energy into something more productive.

[Hispo]

I had to add the quotation because it's not my statement.

It's so delusional to have this kind of believe but yeah, there are gamblers who are thinking in such way. I stumbled unto the X page of a gambler last night, he happens to be sharing only game prediction on his page and has a lot of followers and usually have a lot of comments on his predictions, so while I was going through the comments of users on one of his prediction, I saw comments like;

"Whether the devil likes it or not, this money must be made through gambling. "

"One sure odd is enough to give me a heavy cash out"

"I must make it through gambling"

"I will never give up. "

" We lose to win more"

Bla bla bla, I can not over emphasize on the delusional comments I saw, I just can not track the guy's page again but if I come across it, I will share it here.

Can you guys believe that there are people (gamblers) thinking these way?

One takes for granted there are delusional gamblers out there who believe anything in order for them to continue to hold onto the hope of changing their life style because of a punch of good luck. I mean ... I have already seen people being delusional on topics like politics and videogames, those topics in which there is no actually money being put at stake whatsoever, so it is not a surprise to me there is an important percentage of people who see gambling as their exit door to  whatever situation they are going through. It is pretty sad, but it is a reality we must face as a community.
As for myself, I have never been deluded into thinking there is an inevitable win waiting for me at the end of the session, so I can make a lot of money back thanks to my own good luck, I have tried to see gambling and the possible earnings which come from with with a focused mindset and not to count on money I have to gamble to do other things.
One can only hope those delusional people find the help they need, so eventually they recover from addiction and loss chasing.

[Odusko]

Can you guys believe that there are people (gamblers) thinking these way?

Yes, people belive in that way especially those that are addicted to gambling. Those that every moment of their life is on how to play a game, sacrifice from their money and put into gambling and hope to win big one day and eradicate poverty in their life. Many gamblers do think that way and I’m not surprised they do.

If you see a gambler with such mindset, will you advise the person or just allow the person to learn their lesson?

Advising people this days is like wasting of time, they’ll still go ahead to do what they like. The best lessons are learnt after failure or been struck with something unexpectedly bad, it’s better they learn it themselves than preaching to them against it.

Have you had this kind of believe before now, probably when you newly started gamby?

I can’t think of such for now, but as long as I have total control of my finance. Don’t go against my risk management, I won’t have issues with why I think of gambling now or even in the future.
