Anyone here brave enough to borrow money for gambling to fulfill their dreams?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

TBH, asking for a loan just to have funds to gamble is a no-no already, but there are some gamblers especially those addicted ones that are still doing because... because they believe that they can recover their losses, or they can make huge money in gambling. I agree with what you said that before taking a loan, make sure that you have funds to use to pay that loan on a monthly basis at least.

What if you are tempted to take just a small amount of loan, let's say you wanted to bet on a well analyzed prediction but you discover that you are short of cash and maybe you just needed like $20 to stake on that game, would you take such small amount as loan? Well, after reading some comments here, I just thought to myself, what if the loan we are taking if just a small amount like $5 to $20? Although some persons would not still take but in my opinion, it's more manageable to handle small loan than big amount.

I am just having this thought: if we truly trust our gambling skills, then just like starting a business, we take risks because we believe we’ll succeed in the future. So, what if we’ve proven our strategy works, but we’re only betting small amounts and missing out on bigger opportunities? We might consider borrowing money to fast-track our success. Has anyone ever done that?

Taking loans from external individuals to gamble with is not my thing and I can never borrow to gamble with, the reason is that I am financially stable enough to at least fund my gambling habits and if u can remember any time at all that I took such step as taking money meant for another thing to gamble with, is only when I have the clear picture of the game and the club playing them, and I have the assurance of winning, why not I have borrowed my rent to gamble before, and the outcome was amazing since I was lucky to have won the bet that day.

It depends on people intension on gambling, theirs some people who lend cash to partake on gambling, but from my own Theory I condemn such act, because gambling is unpredictable, its clear that no one is assured of winning in the gambling, so I will overcome such temptation and ensure that I partake in gambling with my own cash so that any loss that I experienced on it I will bear it without being worried

Borrowing money to gamble seems like pretty self destructive behavior. Financially it is a bad idea and even if you win it is just teaching you poor risk reward skills. I think entertainment is better served as a reward for a job well done then something you go into debt to get. If you don’t have money to lose, don’t borrow it to lose it.

I like that last statement; it's not even about having money to risk but about having the mindset that any money wagered should already be considered as money lost.
 
Overconfidence is what's misleading most gamblers up to the extent of borrowing to gamble based on the expected result. If it works, one's luck and coincidence one day, the habit will definitely grow to the extent of keeping the person in debt they can't pay off.

Hard to have an assurance in gambling, even if we say we have strategy that we feel is really working. This is gambling and mostly, it is based on luck. We may find a strategy but it won't work all the time. Don't take your chances here as you may likely end up losing and not paying your loan.

Borrowing money to gamble is simply unacceptable, and this is because gambling is not a source of profits but of entertainment, so there is no justification at all to borrow any sum no matter how small it could be, since once you take that step then you will be tempted to do it again and again, which could lead you to a massive debt you may be unable to pay, and all of this over an activity that is not really necessary on our lives.

Most gamblers are having financial issues when they start to borrow just to cater their gambling desires. Because if they will just stick to what they have and stop once their funds are depleted, they won't have a problem or they won't have debt from other people. It can easily pile up if you will lose the game one after another as the tendency to borrow is there as you want to recover losses.

Borrowing money to fuel one's gambling urge just because of the confidence the person has in his/her strategy for the game is a totally naive belief because there's no strategy in gambling that's 100% profitable. After all, the game is always programmed to favor the house. Unless the gambler has an insider who helps to somehow cheat the game, but all this doesn't last forever.

Second, borrowing money to fuel a gambling urge is the beginning of gambling addiction.

[Forsyth Jones]

I wouldn't dare, because what are the chances of this going wrong? They're greater than the chances of it going right. Don't borrow money at interest, especially for betting.

Betting, whether it's on sports or based on chance, is there to distract us, keep us entertained, feel a certain adrenaline and excitement and show off our victories to our friends around us.

I confess that I've had this thought before, but to leverage bitcoin and other crypto, but what if it goes wrong, what are the chances of me closing at a loss because I'm bothered by the losses?

Well, in my opinion, it is clear that gambling is indeed unpredictable, especially about winning, so there should not be excessive behavior in gambling, because in my opinion, the behavior of borrowing money to gamble is one of the excessive behaviors in gambling and maybe it can be said that only stupid people do things like that. Because I think those who do this usually think that they will be lucky in the next gamble, and continue to think like this even though they have lost. Basically, we must be able to allocate money that we can afford to lose when this is done, then there will be no thought of borrowing to gamble, unfortunately, something like this is difficult to do.

From the beginning it is clear that gambling is an activity that can never be predicted at any time and no matter how hard you try to find a way to win in the end it is still only luck that will help you win especially when you are involved in a type of casino game and I think that is something natural for an activity that runs based on probability. On the other hand, I also agree with your opinion that borrowing money to gamble is an excessive act and I am sure that most gamblers who do that are usually people who prioritize winning, because borrowing money is a situation where someone forces a situation to realize their desires but of course it is a very wrong action because as you said that we will never know whether we will win or lose, so in my opinion borrowing money just to gamble is the same as you adding another problem, and as proof we can see that quite a lot of gamblers end up with debt problems.

You are really that indeed digging with your own grave on which at the moment or time that you do get up some loan on the time or moment you do play gambling then you are that on high chance that you will be having that very huge problem when it comes to financial problem on which this will really be that basically be having that tendency or chance that you could be ending up on depression on which it might lead to suicide or any other actions on which you didnt expect that you will be able to experience into your life. People dont really mind that much not until into the time or moment that they are on such hard situation. We do know that every decisions that we are taking and on the  time or moment that we did make out the bad option then this will lead into huge problem.

Are you brave enough? Only those people who do make themselves that being careless or being delusional are the time that they will really be having that kind of decisions when it comes on taking up some loan at the time or moment that they do gamble. You will be definitely be ending up on a disaster if you wont be that careful then you will be that having that regret for the rest of your life. Its always be that important that you should be sensible into the actions that you are making because you are the ones who will be leading up yourself into possible outcome.

I also adhere to the same principle. If I already have little money that I can lose, then why take more? Then I will drive myself into even greater losses. This is not my strategy. Those who poorly plan their gaming budget and are too self-confident that they will definitely be able to win fall into this trap. In this case, I would rather skip the game than play in debt.

[bubilas]

I think that the author of the post chose the wrong words, because you don't need to be brave, you need to be crazy. Look at the threads, a guy created a topic where he begs to forgive him half of his debt at the Steak casino. And all because he was playing on credit. Is this a normal outcome for a sane person? No.
Now they will most likely take away the little that he has. Although I am sure he does not have property for this amount. Therefore, playing at a casino with borrowed money is the most idiotic act that a gambler can commit.

That is right because that means we will risk more money which we don't know if we can win or lose. If we lose, that will makes us to lose that money and difficult to get it back. We must realize that we must have a plan in gambling especially the fund that we will use to playing gambling. We can not be like other people who can playing gambling with a big money because there is a differences between us. It is better we use our money than play in debt because we will hard to repay the debt.

No matter how small it is, in my opinion, it cannot be justified because gambling should indeed be a place where we do not have previous problems with finances, such as lack of money, yes if we do not have money it is better not at all than forcing ourselves to play then relying on loans as an injection of capital for gambling, it is not a wise decision and not good behavior for the future, because it is quite dangerous as well as a bad habit.

Small loans can bring bad habits if we normalize it, we will be more willing to borrow for the next time and maybe make us dare to borrow much bigger than before if the previous borrowed money can get a win in gambling, and therein lies the confidence that can plunge yourself.

[Zackz5000]

For me I can't do such because borrowing money to gamble is never bravery to me it is foolishness since gambling doesn't ensure winning it will be better to borrow to Start up a business instead of gambling you can actually use the money within you to gamble or Money you won't necessarily need at the moment instead of borrowing because there will be more pressure attached if properly you end up not winning it may lead in selling of property in other to pay back the initial amount borrowed including the interest, we shouldn't make gambling as a source of income there are other Better steps to take if you actually want to fulfill your dreams and certainly not borrowing to gamble.

The issue is about different people approaching gambling with different mindset, there are those that believe certain predictions can be completely rely on for a positive outcome whereas there is no level of predictions or analysis irrespective of sources of information that worth to be rely on, and this how gambling should be approached, it is not bravery neither is it smartness for any to borrow money, sell properties to gamble. However gambling gives no assurance of potential winning hence the reason why it shouldn't be taken too serious but to be seen as just a game for entertainment.

Seriously? I remember seeing a similar topic, but I read it in passing and went to do something else, but how crazy! Betting on credit at the casino can be interesting if you are sure that you will be able to pay, just like you do with credit card purchases for other things.

However, betting on credit and losing control, much worse than that, without thinking about the consequences and accumulating a debt that will cause you headaches is a case of addiction that must be treated.

I understand your disposition, the money means nothing to you, right? For me, gambling isn't worth it even if the money is less than $0.01, let's be honourable. It starts like that before it becomes a problem for some gamblers, and before you know it, small money borrowed many times could have subjected some gamblers to debt and financial ruin.

Besides that, a reasonable person will only gamble with the money at hand and not borrow it because it is not worth it. Imagine what $20 can do for you with a guarantee and beneficially compared to how you will feel when you lose the borrowed money and later think you could have used it for a better purpose.

It’s really complete foolishness. In addition to what you mentioned which is totally correct, I think the loan interest is the main factor which gambler should consider when taking loan to fuel gambling since they lose already the moment they borrow the money while the casino games itself offer a house edge on all of their games which means losing is inevitable in the long run unless you are very lucky enough to beat the odds.

Maybe borrowing small amount that you can pay easily might be acceptable but loaning a money equivalent for investment or business is a completely dumbness rather than bravery.

Exactly what you described above, borrowing money to gamble again not only involves the risk of losing your money again, but can also cause new problems or emotional stress and your financial capacity will become bigger or swell if you experience another loss.

Yes, we should not look for sources of income there, if we want to gamble, we should just have fun playing the game and we must be prepared to lose the money we play. To achieve the goals we want, for example improving our finances, there are actually many ways for us to achieve it, you should collect money first and then when you have collected it you can start a business or look for business opportunities that you are good at, this is much better than gambling.
