Don't Gamble when you are Broke

[Oluwa-btc]

Most times people gamble when they are broke thinking and believing that they will make money but ends up losing even the remaining small money that is in their hand , gambling when you are broke is one of the worst things that anyone can do because when anyone is broke there are alot of things that are going on in the mind of such a person and for gambler's the huge to gambling will come on propelling then to gamble that they will bounce back, this is what many gambler's has experienced so we should try as much as possible not to gamble while we are broke as it will lead to more worries and regrets

Gambling when broke just seems like not watering a flower and what happens to it, it dies off gradually. So when you are broke gambling shouldn't come to your mind as you won't get results, rather gambling at that point will only keep you in debt and as well addiction. Sometimes I wonder what gives some people the mind to gamble even in a state of brokeness though for done person's luck may find them but in most cases it's better off to stay clear from gambling when broke.

I have seen something like this happen to people that I know before, whenever they are having little amount left with them, they believe if they can gamble with the little amount, then they believe they will be able to increase the money, but what I notice from gambling is that if you are in need of money, and you decide to gamble, then you are going to lose your bet.

Gambling with the mindset of increasing your money is really a bad thing, have seen some student gamble with their school fess so that if they win, they will be able to pay their school fees and still have some extra cash with them, but most people that try it do end up losing, things like this don’t end well. If you are gambling, then you shouldn’t always have confidence that you will be winning, so don’t gamble with the money that is suppose to be used for other important activities, gambling should be don for fun, and you are suppose to gamble with any amount you know it’s not going to affect you if you lose.

Broke people gamble because they think they could make money out of gambling same as all other gamblers who wants to make money. If they got success, its good but most they fail. The ones that gamble even with so much money even lost them all.

The pressure in making money seem to be pushing people to gamble, I have seen this happen in the neighborhood where people are just not looking for a job instead but gamble.

The worst idea anyone can ever have is trying to make money off gambling... it's crazy that some people put their hopes in gambling to get the money that would make them financially stable..like you said the pressure to make money pushes people to gamble more, we now live in a society where money is valued more than anything, people are becoming very desperate to get it...this is now something that fuels gambling addiction

There’s truth in your take. But some gamble to win. Others gamble to feel. You can’t detach emotion because, for many, it’s the core variable. Risk isn’t just math or impulse. It’s pain-avoidance disguised as thrill-seeking. And broke people gambling? Often they’re desperate. One more spin is the illusion of choice in a rigged emotional economy.

Yeah, affordability matters. But without emotional education or systemic healing, “affordable loss” becomes a moving target. Ask not just what they gamble. Ask why that moment felt safer than silence.

What do they gamble on? You can go to the bank and get a loan if you don't have any personal money. That's exactly what I did many years ago when I was heavily addicted to gambling. I always wanted to be in the game. Oh, how much money I lost then. I could have bought a decent car with it, but my greed and addiction didn't let me do it. How many emotions were wasted in vain? And why? I still ask myself this question. What did all this give me, except pain and suffering?

The bad experience you had can be an important lesson for others because when addiction takes hold, it will make someone lose control in gambling. Worse still, taking a loan from the bank to start betting which is caused by addiction so that instead of solving the problem, it adds new problems to our lives. Luckily you were able to get out of that addiction because I'm sure if you start having difficulty controlling yourself, the problem will be much bigger.

The pain and suffering you feel should be an example for others so that anyone can control themselves better when gambling, especially if the case involves taking loans from any party to continuously engage in endless betting.

Differentiate between wants and needs. Gambling is about fun, so in other words gambling is a desire not a need. And as a wise person, you should prioritize needs over desires, especially when your financial condition is not supportive.

When your financial condition is really bad and you are going bankrupt, then you must be better able to manage the remaining money, don't let yourself starve because all the money you have is used up for gambling.

I think it comes with self-discipline; if you gamble and are broke, that's just stupidity, in my opinion, and you have a problem because you cannot control yourself knowing that you are broke but still gambling.

If you are broke, there are better things to do than gambling, and if you cannot understand that, then you know why you are broke.

No broke man is happy with the way they are, this means that they're going through mental and emotional stress. Like you said it's stupidity to gamble if you are broke because it makes no sense to gamble with the little you when you barely feed well. Gambling when your mental health is down is a big risk. This will propel you to gamble.if you are broke get a job and stop relying on gambling.

That is exactly why they gamble. They can't afford to eat, they are hungry and so they turn desperate to the point that they will take any risk if it meant a chance to have money. Gambling is their lifeline in a way.

Gambling when your mental health is down is a big risk. This will propel you to gamble.if you are broke get a job and stop relying on gambling.

Yeah if your mental health was not good from the start, do not expect gambling to cure it. I am curious if the opposite had happened. Has someone gotten better mental health after gambling?

Until now, many gamblers still do that. Because as you said, they think they can still get back what they lost in gambling. But the truth is,
I have not seen anyone who has gotten back what they lost in gambling.

Instead, the amount they lost increased, they no longer think about it or notice it in themselves, the more they sink, that's what they don't see, but they remain positive in their thoughts,
so it's not good to be an overly positive thinker if it's not at the right time.

The thing is that I didn't just cause pain and suffering to myself. My family felt it too. The family was already short on money, and I also managed to take out a large loan that was too much to pay off. I had to pay it off for several years, and each payment became difficult. This seriously undermined the family budget. This money could have been used usefully, but no... What a fool I was to take such a step. I still regret it, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Yes, you're right. This is the lesson I've learned for life and I will always remember it, so that in the future I won't be able to get into such a hole again, from which it's very difficult to get out.

Well, the good thing is that you were able to recover and come out of it. As I usually say, the problem with gambling is that it can make you lose a lot of money very quickly, and in cases like yours you will be paying the consequences for years.

Rather than thinking about what you could have done in the past if you hadn't done what you can't change, focus on what you can do in the future.

Well done.

Good for those who do able to stop it midway because most of the time on which gamblers will be taking up such approach or actions at the moment that they have already that experienced such devastation when it comes or speaking about busting up their bankroll or even their life savings. There's no way that you should be considering gambling to be that a money making and since we are talking about being broke, then how the hell you would be considering out on doing gambling in first place if it wasnt meant for making money? Instead you would be losing up even further.

Gamble into the amount on which you can only afford to lose and never tend to go further if you do want to save up yourself on having that even more bigger problems specially that house do always win at the end on which simply implies that you do have that sure loses in the end.

If someone gambles when he is broke, that's near gambling addiction, or maybe he is.
---
With that, we won't be consumed by gambling, and it will be more joyful to play than when we are risking our last money, thinking it could double or triple in a short span of time. That's very rare to happen.

There's no "MAYBE" on it, but he really is addicted. That's all.

TBH, this is a rule of thumb already. I mean you're broke already. Why spend your remaining money on gambling? Hoping for that money to multiply? This is the problem for most of gamblers nowadays. They're gambling ALL of their money hoping that they can make more money in gambling without thinking of the possible risks that they can get. They aren't thinking on the other side of the coin, but the only thing that's on their mind is profit, profit, and profit.

Gambling addiction really is very alarming. We've seen many people's lives got ruined by it. I'm not saying that don't gamble, but as always, gamble responsibly, AND DON'T GAMBLE WHEN BROKE.

You have not seen some broke men and their mentality, definitely most of them are not happy that they don't have much money to satisfy their needs but they can be ready to sacrifice their last penny on gambling for the sake of winning more money from it. Although it's not all of them that reason like that but I have witnessed a situation where someone received money that he should have used to feed, but instead spent the money on gambling and lost it.

It's hard like that, the situation where you know you're broke and then you're still gambling on something you know the chances are high that you won't win, that kind of situation
is so hard that you or we have to rely on luck.

Maybe the only ones who do that are gamblers who have a severe addiction to playing casino gambling online platforms. Of course, because of this addiction, it's what drives them as if there's a spell that they themselves can't do anything about. So, that's not something that should be done.

That's a desperate thing to do and this can put you under a lot of anxiety and stress... it's very common that people who gamble when they are broke lose more because they do it under a lot of pressure, I'm more careful with gambling when I'm broke and this is something that makes a lot of gamblers lose... overthinking your options and being skeptical can make you hesitant thereby missing out on some opportunities.

Differentiate between wants and needs. Gambling is about fun, so in other words gambling is a desire not a need. And as a wise person, you should prioritize needs over desires, especially when your financial condition is not supportive.

Though, you need to keep something mind when you talk about wants and needs in the context of addiction to gambling and people addicting to gambling money while going through difficult economical situations.
When someone is addicted to gamble such person does not picture gambling as a "want" or something which is supposed to be done for the same of entertainment, their brain has already got accustomed to rushed of dopamine which trick them to believe they need gambling in order to have a "normal" life. So basically, gambling becomes a need for them, and that is why they continue to gamble, even though they know their economical situation gets worse and worse as time passes by.
It is important to keep that in mind, otherwise, it is easy to judge people who are addicted to gambling and tag them as irresponsible people, when in reality they are sick.

[Jody.Drummer]

A correct statement of course we should not gamble when bankrupt even the rich can go bankrupt if they gamble without being able to control themselves, even though there is a chance to win but do not expect it to happen for sure and will help make things better, gambling is not a solution when we are bankrupt because the victory is uncertain.
What is needed when we are bankrupt is a way out and the way out is with our own efforts but not by gambling, moreover there are still many other things that can be done to make money than gambling, when you have enough income and money at that time gambling is not a problem to do.

[Doan9269]

Do we really have to tell someone to gamble or not when he is broke, because his condition is enough in letting him know what is required of him to do, it is also wrong for us to have the impression of making money by gambling as we are broke, because gambling at that moment could increase and worsen the condition we had already, as we are more prone to losing the bet than winning, while knowing that we cant even afford to gamble not to talk of losing the bet, we should only gamble when we have the best capacity of doing so and never borrow to to do.

Sincerely the last thing someone shouldn't do is gambling when they are broke, it's very hard for them to reason uprightly because they may be occupied with that thinking or unstable minds whereby they wouldn't make right decisions on whom and which team is to win the match, even though they are wrong with the money pressure on them could make them picking matches they are not supposed to pick, and most times being broke make someone combine much matches, like having a long slip game instead of them going for the lower volatility games you would see them going for a higher volatile game with the hope to win a very big amount.
