Don't Gamble when you are Broke

[Peanutswar]

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

Many player thinks that the gambling is the key for their access because of the high risk-reward ratio on this but the reality is only small portion of the players wins against the casino and few of them are getting home with nothing, if you want to win with your wages better to seek a game where you good at could be table top games and sports betting which requires skills and knowledge on the game id not recommend with the slot games because you only have small percentage of winnings right there but could have a chance to win huge amount but if you want to have a slow phase with assured gains id recommend the mentioned game.

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.

Players who are malcontent with their financial status tend to forge on with gambling on an empty pocket. Regrets follows immediately after losing the little amount left on them, and they fall into a broader version of brokenness. However, it's personal choice, but the actions isn't theirs anymore, most of the players who behave in this manner aren't in control. Because as undeniable as it is that winning can't be guaranteed, gamers should know this and abstain from careless gambling due to the repercussions of losing greatly and endergering one's happiness.

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?

Well the truth is that it's something very unpleasant that you went through my friend, but I hope that you have learned many things, sometimes by suffering you learn and you value many things, however I think that one of the biggest mistakes that you made was spending money to gamble, that is something that should never be thought or done, of course we have the right to make mistakes, but we also have the right to be people who reconsider and learn and that we can pass that learning on to others so that they do not fall into the same mistakes.

People often enter gambling when they are financially broke. At that time, they think that gambling is an easy way to recover quickly. Basically, people start gambling at that time to test their luck. And the results are never good for them. At that time, they end up in a worse position than they were in a position to survive. Because they lose their last bit in gambling. Gambling should be played only when you are financially strong and at that time you only go there to have fun in exchange for money. Gambling is not a means of earning money, it is just a means of keeping yourself entertained, and to keep yourself entertained you have to spend money there.

When you are broke, what you should do is to go look for a job and get one that pays you some decent amount of money. You must not get a job that pays you exactly the amount that you are looking for but any that can give you something that will help you out without you being at a lost after all your expenses for the job. For example, after your transportation, feeding and other expenses, you should still have some remaining money to do other things. Get that kind of job and then any extra money you can save on the side should be used for investing before pleasure. Gambling is not a source of income therefore that is not what you are supposed to be relying on to get you money. Gambling is going to make you more broke if all you do is to try to make money from gambling.

True talk the time of being broke should be a time of sober reflection and thinking where people should use it and make sure that they look for a productive idea that can give that when executed will bring money on the table and not to gamble which will lead to more financial crisis  so gambling during financial challenges should not be encouraged.



Looking for work do do is the best option for anyone who is financially unstable because work guarantees income at the end of the day but gambling will only take away more money from you , gambling when one is broke is not a good thing because that shows that the person is not in control of his or her  self

However, people just learn from their mistakes after getting in trouble. That is why I don't stop people from doing this because I want them to realize their wrongdoing and make it a reason for them to be more responsible in their actions in the future.

We are talking about alledgedly responsible adults after all, arent we?. Besides, it has become very common for people to believe gambling could be their solution economically not to take the advise of others about how much they are supposed to gamble or even if they should quit gamble completely, they get very stubborn when comes to what other tell them what to do with their money. That is why I agree with you in allowing them to learn from their own experiences and then realize how things actually work within the world of gambling and even betting.
In the best case scenario they will see there are more secure and relational ways to recover from their bad situation than just opting for their luck...

the first step to change a bad behavior is identifying it
if a person don't even realize that their gambling habits are a problem how can we expect them to change it
changing is hard, it requires reflection, inner work
unfortunately some won't be able to do it

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.

I have already focused on how I can protect myself from such a problem in the future. I try to control my emotions. I have discipline in my life and affairs. I stick to the course that I consider best not only for myself, but also for my family.

Still, I still can't shake the feeling that I could have done something like that at one time, without thinking about the consequences. I still feel guilty and understand everything that I have done to those close to me.

If they are broke, where are they getting the money to gamble with?

It is either a loan or stolen money. Which is a bad thing in the first place. Even then assuming it is their last few pennies the best bailout option is to get a loan to cover their monthly expenses and work to earn and clear the debt, not gambling.

The problem is that it seems in the mind of the lost gambler that the method to make money is right in front of them, the next bet is the winning bet and so on.

it doesn't have to be a loan or stolen money, could be just part of their paycheck
there are many people who are broke living paycheck to paycheck and you'd be surprised that these are not only the real poor but people living fancy lifestyles too
at the end of the day being rich is more about how much you save than about how much you spend

People should gamble with their extra money and not when they are broke, that is right but not for all the people.
There are some who still try thei luck with their last money hoping to get in the situation where they can earn big time with gambling.
That is not addiction but a hope they are holding to get out of the problem.

there is no 100% , they can be lucky sometimes and be unlucky most of the time.

I totally agree with this, gambling with an amount of money that's important to you makes you feel anxious and worried about losing, this is why it's better to gamble with the extra money you have. I don't know why winning most times comes from the extra money we stake with, my idea on this is that we are more at peace when we stake with such money so we are more relaxed and rational about our selections.

You may likely be right, so I agree, but on the other hand, and also if we are to be more realistic to truthful to ourselves, it's not only extra money that people gamble and win with, some people still gamble with important money and end up winning, same way most people still also gamble with extra money and end up losing.

Gambling doesn't know or when we are gambling with extra money or important money, or should I say luck rather, since it's luck that determines when and whether or not we win or loose.

So the nutshell is, who ever will win will win, and who ever will lose will lose, this has little to nothing to do with what type of money we are gambling with.

Yes, it's the same as you making gambling a solution to overcome financial problems while from the start it is clear that there is no guarantee and certainty that gambling will always be able to give us profit at the end of the game, meaning that defeat will always be a possibility involved at the end of the game and another fact is that from the start gambling was created by bookies to seek profit from gamblers who lose, so how can we possibly seek victory to overcome financial problems while from the start the bookies make you gamblers as targets to be defeated so that they can get profit according to what they have planned from the start, and that is the reason why many of us suggest only making gambling a place to seek pleasure or entertainment.

There's two different feelings between gambling with money that you can afford to lose and money which you can't afford to lose. Gambling with what you can afford, you will be too anxious about the risk because you can afford the money. But in a situation whereby you want to take the risk and stake with what you can't afford your kind won't be at peace until the results come and most times it doesn't end in your favor

Though, have you always wondered why itis so coming to find casinos and betting houses in socially and economically impoverished zones of developing countries? If that you said was followed by people who know they need to save money and find reliable ways to improve their life, then we would not see some much gambling going on in countries like Nigeria, Venezuela, Colombia or even Bangladesh or Pakistan...
The sad reality is, many people do not seek gambling as entertainment it rather as an opportunity to escape their economical problems or even social problems, do they fully deposit their faith on their own luck and randomness, which is the wrong path to follow in the majority of occasions.
I have myself talked to people who were poor back some years ago and they were always trying to score a good amount of money through betting and gambling, so they could turn a meal into ten meals... quite disheartening.

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?

Gambling is often similar self medication as anything else. When dopamine needs to come from something, people who are down or depressed usually get it from a place they can get it fastest. Gambling is definitely one source for it. And one could argue it might be better way to deal with depression then other quick dopamine sources that destroy health as well.

It won't cure anything obviously, and anyone doing that would be better off learning better ways, but it's totally understandable to want to feel something.

In unlikely situation where someone wins a jackpot from gambling, they could even have better change dealing with their mental health. But that would require changes to healthier "self medication" as well.

Poverty can drive someone to act beyond their limits, by gambling, they hope that luck will come and change their fate in a short time. Such thinking cannot be blamed, as it is driven by underlying needs, and casinos see this social symptom as a very promising business opportunity. People from such backgrounds will not care about gambling advice, because what they want is to change their destiny.

For rich people, gambling is a means to seek pleasure, spend free time after work and so on. In other words, rich people can enjoy gambling without having to risk their last money. Sometimes circumstances are indeed difficult to change, it is natural to be disappointed when see poor people gambling, because it is the wrong choice regardless of the luck they might get.

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.

Most people have the interest to go in gambling if they want to recover their money. They thought that they can easily recover in gambling, however, usually it is the opposite that they will get as the outcome. Hence, this will give him more suffering rather than recovering those losses. And if the gambler is not ready for such losses, he will surely go deep in looking for ways how to recover those losses and that's the dilemma of most gamblers.

All you said it correct, but unfortunately, most or many gamblers do not understand this and it's the reason why we still see people who tag themselves as professional gamblers, one begins to wonder how is it possible they are making money from gambling to take it up as a profession..

I understand that when it comes to sports betting, some people are so knowledgeable in it that they can't bet 5 games without winning one or two, many this are the type of gamblers who refer to their self as professionals, but then, one thing I've come to believe is that all gambler lose at the end, maybe not all actually but most, most gamblers lose, and this is how casinos are designed.

Some few gambler's or do I call the punters package themselves as professional gamblers deceiving themselves and everyone that agrees with that line of thoughts, just as those that call themselves as professional cryptocurrency traders, whereas there is nothing like that in gambling and crypto trading since both activities out comes and results are unpredictable and for that it stand's as game won based on luck, what then is the professional aspect in that since one can not predict its outcome in most cases.
