Is gambling inspiring people to work harder?

[Asiska02]

So how do you see this kind of lifestyle? Do you judge them as wrong because their reason is gambling, or do you respect it since everyone has their own way of finding happiness?

I feel it is some kind of addictive compulsion that is making them to want to work harder. They are not really to be called addicted gambler that don’t apply proper risk management to some extent, but satisfying their urge even when they don’t win or stand a chance to win is something they feel happy with, so they work harder in order to meet up their gambling target to gamble. Some may have other reasons why they doubles their hustle and work harder, but since gambling is part of what the budget will cover, they’ll still show up at the gambling site when the money is received. Happiness is not always free, but you shouldn’t risk too much in order to get them.

Just want to share something I’ve observed in our community. I know a few people who are consistent gamblers, yet they also work really hard. It seems like gambling actually pushes them to hustle more, because they need money to fuel their gambling activities.

In their case, they’ve been gambling for years, but they’re still responsible with work, so I don’t see it as pure irresponsibility. Their motivation might be different, but they’re still putting in the effort, even if the end goal is just to fund their gambling.

So how do you see this kind of lifestyle? Do you judge them as wrong because their reason is gambling, or do you respect it since everyone has their own way of finding happiness?

Maybe they gamble to have a pastime and they're not hardcore as they are. Like the people who looks for something to get busied with or relieve their stress.
These hard working people is what they've found themselves doing to have fun. But we don't have to hide it all that they're only up for fun but, they're also doing it in hopes to have some money.
As they work hard, they have some dreams that they want to achieve too. And maybe that's what they see themselves doing and so they continue to gamble but they're still responsible.

i cant judge them wrong since they find happiness in what they are doing. after all if they can be working hard and gambling at the same time without getting addicted then there is no big deal. the lifestyle is just a responsible lifestyle if you ask me, it would have been a wrong lifestyle if they are gambling addict who work hard to fuel their gambling losses.

You are the one making their whole life about gambling. An adult have enough reasons than gambling to work harder. They have ambitions, mouths to feed, legacy to create, families to build. Gambling may just be a fraction of their life.
It is now an addiction if you go to work harder to then use the income from the work to gamble and you should seek treatment from that.

People should not work for gambling; gambling should be the least of priorities when working. If you are like that, then you are considered addicted to gambling, and your motivation to work is to play in casinos.

We should prioritise working for our family, as it depends on us, and allocate any excess funds to other needs. If a significant percentage of your income is allocated to gambling, then you just admitted that gambling is part of your life, and you are working to sustain it.  
Put gambling into perspective; you are foremost a husband and a father, and your inspiration should be for your family.

I completely agree with your statement, gambling should never be a top priority in life, and it shouldn't be used as an inspiration to work harder than usual. Many people would agree that family and loved ones are a source of inspiration to work harder, and everyone is responsible for keeping them happy. Spending some of your income on them is better than gambling, because gambling doesn't always guarantee success.

I think it's okay if a small portion of your income is spent on gambling, just for entertainment in your spare time, and that's the right way to gamble. Of course, people who work hard just to be able to deposit more frequently are those who are addicted, even if they never realize it. This is despite their personal ambition to win big and instantly change their circumstances.

If your motivation to work harder is so you can raise money to gamble, then you are not different from those who borrow or sell their properties just to raise money to gamble.  That's a pure act of irresponsibility which if not stopped on time, you would just be working hard in vain whole enriching the casinos with your hard earned morning. It's more like you are working hard for the casinos and not for yourself

Gamblers should know when to draw the line. If I don't have money to gamble, I won't feel restless. I can go days and weeks without gambling.  I get motivated to work hard by alot of things, gambling is not one of such things.

[Odusko]

I dont see anything wrong in someone working so hard and also gambling, what i have agreed with is that, no matter what your life style, as long as you handle your bills and never put too pressures on anyone, is ok to gamble as long as they want, being able to combine gambling and their work is something that we need to commend him on.

Gambling is only net-negative if you lose sight of the vision and why you got into it in the first place by getting addicted to the fun side of it. As long as you're sane and go about gambling activities with objectives rather than addiction then,  I have no issues with it. As a matter of fact, I would even advocate for betting more. So yes, I respect such lifestyle because it's the kind of lifestyle I can live myself.

I agree, I can't call what the OP describe as a positive mentality or gambling practice. Working harder because your ulterior goal is to acquire more money to fuel your gambling habbits sounds like an addiction to me. It doesn't make much sense, word harder, earn more and spend it on gambling, what's the outcome of this? Zero, you'll simply end up with no money, by working longer hours. From my perspective, the OP is trying to make this behaviour sound more positive than it actually is.

Everyone is subject to their own choices, but this attitude can't be called healthy no matter how you look at it.

It's not that it seems untrue, it's just that you can probably count on one hand the number of people who fully understand the responsibility for their deposit and continue to play while being fully aware of everything. You mentioned that people work hard and have dreams, but gambling, which could theoretically help them fulfill their dreams through big wins, is a hindrance because it raises false hopes about these games.

First, if they are a family person we should look whether their family is not neglected.  They are able to support their family and increase the way of their living due to their hardwork.

It is a good thing that people are working hard but the thing is whether the majority of their hard-earned money goes to the needs of te famliy or the gambling platform that they are hooked for years?

I respect people's choice of entertaining themselves if it is not affecting other people negatively.  If a person works hard for their gambling vices only, then I see this as a waste of resources but I don't condemn people since they work hard in the right way just to meet their entertainment needs.  This will become a distressing thought to me if a person works hard for their gambling activities and neglects their family.

Just like I stated, it is ok to work hard for gambling vices as long as the gambler prioritizes his family's needs.

It is like you are working hard for nothing because we all know that after your gambling session, the more likely that will happen is that you will lose your bankroll. So I don't think it is smart to do follow such route. Need to assess yourself if you want such kind of life, stressing so much yourself from work just to lose it at the end of the week. Just think of this - you are wasting your energy and resources for something not very rewarding. So take a pause and assess this scenario. It is not a positive mentality per se but you are feeding your obsession with gambling. Instead, better look for tangible assets that you can save for, so you are not that broke even if you continue to gamble.

Working harder to meet your gambling activities is not a bad ideas as long as your income can cover all your monthly expenses . If you want to be a successful and responsible gambler you must have an income that will assist you gambling, that is why it is so annoying when I see some jobless gambler gambling because they kept on borrowing to gamble hoping that they will win any soon to cover their joblessness but they end up putting themselves into a very tight financial situation instead of going out to work, the now see gambling as a job instead of an entertainment that it is meant for, if you don't work then how do you cope and manage your life expenses let alone gambling.

It will be very hard for me to see a person who gambles working really hard and then believe that their or he's or her reason for working so hard is because he needs the money to fuel his or her gambling activities, that would honestly be a lame way to think if you ask me..

A man has lots of need which above all is to stay alive and healthy first, for it the person who is alive and healthy that can participate in other activities, and to stay alive and healthy, one has to be able to afford to eat good food, and if you live in the same country as mine now, you would understand well that good food is very expensive.

So, if the person isn't a gambling addict, I would believe their reason for working that hard is basically for some other important things, gambling is just simply an extra..
But if the person is an addicted gambler, then maybe you are right and indeed, the reason for their working so hard is to fuel their gambling activities.

[NewRanger]

In reality, yes. Most especially if you find gambling not just a source of leisure but more likely a source of income where you can double or triple it, then the more that you will thrive hard so you can continue your passion with gambling. And that’s the reality in life, if you want it and live for it, then work on it first and eventually enjoy the outcome.

However, there’s always limitations when gambling. Don’t use all your hard-earned money and spend it all into gambling, there’s always a caution on it. Gamble on your spare money, and be disciplined enough to stick to your gambling budget.

Just like many traders, we often see people willing to go all-in if they have more funds to multiply, especially if they have additional profits from previous choices. At the table, the pull of desire is quite large, and this is what often traps players into gambling.

I agree that this desire should be tempered once profits are made so they can be used wisely and their hobby of playing continues, so they don't hit a dead end and have to find additional funds by borrowing or selling something important and valuable that they can use at any time.

So how do you see this kind of lifestyle? Do you judge them as wrong because their reason is gambling, or do you respect it since everyone has their own way of finding happiness?

As you've said everyone has their own way of happiness so we are not in the place to judge them if they work hard then at the same time fuel their gambling activities.

Motivation to do something that makes us happy keeps us doing our work and without it our life would just be like a robot that we are just waking up everyday to pay bills and survive.

Some how gambling can motivate or increase someone's hustling ability in other to be consistent or steady on their gambling activities especially when that person has become more addicted and committed to it, but I still can't place my head over it how someone will be hustling day and night all because he's trying to meet up in his so call gambling activities, that sounds crazy and seems more of slaving to me, because something that you have no guarantee of winning, sometimes that is practically based on luck.

However, all these are evidence of addictions in gambling , and if you are still finding it funny instead of looking for a actual way of dealing with it then you should be ready because the end could be lasting frustration and poverty.

[passwordnow]

I do not see it that way. It's a way to fit their lifestyle and so they work hard. But if these individuals are inspired to work harder so that they have more to gamble, it's a different position that we can think of and they're likely addicted to it. Although based on the looks that they have, they are not and they are not affected with gambling as they work and that's some real professional ethics we've got there. And if they get emotional, that's the start of the problem and that's what they are trying to avoid so that they won't be addicted to it. Because once that they become, their work is also affected.

[traderethereum]

Maybe they really know how to treat gambling as they want. We can not judge or blame them for what is wrong because we don't know how they treat gambling. Maybe they can use gambling better than us so they are still okay till now.

We can not follow them if we don't know anything. That will give us risks that we don't know how to solve if that happens to us. We can let their motivation be like that while we also need to be careful with ourselves in gambling.

I respect it since everyone has their own way of treating gambling. We just hope that we will not become addicted to gambling.

For me I don't judge people, maybe before when I was younger, but when I mature and learn the hardship in life, I tend not to judge every people around. Maybe you just walk and cross path with someone that have a lot of problems in life and didn't know them. Maybe people have other things to do besides their gambling. So I don't mind other's business because I don't know where they are coming from. Just like the gamblers, maybe your neighbors are, but still, they are still surviving, paying the rest, brought their kids to a good school. In the outside it looks normal, so it's good enough to know that. They could really be working hard for all we know. Hard really to be judgemental in life, you just have to be neutral so that other people will not judge you as well.
