Is gambling inspiring people to work harder?

[mak013]

Gambling can motivate us to an extent, but should be the most interesting inspiration that drives us towards doing something, because when we show this trait of total dependence in gambling, it means we are addicted to it and we can't achieve doing other things without the help or influence from gambling, this could also means that the only motivation we have in doing other things in life is gambling and this kind of narrative is bad.

I just loved that you mentioned the real fact that how motivation could be loot due to gambling. It is well proved that people tend to go casino whatever offline or online in order to forget their stress or boredom, not just to enjoy it. imo even after controlling financial reasons, the escape motive is tie in with the problem gambling. as soon as people take punting as their only source of excitement or avoidance they just hooked on. no matter most of the time you will find people relying just on betting as his primary motivation source, i could not call it nothing but a deadly recipe. i wanna say your improvement should be based on sustainable passions not just seeking highs.

I use slots to relax after hard day with a minimal bet. As for me - it costs the same like 1-2 beer but less destructive. But i always say that people differs and there no one recipe for all. It is possible that in some moment every day would be "hard", time in the game would increase and problem with the game would become more serious. It would be right to change ways of relax(and motivation) at least.

The possible chance of illicit acquisition of money in this narrative may be low. Provided they work and the source of income comes in, they'll be one option alone; working hard. The players who go out of their way to commit crime for gambling barely have something doing to earn money. A busy mind doesn't think of illegal actions, but like I said earlier, the chance is low, greedy gamers will always get disappointed.

This is more about each person's mindset, in my opinion, because if people work hard now but the goal is to gamble, it's really ridiculous, isn't it? Working hard in real life should be to improve our lives, such as fulfilling needs that are lacking. For people who can think wisely, they won't waste their hard work just for something uncertain, except maybe doing it occasionally and clearly the goal is really just for entertainment, not with the victory they seek to change their lives. Perhaps most unemployed people think that they can change their lives by winning at gambling.

This happens because, in my opinion, they believe that every gamble will result in a profit, so even if they have lost, as you said, once they have enough money, they will most likely return to gambling and bet their money again. The bad thing is that they may obtain that money from illicit sources.
This really comes down to self-control. If someone has good self-control, whether they are wealthy or not, they are unlikely to withdraw the profits they have already earned. The opposite is also possible.

I felt sorry to watch them lose their salary because their family would be left without money. As if people were in a fog of illusions and did not realize what was happening. How did they survive with children? That is a big question. Perhaps they borrowed money from friends and colleagues at work to somehow hold out until the next salary. How long could this go on? After all, I witnessed all of this for several years.

You can't always help someone by giving them money, it has to end after a while and this has to happen very soon, the help you can give to these people can only be therapeutic and there is no other way than trying to grit your teeth and understand that you can't live on gambling alone, in fact you have to make them understand that it is absolutely important to manage your money

This is the biggest dilemma in many developing countries where peoples have illusions and hopes to achieve big through gambling at the end their families faced consequences which are worse even we can't talk about them here in words.

Loans and advance salaries always not helpful because things gone on worst after every lost which always increase problems, but they never thought about this just keep pumping their hopes which are not going to be filled through gambling. Survive is never bee option here human tragedy starts which ends have never been watchable because many gone without having any intention and just few appear in media or through peoples those live near them.

[Bitcoin_people]

In my opinion, there are some communities who, if they lose while gambling, then they work hard to save money. On the other hand, there are some communities who, if they lose while gambling, instead of working hard, ask each other for money. There are two differences in wealth, basically a person who hesitates to introduce himself as a gambler to others, they work hard but still do not plan to borrow money from others. And there are some people who go out among people, they have lost in gambling, and they plan to borrow money from their friends and relatives.
Basically, I think it is never possible to find happiness by gambling, that is why it is better to get out of gambling and work hard and live a well-structured life. Because once you get into gambling, you will definitely become greedy and later you will have to face many things to get out of it, which is very challenging for a person's life.

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?

When it comes into this matter on which Im not that a fan when it comes on trying out to get involved with other peoples lives on which i do always that prefer on minding my own business rather than on other.

If they do wanted to gamble whether they do have that want on making money or having that fun then it wont be that much of an issue for me. I dont really care on what are their insights or perspectives in life on which as long they do know on what they are doing then that what matter the most. Usually people do really love on getting involved with other peoples lives on basing up on what they should gonna do or whatever that they are that trying out to deal on with. Inspiration could be that come into different forms on which it would differ into each person.

Do people would be working more harder? If they are that already addicted to gambling then there's no doubt that they would be that heading on there but if we do speak about on having some fun then there would be no issues. Actually it would be that all matter on how they would be that dealing and act according into it, because at the time that you do become that irresponsible then this is where things becomes shit.

Giving an addicted gambler money is like supporting them to fuel their gambling desire cause the first thing the person would think of is to try again and recover what he's lost, it's not helpful. I know out of pity one might be willing to give them back what they've lost to a particular casino but in the right sense instead of helping such person with money it's best to help them correct their mentality, addiction is a disease but can be cured, through therapy that's is why addicted gamblers need therapeutic support than monetary support.

I respect such people. The craving for gambling may pass, but the habit of being active in achieving your goals will remain. This is a great quality for succeeding in life. Even if the craving for gambling does not pass, that is also not bad - in the end, they are happy with how they live, so everything is fine. Plus there is a bonus potential plus - maybe one day they will win a jackpot that will change their life. The longer you play, the higher the chances

The idea of recovering lost funds is weak and absurd and I hope many gamblers would understand that gambling to recover lost funds can be nearly to impossible. I have been gambling for many years now and I have lose so much funds in the market and I know how it felt trying to recover your lost funds in the betting space.

Addiction is like a spirit that will keep telling us that we are about to miss an opportunity to make some crazy profits if we do not take a particular bet which is one of the reasons we keep seeing  gamblers coming back to gamble with they hope it recovering all their loses.

I have more respect for those who work hard to fund their gambling, because they don't give up & they enjoy doing it, besides this type of person is more special than people who gamble just to win, and the most important thing is they don't borrow money to gamble

I would never judge someone wrong as long as they are not ruining one thing for another. If someone is working hard to make money so that they can also continue their gambling activities, I see no problem with that, because it's not like they are leaving their work, or having their work life disturbed because of gambling, but they are doing everything else but then also spending some money on their gambling activities to entertain themselves, if that's what they like, so be it. All of us spend money on enjoyment and for refreshing our minds and souls, and every person will have different interests.

Gambling is only a problem if it's affecting your life negatively. Let's say, I gamble, and I do it excessively, spending so much time and money on it, I'm also not able to give time to my family and my work is also getting disturbed because of it mostly because I'm not mentally present where I am. If any of these things is happening, then it's a problem, but if there is no such problem, then there is nothing wrong in spending some money for your gambling activities.

[Renampun]

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 won't judge them for what they do, because it's their right to gamble or not since it's their money, but I just find it quite funny that some people are more motivated to work simply to keep gambling. from what I know, people are usually motivated to work to support their families or to improve their life situation, but if there are those who work harder just to spend their money on gambling again, I don't think that's something that deserves respect.

[Juse14]

It’s very stupid to labor day and night sweat just to waste all your money through gambling. It’s true that everybody has their way of finding happiness, and who am I to blame them entirely? But surely, when money drawn from hard work that could have done so many other beneficial uses ‘’ is instead exhausted by the gambling table, now that’s real wastage of money.

This is not to say that all gambling is unacceptable. But if someone’s main goal in working is just to keep feeding his or her gambling habit, they will have a difficult time achieving financial stability-let alone long-term happiness. And so, I think that whatever happiness they get from this is only for the time being and the future repercussions are far graver.

Now a person is working 10 hours regularly, working 10 hours regularly, he earns 200 dollars at the end of the month, from here a person will manage his gambling money. If the person feels that he is working 10 hours every day unnecessarily, he should spend his time gambling instead of working 10 hours because he does not have to work hard here and if he leaves his job and takes gambling as his profession, then it will be wrong. I am not talking unrealistically, many people do this, this is what I have seen in reality. I have presented this here.

I've yet to see anyone who leaves their job for gambling. What is common is juggling both at the same time and making their job suffer negligence at the expense of gambling. Most people who are neck deep in gambling often get distracted at their places of work thinking through what games to play at close of work or actually playing it during company time.

The only thing I have heard is that people get fired from their jobs because of irresponsible gambling that later lead them to becoming addicted. Anyone who's leaving his job because of gambling is actually making the wrong mistake because gambling might not give them the amount of salary they earn from there jobs.
Although the gambler might have a reason for quitting his job to gamble, maybe he constantly get a win, but that's not a better deal to leave your job and focus on gambling, or maybe the gambler have other plans to look for other jobs that pays well.

If someone is working harder mainly to fund their gambling then I have to respect their decision because it's their money. Maybe because I'm not in that category but it doesn't make sense to me that I have to be working harder to make more money because of gambling. I don't see gambling as an investment that it has to motivate me to work harder, I work harder because of my financial responsibilities which are quite much compared to my income. I cannot focus to work harder to fund gambling that I can lose the money to, I rather use small amounts to thrill myself in it.

However, working extra hard simply to finance gambling is not good at all; most often there is huge possibility that this path may lead to debt, job issues and other dangerous problems. Young bettors may suffer a large financial blow as they lean towards reallocating their savings & time. If you want that kick of betting then you can pile up capital separately for it, put a cap on bets 1 to 5% rules, put stricter loss & time limits on yourself & do not tap the capital for necessities.

Base on my experience, it does drive them to continue on working specially when they keep on loosing.
I have some workmates who gambles and wants to quit on our work, but couldn't do it since they need money for their vices (gambling and going out).
It might not drive them to work harder, but it would definitely keeps them working.

I think this is one positive side to gambling that I have also observed here. A lot of people do not have hope of earning the amounts of money they are aiming to win from gambling. So this hope of winning big and changing their lives keeps them motivated to work very hard in other to gamble since gambling have now been seen as a means of achieving their dreams. Even though this mindset is wrong because gambling is supposed to be aimed at earning passive income only and not a means to achieving dreams, it still have the advantage of giving a good number of people hope of a better life.

I sincerely feel sorry for the families of such people. They certainly did not deserve this. I myself was one of those who lived only for themselves and did not think about anything. Understanding and awareness came only after some time, but it was too late to prevent serious consequences of my thoughtless actions. I personally let down people close to me and I apologize to them. But this is not enough. Repentance is required, but it will not bring satisfaction. I still remember that time and think about it all with great disappointment. Why and why did I do this? Did I want to make money quickly and easily? And what happened in the end? Nothing good.

That’s a real-life experience, good to know you know people doing that. It’s actually fine since they’re working to finance their gambling and not stealing money. And honestly, it’s not really a problem if they’re enjoying what they’re doing.

At the end of the day, we don’t just work to feed ourselves and survive, we also work to have fun.
Gambling is that special kind of fun that gives real thrill to real gamblers.
