Don't gamble because you are in need of money

I wonder why such person would even get his wife pregnant when he's not financially ready to take responsibility of the outcome, he would've done withdrawal method or use condom until he's financially ready to take responsibility as the head of his family,  anyways frustration can make people turn to the wrong options for quick solutions, I believe he needed a quick solution but forgot that gambling is a game of luck and maybe because he wasn't at the right state of mind then he made the wrong choices.

Exactly it make no sense for someone with such financial mindset to bring a child into the world, someone that have to gamble just to meet up hospital bills is somewhat not stable to raise a child in a good moral standards.

Fron the story he did have work so he get paid monthly but failed to manage the avaliable resources and saving up some for his unborn child, blaming it on gambling is still another way of shifting responsibility, the  best thing for such a personal in that condition is to stop gambling totally for now.

A lot of responsibilities comes with marriage and even more responsibility comes when you get your wife pregnant so where people get it wrong is getting married when they are not financially balance to cater for three people at least. There is no way you will get married and would not end up  bringing a child to the world, it's difficult and takes a lot of discipline to do that because there is no way you get married and you will be looking at your wife so you are bound to have a child, you shouldn't get married when you are not capable of taking care of the child and the mother.

Blaming the casino is stupid, a man with such critical condition shouldn't run to gambling for solutions.

Bringing a child into the world when you are not financially or mentally prepared for it usually ends up creating more problems than joy raising a family requires stability planning and responsibility and once a man decides to take that step he must be ready to provide for both his wife and the child depending on gambling to solve money problems only shows how desperate and unprepared the person is because gambling never guarantees a way out of financial stress it usually makes things worse. The issue here is not only about being poor but about poor planning and lack of self control if someone already has a job and a monthly income but still can’t manage it properly that’s a sign that the problem is not the amount earned but how it’s being used when you fail to budget or save for important things like medical bills or family needs it becomes easy to blame external factors when things go wrong but the real issue lies in management and priorities.

Running to gambling out of frustration is one of the most dangerous decisions to make especially when you have people depending on you gambling is based on chance not certainty so expecting it to fix a serious situation only ends in regret it’s a distraction from responsibility not a solution the best thing for anyone in such a position is to stop gambling completely focus on proper budgeting seek advice on financial discipline and slowly rebuild stability.

When in need of money and you gamble, then you lose the more and get disappointed more often, because you're seeking for have what comes occasionally and don't know if it's not meant for that time to come for us as luck to win.

I have seen other gamblers without any expectations of earning money from gambling and often wins when they play, because this act of gambling comes in a natural flow from them and they don't have to stress themselves on whether it should come as a win game or not, as they are being capable of whatever comes to them.

I've also observed that those who are fiercely driven to win lose much more often and in greater numbers because they don't have barriers in their heads, although they should. A player must understand that if they want to win and have invented reasons in their head, it may not be grounded in reality. Those who play more recklessly, while understanding exactly how they win, can win more because they keep their emotions under control and don't try to prove anything to themselves in the game. I think these are even some of the components of success in gambling.

Whoever falls under this pressure or follows the advice from someone to gamble as a source of income will learn from their own bitter experience because they will be gambling under pressure and making decisions under pressure, which will not only not help but also put them in a state where they can get depressed after discovering that making money from gambling is not as easy as they thought. Gambling should never be considered as a source of income by someone who is in need of money. If you are in need of money, seek other means to make money outside gambling; take up jobs, even if they are menial, to be able to support yourself first and plan better for the future.

What can you expect better from such a horrible decision? Everytime we discussed about this, my suggestions have always been the same-- don't try to do too much with gambling. Anything more than having mere fun can result in permanent loss of funds and regrets that may never be changed.

Gambling because you're in need money urgently is one of dumbest ways to find money .. like, out of more than a hundred thousand ways to find money, gambling appears to be a fitting path? It was never a way, and doing it in a different way wouldn't change anything.

His bills are piling up and he can't do anything but to wait till month end when he will get paid. This is a mess that he put his family into because he thought that gambling will be able to solve his financial issues at that moment. Only gamble for fun and not at the point of need so that you don't worsen the current situation.

That was a typical story of a father who is addicted to gambling.  I do not think that it is the guy's first time gambling, probably it is also the reason why he has to borrow money for his wife's hospital bill since he has lost his initial fund for that bill in gambling but the guy never learned and still use the borrowed money.

Unless the guy woke up from his delusion of getting rich in gambling, his wife will probably stay in the hospital for a lifetime or unless someone intervenes or personally assists them to pay for the bill.

I don't know why people go to casinos when they urgently need money. Why don't they think that the amount they have for gambling will be gone if they lose? Instead of losing that money, it would be better to keep it and arrange some funds from other places. Casinos are not like other jobs that provide money through hard work; rather, it's a game of luck. If your luck is good enough, then there will be no need to look for money and now you are looking for money shows how much unlucky you are and still you trust your luck.

Well let me tell you why it's because they are being hopeful, 😂 so many gamblers are of the idea that it's possible for them to double or even triple their winning with gambling but they totally forget that the whole concept of gambling especially in casino's is for customers to lose so that the casino can make money so when you are going to play there should be always one thought at the back of your mind and that is you can lose even the little you are holding.

To be honest there are certain times that I gamble in order to double my money, but then wihile doing this I know within me that the profit is not always certain, it may come or may not come, but then I still pray and rely on luck to locate me.......

But what I got to discover recently is that if you approach gambling with the mentality of doubling your money, desperation usually set in. What do I mean by desperation? Desperation here has to do with revenge gambling meaning that if you experience any kind of loss, you will always want to gamble and gamble until you recover back what was loss. But the reality is that such excessive gambling could result to more and more losses if care is not takenn.

Only desperate person can only think this way because a normal and reasonable gambler can never see gambling as a place that would foot up their bills knowing too well that gambling is a game of probability, and again winning is a game of chances and you can’t actually tell when you would win, but loses are certain in gambling.
The possibility of 10 persons gambling and winning that at a time is extremely low but their chances of lose all their bet is higher than that of winning, so wouldn’t encourage anyone to turned gambling into a profit making place although we can’t factor out when we could win as it comes unexpectedly.

We all know that we start wrong if we have such motive, but I understand that some of us will still push such want because we do want to earn something. However, in most cases, we all know that the end game is quite painful. As we can easily lose all our bankroll, we need to be conservative with our movements. Do remember, there is never an assurance in gambling. Even if we say we have very high chance of winning, still, the luck factor is in play. Hence, we can still miss our chance.

You personally have the right mindset, but some people don't; some are living in an illusion where they believe everything they see online is true and real, just like the type of advertisement which I shared on my previous thread where they promote casinos as places to make fast money. If the person talked about in the OP happens to be among those who believe and easily fall for such adverts, then you have the answer to your question right there.

When I'm in need I don't even gamble because I know that I would gamble irresponsibly. Gambling should strictly be for fun and not to make money, trying to make it a source of income is only going to make things worse. Those that are experienced and mature enough knows that gambling cannot be a means to make money, it is possible to get lucky with it but you cannot rely on it as a way to always make money

[Raflesia]

Don't gamble because you are in need of money.

As the title says, people shouldn't gamble because they need money urgently to take care of one or two challenges that they're facing because gambling wouldn't bail you out. Casinos ain't money making ministry that whenever, you want money, you go and gamble and get whatever amount of you that you want. It's the opposite because casinos are out for business and the house hedge will always win.

Actually, it's okay for me when we want to gamble, but don't let our goal of gambling be to use it as a shortcut to get money quickly because, after all, you clearly won't get that in gambling.

However, too many people only think about the fastest way to get money, which is a wrong way of thinking by making gambling a means to get money, when in fact it is clearly a desperate and foolish thing to do.
Many people are deceived by this, and in the end, instead of profit, they experience ruin. Therefore, it is important for us to pay attention to small details to avoid making the wrong decisions, as gambling is not something you should do if your goal is income.

I can say that the man in the story never learned to act responsibly, especially toward his wife and child. So it’s not surprising that he also failed to act responsibly when gambling, even though he once had a chance to temporarily improve the situation when he was in a winning position. I assume that if his wife knew the truth, they would probably have a serious argument.

Basically, gambling is not an escape route or an instant solution to financial problems, especially when one is in need of money and is risking the well-being of a wife and baby. Instead of improving the situation, it usually makes things worse. Never gamble when your financial condition is in trouble, as the head of the family, you must learn the true meaning of responsibility.

A man down my street wife put to bed and needed money to clear the hospital bills. He met people and asked for help which he finally got the exact money to pay up the bills. Since he is broke and doesn't know how to get funds to feed his new baby because the month hasn't come to an end. He decided to use part of the money to gamble before going to the hospital.

Unfortunately, for him he didn't quit when he was on a long winning streak, he continued playing due to greed and forgot about the reason why he started gambling in the first place. Two hours later, he lost all the money and remembered that his wife and baby are in the hospital. He couldn't come back home that day, he slept with them hospital. He's back and the street people are asking him about his family, he lied that they still need medical attention which was the reason he left them there.

His bills are piling up and he can't do anything but to wait till month end when he will get paid. This is a mess that he put his family into because he thought that gambling will be able to solve his financial issues at that moment. Only gamble for fun and not at the point of need so that you don't worsen the current situation.

This sounds fairly generic, almost ChatGPT generated.. especially when you start getting into specifics like "2 hours later". If it is true then let's face it, the man had a problem long before his wife entered the hospital because you don't just suddenly become a gambling addict in that time. Men like this have a long history and it was probably well known by acquaintances before this point, so I'd question why they were handing him money if they knew he had a problem. His imperative should have been to find a job and if he was a decent man, after receiving the funds he should have handed it directly over to be paid, so his wife may very well be better off without this guy if he acts like this, unfortunately she is probably too trapped and dependent at that time.

It's just quite unfortunate that we so many of us think this way and that's why we keep loosing and regretting afterwards. Winning in gambling is just luck. So if luck shines your way, why wouldn't you leave with your winnings. Okay, even though you wanted to increase the winning, then you lost one, two or three times straight, why wouldn't you walk away? Greed wouldn't let us, forgetting that owners of casino companies are out for business and profit making.

I really feel for him. Sincerely, he would be leaving in regrets all night all day, and he may even vow never to gamble again, but am sure after her settles himself, he would come back again, smiles.

We should learn from this incident, we must avoid the thought that we can double our money quickly with gambling, it doesn't work that way at all. Gambling is full of unexpected happenings, and we can't go there with full assurance of coming out with gains. We must be careful and wise while gambling. Gamble with what you can afford to lose.

I agree with you, an experienced gambler knows very well how bad a situation it can lead to if he crosses his limits, gambling becomes dangerous only when people turn it from entertainment into a way of earning a living, because there is no skill involved in gambling, everything depends on luck, so here you must control yourself and stop at the right time, responsible gamblers know their limits and know how to stop there, and this is why they never become addicted.

I'm not disputing on this fact, but I think gambling has helped some people during thier difficult times. Take for instance a friend of mine whose parents is not well to do, and during our final Year exams he had no money to pay most of his bills so he decided to use the little he have to gamble with the hope of doubling the money through gamble and he was lucky enough to win a huge amount of money from his first attempt   then he quickly rush back to the school to clear his bills. If not for the sake of gambling I don't know what would have become of him. Because he was hopeless, I know for a fact that gambling is not a place to run to whenever we are in need of money. Moreover for the fact that it works for this guy doesn't mean that it will work for everybody.

Most people are gambling just because they need money, I have seen lots of people gamble with the intention to just double their money, some will tell me they want to get something but they don’t have the full money, they will want to gamble just to increase the amount they have to take care of whatever they want to take care of. Gambling is not suppose to be a money doubling machine, if you want to gamble, it should be for fun, and not to increase the money you having with you.

Why will you give birth when you don’t know how you going to take care of the baby, that sounds crazy to me, if you are giving birth, then you should have plans for your children, why won’t you know how you going to take care of the children? It doesn’t make any sense. I feel the person is just so addicted to gambling, because how will you use hospital bill payment to gamble, funniest part is that, they even contributed the money for him, the money doesn’t belong to him. The person should be taken to a rehab center, he needs to checked.

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

Don't gamble because you are in need of money.

Nah,
It's risky to trust your stake on based on believe system of getting money, you believe there will be a lucky day or lucky week or lucky hour. All these are just epitome of keeping hope on what may never happen. It's more riskier to try gambling when there is an urgent need for money. Must definitely fail you because even playing may come from a place of confidence and balance.

OP that is good reminder and lesson to all of us that casino games should be played only with money we can afford to lose. I think we all know that deep in our minds but sometimes we need stories like this to sober us up. This story shows that people can, while gambling, forget their priorities and during gambling feel intoxicated and forget even on their families.
