Don’t judge someone just because they gamble big

[Vaculin]

We shouldn’t be too quick to judge people who gamble huge amounts of money we’re not in their shoes. Some players might be high rollers because they can actually afford it, or it’s just part of their lifestyle or business risk appetite.

The true meaning of responsible gambling is pretty simple, only bet what you’re willing to lose. whether that’s $5 or $5,000, as long as losing it won’t mess up your life or finances, then it’s still within your limits. So instead of questioning how much someone spends when they gamble, maybe it’s better to remind people to stay in control, play within their means, and know when to walk away.

The level of an individual financial cash flow,is what determines his or her betting amount, I don't think those that gamble online can be judged because no body no the amount they are gambling with, unless they let someone into it.

Both loses and winnings all remain private to them and them alone, this is what we should know.

I assume some people get balances and chips comped too to encourage others (and possibly them) to gamble more. There are usually better ways to spend money though...

If you own a casino, why not start placing $100 bets on the roulette 8 at an empty table knowing people usually bet $10-40 to encourage them to bet higher...

There's a difference between doing something because it's entertaining and doing it because it's an addiction though and maybe you should judge people for addictions in there (much like places that serve alcohol being restricted from doing it to people too intoxicated).

I dont judge anyone because aside from naturally being a highroller, all hands are not equal. Obviously we are all in different financial level, so definitely our discretionary income is expected to differ. Although there are people who dont have much discretionary income to allocate into their bankroll yet they try to maintain a certain standard of bankroll even if it means tampering into other funds meant for something important like basic needs. On the other hand, there are rich gambler yet they try to maintain a balance or low bankroll.

How about people that we really know that are struggling financially, and they are still able to bet, and the amount of that bet is still huge?

I recently had experience with this, our family member, who recently had struggling and we found out that the money he used  to gamble was borrowed. It's tough.

I agree responsible gambling isn’t about the size of the bet, it’s about the mindset behind it. Everyone’s limits are different & as long as someone is playing within theirs & not putting their wellbeing at risk that’s what truly matters. It’s easy to judge from the outside but we don’t always see the full picture of someone’s circumstances/motivations.

[Fiasem20]

Who I'm I to judge any human that's doing whatever he likes to keep him entertained?literally I don't judge.Just like we have the rich and poor gamblers likewise there are also the high rollers and the low rollers in the society.A highroller might wager with $100 at once but a lowroller would split that money in parts and use them till it finishes,what makes the difference if all the $100 gets back into the casino.The difference is the approach,the highroller used all the money at once while the lowroller refused to use all at once, probably having a set limit which reduces the risk of him losing the money at a one time bet.

I think it’s normal to notice, but not to judge. Like, we’ve all seen Drake lose over $100 million, so of course people talk about it. But at the same time, opinions are split some say he can afford it since he’s a millionaire (maybe even a billionaire), while others think it’s still crazy money to lose.

If that happened to us, which it won’t cause most of us don’t even have millions, we’d probably think the same way. So yeah, it’s fine to notice, but don’t criticize too much. We don’t really know their lives anyway, maybe they only share their losses for attention, who knows how much they’re winning behind the scenes.  

[giammangiato]

I don't judge how people play, I actually just avoid judging people, only when people do stupid things or things that endanger the lives of others, or are violent in that case (even if it's not my job) I judge their atrocities.
I consider those who play a lot of money crazy (in the good sense), I'm absolutely not envious, but how can I get all that money? What will be his secret? Do you have any skills that I can have too? Everyone is free to play as they see fit and as much money as they want, worse for them if they spend more than they can afford.
Whoever is the cause of his evils should mourn himself, it is called responsibility.

Everyone have his own reason for gambling and that is why we have to understand that people cannot all be the same, we have the rich gambler, the middle class gamblers and even the poor types as some may call it, all that matters is for everyone to gamble as according to his ability.

The true meaning of responsible gambling is pretty simple, only bet what you’re willing to lose. whether that’s $5 or $5,000, as long as losing it won’t mess up your life or finances, then it’s still within your limits.

We should not go beyond our capacity in gambling, because we are not doing it to please anyone, but our own self, therefore, staking should be done according to our capacity and we should not get ourselves into trouble all in the name of gambling.

I have no problem with people's stalking power since our financial level might never be the same, as long as the person can afford it and feels is fine, then they can go ahead and have their fun. The only person I'll have a serious problem with it he bets big currently is myself because its not in line with my gambling budget.

If the gambler cannot afford it, but its already a lifestyle, then he has to stop and if such a person is my friend, that's when I'll have issues with him because you cannot be my friend and be financially irresponsible.

I like my gambling session longer, so to achieve that with my limited budget, I'll not be the guy to bet big at once.

[Japinat]

I don’t know if you’d call it judgment, but here’s how I react…

When I see someone win big, I get inspired. But when I see someone bet big and lose, I get discouraged.. pretty normal reaction for most people, right? Still, I really admire those who bet huge amounts in gambling. They’re the real big players, trusting their instinct or skill and not afraid to take risks. I don’t think they can’t afford it either, because if they’re betting that kind of money, they’re probably mature enough and just natural risk takers.

[robelneo]

Many of these people who judge gamblers on how they bet are envious because they either cannot bet or lack the kind of money these gamblers have. These people do not have the business of judging others because, firstly, it's not their money, and they did not loan it to these high rollers.
They should just shut up. These high rollers will just laugh at them because they have the means to bet huge. They are not high rollers if they bet small; they bet within their means, something that envious people do not understand.

[nara1892]

Yes, I agree with you OP that rather than interfering too much with other people's gambling activities just because their bets are large, it's better to remind them to control their gambling activities, because when it comes to money, of course everyone has a different financial situation. It could be that their income is very large so their bets are also large and that amount is only a few percent of their income, meaning they only bet with a small amount of money, besides, everyone has a different gambling style. As for me, I don't want to interfere too much with other people's affairs, as long as it doesn't harm me, I won't criticize anything, but yes, reminding them about self-control is indeed better.

I agree with you but I think no one should judge another gambler unless he really knows how his financial condition is, most pre-gamblers force themselves to gamble big to have a big probability of winning from their luck without understanding the real risk management, we see a lot of people complaining because they lost a lot of money in gambling which is their own fault, if someone doesn't want to be judged then he doesn't need to tell anyone, even post his losses to convey his complaints, we know that gamblers who lose big always blame others and that's what makes many people upset so they react by commenting back, I don't justify judgment in public areas, it's just that the gambler himself usually shares it, that's a common comment that will definitely be obtained when you spread your losses and humans have 2 reactions, the first is positive in the form of support and advice, the second is blasphemy or insults, that's something that can't be avoided and definitely exists, you can't stop this in public areas.

Don’t judge someone just because they gamble big

Why should we judge those who place big bets in gambling, that is their individual right, they are capable, of course it is not an obstacle for them, gambling is free and people's tastes are different, there is no point in judging them, it is their choice.

As friends, we can only advise them about the risks of gambling, that's all, the amount they market in gambling is not our authority, everyone has different thoughts and ways of thinking, after all, everyone who gambles is generally an adult and sensible.

The things you said are actually the way people think in reality. When someone around them is seen losing a large amount of money in gambling, people think of him as irresponsible or greedy. But there are many people who have good financial capacity, so even if they lose a large amount of money, it does not affect their lives. Responsible gambling means that losing the amount of money will not affect their lives and the ability to meet basic needs will remain intact. However, it is seen that even those who have financial capacity become addicted to gambling, and at some point in their lives it causes mental and family damage. Therefore, whether someone's financial condition is good or bad, awareness and a responsible approach should be given so that someone's life does not turn into a gambling addiction.

[silpersurfer]

Well, that's how it is. Everyone has their own limits on how much money they are willing to lose on gambling. And perhaps the large amount of money I have deposited to gamble is the smallest amount they have ever deposited into their casino account, when they had financial freedom.

Gambling is a hobby and a pleasure, and people have to pay dearly for that pleasure. And as long as they are prepared to lose every dollar they deposit into their casino account, it's not a problem. However, if gambling causes major problems for your financial situation, you may need to think twice before depositing money into your casino account. More than that, if your gambling is hindering your daily productivity, then you need to start seriously limiting your gambling

[mu_enrico]

Usually, people gamble in secrecy, except for some slot regulars who brag about their max wins here.
Don't just assume people who share their winnings are real, since some of them, like influencers, can use fake money. Some also share replays from other people, not from their own gameplay, and the running text of live bets can also be fake, etc.

So my first judgment isn't about problem gambling or whales, but about how real the bet is.

I do not judge people who gamble big. I only judge them when they do it irresponsibly and after they had lost, they will start crying or look for some smart ass way to accuse the casino of being responsible for their losses. I only judge them when they allow their gambling habits to take control of their lives and ruin their careers, relationships, and their mental health and on to of all of these they refuse to seek help. Well, if you are freaking rich like Drake and bet hundreds and thousands of dollars, I won't judge you.
