Don’t judge someone just because they gamble big

[$crypto$]

Who did you see judging someone because the person is using high amount of money to gamble? For example, on this forum, we  discussed about Drake several time as an example but we know that he is a rich person if we do not discuss about being an ambassador to a gambling site. We do not judge here but we advise people to gamble with the amount of money that they can afford to lose.

Yeah, no one judges here, and even outside, no one ever judges them even though they know the bets are big and their skills aren't really up to it no one ever gets involved with certain individuals; just let them do what they want.

What's clear is that I gamble with small amounts --- meaning I'm ready to lose.

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.

There are times we arrive at conclusions without actually getting to have a full knowledge of the situation. There are people that Jude some gamblers or conclude that they are irresponsible gambler just because they used huge amount of money for staking, they lack the full knowledge of whether the money used for gambling is what the gambler can afford to lose or not. There times this judgement may not be wrong, there gamblers after using huge amount especially the amount they can't afford to lose becomes restless and hopeless.

I completely agree, but honestly, I've never seen anyone judge a whale gambler, even on this forum, where I'm active every day. If there is such a thing, it's probably driven by envy, which leads to foul language when they see others gambling with large bankrolls. Whatever the reason, it's clearly unacceptable, because as explained, everyone's abilities are different. The most important thing is to gamble within your means and accept the risks.

Of course, because each of us has a different income every month.
Let's say we have an income of $1,000 a month, and we allocate 10% of that to gambling, which amounts to $100.
Meanwhile, there are other people out there who have an income of $10,000 and allocate the same 10%, which amounts to $1,000.

From this, we can see a significant difference. It does not mean that when other people gamble large amounts of money, we see them as greedy or desperate, because perhaps that amount is something worth betting to seek entertainment for themselves.

I wouldn't like to border myself much to search for a thread similar to this that talks about " gambling with what we can afford to lose" we all know that it means that a person or gambler can gamble what he can afford to lose and this amount has no specific, it could be $1 $2 $100 or even $10k provided that the person who is staking that amount has enough and can not be affected by the amount he gambles with. For a person to gamble $1k as an amount that he can afford to lose mean that he has enough and can not be affected if he loses that amount in betting.

Everyone has a special way they gamble and one beauty about online gambling platforms is that any amount can go for any registered account.
I don't bet more than I earn, infact what I bet is usually way smaller than my tithe and when I win, I just recycle the funds to last the days until I exhaust it and have to go all over again.
I gamble with smaller amounts for different games and it doesn't affect me much because I win an amount most times that's proportionate to the bet I made.

I agree with you on this one. Of course, judging a gambler does not change them from betting big, because is not your responsibility to decide for another person the way they would use their money. However, any gambler is absolutely free to gamble as much as they want, as long as they are gambling with what they can afford to lose nobody has right to question them because gambling is a personal decision you can only gamble with what you have.

Well I actually do agree with this but some people will argue that there should be some sort of logical threshold based on the society and to an extent it makes a lot of sense just because someone one has $100,000 for example to risk doesn't actually mean it's fine for him to gamble it all away. This is one of the cases where the phrase; risk what you can afford to lose is not really applicable.

People argue alot that gambling is for fun which partially suggests a logical risk level because it is for fun.

[Makus]

What's the point of judging someone for what they decide to do with their money, if you can afford high stakes then there's no crime in putting in such amounts into gambling but in a case whereby you stake amounts you cannot afford to lose just because you are trying to make money desperately this is only going to cause more harm than good, although no one has the right to judge you but as an adult you are supposed to know things that are not beneficial to you and when to stop if you notice that things are not working out in your favour. Gamble according to the level you are in financially

The only reason why anyone can should gamble huge is if they can actually afford to lose that amount, if not that, then they are definitely on the wrong track and it doesn’t often end well. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a risk taker or it’s part of your lifestyle to take huge risks, it’s understandable when you’re taking such risks with business or investment, but gambling? That’s a complete NO… gambling is way too risky and unpredictable, while businesses and investments may have high chances of success, gambling is quite the opposite since the house has a much higher edge, the higher chances of losing goes to the players.

I have never felt the need to look into other people’s amount they use to gamble, that is at their own discretion and what they can afford to gamble at that time. If you’re fond of doing that, you’ll one day be oblige to change your own way of gambling into risking more than you can afford to lose just because you want to feel among and want to cash out big like those big players. You never can tell when your luck won’t shine again and you’ll risk all the money at a go if the games don’t go your way. Stick to your own risk management plan and not always look at others people’s money they use to gamble, that could be a more minimal risk amount they’re using compared to yours.

That you can afford something doesn't mean you should get it na. As a matter of fact, maturity entails that you learn how to deal with things the right way and that entails  gambling with what's right and not just what you can afford to.

If you continue buying things because you can afford to get it, you will in the long run lose too much. No one is trying to judge anybody but the fact is that using too much to gamble even if you can afford it is not a good lifestyle.

I also don't want to judge players or speculate about their bets, because we're all different. If a player wants to bet a certain amount, then why not? They're adults, after all, and their decisions were formed for a reason. If they bet multiple times, then again and again, the game itself will tell them they've overdone it and will ultimately lose most of their deposit. I've long since gone through all those stages of losing and don't want to repeat them, so I'm currently playing with small bets, and that's enough for me, thinking I definitely won't be judged by anyone, haha.

When you are gambling, don’t compare yourself with other people, gamble according to what you can afford to lose, just because someone is spending huge amount of money on gambling doesn’t mean you should do the same. Our financial capacity is different, so someone might be gambling with huge amount of money, but the person might not really see the money as huge amount of money, so it’s better you gamble according to your financial ability, don’t gamble with huge amount just because someone else is gambling with huge amount.

Definitely everyone knows the amount they can afford to lose, the amount Mr A can afford to lose can not be thesame with the one Mr B can afford to lose. Just as the saying goes " world apart" all hands are not equal, it's only those who don't understand this theory will think that all amount that we can afford to lose will be thesame. Initially I usually though that this slogan " gamble with what you can afford to lose" was just betting with amount like $1 to $5 at most $10 per bet but I grew to understand that my least bet may be $100 and another person's per bet may be $5k, so all are not thesame. what each person can afford to lose base on their financial capacity differs, but who don't get these facts correctly may think that the guy who gambled with $5k is gambling above the amount he can afford to lose or he's being reckless and aggressive and or not being financial wise in spending. Just like people has been complaining about Drake gambling huge amount on gambling casino, meanwhile he isn't complaining since he has enough money to gamble.

Our financial status quote is not the same, I don't envy them because I can't even pretend about it, I can't wager the amount of money they used in gambling, I don't have the power to do that but maybe when I start earning nit, I might have a change of mind. When you gamble with high stake, you can make big win with good gambling skills but one can do the same with the same skill with small money, I have seen someone rose to fame with small wager and good skill.

Till now, the guy is winning big both in public and in private. I'm yet to see any punter in my place that is successful like him, though he has reduce his public exposure now which is a good thing, but if it's skills, the guy is blessed made money from gambling and he is till doing it. My advice, start small and continue to play like that until you are able to make it to the top where you can wager high, don't be greedy and do more than you can afford to lose.

It should be "only bet what you can AFFORD to lose", because I've seen gamblers who are willing to lose money they can't afford to lose. And yeah, you should only judge a gambler on how responsible they are when gambling, not about how much they bet when they are gambling.

[NurseHub]

I can't judge anyone over their personal decision as long as it doesn't affect me. A responsible gambler knows he should not gamble above his limit or close to it.

There are different people with different financial limit, your $10 can be your savings, while someone is spending that or more on a daily basis. When you gamble all your $10, you are gambling irresponsibly because that risk isn't worth it, but the other fellow gambling with it is just normal stuff for him. First, as a gambler, you shouldn't do any challenge of who gambles the most because you don't know how much the next person has in their account.  I have heard of people who have lost a bigger amount, which I can't imagine, but still move on, but someone also killed them self in such a loss. So before you gamble, you consider the account limit.

[Kelvinid]

High rollers gamble more and lose more, but they never complain about it. They just walk away and move on, then come back again the next day. People don't judge them because they can afford it. But for those who spend huge amounts prioritizing their gambling addiction over their needs, there is something wrong. They need some friendly advice, but not confrontation.

Of course, it was their life and money. We don't have the right to tell them that they are doing wrong, but I believe they also need some help. If they won't appreciate it, it is okay. But if they listen, it is better.

Most people gambling now don’t even gamble with the amount they can afford to lose, most of them are just so desperate to make money from gambling, and they decide to pump so much money into gambling so that they will be able to win big, which at the end if they end up losing, they will end up regretting, and some might end up doing crazy things. I have heard about people taking loan just to gamble with it. Some people main aim of taking a loan is not to gamble with the money, but they might just feel they can double the money, and will decide to place a bet with the money.

Some people got addicted to gambling just because they lost so much money in gambling, and in the process of trying to win back their loss, they ended up losing more, and they got trapped to gambling. When you are gambling, then your primary aim isn’t suppose to be money, just gamble for fun, and if you are lucky to win, then you can just make use of your gambling win.
