Don’t judge someone just because they gamble big

[tread93]

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.

Agreed. It can definitely be hard to not judge or put in your 2 cents on posts that are seeking opinions but I agree responsibility is usually fully assumed and understood of and by responsibility I mean we are responsible enough to decide for ourselves what we can and cannot lose, and therefore we must be responsible in our choices. Responsible gambling can mean very different things for many gamblers all that matters is their tax bracket I presume. How much can they AFFORD to lose? That will be a great scale for showing true responsiblity in gambling.

Playing for big money is simply a matter of scale. We sometimes criticize gamblers who place huge bets, exceeding many people's annual incomes. But we must understand that this amount of money represents only a small portion of a wealthy person's income. When we spend a certain amount on restaurants, entertainment, or shopping, we must understand that wealthy people do the same, but their income and expenses are, say, 10 or 100 times larger. Everything else is the same.

Yeah, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how much they gamble, the odds are the same.

If they gamble big or small still they are going to lose in the long term


I think it's a well known thing

We know every gambler has a different level in terms of the limits or spending they do on their gambling but in this case I think it can be 50/50.

Maybe we can't judge directly to those who gamble with a large nominal because maybe they can do it but on the one hand we also have to remind each other because when those who force gambling in a large nominal just because they want a return on the losses they have before of course this cannot be justified.

Many gamblers in the end have to be destroyed because they try to push themselves harder which actually spends all the money they have and it is certainly beyond the capacity they should do and we should as much as possible remind each other not to get caught up in gambling that leads to destruction.

I've heard that some personal growth workshops teach people to spend significantly more than they can afford in everyday life. For example, they might be given the task: "Bet more at an online casino than your monthly salary!" 🙆

The goal of such tasks is to break out of the so-called "comfort zone." People suddenly realize that their potential expenses could be significantly higher than they currently are. But to achieve this, their income would also need to be significantly higher. Thus, they come to the conclusion that they need to significantly increase their income. Sometimes this leads to radical lifestyle changes (starting a new business or finding a new, high-paying job).

This method is based on the fact that people typically strive for an income that covers their expenses. And very often, people don't realize their potential because their expenses are initially very low (and they believe there's no need to increase their income).  It's much better to just lie on the couch and watch a new interesting series.🪅

And sometimes it's the other way around... Sometimes we think other people are betting huge amounts of money. But in reality, we're poor people with a poor people's mentality. 🙍 As for these people, for them, these are insignificant amounts of money because they have a high income and a large financial capital. Their expenses correspond to their income.

first of all, other people's gambling activities shouldn't be of any concern to you, everyone is responsible for the risks that they take..even if someone decides to stake irresponsibly it is their choice, judging them is of no point..Most people gamble with big amounts because they can afford to, everyone's gambling activities should be private, as adults we all know what is best for us and what isn't

You are definitely correct. Everyone should mind their business and gamble with what they feel like gambling with because at the end you are responsible for bearing your losses for whatsoever risk you take because we are all matured enough to make decisions on our own.

Of course, after all we have no right to interfere with other people's business, you are right OP that everyone has different abilities in terms of spending money because our financial situation will certainly be different, something that is big for us is not necessarily big for others, they will definitely feel uncomfortable if we continue to interfere with their gambling activities especially about how they approach gambling.
There's nothing better than a constant reminder not to gamble beyond your means but don't refer to the amount.

Yeah, that's right.

In the end everyone is responsible of their own actions.

It doesn't matter really what we think about the others.

Clearly, it's better to examine and evaluate our approach to gambling, especially when it comes to spending our betting funds, than to mind other people's business. This applies to everything we do.

Honestly, I once saw a friend of mine constantly criticizing the playing style and betting amounts of others (including one of my friends). He was genuinely uncomfortable, almost angry, and said, "All the decisions are in my hands." While it's good to pay attention to other people's bets to avoid going overboard, only they themselves know whether their bets exceed their limits.

Everyone has their own financial level and the most important thing is to understand your financial level and know the amount which you are supposed to put in gambling.

 Know one has right to condemn anyone on how they gamble because everyone has right the way they want to gamble and it is a personal responsibility.  You can encourage one to gamble with amount they can afford to lose, this is just an awareness every gamblers needs but their is no need of judging someone because you cant really tell if it is the amount they can afford or not.

Gambling is a game of choice with different gambling patterns and different ways of taking actions when any time comes, my game pattern may be different from yours and yours far  from mine, the only thing common is our goal which is winning beyond reasonable doubt. I see know reasons judging a gambler for choosing high staking with little odd or staking little with high odd, what we should only be interested at is that unique gambling pattern helpful to the gambler or is it the architect to his or her downfall, so we should never think of judging any gambler on his gambling technique because he knows why that pattern is preferred by him.

Yes every gambler has a different pattern, strategy and tolerance level, I am a small gambler who can only afford to bet with small amounts of money. Big gamblers will do things differently. We should not judge someone just because of their different gambling methods. The main thing is to gamble according to your wishes and within your budget because that is the most important thing.

Yeah, true, but at the end of the day gambling is simply math.

And the odds are against the gambler.

So realistically speaking, the gambler is always better off not gambling

[Woodie]

Totally agree, it's easy to judge people because you think you have a sober mind, you think you can play better or you are more responsible than them.. but truth is, if you can take the heat in the kitchen then you are in the right place  lol this sounds so wrong but seriously, the basics of gambling is gamble with what you can afford to lose end of story!!

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Gambling has a negative return, that means you will lose the money.

If you are OK with that, it's all just for fun.

I don't judge any gambler that uses a huge amount of money to gamble but it doesn't stop me from noticing and sometimes I feel like they are wasting money on something that isn't guaranteed to give you your money back with profit and I only have this feeling within my self and I never talk about it with someone else because at the end of the day it is their money and they have the right to use it which ever way that pleases them. But I also can't help but wonder why some gamblers go as far as borrowing money just to gamble even with the amount they can't afford on their own just because they are big rollers.

But I also can't help but wonder why some gamblers go as far as borrowing money just to gamble even with the amount they can't afford on their own just because they are big rollers.

Because they are addicted gamblers, they have no control over not gambling when they don't have a budget. They might sell or borrow money just to be able to gamble. 
It doesn't matter if someone bets a large amount of money; they know the risks of loss and the financial difficulties they may face. 
Those who go insane due to addiction might also commit suicide.

Yeah, I agree.

I've seen some people gamble a huge amount of money and just lose it all in seconds.

It's quite nerve racking to watch really, but the gambler was fine with it.

I guess it was a frequent thing for them

I agree with what you both said, but still I often see this phenomenon, where there are 2 people and one of them is focused on gambling and then the friend next to him always interferes, sets the bet, tries to hold his friend playing aggressively and even forces him to move to play in another game. The observation here he is trying to keep his friend calm in gambling but on the other hand if someone tries to set the other person's bets it is very annoying to see.

It's really just about how our mindset is and the level we have in gambling because the benchmark for spending limits in gambling all goes back to the level of our condition.

If indeed we are able to gamble with the spending limits that we have set then even if other people criticize us that it is too big or too small indicates that it is not according to their measurements and it does not matter because what we do within the limits means different from other people.
Advising will be very different from intervening, if the goal is to advise because some people push themselves too hard to gamble it is not a problem but when it becomes an intervention then it is not really justified.

I've seen some people gamble a huge amount of money and just lose it all in seconds.

Happens every few days in the casinos. I had seen people lose 25BTC in a matter of seconds when price was around 20k USD. Never seen those usernames come back. But I do remember them converting to beggers on the casino chats a few times.

So people have tried to double their money and end up losing it all.

It's quite nerve racking to watch really, but the gambler was fine with it.

I would be devastated, I value money that much.

I guess it was a frequent thing for them

You would have have to be super rich to be comfortable with that frequent a loss.
