Don’t judge someone just because they gamble big

[Wakate]

Some persons are trapped in judgemental circles that they think it's in their place to judge people for they do or not doing but they failing to understand that everyone's pocket size isn't same, and even they that are judging other people for making high roll gambling they also getting looked at by others behind them as spending too high on gambling even when they think they are spending less as $50 weekly to gamble. It's about what you can afford to risk losing out, and capacity ain't same so we have to be sure before jumping at conclusion on what people's spend as to be too high to use for gambling.

Being judgmental about what you don't understand is ignorance, if you see or hear about a gambler that uses your 1 year income to gamble on the spot you might think that the person is crazy but you don't know if the amount is what he makes within 1 hour and can afford to lose it. It's like when we see celebrities that buys a wristwatch with an amount that is outrageous to you but before judging that celebrity of being wasteful you need to first research how much they make on a weekly bases. Anybody is free to gamble with amount that they are comfortable to loose, if they lose it it's their money not yours, where you should have concern for your loved ones is if they are gambling irresponsibly.

It will be wrong for people to assume something without having a knowledge about what they are concluding about.
Thee are people that are gambling with huge amounts of money and that do not mean that they are fraduters or are into money laundering. There are millionaires and billionaires that also gamble to make money for themselves.

Pure ignorance is actually the problem with these type of people who think that if you're gambling above a certain range of amounts daily or weekly then you're an irresponsible gambler. It's very important to do some personal digging about any gambler found with high bankroll before thinking they're addicts and that's why they spend too much at a particular stake. See for example someone like Drake, imagine calling him a gambling addict or a reckless gambler for the huge amount he uses on each bet. Those amounts are nothing to what the young man makes as earnings in other sources of income.

The only source of earning money is hard work, work hard, only then can you achieve good success. Gambling is not a means or a way to earn money, so in this case we should never expect any big success from gambling, the most reliable way to earn money permanently in the long run is only hard work, gaining skills and working patiently. Gambling is a game based on luck, and we can only get something good from it for a short time, but it is never a reliable means of earning money. So we have to abandon such a wrong mindset, we have to think realistically, the wrong mindset will lead us in the wrong direction and it will cause harm to us.

I went through a period when my extreme naivety convinced me I could make a lot of money easily and simply by playing at the casino. And in the beginning, it was indeed true. I was incredibly lucky every day and had money. I thought this could continue for a very long time. After some time, my luck started to run out and a bad streak began. I started losing quite significant sums of money, which eventually led to total financial ruin. It took several difficult years to recover. I wouldn't wish such an ordeal on anyone.

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 trouble is that many people will readily calculate the amount they are willing to spend on gambling and go to an online casino, but when they lose it, they will think that they had been secretly hoping to win and get angry, and they will want to return the money here and now. And such people, they contradict themselves, but believe me, such characters are found among people and such people, they will start thinking where to get the money to return these lost funds and so their path to addiction will begin. I think there's definitely one out of five people like that.

Such people really deserve to be condemned, because if a person does not know himself, then, of course, no one will help him, because he is in his contradictions, and in an online casino it is very dangerous, because if in life he can somehow resolve his internal contradictions without spending a lot of money. In casinos, all internal conflicts are very expensive, because you can play like that, make a lot of money and then not return it.
Therefore, only those people who are harmonious and calm people should be in the casino.

I always tell people that gambling is for the rich people, people with several stream of income even if they loss it never affect them because they are getting it back x2 or more than if people are using huge amount to gamble doesn't mean they are internet scammers some are business men, some even stake with what some people wish to be there potential win. Using huge amount of gamble is not bad as long they can afford to loss sure amount of money if things didn't go as plan.

The fact is people who risk alot of money on gambling irresponsibly don't even say it out, not until their lives turned upside down, so how will they be judged upfront for gambling so recklessly?

Also, many gamblers think that they are risking what they can afford to lose but that's a lie, they thought they could handle such loss until it becomes a reality, when you can afford something is different from when you have money for something.

The money we risk on gambling must be what we called cheap shit, something that we can really really afford with no breaking sweat, someone who really can afford to lose $5,000 must be worth $1 million in bank balance, ten rounds of risking 5k is $50,000.

[Mpamaegbu]

...Because for some people, even 5 dollars can seem like a large amount, while for others, even 5 million dollars may not seem like a large amount. Therefore, what matters is not the size of the bet but rather its place within your overall wealth.

Yes, that's why it's canvassed that gamblers should only sensibly stake what they can afford to lose. People earn differently and as such should know their level of risk vis-a-vis what they earn.

People who cannot manage this balance can be called gamblers but I don't think we can call those who manage it well and play for fun gamblers. Of course, this is just my opinion.

I keep insisting that nobody gambles for fun. The reason is simple and that's because every gamblers intention going into gambling is to win. Whenever anyone gambles and loses, it can't be taken as fun. What's the product of gambling that anyone can enjoy? It's win, right? So, if that win becomes elusive; we can't say there's something we enjoy then. There's no fun if we lost.

Wasting huge amount of money in gambling can be described as a costly entertainment activity, as long as the gambler has very big reserve of finance. The economic status of a person is an issue that affects the way a person would cope with any sudden losses. I agree that, up to the extent that it does not interfere with such fundamental requirement as need and business capital, this is a personal activity of people who are able to cope with the risk associated with this endeavor.

[Mask.x]

Not all rich people do gambling but poor people gamble too. They are so addicted in this activity and addiction does not check bank balance. It exists at every income level but the difference is that wealthy people get not to much effected by the loss but it can be catastrophic for poor people. For many wealthy people gambling is more about entertainment in relaxation because they already have financial stability, but badly effect poor people since they do it for financial stability.

In my opinion you're not giving the average adult the fair chance as an adult to have himself some entertainment and catch fun with what he personally can afford to lose. I think the right emphasis should be about what every individual can afford to lose as what that should be used to gamble and not to make it appear though like gambling is a rick people's affair or activity only.

People bother about issues that doesn't concern them, gambling has to do with individual responsibilities and choices, so if someone decides to stake a high amount then that's their choice, judging them for it is unnecessary because some gamblers that stake high amounts can actually afford to lose those amounts they stake with.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

We don't have the verdict or jurisdiction to judge someone about how he gambles, as an individual, we also have to face the challenges ahead of us and determine how we are going to gamble in a more expected way than not, seeing someone gambling abnormally you shouldn't be a reason for us to mock at them, instead we can help with the situation or apply a strategy that could make things work out for everyone, most of those that we see that gamble with huge amount are being capable of it and we should not discourage them since we don't know their sources as well and we can't compare ourselves with them.

I guess what you mean is that all poor people are gamblers, why do you think so?
The same way it is not all rich people that are gambling makes it clear that it is also not all poor people are gamblers. You seems to think that only poor people are gamblers which is not also true because if poor people gamble more more casinos won't be coming, so isn't it obvious that the rich people gamble more than the poor? Same way a poor person can even become addicted to gamble that's also the same way a rich person can become addicted to gamble too.

People who gamble abnormally do so not of their own fault; they gamble based on their understanding. If one is concerned about how someone gambles, it is better to educate them.

It is possible that the person may be going through a lot, trying to reduce their limits in gambling, but they find themselves struggling with it. What people like this need is encouragement that will help them to improve, and this can even be a remedy for their problems. If you don’t have a solution to people's gambling problems, then it is better not to approach them about how they gamble, as it can make them feel inferior.

It is true that not everyone's financial level is the same, so the same amount is not equal risk for everyone.  For some $50 is a small amount, while for others it may be the cost of two days. However one thing is important, not all bets are healthy just because you can afford it. Many wealthy gamblers lose control and fall into addiction. So for me the main thing is not the amount but rather how much impact it has on their real life even if they lose that money and whether they are able to maintain their limit or not.

Exactly, that is why people should not quickly judge others just because they gamble with big money. Some people are financially stable and see gambling more like entertainment than a way to survive. Take a case on how a businessman can stake an amount that looks huge to another person, but to him it is just small spending money that won’t affect his business or family if he loses it. The real problem starts when someone gambles with rent money, school fees or business capital hoping to double it overnight.

[Sandra_hakeem]

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.

That's something most people tend to not understand. Just because it sounds/ looks real, doesn't make it. I remember a time we had several topics in this section about Drake's habit of gambling with huge funds, but all of a sudden, when they realized the trick, and since he doesn't post slips from another casino aside from stakes, they stopped believing those bluffs.
For the real deals, if anyone in their right senses would wager $10 million on a single bet, then that's on them.

We don't have the right to judge others especially someone who doesn't know us or we don't know him, even when we know him, we shouldn't judge someone, except to give advice or input that can make that person gamble better if his gambling is random and we know his resources, but if not, let it go, fellow gamblers don't mock the person.
I have a friend who has a gambling problem he gambles massively but he can't afford to bear the losses and it sometimes pisses me off because sometimes he borrows from me to deposit, and promises tomorrow will be paid because his salary has not been disbursed, until in the end his life fell apart, at first he was able to gamble massively but in the end he lost everything because he was increasingly ambitious to win and that's the worst example so far for me.

I think questioning them sometimes can be the best because without questioning them they may not be able to realize they are getting addicted to gambling and gambling with  money someone can afford to lose doesn't mean they can not get addicted because one of the things that causes addiction is regular or steady gambling because a time will come when a gambler will not be able to let go of their loss even if they are using what they can afford to lose as the loss will be steady.
