When you see people gambling on the street what do you feels?

[Perfectbaby]

Do you think those who gambles on the street are irresponsible gamblers or that is the way they are deriving their Joy?
There was a day I passed through a local environment, more like a ghetto where they don't care about their lives and to whatever they are doing over there, I saw some of them gambling and smoking, one thing in me struck me to wait a bit and watch how they are doing that, as I was watching arguments came up where the other gambler refuses to remits his cash as he loses the bet. If I could recall correctly it's a card game. So I will want to know, are these people seen as an irresponsible gambler or useless people? 

Note I just sum up the whole story to be brief and concise.

Whatever way you found people gambling and is usually gambling, and gambling can take place in anywhere and any place as long as money is involved amongst them there is know as gambling. Seeing people as an irresponsible gambler depends on how they present themselves or maybe, they are gambling excessively without control at this point we can actually such person's has fallen into addiction. Responsible gambling connotes that you must know when to stop, how much to gamble with and also when to fund your account and also exiting the gambling site for safety, anyone who can maintain all these are can be liken to be a responsible gambler provided there is a moderation in it.

I won't be judging any gambler I see on the street gambling except I see them everyday gambling at that very location from morning till dawn. Anyone who sees someone with such a behaviour will not be pleased that a full grown man or woman does nothing with his time everyday, aside just gambling away his time. That is an irresponsible behaviour and yes I will see someone who gambles on the street everyday as irresponsible.

Most gambling is done online now so we don’t see it. Occasionally I do go to a physical bookies and when I see people in there, I feel nothing. As long as they are gambling with amounts they can afford to lose and having fun then we shouldn’t judge them, even if they gamble every day.

Since the popularity of online gambling has increased, street gambling has decreased drastically. Why would someone decide to gamble on the street when they could just use phones to gamble? In my area these street gambling activities are now reserved for gangsters and touts who want to enjoy these unconventional games.

And therefore anyone with a smartphone on his/her hand could be gambling anywhere on the street, public transport, a park...

But I know what the OP means and fortunately I have seen it only a few times, but when you see people who are gambling on the street desperately you don't need to see him/her in the same place many times, you can see it in their faces. I'm not talking about card games or the like, but slots, instant lotteries coupons, you know.

It depends on their conduct and when they're seen gambling. Most of those guys would just get up in the morning and some wouldn't even brush their teeth and settle for card games, Chess or drafts at a time people should be hustling for their daily bread. That is irresponsibility of the highest order.

I still see some men who just assemble under a tree deep into the evening to catch up with themselves and relief the burden of the day and they gamble on the same setting. Those men are having their fun.

Timing has a way of validating or invalidating your actions.

That is correct!
But what in a way that there is an argument or something like misunderstanding where it leads them to start fighting, what would you called that?
You know traditional way of gambling or local way of gambling can it be that violence because, then they are truly interacting within themselves and physically one could be stronger than the other where he get intimidated and beat up the other without them having to gamble responsibly at this point should we call them irresponsible gambler or gambling with what they can afford to lose?

I wish I could see people gambling on the streets again. Nowadays, people grab their phones and play slots right after waking up, before going to sleep, even in the bathroom. It’s really sad to see this. People who spend hours playing slots every day don’t realize their mental health will start to break down in a few years.

[Wiwo]

Firrst is important to mentioned the kind of games that they are involved in, and secondly what makes you think what they are playing on the street is gambling,  if they are staking real money on it or they are just playing to have fun with the time, this is what separate everyone in the long run, since gambling have to be subjective when it becomes a public thing.

[blomen]

how does it make any difference to us whether a person gambles on the street or anywhere else? we are all conscious beings with our own choices. if a person chooses to gamble on the street, we should simply respect that choice.

i think what we should really feel sorry for are the people whose lives have been ruined by gambling, whom we don't see but know exist somewhere. they too are living with the consequences of their choices, but a person who is regretful and helpless is worthy of our sympathy.

still, my reaction might change depending on the expression on the face of the person i see gambling on the street. it might also depend on the balance displayed on the screen where  they're gambling.

Before I see them unserious people but now I see them as their way of life. Op do you know that most of those gamblers are illiterate? Most of them can't even read and write so they prefer that method of gambling than going to online. And they are deriving joy from it. And every community has such group or gang of people gambling on the street. In my resident, those play the street game, and most of them are smokers and drugs addicts.

I only see people having fun and as long as they don’t go violent it is all good to me. People do all kinds if things nowadays in the street without causing any harm, Why would gambling be any different? It is sad if people can’t accept their losses and attack the winners though. They shouldn’t be playing if they won’t accept their losses. Either play and accept whatever happens, or don’t play. I wouldn’t even gamble with these people if I knew they were gonna do that. Playing on an online casino is much safer than that. What you saw however might be an exception. It is probably not something that happens everyday. If it was, those games probably wouldn’t last long. Imagine after every game the loser picks a fight, that’s not sustainable.

It may shock you to discover that most of these gamblers are even more responsible than the people who gamble in fancy offline casino houses and online, but it is just unfortunate that that is the only gambling environment that they are exposed to, and they have to gamble within their means to derive their joy, as you mentioned.

I don't think it is proper to stereotype all these people as irresponsible simply because of their gambling environment.

If you come to our neighborhood, seeing people gambles on the streets and alleys are basically a normal thing. You won't even think that they are wasting their lives because they've got money to do it and it looks like they're in their retirement era because some are old age, some are middle-aged. I wouldn't even judge people based on their looks and activities, everyone has their own grind to do and if I don't know much about them, I wouldn't say that they're useless people unless they did something dirty to me and shown their true colors.

Since you mentioned a poor area, I would say that the people there do not get much opportunity to have fun. In that case, when such a festival is organized, they may gamble on the streets as a form of fun. It may also be that they gamble a lot to get rid of poverty and to test their luck. But this type of gambling is suitable for fun because they do not get the opportunity to do it every day. But what you mentioned is that gambling is a business for money, which is actually a bad thing and a degradation of values. In a word, if those who gamble on the streets control themselves and gamble, then that is better.

[mcdouglasx]

The ghetto is another world, especially in Latin America, so customs tend to be very different there. I don't know if playing cards in the street would be irresponsible per se; I suppose it would be if there are children present. But what would be irresponsible is the act itself, more than anything, and not so much the players, since any of those players could be gambling in a controlled way. But it all depends on the country, since there are countries where gambling is part of the culture, so in that context they don't see it as wrong; it's just a normal day for them.

Those gamblers are gamblers of highest order, they are always proud of themselves especially some of them that have studied the games there and know their way out of the games due to manipulation and so on; while some are using power to win especially in physical gambling games.

Bettings in physical shops is also something that has been in existence before casino platforms take over, these is an open places for betting and gambling activities online but you will be given your slip which will be your evidence if your game happens to be lucky, the feelings is very good when you win because you will special and proud among your colleagues, while the reverse is the case if you lose money. The risky part of the game is that no privacy, everyone that sees you knows exactly what you went for which is not proper to me.

Well I don’t think I’ve seen people gambling on the street before, if I have then it means I’ve forgotten cos I’m unable to dig up such memory from my reservoir of memories.
But IMO, I think it’s kinda awkward for people to gamble on the street, as there’s a better place to do that other than the street.

Most gambling is done online now so we don’t see it. Occasionally I do go to a physical bookies and when I see people in there, I feel nothing. As long as they are gambling with amounts they can afford to lose and having fun then we shouldn’t judge them, even if they gamble every day.

I believe the question isn’t when you see folks on the land based or offline/physical casinos or bookies, the question is, what’s your reaction when you see people gambling on the street.

Well, i don't judge anyone for doing what makes them happy, even though some of them might be irresponsible because of how they behave it's wrong to generalise this because not everyone that gambles on the street are thugs, soem of them just do it to have fun. Personally, I can't gamble on the street because I believe in doing things in a certain way that's considered to be mature.
