Brave or Stupid?

[ruykeri]

That is why you should not be too happy when you win while gambling and even if you lose, you should not bet more aggressively due to emotion. both conditions are problematic . If you win $30k instead of $3000, then it is not right to make any decision with excessive enthusiasm. Because if you make any decision with emotion without logic, there is a high possibility of making mistakes. It is most important to keep yourself calm in any situation. As a result, it is convenient to work with intelligence and make any decision correct.

You know, I'm still wondering how this sounds in his ear, quitting your job to keep gambling how? Does he even realize that winning is not guarantee? Or maybe he got carried away by the winning, that's funny. And yeah this happen to other gamblers out there especially those set that lack disciplined. Most of them take usually take a break from work when they win just so that they would enjoy the wining after spending it they will still return back to gambling, had it mean he knew that he can't use the money for something important he would have take a break from work rather than quitting.

Even when people say they quit their job to focus on trading, I personally see it as a big mistake, let alone gambling. Well, stupid things people do. This only shows that the person knows nothing about gambling, even when they feel they know so much already. Because if they have the slightest clue about gambling, they’ll understand that gambling wins are never guaranteed, and that the odds are always stacked against the gamblers, and even if a gambler manages to win a huge amount in one day, he could spend the whole year paying off those wins back to the casino if they keep on gambling, and that’s just the reality of gambling.

there’s at least some differences between trading and gambling but i would also advise against quitting your day job or stopping other sources of income just because you started trading

be established with trading first before you do anything life changing

Hahaha, that's the stupidest decision I heard, funny, just because he got 3,000 usd, that person quit his job, maybe he thought that the money could be expanded easily or indeed the job he left was already not worth it in terms of salary, whatever he had in mind, now he has to work hard again to find a job, which is not easy nowadays.
Oh by the way what country does that person live in? Because 3,000 usd, in my country even if it is enough to live on, with a note of frugality, will only last a few months.

[Akbarkoe]

Thinking like that is good, but I think the person OP is talking about doesn't know investment, because if someone who knows investment after winning gambling he won't give up his job, because people who know their investment will think much longer than just quick profits, looking at the actions they take, it's definitely not possible to invest.

I understand that emocoins can make us feel the need to spend and buy things, and that's fine, but you have to think that if you're lucky enough to have that money , it can multiply. The only way I see to do that is through investment , and investing in crypto, especially BTC, is really the best and easiest way for me to do it.

What are emocoins? Are we talking about that here? What does that mean? I'm sorry, I don't understand.

If it were you or I, we would definitely take that kind of action to use the money we win from gambling. Whatever the plan, whether it was for investment or not, we wouldn't quit our jobs just because we won $3,000. If I win more than $100,000, I wouldn't quit my job. I would definitely spend most of it on assets, not just enjoying it with my family.

Sorry, I meant to write "emotions." Of course, in that sense we're fine, If there isn't much experience regarding investments , I would choose to invest in Bitcoin without fear, because even if I bought it and the price of BTC went down, I know that at some point it will go up in price and much more than what I bought, and then I would have profits but it's difficult when you don't see it that way, but only to spend and buy things without considering that the money runs out.

The words aren't really that different.

And the context I'm referring to here isn't about how the money was spent, but rather whether you win $3,000 USD, as the OP explained, and then quit your job. This is where the stupidity lies, regardless of what you do with the winnings.

Probably someone from a developing country in South America or Africa, where the minimum salary is very low compared to the minimum salary in the United States.
Also, where I live it would be very difficult to live off three thousand dollars in the long or even mid term, there are already many places on the world who are being struck by inflation in USD and what it used to be much money it is not much anymore.
Not even mentioning it is very probable he thought he could got similar results on the casino again, causing him to lose money even further.

The gambler mentioned by op quit his job because of emotions after winning $3k in a gambling. If he could have won $30k, he would have probably breath choked from excessive emotions. In every situation, you need to learn to control yourself. Controlling emotions is more important in uncertain matters like gambling. Out of many bets if he wins only one and keeps betting expecting to win again. This is the time when gamblers have to control emotions and another time when they keep losing bets. One of the many ways to stay calm is to avoid excitement. Secondly gambling should be for fun, not for income.

[Dreadboost]

The fact that he was willing to quit his job for 3k$ shows clearly that he is not being paid well in his job,

Some people hate their job so bad that they will use any financial opportunity to run a way, and it's quite obvious that he is in that category of individuals, yes it might be a mistake, but trime there is something we might not know about to just jump into conclusion.

[NewCryptocasinos]

Agree, He should wait a bit...

Yeah, I've seen contents about people being asked to quit their jobs and they'll do that for a couple of thousands. So, I think that it's not stupid that he's left his job when he had that money and it's also a good timing for him to leave it and he's got some money ready to sustain while he doesn't have a job. But we'll have to know if his job is terrible and not paying well for him to quit it or he's only waiting for that time to have some huge balance so that he can find other opportunities while enjoying gambling although he's lost that still.

[Dunamisx]

Someone from my community said he quit his job after winning almost 3,000 USD from gambling. Now he is back to looking for a job after he lost all his money.

There's no need to argue anything about this because it's just a stupidity of its highest order, how can a man because of just $3k quit his job, maybe that was his first time to experience handling huge amount of money to that extent, when that is what some other people use for one time shopping at the mall, quitting his job shows that he doesn't know what he's doing.

[alastantiger]

Do not make big decisions like that after winning a big amount of money. Quit your job if you have successfully built that 3,000 to grow.

I guess we can just blame the adrenaline because i don't see any other reason someone will quit their job and now they are looking for a new job almost immediately. I personally treat wins from gambling just like i treat losses. So just like we know before you gamble, the money you put in is already considered gone, its the same way with the wins, so whatever is gotten from betting just consider it compensation for the already lost money you used to bet regardless of if you win or lose. Now if your friend had looked at it this way, he wont have considered quitting at all, because the money he won would just be seen as something extra. There is no way you would want to quit after just winning something extra, so it will help with the adrenaline decision making process.

[DaNNy001]

I see it as stupidity because he gambled back all the money and lost it. Assuming, he didn't gamble the money and invested it into a business that he's running, I would have said it was a brave decision.

He can even invest the money and continue his job. My coworker won upto $6500, he didn't quit his job and continue with his low paying job. In fact, you wouldn't know that he won such amount of money if you see him because he acts as if he's still broke. Guess what, he invested part of the money and started his building.

Well that's not how gambling mathematics works lol...A gamblers brain only sees an opportunity to make more profit after winning...Asides from the fact that he is a gambler he is also immature, someone that has a mature sense of reasoning wouldn't quit his job just because he made $3k...such people don't think.of investments because they only spend on temporary pleasures

[Doan9269]

Had it been it was stated that the winner is small boy, I could have said that this happened because of the way of his mentality and thinking abilities, but in this case, the gambler quitted his job because of overwhelming $3,000 that does not solve any of his problems completely, maybe he thought the same thing will continue nfornhim and he could be earning like that monthly, which is obviously more than what salary might offer his at the end of the month, he must be a lazy type.

I think it's a good thing because every player can blossom after being fired, and if they're not destined to become a big player, that won't happen, and they'll have to find another job. Maybe they'll take a different path and land a better position because they've gained a fresh perspective after playing. It's easy to try things like that when you're young, because even if it doesn't work out, you can try again and not even feel the loss, and it's easier to endure failure when you're young. Finding another job is much harder in old age because your health isn't as good as it once was. Today, I'm no longer ready for such adventures, even if I'm lucky enough to win tens of thousands.

[Mayor of ogba]

I can't tell if your friend was brave or stupid since you didn't mention how much he earns from his job annually. There are some persons that don't earn upto $1,000 from their job annually. If your friend falls in that category, it's very easy for him to quit his job the moment he wins $3,000 in gambling because he will believe before he spends the $3,000, he will win another big amount of money in gambling.

On this case, he chose to voluntarily leave the job because he's won. But I agree that those employees who got fired can still redeem themselves. Winning tens of thousands could make you survive for so long even you're jobless and as we grow older, the opportunities become limited and if a gambler that does the same thing is still young. They're free to explore with everything that they want to do in life, change jobs, gamble for as long as they can. The important part there is they're gambling with their own money.

My assumption is the same. If he could earn more than that from his job, I think he would have continued working. But when he didn't earn that much, he was probably so shocked by the amount of money that he decided to quit his job without further ado.

I can't judge either, because I don't know what he did after quitting started a business, or continued gambling and blew all his winnings. So, we need the full story to judge.

Many people win big from gambling, but I've never heard of anyone quitting their job with a $3,000 win.

Yes, this is certainly a crucial factor that can make all the difference. For example, if someone earns a lot, a single bet of $1,000 might be normal for them. In general, everything is relative, and each player has a different perception of winning; sometimes even a small win can have a significant impact. We need to be prepared for big wins; we need to clearly understand when to stop the game and reflect on what happened, rather than continue playing. If we don't think about it in advance, when it happens, we can become paralyzed and unsure of the right course of action.

[moneystery]

3k USD is not actually a large amount for someone to quit their job and live comfortably on. With that amount of money, if they want to start a business, it would probably still be a small business, and I doubt that it would provide enough income to meet their needs. So what he did was a reckless decision from the start because he should have just kept his job and used the money either for investment or for a small business, but without leaving his job.

[Pablo-wood]

$3000 might not be that big but it's a good starting capital for a wise entrepreneur.Quuting his job after the win wasn't a bad idea but what he did with the money won is what I will classify as foolish decision. A simple business would have saved him this stress of looking for another job that will cost him his time and resources. I think it's a big learn learnt only if there will be such opportunity for next time.
