The Harsh Truth About Betting No One Will Tell You

[Alphakilo]

Betting was never meant to be a real source of income.

You're right..it's a misconception that makes people to think that gambling can be a source of generating income for household, gambling never be a source of income, and it was meant to be entertainment from friends who challenges each other...

Gambling can never be a source of income, but it's a misconception that will make people to think that gambling is a source of income...

I don't think it is right to come of the conclusion that gambling can never be a source of income. In some way, I think it would be right to say it could be a source of passive income instead, for some who have mastered some certain skills and games that they out of about 10 trials, can win 7, and that's a perfect score for me if you ask.

I don't support too much gambling or using it as an excuse to evade situations or as a form of cool down activity. It is deceptive marketing we see more times of social media and movies than it is in real life. Only those who have enough to eat and live in comfort with good sources of income, can actually enjoy the thrill better, because they use big amounts to bet and most likely not money kept for important needs.

Most of the points you have raised are similar to what I know about gambling. For instance, making gambling a real source of income will create unnecessary panic that can drain the player. It has so many health implications, which make that practice a dangerous one. I think to avoid this idea is the reason some person prefer to set their mind on the fun and not on the money so they will not be tempted to act irrationally when things are not going in the expected direction.

If not many of us already know the actual things shared about gambling here by the op is no longer something new, but we know it needs to be repeated or adding to the fact that the Op might also not be aware that we are equipped with such knowledge, since its title talks about "truth, nobody will tell you" we know gambling should be used only for entertainment purpose if we truly want to get that fun from it, but we are always attracted by the profit which we expect to make and that leads us to increase in stake amount.

No one builds a life off betting.

The system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as designed.

And it’s not designed for you to win long term.

Yeah, you’ll win sometimes.

That’s the hook.

The system design, I understand that part but saying that no one wins money from gambling is actually a false theory. There people that are lucky, this people and luck are 5&6, you can never see any of them gamble without any win from any of the game they bet. They make loss but they also make money and this money they make is large that only few people get in but I support where you said gambling isn't design for wealth, not for everyone.

The problem is that many of us gamble because we feel it's a place to plug money and not just ordinary money. We any to make a life changing money, the money we have never made in our life before. That's the first big mistake of gambling, many addicted gamblers all have this mentality which is wrong step and its not about who is making money who is not making money, both poor and rich people can be addicted to gambling and they don't make anything from it.

This is supposed to be the harsh truth that no one will tell you about gambling irresponsibly.
First the emotional and psychological pain that accompanies it, is worse and more than the money lost.
Second, you will be all alone even if you have friends who constantly push you to go overboard.
Third, reset will take a longer time to achieve so it is best not become addicted in the first place.
Fourth, gambling favors the self-disciplined player. And punishes those who are indisciplined.

These are my personal harsh truths that I have got about gambling.

Yeah, you’ll win sometimes.

That’s the hook.

But the moment you keep cycling those winnings back in, the math catches up.

Maybe not.
Not eventually-if-you’re-careful.
Just time.

This isn’t a wealth vehicle.

It’s a drain with occasional payouts to keep you playing.

Entertainment dressed up as opportunity.

If you insist on betting, treat it like you’d treat a movie ticket or a night out.

The second you need betting to cover rent, food, or bills, the game is already over.

Since betting was never meant to be a real source of income, I don't know why some people are thinking that they could make a lot of money and become rich through gambling. Making profits often time through gambling can not be that profitable for people that hope to be profitable for a longer time. A casino is not a bank thanks dispensing money to people who have used their service going to make huge profits without even losing enough money to clear casino bills and expenses. Gambling can not be always profitable for all gamblers.

The harsh truth that most of us fail to accept that the system of gambling is not designed to favor us. It is desired to take away from us, to make us addicted to gambling that we can be rich through gambling and all our losses can be recovered. All are blatant lies to keep us stuck to what will hardly come by
