If gambling where the only alternatives would you gamble?

[Charles-Tim]

I will prefer to post something more of reality than to post something that may be in line with the OP question. It is not possible that there will be no job to the extent that gambling will be what people will resort to. We all know that can never be possible in this world that we are.

But if truly there is no more work than gambling, most people will not be fooled because they know gambling is risky. Also if there is no more job, that only means that humans soon it have to do anything, including not gambling.

I only have one question for you OP, if gambling was the only source of livelihood for someone, then how exactly would he generate money to gamble in the first place, because you know you need to have some money with before you can hit the casino to at least try to multiply that money, or would you resort to borrowing from family and friends with hopes of paying back from the money intended winning from the casino. If that’s the person’s answer then that’s very first mistake he has already made.

Moving forward… if I’m in an environment where gambling seems to be the only source of income and I see that others are heavily involved in this practice, I’ll first of all look at the lives of those who actually doing it, I mean I’ll carefully pay attention to their gameplay and if see that they are actually making it big through gambling (which isn’t always possible) then maybe I might be motivated to give it a try, but if not, what’s the point?

In fact, with my level of understanding right now about gambling, I don’t think I’ll ever be motivated to take such step, even if I see people claiming to make it via gambling, I’ll still feel skeptical at some point, I might feel maybe they may have something doing somewhere else and maybe using gambling to cover up, I’ll consider several other things that’ll just make me feel discouraged at the end of the day.

If gambling was the only main source of income, I wouldn't literally do it. My definition of source of income is you have to trade something in order to get something, for example exchanging your workforce/time for money (like normal works/office works) but if there's a chance that instead of earning, I'll be losing, then it's not a source of income, it's just straight gambling and I wouldn't definitely use gambling as my source of income since there's risk. Luckily, in real world, there's a lot of things you can do to earn money and gambling is not one of it. However, there are really some people who sees gambling as a source of income.

[Rikafip]

I want to know if there are no other sources of livelihood and we have gambling as the only means of income and people are already getting used to it, and you are not a gambler would gamble instead?

I have to say that I don't understand your question, and to be honest it doesn't make much sense to me.

I mean, you ask that if in some imaginary world there was no other way to make money other than gabmling, would you gamble. I think that answer is pretty obvious. Unless I misunderstood you of course. 

[YOSHIE]

Of course there are some countries that bans gambling but yet there are some citizens who are still gambling either by using a vpn or Tor to access the gambling site.

If you talk and say that the source of human livelihood comes from gambling, of course you don't need to talk about countries that prohibit gambling, it is automatically clear that the world will develop gambling as the main source of survival in the economic sector.
If you talk about the source of life and the state prohibits it, that's the same as lying, meaning the situation is the same as now, there is no change.


Let's say the world's economy and the income generated for the survival of human life is generated from gambling, of course we will see human life like a film (Surrogates) all activities are always identified with the gambling arena, such a situation we no longer see people, addiction, passion, entertainment, pleasure and so on, we see only one professional and expert, such a situation we will get rich and poor life, they were experts at gambling, rich and biased in gambling, their lives were ordinary and they couldn't gamble, they were poor, that was the way of life at that time.

[vanesha]

Honestly, I don’t understand when someone says that gambling is their only way to make money. Don’t they have creativity? Or the qualifications and documents to apply for office jobs? Or are they simply tempted by the large amounts of money they hear people win from gambling through news or others?
In my opinion, that’s not normal. Making gambling your only source of income is really not a good idea.

[Hispo]

Actually, that sounds like a bad situation to be in if you think about it.
If gambling became the only way to make money within a population, when it would inevitably translate into more social problems than solutions, because we all need a way to make money in a reliable way, without having to rely on luck.

That being said, if I only had gambling as my only chance to make money, I think I would definitely give it a chance, because the alternative would be being poor (and nobody wants to be poor).

Though, one must be very clear and upfront about the fact those are situations which are not desirable in any circumstance.

[purple_sparkles]

I think that in any case, people will always have other ways to earn money. The idea that you can only make a living through gambling is, in my opinion, utopian. Those who believe that probably just don’t want to put in the effort and look for other options.Gambling is first and foremost a game, not a job, because it’s inherently connected with risk. And if we even imagine a society where this is the only possible way to earn money, we would end up facing something like slavery, at least, that’s my opinion.

Now, this would definitely revealed those who are truly a gambler or those who just had passion for gambling and even as it turns to only means of income you wouldn't be that feeling bad because already you are well customed to it.

I hope that day never comes because if everyone has to depend on gambling to survive, then it will not be possible for anyone in the world to lead a healthy life. Because even when gambling will be the only one livelihood, there will be nothing change in the gambling result, which will still depend on luck no strategy and skills could helps anyone to wins the gambling.
However, since there will be no alternative here, even if I am not a gambler, I will still have to consider this as the main source of activities to manage my life.

The only way to earn money, and my grandfather, who obviously died a long time ago, said this, is to work. You can't live by gambling, just as you can't live by your wits. And that is the only solution: to live you have to work. By working you live in dignity.

[maydna]

I will not gamble but search for other opportunities to make money. I don't wants to rely on gambling and knowing the risks will be big than I expected. I can lose everything I have but I don't have a big chance to make money.

Perhaps I can win money but compare with the lose I may get, that is not worth it. But I don't blaming those who wants to still playing gambling to make money because they may curious and don't realize the risks.

Gambling is not a job so they should not have use it. They must search for other things that can gives them the opportunities. Otherwise, they will gets deeper in gambling and becoming addicted to gambling.

[Mindyspace]

I think gambling as a sole source of income would be very different from gambling as a hobby. When it becomes an obligation, the pressure is enormous, and most people wouldn't be able to handle the instability. Those who aren't serious gamblers might try, but they'd give up faster after a few losses.

Even in countries where it's prohibited, there will always be people using VPNs or Tor to gamble, so banning it might not solve everything.

In the end, this would separate those who gamble for fun from those who really try to make it a profession.

[Pandu Geddon]

I want to know if there are no other sources of livelihood and we have gambling as the only means of income and people are already getting used to it, and you are not a gambler would gamble instead?

But this would be ridiculous. If gambling becomes the only source of income, then how would you fund your gambling if you have no other source of income? 
We can gamble if we have a source of income to fund our gambling. If we happen to have initial capital, would you risk that money or use it to live? 
The situation could be confusing; in gambling, there might be a chance to make money, but it’s uncertain. whereas someone who needs a stable income would consider the guaranteed results they can achieve, not ones based on luck.

I mean, if gambling is the only means and source of livelihood available in the world, then I am forced to gamble even against my will just to survive.

If that were the case, then the world is doomed from thereon given that you cannot substitute something not absolute to pay for your bills that are consistent all throughout.

Of course there are some countries that bans gambling but yet there are some citizens who are still gambling either by using a vpn or Tor to access the gambling site.

This is a risky move if you were to gamble using VPN.

Before you commit in making this decision, make sure to read the ToS of gambling websites and their stance with using VPNs. If they expressly stipulate that they are against the use of any VPNs, then do not do it because you are putting your funds in jeopardy. The gambling company has every right to withhold and confiscate your funds in the event you violate their ToS.

We should never base our financial dreams on luck as it is simply not reasonable when it comes to long term survival. In the absence of a constant influx of cash in the real sector we will just be eating up on core capital which could be employed in fulfilling the most basic needs on a daily basis. You are correct that we can always be sure that gambling might never because a sure payday is always guaranteed by a long-term employment.

The situation would of course be very confusing because that would mean gambling platforms would have less strict measures and make the house edge become fairer to the gamblers, which also means proper strategy would be developed that must be learnt to at least win something tangible weekly just to go by.

Gambling would definitely not become more of probability in this regard, instead a large blend of effort and trial count and difficulty levels and the likes.
That is the mathematical schematics would be distorted to favor the participants somehow.

No, I understand how tough it is to use gambling as a source of income. We want a stable one or at least that we're sure that we're not going to depend on chances for how much we're going to earn. It's okay to see if the crowd does the same thing but, the option is within us and we can always choose what's best for us.

You can actually go different route because you aren't core gambler, to be realistic there are those who are gamblers and whenever there are no other means of having a source of income at that particular moment they looks at gambling to earn more money and even though it is not guaranteed they don't really care at the moment till they gamble and earned up something for themselves.
When you truly understand how other sees gambling as you would know that there are people who can't leave gambling rather they had took it as place where they could make easy money from the gambling site that is why we easily records the high rates of gambling addictions.

They are certain with that if they'll continue and won't care whatever happens to them. They're all set and gonna gamble to make money because that's what they think is needed for them to do. But they'll soon realize that if it's not working for them and they're not like the lucky gamblers that are making money from it, they have to check it first if it's really for them. Because it's okay to do it full time when you're having little ratio of losses and they're winning more. But I doubt that there are those gamblers that have never went into low percentage of losses.

It's rather outrageous to think that way, before now there have been different means to source of livelihood and just by chance gambling can't be the only source of income. Let's just say it's all on assumption, I believe people would not even make it  through this process because fir gambling you need money to get money whereas other menial jobs just require physical strength and efforts so if that ne the case I'll clearly decline gambling intoto.

[Hatchy]

Now, this would definitely revealed those who are truly a gambler or those who just had passion for gambling and even as it turns to only means of income you wouldn't be that feeling bad because already you are well customed to it.
Of course there are some countries that bans gambling but yet there are some citizens who are still gambling either by using a vpn or Tor to access the gambling site.

It's quite difficult to make such assumptions and give a reasonable reply because the chances of such happening is very low... Gambling being the only source of income may not be possible because there are countless numbers of skills out there that still beats gambling in terms of success rate and consistency. But if I was to reply, then the answer would be no. Don't forget that you need money to also gamble. A source of income doesn't have to take away 90% of what it makes you. And gambling is that perfect example.. one minute you are winning then next few hours you might be in loss. It's simply not substantial to be a source of income..

[GeorgeJohn]

I want to know if there are no other sources of livelihood and we have gambling as the only means of income and people are already getting used to it,

Not everybody is getting used to it...gambling is something we should know that can pleased us now and also displeased us at same time...if see gambling as source of income, that leads many of us to be addicted to gambling...

and you are not a gambler would gamble instead?

if someone is not a gambler, it will never consider gambling as a source of income...it's when someone is gambler and also have no any other source of income, it's when it will consider gambling as a comforter and advantages of milky money.....

Now, this would definitely revealed those who are truly a gambler or those who just had passion for gambling and even as it turns to only means of income you wouldn't be that feeling bad because already you are well customed to it.

You will bad to it, if you realize what you have lost and what you have gains through gambling...Gambling never be a means of surviving or source of income to man with right senses....

Of course there are some countries that bans gambling but yet there are some citizens who are still gambling either by using a vpn or Tor to access the gambling site.

It's obvious that theirs no way gambling will be restricted in a country and lovers of gambling will not find alternative to bypass the rules and access gambling...I may say that the reason why some people will bypass a protocol of a country and partake on gambling, it ill be as a result of passion not because they survive through gambling....
