If gambling where the only alternatives would you gamble?

[Findingnemo]

Well, you are asking a hypothetical question with no other choice than gambling so obvious answer will be yes, I will pick gambling as the way which doesn't mean I agree that it can be a source of income but it is because I realized that giving myself is a chance rather than denying it completely. Survival of the fittest.

[Anayochukwu]

Gambling can never be the only source of making money in the world because there are many source that people are making a living. But if it happens the way you think then people have no option than to accept it and follow up with the way others are doing because you have already known that you can survive without gambling, just like the way we are doing with other source of income that is how people would try to get rich with it. But to be honest I think people find it more difficult to survive with it because even now that is not the only source of income people are still finding it hard to win so actually it will be a very tough one for people.

Many people here would be happy if gambling were their sole source of income, provided, of course, that it was a fair endeavor that consistently yielded profits. This is technically impossible in the world we know; it can only be a stable source of income for casinos. But it would be interesting to see a casino that pays you to play with subscriptions or coupons, and in return, you have to watch ads or fill out surveys in the process. Would you play this way? Or would the advertising simply ruin the gaming experience? Because making a living from gambling as your only source of income seems unfeasible to me for the average gambler.

The only set of people that would be happy if this were to happen are those that love gambling, not everyone really enjoys doing it so it wouldn't be pleasant to them. like you said, the feasibility of making money from gambling us very low, there's a chance that you might get lucky but this doesn't mean that this is something that can happen consistently, gambling to make a source of income would lead to gamble addiction.

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?

No, that's not going to happen; work will never cease to exist. There will always be a source of income, you just have to look or train yourself, how a human would live without something to do, and gambling is never a source of income its a bad interpretation of gambling

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

With or without passion, you will eventually lose, and you cannot make it a source of income even if you are accustomed to it or even all your life, you just can't, and it's not possible, you can only try but but you will end up a failure.

If gambling is the only alternative then why waiting for so long to think about it, you don't have a choice than to gamble in other to survive that means the casinos will make gambling more easier for gamblers to win since it win now be a huge profit making business for them and they are sure of massive bets per day, not even being an alternative people are rushing and seeing gambling now as an alternative to quick money or income in other to solve their financial needs nowadays because of the harsh economy.

[Dunamisx]

Once there's no alternative for us to choose from in life, then we have to gamble for survival since we are left with no choice, but this must also come with risk because in gambling, one will always lose more often, so all of us will be left out without a choice but to gamble and continue gambling for survival.

That is true, humanity survived this long and it was not only gambling why we survived up until now. So yes, we can always find another way how to support ourselves and live. And it is not the only way to survive so to speak. We have so many activities where we can earn decent money and not fall into the trap of debt and other financial troubles.

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.

Yeah it's normal, winning a bet brings self confidence for every bettor but it's not something that should make one get carried away and feel they'll always be lucky else such person might be forced to make a wrong decisions that would make him regret and even wonder how he got into gambling in the first place. It's normally to be very happy when we win but we should allow over confidence to trigger a negative decision making.

The truth is that gambling can never be the only alternative and even if it's the only alternative I would rather look for something better to do rather than gambling so long as I'm allowed to make research I would look for something more reliable than gambling because there's no way I can survive with gambling. However gambling should only be for fun and entertainment and not a  source of livelihood because I can't even imagine myself depending on gambling as my source of income or a means of survival because I know that gambling can't help me achieve my goals.

[Mr_Brilliant$]

I think this question already has its answer, because if someone has only one option, then there is obviously nothing else the person can do outside the only option given..
The answer is simply yes, because since you said it is the only alternative, then there is no other option than to gamble..
But if there’re other means of livelihood, then gambling is not compulsory..

[Ambatman]

Gambling isn't the only alternative but I still gamble
I guess that Answers your question directly.
And if it is the only means of income I don't see why anybody that would want to survive
Would neglect it.
I heard somewhere that sometimes your principles are only as strong as the situation you find yourself
Meaning there are certain situation that may make it go against your principle.

Then you would a world of slaves where all the money would be held by few hands after a while, while everyone else couldn't be even gamblers anymore, since they would have already wasted all their funds on gambling, without any chance of recovering it someway else, as gambling would be the only source of income in this hypothetical world.

And then even casinos would break at some point, as there aren't other sources of income to fuel this activity. Probably money would be worthless too, as its function would be solely for gambling reasons, without adding any value to people's lives through trading of goods, services and everything else.

[jossiel]

Gambling can never be the only source of making money in the world because there are many source that people are making a living.

It can be and that's why the industry is huge and more casinos are coming and valuated in billion dollars.

But as the other sources are there as well, this is a situational just like when crises happens and you've got no other option to make.

If it remains the only one then owners are the beneficiaries of it but then, there might be a huge drop for their revenue when people realizes it's not helping them.

[Nwada001]

Gambling is not the only means to make money, and people are already risking all they have and investing all their time and wealth in it. Talk more of when it's the only considered legal way to earn. Don't you think it's going to be more than obvious to see the majority finding themselves gambling, even those who once hated it? As long as it has been confirmed to be a means to earn by risk, people will do it.

Do you even have to ask this question if gambling is the only way to earn money?  Is it not obvious that the answer will be yes?  Your scenario already put the person in a scenario where they don't have any choice.  It is not a matter whether gambling is bad to the person or not but a matter of whether the person will gamble to support himself and his family's needs.

No. I'd rather build my own casino instead. You said, people are getting used to it and there's no other means to make an income, so I choose to earn higher chances of profit than risk a higher chance of losing.
Let's be real, there's not long term sustainability about gambling, everyone will eventually lose at the end of the day.
In this scenario, there could be a lot of competitors, but considering the number of people who will gamble, the possibility of getting zero client will be very slim to none.

If gambling is the only source of income, then it will even mean that we can’t be able to tell if someone’s reason for gambling is actually true as they claim it to be. Everyone will now be gambling for money as it won’t involve anything like passion or hobby. A source of income is for the main purpose of searching for money, so it if was never there, then we can’t think of it in another dimension but for this case, gambling as the only source of income will make us all have zeal for the incentives we will derive from 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.

If gambling becomes the only source and means of livelihood, countries that have banned them will uplift those bans and make it legal in those regions. Gambling can never become such, so such assumptions is just futile and response on this will be given based of assumptions only.

the thing is that people misunderstood gambling because gambling is not being created as a means of making money but people understand it wrongly feeling that the gambling is an avenue to make money while gambling has never been programmed in such way so hoping in gambling to make money is what that has been disappointed people into today, so if we realize the risk that is involved in gambling I don't think that gambling will have this traffic it is having today

Gambling is never a source of livelihood; it should not be promoted that way, and people should not do it or make a living out of it. Whatever you have will vanish if you try to take gambling as a source of livelihood.
The owners are the ones making it as a livelihood at your expense; you are their cash cow, not the other way around.
This topic is unimaginable, but it's worth reminding people not to take it seriously for the sake of making a living.

[Muba20]

If gambling were the only source of income, I think not only me but everyone would gamble and he would become a regular gambler. But in reality, that is never possible. Because to manage the money for gambling, he has to manage the money from some other income source. Since the income in gambling is not guaranteed. It is never possible to know whether a bet will win or lose, there is no chance of considering the uncertain money as a source of income. Personally, I am not interested in depending on the income from gambling because I know that the money from gambling is not guaranteed. I am interested in gambling because I can enjoy the pleasure of gambling.
