If gambling where the only alternatives would you gamble?

[kawetsriyanto]

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.

In the reality, it is quite impossible that we may only have gambling as an option. Where other jobs go if we only have gambling as an option?  It can be a hypothetical question, but it is an unrealistic question. Sure, if we only have 1 option, there is no way that we can ignore it. However, I am still thinking that it is like an impossible situation to have a single option only for the jobs.

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.

Yep, it only means we can't survive if we have no certain income. Even we try gambling, there is no guarantee that we can get money from gambling (you have explained the reason above). That is actually the basic reason why gambling can't be a source of income. For survival matter, I prefer choosing another option that can have a bigger probability.

First, am grateful there are countless sources of mako income which gambling isn't one of it.

However, if gambling was to be the only means for us to make income there was no way that everyone wouldn't have get into it provided they're to make their income but then how can we live in a world where our means of income is by chance? A lot of people would be not just addicted but die of hunger, because even under normal circumstance there are gamblers who throughout this year 2026 haven't had a single won bet.

Imagine a situation where gambling is the only alternative left and no other source of livelihood definitely I will consider gambling for as long as it brings profit. This question is also not appropriate to ask knowing no condition as such is possible firstly a situation of consistent loss, I wonder how will such person survive without money. I know how difficult it gets winning most times before a win there must be a certain level of sacrifice which involves funds talk more of a novice.

Hello fellas!
Just a little bit bored at night..
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?
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.

If gambling were the sole source of income, then the scope of a country's activities would be very narrow.
Losing is a guaranteed outcome in gambling with odds of 2/1. It takes money to play and the hope of winning, and that's also uncertain. I'd be right to say the scope is too narrow for a citizen to find a source of income.
While this is just an analogy, I don't believe it's realistic.

There is no way it can be possible for gambling to just be the only alternative for livelihood, it can never be possible. I just think it's just a fictional story or a parable, I know it's Just a joke and it will never happen but if it were possible, I believe many people will have no choice than to do it. And I myself would still have no choice than to do it, because people easily adapt to any situation they find themselves, and would take it seriously than anything. If it was the only source of livelihood casino would have tightening their TOS and house edge would be more harder because people must surely find out way to bring the casino down since they don't have anything to do except gambling.

I suppose there would be no point in arguing if gambling were the sole remaining source of revenue, as it is our only opportunity to earn money. However, even as a hypothetical,
such is unrealistic because gambling has never truly been the only option.

Simply put, some gamblers view it as a legitimate source of revenue. Because they hear about those who suddenly become wealthy through gambling, others even place their hopes on it.
like people who were impoverished but won the lottery.

If gambling is the only source of income then it won't be an alternative it would become a job whereby if you want to survive you must gamble , I know this is just a wild thought but I don't think that it can be possible. If gambling is the only source of income I wonder if winning will still be by luck, if it remains so that means that only casino owners will be super rich and almost everybody will be in abject poverty because we will all be addicts. I think there will be chaos in every society, since everybody is a gambler who will produce food that everybody will eat and who will generate electricity for the gambling sites to function. Your thread is just for fun because it is impossible to be a reality.

At first, trust me when I say there is never going to be a time when gambling will be the only alternative source of livelihood to someone unless if that person is naturally lazy and lacks initiatives. Gambling is something you should consider to do for fun and not what yo want to make a living with. If you are gambling, having at the back of your mind that it is not what you do for your survival will do you far more good than harm.

This is why we are going to keep advising ourselves to continue to build our skill sets as we progress in our day to day life because there is no condition in this world that is permanent and guaranteed. If you realize that early enough, you will always be challenged to keep building yourself every time so you don’t get to that stage when you feel the only option left with you for survival.

Are you serious speaking about getting a living by gambling? Unless you are a kind of expert in some discipline or has already experience in gambling, this somewhat impossible unless you spend many hours doing scalping/arbitrage or just collecting bonus online.

It's more common to see as business new casino and not new players it's pretty evident this is not the way for making money in the industry
At this point there are many other activities that can be done online. Even learn how to setup a DeFi wallet or trying to learn to code a basic AI agent could become definitely more profitable in the long term

It is impossible not to have other source of livelihood, even to sit around a camp fire and tell stories among friends is a very big thing in my country, how about hikers? Even introverts have chess to spend time with, there are many things people can do to have some good times even if we put aside every technology ways of excitements.

Things will still be the same, people who likes to gamble will gamble but there will always some people who will never come closer to gambling, like presently in my country there are people suffering because of the country situation, they hardly feed themselves per day and yet they choose to stay away from gambling, choices will always play a huge role in the lives of humans.

Of course, if gambling were the only means of making money, it wouldn't be seen as something bad, anymore. There wouldn't be any criticism on it and the society wouldn't frown at it. Though I know if gambling were the only income source, it would also be corrupted just like every other income sources. There's no business model that doesn't have its own criminal side. Nonetheless, those criminal sides won't stop people from trying their best to make ends meet and put food on the table.

It's evident that the major reason we all work is to feed. That's the main reason. Then we extend to shelter and clothing. All the extras are secondary or tertiary.

[Umulala-alala]

If gambling happens to be the only means of income then people wouldn't gamble because they needed to get money else were before they can stake on, if even it happens to be the only way most people will be affected because there are people who believe is against gambling those people wouldn't gamble, those who has not been gambling will loss lot of money because it will take them time to know how the system work, nothing will still change instead thing will get more bad because gambling isn't what is guaranteed that we are going to win if we stake up.

That's true, addiction is not by far if gambling is the only way to earn, though if it's the only mean to resource our income surviving is the only option and surely there are more people that will die along the way since there's no assurance that each of those people that will going to try will survive not unless if they are the owner which the risk is lesser compared to those who will play and aim to win.

It is a big mistake to consider gambling as a source of income. They'd rather find a job for financial security.

If I'm not a gambler, I should not look into it. Gambling is for entertainment, nothing else. We can't put our future into just luck. Being jobless, going to gamble is not an option. Choosing that kind of life is like ending our destiny. If we are jobless, we spend our time finding any job rather than thinking of going to a casino.

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.

Your grandfather was a wise man and he knew what made the world go around. If you work hard, there is no guarantee that you will be rich, but if you do not work hard there is a guarantee that you will not be rich.

Even a very wealthy person who got their money from their parents, has to work hard to keep that money, if they are stupid and just play and buy luxury stuff and not work, eventually that money will run out, I do not care if you are son of Warren Buffet, if you just waste money, it will be gone. So hard work is the only way to make money even though it doesn't guarantee it.

If gambling were the sole source of income, it would become commonplace in society, and anyone who gambled would be considered ordinary.
I wouldn't gamble even if it were my sole source of income, because there are certainly other ways to earn money, or at least food.

[Nahl]

Gambling forbidden or not i will still gambling but until whenever i wouldn't make gambling as source of income and regarding the answer for us as the player i have to says gambling cannot be used as source of income and the reason is pretty simple that gambling required luck and if we make gambling as livelihood then it similar just like bet our life into the gambling and imagined if this really happend in certain countries i am sure those countries will be chaos because the casinos has starting to manipulate their site and the players will be desperate because playing at manipulate casinos

Gambling can be a means of income for casinos, but not for gamblers themselves. It could be a source of profits but not a sustainable income, so I would not risk my life savings into gambling.

However, this is still impossible to happen since gambling itself is created for fun and leisure, not as a source of living, and gambling casinos are aware of that, but there are still many gamblers who are blinded by it.

We can never consider gambling as a source of income, a casino sets their own algorithm in such a way that their profit is always guaranteed, and the loss is most often the gambler. For this reason, in the long run, there is almost no chance of players winning here, here you will continue to play, you will lose more than you win. And that is why every player should take it only as entertainment, gambling is initially entertaining, but gradually the gambler enters it very deeply, they do not understand it at first, but the results of their actions definitely make them addicted.

Although betting isn't my livelihood, if it were my only option I would certainly have to make it profitable. I would have to turn it into a "profession"; if there are no other means, we have to adapt to the existing possibilities.
