If gambling where the only alternatives would you gamble?

[Makus]

I have always been gambling so if it gets to that point I don't think it's going to be a big deal for me because I'm already used to gambling but for those that aren't gamblers it's going to be hard for them to adjust to it because they are gambling because they don't have a choice not because they want to or they like gambling. A lot of people would lose because they would fall into gambling addiction.

If you take gambling as your job, it will come with a lot of emotional pressure and this pressure will lead to mistakes that will cost alot, Soo will advise that gambling should be done for its main reason and not a of making money,
Gambling is to risky to take it as your job, that i
 sometimes you will be dependant on someone else you don't know for your survival.

If gambling is considered as a profession or a source of income, then it will be a big problem for him because if he has no other option, then his family and himself will have to depend only on gambling. The possibility of someone earning money from this uncertain game is very low, so if someone does not have any other job, it is not possible to depend only on this gambling. If there is no income from any dependent source, then how will he be able to meet the daily needs of his family because he will not get a constant profit from gambling. If he does not get a constant profit from gambling, where will he get the expenses to maintain his family?

It should be like this. I am sure and believe that there are still many other ways that can be taken or used to find a more decent income. Earning income from gambling is fine, but it would be better if you had something else that you built elsewhere, something that could generate profits even if not as much as gambling income, that is still a better option. Moreover, gambling carries significant risks, and there is no guarantee that you will win consistently. Therefore, ensure you carefully consider all aspects before making a decision, especially if it concerns the livelihood of your family.

Personally, I will never see gambling as the only alternative to making money because that’s already a journey toward failure and disappointments. Gambling does not know any emotional or financial troubles you are currently into and will not specially favor you because you are choosing it as a last resort. Gambling will remain gambling and it features such as unpredictability will also remain the same. If you are expecting something different from what’s already happening with gambling because it is your last resort be ready for any form of lost and disappointments you will face too.

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.

Well I think it's just an imagination because I know that there are many ways to fetch money. But if para venture it happens that that way, then I would boldly say that I would never find it difficult in the game because I'm not new to the industry anymore, so I would definitely navigate the industry without losing much.

But I want to let you know that such imagination can not be possible at all because gambling can never be the only source of survival, so don't ever get carried away by such mentality because it is absolutely a "No No" for me.

Gambling can not ever be the only source of finance and that just reality truth but let assume eventually gambling is the only alternative left to make money then i guess many people would definitely take the alternative that way and make money even those that are not into gambling or anything pertaining to gambling at all will look for a possible way to join the market and make their money.
 To be honest I don’t think that some people would not take gambling of eventually it the only options, of course they would take it because they need money and just few that will just stand firm to their words but a lot would join the game. After-all money is needed to take care of many things.

I'd rather try my luck in finding or even coming up with a new source to satisfy my basic needs than to gamble in this kind of situation.
^{- BTW, if gambling is the only means of income, how can a newcomer to this field even begin their gambling journey? It doesn't make sense!}

In my opinion making gambling a profession is a very risky business. Some people think that luck will open up one day or another but in fact, gambling is a game where there is no such thing as a fixed income. One month you may get some money, the next month you lose it all. How will the family survive then? I personally think that even if someone has no other option, it is not right to rely completely on gambling, Because family means not only today's expenses, but also future security. Children's education, illness, sudden emergency expenses all these require a fixed income.

If I'm not a gambler before but because there's no other means of livelihood I will gamble but I will learn how to do it like others are doing it. I wouldn't want to become addicted to gamble so I will make research and I will gamble with what I can afford to lose. Although when I started gambling I didn't do it the way I said it right now. So the reason for implying such pattern is because I have known the harm gamble can cause if it is not done properly.

If you need a stable source of income, gambling cannot be the only source. Even the capital you need for your gambling bankroll can come from the only source of income. So gambling can never be the only source of income, but it can be a source of income for casino owners. Those who gamble are only losing money.

Although gambling is banned in various countries, people still use VPNs or gamble in general. Although the government in these countries talks about the policy, in reality they do not want to implement it. If gambling is considered the only source of income, production will be greatly affected. Then no one will be willing to work hard.

Many people choose gambling as a last resort when they are depressed or under financial pressure, but in reality it does not solve the problem but creates new problems, and it even creates bigger problems. The mentality of always trying to make up for lost money pushes people to deeper losses, and at that time it creates such big problems, then it starts to cause damage not only in financial losses but also in all aspects of mental and family life. Therefore, gambling can never be a reliable source of income, and this fact must be understood and accepted as such.

If you are already used to gambling you don't have to bother yourself about questions like this about gamblers and whether they are proud to be a gambler or they can do anything for them to continue gambling.
Gambling is an activity of choice and I don't see anything that is wrong with unless for those that just started gambling and want to make money by any possible means.

You just said that in this scenario it would be the only option for income. So i guess my question is: Gambling instead of what? If it's literally my only option, why would i have a choice?

And how it would reveal anything about me? Wouldn't that just reveal that i don't have choices and i am grasping to last straw.

This whole thread just seems like your reflection and justification of liking it, because not for a moment i thought i would be gambling in your scenario because i would be a gambler or because i liked it.

I am not even sure how restrictions would be an issue here, but maybe i am taking your point too literally. Although i am not sure how else to take it.

[Kavelj22]

But gambling can never be a source of income, the source of income will provide us with money where there will be no harmful possibility, but how much is this applicable to gambling? In gambling we will lose, face financial losses, here the matter depends on luck, so how can we accept it as a source of income? Gambling is not a sure way of earning money. Here the possibility of loss is high, so it will be limited to entertainment only, it cannot be more than that, it is not possible. And I do not think that in reality there will be any situation where gambling will be the only way for a person to earn a living or there is a possibility of such a thing.

I still think it's an impossible scenario that gambling becomes the only source of income. Even though, it's not a sure way to earn money. Gambling is the most dangerous way to make quick profit. Many gamblers migrates to trading to bet on the price. I think both are ways to make profit out of thin of air without any productive activity.

In some countries of the world this is not just a question but a daily reality.  There is no legimate source of income so people have to gamble to survive, mostly risking their lives and worse consequences in some way just to make enough money to exist.
   It should be hypothetical but the reality its happened too often, people are forced to risk it all and the odds are not profitable when you have no choice.

I can agree that it is a reality but I don't agree when you say that there are no other sources of income aside from it. So the OP's question truly remains as a hypothetical one. I don't know but maybe the gamble that you mean there is not also about gambling in casinos but it is like selling a drug for example.

There are so many people like this though in our place or country. It is like these people don't know other ways to live. However, I won't fully blame or hate them for that because these people have grown up extremely poor and has a difficulty of educating their selves, which makes them not qualified for other many formal jobs out there.

I doubt gambling can be a stable source of income at all. In any case, 99% of gamblers won't be able to earn enough money to live comfortably on sports betting or prediction platforms. Whatever we say, the easiest way to make money is to simply work for someone else. Even a gambling business is quite risky. It's easier to make money through trading and investing than through gambling. Unfortunately, that's true.

If I don't have another choice, I would consider gambling as my main income. If gambling is the only way to earn money as their income, I'm pretty sure gambling platforms will offer additional benefits to make users feel more comfortable on their site. Imagine spending years on a gambling platform and being able to earn through other features, like dividends. This could increase the reasons why people would consider gambling as their main source of income. While gambling itself may not be a stable income, if gambling platforms provided a way to earn a stable income, people wouldn't think twice.

In my country, a blogger named Multichel is popular. He posts videos on YouTube and positions himself as a practical and cynical person, well-versed in various topics related to income generation. In his videos, he always appears masked, projecting the image of someone who has once had run-ins with the law. He also portrays himself as a very sociable person who has interacted with a wide variety of people in his life. 🙋

In particular, Multichel is actively involved in sports betting (very successfully, according to him). However, he says that this area of ​​income generation (in my country) is currently under threat. This is due to new legislation regulating bookmaking. Everything has become much stricter...

For example, betting winnings used to be credited directly to bookmaker deposits. This motivated players to continue placing new bets. Now the situation has changed. According to the new legislation, winnings are transferred to the player's card. Then, the player can decide for themselves whether to continue betting or not.  Naturally, this legislative amendment leads to a decrease in bookmaker revenue. And bookmakers are beginning to more strictly control their expenses (in particular, security is paying closer attention to the winnings of lucky players, making it much more difficult for them to win and collect their winnings).💸

All of this, in my opinion, indicates that relying on gambling as a sole source of income is a very bad plan... The risks are too great. For example, an unexpected change in national legislation could deprive a player of this source of income. 🤷

I don't think anyone is proud or would be proud to be a gambler unless people that has dedicated their lives to gamble and at some point when they will realize it is not worth the dedication they will wish they didn't..., gambling is only interesting when someone is gambling and winning even if not much but at least there has to be winning. People who want to make money from gambling by all means are the ones that easily fall victim of addiction and someone should not have this mindset before they start gambling.

Gambling would no longer be an option but a compulsion in case of the absence of the alternative. Gambling is supposed to be fun or calculated risks, not a survival tool to people. When one gets into gambling hoping that they will be guaranteed of earning money, such an attitude of thinking will result in addiction and disappointment. When one wins, it becomes exciting but when one loses, there is nothing one can do. Experienced gamblers would have to feel pressured when they have no choice but to do so. Ultimately, gambling must not be an activity that is imposed by time or desperation.

The reason most people end up getting addicted to gambling isn’t because they didn’t do their due diligence or they were unaware of the dangers of gambling addiction, but simply because they gambled with the sole purpose of making profit. This alone is is enough to put any gambler’s emotions on the line as it’ll become harder to control your urge to keep gambling, especially when you get those adrenaline spikes, it’s as if your rational thinking is turned off and all the research you did suddenly disappears.
