If gambling where the only alternatives would you gamble?

[IvugeoEvolutionCoin]

In the context of gambling, it's the only way to make money. This means there are no other jobs besides gambling. It also means the government won't prohibit its citizens from gambling, as everyone, even the government itself, is a gambler.
Time goes by, and hunger inevitably haunts, meaning everyone will be involved in gambling. If gambling is the only way to make money, gambling will be normalized.

Yes, you are right, "If gambling was the only way to make money, then gambling would become normal." But it is not as simple as it seems.

Gambling is easy but winning is not. Gambling games are arranged in different algorithms. As a result, winning is a bit difficult. Gambling can make money, but the number of winnings is so small that it seems impossible at times. But, if it is the only option, then I will try my luck at it.

There is no way gambling can become the only way to make money when people are going to school, getting a good education to come out to become who they planned to be in the society. Not everybody likes gambling and many especially some religions are seeing it as a an activity that takes over the mind misleading people from focusing on themselves which could encompasses family, job, business and personal wellbeing.

In case gambling was the only source of earning money, in the long run, it would most likely become normalized, as mentioned. When a person is in need of survival, it becomes used to it, despite the grave danger it bears. But it would not be that easy to refer to it as normal. Gambling is fixed favoring the house where majority would lose in the long run. When all people depended on it as a source of income, there would be a tendency towards financial instability and inequality. It would never be universally accepted as people would still have their own opinion based on education, religion, and personal values.

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.

Given the uncertain nature of profits, it is clear that if gambling is the only alternative for a source of income then this will not help, sometimes we can win big even if we take risks and even then if luck is on our side, but looking at the reality it is impossible to make a profit by saying it is certain, and saying it as a way to make a profit quickly is true and makes sense too but before that we have to look at the disadvantages that come before the benefits so it is more a statement that it is faster to make us lose money and then quickly make a profit.

The only thing that would then be the true issue is that there is no better opportunity and gambling is merely the alternative to it. I support the fact that gambling is never a stable source of income since it is founded on chances, and probability rather than stability and productiveness. Although there is the chance of making huge gains in the short run, the long-term truth of the matter is that the house always wins. It might seem tempting to call it a simple method of getting money but it is equally easy to lose everything in a short period of time. Being in need of gambling to survive would cause incessant monetary strain and emotional anguish. As a matter of fact, it must not be a major source of income, it must be entertainment.

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 will be so crazy for anyone to be see gambling as a permanent source of income regardless the fact that it's not a reliable source and can't take care of the surposed folks talk more of his family. However gamble is some kind of games we do play for fun at our free time  with some little staking power and if being lucky enough you can take something tangible home, but seeing it outside that aspect is a big red flag to the folks in question and in most cases can also lead to gambling addiction which is the height of it.

[GiftedMAN]

If everything could be solved just by turning to spirits. In my opinion,  a person is simply in a childish position, believing that someone or something else will make decisions for them and influence their life instead. Blaming his friend for giving him the ticket is just an inadequate reaction. His friend didn’t take his money, didn’t place it at the cashier instead of him, and didn’t threaten him in any way. Everything he did, he did by his own free will and choice. Blaming others for your own mistakes is both foolish and pointless.

You are right, not that he is a child but an adult, who know his right from left and know what is good and what is bad too, instead of putting the blame on the other person, he should own up his responsibility and learn from his mistakes, as it will help him not to repeat such mistakes again, because in gambling, there is nothing like spirit but the act of greed and selfishness is making it to look like its a sort of spirit or some other things that is influencing their decision, if he actually do the needful, there is no time he will be experiencing all this problems.

[Orpichukwu]

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?

This thread is just some sort of question which we all know can't get to that level where gambling will only be the only hope for one to make money, but if that eventually happens, then everyone will be forced to figure out a way to survive with or without winning, and they will have to start making some homemade survival plans which won't cost them much money to survive, but even as that in the world today, you still need money to be able to survive it.

Exactly, gambling can not be the only alternative because other best alternatives like good jobs and business can not stop and if it can not stop, we don't have to imagine that gambling will ever be the only alternative. Some people do not like what will cause them stress and pressure like gambling, so they won't still gamble if it was the only option.

Anyone that would assume gambling should be the only option to make money are not really serious about themselves.
It is only laziness that will make a person to see gambling as the only alternative for them to make money in this world where their are so many opportunities for people that have a skill and are ready to utilize it to make profits for themselves.

[Doan9269]

If gambling is just the only means we have for survival, then everyone of us have no choice than to embrace gambling everyday, however, still found a pity that we cannot be able to manage winning or control the circumstances that may come along with gambling because of the risk involved, most of us would have been so much disappointed in playing because we couldn't afford to win consistently and it may be getting us frustrated to gamble more because of this reason, as many will definitely depend their life earnings on gambling.

[POPOLUV]

I will definitely gamble if actually it turns around that gambling is the only alternative left for survivals, because when gambling has not been the only alternative left i have been staking on sporting betting based on how spirit lead me to gamble, so i don't see anything wrong with it, but know that gambling can never be the only alternative to have source of income, yet there so many gamblers that has used their hands choose gambling as the only alternative source of income and it has been so the favorable to them and why some that has been addicted also in gambling has make it obvious in the society as if their life depend on gambling and that without gambling they will not survive in life and which has make them lose values in so many ways in the society because of the way some of gamblers handle themselves in public and  due to some gamblers fees so Lazy to find others means to  be earning  money.

If gambling was the only possible way to earn, I would avoid such job for as long as possible. But I can not imagine how gambling can become such activity. I think nothing can replace simple barter. Exchange service for service. We can return to a deep stone age and try to live without money by barter system. I think the world is so developer right now, that it will never happen that only 1 activity will become as only way to earn money.

Interestingly enough, gambling is one of the oldest activities collectively developed by human beings. So I could easily see a world where gambling and barter co-existed.
Way before the arrival of the biggest civilizations, like the Roman empire and the Carthage, there were cave people who had access to bone-carved dices.

For someone to have only access to gambling as income, they would really need to get our their way in order to run out of viable options like barter, which would be unrealistic. In the real world there are even people who have found themselves in the situation of working in exchange of money, that happened back in the Victorian London.

Ultimately, gambling is never the only option for survival and it is not even supposed to be an option for survival, but sadly many poor people treat if in such a way.

Perhaps, both gambling and barter may have coexisted going by their long existence but I wouldn't believe that they were the only two activities to have existed at any time in human history. Agriculture is also one of the oldest activities and I believe it existed even before gambling, and which there would have being men who render services working in other people's farm for an exchange. Especially during the Neolithic and Agrarian era. Some history even has it that agriculture aided in actualising civilization and civilization happened to make gambling more appealing to many than it was in the early ages.

If the win in gambling is certain, it can be called a source of income not betting on luck. Before reading this topic, I have never thought that it's a subject opened for discussion. However if the reality prove that it's impossible for anybody to use gambling as a main source of income, some regular gamblers might be convinced that it's a goal that can be achieved at some point. And this what tempt them to continue gambling in an excessive way to reach that imaginary point.

There are people out there who use gambling as a source of income. They play games hoping to win, while some are lucky, some are not, and that is how the cycle keeps going on. As a gambler, wisdom demands that you play with a thought of having fun, not making a profit, because the moment you begin to have such a thought of making a profit through gambling, it would be obvious, because you are already taking the path to addiction.

[icebar]

I can never think of gambling as a source of income because there is no guarantee of winning. People consider income to survive and if there is no such thing, it is definitely not possible to do it through gambling. Since no one can give me the certainty that I will win a bet, I will not consider it as a source of income. Some people consider gambling as a source of income, but when they do not find any profit after a long period of time, they change their situation. There is joy in gambling, but it should be limited to that. Those who start thinking of joy as a means of income start their journey towards certain losses. Most people in gambling think that easy money can be obtained but in reality, that is never possible.

[HelliumZ]

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 was the only source of income in the world, we would usually not study and get used to gambling from childhood and we would gain as much skill or experience as we would by studying at universities and colleges and earning degrees. Moreover, we would not spread the negative talk that people in the world spread about gambling sites, but we would participate in gambling with great respect. Just as we work hard and compete to earn income in the workplace, we would also earn money by competing and working hard in gambling.

This distinction between entertainment and the primary revenues is what will help in saving our economic balance at the verge of falling into a precipitous downfall. I think the inability to realise that victory is just a temporary perquisite, is usually the reason why people fall into the trap of debts. We should face facts that no gamut of money can be made at any gambling table across the world. I do concur that we need to focus on doing genuine work as a survival mechanism in the near future.

I’m sure we human are going to find ways to cope in such scenario. Funny how the rate of winning might even spike cause we have already have the mindset that there’s no other alternative to survive so we must make good use of what we have in our possession which is gambling , but still losses can’t be neglected because no matter what losses will be inevitable.

Well, obviously since we human beings managed to get together and create settlements, we started to dominate agriculture and also do other activities, which were usual in civilizations or in small towns where people engaged with exchange of their good for other goods or services, by that time we were already gambling with primitive dices.
Also it is interesting how people believed that the outcome of gambling sessions were the result of divinity: the first gamblers interpreted their success with the blessing of their gods, on the other hand, if they lost then it was assumed gods did not have that person in good favor.

The only thing that would then be the true issue is that there is no better opportunity and gambling is merely the alternative to it. I support the fact that gambling is never a stable source of income since it is founded on chances, and probability rather than stability and productiveness. Although there is the chance of making huge gains in the short run, the long-term truth of the matter is that the house always wins. It might seem tempting to call it a simple method of getting money but it is equally easy to lose everything in a short period of time.

Yes, it is clear that with the statement that gambling is not a stable source of income so you should not make it a reference to make a profit considering that gambling profits are largely dependent on luck that we can get by occasionally not certainly will continue to be obtained consistently. In addition, the chances that we have are not large and it cannot be changed so it is true that you say in the long run, of course, the bookie is the role that will always win in gambling. Luckily gambling is not the only alternative in life to make a profit, I can't imagine what would happen if gambling really became the only alternative to make a profit.
