If gambling where the only alternatives would you gamble?

[GIF-JOBS]

It all boils down to being disciplined as a gambler, whether you’re gambling for profits or you’re merely gambling for entertainment, being disciplined is key to safe gambling. Knowing that the goal isn’t to prioritize winning but to place the entertainment at the forefront. Even for one who’s seeking profit, like the pro gamblers, they still discipline, in fact they need it even more because they’re taking the most risk in gambling and the slightest mistake can cause the most damage and it’s only discipline that can save them from making such costly mistakes.

I agree that discipline is key, but gambling for profit usually means that people are not disciplined in doing it and tend to do it blindly without thinking about the risks or discipline. Only truly disciplined people can gamble for the sake of enjoyment without prioritizing winning in every bet. Because, in reality, more people prioritize profit—sometimes I was like that too—but now I feel fortunate because I was able to quickly realize it and stop.

And this awareness is very important for everyone, but it is not present in everyone. In the case of those whose purpose is beyond entertainment, that is, those who come here for financial success, it is never possible to maintain discipline and limits. Because they do not have the tendency to accept losses, as a result, even if they lose, they become desperate to recover the loss, in the end their gaming activity reaches a very aggressive side, instead of stopping despite the loss, they develop a tendency to play more and thus they start to lose. That is why the main thing here is to first understand your mentality, why do you come to gamble? For entertainment or to make money? And based on this, the responsible ones can keep themselves in control, and others lose everything.

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 that's the option I sure will opt for it. Its just gambling and there's no big requirements that I have to run about and be so much expectant of. Gambling doesn't require any illegal activity that would require you to hide here and there. What i now need to do to het more likenesses fornthe work is to.develope a passion for it. By that im sure there's going to be a natural way of enjoying the gambling and attracting good results after a gamble.

Means of income, that means that gambling can generate something to leave on as an individual, but then we all know the truth about gambling that you will have to lose a lot more than you win and if that should be the case, how sustainable is gambling then as a source?
Gambling is the last thing on my list of to do if I am to work towards earning any income since I know how hard and impossible that will be.

[JoyMarsha]

In a world like this, if gambling is the only means of income to humans, you know that a whole lot will change about gambling. It will not be the same way it is, that you lose a bet, your money is gone without any chance of getting it back. There will be some other way to go about it, a gambler loses a bet, a chance of recovery is there to try a few times. Because losing more than winning in gambling can make someone lose their mind if they are not recovering their losses from what they see as a source of income

Most people have the mindset of wanting to become rich through gambling, which has made people to have another perspective of gambling and this has made so many of them to make decisions that will not be of good tides to their lives instead it will cause them more of harm.

Unfortunately, that's how it is for addicted gamblers who think that gambling is their source of income, ignoring the fact that their profit is negative. They want gambling were their source of income, they always it will be soon, but in reality they are losing more and more. I think, in the world where gambling was the only source of income we'd have a lot of such people too. Not more then 10% of all people, though.

I believe that in case gambling becomes the one and only source of income, it would not be the same as it is nowadays as a completely luck-based system would soon shatter the society. Although I would agree that already addicted gamblers would turn it into an income even with consistent losses, it would probably grow, not remain at 10 percent, as this is a survival strategy. Meanwhile, it would require the system to have features such as partial recovery, skills, or limit of loss to ensure that no one goes bankrupt. Otherwise, there would be an overall lack of stability, stress, and mental breakdowns among a major segment of the population due to the presence of constant losses that are not cushioned by any security net.

[danherbias07]

You are right to say no assurance, but I'll have to say that, many people take it as a source of income, and I'm not talking about casino owners or bookmakers, I'm talking about bettors themselves, there are other forms of gambling too, and some people are just so good, skilled, experienced, and disciplined that they have come up with different strategies and ways to keep earning from gambling almost consistently, I have met a few and it is honestly working for them, although I know from time to time, they have other side gigs, but gambling is like a huge part of their source of income.

For example there are some good poker players, some professional sports analyst (across all sports) that can predict the outcome of games with high probability of accuracy across different leagues, arbitrage betting e.t.c, it isn't an easy road, likewise so many other careers but with deep knowledge, discipline and good enough bankroll, some people take it as a career.

Yeah, I have a friend who plays poker, and it's like one of his sources of income because he plays in weekly tournaments, and he always posts it on social media to acquire some managers who will take part in the entry fee. There was a time I asked him about that, but I was late, and the spots were filled. I dared to try and invest because I know he is a good player and his history tells it. He is always in the top 3 during poker tournaments, and sometimes he wins it all.

It's a physical poker, though. I do believe it can happen there, but I doubt it can in online casinos and slots.

Gambling isn't a sustainable source of income,you could get lucky and win a huge amount of money at one point in your gambling career that might carry you through the rest of your life, but let's be sincere with ourselves, the chances of hitting a big win like that is no where near as likely as not winning anything substantial is, if gambling was the only alternative then I wouldn't have enough money to gambling with, I would already be too broke to be able to gamble again.

Sure everyone would be interested in participating. But it's kinda funny how sometimes I think of every thing provided it's a source of money as gamble, the difference is the amount of risk we expose ourselves to. Sometimes we forget that leaving our houses is risky and staying in it without doing anything to fetch you money is also risk so either life is all about risk but for real jobs, we tend to put ourselves at risk more than our money. Take for instance someone working offshore, indeed their salaries are attractive but that's because of the level of risk they expose their body to, inhaling some of those toxic chemicals can cause ling term organ deterioration and when it's time for retirement at old age you just discovered so many health challenges.

Frankly speaking, the idea of gambling as the only way to make a living is very tempting, and it does not require a 9-5 schedule and any special education. I know about the concept of building up a passion towards it, which would make the process more natural and even even enjoyable. The fact is however, that gambling is very risky, and the chances are not in favor of regular profit. Although this is normal to the society, living by luck cannot be sustained. Provided that this is the only choice I may temporarily become a gambler, but I would also seek alternatives to develop any competencies or prospects that are not related to the gambling game or this game will soon become a dead end.

It is very risky to make sure that your only source of income is a game on which your life depends, because the game does not give you a certainty, it depends on chance, sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are unlucky. There are skill games that maybe help, but there too luck counts.

However is own case was different and so annoying because he has already gotten the opportunity he needed but greed couldn't let him be. So what am saying in essence is that gamble is meant for what is being meant for which is fun, therefore doing otherwise by seeing it the other way round Is simply doing yourself more harm than good.

To be honest, gambling is not a problem as such but more when we start taking it as a reliance. Then people can no longer think clearly and the decision making is based largely on emotions. When you do it to have fun, there is a limit people know when to stop. But when it is considered as the means of incomes, that limit is gradually lost then even small losses become big and in the end you realize that the amount of losses is greater.

[DiMarxist]

There can't be a time when Gambling will be the only way for survival. I don't think so the way to surviving has been work you can't be talking about surviving when you are not working, you have to find a way a generate money because hoping on gambling to give you money is doing yourself no favour. I will gamble for the sake of leisure but not as an option or a way of survival because, I know that Gambling is designed by the Casino to take money away from the gambler because, it a money making venture set up to generate profit.

Exactly, the whole gambling ethics will change because people can't be losing money all the time and call it a source of income, like how will people even survive. If gambling was the only source of income it would have been made easier for people to win, the losing rate would have been minimized. It would have also have some kind of policies such that there must be something that will qualify people to gamble. Not everyone would have gotten access to gamble even without age limitation. Maybe it would have been programmed in such a way that even if you lose, a small percentage would be returned back to you from your staking amount. I think there was a betting company that was doing that years ago such that when you lose they will return back part of the money you staked with, i don't know if there is any gambling site that is doing that now.

If gambling is the only source of income, where will people get money to gamble? You have asked an unrealistic question that has no answer. We need a source of income to gamble so that we can build a bankroll. If we do not have a source of income and cannot build a bankroll, will we gamble with leaves? Or will we gamble with paper?

If I give an unrealistic answer, if gambling is the only source of income, then we will not call it gambling. Rather, it will be considered as your source of income. Everyone has to gamble for a living, whether you are a gambler or not.

Gambling cannot be meant for survival but based on the topic it is just an assumption, if gambling were the only alternative it is really a difficult question because there are people that have zero interest in gambling, if it becomes the only option such people might end up losing because they don't have any interest in gambling. But like even if they know they might not benefit from it they would have no other option

[JoyceBTC]

I won’t lie if gambling was the only source of income available I would rather do it than remain idle. I know it 50/50 and something of luck, which can be draining at times, but I will continue trying until I get lucky. But I’m never praying for that kind of situation because it will turn so many people useless.

It is not actually stated anywhere that someone will have to lose more than win, though it can be a case for some people or some people have experienced that but it is not an absolute fact. Gambling is risky yes, we are aware but it doesn't mean someone will lose .more before win because there are people who has more win than loss and there also people who has more loss than win so it is actually two sided something and luck is what matters the most in gambling and this is the reason  why someone should not use or take gambling as a means of survival.

What is the assurance of people that will bet small and then expect something bigger. Remember, if you stake small amount of money and want good return you have to risk it with games that likely not let you win and that reduces your chances of winning. If you bet small and your risk is small, the outcome is going to be small pay out and if you decided to bet small money with high risk, the reward will be big but your chance of winning will be low.

All this combined is why gambling is complicated. It's not good for anyone to depend on gambling for living unless it's working for you. I can't dispute that gambling doesn't work for some people, it actually does. Some people are exceptional when it comes to gambling online, they know how to make moves and when they do, they know the things to play and make the money but this people are few in numbers and it's not good to compare oneself with them.
