Has this ongoing war changed your perspective on how you gamble?

[aioc]

It's been 14 days since the US and Israel forces attacked Iran. Although Iran's military capabilities are weakened, it bowed to continue the war and prolong the war, because its strategy is not to win the war but to prolong it. After all, a prolonged war will cost the US a lot of money.

The first six days of war in Iran cost U.S. taxpayers at least $11.3 billion in ammunition alone, according to Pentagon estimates reviewed by lawmakers, and experts say the final cost will only increase

How much is the Iran war costing taxpayers? Here's what estimates show

And to the world, the war against Iran has disrupted the energy supply of many countries, which will eventually collapse the economies of many countries relying on Middle East oil.

If you've been living in countries affected by the Middle East crisis, has this ongoing war changed your perspective on how you gamble? Did you take a break or minimise your gambling session so you can save for any eventualities that this war will bring?

[_act_]

What should this be about?

How can a war in Iran change someone's perspective about gambling? I see not correlation about these.

All the gambling sites that I am using and other gambling sites that have their presence on this forum are not affected. We can access them anytime of the day and they are all working as usual.

So what are you taking about?

The war is happening in the Middle East  but it's effect is distributed to everyone across the globe because it has brought increase in energy cost that is also affecting the cost of other things. However,  I don't feel any impact in my gambling due to the war, because I play according to budget which was already settled before the war began. Subsequently,  I don't know if it will affect my gambling in any significant ways but I'm ready to make adjustments where necessary to be able to gamble better.

Honestly, the effects of this war in felt globally directly or indirectly. I can related to the rising cost of energy and increasing cost of living in my country, especially for us who don't have constant electricity supply and have the augment with buying fuel the operate generators. Of course, It as had and impact in my budget allocations for discretionary spending's like gambling and surely I had to trim my gambling budget to balance out my increasing expenses and still have enough for allocation to savings.

I had a friend who are active on casino on Middle east but keeps playing daily. I think theres no relation to the war what could be the people perspective on it. Maybe the one will be affected are those on Iran that has been disrupted probably due to loss of connection of the internet or affected areas while war is ongoing.

Like the reputatable member Pooya87 whose been missing in action for days probably due to this cause he lives in Iran ( Just knew when skmeone posted about his absence.

[HustleZ]

War could have had an effect on traders who trade stocks and crypto which is directly affected by the War but I don't know how gambling is related to war?? As @_act_ said how could war and Gambling correlate.

If you elaborate a little what you mean then we'll be able to share our thoughts.

I should have moderated this thread, so I could delete this kind of response. I'm not talking about casinos, but how gamblers play
Did they take a vacation or minimise their playing time so they can save in case the economy gets worse?
Do check the others' replies compared to yours.
Anyway, I know you're a good poster, there could be time that we misinterpret things.

There's growing concern about the oil supply, and it will negatively affect our economy. So I minimise my playing days instead of playing 4 days a week, I now play 2 times a week. I'm riding a motorcycle to work, and gas prices keep rising every day. We are now 50% above last month's price.
I have no choice but to cut my allocation to gambling so I can transfer it to my gas allowance.

It will affect my gambling activities since my top priorities is to save my money as much as possible in preparation for the economic crisis. I’d rather double time on my job and extra income from side hustle rather than waste my time and money on gambling.

I will not seek an entertainment when my country is affected of the war since anytime a missile might struck near to my area.

I’m curious how do people living on those affected country react.

I think a recalculation of needs and finances needs to be done in situations like the current one. There's a possibility that the prices of basic necessities will also increase, which means that expenses will definitely rise as well. If with a modest salary, it meant there was still enough to set aside a little budget for gambling before, it seems now we need to recalculate again. There is a possibility of reducing the budget or even, if possible, temporarily stopping gambling activities.

My thoughts exactly, my wife is now complaining that her budget cannot keep up with the rising cost, it's easy for me to take a break, my eagerness to gamble can be killed by my wife's anger  .
This is the problem with countries that rely on oil; when there is an oil hike, the fare and delivery cost is increasing, and they will pass the cost on to the price of the goods.
This is the domino effect of the ongoing war; gamblers who cannot keep up will have to make an adjustment or change their mindset.

The war is happening in the Middle East but its impact is felt globally. The increase in the price of fuel has triggered inflation in many countries. In my nation, there has been a sudden hike in the price of essential commodities since the price of gas and fuel has increased.

This discussion just reminded me that I have to adjust some part of my monthly budget. Since the government has not increased salary it is essential now to cut the amount I spend on entertainment. And the gambling budget might be an area that will be affected by this war in Iran. I would have to focus on basic needs now until the economy stabilises.

[Shinpako09]

As of now, only gas prices are affected and other goods haven’t followed yet, so I still gamble the same. Our economy will surely be affected soon, and I might need to adjust my budget again. Maybe if things worsen in the coming months, I will lower my bankroll. But for now, I’m still gambling the same, though later I might have to put some of my gambling funds into more important things. During that time, I will control myself as best as I can, if not perfectly, then at least with minimal mistakes.

I was like, aha! What is this guy talking about? The first two paragraphs were just explaining how the war has been and he came to the lat paragraph to ask if the war has affected the gamblers' perception. This war has not affected the internet in the nearby countries to Iran and if there is internet gambling continues. And those middle East Countries are not part of the war so what is the concern of the Op with those countries. Op has not put his thread onto a logical way. Though the war affect prices of things. And only those casinos from there might be affected and not the once that have nothing to do with Iran war.

[ZeroVinsonN]

Personally I can't really say if this war has affected me in any way related to gambling, at the very least I haven't done any kind of gambling for a while now, I'm to busy and all, I haven't even been visiting my hobbies and if I'm not doing those there is no way I can have the time to be gambling but for others I think there are so many countries affected by this war, petroleum prices have skyrocketed in some of them making them spend more on basic things and spending that much on the important things will definitely reduce how much you spend on discretionaries, gambling can wait after all.

Shitposting, this is what it's all about!

So what are you taking about?

Opening a stupid topic, trying to fish some merit maybe , or he has some serious issues that need specialized help!

I should have moderated this thread, so I could delete this kind of response.

Or you could trash it right away since it's such an idiotic topic, anyone with a functional synapse is screaming in pain reading it!

Soon all goods that relies on oil will be affected. In my area, Even water cost was already increased since water company use diesel for the water pumps that already almost doubled the price now compared before the war.

I think it’s best to save now snd prepare to what will come since the war will be longer as US can’t end what they started while Iran is now targeting oil companies on the Middle east.

I already decreased my gambling activities since day 1 of the war instead I already full tank all my vehicle.

[JoyMarsha]

We must not relate the ongoing war to everything such as gambling. Gambling and war do not correlate as _act_ has said. Let's for once not link the ongoing war with the little things we do from our own side because where some of us are, we are living our normal life and gambling the way we can and nothing has changed in how we gamble.

[Gabbylee]

If it were to be cryptocurrency trading or stock trading, I'd have agreed, but the war has no impact on gambling.

I'm thinking of a way on how can I connect the two but TBH, I can't. I wonder how OP could connect these 2.

Can you please elaborate it more OP as to how the ongoing war will change our perspective when it comes to how we gamble? We are having a hard time connecting the two. Well just to answer your question, nothing will change. The war between these countries will not make me change on how often do I gamble. I'll gamble whenever I have the spare money. I'll gamble despite of having a war between countries. I will gamble as long as I have time to do it.
