Gambling is a waste of money, a woman said but life proved her wrong

[len01]

Sometimes a huge stroke of luck comes to someone who never intended to gamble.

Everyone has their own level of luck. Even if we place bets consistently, just once a week, there is no guarantee that we'll ever hit a big win. On the other hand, someone who knows nothing about gambling and simply tries it once out of curiosity may end up getting extremely lucky.

However, unexpected wins like that can sometimes become the reason why a person turns into an active gambler.

What I also like about this is that the woman used just $10 for it which would be a very little amount of money to her.

She proved her point, but her husband also got proven to be right. This Is a case of trusting each other, or maybe her husband has been spending too much of their pocket money on tickets and lost all. She might just be the luck which the husband needed to win a Ticket. That's why in life we shouldn't always judge just because of what we hear others say. We know very well that gambling is risky, but if there are still people out there playing and there are so many people still gambling regardless of their losses, that should already tell us that there is a chance to win. You just have to believe in it and play responsibly. There's no guarantee that luck will fall on you some day, but when it does, it's gonna be good..

What I can tell about gambling is that it's not easy to predict. Anyone can become fortunate to the extend of making huge profits from gambling on games they never thought they could win. I have been a victim of this too and I know how it felt like winning when you never expected it to happen. Every gambler must understand that gambling is mostly based on luck.

She just enjoyed beginner's luck. This is the type of win that will make people assume that gambling is profitable, which could lead to over gambling. Lotteries have the lowest chance of winning, as many people have played them for many years and won nothing substantial. I have known an elderly man who has been a committed lottery player for close to forty years and never won big. Newbies in gambling shouldn't see this story as motivation because it happens rarely.

I will say that a big win can attract alot of attention, but it do not tell the full story. You see people usually hear about the winners but don't hear about the huge number of others that plays regularly and haven't recover the money they have spend. That's why when it comes to gambling story it should be or supposed to be seen as  exceptions and not expectations. If you keep on depending on luck as a long term plan it can easily lead to disappointment when the results don't come out as planned.

You're right, luck has a way of turning things around for gamblers, many persons that have won in gambling especially sports bettors won games they never expected that will come through for them which you have pointed out so if I see someone say somethings about gambling angrily I don't blame them because that's how they feel.personally I have always known that gambing is a game of luck and nothing will make me change such mindset, I think the reason why some gamblers take things personal is lack of understanding and seeing gambling for what it is not.

That is one of a hundred million case. It's a very rare thing to happen for someone who wants to teach a lesson that gambling isn't worth it but, life happens. And that's the opposite that what fate wants to tell her to her husband. She's too lucky for that and even it had happened 10 years ago. That can still happen again for someone who's trying to make a point that gambling shouldn't be done and yet, luck just strikes them positively.

Gambling is very risky, those that are using it to look for money are losing, but there are times someone that is not looking for money through it might be lucky despite the little chance that seems impossible.

It was very good for him and he was very lucky. But very few people win money from the lottery, so the woman was right. And the huge amount of rewards will likely attract a lot more, which is likely to become addictive gradually. But even if his ticket price is 10 dollars, there is a 99% chance of losing. However, such lotteries are risky. So don't be too optimistic. It can cause mental damage.

This is just how unexplainable gambling outcomes can be and which for a diehard gambler that has paved in with much efforts but nothing tangible is coming forth but someone who doesn't take it seriously, neither does he or she taking it anything that people should involve in, that's who you see gambling favouring with max jackpot.
The broader perspective on this is that winning a huge profit from gambling or being a successful gambler isn't about how consistently you gamble since a none gambler can just test it for the first time luckily hit something huge.

Gambling is definitely a waste of money for most people since most people don’t play smart. Don’t get me wrong, playing smart doesn’t necessarily mean you need to play to win all the time. Sometimes not playing is also a smart decision. The trick is to know when to avoid playing. If you can manage that then gambling stops being a harmful habit and it becomes something you enjoy doing without hurting yourself.

Gambling is always very  risky. And most gamblers gamble mainly to make money. This is normal. But they can not control themselves. I have seen many gamblers who have become addicted to gambling very quickly. And have finally lost everything.

Gambling depends on luck. If we are lucky, we can win big amounts. But most  of us are regular gamblers. Since we participate in  gambling regularly, we should set a  budget and be very careful about our spending. If money management is not good, we may become poor very quickly. The woman mentioned  was very lucky. She won 1  million in the lottery for just  10 dollars. She did not believe in gambling. But even then , luck helped her.

From this episode there is only one answer, one episode cannot define anything, gambling is completely random, it is based on luck and not on the pursuit of luck.
Luck can come at any time, even if you don't look for it (you might find a duffel bag full of gold bars while walking).
Jokes aside this episode is hilarious it's funny, but the title is on one side correct, gambling is a waste of money, I tell you yes in most cases.
I'm telling you this as a gambler, I do it because I like it and hope to win one day, but it basically doesn't support me to live gambling.

I agree with you. If it were easy to make perfect predictions in gambling, it would be a skill. Due to the uncertainty of the outcome, gamblers are always curious and expect to win with every bet. This expectation of winning makes gambling more attractive and if this situation continues regularly, you will soon become addicted. If you rely only on luck and do not try to win, it will be more negative for you and the amount of losses will increase. It is good to rely on luck, but if you try to win in gambling, the amount of losses can be reduced to a large extent.

What happened is a rare story of winning a lottery, but it's not unusual. I have heard a story about a guy who bet on a lottery for the first time, and he hit the jackpot.
There are stories of winning in gambling that are more surprising in real life than in fiction. Gambling is still a waste of money if your intention is to make money; not all bettors end up like this winning a jackpot in a bet to prove that gambling is a waste of time.
I hope the woman in the story will not become a gambler and waste the money that she won; she should consider it a blessing and use it to improve their family's welfare.

this thing is called luck, dumb luck
but these are things that practically happen 1 time in a billion, they don't always happen
otherwise it wouldn't be a big win anymore

for example in Italy there is the super enalotto game, too difficult to find the winning numbers, the jackpot goes up because no one wins even for entire months.

Gambling is a waste of money, a woman said to her husband, but life proved her wrong.

My understanding of the woman's statement is correct, because the view about gambling will bring and reflect a philosophical view, in gambling activities can give rise to various responses such as opportunity, value and also risk.

For this reason, we can understand that each individual has a different view, perhaps some people think that gambling is an activity and act of financial waste. In plain view, probability is generally seen as detrimental to the player.
But for others, gambling can be seen as a form of game, experience or we often hear from gamblers as entertainment.

For this reason, if we meet two individuals who are opposites, of course both of them view each other's lives as wrong.

[KiaKia]

Gambling is not a waste of money if you are here for liking the excitement and fun that comes from gambling, it can be an hobby without you hurting yourself.

I guess this woman's husband was doing too much and the mother earth decided to show her that her husband isn't just in luck after all, mother earth showed her that gambling is all about luck and. That same luck isn't far from her either.

Many people should be learning from this but rather they choose to see something else, this woman's story shows nothing than how lucky really works, you can gamble all the days of your life and win nothing significant and someone from somewhere comes and hit a jackpot.

There is no such thing as a person can always be profitable in gambling, everything in gambling depends on luck, so we must be careful in gambling. In gambling, experience, analysis or strategy can help in making decisions in some cases, but they never guarantee victory, in the end, gambling depends only on luck. And because of these, we should never try to cover our losses in gambling, those who want to cover their losses in gambling, they end up in more losses. So the reality is that the risk in gambling is never eliminated, so we have to be careful in these cases, gambling can never be considered a source of income, controlling yourself in gambling is the most important thing.

According to what I understand, gambling is a game designed for people to try their luck rather than a place to look for money. This, in my opinion, is one of the reasons why people who are not looking for money through gambling are sometimes lucky because they see gambling as what it was meant to be, and those who are looking for money through gambling are not getting it because they frequently make mistakes or bad decisions based on their emotions.

God works in mysterious ways.

It's just a coincidence if someone thinks that life gave them a lesson along with a million dollars, then why didn't it happen with a million others who probably bought lottery without any expectation. Big lotto win is rare and even if someone is buying lottery tickets everyday and still they can go without a big win at all, so just don't have any expectation with lottery for your own good.

This is the meaning of life. No one can predict what will happen in the next few minutes. Everything is possible, and anything is impossible.

I've booked a game for someone who made a request for it inside a school group. Just for the sake of it, I booked a 50-odd and another a 10-odd. I told him I prefer he bet on the 10-odd as it has a higher chance and shouldn't bet above a dollar. This guy played both games with $2. He won $100 on the 50-odd. A game that, if it were me, I may not play. That means I wont be winning.

Gambling is not a waste of time or money, because we intentionally go for it to get entertained, and I don't see any reason why entertainment should be seen as a waste of time or money when we value it to an extent, there are terms we need to satisfy ourselves and the desire we have towards anything that will give us the pleasure needed, gambling is not a do or die affairs, that is why we must be well-oriented about it and enjoy every bits in gambling experience for the purpose of having fun.
