Is gambling really for everyone?

[Rabata]

Well, I would say that not everyone is suitable for gambling. Because there is no guarantee of profit and many people cannot control their emotions when they lose several times in a row. Then, trying to recoup the loss leads to even bigger wrong decisions, which is contrary to the basic idea of ​​responsible gambling. Many people get angry after losing for the first time, and some people cannot stop even after winning. Therefore you should not gamble only if you have the hope of winning. You must first have the mentality of respecting your own limits, otherwise in the end the losses are greater.

Now the main thing is that no one should gamble irresponsibly. At the beginning of gambling, people have a certain mindset and with time their mindset changes. Because all gamblers initially bet for entertainment or to test their luck, but if someone wins once, the greed that arises from it makes them love gambling. And if they lose, it is not like everyone gets angry and quits betting. They keep betting again to recover the money they lost. Therefore, while gambling, betting should be done responsibly from the beginning.

Yes, gambling is not for everyone, particularly for those with a family history of dopamine issues. However, only a small percentage of gamblers have the time to properly research or comprehend how to gamble profitably first, because the majority of gamblers are always focused on the opportunity to make money.

True, gambling is not for everyone and forcing oneself to do what its not their thing can cause some destruction in their plans and their lives as well, as its better to walk away or learn how to manage and control their emotions if they can't stop gambling because gambling is a game that requires one to take it like a way of being entertain by it, as it won't be a problem if one takes it like that but when one divert their focus into making it to be a way that can make them become rich and to avoid those problems one gets to understand and be ready to accept anything from the game.

Indeed, if you can't control yourself I mean if you know by yourself that you are not capable in  maintaining your position, gambling is not for you, as you said, once greed dominated inside your mind the chance of getting addicted is not by far, usually gambler's intension when they first step inside casino is to test their luck and enjoy, but once they already experienced the fun and excitement plus whether they win or they lose there's changes in their mind that rush their adrenaline, that lust and desire can lead them to exceed from their supposed allocated time and budget and the balance will be break leading them to addiction.

This right here reminded me of the time I was studying addiction and I got to learn about dopamine’s role and also the parts of the brain that are responsible for addiction and also a topic here some time ago about some scientists who were researching about a drug that affects the nucleus accumbens.

Like you said, only a few people know the state of their dopamine and also how that part of their brain is so it’s until they are addicted that they state to run tests that touch that area.

It is true that gambling can never be for everyone, because gambling is not something that becomes a necessity in a person's life. I think gambling is only good for entertainment, the risk of losing money by gambling excessively can increase manifold, so it is better to gamble for entertainment purposes with the money we can afford to lose, as this helps us maintain self-control and protect ourselves from big losses.

Gambling is not for everyone, from the two examples you gave it is crystal clear who is a gambler and who is not and that is how we are suppose to be accessing the real gambler.

The first example shows the real gambler while the second example shows he his not a real gambler, he gambling for the money and that is why when he kept on losing he was angry, but the other one continued despite the losses and he made it big at last.

Exactly!! Let's say to another individual it seems like gambling as an entertainment and to other people it might still be gambling for income…the truth is that when it gets dangerous the moment it is now gambling for income like some mindset of using gambling to pay bills using it to want to pay house rent and all that, this is where it becomes dangerous and should not be for anyone no matter what…Gambling makes you think that it was designed to make you rich but it is designed to be unpredictable…

Absolutely, the way one react to when they lose or win shows how responsible they are when gambling which gives them the mindset or perspective to ensure that they keep their emotions in controlled, as it won't decide or push them into doing what they are not meant to do, as in for them to play the game with the mindset that shouldn't be apply to gambling because it will cause them more damage to their lives and as well put them in a mood that will affect their emotions.

Even without the examples op gave anyone who understand the core concept of gambling will know those who are gamblers and those who are not gamblers. A real gambler don't bet with the intention of making money from gambling, they bet in other to test thier ability, if their Prediction didn't work perfectly they will smile and then move on, you can't see them panicking or even chasing after losses because they are not desperate to win from gamble. Sometimes we use to doubt it when someone Said they had fun in gamble, if you're not desperate to win from gamble trust me you're going to enjoy the game.

If you choose to approach gambling with emotions like anger, you only will get pained.

You can't be angry at the casino for your misfortune, such acts only makes you do terrible things. Some gamblers even revenge their losses because they feel they were cheated by the casino.

When you understand that these games are won based on luck, it becomes different how you think or see them. A real gambler handles his emotions and make sure it doesn't get out of control

[kawetsriyanto]

In my own personal opinion, I think gambling is not for everyone. Those who are real gamblers understand that gambling is not favourable all the time, and sometimes it involves losses, and sometimes you will also make wins.

It isn't your personal opinion only, but it is a common assumption that gambling isn't for everyone.
We have discussed many times that gambling is for the people who have good self-control only. It isn't for the people who have weak mentality and have no self-control. Weak people mostly end up with addiction and financial problem. So, it is better to forget gambling if someone still has no self-control.

Anyway, each person must be aware of possible losses. But they sometimes don't care and do it with careless ways. This happens if someone has no awareness and self-control. They don't know how to treat gambling properly.

So, this prompted to ask this question if gambling is for everyone?

I assume the answer is clear enough. Sure, gambling isn't for each individual due to some reasons.

[Solodoski]

Gambling is not for everyone.

People react to gambling differently. Some are comfortable after a loss, while some get emotional after a loss.

Gambling is not for the underage. An individual must be 18 years of age or above to get permission to gamble.

Finances are a part to be concerned about. Poor people shouldn't be gambling. It disrupts them unable to come out of the poverty situation.

Gambling creates bad conditions for people, if those who are children of poor families gamble, they cannot escape from their poor families. They have to spend their whole lives in poverty, so gambling is not enough for everyone. Those who like to gamble and like to earn money from gambling never get anything good at the end of the day. It is true that one cannot be emotional when gambling, one must forget the lost thing for a moment,
then gambling is possible for that person and the addiction to gambling will be less. People who cannot lose can never register themselves in gambling, so gambling always poses a danger to emotional people.

[Julien_Olynpic]

Of course, gambling isn't suitable for everyone. In fact, it's especially unsuitable for those who lack responsible money management skills. Secondly, gambling isn't suitable for those who are overly emotional or overly irrational. In fact, anyone with cognitive distortions about money or gambling is a potential victim and potential problem gambler, so it's best for them to avoid gambling.

[Orpichukwu]

This is what most gamblers says that they are gambling for entertainment purposes but at last they often turns into addiction, of course no gamblers today that would say they are gambling for profits instead, they would say that they're gambling for entertainment but deep.down they are gambling for profits.
They would be that ashamed to expose themselves as someone who is gambling for profits instead would point out for gambling for entertainment.

Not all gamblers are cowards and don’t want to admit their true purpose of gambling, like me. Now I can’t say the only purpose of my gambling is for the fun alone; that will be a big lie that I’m telling myself. The hope that I can gain something also is part of the motivation. Where the addiction comes in is when the player loses control; it doesn't matter their purpose of gambling once they can’t control it. Their chance of getting addicted is high.

Most people really hides their intentions because they are afraid that people will judge them by their actions, but that one simple thing can also drag them into something worse, while they are saying its for fun they are already dreaming of winning and spending the money, the problem is the result is different they are the one who are being drain by this casino or gambling establishments, from fun or entertainment into something a person worse nightmare, gambling should really be approach with caution because once you are in their no turning back.

[TedMosby]

No, gambling is not for everyone, especially people who think of gambling as a way to make money from the beginning. Gambling is also not for everyone who can easily get addicted to it. Gambling is for people who can control themselves and know when, where, and how to gamble "safely". People also need to have the mindset that the gameplay is based on luck, chance, and randomness, not on predicting the next outcome based on the previous one.

I also read that people with lower incomes are affected more severely than people with higher incomes. So maybe we can say that gambling is also not for people with low incomes[?]

Unfortunately, not everyone who gambles may realize this. They actually don’t prepare themselves mentally or financially before they start gambling. So their gambling will never be under control. That’s what makes gamblers end up falling into the illusion of seeking pleasure from gambling.

Exactly, same thoughts. I even met someone personally who told me seriously why they are gambling - it's because they are in need financially. So for me, the first thing that came to mind is, their way to solve their financial problem - gambling. Whereas for me, it's kinda fast and easy solution at all, but it's not guaranteed.
Especially if you already have other problems.

That is the worse solution to a problem, you are not sure if you are going to when maybe he is looking at the jackpot and don't care about the money he is going to lose in gambling, they are blinded by the reality that if they can't win, all the money spend will be just go to waste, and aside from that the stress its going to bring to a person, some people don't realized that gambling only bring worse situation, if you got lucky yes, its a one time experience, but if not that's the result of being greedy.
