Can gambling play a role changing life style?

[TomPluz]

And again, self-deception that you can get rich on gambling. If a person isn't ready for big money, then most likely after a sudden win - will return to the financial level he was at or worse.

Most of the people who are into gambling big time and even those people who we think their lives are changed by gambling for the better are actually living in an illusion which they themselves could not manage well...and so they will eventually end up in the dump dreaming of the time when things are on top and when they were still lucky. For me, a good gambler (that is, if there is one) should know that luck can come not all the time so when a person is winning big then he should be using the money not to continue gambling as the stacks are surely will not be always on his side...he should learn to invest and make money from the money he won. The problem is that gamblers are themselves lost in reality and they have their own worlds to contend with...until lightning will strike them back to the world we live in not anymore having the money and sometimes even losing the very pants he is wearing. For me, the one and only way to really make money with gambling is operating one...either legally or illegally.

Many people who gamble much sometime may not handle their money well. But those who make money from gambling runs gambling business, it is not compulsory. Some people who gamble with responsibility and use their winnings to invest to other ways and earn more money, I think they are on the right track. It is good for gamblers if they will control themselve and keep in mind when to stop instead trying to win losses or keep doing gambling when they are not still winning. Running gambling business weather it is legal or not is not only way to make money and can cause more problems for a gambler. Money making  from gambling is possible but it needs more discipline and planning.

Recently a friend of mine made a rapid change in his behavior. He does not do any business. There is no possibility of getting much money from the job either. When I asked him why he had changed so much, he told me about gambling, although he did not want to share his gambling with me at first after I repeatedly asked him, he informed me about it. He told me he lost a lot in gambling. But last few days ago he won a big amount of money from gambling. With the winnings, he made quite a few changes in his behavior that were easily replicated.

Have you ever found someone who suddenly won a large sum of money through gambling and changed his lifestyle with that money?

Naturally, when a new activity is introduced to a person's life, it brings a change in the person's lifestyle and gambling inclusive. When a person starts gambling, unknowingly to him his lifestyle changes even before he records a significant winning. In the event of him winning, that means he now has money and man inherently changes his way of life when he has money.

No wonder, it is believed that to know a man give him money. I have heard so many stories of how friends became enemies the moment one of them won in gambling. Also, there is a case of a woman who filed for divorce after she won the lottery. It is common to see people change when they have money regardless of the source of the money and gambling is not excluded.

It's the casino that is going to win eventually, even fly-by-night operators here in our country is making huge money from the gamblers. And we seldom see gamblers winning big against this casinos, and overall, take they will millions out of the gamblers every night before some lucky guy will win against them. If we play luck base games then chances are we are not going to make money. But let's say a game like poker, and we have seen pro poker players winning millions in tournament. But still though, just a handful of them, just 1% will become successful.

Have you ever found someone who suddenly won a large sum of money through gambling and changed his lifestyle with that money?

Yes I have found some of my local friends and one elder brother he don't have any job and also he do politics but he don't have earning from politics in this case he do gambling. And yes he have won many times large amount from his betting  But the saying goes that life is not easy for those who take up gambling as their primary occupation. He doesn't do any work while sitting, just gambling and after winning his big amount of funds he spends that money on unnecessary things and later he again borrows from people and runs away from his house after gambling and losing.

but does he change his lifestyle after winnings? or is it simple desire not to work and the belief that it's easier to "earn" gambling?

This is something that will definitely happen when someone makes gambling a job. One day they will indeed be able to win a very large amount, but that victory will not mean anything to them, because at the same time they will spend that money.

I often see your experience of seeing friends there in my environment. They always gamble and spend a lot of money, but when they win they will immediately spend it again and they will even dare to borrow money to gamble again.

In fact, gamblers play for fun and spend money earned from gambling on fun. And I don't see anything wrong here, but the mistake will be there if a person make the gambling his income sourcing and give up the income of hardworking, I don't mean that hardworking means only Cutting wood in the forest. Every kind of work like freelancing to everything all are under hard work.
One thing I believe that is the money that people have easily that was also go aways easily and quick.

Well way back in the 1970's I won money at the racetrack and purchased 1 pound of weed.  I became a pot dealer and for 9 months lived fairly nicely from the pot earnings. I was a kid in 1972 only 15. I had money from that race track into pot dealing score for about 9-10 month. April 1972 to my birthday in Jan of 1973.

Does not seem like much now, but at the time it was nice to always have money to do what I wanted.

Gamblers follow a lifestyle of luxury when they win big, which worsens when they start losing again. Those who can manage the big win money properly can take maximum advantage of such big win. I have also seen gamblers in my area who get more addicted to gambling when they get a big win so they can't keep the winnings and even sell their assets to gamble when they run out of money.

[Litzki1990]

A gambler's life will change through gambling when a gambler earns a lot of money while gambling and when a gambler loses all his money. If he gains extra wealth through gambling, he will try to live a much better life than he has lived in the past. On the other hand, when a very wealthy person gambles away all that he has, he must accept a relatively poor life even if he does not want to. Through these two, the gambler's life changes greatly, but even if the gambler made a temporary profit or the gambler gave a temporary loss, many times it will be seen that the gambler's life is changing a little.

That's precisely the problem, they gamble not to have fun but they expect very large returns every time they gamble. And another problem occurs when they get a big win, they don't enjoy it, but they continue to hope for an even bigger win, and what happens is the opposite, they lose the money from their win.

This is something that is wrong with a gambler which in the end leads them to an addiction that is difficult to stop.

True. A lot of gamblers turn their way into this scenario a never ending chase. This is the stage wherein they will be setting the goal to get more loses este more returns 😅 but unfortunately things will be different and will always ends so badly for them.

It's true that proper management is needed in this case, because most people will lose if they gamble, most people who gamble always have poor finances, only some people can make a profit and the profits are allocated to their business.

It's often thought that money changes people, but what if, its really just shows who they truly are. The idea that people suddenly turn bad with money might be too simple. It's more likely that having more money just gives people the chance to show their true colors. When friendships end or relationships break down after someone wins big in gambling or the lottery, it might not be the money's fault. These situations might just highlight what was always there, hidden without the money. So, it seems that winning from gambling doesn't change people as much as it allows them to be more openly themselves.

Your comments got me thinking. There also could be another side, the potential for positive change.
For example, experience of gambling can teach valuable life skills such as risk assessment, financial planning, and decision-making under pressure. For those who approach gambling with awareness and control, it can enhance their ability to navigate uncertainties not only in games but in life's many gambles.
In essence, while caution and responsibility are paramount, the world of gambling does hold the potential for positive life changes and personal development for those who navigate it wisely.
