Can gambling play a role changing life style?

[Celsius]

Rarely does a gambler get a life changing opportunity from gambling especially when a gambler wins a big jackpot it can change their life but the number is very small and to my knowledge I have never seen a person win a jackpot.  However, I have seen many gamblers go through gambling bankruptcies and lead a miserable life, many gamblers abuse their wives to manage gambling money, I have seen many gamblers engage in heinous acts like theft, robbery and kidnapping to manage gambling money.  So for now I am not a believer that gambling changes people's life style but I will always give proper advice to people to stop gambling and lead a right life.

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 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?

It could happen and this is very possible.
When someone gambles, there are two effects:
- worsen someone's ondis
- make someone's personality much better.

And in this case, this will depend on how someone wants to gamble. because, gambling is something that has a very high risk. So, if you lose, you lose, and if you lose, you win. Maybe if someone changes their living area and earns a lot of money from gambling, isn't that good enough?
However, if it is a consecutive and very large defeat, then this will actually be a problem.

And related to the effects in real life, namely how they can be held accountable for their gambling activities. If you lose a lot and end up going bankrupt, then that will actually add to your stress and depression, right?

But if it is related to the amount of money he earns from gambling, then hopefully he can manage it well. Because this situation also makes it possible for him to fall into the trap of gambling addiction as well and be quite serious in the future.

I have not found anyone in my neighborhood and my circle of friends who has been able to change his life so quickly through gambling. But I've heard many stories of people changing their lives drastically through gambling. But yes, since gambling is entirely based on luck, the person you quoted managed to change his life a lot by trying his best. But if this person gambles regularly and responsibly, he may be able to make good use of his money, otherwise he may not be able to manage his life well later on. Because just as much money can be made very easily through gambling, money can also be lost very easily and very quickly.

Gambling definitely leads to a change in style and habits, as you need to have certain character and lifestyle traits to participate in gambling. A player must be calm, for example - and this can only be achieved through autotraining - which means that you need to systematically exercise yourself

[philipma1957]

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.

It certainly can crush you financially. If you are gambling a steady amount you likely are losing a steady amount.

What you've said is entirely true but you've also forgotten the negative influences of gambling and only focused on the positive influences.
Have you ever noticed that most gamblers are often very secretive and confidential, especially towards their spouse and people closest to them.
Even when they weren't initially that way, but due to fear of being criticized and the stigma that comes with gambling, they become quite secretive in order to be able to cover their tracks. That my friend is a negative influence.

General money changes people. There is an amount of money a friend can make in their life, they have a change of character towards their friends.

I am no longer surprised when a friend I know before starts to have a change of character because of how fortunate they are to make money from their business or other areas I don't know of. I am no longer surprised by all that because I have seen such a thing happen countless times, and I take it as a normal behavior that one gets to see from their friends who have made it in life more than them "financially''

I believe most of the time gambling do have negative impact in one's personal and professional life. In gambling apart from a few lucky ones the majority of cases people lose their money and it makes them frustrated. As a result they start behaving aggressively with other  family members and friends, it also affects other spheres of life negatively.

Most gamblers do not like gambling in open environment because they try to keep their gambling secret. And there are reasons for secrecy, one of which is that gambling is socially ignored. The reason for saying this is that in gambling no one can know about their wins and losses just as no one gambles by telling everyone. When we lose we tell others about our loss but never when we win. And this is why most of the time we don't know about people's big wins in gambling. Because of which we do not understand the change of gambler. If the wins were shared as well as the losses then the real statistics will be shown.

Money is one of the easiest things to influence a change in behavior. An individual may start exhibiting behaviors you never knew existed just after they've won a very huge amount of money. He often said that money brings out the real character of an individual, and that is not a lie.

The reason for saying this is that in gambling no one can know about their wins and losses just as no one gambles by telling everyone. When we lose we tell others about our loss but never when we win. And this is why most of the time we don't know about people's big wins in gambling.

If you are a regular gambler who has a friend who gambles regularly and you gamble together, sharing games between yourself will be normal, and you will know when they win from gambling. Also, there is an amount of money that you win from gambling when everyone knows you are a gambler. It will be difficult to hide it unless you invest all the money digitally without spending a dime on any personal physical needs that will draw attention.

And people seem to be elaborating more on the positive impact and influence of gambling on a gambler and forget about the negatives, which is even the most important one to be discussed, people needs to know the dangers and risks attached to gambling and how people can at least try to avoid or minimize these risks in order for it not to affect them or for them not to fall victim of those said negative reflexes.

Yes, instead of focusing only on the positive aspects, one should also focus on the negative side. So that a gambler knows well both the good and the bad. Considering only the positive aspects, there is actually loss rather than profit. Lucky gamblers can change their lifestyle. But not everyone is so lucky. So gambling by following others can lead to major disaster. Gamblers can protect themselves from unexpected disasters by prioritizing enjoyment rather than expecting much from gambling.

Most certainly, there'll always be unexpected disasters when it comes to gambling, when you always expect the losses to always come at all time, It can at least give a kickstart to knowing how to manage the risks involved in gambling and how to make informed decisions while gambling.
I've always believed that too much expectations births disappointment. If you're simply just playing and don't even have the expectations of winning, trust me, whether you win or lose, it'll make no difference.
Always hope for the best but expect the worst while gambling.

They must have a lot of money to consider gambling for fun and i don't know someone in real life that goes to a casino to have fun, most of them went to the casino to play and win so i can say that gambling will really affect our life style as it will lead to financial difficulties, even millionaires are affected by this. Those gamblers who are lucky and won substantial amount of money, they will always go back to gambling and loss their winnings in the long run.

I go to offline casino for fun. I dont do it really regularly, but maybe once in few months I visit casinos. I dont know where you spend time with your friends, but instead of going on a barbeque for example, or meet in bars, we meet sometimes in casinos. Lets say you want to chat with friends, where do you usually do this? We do it in a game of offline poker (might sound that I am a real deal gambler, but it is not). You chat, have fun and gambling episodes only add extra fun, plus get some drinks, which are sometimes free. Why not go on a concert and spend $50-100 on a ticket to hand out with friends, when you can do the same for the same money.
