Title: "I'm done with gambling, but"
Post by: DabsPoorVersion on January 14, 2024, 02:21:30 PM
I have seen this Instagram reel (https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1_JaeILWh0/?fbclid=IwAR1de-bqGneY9lGZ97GTuPwK3OKT05ZtWZQHwK0wsXxNheMd9JWoBNV4lkQ) about a certain gambler with a text on his video "I think I'm done with gambling forever."

So, the man sold his stove for $200 to pay for his rent. However, despite his intentions, he was unable to resist the urge to gamble. He used the money to bet and ended up losing it all. Despite the setback, he found another way to get money and began gambling again.

The money was lost again and has left with only $50. He then tries his luck one another time. In the end, he finally won a huge sum of money.

I know this may be just another random video on Instagram, but it does happen in real life.

If you are in his situation, are you going to risk your rent fee to have a chance of making more money?

It is a very bad habit to gamble with money meant for something else. Gambling should be done with spare money due to the uncertainty and low probability of winning which characterize it.

Gambling addiction is the cause of extreme gambling which is the push to gamble in any situation without prior consideration of the implication of losing.

I will never subject myself to such pressure because winning is never guaranteed hence he should count himself lucky because most times you will end up not winning and then exhibit a wrongful attitude which becomes troubling to others.

No, the guy just got extremely lucky, he even stole from other people(though I am not sure if that's real) to continue his gambling, next time he is in the same situation it might not go well for him and ends up homeless.

I have a feeling this situation will boost his ego to continue gambling and forget what situation he was in before. good luck to him.

When I gamble I am addicted to gambling and stop gambling if I face a loss. If you are more addicted to gambling, there is a risk of loss. The man brings up his rent almost at the end, and in the end though wins is a good sign.  But you notice that if the person had lost gambling for the last time, that person would have been fulfilled. So I think it is not good to have excessive greed in gambling, people should stop gambling before they are created.

Gambling should not be a means to make profit but a means of entertainment and this is why most gambl8get the whole concept of gambling wrong. I will not use my house rent to gamble because shelter is a basic need and gambling does not add value to my life, which means that it is not important. It is good to gamble but only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford toose, so that you don't end up in regrets and frustration. The guy was lucky and he might not be lucky tomorrow, that doesn't mean that he did the right thing.

Indeed, we can't always say we're lucky to win the money we need. When people who need funds try to double their money through gambling, they often end up losing everything they have. This can include money they were relying on for important things like medical bills for loved ones or other urgent situations. It is important to remember that gambling should not be relied upon as a reliable source of income.

It is important for all gamblers to understand that only extra money should be used for gambling. Money that is allocated for bills and other important expenses should not be considered as available money for gambling. Using this money will only result in losses instead of profits.

Yes, gamblers don't remember what they have been through. When they win there is this feeling of fulfillment that takes away all the negative feelings from them and that is why no matter how bad it gets, an addicted gambler will always gamble. As you have noted, he will gamble again and might even stake higher because gamblers don't keep records of their woes.

Is there anything like extra money? If extra money is encouraged to be used in gambling then what goes to savings? I prefer saying "Use the money you can afford to lose". On the other reasoning, only the rich should gamble if we are advocating that only extra money should be used for gambling because a poor man can never have extra money.

True, money meant for bills and expenses is not even ours so using it for gambling will be detrimental to us. Such money should never be used for gambling. Sometimes luck can fall on someone and then he will profit from it but that's just 2% that can have such luck hence attempt should never be made to use money meant for something to gamble.

Most times, alot of people forget to understand that gambling is risky. Once you've set aside a goal to accomplish with a certain amount, you should see to is that you avoid gambling on that funds hoping to get it back or earn some more. The moment this taught gets on your mind, you should hope that luck gets on your side. Spending funds that were meant solve some necessity on gambling, will only yield you more problems to counter with. You should be wise enough to avoid such irresponsible decisions. From the story you've shared, I will say that the man is irresponsible and addicted already. If not, in the first place I see no reason why I should gamble with a money meant for rentage. We should be wise in making these decisions as they may affect us negatively.

I wouldn't but a person who thinks he has nothing better do might do it.

I don't know but I don't think situations like that should be posted on social media. It will only encourage some hopeless gamblers to bet more. That lucky winner will eventually lose everything to gambling if nobody is going to intervene. If he's addicted like that when he had little money, what do you think he'll do with more money?

This may sound weird, but if I was in his situation, I think I would do the same. I will try explain why. If I am in situation, when selling stove is a solution, not working, not searching for freelance or part time job, not trying to get a loan from a friend, but selling stove (who would buy used stove anyway?) means I am ready to do something freaky, something unusual. If I have already done one strange act, nothing stops me from making another weird decision.

If we talk serious, I am sure (I hope) that I am smart enough not to go so deep into gambling, that I would have to gamble for last money.

Logically I wouldn't do that, risking rent money for gambling is reckless, what if we can't get money in other ways while the money at stake has already been lost? This will be your scream.

It's enough to say that the guy is very lucky, but it can't be said many times, besides, this is a random video, we never know what their real life is like, maybe they just want to attract the attention of their followers, that could be it.

Don't expect gambling for profit to change your life, it's clearly a factor of luck.

The truth is I would never do that because that is irresponsibility , things don't work out like that, but there are commitments to pay and something as important as rent, maybe my way of being is a little more old-fashioned , but I prefer to be like that , and don't be careless with the things that are so decisive, if you end up badly in one rental, they will hardly give you the option to stay in another, or to get something better, we are Always doing any type of activity in a job, everything is What to do based on responsibility for us to Understand how we can be responsible in every sense with everything.

Those and everything that has to do with the things that are for our well-being , we must do it and comply with everything, otherwise even though that player was very lucky, it is not recommended, I would not play with money to a Rent, it's a lot of risk , what if things seemed to go W? how would it have been done?

I say the guy was lucky with the last deposit but when he has won a large amount will he play again and increase his bet? Of course, when you win, curiosity will increase, that's when losing money will start.

The main thing is, don't do this stupid thing, because anyone who bets with hot money will be trapped when they lose and there is no longer any spare money, still for me I gamble just to have fun, nothing more than that and use cold money to do it.

If you are selling your possessions to fund your gambling, you probably need to seek some professional help. Gambling can be seen as an addiction if someone doesn't do it responsibly. Many have ruined their lives due to having a gambling problem.

People need to gamble for entertainment, not for a job or to try and make money.

The video is just content created to gain more followers and views but yes it happens in real life, I have seen so many gamblers in the hope of trying to save whatever is left in their pocket, these people are miserable they only rely on luck for their fate, they will soon be left with nothing if they continue to make this kind of decision.
I call these people victims of the bad things about gambling and an example of how a gambler should not behave, these people need help and they need help ASAP.

There are many things that some people do wrong, but I see two phrases that are used very badly:
-/one moment Marquee/-
  • Don't use money you can't afford to lose.
  • Use 5% (e,g) of your income.

It appears that many players use it as a shield to defend themselves from what they lose, and it turns out that this phrase is the beginning of the failure of many players.

The percentage of your income is 0%, do not take anything from your income, unless you are really an occasional player.
Then, the frequent player simply looks for additional income, and this additional income, if they are "candidates" for those two mentioned phrases.

In that line of ideas, there are many bad decisions or things that are misunderstood.

Yes, that is the truth. This only means that you have enough budget to provide for your other expenses such as bills, rent, and other things. You have enough money that will be kept and put into your savings account every month or every week, then you still have enough money to spend on yourself. This extra money can be used depending on your decision, without worrying about what fund you will use to pay bills or add to your savings. In short, this is the same as you said, the money you can afford to lose.

You may be able to control yourself after gambling but there are many people who cannot control themselves after gambling.  But only those who are wise can refrain and only those who are extremely greedy and deeply addicted to gambling cannot get out of gambling addiction.  But even though gambling is a bad habit, nowadays most people look forward to finding a pleasure in this forbidden profession.

No, I would never risk my rent money or the money that I need for my other daily needs in gambling because sometimes when our luck isn't good then we will lose all the money and don't get anything back.

I know that some people do take big risks but I don't really take big risks anyhow. I can reduce my expanses and play gambling with some money but I would never risk everything in hope to get huge money especially from gambling.

I know that you are familiar with "never say never", so... :)

 I think that you wont be in a situation when you would have to risk your rent money for something. I dont really think that the case OP described deserve a separate topic, as this is just an example of bad budgeting or being reckless to money, multiplied by gambling addiction. Media is full of stories with similar plot. I've read people done more crazy deeds when they had gambling problems.

We can speculate if we would do the same or not, however, we were not in that gamblers skin. We do not know full story, motives why he gamble, nuances. That is why so I wouldn't be so clear, that I would not do the same.

As a player if you stop gambling then I think it can be good for your future. When you go to a gambling platform and deposit your money and bet for betting purposes, you cannot tell whether you will win or lose. Most of the time people lose auth so you should always play carefully so that you don't lose the whole money. However, what you see in this video is how a man behaved, but he may have become more addicted to gambling and is selling his valuables to gamble. So it is better to stay away from betting and don't become addicted If you become addicted to gambling then you can never quit it rather you will face many problems. So the best thing you have done is to avoid gambling and I think if you invest without gambling your money will grow.

Taking the risk of gambling with the money that should be used for paying rent is not a wise decision. Although it's possible to multiply the money through gambling, the risk of losing the money is equally high. Personally, I would not choose to do the same as he did. Although he was lucky enough to have more opportunities to recover his losses, it's not always the case. Losing a significant amount of money can lead to more problems than one can handle. It's important to consider the potential consequences of such actions.

I don't think, there will be a situation that will offer itself for me to risk my house rent for gambling for the chance of winning from it.

If such kind of chance or thought is provided as the only option for me to recover my losses, I will decline it because I can't risk my house rent or money meant for an important thing to gambling that its chance to win is slim.

It is preferable to risk my money for what I know can be successful in a matter of time than risk my money for what, I don't have hope for, that I can have a victory in the short or long term. It will be either luck shines on me for me to win in it.

It was luck that shines on the gambler for the last time that made him win a huge money. Is not that other gamblers can have the same luck, in the same manner after losing all their money on gambling. So many people have bet their last money on gambling and still yet, they didn't win a dollar added to their account.

Again do you know how long he has been gambling till date? No I can't give accurate answer to this because s/he alone can say what he has passed through this phase before gotten this luck to win big time.

This is easier said. You can't need money and then talk about gambling for entertainment. Gambling for fun or entertainment is for people who have already made money.

In my opinion, a poor or middle class or even someone who is desperately in need of money to solve a problem like the instance given in this thread will not consider entertainment while gambling.

These people want money and will only talk about entertainment when the money is made.

Greediness is one of the reasons why people lose too much in gambling there is no play safe in gambling if you can control your greediness you can able to make money or able to stop if you already lost.

Also, you should know that gambling is not a work where you can always make money a casino is a place where you can have some fun or if you just want to spend your time while gamble.

Or if we win some money, gambling gives us that false hope that maybe we can do it again and it could be a regular for us to make money and bring food in the table for our family.

But that is a wrong mindset to begin with, as a gambler I have my ups and downs, and also said the same. But I learn my lessons very well, although I continue to play and bet and win some, I try to control everything and not fall for that trick again of being addicted to end and never learn how to play with my bankroll.

"I'm done with gambling"

The only moment you can trust a gambler to actually follow up with this is when he has hit the mother and grandfather of all jackpot, if he had just lost then there is 0.000!% chance of him following up with that!

When I gamble I am addicted to gambling and stop gambling if I face a loss.

If you can stop gambling just like that then there was no addiction in the first place! If it were so easy you wound's see thousands seeking help and not being able to withstand the urge even with therapy!
I gamble quite a lot on horse racing, this month because of the snow most of the courses in the UK and Ireland are dead frozen, there is one or two that run every day on polytrack instead of fie or six so I just don't feel like gambling at all, it's not that I stopped some addition since it was never in that place, it was the lack of having fun! Deranged gambles are on a different level!

Well, in my life, I love to consider the very important things first, which includes every primary need, after which I can move over to secondary needs. I cannot use my rent money to gamble because I know that there is a high possibility that I could still lose the game and my money will be gone. If that happens to be my only hope, that means I will end up being embraced and living on the streets.

There are some risks I cannot take, and one of them is that I cannot gamble with something that was not planned to be used for gambling.

Although in the past, while I was still in school, I did take this similar risk, the money I used was small, and I know that my parents will still come to my aid if I reach out to them. Now, I can't take such a risk again unless I have a plan B.

That is the idea and the way, at least obviously that you do it for entertainment and losing is an option that you know will happen more times.

So the bet size in crypto casinos is the best option, that you didn't do in Fiat casinos, where even the minimum bets can be $1.

Maybe there is some levels of addiction. If it is a mild addiction, he can stop gambling temporarily sometimes. But he probably gambles again because he can't be separated from gambling activity. I think it is also needed a therapy if he wants to stop gambling forever. It is different when he wants to keep gambling, in this matter he doesn't need any therapy.  ;D

Everyone who has gambling addiction should understand that it is an addiction and never gambling is okay as gambling addiction affects his family a lot. It is not right to become addicted to gambling so that we have to think of alternatives like giving him therapy. There are still many people in our society who are not in good financial condition but still gamble. There are many rich people who have wasted their money through gambling, their families were well off, but gambling has made their families destitute, such people need therapy.

Then it's not addiction! Drug addiction has stages but that's because of the cycle and effects of the drugs on your behaviour and body, gambling doesn't work like that, addiction is defined as  a state of "a persistent and intense urge" so you can't really have a mild intense urge!  ;D Right?

The ones that can stop it like that with a finger snap they are still not addicts, I know a few gambling addicts in real life, they all take this oath of not gambling easily, they can follow for 2-3 days with no problem but most of them let's say relapse even without knowing, in serious cases, almost extreme  they don't realize they've enter a betting parlor, they've opened a casino on their smartphone or so, I met once with a few friends one of them as he was exiting such a thing and when we asked him what the hell he is doing he was like thunderstruck, only when we told him he realized he went back gambling and he purchased a wad of tickets!

"I'm done with gambling"

The only moment you can trust a gambler to actually follow up with this is when he has hit the mother and grandfather of all jackpot, if he had just lost then there is 0.000!% chance of him following up with that!


Well this particular thought of yours is correct but I think to some gamblers, it actually just marks the start to their crazy gambler and I say this because of the experience a close friend of mine had.

The man actually hit a good run and for some miracle to happen he then secured a very big win, I think it's even bug enough to call it a mega jackpot for him because of his level of exposure but the whole thing turn differently when he was in possession of the money because the money made me crazy with spending and also his gambling stake went up to the roof as he always thought the funds is there and he believes the more money the less odd and risk involved for the betslip to be won.

At least this amount of money should never be used for gambling that the amount of money will be used for necessity. If a gambler gambles then he must gamble with the remaining amount of money. Residual amount means the gambler can set aside certain amount of money if he wants and he can gamble by keeping certain amount of money aside. If money is kept aside for house rent or money for school fees of one's child, then gambling with that money is definitely a wrong decision for that gambler. Gambling should be controlled so that we do not lose the necessary funds by gambling. Gamblers should be aware of this as well as be responsible.

Gambling still involves the possibility of losing. Through this the loss reaches the people at the end of the day. Gambling by selling personal belongings or spending large sums of money is absolutely not recommended. Because that time becomes an addiction. As a result, at the end of the day, there is a huge loss from here. I would say don't gamble by selling your stuff. Also if you can't control your emotions then you don't gamble. Whenever you get too greedy and at the same time act emotionally, you will lose and at the end of the day you will have nothing.

To avoid all those types of situations that are desperate to get money, it is necessary that we as people, so let's dedicate some time to make a good budget for expenses in a casino, and my best advice is always that you can make money willing to lose, Because only in this way will only that money be spent and no more money that is or is Committed will be spent, it is the best, based on this you can avoid many problems, like the ones you say and even worse when you fall into addiction, that It's the worst thing you can suffer.

So not only do you have to be careful with what you are preparing to lose, the trick is that if you lose money, there is nothing to do , you have to take the loss and then Schedule Another game Session for another day, but if you win Something , a decent thing is Recommended is to withdraw that money, it is the best, so before complying with KYC and securing things , that is the best thing you can do.

If he wins 100 millions dolls he will most likely quit because he knows that there is almost now way for him to win more than that and the returns are simply to bad compared to the amounts he already has.
But if he wins for example $100 000, then even if that means like 500 wages in a poor county it still leaves desires unfulfilled, he could buy a house but just an average car, a few vacations and that's it they could blow them in a month and they are back to square one. But with 100 mils, then ...completely different story!

That should always really be the case. If you gamble without proper budgeting or allocating enough funds for gambling, it can negatively impact your financial condition.

So not only do you have to be careful with what you are preparing to lose, the trick is that if you lose money, there is nothing to do , you have to take the loss and then Schedule Another game Session for another day, but if you win Something , a decent thing is Recommended is to withdraw that money, it is the best, so before complying with KYC and securing things , that is the best thing you can do.
Or the best thing to do when you win in gambling is to withdraw your capital first before continuing to play. You can use the money you won initially to continue playing. By securing your capital first, you can avoid potential losses. This strategy is highly recommended to help you make the most of your winnings.

Using relevant (cash that's meant for something important) using it to bet, is not a smart move. Because you gambling with such money yah not guarantee that you gonna hit the jackpot so you might up losing that money for rent and endup being homeless. Though gambling is addictive and the huge of gambling most time get the best of you but still try your best to control that urge and manage your betting habit. If not it would be hard for to be financially stable.

I personally don't, I won't speculate in gambling "if I win" but I conclude "if I lose" I have to look for the money back that I previously had because of greed which doesn't provide certainty.
It's better to pay off all arrears and if I have more money and then bet to look for luck

It was quite stupid to risk something so important just to gamble, especially since it was money that was supposed to be used to pay the rent. If it were me, I wouldn't want to risk such important money, because paying the rent is a priority and I can't be sure whether I can double the money or not by gambling it, so I would prefer to pay the rent directly.

This could happen, but it's a one in a million chance. And I am more willing to believe that all this is an advertising campaign, the purpose of which is for gamblers who have already sold their property not to give up and continue to fall lower and lower, believing that just a little more and there will be a huge win that will solve all problems and close all debts. Only this "scheme" looks like a "donkey with a carrot suspended in front of it."

If you are in his situation, are you going to risk your rent fee to have a chance of making more money?

Personally, i would not risk my money for rent fee for gambling as the pressure to in that scenario is intense/huge, have tried this one but without a success. Compromised money is prone to losing as per experience that's why i would not do such thing again but do know a lot of people here in our place who do this kind of scenario, gamble money intended for electrical fee and losing everything, blackout as a result.

What he did was very risky and in my opinion it was very crazy behavior, but there is a saying that goes like this: "If we want to be rich, then we have to be crazy."
I often see this saying on various social media and I just try to remember it. Just like Elon Musk, who is crazy with his mindset of wanting to live on Mars, now he might be called crazy, but if he can successfully live on Mars then Elon Musk will definitely become a millionaire.

He was crazy to sell his stove to pay for renting a house but instead he gambled. This behavior in my place is very crazy behavior and very extreme to do.
But what is called a gambler, there must be something that the gambler does to earn gambling capital, I just think this is from campus friends who often talk about gambling.

This is a gambler's final luck and every gambler, mostly the addicted gamblers always behave in that way. But those who are responsible would not do such a thing to risk their house rent or school fees to gamble. We have been hearing stories that gamblers used their school fees to gamble and lost all the cry to the bookmarkers to return their money. Like what you said is a luck he had tried and finally won. But not everyone can do it but few.

It takes luck everywhere. On the other hand, you can't use money that you need for mandatory expenses like rent or food. It is better to approach it more rationally. For example, I myself occasionally like to go to the fairspin platform and get a little emotion and maybe money, but I try to approach it carefully

I cannot say I can if I am so addicted to gambling, these chronic gamblers will promise everything just to prove that they are out of gambling but if there's an opportunity to gamble they will go for it without thinking of the consequences, what you discuss OP is the natural behavior of chronic gamblers, but on your question I already faced that situation many times and I always think of the worst scenario so I also save myself for not going to take a chance.

Follow this carefully.
HeyH
IN THE USA many states have big lotteries. 1,2,3 even 5,10,20 million USD prizes are given out weekly in many states.

50% of those winners go bankrupt in under 5 years.

Why is that? About 5% of USA adults have gambling issues. THEY bet way too much. AND they
Hit most of the large jackpots 1-20 million USD sized. They play 20 30 40 50 tickets vs 1.

So 1 of 20 people buy 50 tickets each  and 19 of 20 buy 1 or 2 tickets.

That is 50 tickets for the nut job and 38 for the normies.

MY wife had a friend at work that won a 7 million prize and 2 months later won a 2 million prize  he quit his job he divorced and in 5 years time was broke and a janitorial  at Kennedy airport.

No

It's an easy answer, whether out of honesty or simply politics.

Talking that way leads to nothing, it is falling into gossip.

The issue that concerns us and that brings us to the reality of this news is what he bet the $200 on, in what way, what game, how many bets.

Then out of nowhere she got $50 and managed to get away with it, and how?

$50 has been and is a good starter bankroll to start at NL100 in NLH, but it will take you about 6 months to get to NL1000, and it will grow your bankroll to about $1000.  This is in poker.

Stories told that way are gossip.

House rent fee is better than school fees. Some gamblers used money that is meant to pay school fee for gambling and the unlucky ones would loss and as for me I would not used money that is meant to pay house rent and school fees. I don't even think any pressure there, and just the huge amount to be win and the feeling to win that amount would make someone to use such money to gamble and if your luck does not shine that day then you loss all and go home with empty hands. That risky might land someone in a very big problem.

So, the man sold his stove for $200 to pay for his rent. However, despite his intentions, he was unable to resist the urge to gamble. He used the money to bet and ended up losing it all. Despite the setback, he found another way to get money and began gambling again.

The money was lost again and has left with only $50. He then tries his luck one another time. In the end, he finally won a huge sum of money.

I know this may be just another random video on Instagram, but it does happen in real life.

If you are in his situation, are you going to risk your rent fee to have a chance of making more money?
There are many gamblers featured in your video whose lives can be relatable. There are many gamblers who enter gambling with everything of their life and at one point they lose everything and become destitute. I participate in gambling only for entertainment I never participate in this gambling outside of entertainment. Those who consider this gambling as a means of making money outside of entertainment are the ones who lose or suffer the most in life. If I were in his position I would never spend beyond a certain budget for gambling. Because I have enough patience and knowledge that with patience and knowledge I will not devote extra time to gambling. The person quoted by the OP here is a gambling addict due to which he participates in gambling with everything in the hope of extra profit.

Indeed, because what he has done or achieved in the video was pure luck, if he is unable to win a huge amount of money despite losing all the funds he had, he might resort to other ways to get more money to gamble. This cycle will have no end until he achieves his goal. And if he never gets the chance to win, he will likely end up as a homeless man.

What I think about this is that he put his luck to the test on many occasions and the truth is that he gambled with everything to be able to obtain something, the fact that he had almost nothing is something that I would not be able to do, in the end he had Good luck, but this is the type of person I consider to be dangerous, who should leave the game for their own good and who should have a different vision of life.

The person who tests everything is because he needs help in some way, I understand that we are but we must have a lot of faith for these things, but we also have to have some knowledge, and because he was very lucky in the end, but if not I would have had it, what would have happened? Things are very different if he had not won, perhaps he would have fallen into total Mediocrity , since he Obtained a good sum of money, then he should Leave the game and do something else, start a business or dedicate himself to something Else.

I think the story is rubbish because it doesn't tell what happens after that. A person who acts like that, this time he might get away with it but he is going to lose a lot of money, he is going to have a shitty life because of his bad gambling habit.

IN THE USA many states have big lotteries. 1,2,3 even 5,10,20 million USD prizes are given out weekly in many states.

I'm sure that would happen to the protagonist of the OP's story, if he won the lottery he'd be broke again not long after. A minimum knowledge of personal finance, a minimum of self-control and above all contentment can save more than one person from ending up like this.

That plot twist though. :D I didn't expect that TBH, and I thought that it would end up as a sad video because... we're on the internet where anything can be posted online. :)
Anyway, he's lucky, and... that's it. I wonder if the opposite happened. What if that remaining $50 is lost? I assume he will be added to the group of homeless people that are begging around.

Random or not, I believe that it happens. It all comes down to how brave you are to risk the remaining money that you have. Also, some gamblers needed that money to pay or buy something, but instead choose to gamble it. Some are winning, but some are losing. Overall, if you're lucky, you're lucky. That's all. :D

As for me if I'm in that situation, if I can't think of another way to produce the remaining $150, then I might as well risk it all. I mean if you didn't risk it, you will still have $150 remaining to pay, right?
