Title: What is the definition of a Gambler? Do you consider yourself as a Gambler?
Post by: Susano on January 28, 2024, 10:30:03 PM
Personally, I don't like the word Gambler tbh. And it feels more worse when someone calls someone a Gambler in the local language. I played some hands it's true and I tested many games for test purposes But I was never affected by the gamble. and I consider I am not a gambler myself. Somehow I do not feel good or something does not fit with me by this word.

What do you think about yourself and how do you want to define the word Gambler?
Well for my self I do see my self as a gambler do you see your self as one??

If you invest people call you investor hope you don't mind if you trade people call you trader hope you don't mind if you gamble and people call you gambler why you will be upset. If being called a gambler bothers you in private then I'd say you gamble in such a way that people around you don't know you're a gambler. Many people consider the word.

"gambler"as a bad word, and many people use it as an insult. But since you are a gambler, you cannot get angry at all by listening to other people's words. And if you already discuss the matter with your neighbors or if your neighbors know that you gamble, they will call you a gambler because you should have been careful about this beforehand.

Trading doesn't have that bad effects compared to gambling, investing doesn't have that much effects compared with gambling so if you are a trader/investors people see's you as responsible person while if you are being called gamblers people would say you are not responsible at first they will lost trust in you for whatever that concerns money since they knew that gamblers go to an extents to use money kept in their custody to gamble making it looks very bad, due to the bad misrepresentation gamblers has turned gambling to out there when you are known as gambler you present yourself to be a bad person.

Hence the language gambler is very effective to a man's life so people prefers calling them trader or investors than gambler because gambling always tarnished our images in terms of seeking for work in any firm be it government work whenever they noticed you are gambler have a very slim chance to employed why because they believed that a day to come you may likely use the organization funds to gamble. So company's do avoid employing gamblers.

If I gamble I have no problem being called a gambler. But socially a gambler is looked down upon because to identify oneself as a gambler means to be scorned by others. For which many gamblers do not want to reveal themselves to everyone. And to lock yourself in, many crypto gambling companies have sprung up these days so that people can gamble silently. No one should recognize him as a gambler. I am a gambler but I don't want to introduce gambling. And all gamblers like to hide their gambling.

Only in areas where gambling is prohibited and frowned upon does a gambler feel uncomfortable identifying himself as a gambler or hearing others identify him as a gambler. Gambling is legally prohibited in some countries, but in most developed countries it is not legally prohibited in certain regions. If you are a regular gambler then why get angry when others call you a gambler? Let's say if you are studying then if someone calls you a student then you will definitely not get angry but on the contrary you will feel comfortable to identify yourself as a student. This effect actually depends entirely on the surrounding environment.

I am a proud gambler, because I gamble for fun, and I would not pick any offense of you call me a gambler. This is because I and my friends do use this words to call each other when we win big. As long as my gambling activities os not stop me from taking care of my responsibilities, I am fine with it. Those people that are ashamed to be called a gambl9are not accepting the truth, if they hit the jackpot, will they lie that it wasn't from gamble that they had that big amount of money that can turn their lives around.

So the poster doesn't want the word because he doesn't like the meaning. It reminds me of how things started with changing pronouns and genders just to suit their own agenda. Before, it was just male /female and they added a bunch of other terms. There is no need to personalize its definition because of your feelings getting hurt when someone calls you a gambler. Just don't gamble.

Of course I am a gambler but just a low class one. 😅 I am not proud of me being a gambler but I just make fun with it trying to fetch luck on each bet. I don't care about how people will call me because I just go with the flow.

For me it's because of the society to which the person belongs, some society actually see gambling or should I say the gambler as someone who is useless or reckless and that's because of the way they have represented the habits as most of them tend to be addicts and this portrays bad image for other gamblers. But in terms of classification, I can class the this two habits as one(gambling and trading) although I know that trading is somehow different but In general sense trader can also make one crazy and do shit if the person doesn't keep his habits in check.

My question is how much money do we have to spend to say we are a gambler, or how often do we gamble in a month?

If you say I'm a gambler, then I would say yes because I like to gamble. For some people or in certain environments, being called a gambler would have a negative value, so therefore I would not say that I am a gambler.

I think it comes down to the individual, because some people want to be called a gambler and some people don't, even if they do like to gamble.

I would consider myself as a gamer rather than a gambler. Gamer sounds much good to me and yes I do place bets once in a week or twice but not more than that. However, sometimes I spend more time by placing bets and thankfully 70% of my bets are still winning bets for me. I earn no money from gambling because I'm into for the fun part only, but yes, as a entertainment it's something really awesome.

IMO I think that a gambler is a person who have dedicated his whole life in gambling, even when he or she already have a job he will want to keep his job aside and gamble because he's whole mind keeps saying that one day he will win a huge amount of money that will change his or her life but not knowing that gambling is not about how dedicated you are or how often you bet but it only depends on how lucky you are, so instead of me to consider my self as a gambler, I rather not say it because I am not.

I am a gambler, no big deal. As long as someone bets on different games or ingage in any form of gambling activity where they have to stake some money for the sake of making profit, the person is a gambler.

A gambler is a risk-taker who is not certain about the outcome of an event but places something of value on the event with the hopes of getting it if the outcome is what he predicted. I am a gambler specifically sports bettor, I place money on a football match and hope to get more money.

The irony of gambling is that a gambler will always lose but this doesn`t prevent him from gambling. This is why gambling is regarded as a game of risk. Show me a gambler and I will show you an investor who has invested in a risky venture and so, he is not sure of getting results.

I consider myself a gambler, I participate in gambling only to satisfy myself. I do not count profit or loss in any gambling because I only participate in gambling when I find joy in myself. I never think about gambling addiction because I try to stop myself from gambling when I notice any harmful effects in myself. I never participate in gambling with pressure on family because family is most important to me and then self love. I am never against my will.

Nowadays, a gambler can get the opportunity to gamble with maximum security. He can find the right solution to such problems when he is able to gamble without fear of others. I don't think anyone wants him to be known as a gambler. Because gambling is not yet accepted in every society. However, the gambling industry has grown in size. This means that everyone likes to keep their gambling hidden. A gambler who gambles according to rules is called a gambler. However, this term carries a negative connotation in front of everyone due to which gamblers have different reactions about it.

Yeah I do, but on the stance that I gamble a little and don't let it control me.

If someone refers to me as a gambler, I won't take it personally. It was only in public that I would become offended when they called me a gambler on a regular basis. By then, I might have figured out that the person calling me a gambler wants to watch how I respond, and I would be prepared to correct them so that their inaccurate perception of me would change regarding gambling.

Anyone who participates in gambling is essentially a gambler. To be honest and considerately I am also considered a gambler. Many may take the word gambling as bad but when you think deeply you will understand where the word gambling comes from. The fact is that people who participate in online gambling and become addicted we only consider them post gamblers and we don't consider them regular gamblers. But we call those as gamblers who participate in gambling locally and physically on roadside or in any open place and become addicted. The word gambler hurts a lot of people's dignity, which is why if someone is called a gambler, he may get angry.

There may be many buts, but I think the most important thing is that a gambler is that person who has a lot of fun playing in a casino , and who has control of his coins and money , based on the fact that the casino is a place of entertainment and fun, of This is how the game should be manifested.

The game can be good for those who want to Achieve extreme fun , or as I call it , fun for adults , because you have to have a lot of self-control and above all the greatest of all Controls in the money , because it is the most important in everything casino, whoever has money is capable of doing anything and resists any eventuality that comes his way in some way , it is something that has to be Accepted as such , a casino is that for me , it may be that a player has many things to show , but since the thread is a definition, for me this is the Definition.

Normally calling someone gambler is not good because anything associated with gambling have a bad connotation. So if someone call a gambler even the society will look at you with one eyes and some of them will even see you as a bad person so that name gambler is not a good name in the society. Even though you make money with gambling the name will not portray a good image to you. People will even mock you that he makes his money from gambling and that means he is not a good person.

I wonder if the main topic was deleted maybe because it was a copy-paste discussion from the other forums, we could create a similar topic but we need to rephrase it, about the topic, I consider myself a gambler because when you bet money you are already considered a gambler there is no other definition of gambler on the dictionary but someone who bet.
But there are two kinds of gamblers the responsible one and the irresponsible one and it's our choice to pick what kind of gambler are we.

If we reflect on life, maybe we have also gambled in this life by birth.
Maybe it's just my opinion because I often see babies being born and growing up, during the growing process the baby has many choices.
This choice is a gamble between choosing what is good and choosing what is not so good, for example the baby is trying to walk, of course the baby is also gambling with time, confidence and trial so that he can walk.

Unfortunately, this Gambler has a broad context, if it is related to money then we have 2 choices, namely being ready to lose money or being ready to get money from the game.
The tool is a game and the result of the game is money.

The word gambler hurts a lot of people's dignity, which is why if someone is called a gambler, he may get angry.

If it hurts to be called a gambler or takes away the dignity of a gambler, then the gambler should stop gambling and engage in activities that can add to his dignity. This can be likened to a person who smokes getting angry that he is called a smoker. Well, even if a gambler gets angry for being called a gambler or hides his gambling activities, there remains one truth and that is that he is a gambler.

I have noticed that only those who haven`t been favoured through gambling are the set of gamblers who pick offence when called gamblers. The very few successful gamblers make their gambling activities open and are not bothered about how you address them, whether as gamblers or whatever.

You're a gambler, but not a gambling addict, Yuh shouldn't be angry when your referred to as a gambler if you gamble responsibly. Life itself is a gamble. We're born to take risks and the tisks we  take sometimes its great to be considered a gamble. As far as you're still sane with your gambling behaviors, you don't have any problem being  called a gambler. The problem arises when your gambling habit is controlling you. Then your irresponsibility isn't something to reckon with. But as long as you gamble for fun, you're on the right track and your gambling isn't much of a challenge to you. Then you're on the right path and gambling right isn't by any means a problem and you shouldn't be disturbed by it.

It really fits your statement because you are so extraordinary at describing gambling in real life.
I also gamble on this forum like others because I look for the best in this forum about cryptocurrency and stay away from any rules that are broken.
Gambling may be a 2-sided choice between win-lose and good-bad because gambling is synonymous with a choice between 2 and one of them must win.

More precisely, maybe in this world those who play with cards, dice, sports using money then that is definitely gambling.

I would say that we are all gamers, from the first time we enter a Game and Decide to play, there we are gamers, there is no other way, we are people who always go for everything, then each person makes the difference according to their personality, style and way of seeing things, everyone is different to play because we all make different Decisions regarding things in life, the circumstances of life make us grasp experiences in certain events and we are people who react because of it , that's why I think things when it comes to what they want are not cool, at some point we are not cool.

Since we were little we have played, now I see the casino as a game for adult fun, because here you have to commit money, and with money things will change and are at another level, it is not something that is decisive, but it is delicate, so Sometimes they kill People for money.

Gamblers in my country are really considered the trash of society and are even reviled every day of their lives, it would be very bad if we were caught gambling, even though not all gamblers have a bad habit, right? At first it was just for entertainment.

Everyone in the world involved in gambling from one way or the other. From literally perspective gambling means different things in different field or angle. If you do something and the thing doesn't favour you, then you have gamble with your life. If you give money to someone to do business to pay you back daily with the interest but the person run away with money, you have gamble with your money. If you contest in any political position or office and you loss out to your opponent then you have gamble with your life. So gambling means different things to different. Therefore if anyone says that he is not a gambler, well it is true because he is not going to the casino hall or website to gamble but he gamble with others in the society which he might not know.

Most people explain a gambler like an addict, not all gamblers are addicts and those are two different things. A gambler addict is someone who can't stop gambling and do risk more than they should, they are people who have absolutely no self control and they are hurting themselves when they are gambling. Not all gamblers like that, some are like me, who play at legal places that government allows, and end up having fun with small amounts, losing a tiny amount (sometimes lower than literally a meal worth) is nothing to me, and that just is type of fun I have, it makes the games I watch a lot more fun to watch when there is a bet going on.

Why try to overcomplicate things when it doesn't need to?
I mean what do we call a person who is driving? A driver right? What do we call a person who is teaching? A teacher? What do we call a person that's building things? A builder.

Same with this one. What do you call a person who is gambling? Isn't it a gambler? What's wrong with that? If you're gambling, you're a gambler. Simple as that. As for me, since I already tried gambling, I can consider myself a gambler. Now the question is what type of gambler am I? I'm the type of gambler who I consider "SEASONAL" (I just invested this term no worries :D). When I feel that I want to gamble and I have the money (extra), I'll gamble. If I see some events that are worthy of betting on (sports), I'll bet as long as I have the money.

As long as you gamble, you consider yourself a gambler already. It's only a matter of how often you gamble. Are you doing this daily? Or monthly? Or like me who is seasonal. :D

That is exactly what defines a gambler. And of course as a certified gambler you need to experience two things either you win or lose as draw is not an option here. And there two types of a gambler a responsible one and the irresponsible. It is up to you whether which one you belong to because I personally right now has just become a responsible gambler just because I learned from my mistakes on my previous gambling activities so I hope you do as well.

Dealing up with gambling could really just that only giving out that two possible outcomes whether you would really be that profitable or winning or losing on which it would really be just that depending on you whether you would really be considering on continuing or you would really be that stopping on the time that you have seen your losses is already that too big?
It all matters on how responsible you are on dealing up with these things because if you do find yourself not to be that mindful about on the actions you are taking and
you are really just that making some tolerance about your addiction, then sooner or later you would really be able to find out yourself on a tough situation or condition
and this is something that we must avoid.

I'm confused about what's in that quote. Simply put, a gambler is someone who gambles. Whether it's with good calculations or just taking a position in gambling, they're still gamblers. The difference is whether we become ordinary or pro gamblers. Or become an addicted or well-managed gambler. So this will depend on our own pattern of carrying out gabling activities. But once we gamble, we are gamblers.

So clear and direct. No matter how we paint it or differentiate different forms of gamblers, as long as you place something with the hope for a return, you are a gambler. With the rise of the internet, online gambling has become increasingly popular and a lot of gamblers have been able to hide their identity and pretend not to associate with gambling but whether we hide our gambling activity, a gambler is a gambler.

Yes, many of them do not want their gambling activities to be known by others, it comes from several reasons and the simplest reason may be that they do not want to be labeled as gamblers by others.

I think that is normal because in some environments gambling is considered something bad and they may even hate gambling. But that goes back to each of them, because they may also have a basis for judging gambling like that, just like us.

Actually gambling is big concept. Some one do it for entertainment and some one do it for earning. But now we are seeing gambling is addiction for many people. I think trading is one of the gambling. People are being addicted on gambling. I am also addicted on gambling. So i can easily consider as a gambler. Not only me many people being gambler.
I disagree with your one statement. I love gambling and almost I am a gambler. I may or may not be addicted. But when you reconcile gambling with trading I have a disagreement. Although big profit and loss can be made from trading but still I cannot say that trading and gambling are the same. Gambling is definitely different than trading. Whereas a trader can recover his wealth even after long time after investment but never possible by a gambler. When a gambler loses from gambling there is no way to recover it. But overall I can consider myself as a gambler.

For me, a player is almost like the definition of a politician, everyone can be one, but only few do it well, why? because there are many who talk a lot, others who do nothing, others who always lose and others who become cheaters..., and that is something that exists all over the world, for me a gambler can be any person who manages his funds. correct way, that they do not fall into addiction, that they do not lose all their money and that apart from this they have control over what they have, that they do not lose interest and that they do not lose properties or anything like that.

A player can be a person who plays for little money, has fun and when he loses the money he tends to lose, well he just stops there, because he has his discipline, that for me is a player, so everyone can be a player, but It depends on the personality of how it assumes its designs, because a casino tests us in every sense.

A gambler is a person who wants to make extra cash by not doing any physically challenging job. I see myself as a passive gambler because I hardly gamble. I am scared of losing so I don't always enjoy gambling.

Of course I am a gambler but just a low class one. 😅 I am not proud of me being a gambler but I just make fun with it trying to fetch luck on each bet. I don't care about how people will call me because I just go with the flow.

Trying to fetch luck on each bet? You make it seem like you can control the outcome of the bets you place.you gamble for fun and at the same time try to fetch luck on each bet having that mindset expectation mindset means you are no longer gambling for fun. Majority of people who put themselves in this category of gambling for fun don't actually do what they say because they try to make money from it to solve their problems. But it doesn't as long your stakes are very low there's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, just like you said, continue going with the flow

I think there is nothing wrong with what Op said, because if we have hope, it is valid, but don't let our hopes be too excessive which can cause negative impacts.

I think most people gamble with the hopes they bring, what makes the difference is when they know the limits of the hopes they have to apply. I also hope to win, I will not deny it, but again I know this is closely related to luck, so the hopes I bring are not big or just hopes without a desire to pursue them.

Personally, I don't like the word Gambler tbh.
Well for my self I do see my self as a gambler do you see your self as one??
I'm confused about what's in that quote. Simply put, a gambler is someone who gambles …. But once we gamble, we are gamblers.
maybe some people think that professional gamblers should be called differently since they probably put themselves on a higher level than those who only gamble for fun or who gamble quite irresponsibly but i have not actually heard of any other terms for professional gamblers it has always been just gamblers do correct me if i am wrong though and that there are other terms for those who play professionally

When I hear someone is a gambler in my language it defines that somewhat he/she is a gambling addict which is not a good word to hear from others. for me, I gamble but occasionally when I feel I like to play I can consider my self as a casual gambler but not a gambling addict.

there are many in our society who view gambling only negatively, as it is often associated with addiction, gambling is viewed negatively by everyone in our region. Because all the people who gamble in our region are addicted to gambling and drug addicts. And those who started gambling have suffered a lot from their previous financial situation, that's why almost everyone in our region considers gambling as a negative addiction and always advises to stay away from it.

But if we can gamble within a limit by self-responsibility keeping ourselves under control, it cannot become our addiction, we can only gamble for entertainment from which we will not become addicted. But there are many people who said before they started gambling that they will not be addicted and will always gamble with a certain amount, but they could not maintain this stability, even if they said from the beginning that they not gambling addicted, but they became addicted shortly after they started gambling. And slowly they suffer financially.
