Gamble with what you can afford to lose can actually make a good return

But I also think of something else, I think we should also give them advice even if it doesn't harm us. For me it's not just about whether or not it's harming us, but there's something bigger than that, which is our concern for them.

I will only do so when they personally ask. The problem with sharing unsolicited advice is that it could be taken the wrong way and that might just push them away. When they do not see any problem with their gambling, they usually don't like suggestions to stop being shove in their throat.

If we wait for them to ask, then when will it happen? After they have lost everything? But that goes back to our own opinions because we must also have a reason why we do something, in this case giving someone advice.

Changing someone's mindset and lifestyle is not as simple as you think. It's usually better if you let them learn that the hard way. Also, the topic in the OP is about gambling money you can afford to lose instead of investing.

Of course if we immediately give them advice suddenly then they will distance themselves or can even make them hate us. But what we can do is to enter slowly, it could be in a joking situation that we give a slip of advice wrapped in a joke so that they are not offended by us.

You do you.

Gamble with what you can afford to lose can actually make a good return

It is better to use a certain amount of money for gambling so that you do not get stressed or hurt if you lose money. There are many people who spend their entire income on gambling and unfortunately when they lose gambling they become broke. In order to recover lost money, many people participate in a series of gambling games that result in them losing more gambling and at one point incurring gambling debts. By participating in it, they end up in a lot of debt. This is why it is best for a gambler to always use the amount he can afford to lose. Speaking from my side I would say I spend one to five percent of my income on gambling I never spend more than 1 to 5% of my income on gambling.

I am also not in support of that statement because no money in someone hand is meant to loss but to multiply. Now another question will also come from my side, which of the money is afford to loss? And using $1 or $100 to invest does not make sense and there is no investment platform that accept that amount of money. The minimum amount in some platforms to invest is $3+ and that is also depends on the country exchange with dollar rate.
