Gambling: for fun or to earn money?

[Roseline492]

No way that you can make gambling as source of your income, that is the worse that you can go in your life. So it's better to go on a normal route, have a job and make a living and bring food in the table for your family.

As for gambling, first is that we want to win some, that's why we take that risk, we are lucky if we can win, but majority is going to lose as every game, the casino has that advantage to us.

When I hear people saying that gambling is there source of income I use to wonder how they are gambling to have been seeing the amount that's making them to think is a source of income, however I have not even seen anyone who have gamble for a whole week without losing. I could actually use myself as an example for this because sometimes i gamble for weeks without winning any stake, so if I'm using it as my source of of come how would I see the money to use and gamble again because I must have spent all I have.

That's why it's better if you do play to have some fun and be entertained. If we win some money they good for us. And just play with the money that you can afford to lose so that it won't ruined your life if you lose that money.

Yes, you are absolutely right, of course when we play and apply these things that we say, sometimes it can be very difficult for us to do them. Personally, when I was starting to apply it , it was very difficult for me, and well , I could not do that strategy with such intensity, I cannot deny that when I applied it, many times I did not comply with it and lost, but there comes a time when you say: "No more" sometimes one gets tired of losing money Playing and one has to put oneself with a unique discipline to be able to execute such a thing, in the end, if it is achieved, it even applies to trading.

From personal experience, gambling both saves and kills. The fact that it saves explains why most gamblers cannot stop gambling. They believe they will win again, so they do not give up. However, it is not reasonable to rely on gambling for survival because it is unpredictable, whereas a source of income should be stable and guaranteed.

This is significant because it is easier to plan with a consistent and guaranteed income than it is for gambling. Many plans cannot be implemented if they are based on gambling.

I'm thinking how gambling can save you. I mean we know that you can lose money in gambling so quickly depending on how much you're betting. That might be the "killer", but how can it be a "saver". Maybe if you won the lottery? Or if you won a huge amount in your bet that it changed your life? Is that what you mean?.

Anyway, we've said it numerous times already that gambling is a way for us to entertained and not a way for us to make money nor an income source because it isn't stable to begin with. In gambling, you will rely mostly on luck, and you're not lucky all the time, so how can it be a reliable income source.

Mindset matters. If you will look at gambling as a way to be entertained, losing a few bucks would be fine and you will not chase those losses. Now if you're seeing it as a way to make money, and you're not ready to lose money then there's a high chance that you will lose even more.

The bolded statement is absolutely true because gambling is inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Therefore, it's better not to rely on it as a source of income if possible. I know people who depend on gambling for their livelihood, but their lives are difficult. They lack a stable income, and as a result, their families often struggle to make ends meet.

I also concur on the fact that there are always very many repercussions when one relies on something that cannot promise a certain result. This is bad for any household as peace of the home could be disrupted when income is to be made from something. A lot of surprises occur in everyday life when the provision for basic necessities cannot be provided with any degree of assurance. You described possible situations of people you know, and this provides a fair perspective to look at such a life as inherently unstable that is hard to regulate. I can easily visualise how that stress can disrupt the family affairs and the overall foundation of the family. As I pointed out, there is a limit to luck and that is how much one can actually rely on that as a success strategy measure and the rest is simply waiting for something that may never arrive.

There are times when I have nothing and need money to pay bills, and I will be surprised to win at gambling, which allows me to pay the bills. This has happened multiple times. I remembered when I needed to pay my school fees and it was only three days until the deadline, and I got lucky. In these cases, gambling has come to the rescue.

However, I will not advise any gambler to rely on gambling to solve problems because it is unpredictable, but the reality is that it will be difficult for a gambler to face a challenge and completely ignore gambling. I believe only a few gamblers have been able to train their minds to this level. Gambling has traditionally been an option for most gamblers in distress times.

Here in my place that is very common that is why when luck isn't on their course they get disappointed and sometimes can cause trouble either in the arena or booth and for worst their family are also affected due to bad temper and arriving home drunk. This has been happening since the day they've introduced or influenced from gambling and sad to say it can be passed to the next generations luckily for me I already quit gambling.

I think this is not right because gambling we can take it for our pleasure we will never use it to earn money. Even though we do it for earning money but due to our luck and guess we will never be able to win here or we will always have losses here. We will face losses here again and again. Yes even if we do this we can do it with 5% of our total money, and we can see here how is our source of life here.

All those who are saying that they are gambling for funs should not complain when they lose and should be happy and laugh. And for those who are gambling to win should complain because they lose money and their hope is to win the game and not to lose it but losing is compulsory where we can't avoid it. As foe me, I am gambling to win my either the capital deposited or add a profile as the potential win.

And I believed anyone who deposited one to gamble must hope to win back the deposit plus the extra profit and when he lose out, he will definitely have the the pain.

When someone enters a game which carries some risk with money, there is a natural expectation that the money can result in more money. I feel it is not just about wanting to win, but simple logic: nobody wants to lose something they’ve earned. The disappointment that exists is not for the result because the effort and belief that was put in during the process, had grown. When someone claims that he plays someone for a reason, such as entertainment or results, the response still comes later from an emotional tie to the outcome.

Based on my observation here in my place, gambling is more of some sort of earning money than having it as for fun. I also did that when I was still in my gambling sessions before but since I already quit it's not gonna happen again. Anyways, my friends and relatives and other people who are involved in gambling here in my place expects something big from gambling and that is why I said they play for money than fun. They spend much on it more than what I did before and that is quite surprising.

It means the same in my area also some people gamble to make money not for fun... The proof is that they sell property to cover debts used for gambling after losing the property many of them become bankrupt due to gambling.
So never consider gambling to make money but for fun, so even losing is not a problem because you are ready and know the risks.

The initial purpose of a gambler's gambling may change later. Some people do not gamble for financial gain, but later become addicted gamblers and lose all their assets. The gambler must determine his level. When a gambler gambles excessively, he becomes addicted. At that time, he behaves like a mad to win at gambling. Although gambling is a source of pleasure, it later becomes a source of financial gain for many.

Yes there are some people who do not play gambling for financial gain they just want to take it for pleasure. But when they lose repeatedly and lose their money then they get greedy to recover their loss they slowly become addicted to gambling and gradually they use it for financial gain. But although we should think that it is not for our financial gain it is only for entertainment.

For the time being, the crypto market hasn't been directly impacted by Trump decisions regarding tariffs. Trump once said he wants to see the stock market and crypto go to the moon, and I believe he wasn't just kidding but actually has a concrete strategy to make that happen.

TRUMP memecoin is proof of skin in the game. We can wait for Trump actions to stimulate the US economy while attracting capital inflow into the crypto market. Unfortunately, not everyone currently holds BTC to continue being patient with the market.

I agree with you, in fact, one of the nations that has had the Hardest time accepting is China and because of these things they have imposed 34% more because they oppose more tariffs on the USA, more than 50 countries have called Trump to negotiate those tariffs, I think Trump has taken good control over the economy, investors are slowly realizing what he is doing and they know that it is not crazy, it is a necessary evil that must end, even so BTC and some other stocks or currencies like gold are the most valuable so far.

it depends, i would say most people starts gamble because of fun or excited. You cannot earn big money with gambling since most people loss all the winning by the end. But if you open up a casino. You are 90% profitable.

I also don't see gambling as a source of income, it is just for fun and excitement, but if you are lucky enough to make more profit from gambling there is nothing wrong with that. Gambling work base on luck, and just as you win, you can also lose which is uncertain. There is positive side of gambling and there is also negative side of gambling, so that is the main reason why you shouldn't depend solely on gambling and sees it as a source of income.

Yeap, even we could take gambling as an income source if it was skill based result, but what we just found on it, it only depends on luck.
You can't just constantly win in gambling just becuase of you know a sports well or do good analysis on that because even if you do the good analysis at the end of the day that also depends on the luck. So we can't just through our life and career just on the luck based things to earn. So we should choose a proofession where hard work will bring the money.
