Im gambling these days, mostly in casinos and sports betting people are motivated by other peoples win, and also they keep on trying their luck to see if it will be their turn to win big one day.
In gambling there us a saying that "no risk, no gain"... lol its so funny how people encourage their selves with these quotes, doe I'm a victim too, but as a gambling have you ever thought of risking it all and loosing everything?
In the beginning of gambling I had no distinct passion for gambling. But when one of my friends showed me how to make huge money from gambling, my attitude towards gambling started to change. At that time I also got interest in winning from gambling which was not there before. I started betting with a small amount. But I was afraid of losing. I only set aside money for bets that I would not personally be in financial trouble if I lost. But when I won some bets, my gambling increased. Both victory and defeat were also in my gambling. I am attracted by the prospect of winning big from gambling but am not in favor of betting with everything.
I can still tell you that since your friend introduced you to gambling, you have not achieved your goal of winning big. But it is fine that you understand that as a gambler, you do not have to risk everything. In my opinion, your desire to win big and make money from gambling is not unreasonable as long as you gamble within your means and with an amount you can afford to lose.
What we intend to do does not always matter; what matters is how we try to make the intention a reality. For example, if a gambler gambles for fun but uses money he cannot afford to lose, he will face problems, even though gambling for fun is not wrong. Similarly, if a gambler gambles to make money but only gambles with what he can afford to lose, he will not have difficulty gambling. However, it is not encouraged to gamble for the purpose of making money.
