How does winning a large prize affect the view of gambling’s morality?

[Igebotz]

Why is gambling considered taboo and immoral in some cultures and countries, yet when someone wins a large prize, his success is often celebrated and his wealth is welcomed by friends, family, and society—the same people who were against him in the beginning
Well, I'm not generalizing, but that's the reality...

People can compromise their belief for money I have seen this happen so many times, people will make a big shift on how they treat you when it comes to money, so its better when you won a big amount of money to not flaunt it, don't brag about it or else you will be targeted by people who wants to have a share of your winnings.
And this is the same people who will easily leave you if they see that you don't haver anymore, so many people easily change because of the glitters of money.

Money is power, and as the popular saying goes, "power corrupts..." To identify a morally upright person, give him money and then observe his behavior. As you mentioned, people change once they have money. At that point, friends become enemies or fail to meet their expectations, so they attempt to distinguish themselves from close friends. In other cases, they seek to exert dominance because they were fortunate enough to win big and become wealthy.

To me, when money is used in this manner, it does not last forever. The saying goes, "Easy come, easy go." That is why, when a person wins big, it is recommended that he invest rather than try to show class. Showing class will only encourage such a gambler to live a lavish lifestyle and gamble even more to sustain it. This may not last long for such a gambler, as he may not be as lucky again.

OP: No, but yes... 

Actually, what is the point here you Topic in relation to the betting board, we cannot fall into gray areas of discussion on the subject that concerns us, betting (gambling).

In any case, it is your point of view, and perhaps you measure yourself by your environment, one has to have convictions regardless of the interest or the brilliance at convenience.

In recent days (another thread off topic on betting topicboard) a person admitted that he was ashamed that his pastor found out that he was betting, something really "childish", as in this case, that being an interested person prevails over your principles, is there a gray area or not, if you are like that you are a slacker who takes advantage of people, clearly.

Fortunately my close and social environment accepts me as I am and the interest in helping others is not accompanied by monetary interest.

People don't care about how you got the money and all they care is whether you have or not so that make sense people celebrate when someone made money that's gonna change the individual life.

You may need to understand almost every religion prohibits gambling but the actual reason is people can get rogue and get into bad shape but now we're evolved a lot so we no need to confuse it with religion and know what we're doing.

To get a tip? Or something they want in return? Well, that's how money change someone's behaviour, they are all with you when you have money and everything especially to someone who have bad experience when there's not enough money on them. But won't give a budge or care when you have nothing.

Well what happens here is that when people have money , many things change, which I don't think so, but personally I am a person that money should never change who they are , there are many who are friends just for that, and when there is no more money, that's when you see who is with you, that's how it happens, but in these things it always happens the same, and in any part of the world it is recognized, sometimes money changes, and that is something that should Never happen.

I support your submission. It is impossible to predict the behaviour of someone until they make money. When some people make money, they believe that it is the appropriate time to avoid friends and try to secure their lives by making it difficult for others to access them. In some cases, a person may be unable to predict how he will behave if given the opportunity to earn money.

In my opinion, a friend who becomes wealthy should not neglect others, particularly those who were present with him before he became wealthy. Instead, he should try to elevate others rather than separating himself from his friends.

It's sad, but many people, when they get rich, stop communicating with their friends. Even those they knew very well.
And I will not justify them, I will say that they are full-fledged traitors to friendship. You cannot change your social circle because of a change in your economic status. This is wrong and mean. Therefore, in casinos and betting, you must not let money ruin your friendship.

People forget morals and ethics when they see money especially people who will easily take your place if given the chance. I think the world.has transition from the way they view gambling as bad thing. Morally, they may not like it because of the addiction and how some people are lost in it but they have accept it that is way of living.

I know of a guy that his life has changed in the span of 5 years to a billionaire with multiple business and all happened because he won a game that change his life forever and he has been in gambling as full job with his business going and manage by others. The way people queue to beg him for money be like a person with politics.

People worship money. It is unfortunate that the world is such that people worship those who have money, regardless of how they obtained it. The only reason people criticize gamblers is the fear of addiction, as you have mentioned. This is because addiction affects not only the gambler but also those around them.

Regardless, when a gambler finally wins, people stop criticizing him and instead begin begging him for games because they, too, want to win. At this point, no one is concerned about the gambler becoming addicted, but rather wants to associate with him in order to benefit from his winnings.

when they have something to gain, they can forget just about anything about the gambler who won despite that guy goes home drunk and hit his wife every time. when he won a large amount enough to change their lives, people around feels like they can take their share.

people forget morals and they don't even realize they are turning greedy.  but the gambler also will not mind their morals throw out the windows as long as they serve him.

Yes you are right, there are some people like that, not rich but when they can win a large amount. Usually they are always together, but when they have money from winning, they will leave and will come back after the money is gone. That is an unhealthy friendship.

The same will be experienced by people who are addicted to gambling, usually they will borrow money from their friends, that is the starting point of the destruction of friendship, I saw that experienced by my friend.

I have heard about such relationships many times, and it is not friendship, it is parasitism. And I heard about it from interviews with problem gamblers. When they had big wins, their "friends" often returned to them. These gamblers became the center of attention, and all because they paid, and other people took advantage of this.

This I think has happened most of the time anywhere in the world considering these kind of "friends" just wanted to be part of that winnings and they are there mostly for the benefits. Though it is not an issue for me because I know that was just natural especially here in my place but that won't happened to me anymore because I am an introvert and no one would know if I won in gambling and that was just a natural form of barrier to those kind of people around us.

That's completely true. I think it's very common for individuals to have that urge of going closer to people who already achieved success or even those who are successful in gambling, and some of these people have ulterior motives, and honestly, I've also observed that this is mostly common in gambling.
I think by being an introvert and by always keeping certain things to yourself you'll be able to protect yourself from those people who are only coming close to you simply because of what they stand to achieve from you or people that are only in your life simply to benefit from your success.

It's really cool to hear that you don't need other people's support because they want to benefit from you. That's what independence looks like. But in most cases, gamblers need other people's approval, even if that approval only comes from those who like to receive gifts. That's why they say friendship is priceless.
