What comes into your mind when you see a gambler?

[|MINER|]

Gamblers are always associated with being not responsible person, it's due to the stigmatisation and addiction along with the religious beliefs. But things have changed, people can gamble without being an addict just like how someone drink alcohol and not became an addict. So I don't think any less of them until they show serious signs of an addict.

In this case I think it is very difficult to make a quick judgment just by watching a person gamble because we do not know how much they actually gamble. However if we know them personally and know that they are spending more time than they should be on gambling. And most of the time they are living their lives through debt then of course we can judge them as irresponsible gamblers in our judgment which is what I basically do.

We can draw broad conclusions about how addictive gambling can be without closely observing an individual. We hear about compulsive gamblers even though we do not see them. Even though not all of those tales may be true, we can still evaluate our own gambling habits and acknowledge that we have made poor gambling decisions at some point.

However, I disagree with those who see all gamblers as the same. Some gamblers are disciplined, while others are not. Thus, the problem with gambling is not the gambling itself, but the gambler.

Since I started as a player I always knew that things were the same with some people, I mean, I would go every 3 or 4 days and they would always be there, after a while I found out that one of them was the owner and the other was a man who was always Sitting watching the roulette and he didn't play, he would only play when there were a lot of people playing , and whenever I went I would see him there too. I don't know if the man had a family, but the only Conclusion I could draw at that moment was that the man perhaps analyzed the roulette routines, some progression or something like that, and that he had money and a lot of it.

I think it's broad when you say gambler. It's better if it's "addicted gambler," the people who cannot control themselves and always want to go and gamble all the time. They wouldn't do anything to control themselves, which will always be their priority.

What I see in a gambler is just a risk taker. They are risk takers.

[Millionaire]

One thing that comes to my mind when I see people who gamble is lonely people and those who do not have fun entertainment and they seek pleasure through gambling, but there are also people who see people who gamble as people who cannot be responsible for themselves when in fact not everyone is like that, I am a gambler but I rarely gamble every day and only at certain times but I am still responsible for my family and myself so don't judge people badly just because they gamble.

Well there are so many things that comes into my head when I see a gambler, and it depends on what state the gambler is currently in. If it’s a gambler that’s always complaining of losing money, then I’ll immediately know that such a gambler is either addicted or seriously gambling as a source of income, because this is often the misconception that majority of the gamblers out there have. Because anyone who actually gamblers for the real reason, which is fun and entertainment, they’d know that gambling losses are inevitable and thereby would be ready to lose whatever money they put into gambling, and whether they win or lose, it makes no much difference to them.

If a person decides to gamble, then it is a function that they would like to encounter intentionally. From what has been observed there are different trends in which the each of the persons views this particular game; while some view it as entertainment some feel ‘burdened’ when they experience losses. It may be seen that people have different opinions regarding the outcomes which has been achieved and it is quite natural. The crucial factor is what concerned the issue of winning and losing and the effects that gambling stays an activity to provide fun and enjoyment with a low pressure to achieve the aim it was created for.

I completely agree with you on this and I will also say that not all gamblers are the same, but it is also true that gambling sites develop their games in such a way that people become addicted to them. Not just gambling sites, but all the social media we see on mobile phones today, or mobile companies, all want people to become addicted to their services. So that they can increase their revenue amount more and more.
Then to say another thing, I have to say that the above reasons are the same as the ones we have made bad gambling decisions in our past.

All kinds of digital companies undertake the conditions to capture and maintain the user’s attention level such as gambling options and social media. The more that people will transact with the company, the more profits it will receive from its service providers. This makes us need to be more conscious of how we are spending our time as well as our money in particular such that we avoid the wrong habits. Even watching Poker games and other digital games which are available have an aspect of gambling and therefore if one does not have set guidelines then they are likely to land in a tight corner. Thus, translating experiences into knowledge thus reduces the chances of repeating the same mishaps in the future. Therefore, being able to learn the ways of this industry will make be wiser in a way as to when to quit and when the decision made are beneficial to ourselves.

You pointed a lot of necessary things. The relationship between a betting site and a gambler is such that both parties want to win, but the betting site appears to benefit at all times because it always hosts the gambler, and when we compare this relationship to a typical relationship on a football field, we see that just as a home team gains some home advantages, so does the betting site, resulting in the betting site always winning in this situation.

The only way a gambler can benefit from the betting site is if he or she is not overly eager to win. With this, the gambler will spend less time and resources gambling, resulting in fewer losses, which I consider a gain.

That's the only way to avoid these traps of in modern era. I think we have to make our life in a proper routine and also follow that routine continuously and then I think even we do all these things gambling, family time and also working time & rest time we will still have progress in our life.
This is really necessary in this era because even modern and digital Technology help us to get out the whole world in our hand but it has also the negative site. But if we can maintain our life  routine then I think all is also goes well...

Yeah, that's true. The best way to avoid these traps is to have a good daily routine and follow it. If we balance gambling, family time, work, and rest, we can still make progress in life. Technology gives us access to everything, but it also has its bad sides. If we manage our time well, things will work out fine.

The first thing that do ring on my mind each time I see a gambler is "time for fun" because I know that there will be an avenue to relate together with each other, gist about gambling and also have fun while being together, gamblers are always having the responsibility of bearing for each others in ideas, suggestion and gambling related information which they may relate with each other, this is a very common kind of lifestyle with gamblers.

yeah if it’s someone we personally know usually we can see all the harmful stuff that they experience maybe we see it manifest in physical ways or we see a change in behavior maybe he’s bit more aggressive and defensive or maybe he is starting to pull away from society in that case you can observe more closely and see what’s wrong

When a gambler meets another gambler, if they have similar bets, there is bound to be a lot of discussion, especially where advice can be given or taken for future bets, and one's position in previous bets can also be known. Moreover, if someone wins an exceptional bet or wins a big sum, it can also be known. When a gambler meets another gambler, there is a lot of joy between them. But if there is a gambler and a ordinary person, then those person may ignore the gambler if that gambler is an addicted gambler.
