In such situation, its better to avoid getting into gambling. I understand its going to be really challenging for those who are addicted. We depend on money to manage all our needs. So when there is a little, its good to plan with the little amount we have. Its easy to say or advice but yes i agree, its hard to practice though. Self realization and self control will only help to manage the situations.
At this time of pandemic people really wanted to have a good earning in a week or month to sustain the daily needs of their family and sometimes being a gambler they are taking the risks of using their money remained hoping that they could double it which this is totally kind of risk and I have encountered such this kind of gambler. I am a gambler too but I just feel good that I have a good self control in my gambling budget and a 3% - 5% from my earning is enough for me.
In my opinion, making gambling as a source of income is not only high risk, but highly discouraged. Because it is very difficult to make a fixed
profit of 3%-5% from gambling, if you can do that I am amazed by you, means that your luck is very good in the world of gambling. There are
still many ways to be able to make money from the internet that is much safer, and has little risk. I highly recommend playing gambling just
for entertainment, then the budget that I prepared for gambling was only extra money from the income I received. Even though I ended up losing
all the capital I had while gambling, it didn't become a burden for me.
