Poor people gamble with the hope that they might get a life-changing amount from their gambling activities since that will change their lives forever. That is the reason why they usually gamble despite not having a lot of money because that hope never dies, especially if you know that it is the only thing that gives you some hope for a change in your life and there is no other way for you to get a lot of money and get a better life for yourself and your family.
However, I don't recommend anyone this thing because gambling is not something that provides riches to almost everyone. So if there are a million poor people gambling, only a few out of them might manage to get something significant from it and others will simply be wasting their money.
If they keep gambling without trying to find another job and only rely on gambling, they will probably lose even more money because gambling is not for making money. It may be necessary to provide people with an understanding of the long-term impacts of gambling so that they can slowly leave gambling and look for other sources of income. They put their families at risk when they cannot earn money from gambling.
That kind of people should stop and avoid gambling. If they have found a job and continue to gamble, this will only make them addicted to gambling even deeper. And if ever they make money in gambling, the ending will always be the same and those winning will surely lose in gambling. Most of the time, gamblers without any other source of income do not have any other idea where to get money once they experience winning.
We will never recommend them or anyone who wants to earn money through gambling because we have seen many impacts on people who gamble. We advise these people to look for more promising jobs rather than gambling. They should also realize that gambling is not a way to make money.
I agree, that instead of having a better life, they only give problems to themselves. Financially stress can become the reason for the breakdown of a person. People who experience that think differently and it makes their family worried. If they don't have the capability to provide for their gambling habit, better to stop and find a job.
