$50 has different values to different gamblers in different locations of the world. The song gamblers $50 is a very small amount that they can risk due to the value that their currency has but to others trying to bet or gamble with $50 will be irresponsible gambling to them, and it would mean that they are using more money to gamble than they can afford to lose which is what is being advised against in this forum from one gambler to another gambler. Bet $50 if you know that you can risk it and do not try it if you know that you cannot risk that amount.
