When I first started gambling I won gambling for several days then I thought I would earn a small amount of money from gambling every day. After several days I made some money like this and suddenly one day I lost all the money due to excessive greed. I understand that gambling should not be overloaded and that gambling should not be taken as a profession. Gambling is fine for those who can take gambling as entertainment and those who gamble for money should stay away from gambling.
The way I see it is a little bit different here, fine, gambling can be better for those who are gainfully employed, after all, they will have more money to gamble and perhaps the instances of their losses will not affect them so much compared to those who are just struggling financially and still gambling to lose. But one thing I will not so much agree with is the fact that being gainfully employed will stop you from gambling more or wagering higher. What I see here is greed, nothing else, and it is until you curb or control it, you will never be healed of it, not even if you have more money, it will only push you to risk more. To think it my way, look around you, you would discover that many people are gainfully employed but still gamble more, while some are not so financially buoyant, yet they limit their gambling activity because they are contented and are wise with it. This shows that anything about gambling is not rigid for all persons, it's about individuals in this context.
The point is that gambling is more recommended for those who do have a job that produces in the real world, none other than because by having an income, the defeat of gambling will not make you experience too much trouble, because by having an income, at least you still have a number of budgets from your monthly salary to make ends meet. In the sense that gamblers who do not have a job or are unemployed are not really recommended to gamble because they do not have the income to finance their gambling activities and the fear is that it is very possible for them to take out a lot of loans or even commit crimes just to gamble.
I've already captured most of your points in my post and I must say that you have a point in some sense of this, but when it comes the sense of the context in which I replied to, I strongly believe that greed is still the highest factor to consider here, and not about being employed or not. As I said, being employed will only make more money available to you to gamble with, which invariably means you can also waste more money in the process. So, being employed doesn't make you automatically disciplined or a better planner when it comes to gambling. Your point can only prove well in the area of extra backup cash, which if not carefully utilized, will only amount to more financial ruins. Also, gambling is for everybody, the only distinction is that we should be responsible in it. Those who have more may gamble more and those who have less may gamble less. All that matters is for us to consider our finances and gamble cautiously and proportionately without intimidation or fear. We may gamble with money that will not pain us, and even an employed person may still be able to part ways with a few bucks for gambling. But such should not just go beyond that.
Wait a minute, so you believe that because someone is not employed, such could be tempted to take a loan to gamble? Do you think that is as easy as that? What collateral would such use, and even if he was lucky to get the loan through some cheap loaners with a higher interest rate, would such be able to pay back in most cases? Such does not have a job, so with time, the process would hook and there would not be any means for him to borrow money again. It is discouraging to take a loan by this set of people. And do you think the employed gambler is exonerated from this as well? I don't agree with that, they can also take loans if they exhaust the money they have. We should just pray we are not addicted to gambling, a lot are betting in advance of their salaries and the fact that they are employed often motivates them since they have the means to easily pay it back.
For this, I do not see the "thin line" you were trying to draw regarding the loan between the employed and jobless gamblers. All I see is individuality and how engrossed/addicted people (employed/unemployed) are to gambling. If either of them can't be disciplined enough to control themselves, the story will always be bad due to emotion that entails greed, fear, anxiety, curiosity, depression and even worse.
