In my country, there is literally a word for money or gift given by gamblers. We call it ”balato”. When someone wins the lottery, many people would ask you for a “balato”. Of course it is just in all good nature but usually even just the neighbors will ask you for this. It is embedded in our culture to value community and give to others when we are blessed so when a gambler earns some good profit he feels the need to treat the people he knows.
Like I said, this is usually in good nature but I actually despise this “balato” culture we have. A lot of gamblers lose their earned money from doing this. I too would want to treat the people I love when I have the money but doing too much would result to money loss. It’s not being selfish, it’s just being smart.
What about you? Do you also often treat others when you get good money from gambling? Or you also think that there are better ways to spend the money you got from gambling?
This is a very important question that you asked because the fact of the matter is that money from gambling is one thing that comes from the sweets of an individual because it not very easy making money from gambling so if the money gotten from gambling is huge what I usually do is to use the money in buying something that I can use in remembering the win that I got from gambling
One thing we need to know about gambling is that we need to pity gambler's because it's not easy before getting a win because if one calculate all the losses that have been recorded by a gambler you will know that it's not easy and will not be expecting money from a gambler who just got a win which is likened to getting a fresh air
