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?
Of course is a normal thing in gambling whenever time you win in gamble you show love to your friends and your follow gamblers as well but most people only show love to only their follow gamblers though is just about choice if you win in gamble you can decide not to give anyone and nobody will question you for not showing love but that will be too selfish of that person. Though in my country showing love when you win in gamble is not under must is just a matter of choice you can give to them if you wish for me I always give whenever time I win in gambling more especially to those who are present in that very place of course that's how we do in my country, we only give to those you're present in that place.
