I have this principle of not gambling when I'm financially down, some people might consider such a phase the best time to gamble because they might get lucky. For me I see it as a very easy way to get desperate, you become more stressed out mentally when your expectations keeps crashing. Putting your last hope on gambling can be very frustrating, that's why I wouldn't advice anyone that's broke to do it. Most wins I have had where times that I wasn't broke, I didn't stress about losing the money in my account. There's something about gambling when you are not broke.
Individuals need to understand what is good for them and have a principle that works for them. Some gamblers do have problems because they do not have good principles and do not adhere to what is good for them. Gambling is very risky, and it is not good to take a risk that you cant affod because losing money will cause significant pain. Risks in gambling need to be calculated, and it is always best when gamblers play with an amount they can afford. I don't think it is a good idea to gamble when you are financially down, as it can make one very greedy and desperate.
Well, I don't think there is any time that isn't right to gamble, it all depends on the gambler and his or her ability to have himself or herself under control, some persons gamble when they are financially down and ended up meeting their breakthrough through the same gambling, I recall a friend who had very little money left with him, after thinking of what to do with it, he ended up putting up some bets, he won and more than x25 the amount he initially had, it's true that luck differs but then, no one can tell when will he their lucky day..
Take the FedEx guy for example, the company was about to go bankrupt, he decided to travel to Las Vegas where he used the last $5000 he had to gamble, he ended winning over $25,000 according to the story, with the money, the company was able to continue operating until the managed to sort their financial issues, today, FedEx is one of the top courier companies in the world.
Gambling is really wild, it can literally change a lives, wining or losing. Imagine that a gambling changes the path of your lives, you just need to wish that it's a win. But always remember that luck isn't something that is always there or guaranteed, luck isn't a tool that can be used always 'cause no matter what we experience, wins rely on luck, if no luck then you'll lose. This is the reality that majority of us should know because not all of us will give this kind of chance where we go all in then kaboom, free money. Just don't think that it'll end up a good ending.
