Funny enough this is virtually the taught that actually draw almost all active gamblers to gambling especially if you are in the area where gambling is seen as a common thing. It's a sad truth but it is what it is and even with all the advice in the whole world, I can bet that this taught can't be changed in the mentality of a very large population.
You're right gambling is a part of many people's character and there's nothing you can do about it.
Many are gamblers by nature and it is useless to go against instincts, you need to understand your weaknesses and limit yourself.
Gambling itself has existed as long as mankind has existed from the gladiators of ancient Rome and chariot racing to online bookmakers and slot machines.
A player will always find a place to play and it seems to me that if a person gives himself an account and plays with an understanding of the risks and not on the last money, it is the best option.
The worst thing is to play in an unsteady state of consciousness, drunk or trying to win back after losing and if you do not make such gross mistakes, gambling will be limited to your financial risks and will be similar to trading or buying shares, which in fact are also gambling, only legalized.
I had to pick out on particular statements you made, which makes lots of sense to me, (understanding of the risks and not on the last money) one thing I understand is that no matter how bad people say gambling is it would never stop gambling from existing cause life itself is full of risks just that some people forget to manage the risks, they'll just take unnecessary risks without thinking about the consequences, stuffs like gambling when they're broke, gambling with the wrong state of mind, trying to beat the house, those are the kind of stuffs that caused many gambling to go broke, get addicted and make others feel that gambling is bad. Every mistake has a consequence and the consequences of not gambling responsibly or applying risk management is addiction, and we all know what gambling addiction can lead to.
Without gambling life would be boring, besides gambling is an important part of life and very often it helps to achieve success, if you use gambling correctly in your work and professional activity.
The most difficult thing is to understand where the boundary is when risk and excitement begin to destroy a person from the inside, making him a hostage of adrenaline when betting, trading or other gambling.
In today's world, you don't even need to look for a casino, go there and play machines, now it is enough to install an application on your smartphone or computer and you can immediately start playing, which means that discipline should be in the first place, given the temptations that are always around.
For those who can not stop I have only one piece of advice - play with small money, if you can not stop and do not deceive yourself that you can stop when you go in, it is better to admit honestly that without gambling is hard for you and just minimize the bets so that they do not affect your life.
And perhaps even more important when gambling, never borrow to do so, that's the biggest red flag.
Totally depends on a certain individual on which there are those people who could be able to live or not to be bored even if gambling doesnt exist. We do know that there are tons of things on which you can make yourself that get involved with on which at the time that you've been that able to find yourself getting the fun and entertainment without the need of risking your money then this would be the best shot.
Gambling when you are broke? You are just that making things even more that riskier on your part on which we know that it could be resulting into that suicide or ending up on someones life whenever they cant be able to handle the anxiety and disappointment at the time that your finances had been greatly affected or simply you have been that sleeping on the streets.
When you are broke then its just common sense that you wont be needing up to risks up ahead into those money that you do have left in your hand. There are tons of situations into those people who had been decided to take a gamble with that last money just because they are aiming for it to be multiplied on which this will be resulting into that kind of making money or trying out to resolve the problem but actually most of the time people do messed up even more because of such decisions. There might be those lucky one who did able to pull through but we do know that not all would be having that kind of mentality at the time that we do deal up with gambling and on the last money we do have. Some people are still sane when it comes into the decisions that they had made out and some are just that too desperate and thats why they do came up with this kind of option because they do know that they can be able to do but when shit happens then the situation becomes even more shittier and thats why some people cant be able to handle up their stress and anxiety on which it do ends up for them to get suicide. Its normal that you do need up to find solutions to make money but gambling isnt one of those and must avoid as much as possible.
