    Gambling destroys so many people’s lives . It shouldn’t be allowed. Gambling shouldn’t exist. Imagine how much better the world would be without it

      I agree mate well said gambling is one of the worst addiction someone can have because the suicide rate is the highest among all other addictions it's the devil like any other addiction the sooner you free yourself from gambling and that evil spirit the better your life will be

      I disagree, I gamble for fun. I have a preset limit that I go into the casino with that I can afford to lose.
      Once it is gone then I leave, sometimes I leave with more then I came in with but, the most important thing to me is that I have fun.
      I know people that spend thousands going to sporting events each year and to me that is a waste of money but, as long as they can afford it and have fun doing it then who am I to judge.
      Gambling should be for entertainment only and it is just like anything else you have to have a little self control.
      But to just throw out a blanket statement saying it shouldn't exist or be allowed is just silly.

    This is an excellent video. The one thought that popped into my head while watching your video, is that there is enough time left in most gamblers' lives to quit gambling and build wealth. Gambling is icky and will bring you down. Use your money for bills and things you need when they wear out. Save the rest. And if you can save that same money that use to go towards gambling for ten or twenty years, you will be doing just fine.

    One thing I find really helpful (that I wish I had started doing a long time ago) is using budgeting software to track and categorize all of my income and expenses. It can quickly paint a very clear picture of where your money is going, and hopefully will put some things into perspective to help you make better financial decisions moving foward.

    I'm deciding to stop this early at 20 years old before it gets out of control. My bank statements with medical expenses are already bad enough. I probably haven't spent a thousand in total on gambling yet but my guess is at least a few hundred.

    Man, I just have a problem with a family member gambling I don't gamble myself I never saw the need besides, seeing how it all works with like penny slots and online gambling in video games for stupid items. Does anyone know how they can convince a family member to stop? They're really stubborn about changing their ways, it is probably like a 30 year something addiction for them. Does anyone know how to talk to someone older like that about stopping their addiction?

    • @DerekBearzi
      @DerekBearzi  Před 10 měsíci

      Sadly for people that have been this way for 30 years, its going to be near impossible to convince them to change. They need to be willing to make the change themselves. Or maybe some kind of family intervention would help

    My friends continuously show off their winnings on betting sites and say I should try. I have stopped for a while. Went back in the betting app, and lost immediately the small amount I put in.
    My friends are pressuring me to do it. Last time I told them, it is not worth it, they laughed their asses off.
    What I do now?

    • @sandyknowles5638
      @sandyknowles5638 Před 11 měsíci +2

      You should disassociate from them. They will keep you tied down to a lifestyle you no longer want. Gambling is such a deep hole, you keep digging with the hope of a big payoff that never comes and when it does, you give it all back. Stop digging the hole. I just filled out my self-exclusion form today after over 10 yrs of gambling my paychecks = working for free.
      Also, realize, your "friends" are not showing off their losses - which are always more than any winnings. The house always wins.
