Gambling to make a payment

[hustler1984]

hi.. hustler1984 here  #degen4life

im curious how many people here have gambled in order to have enough money to make a payment. imagine this scenario:  you have a loan payment that will come out of your account at midnight... its for 300$ and you got 260 in the bank. what would you do??

personally.. i would put 20$ on and try to make $60 from it. if i lose id try with another 20-40  and try to win 80-100 with it.

if you dont do anything youll be hit with 100$ in nsf charges and a hit to your credit.

im out.. peace #degen4life

If it really comes down to that, I would ask a friend irl to lend me $40 since credit card interest is literally going to kill you in the long run. I'd try to conserve money from the next paycheck and every other one after to pay back the friend and make sure this never happens again.

Never resort to gambling to pay debts. The desperation will make you lose much, much more than you could ever hope to get in the long run.

yeah it just sounds like a bad idea all together                               
make payment then gamble sounds much more responsible imo
... but then again... im in debt due to gambling... very irresponsible...

[Kippo]

fact- never use your own money in gambling if you want to make profit. ( try to get free money/balance from giveaways/challenge/faucets)

Make a payment from gambling? It's hard tbh. If the scenario like that, i would put $10, just try my luck. If i busted then i will stop.

You will feel tension, as you NEED it. So, big chance to lose...

Gambling should be just as form of entertainment, from funds, you can afford and are ready to lose. Otherwise it can easily became into problem...

yeah of course... but that would not be the same as... lets say haveing a 20 dollars  on hand and needing  to make a  40 dollar payment to a compant for electricity, then deciding to gamble the 20 to make it x2 to then pay bill lol

Well, you are good if you win, but if you lose? you lose all your money and no electricity for a month

Thats a wrong strategy which might lead to losing all of your money. I'd just tried to work or do something else for that instead of gambling.

If you have a bill you have to pay never ever gamble with the money, because you could end up losing it then not being able to pay the bill or payment and get charged with late pay fees

good advice,              
listen to the rainbow horsey unicorn guy^ kek.
i gotta say... i learned the hard way....

When I first gambled years ago, my objective was profit. I lost because of this. Now I win more by being comfortable losing my bank roll. Gambling has a lot to do with emotions, if you are conformable losing your money, I find you usually win more

I removed 128k of satoshis that would be $ 5, but while all the transactions that I made I deducted $ 1 and what they got was $ 4

It is risky, but if it is a real situation, it may be that someone uses this practice. The safest would be to look for a friend and expose the situation to see if there is possibility of a loan.

[peel1]

that's WAYYYY to risky and can go bad real fast Id just ask for a loan from one of my friends cuz if you bust that 60 your fucked.

[kolloh]

You should never gamble money you need. You should only ever gamble what you can afford to lose.

[Etude]

This is a very pressuring scenario but a typical one for us gamblers.

What if you would lose it all? How were you planning to pay that bill? lol

money and friends dont mix well either imo                                                 
but taking from friends to pay rather than play to win is even worse if u lose

[Jerryx08]

I will depo all my balance so that it will be economic from tax. one i have $300 i will persiu more so that i can have capital next time cause playing casino is much easier to multiply you buggatis

[Gueen4455]

not literally because you can lose in gambling not anytime you won

[zeriko]

Personally I would probably attempt to win some more money to pay off the debt even though I rationally know that that's not the best idea

i tried doing that... i paid it off one time then went back into even more debt that before ... gambling wont stop there... no it wont

[chrisconn63]

id only do it if it wasnt an important top priority payment. because if i gamble on stake my chances of paying that payment drop to about 5%

[neich]

Never use money wich is needet
