Gambling

I play the lottery every week, now that I've got a wife and kid, I can't just off myself so a shitload of money is the only way out

idiot tax
sometimes one lucky idiot gets a measly fraction of house money back and does nothing impactful with it

Don't be black

Poor man tax

talk to a professional, i don't care if you think its all psychobabble bullshit but $150 to $200/week is only going to get worse if you don't seriously try to change your thoughts and behavior.

Only achoholic spics engage in that shit

I have to get to 7-Eleven before 2215 every night to get my beer, because at 2215 exactly, this little Filipino woman comes in and buys like $30 in scratchers and Powerball tickets and there's only on cashier, so a line of 5 or 8 people builds up behind her. So annoying.

You're literally better off playing blackjack every week you fucking degenerate

>OY VEY, $150 to $200 a week on gambling? You'd better spend the same again talking to a (((professional)))

good post bro. i don't know the answer but assume it is on a state by state basis.

you have to be particularly retarded to buy lottery tickets.

if you want to stop being retarded maybe read something basic like 'the drunkards walk'

Tell yourself that you don't have to stop 'forever', but just quit for a month and see how much better your situation gets. Take all the money you saved and buy something nice for yourself. Look at what you bought and think
>would I rather have a pile of used worthless scratchers or this cool thing I just bought.
That might be a good way to show you how much money you are wasting.
You know the odds are greatly stacked against you gambling user. This problem can only get worse.

Christ that's a lot. I spend maybe that in a whole month between lotto scratchoffs and video lottery. You should call that problem gambling number. Seriously.

I have more respect for someone who spends his money on heroin than vs someone that just throws it away in lottery tickets w/ wishful thinking. At least the first one is getting his moneys worth

Legitimately get help

>Stop being poor
>Have sex

he is still more likely to get something useful out of visiting a psychiatrist than hit it big on a scratch ticket. No one ever gets ahead with scratch offs, at least not for long

Your weak minded. Realize this and over come it. Its helping me quit smoking user.

Good way to move money away from subhumans. Keep going.

stop being an idiot lets say you lose a minimum of 150 dollars a week. Thats 7800 a year. After 20 years thats 156000 or a new house. Your addiction is throwing away a new house one you could rent out lets say 3 bedrooms and a minimum of 500 dollars each. You could make 1500 a month doing nothing except renting thats more then enough to live on with no job at old age.

Can someone convince me the lottery is even real? I feel like this could be a great trick on the part of the governors and stuff.. Pretend to give away hundreds of millions and pocket it all, only putting one of their homely cousins on the news every so often to pretend they won.

I dunno, I'm not a psychotic, I'm sure it exists in some form. I've won a scratch off or two, but nothing major. I just don't have much reason to believe in it, like the rest of society

start playing magic/opening packs
its gambling but even if you dont pull expensive cards you can have a fun time actually playing the game and at the very least your left with some cool art

ADDICTED TO SCRATCH OFFS. EVERYONE BOO THIS MAN.
THIS ALSO ISNT POLITICS.

scratch offs are better than playing the mega millions that shit is boomer tier, i'm one of the few people i know who has raked in more than he's spent on lotto tickets and usually i can go for about 200 dollars or so in the + but i only play maybe 3 times a year and i never buy more than 60 dollars worth of tickets. (if you are buying any ticket less than 10 dollars your a chump )

The lottery is a tax on the poor. It's realpolitik.

My friends and coworkers are really good at losing money at the casino. But one of them won some money one time so its totally worth it

I do exactly the same thing but with cocaine and hookers. My advice is fuck it, that’s what I always say.

just keep scratching bro, you can't win if you don't play. you can't even win if you play but the dream is nice until you lose

At least gamble on something with better odds..

It's a tax on the poor

>Magic cards

Deliciously evil.

Pay your essentials first, THEN gamble. And game a responsibility. Only allow yourself a certain amount of money to be spent.

Humans are hardwired to gamble, the dopamine reward from taking a risk is too powerful to overcome, you have to channel it into a area where you can achieve +ev like some minor entrepreneurialism. If gambling is your thing then at least switch to Poker, you can at least study and practise and improve your results, slots, Roulette, scratchies, lotteries, casino games etc are parasite games that will utterly fucking rinse you, guaranteed.

sure you wont win big and be set for life but on average its a WAY better return than the lottery plus your left with something after

>whats Jow Forumss take on gambling because i loose 150 to 200 week mostly on scratch offs and im addicted to it any suggestions.

quit being a fuckin retard. at least go to the casino so your odds aren't complete shit. or just kys is prob the best option

lotteries are a tax on poor people. Stop buying lotto tickets and invest you shitters.

Holy shit, 200 USD a WEEK??!!
I just play three lotterys every week and that costs me 100 USD every five weeks.

It's stupid.

Waste your money on guaranteed pleasure like alcohol, drugs, prostitutes, vacations, etc.

Invest in what? AAAAAA........

>150-200 on scratch-offs a week
Are you daft?

You can even combine these to multiply the pleasure. There's nothing quite like drunkenly fucking a whore while doing coke of another's ass in an exotic location

Jesus, buy a 1 x 30 belt grinder for $100 and make things.

kay doubleyou ess

200 a week jesus christ. put it in the stock market. thats basically gambling but youre way more likely to make money off it rather than scratch offs. do it yourself thru robinhood or open a brokerage account somewhere and have them do it for you.

Gambling is for fags

educate yourself. You likely have your phone or computer on all day, you have no excuse.

Gambling and especially the lottery is poor people tax

Baste

>Rents a hooker for 1'000 USD because that's the going rate here
>Get beat up and robbed by her friends after
>Get a fine of 2'000 USD because buying sex is illegal here but selling it is legal
>Lose your job
>Lose your friends
>Lose your family
>Get HIV or super-gonnorrhea

Sounds like a good time.

Gambling is a tax on the stupid and undisciplined.

>prostitutes
boomer detected

All forms of gambling are theft. If you fall for it, even "the sport", you deserve to have your money taken.

All forms of "lottery" too, Idiot Tax.

Got a 2 euro scratchy on my desk here. Didnt scratch it yet. Im getting itchy but i dont want to yet. I hope i can stretch it many days more

Gambling is jewery at it's finest. Stop.

don't care about what ppl do with their $$ unless they r using it to infringe upon another's freedom

also looolll:
>any form of gambling/lottery is against the law
>unless u buy from the state
hmm..

>any suggestions
only buy a lottery ticket when something 'impossible' happens, like when something happens where even if u were 2 try to do/repeat it, u would never be able to do it kind of thing or lightning striking 2x in the same spot
or just stop buying the fucking tickets

Tax law would fuck you in the ass.

I buy 2-3 numbers on lottery when its a massive multi week rollover

So maybe 1-2 times a year

When you get bad luck in life you get more tendency to buy some of these tickets i noticed. Its literally a lowkey addiction.

I mean at least gamble on something with better odds. Bet a sports game or do daily fantasy. Scratchoffs suck

Filters the money offf of the weak. Great way to jew yourself.

After being locked out of speculating in crypto and precious metals because I can not get a passport (which is the only accepted identification here) I feel kinda stuck. Short of building a mining rig and mining crypto and selling it for cash to locals ofcourse. But then I'd need to find one that can be still effectively mined on GPUs for a long time before someone makes an ASIC for it, and that is worth enough for it to pay for the power and mining rig and some left over.

what?
Do americans buy lottery tickets and then scratch them then and there at the counter without letting the line continue?

This

Not a single person ITT has won more than $100 in scratch offs and probably only have spending 300+ over time to finally get the $100 putting them in the hike but making them think "hey I won this time!"

Ok, a rare non shitpost from me.
Since you're loosing 150 - 200 a week on the lottery, spend it on bitcoin or put it into ETF's or some shit, if $7800 - $10400 a year is already doable by you then you could do well on that.
Normal lotteries are a waste of time but scratch offs make lotteries look like a sensible long term investment.
If you don't want to invest it, put $150-200 into a bucket each week and forget about it till you need new household shit or you need to get your car fixed or something and you won't have to give a shit paying for it.
In the meantime, if you get the itch to do something pointless, learn to code or something.

no, no one does that. but we do have people so lazy and degenerate that they don't even scratch the ticket just the bottom code and then immediately scan it to see if they won

She takes forever to choose her numbers for Powerball and then selecting her scratchers from a choice of something like 50 different ones.

I'm just there to give my $2.32 to the cashier (cute but brain dead) for my two tallboys of Natty Daddy so I can go home, drink them and forget how much my life sucks for a brief time.

I loke it to. My problem is more time than money. Try gambling less money.
