I love your videos but please stop gambling. In the long term you will never make money. I know you are desperate but this is not the right way out of your problems.
@@askjapan9669By this year you will have a million subscribers and more so best not to gamble but you have to make the decision yourself whether to gamble or not
@@askjapan9669 I think you need to think about things you really like to do (hiking, a book club, art, sports like tennis or golf) and maybe take a class or join a club and meet people who like to do the same thing. You can make friends, be happier and save money.
The man can do what he wants with his money, he hardly spent a lot of money really. Many hobbies cost a lot more, if it's excessive then fair but based on what is seen here, it's not.
It is impossible to make money in the long term. The only reason that gambling exists is that you lose money doing it. Please don't do it. It's fine to have fun doing it as long as you assume that you'll lose all the money you put into it.
I’ve seen people ruin their lives over gambling. Their families, house, finances, all gone. Please don’t gamble, it’s a gateway to something much worse.
Gambling for a bit fun is fine however gambling when you need to make monry is the worse reason to gamble. There's a reason you'll never see a rich man buying scratch cards.
I think you gained 10,000 subscribers within a week? Either way, congratulations for reaching 30k subscribers. I hope your channel continues to grow so fast.
Gambling is a tax on desperate people. You explain that you play because you need to make more money but it will only result in more loss. I respect your wish to provide for your family, but this isn't the way. Good luck to you! 頑張れ
This channel is on a tear brother. Glad to see it doing so well. I hope it continues to grow and you generate some good extra income for you and your family. 🙏🏾
Honestly, at the rate you're going, you could think about investing more into your youtube and less on gambling. Your channel is growing pretty quickly and the Ad revenue could be a nice boost financially.
すげえ！ Just watched your other video this morning and you had 28k subscribers and now you’re over 30k! Can you do a video on what a normal workday looks like for a 50 year old Japanese man?
I'm also turning fifty this year. Put your money into paying your house off early or your kids college fund. The house always wins in the end. No one makes money gambling.
I struggle with a similar situation, but I think when there are thoughts of "I need", it creates stress, and closes the mind. Instead if the thoughts are grateful, of "I'm glad I have ______", then the mind starts to function differently. Maybe if you invested the money into a better lunch, then you can eat with your coworkers, then maybe you can be friends with one, and have another option for saturdays, etc... it's just an example.
My friend, your UA-cam channel is starting to do very well, so keep being honest, share your thoughts, and you'll make far more money with your channel than you will gambling. ;)
I am so glad to see your channel blowing up! Keep up the great work, and thank you for being so open with us. :) I am half-Japanese; my father is Japanese and my mother is French Canadian. I just subscribed now, but I've already watched 6 or 7 of your videos and really enjoy them. You will have 100k subscribers in no time if you keep it up, so huge congrats! 😊
I am so sorry for your troubles. :( I understand how you feel, my friend. Also, I have won some money gambling before but I usually lose money, unfortunately.
I think your videos are great, and a fantastic insight into the Japanese culture and way of life. You also speak beautiful English, which is a hard language for Japanese speakers. I’ve always had a keen interest in Japan and I am learning the language in preparation for visiting, and your skill at the English language inspires me to keep learning Japanese. I find your videos informative and inspirational. One final note, I don’t mind that you gamble a bit, and I don’t agree with the judgemental comments from people saying you should not gamble. You are a grown man and you can do what you want. Anyone judging you should also look at themselves because I am sure they are not perfect, although they probably think they are. Keep making videos! You have a big fan here 😄
It is really nice to see you outside. Though I hate gambling because every time I've gambled I've lost (seriously, never won anything) I do wish you the best in your pursuits. Cheers.
Gambling causes the same brain addiction as Heroin, cocaine, meth etc... I know, became addicted and it gets worse and worse before you realize and can stop it.... it is possible to quit, but the most difficult thing to quit ever
i totally appreciate that when you are desperate to get ahead the thought of winning something substantial might seem attractive but EVERY form of gambling has you with less than 50% chance of winning. Even if you win short term, if you persist you will lose in the long run. I would humbly suggest you use that money on some of the things you have mentioned you struggle with. i wish all the very best
Hey AskJapan, I'm currently learning Japanese, and was wondering if there is any television shows you would recommend, not for learning Japanese, but television shows that you have enjoyed?
Good luck man! Hope you win some. I get you man, I throw a bit of money here and there. Just remember golden rule, only gamble what You can afford to lose 🙌
Your transparency is amazing man. There are a lot of people in the comments telling you what they think you should do. I personally, understand the need to gamble, it's hope that you might break out of the monotony you're stuck in. Personally, I resort to one purchase of lottery tickets per week, it keeps the hope of a big win in my back pocket. The tickets in total cost $5 or 780 yen. I used to work at gas stations and liquor stores in college. I've seen numerous people spend half of their income or more on scratcher tickets hoping to win big. Strangely enough, there was always a person at each store I worked at (3 total) who had enough luck to win all of the tickets they bought, almost every time they bought them, but most people never won anything. Good luck out there I hope whatever you decide to do brings you great fortune.
Instead of gambling that 5 dollars a week you have a far better chance investing that money in a global index fund and net average returns of 10% a year, which would compound to about $20,000 in 20 years from just 5 dollars a week, but nobody wants slow money 😂
Hey man, two weeks ago you published a video where you said your mental and physical health is okay, but looking at the videos that follow afterwards I am a little concerned, are you sure you're okay man?
Or when your kids grow get married the house get divided upper floor lower floor and they will live rent free so they can collect that money to buy another home . For their grandkids .
You're my new favorite channel! As everyone else is saying, be careful with using gambling as a way to "make money" - you will just lose it. I imagine you're half-joking, and you don't seem to have a gambling problem, but if you do gamble, then do it: rarely, for fun, and for little money. I daydream about the lottery, too :) If I ever hit it big, I'll send some your way! Take care!
PS: I forgot to add something to an earlier comment. How did you end up learning English? Self-taught? School? Do you use it regularly at work or do you use it just for fun? Thanks.
You didn't go crazy and blow a huge amount. You def. were sensible in your bets. Gambling wide open would make your financial situation worse but what you were doing I don't think it's going to be super detrimental to your overall finances. I'm not sure how having a side hustle or business from home works where you live but you could find something with low initial cost up front and try to craft or something and maybe that would help in some way. Hang in there and keep on going no matter what. You only truly lose if you give up!
Your videos are interesting and calming. And your English is fantastic. Can you make a video about the area you're in? Just things like what the weather is like, what you can do in the local area etc. I think many of your subscribers would like to get something for your kids. Please make an Amazon Wishlist.
Interesting insight! I never knew horse racing was a thing in Japan. Also interesting to see you get Pokemon cards! Is it possible for you to buy stocks in Japan? In America it's easy these days, you can do it on apps on your phone I'm sure Japan has something similar. Stocks are a safer way to gamble your money in my opinion, plus you'd be contributing towards your economy. You've said the Japanese economy is struggling right now, I bet it would be a pretty good time to buy while things are low. Start with just a little bit and see how it goes :) Even if it goes low, it's still not as bad as throwing your money away on scratch offs. Stay healthy and hydrated! :)
I love your videos and have been watching you for a long time, but please don't gamble too much. You wont win, but you can use the money to help support your family or save it
LOL - The Pokemon card part was hilarious, especially after earlier losses on scratchies and horse betting... LOL I laughed so hard at his reaction to the cards I had tears in my eyes. That was gold. I loved this episode I will watch it again and again.
I used to go to the horse races a lot for a year or two as the track was just down the street. It was fun. The smell of the hot dogs and cigars in the air, the excitement of all the lineups. But I never won much. My dad would give me money to play the horses, and he would stay home. He was always lucky. He just was, and I would bring him back a fist full of money. He always played one horse to win, and that's all. My father won at poker, too. Anything to do with money. I went to the greyhound races for awhile, too, but they were not as much fun. I haven't placed a bet on anything in many years. I've never known anyone who "hit it big" with gambling. Do you have horse races in your area?
Off topic: can you make a small video how the japanese keyboard on pc and phone works? It's a little confusing with all the hiragana, katakana and kanji
Remember: You are the one in control of your environment. Help your wife find a job. There is no such thing as a shameful job, even cleaning toilets or working in McDonalds. She can find something part time and take care of the time during the rest. Communication is key. Speak to her and get control* of your environment.
Do it for fun but judt make sure its like a actively like fishing or something lol just keep it in your mind as money gone lol hopefully you get your big win though!!!
Of course people say don't gamble, but you see life is a gambling game when making choices (going to a school, choose a career, a spouse, decide to have kid or not, invest in stocks, real estate, cryptocurrency etc). The key is to keep the spice of life with a little bit of change, turbulence and hope. When you grow up, you need those to keep the passion of life, it's called addiction or "new habits".
Instead of putting your money into gambling cards, try putting that money towards paying off your debts faster. Especially your mortgage. Also use the money to building some emergency savings in case you lose your job.
I went to Japan to live and work in my 20s back in the 1990s. I'm Japanese American, but I guess I look like a chump or something because whenever I went into a Pachinko parlor for the first time, I would win big. Often 100,000 yen or more. But I never went back to the same place. I think they try to hook new people with a big win and I looked like the type that would get easily hooked. But the joke was on them. I never lost because I always quit while I'm ahead and never chased the next win at the same place. This isn't intended to be advice, by the way. I'm just saying what happened.

Can you tell us whats your net profit on gambling?
Of course people say don't gamble, but you see life is a gambling game when making choices (going to a school, choose a career, a spouse, decide to have kid or not, invest in stocks, real estate, cryptocurrency etc). The key is to keep the spice of life with a little bit of change, turbulence and hope. When you grow up, you need those to keep the passion of life, it's called addiction or "new habits".
Marriage is much more of a risk than $17/week on scratchers.
Instead of putting your money into gambling cards,
try putting that money towards paying off your debts faster.
Especially your mortgage.
Also use the money to building some emergency savings
in case you lose your job.
