Whenever i remember my bad times i remember those peoples also who lost their everything in this gambling addiction. i want to know what you think about such peoples and how they need to survive after so much losses in their life.
I personally knows some people who are in big debt and they even cant recover that debt and tries to commit suicide every time . so guys can you tell me whats the best solution for them regain their happiness in their life ?

This thread is only for those peoples opinion who faced such situations and recovered or atleast know how to tackle such situations in easy way ( btw i know its not easy )

I had big debt before, but I didn't make that debt with gambling. Its a long story, but my only way out was stopping with everything and concentrating on work and paying back my debt. After work I don't go and have fun, if I'm not tired I go to walk but without buying ice creams, juices, coffees, or anything else. For months I spent money just on necessary things like food, transportation to work, and bills, the rest of the money went in saving to pay out the debt. Was it easy? Not at all, when you have money and habits its hard to change them for something not so good and interesting.
Just weak people think about suicide, they can't handle the pressure. Strong people will work 2 or 3 jobs and live with minimal cost as long as they are in debt, after months or years debt can be paid off. That is the best legal and honest way to get out from debts, and it worked for me. About other ways I don't wish to discuss, I been there and I know what kind of thoughts can come in mind, don't let them to pull you in deeper problems. Do you know about saying " It can't be worst then this", well it can remember that!

If you are on big debt and as an addicted gambler then you should completely stop and dont tend to play even more and speaking with those debts you should seek out help from others either on your relatives,family or friends for sure they would really understand your situation as of now and would help you out.The solution would really be on yourself,if you are really serious on quitting and plan to changed your life then you can definitely do such thing.

I'm not in that state but I know some people who lost everything in gambling addiction even their own life. One of the best example is what happened in the Philippines : http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2017/06/03/resorts-world-manila-timeline.html

Maybe they can't cope up with their sadness that's why they have made something like that but it's a reminder for all of us that like drugs the gambling industry is a pretty dangerous are, without self discipline and control you might one of the people who will go nuts and just go stealing and killing other people just to survive.
Last year when Ive lost almost 3000 dollars due to sports betting and have some issues financially I've realized that there are much more important than your own addiction like family. If you realized that your love ones and your life is at stake then maybe you can have some courage to control your addiction not just in gambling.

It's depend on gambler's religion and family support since that the most important in order to recover their mental before getting worse
Of course , it's need some time to pay their debt but with healthy mind, everything will go smooth later

what you wanna say if someone have debt like 10k and he is jobless ?

I would say, go get a job! Or maybe buy a lottery ticket... I don't know?

It is a sad predicament he is in, but nothing really we can do about his money debts. If there would be good people that could try and pay off his debts then that is the best thing for him. However, the root of the problem has not been solved. The problem here is that he is an addicted gambler and he does not even want to work to pay off his debts then we cannot do anything about him.

Doesn't makes any sense to relate it with religion  ::).
Just stop it immediately whenever you think you have crossed the limit and loaing control.
Don't think or even never think to recover your lost , it was the biggest mistake that common people always did.

it would be a miracle if someone suddenly arrived and paid off all the debts he had,
but this would be impossible
because rarely is there anyone who can help the gambler regardless of the debt winding that he is suffering
except for his parents who helped him

IN real time it is not possible, nowadays there is no helping nature like this. People all become selfish if they have enough money also they will not help others who are in trouble. So as you said the parents or brothers or sisters only the family members can help. The friends and other people just give free advice nobody will help.

So that's why when you start gambling you have to make sure that you will not go deeply involve in it otherwise you'll end up losing just like most gamblers do. Because once you started getting debts it will grow like a cancer in which nobody can help you even your own family until you'll be left alone. This will get you in a really bad situation and your world would become smaller.

Perhaps, for people who are in great debt to someone and he has always been billing you, maybe you can borrow money back to your friends to pay off your debts. At least your debt to the man you paid, and your debt to your friend you just made and you can ask time for your friend to pay. That's how many people do here.

Before I knew bitcoin I was a fiat gambler. I had a lot of loans too and it felt so sick if I remembered my past experience. If my father didn't pay all of my loans, idk what kind of life will I get today. After I got out of debt, I left gambling and try not to involve in it anymore. Time goes by until I read about bitcoin and it lead me to the world of gambling again. But nowadays I came with different point of view. I won't let gambling to take over my mind anymore. I don't want to get rich from it. I treat gambling as a game only and not as a way to get money.

So for people who still in debt, consider to ask the help from your relatives especially from your parents. If you try to pay all your debts with gambling, then the results will be even worse. Your debt will be increasingly mounting and will be difficult to overcome.

It's possible but the chances of someone helping you with that kind of reason is close to zero. Not all people are selfish the much better term here would be most people because I still see a few people doing random act of kindness towards people they don't even know like BiPolarBob here in forum who randomly pays loan of other users.

For anybody in gambling to have gotten so deep to this extent means its not longer a joke. I also know someone personally who faced similar situation and what was done for him was family members came to his aid and was put under serious observation to purge him out of the feeling of gambling completely and gradually became a normal person never to tow that part again.

Definately get professional help..

If you got balls deep into debt one way or another, it is very likely that it will happen again or even worse.

Professionals can help you analyze and realize your own behaviour so you can make the proper adjustments to it.

My advice on this current situation here is to change the way of life of a gambler's problem of a debt that is presently causing such circumstances like this. Mental problems could be getting worst if the family doesn't have any support for the person affected, and the person should be encouraged to take a stand for so that the debts will be paid. Sometimes it gets worsen and it may lead that a person will commit suicide when ha couldn't handle the pressure of the debts because of gambling. Positive minds is the best ways to do it, and that gambling that caused debts should be stopped while within the process of solving the debts.

Yes, only family members can help these kinds of fully addicted gamblers. It is not so easy job for family members because they need to watch these guys very closely otherwise they may again go to gambling if they get a chance. That's they first need to take professional help to remove gambling from their mind completely without that it is hard to control addicted gamblers.

My boss was once in debt due to gambling, it had occurred to him to end his life. Fleeing out of town far as can, the family he left behind accept the risk that he did. My boss was contacted by his brother about his wife and son being beaten by debt collectors. My boss struggled to work day and night 4 full days without sleep with drugs to pay off the debt he made. He said to me, don't make trouble in gambling with debt because the impact will befall your family. That point I take is family, life spirit is family.

I have an addicted person story and it is sad full story, but it is not belong to me, it is belong to my best brother, he has deeply addiction in gambling and i know he can't come back from his addiction. I always feel sad whenever i discuss about him, now still my heart is weeping, because he has lost everything only in gambling and he has a big debt. I am also gamble but i have no any debt to pay anyone. Because i know the solution only control your greediness and always have control on your mind that whenever you want to give up gambling, then only give up.

I'm not too addicted and didn't lost too much but I can relate with my uncle's addiction. He sold his two bungalow house because of his debt on the casino and some of his personal friends.


I can't blame them for being not aware that gambling can lose all of their assets. And my uncle did survived by starting again, he tried to stay away from those influence of his addicted friends in gambling and made his start up business. Luckily, he did survived.


This is the reality in the industry, there are people who can't their losses and wants to end their problem by ending their lives. But my uncle did never think to commit suicide.


Our family is a big help in these times, my uncle got a big support from us and his family. Giving him some advice and a hand to help.

I've been on a big debt when i was working in a casino. ofcourse I want to play also gambling that's why i decided to work from there. I have almost $100,000 debt on my bestfriend because I always go to him in order to have money to play with on casino but one time he decided to sue me. and I lost my bestfriend after 10 years I already cleared all my debts on him and also i have my new life now where i have my own business house and lot. I'm living on my own. thanks to bitcoin because It changed my life.

With 100% people in the world, 80% of them are in debt,even small or big amount. Before I had debt, what I did, I worked hard, avoiding spending on things that were not important,gradually getting rid of or decreasing gambling. Yes,It is not easy to avoid or eliminate the usual things, but I have to pay my debt. After I paid my debt, I did not even get back to what I used to be and learned to save what I have now. Right now I focus on bitcoin and appreciate my signature  campaign (nitrogensports.eu. If I want to gamble online I"ll make sure that I have a limit on myself.

agree with what you said mate. yes, in order to maybe avoid being in debt, epsecially that you are just in dept because of some nonsense things, then we should keep in mind that we must prioritize. see things and ask our selves if "will i ever able to pay this such amount?" "is this thing worth it for me to be in debt?" its just a matter of perception i guess.

having a debt for gambling is not makes sense because we must know that if we have a debt, then we need to payback the money and if we are only for gambling, then we are in trouble. i am telling my friend story which have a debt because of gambling and he tried hard to makes money but in the end he can not pay the money.

fortunately, his family know that my friend have a debt so his family asked him to stop playing gambling and his debt will payed by his family. and after make conversion and with long discussion about his bad habit, then my friend agree that he will stop gambling and then his family pay the money. after his family pay the money, my friend consult with therapist and after in rehabilitation for few months, now my friend can change his bad habit and he is not playing gambling again.

They are experiencing extreme loss and depression so they are getting up to the point that they try to kill themselves. Just like my favorite word, "No man is an island." This quote is very true, you can't survive alone without the help of others, your friends, family, adviser experts or any stranger that can help you to get through from that depression. The best solution is to have a social life.

I know of one guy who was addicted to gambling since 16 years old. He didn’t change after married and having 2 kids. He was in the same situation as what you described – Big debt and debtors went to his house and disturb his family.

He changed when he is in his mid-40s, he is lucky to meet a business partner who supports him in starting a business. Now, he does not gamble and work very hard for the business. He looks very happy when I met him few months back.

IMO, people will change when they see hope in their life. Perhaps a debt management repayment plan will help.

It's always good to have someone to talk to,someone we look up and rely too. We can't solve our battle alone, we need to move on and see the importance of the people who care to us. If gambling already change you,  who worsten your situations then think. Is it still worthy? Playing gambling is fun but playing too much might cause us to regret decisions.

Just don't kill themselves! Life really has a lot of things still to offer than just be miserable and thinking to kill themselves! The problem is that people get narrow minded whenever faced with problems. They think it is the end of the world of them and the only solution is to kill themselves. Well they are wrong, they can still pay back those debts and they can still live a happy life. It may be hard, but that is the consequence of what they did.

Dude, first of all you need to give them hope. When a person reaches the point of committing suicide that means he finds no hope of surviving. You need to make them realize that it is not the end.
Every end has a new beginning actually. Then tell them to join signature campaigns and give up on gambling. Also, do any sort of work that comes in their way. Tell them you believe in their capabilities even if you don't, at least they will find the courage to fight.

I know I have a gambling problem but it didn't came to me to borrow money just for the sake of my own addiction before. That is shameful for me.
I still have it whenever I start gambling I cant stop so I just dont open the website just so I wont do it.
Happiness? It is in you. You have to start step by step. Create a new hobby, a way to forget about gambling. It could be sports or games in the internet or your phone.
Spend time with the family. Also a good way and you could create a bond with your own relatives.

First things first, tell your friend that suicide is not an option. If he or she incurred that debt with a loan shark, killing yourself will not solve it. By doing so, you are giving your family the responsibility for all the mess you will be leaving. It is never an option.

Now, you said he is jobless, and with over 10k debt. The next thing he should do is quit gambling, period. If he is too ashamed to approach his/her family for help, be a good friend and approach them for him or her. Small things like these can sometimes change a person's life for the better.

I have once lost all I have in my online wallets for investment in gambling after playing head and tail game for whole night to just kill time.  I tried to find out pattern in results to multiple my money but eventually I lost all after betting bigger amounts thinking that I have finally found patterns LOL.

I was in serious depression those days and I was living alone it felt like hell, But I had my father on my back so I didn't have to worry about how to sustain my life even after that huge loss on gambling. But to get rid of those regrets I have about those big loss, I spended most of my time in work and even in leisure time I learned how to earn online from zero to start again.

I have finally stopped gambling and doing trading to earn online starting from almost zero after that loss.

I was hooked in gambling once but I found someone who changed me and I am really thankful for that,
I also lost a huge amount from gambling but for real I really think that you couldn't earn every thing that you lost in gambling,
So just take it easy not everyone is skilled to win a huge amount from it or lucky enough to win most of the games,

There are so many gamblers who are in debt and this is the worst thing to even do never ever gamble using someone else money. Gambling is a game of luck and there is no guarantee if you will even make profit if no profit means you made loss and you won't have enough money to repay him

I have a friend that was in debt because of gambling and I can tell you that gambling addiction can be as addicting as being addicted to any drug, the only way to try to recover for people like that is to have hope, to have something to live for, because the hole he dig himself up is one that is going to be very difficult to escape.

First thing, stop gambling, second, find a good job or start earning money.  Do not live in luxurious life, be thrifty and save.  If ever the debt is on friends and relatives, asked for extension and pay little by little.  If it is on bank then give a promisorry note and ask for amnesty so that the money won't continue to have interest.  It is hard but doable if the person is so determined.  Only a coward will kill himself and do not face consequences.

If you can't handle your on problem regarding of your addiction in gambling maybe not to try to ask debt on your family or friends because it is like your starting to wreck your life and you will be on the ground for real makingg ykur self poor is not a good one once for all think about it how if you start saving instead of play gambling i once before in deb which is i don't know how can i pay it because i am a jobless man till i realize one thing stop playing and start dreaming

The first thing is the person need to stop gambling immediately and swear that never going to gamble again, then that person need to pay for the debt you can asked a loan from your friends or family and you need to get a job to pay them, my friends ever being in debt because of gambling and he borrowed money from a lot of people and doing part time job to pay all the debt, at this time the person need a lot of support, people will trust you if you really want to change and fix the situation

I personally know someone too that lost everything he has because of gambling addiction he sold all his jewelries and his lot because he was on debt and he also need money to gamble. He also lost his business because he don't have money to finance it and last he lost his family because his family can't stand his addiction and they've been trying to help him but he refuse and gets mad instead.

Gamblers with Debt is not new. Many of Gamblers (Addict Gamblers) had debts. I personally experienced that long time ago when I'm addicted to a dice game. I borrow some BTC for my friend in exchange for my salary for a month. I lose multiple times and wasted my 2 months salary just on playing Dice. I remember PD was the Dice site where I lose money.  :D
As I've said, Gamblers with Debts is normal.   8)

Thats sad and i would say you do really have the addiction towards dice games on those times.Risking your 2 months salary is a dumb thing to do and working just to pay on your debts is very tiring but well those things is charge to experience and we are sure those things wont really happen again once we realized our mistakes. Having debts would really be common on this gambling field specially on addicted ones who do play no matter what the cost.

I have seen some people with gambling addiction problems, that helped me to keep alert about this risk and to control myself to don't let gambling control my actions and my money. It's always important to be under control to don't be in debt. I'm in Crypto-Currency world to build fortune and don't to lose all my money and borrow it from others to continue gambling like a crazy addicted man.

I may not have acquired a huge debt but I almost had it at once. Though, I have a cousin who is really an addict, problem gambler. He owed a lot of money to a group of people where he asked for a loan just to continue playing and to the point that the people he engages with forcefully take his appliances in return for unpaid debt. As of today he didn't recover from it and tried to commit suicide. The only best solution I could see is to enroll him somehow on a rehabilitation program that specializes in Gambling addiction. The only challenge here is how you will encourage a person to be part of such program. It will take time before recovery takes effect. There is no easy way out especially in this type of addiction.

Yeah maybe gamblers with debts is normal because we always see and we known some of them that are really addicted in gambling. In short it's not new in our community. As for me, I'm not addicted in gambling, I always control myself whenever I play. Maybe I'm just treating gambling for fun and not for profit. If I win or lose then its okay and call it a day.

Never get into debt before you do it (borrow or credit), think about what it will turn out for you and how you will live after that. This is pure slavery, dependence on the creditor.

I dont think gamblers with debts are normal. I for some reason is addicted to gambling but not in the point i am in debt. I experienced going home feeling down because of losses but never it occured in my mind to gamble until in debt. You are just paying some madeup money that were never urs in the 1st place. Better lost your money than lose money you dont have.

Gamblers should never have debts because of gambling. If a gambler has debts because of gambling that means there is a really big problem here since he is already addicted and he is gambling money he cannot afford to lose. The result of gambling money you cannot afford to lose is that you will definitely be in debts of because in the event you lose that money then that means you definitely need to pay that back somehow.

Almost all gambling addicted are crushing down because of their debts. They spend all their money in gambling and they spend all too what they borrow. Their greediness and pride made them broke. After they are totally broke they already want to commit suicide. How insane! I feel bad for them but I don't blame them because they are only product of their addiction. Lol. If only they manage their time, spend it rightfully then they will not become like that. However, people change when they already realized their mistakes.

i don't know how they will survive actually and correct me if i'm wrong but for those who already addiction in gamble they will never thinking how to pay debt even more likely they will try to discover the way how to get more debt and there is no people could help them immediately unless their self want to stop with strong desire but to cure addiction it took a lot of process and will never happened instantly

I dont know why i feel that these online casinos are surely rigged. Think yourself why you loosing money after sometime ? I bet that whenever you tries to stake up you will be busted surely dont you think that this is not a rigged poker ?.
I remember that in 2013 when the game called head tail was popular with liberty reserve money, Someone came to me by saying that he have script to setup such site where he told me that there is a option to set difficulty level for players which means you can set difficulty level to high to make players loss. I am 100% confident that those tactics still exists with these dice casinos or gambling sites.

I personally known some persons too on which some of them are my friends that experienced big debts but not to the point they will commit suicide but much worst thing because act of stealing is already developing in their minds.

The solution is not that easy because the one who can help for those who are already in the brink of being crazy is themselves also. How some of my known friends able to get up? They forget gambling and about their debts, they just leave it at the moment while gathering money since even those lenders will be gone rampage to them still they can't get the money. After years of struggling, the debt and loans paid off . Takes time but with a proper guidance, those gamblers who fall on such a trap will suddenly wake up to what who they are and will began fixing things.

I was in debt only in the beginning of my gambling career many years ago. I have not thought even once to commit suicide but I felt despair and started to feel like a fish without water , that was how my life was back then. The only way I suggest to recover from such disgrace is to immediately stop gambling, start working and recover your debt every month little by little. It is very hard this way but not impossible.

There is a golden rule if you want to be successful at gambling and is the first rule every gambler should know and apply, DO NOT USE MONEY YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE.

My brother was addicted to gambling past 2 years ago, of course he was in debt, but fortunately he have extra luck instead have extra greedy, every time he win the game, the portion for pay the debit is not much as 40% even though he's debt is still have more left to pay, if there are people who ask for he's debt immediately, he will borrow money to he's other friends, it's doing repeatedly.
Until I know and try to help him to reduce he's gambling activity, closed he's account and find a job for him to pay the debit.

Gambling debt is no different than other types of debt, you will need to learn how to manage it, that is what people do, you see people with gigantic debts, they owe their cars and houses and yet they are able to function in society since they know they can eventually pay it.

My story is also almost same had a big loss in fiat gambling and then came across with Bitcoin and knowed about this forum and after 2 yrs with this forum help now i have recovered 50% of loss due to working hard in finishing lot of tasks and taking part in signature campaign and other bounty campaigns. Some i recovered in sports betting by betting only on the matches which i am sure of winning. but most of the time i dont bet not more.

What you did is correct for recovering your losses because you can't recover your losses from gambling again. But many addicted gamblers don't believe this, and they will keep trying to recover their money from gambling and ending up losing a lot of money. I suggest don't ever bet even in sports for recovering losses, but you can do it with a small amount if you want to enjoy your time. All the best to you to recover your losses soon. 

the last part of your statement should be the best thing to do mate since you are already earning from your hard work there's no need to move back
from your gambling activity risk will be there and  you are prone with doing the same mistakes again and again so better to focus your mind with your
hard work and divert those earnings to another ways of investment.

Same as well for me. I incurred a big debt on a bank and up until now I'm almost done with it with the help of my bitcoin trading and earning from signature campaign. Its really a painful lessons for me to. I had to go through this process for more than 2 years just to pay everything that I have squandered during the height of my addiction. I'm not going to back, because its really frustrated and I'm so disappointed on myself. I do still bet but for fun and I have control now.

Honestly the problem with gambling is, people forget the basic rule, only gamble what you can afford to loose, if you loose to much quit and come back later and not try and recover asap that's a bad way of gambling. I remember when I started gambling, first it was really petty, before I realized I started playing huge bets, and I was down bad, I was worried my family would find out, then I took one final bet, if I would win it would settle my losses, if I lost it was game over double the debt, Lucy won and now I don't play rash. The only advice I have is play safe and decent gambling and know when to stop, or don't gamble at all.

Important is to not do something way too much, if you gamble too much you will have problem. If you eat or drink too much you will also have a problem. And I agree with your end, you need know when to stop in everything, if you don't know when to stop you will always have problems in gambling and in other things too.
Gamblers who are in debts should stop gambling, there is no other way for them to get out from that. If they try to recover their losses they will just make bigger problem for them self's. Play safe with money you can lose and you will never be in debt from gambling, advice for all new people here.

Those who gamble by borrowing money are losers. They should know that there is no shortcut of becoming rich; you need to work hard in order to live a respectful life. These people are not worth living, they are just burdens on other, trash of the society.

Don’t they know how many people have already left world just because of borrowing money for gambling?

Best solution to regain happiness? It's an easy thing, I'm sure that all of us aren't relying all of our happiness in gambling. There is/are something else that you can find your happiness. But first, pay the debts or all the credits you've got. This makes you rooted and can't move on and after paying it, try to search yourself on where you are really happy.

I was once in a very serious debt and there wasn't anything that i could do to turn it around, i started to gamble in the hopes that i will be able to get some to pay off my debts and that was the wisest decision i would say i had ever taken in my life, i knew what was my strength and i sticked to it and in no time, i have made enough money to pay off my debts. But its doesn't work like that all the time.

What you said is correct. Gambling is not a life or happiness but it is one of the ways to get fun. But if one thing that they can't afford to get these fun then there are many other ways people can spend their free time and get entertainment. Always remember that you shouldn't either invest or gamble with the borrowed money because it can put you in a bigger problem. If you can't afford then don't invest or gamble.

First of all stop gambling, after that have been done search for another options to generate income, but if they can't stop gambling there's nothing to do.

Honestly there is no way for help those who have this problem, that's why we always tell to other people better not to loan money for gambling because you will be in problem. maybe the only way for you to keep alive, easy never think if you had lose much money in gambling

Well the last thing you wanna do if you're having all sorts of problem is to gamble. People have commited suicides and crimes that had severe results when they resort to gambling for a solution.

Now that's what I call using your head. Honestly guys, gambling are just useless act. I have never ever praised anyone more than the person who admits his mistakes and correct them. Gambling is the father of all mistakes and quitting it is the best thing that a gambler can do to himself and his family.

This post show to us very clearly the consequences from gambling addiction and like you see the effects are not really that different than the consequences of drug addiction, there is nothing wrong with gambling once in a while but do it for fun and always be mindful of the amount of money you gamble.

Are you sure about your statement? What about finding a job to repay all debts and not gambling all salary away trying to win money back, as chasing loses is always the root of gambling problem?
Asking for professional help will be reasonable thing to do in such cases.

Most of the experienced gamblers are not here to make a big profit,they just want to enjoy the time and have some fun and keep the losses at a minimum and if you are having a good day then you might wage your luck by wagging more and some times you will win more and some times you loose and it is all part and parcel of gambling,but gambling everything off is just a foolish move and must be avoided at any cost.

I agree that those people enjoyed playing gambling but they also suffered and struggled their debts, the salary isn't enough for the family to provide. That's why more loans and amortizations was overdue because the gambling was the more priority rather than basic needs.

This is the worst kind of gamblers. They gamble they lose! Still their gambler spirits are high, they bet all of their wealth and lose. Then they go for others money, borrow from friends by making stories, they bet and again they lose. Now left worth no option and hope of recovery, they decide to die. A poor life indeed!

It's a terrible life but what can they do if they got no help or were never introduced properly into gambling. I pity such folks but I think there should be a gambling license enforced in every country and even online for people to get before they can start gambling so that they are grimes and psyched up to accept whatever the outcome maybe so that it will not eventually lead them into addiction.

It's the biggest mistake a gambler can do but unfortunately some people find themselves there and they become a burden for their families that's why I recommend to potential gamblers to rather seek psychological advice before starting but I think most are often controlled by their emotions and they end up making fundamental gambling mistakes.

Remember one thing always that debt never helps cut off debts but it gets you more deeply involved into it. Debts when gone bad just the way you said, i.e.; loss in gambling could lead to some serious circumstances which may occur in your life and destroy it too. So never take more debts to recover your losses and repay previous debts - that's the first thing.
To deal with them, you need to start working hard with huge confidence in yourself that one day you will be able to get out of them and live freely. I was once into such situation but I managed to deal with it and repaid back everything, I know it took a bit longer but that's life and suicide is not an option, it's committed by those who are cowards and don't possess the courage to do what it takes to live their life the way they want.

Apparently, I'm having happiness with gambling and also with other things. You just have to know better about yourself. Others may say that gambling is an expensive way to have fun and the reminder that you had said is very true. Just don't add another problem or don't resolve a problem out of another problem.

If you're having happiness with gambling by loosing your money why don't you then try placing demo bets where you wouldn't need to bet with your real money and so nothing is lost if you loose.

There are many things still waiting for you in your life. We all are at times hit by misfortunes; they are just our tests, god’s ways of teaching us some important lessons and make us strong to fight with all problems. Debt can be easily paid back if you have family support and you are not involved in suicidal thoughts.

Well dude, Calm down! Sometimes sympathies make things even worse. Star shines at night. Life can be tough but just think how many of people are tested by such situations. Life has chosen them to carve out some famous figures out of them.

Before dawn, there is always darkness. Moreover, death won't solve the problem. If it will, they can go for it. I would request them all to learn the history of today’s great people.

I find that happiness as an odd type of happiness. If there are people who are happy to lose their money they are rich enough and will not get into this problem to have in debt to others. Anyway no one said here that they are happy in losing money when they gamble.

i think even for rich person which have debt will not happy if they are losing their money and i am sure that there is no one will want to loss their money too. but if we are in debt and we using the money for gambling then we get loss then its our mistake and before we realize this, our money is gone. so its better if we can thinking that if we are borrow money from other people, we must not use that money for playing gambling.

Best solution in this case is stop gambling and find a real job.I know it will cost much time to pay all these debts but trust me, that's the best solution. If you keep gambling , maybe you could pay all the debts ( small percents) or your debt will becomes can't be paid. So working is less risky way, it costs time and it teaches you a lesson about control your gambling.

There's no best solution for them to regain happiness, the solution is in their hands. Try to get rid first with their debts and after paying those debts, light will shine on them. And they will feel that it's happy to pay all of those debts. They can't move on if there is something that is pulling them back and that is those debts.

Yup as long as they are not done yet on their debts,it will be a burden for them for long to enjoy playing. When we are in debt we always want to win that turns out to be a frustration to us that happens to be our lose,so better find job to pay debts and back in game for enjoyment.

Agree with you but i think would be better if you give anyone suggestion for not use money from loan to gambling or trading or anything else. especially when they are on debts, thay will feel like have a burden on their mind and if they are push them self to gambling, it will make them lose more money then can't paid the debt.

Using those loan money to gambling isnt really wise and would really pressure you to make money out of it.This is why we should not think off on this would be the last resort to solve our problems because it would really make the things goes worst even more.I do really believe that there are lots of people who have have still debts on playing gambling and this should really be stopped by them if they dont really like to experience unexpected even more worst things happen as the time goes by.

Yeah, problem gamblers who are in debt, they have no properly solution, their debt never give them happiness, and in this way, their family also disturb. The best solution is here or not, but we should avoid to borrow for gambling. All debt disturb your life and these type of gamblers have no respect in others people's eyes.

Of course they will not happy about it, they have debt and they lose their money in gambling so what they are expecting to happen? No one doesn't want to lose what he got for gambling. Your last sentence is very true and I can relate with it that whenever we tried to borrow money from other people, let's be responsible for it and don't use it for gambling.

The problem is that they always play and play and continue to borrow money to different people just to play gambling because of the greedy attitude and the confidence of winning eventhough it doesn't. Many people are always borrowing money just to gamble but they not able to pay it back because of always losing.

The main problems of gamblers that are in debt is that they didn't able to pay it back all the money they borrowed they just still borrow money from different people and continue to play gambling even if they are always losing. They end up bankrupt and not paying the money they borrowed from different people.

Yeah I think it's more on controlling yourself on how much you can afford to lose when yiu do gambling if you can't control your feelings and emotions then you'll probably have a lot of problems when it comes to money in the future which will ruin your life and family too.

It is not about lost as you mentioned. You are learning if you are losing. After loss there is a victory. As you mentioned about emotions it is upto people that what type of people are how they are dealing with loss and win.

Yeah, it is a shame, but that is the issue with addiction you only need to make one mistake and suddenly your life changes forever, even if it has took you so long to overcome this ordeal at least you have learned your lesson and it is something that is going to help you for the rest of your life.

Wow. Seriously, these stories saddens me. Why would you guys risk so much just to gamble? Did you guys really think you will double the money in the end? I guess the thought process was really twisted at the time you decided to gamble the money. Good that you are regretting it and I hope people see this as a lesson too.

One thing, let go and they will move on.  Though I agree that to regain happiness, the solution is in their hands.  There are several option, forget all about debts and gambling then move on with life, though this will give distrust to you.  The best is as stated by passwordnow,  look for a job slowly pay all your debt  and avoid gambling.  Time will come that all of these debts will be paid and you will regain your happiness in life.

I was in a deep gambling addiction a while back, I was extremely close to losing just about everything, including my girlfriend. I got help from her and her family to settle debts that I had and I started working double shifts to pay off whatever I owed to them. I think that the one thing that made me realize I was in an addiction other than the loss of money and property was when I was faced with losing the love of my life, that was the only thing that made me change and taught me to make better decisions in my life. It was a struggle and it sometimes still is as I still can feel the urge whenever I walk by a casino or come across a new online casino. I take it day by day and I tell my girlfriend whenever I fear I might relapse. So far so good and I've not had a gambling debt for over 3 years.

Because those that gamble for fun like the risk of losing money, look at all those persons that like to practice extreme sports or that practice martial arts, those activities are risky and they do it because they like the feeling they get when they do that, I think gambling is similar.

I guees you're right. Extreme sports, its like placing your life on the line. It has more weight than placing your money on fhe line. Though it wouldn't hurt to try other things especially if you're already in debt. It's not only you that will be.affected but the person you borrowed from as well

for sure you can find other source of enjoyment since you already having problem your mental capability handling this situation, when you already in debt its not healthy anymore continuing your game, better to listen with most of the replied here and see it yourself if how this will work for you.

The real problems of gamblers are that they tend to go over the debt as that is the reason why the fall into a deep depressiona and gamble more as they thought that they can pay it off with the winnings that they might have. It really is or should be changed as gamblers turn into toxic gamblers when they use loans as a means to earn

Addiction is the worst thing for any gambler to be indulged in but it happens that some unsuspecting gamblers find themselves in these situations and they become worse off by the day in their bid to make past recoveries of the losses. They often like you said go over the debt and think all is going to be well but they rather accrue more debts with their behavior.

I remember when I was addicted before, I really took a loan to bet on sports but then I realize when I lose the money, it's not good to gamble when you borrowed the money you play because it will just double the risk and when you are not fully focus you have a bigger chance of losing. The lesson I learned is not to gamble what you can afford to lose and never chase your loses because it will just make you frustrated and might loss control in gambling.

I don't have a debt in gambling but I know a friend who do, he recently have a debt of over $50,000 dollar and that kind of amount he never really expected to happen, because he never notice it because I think he is addicted to it, but he's not telling us that he did, now we are helping him realize his situation and monitoring his every move where he is going, and holding a number of his salary to someone that is trustworthy.

Yes I experience it before it before I dont know where to ,where to run.My husband before is a gambler then I have so many credits like loans credits and 56.I used to cry everyday looking for some place to hide to the collector of my debts.Until my family become messy ,umtil we separated.Many bad things happen when your addict in gambling ,it might broken families?and debts come in

Oh thats really a serious thing that do happen to your life and im sure you did learn something on that one on which gambling addiction can really give you a miserable life and now you are separated on your husband im sure you do have a hard time on raising your kids.If you do let gambling addiction control you, then you would really mess up your entire life that you didnt ever imagined.

Yes and I know a lot of people who have the same situation whereas they actually borrow or loan a money just to play or gamble again and in the end they will still lose then they will borrow again from another person and they will repeat the same situation. I don't know how they will survive such curse like thing since even if they win big they can't still be able to pay back all their debts. I'm different from them because I saw how they life goes by so and it's really difficult to live like the way they are.

If we are depressed by debt, maybe we can do a smart little cunning way. Let's borrow money from friends, siblings or anyone else to pay off your old debts. Maybe you still have a debt but at least you have more time to pay.

just don't chase your debt by gambling again , it could be your biggest mistake ever you did. the more time you gamble the more addicted you are , forget about everything bad in the past and heading for the futue.

think about when you try to recover , it will make your life even worse with another gambling problem

Do not worry I have a lot of other hobbies that do not require that I spend any money at all, like sports, board games and others, but I still like to gamble occasionally since I like the thrill of not knowing what it is going to happen in the next roll of a dice.

It is a sad and harsh reality indeed. They could have been saved if they were at the verge of destruction but they are already destroyed so nothing much can be done for such people. Goodness can only save them. However, it can be a lesson for other gamblers, specially the new ones.

The best they can do is just to live their lives as is and just try to pay back whatever they owe. The worst thing they could do is kill themselves because that would mean it would be the end of everything. It's good to be alive, regardless of your situation. So I urge people who lost a lot in gambling to don't kill themselves and just live their lives for the better.

before even i'm into crisis all i want to do is gambling i lend money and till now i still pay them its because of my debt and my partner did not know that .i sell my gold necklace just for gambling. now i learned my lesson if i wont give up on gambling i'll die poor and lots of debt.

Lose anything you want but don't in any condition take loan to gamble. But still it's hard to obey that rule when you are deeply interested.

One thing that you should always keep in mind that gambling could make you broke ,
Just take a look to other people stories ,
It's full of bad things , horrible for sure . Just take it as a lesson before you go for it ,
Otherwise you will really ended up so bad.

Losing all your money in gambling is a foolishness you should realize this fact that gambling is not for making money before you lose all your money. If people don't realize this fact means they are addicted to these games so they never stop gambling even though they lose all their money. Those people need some expert advice to come out of these addictions.

Honestly, I faced a similar situation, but I was not in a big debt. I had to rely on bitcoin so I could pay my debt. And yes, it is really suffering to see these people, especially the close ones, committing suicide because they could not recover their debts. But you know, if you read this post, I want you to remember it. I want you to stick with these people no matter what happens, even if you hold a grudge against them. Be there for them, try to understand them, help them financially if you have money, give them positive energy, always listen to them, tell them to never give up because once you give up, life will have no meaning. Tell them that they will survive and that they were not the first people to face this problem. Everyone has problems. Remind them of starving people or people at wars and how they struggle and strive to live. Tell them to live because they are given only one life and if they commit suicide, they will lose this chance. Life is beautiful if you know how to deal with things. What happened happened, there is no turning back. Now, it is time to stand for yourself and aim high. It was not fate that made them in that situation. So, instead of giving up, try to endure with the pain and be patient. It is time to find a solution rather than losing hope. They need someone to be there for them... Do not let go of them, bro!

I know someone from our community before. That was a long time, the husband was addicted not only in alcohol but also in gambling. Everyday he and his wife fought and he's been into too much debt because of gambling. One day the man committed scuicide, after he committed suicide the family found out that aside from the big debt he left their house has also been not sure if sold or pawned. It was a devastating situation that the whole family got entangled with. So in my opinion, to avoid this kind of incident, one must have self discipline  and should know his limits and goals as well as priorities or better not try gambling at all..

and this is real happening,
friends can only help morally.
this may be of little help to us
and for the next we must be able to try to get out of debt.
and I'm a little suggesting here to keep our own effort without asking anyone to help pay off the debt.
because if we can get out of debt by own business of course we will be happier when that time happens

Some of my friends are in great debt because of gambling and I have seen how far it'll go if they won't be able to return their loans. One of them tried to end his life but fortunately his family saved him and he's fine now. But still think of gambling and it's really hard for him to leave.

One of our family member is in debt right now because of gambling and as much as I want to help out of it I want him to learn from his mistakes and hoping the one day he will not let his gambling addiction in control of his life. He lost every property he have now and I really feel bad about it.

Sometimes people really need to learn from their own mistakes to change their mind. When there are many people trying to help an addicted person the situation is more confortable and the addicted one becomes more rebel and out of control. But if he can really see how sad is his situation by himself maybe he is able to start acting different and listen to the people that tried to help him before.

I think it's not bad to help him in times of this. Just help him ONCE to recoup his loss and strengthen your ties as a family. After regaining, warned him more to the effects of gambling, explain what will be missing if he still continue to gamble. If after helping and he still continue with it, left him for good and let for himself to discover what is the right thing to do. I hope you can help him atleast ONCE cause it will be difficult also for you if he sorted out in a more bad act (steal from someone just to pay his debt, or end his life).

Borrowing money for the sake of gambling is a deadliest mistake and to be very honest, if the gambler loses that money also, his good days are gone. Financial stability is very essential for a happy and prosperous family life. Indeed, such mistake can give birth to unbearable disturbance.

Such guys are a disgrace to the world because not just they gave blood tears to their family when they were alive but also made their family suffer by putting debt over their head. I believe rather than suicide the better option is to just be a man and take it on chin.

Work hard, earn money and at least help your family with some funds. Ending your life is not the solution rather just a immediate solution which we can think of once we are in such situations.

A gambler needs attention from friends or any family member, that's why it kept on a recurring situation that they went on debt most of the time. They've seek attention most of the time from their reliable sources, and borrowed more money just to satisfy their gambling motives. Getting out of a debt will not happen if a gambler doesn't change his attitude and never cut the gambling activities he had in his life.

What you said is the correct solution to get rid of gambling habit and further more loss. Just forget what you lost and start life new and try to work harder and be happy with what you got.

Debt is really a big trap. A smart gambler have to be careful and control him self to not get addicted and drown i debts. Paying back people is not easy especially when they owe you big amount of money.

Gambling is very addictive and fatal. It is very funny to see people digging their graves by their own hands by gambling with all the wealth. Above that, they speed up the process by burrowing money from others. It is like adding fuel into fire. I hope people understand that how much harmful gambling can be for them and their close ones.

It was a very bad choice to decide to commit suicide, maybe it was because of solitude, I mean it might be because he did not tell his friend or family that he had so much debt and kept it alone. Or has run out of ways to pay off the debt he has. My advice maybe you can help him, you and your friends leave the money and give it to him, maybe help pay off his debt.

I experience it before I have so many percentage debts.Because of my husband vises,addicted to gambling.He buy what he wants no limitations even he can afford.He will barrow money just to get what he wants.I think thats the beggining when we started not to understand its other until our relationship is not healthy anymore.It ended to separation.When it comes to financial problem of course mother most be worried of it.So I catched all those problem.Until now as a single mom I still own alone my problem.

that's why its not advisable to borrowed money when you are going to play gambling, its really a risky move coming from a gambler, he can't focus
he's mind thinking if how can he pay it if he lose it there, i still believe that we should treat gambling as a sort of entertainment so we can only use
our owned money something that we can afford to lose.

I know one guy (my friend's friend) who had a lot of debt because of gambling. He's very lucky because his family still care about him, they sold their property to paid the debt. Now he's stopped gambling and help his mother selling vegetable.

I feel sorry for him but if possible please get him a job even if you have to pay him from his own pocket, I have seen that when people get busy they actually forget about their addictions. It's not likely to talk here but one of my friends had a terribly habit of smoking and gambling and I was literally helpless as he was a true friend and I could not help him unless we find him a job.

That's too bad mate. you already did what you have to as his friend. It's up to him on how his going to handle his own problem. Because all of us can do is to give advice and help them stay away from addiction but at the end it's still up to them if they are willing to give up their addiction problem. 

You also need to consider that most gamblers' perspective towards gambling is that they can be successful without paying the cost at the end. Now, the result of their decision based from their gambling addiction is being drowned in debt and they still gamble because they believe that gambling can answer all of their financial problems. Being addicted to something destroys all negative implications of the user because what matters to them is the satisfaction that they experience. Why would they change their ways if they feel satisfied? That is one of the problems of most gamblers who cannot control their addiction which needs to be addressed at the quickest time possible.

That's the problem here, a person won't be able to learn how good profit is but they neglect the opportunity of money to be used for another passive income aside from a gambling investments. Not all family can accommodate you with all your needs, specially when the money isn't enough to paid all the debts you had; how lucky is your friend having that kind of family even though they've lost their property due to gambling debts.

Gambling is a fun activity so if anyone can't afford to play these games then there are many other options to get a fun without spending money. But people who addicted to these games and wants a fast money will do these mistakes of gambling with borrowed money and put them in a deep shit. One shouldn't do this big mistake and put all other family members also in trouble.

You know that is really wrong to get a loan for the sake gambling.
But still you do it however right? It is an addiction which drive you to always doing the same mistakes .
You cannot really handle it unless if you do have a babkroll management and selfcontrol in every single day you do gamble.

The problem with gambling addiction is that you end your life and whatever but as you get any funds you will do the first thing called as "gambling" again because of the simple fact that you just want to win back everything.

I have myself been a gambling addict but what happened good to me was I used to win a lot. Then came a time that our country banned gambling and that actually saved me from potential loss.

in my opinion, when gamblers lose in gambling and they still want to keep playing, they will do various ways to keep playing. one of them is by way of debt. they dare to debt, because they believe will win and can return their debt. but in my opinion, if lost at the moment, it is better to just retreat, dont continues the gambling with the way of debt.

This is no solution to any debts we are just building more debts for yourself if you want to clear a debt you need to sell of your assets or find a better job taking another loan to pay a previous debt will keep on increasing and finally you will have no option but to quit your life or go to the jail

i think it is still could give you addiction problem no matter you are living in a country where gambling are banned , you can easily access it through online gambling , don't you do it now? i don't believe if you never gamble online as you said you have won a lot in gambling.

you will always try to make money through the same instant way. and to get loan are your shortcut way when you run out of money.

If anybody is in debt because of gambling the it's your fault and no one else, not the community and surely not the site you play but its basically because of lack of self control. When I hear people run into debt because of gambling, I just imagine how that is possible if there is self restraint.

I don't think I can get involved to the point of betting all that I have, and then still go out to borrow from people to still play. When someone do something like that, they should be sentenced to remand homes for the rest of their lives because they have not only fail themselves but also failed humanity and so they lose the morality to live among rational thinking individuals.

This is true,we can freely access gambling sites with the use of VPN which no one would able to trace us that we are playing gambling online even if our government would really restrict us on playing it.
Having debts is just a common problem on most gambler which some of them end up on suicide because they cant repay those debts.

Maybe he's talking about borrowing from friends without interest and that way you can easily offset your old debts but create a new one which you'd have a longer time to pay. That's my understanding of what he said.

Paying a loan with another loans (even though with no interest at all ) won't help us by the way. We should make money through hard work to know how hard to get money is. Therefore, it will give us a valuable lesson. In the hope, next time we won't go to the same hole again.

To all people who have been experiencing this kind of situation I am sincerely want you to know that you can still get up and go back on track on life. As For me, I didn't get a loan for gambling, everything that I've wasted on gambling is hard earned money that's why the emotional suffering is very long and tiring but it is only a simple decision that changed my life and that is to STOP and from that decision everything changed.

For the people who are in debt. Decide to stop playing, find a regular job and slowly pay your debts, yes it is really hard but i assure you from that decision you will start to change your life slowly, it will be worth it.

Yeah that is correct, and people that try to gamble so they can pay debts, or they think that it could be their ticket out of poverty. But the problem is that is just an illusion gambling has been showing us. It is a mirage. We cannot rely on what gambling shows because it is all too good to be true. The chances anyone can win and be rich just like that is so slim.

we know that many people in debt because of gambling and their property is sold because of gambling this person is addicted. and this person is needed of rehabilitation by advice and counselling. and when this person is close to you give an advice, and take him to the groups where he will enjoyable with pleasure and bring happiness to forget it, and she realizes her mistake.

first piece of advice, never give them a free pass out of their situation. this serves no purpose  but to enable them to continue. of course, they might not take it as such and go on to turn over a new leaf, but with most addicts, this is almost never the case. helping them out of their situation is handing them a free pass; you drag them out of the hole theyve dug themselves into, and they don't learn, their mind is focused on feeding their addiction and nothing else. if anything, theyll use to chance to just repeat their mistake on a larger scale, until no one else can help them. by all means, no harm in giving them a push in the right direction, but don't give them a free pass, especially for family and friends. big rule to follow with money: never loan to friends or family, chances are you wont get it back.

I am not one of those who had been in big debt due to gambling but i know someone very dear to me who had these kind of experience. It wasn't that easy. There were restless days and nights and even nightmares especially when you have debt on some sort of sindicate. But it will be helpful when your family, relatives or even friends would keep themselves at your back even after these time when you seriously messed up your life. They will be your strenght in finding a way to fulfill the obligations that you have because of your addiction, but expect that avoiding gambling as a way wouldn't be as easy as you think. It was already part of your system and it was you who are in debt can stop yourself from gambling again aside from the advices, encouragement, help and support that you will get from your loved ones..

When a person fails to win the desired amount o money and keeps on losing again and again, then he undergoes a massive amount of depression and guilt as well. It becomes so difficult for him to digest the reality and therefore he opts for taking debts to continue playing gambling as he hopes to win back all his losses as well as the additional profits in favor to continue with his habit.

The cycle continues if he did won such borrowed money from other and could able to repay those but what if we do mention on the opposite side which is what if he lose those money?For sure he would increase or add up more on his depression which would lead up again on borrowing money for hoping that he would be lucky this time.No, its really a bad idea on having or thinking on this kind of solution instead you are making or arranging things up you would surely mess it instead.

Gaining happiness from big loss isn't an instant thing, it's a process that someone needs to go through. The feeling of being a depressed gambler is hard to deal with.

If you are aware on this feeling or you are experiencing this right now, you must go seek your parents as they are the one that will understand you and will never blame you with your wrong doings.

They are the best people that can give you happiness, trust me.

I am really happy that you have come a very long way and been able to realize the fact i.e. gambling is causing you more harm than good. In your case, you haven’t taken debt from the bank or a close friend after repeated failures but still, it would take some time to forget the losses and move on in life with some positive vibes about your future. Al I have to say in the end is that one must not be as crazy to take loans and try his luck over and over again when there is no guarantee to win.

We are always one decision away from change. If a person is living even after devastation, that means he is capable of moving on. To be very honest, I have never ever experienced great or small money loss but I have lost a lot of important people in my life. So, I know what sufferings are in real. We all have money problems but humans have the choice to be what they want to be.

It's kinda weird to link the lost of money to lost of love ones. I would say they are quite different. No matter what you do, you cannot bring back a dead loved one. But if money is lost, there is always a chance you can get it back and likely a lot more can be had. I dont think it is a good analogy to compare money with love ones. That's just sad.

I think that's taking it way too far, science hasn't even figured out why some people get addicted while others do not.

You should have some sympathy for people who are suffering to addiction, I know they do a lot of damage to their environment and/or family, but I don't think it's 100% due to 'lack of self control'.

People should who are that addicted to gambling should have the chance to get treatment for their addiction and have a chance to recover and pay everything back or file for bankruptcy.

Once indulged deeply into something, it becomes hard to shake off old habits. This is the problem with addicts. They can't live without their daily doze. Gambling is very addictive. Moreover, it makes a person greedy also when he wins two or three times.

Due to these two reasons, gamblers do not quit the game and keep on going in loss. They should get control over their greed.

This is possible gamblers are in debt just to continued to play even suffered of losing. This means a persons wanted to play even with debt are becoming addicted into gambling. In this case, this must be resolve and control the emotions in playing gambling.

It is a harsh reality. People make unexpected obvious mistakes. Gamblers know that they can end up losing all their capital or assets but still they don't stop playing this game. It is only because their greed is dominating their senses. After losing all their wealth, desperation is the next emotion that overtakes they and they start borrowing from others.

No doubt that the best thing they can do is to seek professional help, both for mental health and financially.

That's true. If we have a healthy mind, we can have a better life. Getting worse is also depend on a person if they are not determine to stop in gambling. They get buried in debt because of their addiction in gambling. If we have a good mind, we will not going to think of having a loan just to play gambling.

What satoshi and his holdings has to do with this thread and quoted post?

I don't think it is possible to control greed, either you are greedy and always wants more or you are not greedy and you are happy with just little you get. Gambling addiction is not caused by greed, it is caused buy chemicals in brain. Do research.

It is true that most of us go through such phases in our life when we have been into something really awful turning into a huge loss at the end. This is something quite common nowadays.
The only thing that could change the worst scenario of feeling regretful into something bearable is that your parents provide you emotional support to go through it in quite a better way than facing the hardship alone.

I hope every problematic gambler are willing to accept their situation and understand that they are not doing well in gambling. Sometimes we have this pride that we do not admit to ourselves that we are not losing and we always thinking that we are still under control of everything despite the result does not show what we believe. We need help if we have a problem and the longer we keep that ourselves the more it becomes a bigger problem.

A lot of people around here who actively gamble have experienced get so much debt caused gambling.
They did not give up by the way , just keep tryimg to recover it.
That was a bad decision indeed , they are getting addicted , lost so much but cannot stop to play.

I doubt if there is anybody who will admit that he is a problematic gambler who is in debt as a result of that. If we have such individual then the is need for therapy because its obvious he has not stopped to be here. I gamble as well but not to the point of using someone else's resources for that purpose and even my own money, there is a limit that I can go to gamble with it. When that is known before hand, problem and troubles will be avoided.

Indeed both are different but pain has no type. No matter whatever the reason is, at the end of the day anything that we lose ache our hearts. You lose money, you will suffer.

You lose close ones, you will suffer and suffering is same, just painful and also losing someone does not mean to lose his body or physical appearance. Moreover, there are gamblers who have committed suicide that means recovering from it is not very simple.

It's normal that gamblers deny that they're addicted on gambling,  as much as they can they will keep it secret or pretend that they can still manage it, even they are in debts they will keep on playing it.As I've said gamblers with Debt is not new. Many of Gamblers (Addict Gamblers) had debts and they need to realize that it will not cause good on them.

They wont realize such thing because they are already addicted to gambling which they would normally think up that they are not doing something wrong in them.Without having wary about on their current situation.Debts would really be normal specially to those gamblers who do have only an average earning compared into those rich gamblers they do really have the edge always since they do have the capability on wasting up their money.

Yeah you are right if a person is able to survive such a lot of mishaps in his life then he is probably the real hero of his own story. Same is the thing in gambling. After a huge many losses, the only thing that could help you to recover from it is that you quit gambling   for good and start to earn via doing some other job.

This type of consultancy relating your future would help you recover the losses and change the darker side of life into something beautiful and colored.

I have seen people confessing their difficulties on this forum. If you will open some previous pages, you will definitely found some stories.

There are people who have come to the verge of committing suicide because they have no money and above that they have to pay debts. Without any income source, the only way they see out of all problems is to kill the relation between their bodies and souls

I feel you mate. However, truth be told, people who are addicted to gambling today apparently brought it upon themselves and like he said, it is just lack of self control and no need trying to make them feel good about it cause it won't help.

I once told my cousin to get help recently cause he kept thinking he would win all he has lost from gambling back and he kept losing them all still. Most people who are gambling and addicted to it today did not start gambling for fun but they thought it will make them rich over night and that is just being lazy.

Make money outside gambling as there are so many ways and get out there to have fun if you wish. It is just like habit and it totally depends on the person to realize that they need help.

It is really important to stop gambling. It will be impossible to change  or "fix" your(his) life if that person will keep gambling. It's possible to pay every debt though, it just takes time. He should find a job so that he would have monthly income first.

Sadly, there are problem gamblers who haven't realized that and they keep on playing gambling hoping that winning in it will solve all of their financial problems. But of course, it is not like dreams because in reality, the possibility of losing many times is greater causing that problem gambler to lose more money and worsts, to have more debts.

Stopping on playing gambling is not as easy as we say it especially if it became a habit already.

That is indeed a sad truth, but it is not anyone's fault but the gambler himself. Sometimes our judgement is clouded by our problems and that further causes a lot more problems for us. When we are in debt especially, we become really desperate and we try all crazy things like gambling to try our luck and see if we would be able to get out of our financial problems only to realize that it will just further bury us in debt.

Here is some tips from me, hope it will fix you :

• do not gamble with the money you cannot afford to lose
• do not make gamble as your priority
• go get a real job, and do not use gambling as your job
• always know that there is always a possibility of cheater
• if you already in debt, you must find a job to pay it
• you must realize that gambling cannot pay your debt
• gambling only make your debt worse, unless you are lucky
• do not depend your life on luck
• etc

I never tried to gamble someone else money. Even if i am addicted to gambling and even i lose my budget for 1 month in gambling i never thought of borrowing money to someone just to gamble the reason is that i know the risk in gambling and if i lose that money that i owe to someone i will be increasing my problem and for me it is hard to fix too many problems.

What your doing is right because even after you know these games are very risky shouldn't borrow money to play these games. But people like you may be very less because most of the addicted gamblers don't think about the future but for that movement they need a money to play these games so they will tell all kinds of stories to raise funds from others and after losing that money then they will realize their mistake when need to face other kinds of issues.

Lol yeah. I don't understand why there are people who have thr audacity to gamble with other people's money. Imagine thr inconvenience of being pressured to win the amount you've lost because of it and the trust that you'll lose along with the money

I lost a lot but never came to a big debt into where I cant recover no more.
But I have some advice with those who have those problems in gambling.
They may need to create a new hobby just so they will forget to gamble for a minute, an hour or a day.
If that certain hobby could be found then it might go well.
That is all I did. Returned to playing online games until I realize I am not gambling to a larger extent anymore.

It is same like the person who takes drug, always unaware of his present situation and doing what captivates him. Gamblers have no idea about their ruined conditions and borrowing some money for getting satisfaction won't be any harmful action according to them. If they were that much smart ever, they would not have become an addict at the first place.

The gamblers who gamble should not accede from their limits rather they will be in debts and the recovery will be very difficult. So I suggest to all the gamblers to gamble within the range and not to lose anything you have. Stop gambling if you are losing continuously. The day is not in their favor and gamble on some other day if they want but having in debts create a lot of unrecoverable problems.

The main problems are that they lose everything they have in their wallets. Even they lose not only their profits from bitcoin but also their investments if they have any, because the gambling is very worst thing and those who are addicted of gambling never stop till they win or lose everything. Many people I have seen in my life became mentally disturbed due to gambling because they have lost everything.

You are one of them, which i like, i like your type of gambler. If everyone understand it, then only we play gambling for fun and have a skill to control ourself but people have greediness. It is not a fault if we are greedy, its human nature, we want more and then more, then gambling is money game, we see money then pneumatically we become greedy, but sensible gamblers have a skills to control it and save ourself from debt.

Gambling is not a life of happiness but just one of the ways to get fun. But if one thing that they can't afford to get these fun then, there are many other ways people can spend their free time and get entertainment. We have to know better about ourselves so that we could be calm and realized if how gambling affects to our life if we going to debt of its.

Its not easy i personaly know person which he had big debt,he lose house,cars and lot of money but he stops to play over the night for begining this is a crucial decision by the time he paid some his debts but he stops to gamble,in those moments, the most important thing is to find a motive to continue life.

I've also felt that way. But my debt is not in large quantities. I just sold my phone. In gambling games, it is very prone to debt. Therefore, dont bet in large numbers in order not to be in debt when it gets defeated.

In my younger years of gambling I would spend most of what I had and some. I was always chasing losses. It was hard to change my mindset to you can't win them all and only gamble what I can afford to lose. It took a while to work off debts accrued but at least now I can gamble for fun rather than profit.

I think staying away from gambling is the best thing to do,  because thats what I did when I was in debt but not that much, around $5,000 and I sold some of my appliances. No matter what, dont ever sold or pawn your house. While when I was in debt I was looking for a way to double or atleast make half of my income every month, I also talked to the person that I owe. I work hard for it, and staying away from gambling as much as possible , Then slowly I was paying for my debt till I finished paying.
Its up to a person whether he wants to recover as early as possible or stay losser forever. We have different mindset with different personality. Recovering from debts is the only way to regain their happiness. Stay away from gambling for a while now, he can go back from gambling after he recovered but with extreme precaution and self control.

I guess you can learn from your mistake and not doing the same mistake again for now. it is not good if we are still gambling with the money from debt because we can not pay back the money if we are loose. it is better to gamble for fun and enjoy the games than we are chasing our loss because it is really difficult for us to get our money back.

Probably, the main problem of gambling is, people forget the basic rule, only gamble what you can afford to loose, those people who enjoyed playing gamble, but they also suffered and struggled their debt. The salary isn't enough for the family to provide, that's why more loans was overdue because of the gamble is giving more priority rather than family necessities. There's nothing wrong with gambling if you intend to do just for fun and always be mindful of every amount you gamble.

I think it's strange (not impossible) that you can basically go from being addicted to gambling to gambling casually.
Once you're a problem gambler, it's so difficult to even quit and nearly impossible to not become addicted again once you start gambling 'for fun' again.

There's a good reason why alcoholics for example need to quit drinking altogether and can't have another drink anymore after they've gone into rehab or whatever.

If it's difficult to get the money back why then gamble for fun? Because yo are going to loose more gambling for fun that is why I agree with your earlier statement that he shouldn't repeat the same mistake by gambling with a borrowed money because that makes us irresponsible as gamblers.

Why in the hell would someone go and borrow money just to gamble, this is one of the signs of a complete gambling addict who has no control over their actions at all. And am sure the said person is piling a lot of debts on the way because what i have noticed is that desperate people don't win when they gamble.

That is something we have to avoid, chasing our loses is a big recipe to disaster and you will likely to loss control if you keep doing that.
Be smart and accept if you loss in a certain day because you still have a chance to win tomorrow, what's necessary is to always spend based on your limit as gambling is a big risk game that does not guarantee a win.

Trying yo win back losses is commen mistake that gamblers make. The moment after lossing money is hard to surpass without doing a reaction. Learning how to control ourselves as gamblers is the hardest thing. If you ever loose money just get over it because that's gambling sometimes you win sometimes you loose. Just forget it and start playing again without the idea of winning it back.

Moving on is the thing on which most gamblers do fail to do so when they do play gambling because they cant just easily accept that they do lose on that play and rather they do chase up with rage and this is the time they do possibly go all in with their money without thinking that they are already risking too much money without their proper awareness to theirselves.

if this happens and all debts that have occurred because of gambling,
meaning gambling is not suitable for the job
the best advice is to avoid and get out of gambling.
but all of this will come true when many people support it mentally.
because the gambler must be approached emotionally.
so that they realize that gambling will only make them miserable in life

The first mistake is to gamble because the problem starts from there itself. Second if you play for money and not for fun. Third inspite of losing you still continue to play forgetting that casinos will be making money and not general public by large. Fourth when you take a debt to recover those loses and you lose back .

many people would say gambling is just for fun of the pleasure of winning, but if you do it several times it become a hobby if you still continue to gamble become a vicious activities specially when you are using your money that is not for that purpose and lastly when you lend money from other person or lending institutions just for gambling then it start to ruin your life and your family.

I had also faced the same situation and was in very bad debt but after coming to bitcoin and sports betting i started to recover my loss and now earning decent bitcoin through lot of tasks.

I knew a guy who had the same problem as you. He came asking me to loan him money so gave. When i demanded him to pay me back after a while he was giving me excuses every time. Then he opned up to me and told me about his problem. He was i serious problem because his depts were too high and he couldn't pay back since he is jobless and thought gambling will provide him money. He lost most of his properties and he still haven't collect enough money.
His life became such a mess and i did what i could to help him by giving him advice. We lost contact now. Too bad to see gambling leeds to that kind of situation.

Yes, that is why my main reason as to why I quit gambling is because I do not want to make the same mistakes. I used to gamble a lot with my friends and I lost much money, and I really regret getting into the field of gambling. But I had never taken a debt to recover the money I lost.

It is really bad to see a friend of yours being in debt and getting into a real bad depression. He is definitely going to have some suicidal thoughts. People need to think before they get themselves into a big mess!

There are problem gamblers who end it up in a short time period due to the greed of making money in a short. In reality none will get into gambling for fun, because we've got lot other things for fun, just expecting profit people get into gambling which is the truth. What's been mentioned finally is true, expecting profit getting debt and gambling will surely ruin the life of the user.

They need to know that money isn't everything in life, anyway if they are in big debt they should start to create a plan to repay them, success in any other ambit of the life and maybe ask a professional.

You are right but my main opinion is that gambling is a big distraction to all of us because it will cause you to make debts or borrow because of your addiction on it.

No matter what, the debt need to be solved, sell your things, do extra job to cover it and stip gambling at once, never attempt to cover your debt by gambling, suicide is not the answer, if you borrow money from loan shark, they will still target your family

To get rid of the problem with debt, much better to do if you avoid gambling if necessary.but if we are in debt and we using the money for gambling then we get loss it in our mistake before we realize that our money  has gone for nothing.  So it's better if we have a plan to get debts or owe to other people,  we used  it in a right way.

I may not be addicted into gambling because i only play when i want to take my
stress and gambling gives me enjoyment.but all vices is addicting such as Womanizing ,
chain smoking ,alcoholic drug addiction and gambling addiction so i think i can make
my self here..

I use to be an alcoholic and chain smoker,but you know what change me?its GOD he
made my life new,he opens my heart and he became the center of my life.so for
those whos into addicting now.just Let God be in your life.i promise goodness will come

I would say that about 80-90% of gamblers are in debt at one point in their lives until they hit a winning streak.
But they still end up in debt more than half the time because that is just statistics.
You can never beat the house with their edge.
It is statistically impossible to keep a good winning streak going no matter how much skill and luck you have at a certain game.

That’s simply not true. Nothing could be further from the truth. Can you quote any source to back what you are saying?
Your percentage of gamblers in debt is, by far, too exaggerated, and to say that those gamblers get out of debt by hitting a winning streak is just making up a story.

People who have problems with gambling are statistically similar to those who have problems with alcohol. Most people are responsible gamblers, as well as responsible drinkers.

The main reason for all things to happen to people first start only for fun or experience the game how it works or wants to make an easy money from these games. But slowly if they like the game will continue playing regularly or if they lose money to continue gambling to get back their money. That makes people slowly to addict this game and continue every day. That's why if we can't control our emotions then never go to gambling at all instead find other means to get fun or enjoyment.

I am saying it to this range because that is what you hear from the media with 1 in 10 actually walking away with atleast some winning but out of those they have 9 people who walk away empty handed.
I do not think that is much exaggerated one bit.

The person who is gambling with loaned amount indeed indicates that they are an addictive gambler. I personally don't think they will be successful in their gamble since they carry a big responsibility that affects their greediness and emotion so that they will fail and get a more significant problem.

To add to that, having a big loan will largely affect the decision making of a person, its not good for a gambler to think that he/she has to pay all his/her loan or debt while sitting down on a gabling table.
More problem might occurred if a person tends to loan more just to pay a previous loan who has lost into gambling.

Not also addictive gambler but also problem gambler. Losing on gambling is really bad and with debt on it will make it worst. The person can easily go suicide if this happened, because they have nothing left. The sad is there are many people like this, using debt on gambling and hope they can win to payback the debt.

Something that bothers me so much, is hearing people who aren't actual gamblers, brag/glamorize the whole gaming industry....  As if its fun, cool, etc....


I know they say it not understanding, but as a person who is excluded from 14 casinos in 3 different states, I will never understand how it became acceptable, yet drugs and alcohol are universally looked at as bad...


It's  a shame....


but anyways....

Good luck everyone

Yeah and i don't know why some people don't understand that. It's already too risky gambling with your own money. Imagine the pressure if you lose a bet with a borrowed capital. It's not only money you'll lose but trust and you can even get in trouble legally. Gamble at least with your own money and with a clear, sound mind

if what you owe to your friend is too much you can tell them you not in that position to afford paying back or wait for the creditor to declare it a bad debt
or you could file for bankruptcy to stop your creditors from further pestering and continue living a happy life and to be honest if you fail paying back small debts any further debt should be avoided because you will have more enemies than friends.

Yes, it oftenly happens if a person is already addicted in gambling, much more if his capital is compromise and he continue back to play for his loses and the tendency is he was burry in debt just aiming to win back. So to avoid this situation then we should always put a limit or control in gambling and think always that gambling should not be our first priority.

For some people, gambling provides a temporary respite from their problems so they make ways to keep on gambling. Imagine for example, you're depressed and gambling is one of the things that can comfort you but you don't have money. Ita normal that these people do something and go as far as even stealing just to fund their gambling

You know what, one thing I have learnt through the years is that people have their own story to tell. And, in the case of gambling, there are reasons behind gamblers' stay in this business. Hence, you cannot really judge one person in comparison to another because chances are you are hitting at a disadvantaged person. Like for instance, one person has been removed from his job without due process and all he has is a little money to aid him in sustaining his ailing wife. Thereby he opted to gamble on the premise that his money will multiply in value in the littlest amount of time because it is his wife's life that is at stake. So you see, there are valid reasons too. You just have to pay attention. Thus, gambling -- may it be in Bitcoin or not -- should be considered in its rawest forms.

Everyone of us has our own way of coping and dealing with our problems so if someone prefer to do gambling just to divert or forget whatever they are going then we can't really tell that person not to do gambling. I think the best advice we can give them is try not to get addicted in gambling, I guess if the sole purpose of gambling is just for fun then getting addicted in gambling will not be that problem.

Oh yeah, even how many people hear there different advices it will still end up on your own decision. Gambling is game that might ruin your financial aspects that will can have more debts and loan everywhere in order to survived the daily needs. Being addicted in gambling is not easily to cure, if you can't control anymore much better let yourself go to rehabilitation in order to cure enough. Lastly, if you don't want to ruin your financial just stop gamble or else it will end up a misery status of your life.

That's the worst thing any gambler could  do, how can you gamble to solve your problems? You loose and you compound it unless money isn't a problem else i agree with you that they are easily plunged into addiction and could end up stealing and taking loans to fund their gambling games.

If you're already in debt because of gambling addiction, then you're in poor condition and have no money. Usually people who are addicted to gambling are people who have a lot of money or just a rich person who can enjoy gambling. But if you're already in debt, that means you have to realize that gambling is not going to make your debts get paid off. Gambling will only exacerbate your debt, and you have to find a real job that can pay off your debt. Stop gambling, and relieve all your mistakes in the past, now is the time for you to be realistic and make your family happy.

Ive been there. Being addicted in gambling, had debts and forgot my responsibilty to my kids as a parent. I managed to overcome those dark past by moving on with the help of my family. I had to go out of town and stay in the province for almost a year while my parents repaid my debts. I got a job when i get back and things are going smooth, all went well and i paid my parents for my debts. Now im still playing but fully aware of how far should i go. I gamble for fun and i learned from the past. Now i have job, business and btc investment. I wont do the same mistakes again. Dont dwell in the past and think of a way to overcome your agony.

Yes, Everything is good in limits but if you are crossing the limits, sooner or later you are going to get into some big trouble. People often don’t understand this thing and in order to win back their losses, they gamble too much but unfortunately they keep losing money.

Usually they borrow money from others in order to recover their losses and keep going in debt in this way. The only way to avoid this situation is to put some limits on yourself while gambling.

When you loose in gambling there is big possibilities that you cannot recover your money or may be a very slim opportunity, because  I've hear lot of  story about life ruin because of gambling addicting. one factor that would stop you from being gambling addict is self control you set limitations in your self, you set priorities in your life. but once a person is in a worst gambling addiction in which he or she in debt. the best thing that we should do is to seek a professional help like psychologist that can do counseling.

Always it is being said that only play with the amount that one can actually lose. But there are so many people who are so addicted to this that inspite of losing the big amount they still take loan or borrow money from friends and relatives to win the lost amount in gamble.  This happens to those who does not have any control on themselves.

You really cannot blame anyone for the life they have chosen and the truth is that it amuses me too when I see people considering gambling as fun.

Gambling is just like a way to get all your funds sucked up and the only people benefiting from it are those who own the casinos, both offline and online while those who see it as fun or are trying to make quick money from it are just trying to manage with the little they have and end up dashing it all out to those who already have more than them. However, like I said, it is the world we live in and different strokes for different folks.

Some people are really addict on gambling that they will do everything just to get some money and using money that comes from a debt is not really good for this purpose. Lots of people are doing bad things to other people just to have money so they can gamble and worst cases they killed people. If you don't want to end up like this, then stop doing bad things just to gamble.

Addicted gambler always in a debt, because he never know about his limitation in gambling, he use money and lost, again he use money and lost and then he borrow money to others, also he used his borrow money in gambling. This situation is continue and in the end his hand is empty but his hand full of debt.   

It's really a big problem having a debt as long as to have a capital for gambling, very impractical.They do as there bad habit which also being part on there life. It makes there life ruin and financial as well, they didn't discipline there self. I would say much better let there self go in the rehabilitation so that they can be discipline enough on the different program of rehabilitation center. Also, being a gambler will create struggle as a breadwinner that makes there financial support didn't met the budgeted amount for there daily needs.

If you are a family man then you are really putting your family on a ruined future since when it comes to financial aspect it would really be mainly affected due to such addiction into gambling. Debt is normal for those people who are on this state which they wouldnt care if they would borrow others money to play gambling and serve as a capital without even thinking on the possible risk or outcome later on.

All the gamblers I know are in debt and I think they are used with the life they have. I think if they will not stop gambling they will never be out of debt its sad that they come to that point, gambling is supposed to be fun and not a problem.

Wouldn't it be more of a problem if you state that you are in debt from gambling too much?
People would be putting it more into prospective for themselves.
Which could cause it to be a problem for them to accept if they truly are in a problem state because of gambling.

I wouldn't like to say if I am or not.

Gamblers didn't proclaim themselves on having addiction on gambling, much more telling that they are in debts, it's not new that they keep on denying such situations but they should realize the effects it can gives once their into much debt, they might lise everything so better have control.

Some people who do this kind of stuff totally end up mistaking gambling for a way to earn a living. You are right, there are so many people like this and the painful part is that they keep running from debt into debt when they could just use the funds to do something tangible with their life rather than trying to chase or recover losses.

We are always responsible of our actions or decisions. In gambling we always bear in mind that its a game of luck. Its a high risk investment. However, human as we are tend to become overwhelmed in the events that we have lots of winnings. And human as we are, has the attitude of being unsatisfied. We want to compete and dream more. The worst thing is when its beyond our means. Personally, I think we just need a self discipline and self control. Its so easy to say it but we really need it. To lookback and think twice before we decide. Specially for the times when we get overwhelmed.

self discipline and self control is the important thing that we should have. but if we are in debt, I don't think that we can risk the money from our debt to playing gambling. there is no guarantee for us to win more money with that money. and if we don't have good control and discipline, we can use that money to playing gambling.

I'm one of that history, a gambler who are in debts. I  use to be an addict gambler before even l almost a loser for straight 2 months l used to go back gambling until I have a lot of debts. It's like lm a Criminal people hunting me because of my debts. I'm hiding anywhere like no where to run. Until my aunt help me to get out of this situation. I feel so shame to all people especially in our community because my father is a barrangay official. That's the biggest embarrassing moment in my life that give me a lesson in life.

They can’t control them unless something so strong and mentally attached them has happened. They never tried to go away from gambling unless they lost. And once they lost, they come back to regain the lost amount and this again lost. But their try don’t fail. They are increasing their will power to lose and lose but then a time come when they released they were doing wrong.

There is no discipline already when you are in debt because of gambling, I mean that is a stupid idea to borrow money to gamble because there is no guarantee that you will win, gambling is a game of chance and whether you win or lose you still have to pay your debt, the big problem  will come if you lose and you do not have the capacity to pay your debt, you are like making a suicide with your reckless decision making.

I have seen quite a number of articles on how rich people squanders away all of their wealth to fund their gambling addiction and most of them even got into the worst scenario which is borrowing money from anyone they could find and getting themselves into debt, the best advice is just gamble what you can afford to lose.

I definitely agree with you. This is what I always say and believe when someone is having a big debt due to gambling. Having your friend relatives and family to help you would be great but only you who have been addicted with it will change whatever issues you had in gambling. Those debts can be repaid but with the hard work that you have and the help of loved ones but the addiction should stop in order to regain whatever you have lost due to gambling. Persons’ own discipline with himself would be the aid for it.

Gamble what you can afford to lose but still you cant able to control your self  still youll end up borrowing money because you can still afford it to lose but not thinking the opposite side that it will end up losing your borrowed money. I think those addicted to gambling end up borrowing money so that they think they can get back their losses but end up losing more.

Honestly speaking it is really hard to come out of that phase of a life when you have lost everything you once owned only because you wanted or desired more. But , it could be forgotten if a person decides to do a work which truly inspires him or to which he is passionate about. Yeah , it would require a lot of time and dedication coming out of that phase and it is not going to be easy. A person should not only learn from his mistakes but should become wise enough to learn from others mistakes so that you don't do that mistake.

its not about friends and family if a person doesnt show any effort or signs that he actually wants
to quit gambling because of his addiction nothing can be done once the person has a mind set of actually
quiting gambling it might be easier for him

The best solution for such people is to come clean and assume their past deeds . Either go pay that debt or work you ass off to repay the people who owe you in any other possible way . If those people are dangerous people then your family is your number 1 priority and you shouldn't let them subit the consequences of your deeds . Before getting a loan everyone should ask himself is he able or not to repay it , if not then you'd better not get involved with any activity that can destroy your life because of that debt , and gambling is one of them ! .

Debts or not it's really depend much on how you're controlling your emotion when you made a bet. Knowledges are necessary too in case you want to win.

I knew a guy , he's stucking in his debt due to the gambling problems. Suddenly he comes back, make a huge jackpot and having around 30k$ in his pocket. I suggest him to stop gambling but he won't listen. Now he already had a debt over 40k$ and his 30k$ winning are all gone.

I am used to be a problem gambler with the huge debt but i did it, i'm been through everything and i'm back to myself for now.

THAT i think is the most problemetic of the result of being an addicted gambler is that you bury yourself in debt. In debts that are so insurmou table that you try to buy it off with other loans and you end up getting dragged dwon more and it just hets worse from there

Most people nowadays, just like having an minimum salary will relying on the debts such as loans from different person or lending company due to there salary doesn't exactly to there daily needs. Infact, the loan will bubble up to maximum limit in times of health. My point is there's  a lot to be prioritized compared in doing gambling. Gambling is a game that will only your luck can assure either win or lose and its unpredictable to determined the possible situation. The worst case might be doing such to gamble is the cause to bubble up your debts since theres a lot to be doing first it's not possible that it might be happened to each and everyone of us. Gambling may ruin everything like your financial supports and your relationship to your family because you will no longer support your obligation. Just control and self discipline to avoid too much debts to have a simple living with your love ones.

Regarding of that, I think it's a good idea to change the course of life towards a more to avoidable of the risks.
After all, we should be able to improve our lives as well as possible and have a better life developments than to falling into a places that can leads to continuously ugliness.
If it's already have a strong intend to stay away from gambling and looking for more positively things to earn money, I'm sure it will succeed in facing and recover the situation, it depends on ourselves in having a strong intend doing more positively and it can be really to avoid from the risks.

Im not so expert about kind  of this situation if gamblers are in debt and you thinks  all its over,all we can do is to pray and seeking the help of the creator,so that the burden that we carry will be lesser,and if we overcome this situation we just find another way of living,we must go to trading investment and not in gambling business,because mostly of gambler when you gamble 85% already in your capital will loss.

It's kind of useless to ask an addicted gambler who is in debt to stop gambling, and thats because the only way for him to pay back people or cut his losses is to gamble even more. I learned that after recovering from similar situations so i would suggest that he play smart and remain focused and maybe luck will be on his side.

You and me both brother.. I was deep in the addiction and to a point where I almost lost everything and had a lot of debt but then fortunes turned around and just a few steps away from the suicide hotline I managed to grap a huge win and more or less solve most of my issues, now I don't gamble anymore and I thank the gambling gods for not pushing me to do it either :D

i knew someone who is addicted to gambling before. actually, she was my close friend and she's still young. a promising nurse by one of the wealthiest personality here in my country. and because of gambling addiction she lost everything and had a big debt in casino. what she did is she sold her new built house and pay her debt. after that, they migrated to other countries with her family.

I am not a gambler, but I have a lot of debts and it affects the family financial. The things I do are always thinking positively, working hard, do my best, but do not repeating same mistakes and praying. Hopefully my life gets better.

It is really sad story and in gambling field we see a lot of sad stories like this. It is happened because we have no control on our greediness and in the end result is always giving us bad effect on our life. If problem gamblers have control on self then may be few gamblers just like you are telling the story people could save their debt.

Yeah! Honestly speaking, gambling puts the gamblers in lots of debts and for getting out of these debts these gamblers also show attraction towards many other crimes like snatching, kidnapping etc and being caught in such activities not only put them in immense issues also their reputation made in society is also ruined and people blame their families for their doings who are totally unaware about all this and are innocent people and these debts are still left as a problem for gamblers.

Most gamblers have the mindset that once they were able to hit the jackpot, they have the chance of hitting the jackpot once again and therefore they throw whatever money at the hopes of repeating their success once again but thats very erroneous and they end up losing and getting into more debts.

If your life is already a mess don't ever try to do gambling because it can really ruin your life. Most of the gamblers are really in debt simply because of greed, people are showing too much greed just to get money or to get back their losses. Better not to do it when you are incapable to do so.

I don't have firsthand experience in that matter but my friend who is a big gambler has that problem. He is addicted in gambling in which he have to go to casinos every week and there comes a point in time where he started selling his things just to have money for gambling but before it worsened he got back up in his feet and started realizing just by himself that he is not winning the amount needed to cover up all the losses he have incurred while he is gambling that luck is not on his side that is why he decided not to gamble anymore. I am glad that my friend has change for the better, I am not saying that gambling is bad but losing all your money for it is.

This is common among on those gamblers who did face such consequences because of too much addiction into gambling. People do usually make some realizations when they are already facing hardships on life but well this is common among human that they wont really stop a thing if they didnt face any hardships in their life. Good for your friend that he did able to recover because there are some people which comes to a point on doing suicide because of such debt.

Debt gamblers are those who keeps on chasing their loses, it's normal in gambling, they who use gambling as their source of income, apparently not eveyone were able to do this activity so once we think that are debt increases due to gambling better think of quitting on it or else worse might happen.

You will never be in trouble if you set proper limits and stick to them. You out x amount away a month or week to gamble and make sure it's additional money you don't mind losing. Never bet or gamble with money you need. Always use additional money that way you can win and enjoy it and if you lose it's ok you try again next week. If you use disopline you can gamble this way and never worry about addiction or financial problems. If someone can't be responsible and set limits then they probably shouldn't be gambling.

I hope that he doesn't use his money from debts to playing gambling because he will be difficult to pay his debts. without having a job, he cannot earn money and without money, he cannot pay back his debts. this is why that he must not gambling with that money and only use that money for another purpose.

Not many people do that anyways i think. People who are desperate and can think of no other ways to make money are probably those that do this. You're just making things a whole lot worse. There may be those that are saved by gambling but that mostly happen in movies

and we can hope that if someday we are in debts, we don't use that money to play gambling to make money. I think there are many people that realize about this and somehow they can use that money to open their business and after running for some period they can pay the money.

Wow! What a great message you have given bro. Yeah! I completely agree with your saying that debts are like a shadow to their life which doesn’t let them free until they go to the bed of death.

Same is the case in reality that these debts are not letting the man go free however they remain with the gambler till the last breath of his life and finally sets him free when he is lying upon his death bed and puts his family in trouble after leaving the world.

The worst part is that gamblers who are addicted not only spoil their life but also their family life. They will borrow funds form friends or their families member for gambling and will lose that too amount. Now their family has to replay those debts which their children has gambled and lose out. This can affect the relationship as well if not controlled on time.

Agree mostly those gambler that has a debt the family mostly paying the debts because he cant repay it . Mostly of the gamblers will loan a money because thinking that they could get back their losses but end up lossing more. Mostly those addicted one is really a lot of debts because they cant mostly control their feelings on spending it , they only just bet and bet and hoping they could win big and not thinking their debts

this is indeed the long term for addicted effect from gambling because their debt each days will high and higher again then eventually they cannot again paying their debt even already sold their wealth such as their houses but usually after they're losing their wealth but the problem cannot be solved automatically because they will find another way to back in gamble although already poor

Good to know this.
But it must of been a rough road to get thru to be able to quit it out of your life so to get back to normal again.
Your one of the lucky ones I guess. Because most the stories I have heard is that most do not and they are forced out of their homes and sometimes out of their own families disown them because of it.
They become to much of a burden and even end up robbing people for money to feed their addiction.
It is much like a drug in some sense.
Sad really. :(

Addiction is a silent killer. It's really hard to regain whatever you or other losses in this type of addiction. Though whatever it may take a person still need to reconstruct his/her foundation to continue on with his/her life. I pity those people who lost their battle with this addiction. I myself used to be an addict in gambling but I did everything I could to step out in this line of industry, I've been in debt because of gambling and I even lost my family and my house because of it. So I started to think more of my family than myself. I begin to lay low in gambling and spend more time with my family and defeat my addiction.

For those people who lose everything, they must look at it as a wake-up call for them to change and to totally fight his/her addiction. It would take time but just believe in the process.


We all have this what we called fruits of happiness in which each person has different reasons to be happy. Generally speaking, for this type of cases. A person who is the middle of a crisis in his life must forgive himself and free himself from the chains that preventing him to be happy. Leave gambling as early as they can to avoid further damage. Yes, It's easy to say than done but it's the only way to regain one's composure against all odds.

I know many people , who are really good people, they turn into the bad guy and scam everyone he met cause he's in the big debt. It's a sad story.

I am really surprised that how one had made a comeback from such a thing, however I have also seen people who reach to their death bed but still they try to gamble just to give peace to their soul.

Also I have heard many cases in which the people get through this rough and dry journey of their life only by the help of psychiatrists and for that they have to pay a lot of heavy dues but his loving ones pay just not to lose him.

Money is everything to us and debt that is unpayable can really destroy your life. A lot of people are getting addicted to the gambling and with the bad moves in their life, they are making way to their doom. Their demise is getting even bigger when they come to the endpoint. Every gambler that has problems with the money and that has suffered the big losses must find "that something" to put him on the right way again. The instant money present would be the best solution for every gambler problems but the life is a little more complicated than that. People with the strong will can prevail all the debts they have made but to be completely relieved and put back to the trail of happiness gamblers with the debts must decide if the gamble itself is more precious then their life.

Debt is something we do not want to do. But we also have to know the situation, if there is an urgent need and we really need quick money then we can owe, but only for the purposes that must be met. If debt is just for gambling then it is an essential folly. It would be foolish to force a debt to gamble or to have a lot of debt because the possessions are always spent on gambling.

This totally depends upon how intelligent a gambler is. If he’s smart enough, he will definitely not gamble from debts because it will put him in financial crisis which would be situation difficult to handle for his family and himself also.

But if the gambler is so addicted and is absent minded and also relies on a single statement “I will see” then surely he would play with his debts when empty handed and the results will be not in his favor.

Addicted people always try to arrange money from different sources either they are in debt or credit, As gambling is a game of luck and no one can become lucky for every time. Therefore most of the gambler remain as in debt. But I think it is not right to say that they will stop playing gambling. They will even manage to get money and will continue playing gambling

Yes that is right but I think still most of the people even having limit for their gambling but still they cannot control themselves from playing gambling. In fact gambling is such kind of games which compel people to continue playing gambling even after reaching to their limits even they take loan for continue playing gambling and that is the reason that most of the gamblers remain in debt.

Being in debt is the worst thing one can get into. Having debt is quite stressing and quite demotivating.
Gambling can offcourse cause debt. But being in debt and still being involved in gambling is the most threatfull thing.

When one is already in debt, doing something that may possibly and cause and potentially bring more debt is not suggestive. One should try and come out of debt and then only think of gambling or any sort of such game or investment.

One will end up getting more deep into the pit of debt if they continue gambling.

It means that you passed some hard time in the past and it is all because of gambling. Better not to gamble again. I have seen a lot of gamblers who have lost even their homes, cars, businesses and everything and they never make anything form gambling.

Gambling is not good and also illegal in many countries, the reason for banning is that it is a bad thing and you can come to roads from a palace.

I hate those kinds of people, those who will beg that I should let him borrow my money and he will return it immediately but after a month I learned  that he just used his borrowed  money to gamble and he got lose. Now,  he still got some guts to borrow again,  I'll definitely give him a hard punch in his face

Gambling can really make your life miserable and experience things that you didnt even imagine that would happen into your entire life.It can really wreck out someones life if you let your addiction control you specially on gambling we do know it involved money and money is the main thing we do need to live on this world. Sustaining our needs, food,shelter and other priorities and if you did compromise it because of gambling you would really suffer the consequences.

You know that gambling is not a good thing overall , don't do it when you always losing control.
Because the debts come from the desire you want to recover what you have lost and it was an addiction.
I do believe a lot of people get in this kind trouble , that is the life of a gambler.

I beg to differ because a lot of gamblers have been successful too and can't say that gambling is  a bad thing because it even gives employment to some people and they pay taxes to the government. Those that play it can be bad people and not gambling itself because irresponsible people also play and they loose their monies most of the time and earn that bad name  for gambling which shouldn't be so,.

People always tend to lose control whenever they are gambling, they put limits on how much they are going to gamble but they end up going way overboard in the process.  They can't seem to help it at all. But since they have hope of winning money they keep on coming for more.

You're absolutely right mate, most gamblers were addicted that they will bet as much as they can aiming to win but in the end they will go home nothing left in their wallet. In the worst case they will do bad things like robbery and commit a crime. This all thing was happened due to greediness of a gambler person and having too many debt. Also, a gambler person can't control easily because of being addicted and they must be discipline and if possible to go in a rehabilitation.

Self-control is paramount. If you do not know how to control yourself then you do not fit in the gambling world. Gambling without self-control will only make you a loser. For example, owe only to gamble, it is a real loser.
 The real loser in the gambling world is like that.
 

I don't think that they won't fit in, but they would fit in in the addicted gamblers label because they can't control themselves anymore. If you have no way of controlling what you do then that's definitely how the things are going to get going. You need to really come up with a way to control yourself.

It seems that this problem was always been there as problem gamblers suffer with emotions, thinking that they can win back those loses that they already got and keep trying to find some luck, and instead of quitting after winning some they usually continue and suffer again big loses, it will just keep repeating so better to find solution or start quitting this activity.

Exactly, there are many out there who call themselves gamblers but they don't fit that description because they lack the discipline and self control to be able to compete against the house effectively. I call such folks irresponsible risk takers and not gamblers.

That's how the real life of an addict of gambling, they do promising a lot of things but the reality it's just a lie , the game itself destroy everything around. You have a plan but then get broken by the greedy. Since money always involved here then getting loan fund become the worst idea ever that no one should do it.

What if someone is controlling himself from not putting much money on stake but still he is not making any progress? Brother this is not about controlling, this is all about the nature of the source. If you don’t have a wise mind, lend it from someone and just consider this gambling. Check whether it is profitable for you or not. You will easily get the answer for this complex game.

Telling a gambler to self control is like telling a pizza lover hey there's pizza but don't eat it. Gambler's can never do self control it's just not made for them. I remember myself down in debt of 5k and I was litteraly scrapping through my way, doing odd jobs to pay of my debts and that was one of my worst time of my life I yet get the cold running during my back, when I remember those days.

I think the best solution for them is to stop gambling and pay their debt,
They should work hard to pay for their debt it is their fault after all.

When I started learning about BTC back in Feb. I started claiming from faucets. There was one faucet who made my $0.27 into $20 by gambling. I thought it was a good deal and started putting real money on it. Started with $20, $40, $100. I've lost it all. That's where I started asking for loans to recover my losses and long story short, I even lost the rest in gambling. I've lost 0.1 BTC overall. Should be worth something today if I've just kept it. Well, I now only play with my faucet claims, and use my free money in trading. Much lesser gains than gambling, but much lesser risks. And I'm back here trying to get something extra to recuperate my losses.

In fact most of the gamblers have no limits for their game and they gamble till they lose everything and many people wants their money back at the same time and goes into debt. I have seen many gamblers who lost their houses in gambling. It means that they have no controls on their minds to stop gambling when they lose all their money and gambling more leave them in debts.
