Recently an Indian young boy committed suicide as he lost enough money by betting in IPL. He lost all of his money then borrowed money from his friends and bet with it in a hope of win back something. But he lost everything and took the step finally.

This is nothing new, we know a lot of gambler committed suicide earlier after losing large amount in gambling. I have found another news reletaed to this IPL's Dark Side: A Rise in Suicide Cases Has Greeted the Return of Live Cricket on TV (https://m.thewire.in/article/sport/ipl-betting-suicide-cricket)

People shouldn't bet with the money what they can't afford to loss. Borrowing money for betting is worst decision ever. Every gambler know these things but many of them still do it. Does this kind of news make you worried? Share your thought about this.

It's a pity for such news. Sometimes we as gambler should imbibe the culture of risk management to avoid this situation. Also, teenage addiction in gambling is the worst in the history, those who have been addicted from teenage stage find it difficult to exit such acts and most time ends them into commit suicide. Hope the government of Indian wake up to the task of regulating her citizens against gambling either traditional or online gambling. 'May the soul of the depart find rest in his bosom but not for suicide'.

I felt bad for that boy. Honestly gambling should be just for entertainment and shouldn't be use in hopes to get a good profit for a living, I hope this should raise an awareness to all gamblers that don't gamble if you cannot afford to lose your money.

It is a terrible shame, if anything this teaches us that betting should be heavily regulated so it should not be possible to bet under the age of 21 (maybe even 25?). Younger people simply do not comprehend the risks involved and how the mathematical odds can really be stacked against them. We have to remember that every gambling institution is only open because it is making a nice profit from people losing money - they are not doing it in order to give away free money. Like drugs, people need to be taught that irresponsible use of betting will cause great problems for them in life.

This is not really a good news. Still a lot of people are giving all of what they had to test their chance in gambling but mostly the chances are not good I hope this could be a lesson to anyone that don't play gambling games if you can't handle your emotion if you lose.

I read some similar stories a man committed suicide because of debts and losing money in gambling. A sad story to read, this is why when you gamble never ever borrow money from others, just gamble on what you can afford. When you borrow money there is a tendency you can attain a huge debts if you don't have a control and self discipline. Just gamble when you have funds and treat for entertainment purpose only. Let’s not make our life difficult and find other ways like entertainment to recover from gambling addiction.

^ sad to read news like this. what was he thinking, even if he lost the gamble he shouldn't have killed himself, his friends would surely understand his predicament. what utter stupidity, his life was not worth the gambling debt he had to pay. I pray there are no more cases like this.

For some reason it does not allow people from my country to see the news but from what you say it is obvious he could not manage the anguish of having lost so much money, this is why we must avoid at all costs to put ourselves in such position, it is OK to gamble occasionally if you like it but it must be done with moderation because as this case proves you can lose way more than just money, he was probably worried his friends will turn their back to him and he could not take it anymore.

This also shows why we must not minors to gamble, they simply do not have the mental maturity to do it since if he worked hard he could always recover the money he lost and some of the friendships that will end as a result of this and instead decided to take that path from which there is no return.

First of all, rest in peace to the person involved.

Now this is what I consider to be an extreme case of gambling irresponsibly. Borrowing money for gambling without you having any means of paying it back is not good and unjustified any way you look at it. You are just putting yourself in a lot of trouble by doing so, even if the bet turns out to be favorable on your way. The risk, anxiety, and stress involved in this move is just so high that it isn't worth it. Plus, he was chasing his losses which is already a sign of desperation and lack of clear judgment. It really is sad to see some people going to the extremes just to gamble, but you can't really do much about it especially if they are really determined to go this route in order to gain something which, oftentimes, does not happen.

Is this really a dark side of IPL? Come on man. IPL is here to entertain us, now if someone bets on IPL matches and commit suicide for losing bets, that's their responsibility. IPL isn’t connected in this by any way. I'm too betting on IPL but not that big, nor I will commit suicide if I lose. It’s the mentality.

well usually those who choose the way to end their lives are those who use a lot of capital and take one bet but unfortunately he lost so that it made himself depressed which eventually happened, hopefully this can be a very important lesson that when gambling on IPL must be careful to take steps and as much as possible to be able to split the bet for several matches.

This is really tragic. Unfortunately people who are very poor will sometimes resort to extreme measures to try and make some money. When things don't turn out as planned it can be so devastating that they decide to end their life. Maybe if gambling wasn't seen as such an evil thing and we spent more time educating people on the risks we could avoid these types of situations.

did you know that a few months ago on this forum, there's a member named wb*t7pending almost doing that too?
it's not because he lost on a sportsbook site, but because he got a pending withdrawal from w7b*t.
if I am not mistaken, he really needs that money. however, he didn't get it.
I'm trying to find his thread but seems like it's already deleted.

That's a clasic case of gambling addiction and greed! People jump into gambling world with the hope of making some easy money while in reality, they take a huge risk doing so! Borrowing money for betting sounds like using credit card to buy bitcoin!

These kind of news doesn't make me worried because these are just exceptions. Shit happens when greed takes over your conscious mind and makes you desperate!

This is such a weak and sh*tty decision, there is no good at choosing to kill yourself to solve the problem, you won't solve the problem because your family and your friends will be the one to face the problem you left, do you bear seeing your family suffering because of what you have done? That is not a good thing to do, there are still many ways for you to overcome that kind of problem, and killing yourself is not included in the choices.

If you don't want to lose then you should not try gambling, it is full of risk, do not olay if you don't have any source of money.

So Indian government allows kids to gamble or else the kids are violating the laws and starts betting?

Suicide stories are everywhere and it cannot be controlled if people don't follow the laws of government and parents are in the place to control them.

This is a very sad story but I also see here some mistakes made by his parents. Children and minors shouldn't have access to gambling sites and parents should be aware what their children are doing online.
Gambling addiction could be very dangerous for adults and for so young people who don't have life experience, psychological maturity and strength consequences could be terrible as in this particular case.

I feel sorry for him. But I really think that's really ridiculous to take your own life over the gambling but we cannot blame him for that.
We are in the middle of pandemic I'm pretty sure he is in need of money actually we all are in need of it and he might look at the gambling as solution.
Since it's the fastest way you can get money but it's one of the riskiest one as well.

I Just really feel sorry to those person who do really commit suicide just because they do tend to escape out for that debt problem.Some might able to recover but some cant make it through

which do end up on comitting suicide.Its never been an ideal thing to took up some loan just for you to make up some bets on the sports that you been liking for?

People should really realize that you would really be ending up on this kind of situation where you do took some loan just because you do like to gamble.
Always mind of with the risk accompanied.

I do not regret such suicides in any way. And it's not that I'm stale, it's that very often they choose the easiest way for themselves, but do not think about their relatives. You have to be an idiot to bring so much grief to your parents. Instead of going to work and slowly giving away lost money (if they were strangers) he took his own life. This is not a solution, but a cowardly escape from himself.

Suicide isnt really a good option to avoid your problems and the stress you do currently have.Some people think that this is the only solution and theres no other way but to suicide.
We might be on that situation where everything doesnt seem to be solved out but we know that each problem do have its own solution and since you had done something wrong then
you should really be prepared or aware on what are the possible consequences that would experienced if situations comes worst and we know that gambling does have 2 results
neither you would win or would lose on that certain bet.If you do won with that loaned amount then that will be putting up some smile in your face yet it did save up your ass
but if not then you will really be messing out your life.

this is a very sad news  :'( despite it's not a first time that we heard about similar tragedy.
probably in this case also pandemic event has a role.

Generally speaking, I don't know what is the border between betting for pleasure and a betting addiction.
for sure playing more from a budget or borrowing money for playing is a clue for a worsening...

This is just a part of it but its actually happening for those people who cant able to handle the risk

Example.

Gambling is estimated to be the cause of 500 suicides in the UK a year
Aaron Sluman, 23, killed himself after losing £750 in one night of gambling 
Official data indicates 430,000 people in Britain are problem gamblers

I agree that betting on borrowed money is a bad thing and should be avoided. If it won't get us into trouble, and can have bad effects.
What happened to the Indian boy who finally decided to commit suicide after losing money by betting in IPL, is a bad effect that occurs
as a result of using borrowed money for gambling. We must make gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income.

Maybe IPL isn't connected with those cases directly but indirectly IPL is responsible for the issue. Cause everything happened base on IPL. Sometime player or sports organizer also responsible for this kind of issue. Check this news (https://thecricketlounge.com/2020/11/a-legal-notice-has-been-issued-against-virat-kohli-and-sourav-ganguly)

Yeah, I have noticed it too. Gladly he didn't take any bad step after being depressed. See his reply still here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2607019.msg55024055#msg55024055), it's not deleted.

No government will allow their kids to bet at any platform. Though some teenager engage themselves with betting. They take it as a way of making money and become addicted. So kids are violating the laws.

it's really sad to see this kind of news.
when we look at problems from close they seem big, but in the end life is the biggest gift, much bigger than money.

it's interesting because usually Indian culture believes in reeincarnation, so suicide wouldn't solve any problem, would just accumulate karma for solving on next life.

And the Irony is the official sponsor of IPL 2020 is dream 11 who stole the sponsorship for half of the price from previous year due to China border issues with them for a while now.Well government doesn't really care about the people as long as they are making money from those apps so expecting justice from the government is simply wasting time.

This is so sad. How old was that kid (didn't go through the article)? Aren't there any age restriction or something? Or did he place bets illegally? I did hear that a lot of illegal gambling takes place around in South Asia. The kid should have stopped in the first place when he lost everything. Borrowing more money from friends to get back what he lost was the biggest mistake in his life. I wonder the guy who lent him all those money knew if he was about to gamble it all. I kinda have a feeling that the story would eventually be the same even after he managed to win the bets he placed. He would become addicted and eventually lose everything along with his life.
People should always remember that they should gamble with money that they can afford to lose.

This is really, really sad to be alive. There are many ways out of such a situation, but this is the last one you want. Probably no one in his area has seen him do this or see this coming. He probably emptied in a daze / dream and when it was money he had a moment of weakness and couldn't resist. Very sad. For the family now too. They will feel this pain.
I once read a similar story about a family who wanted to sue a gambling company after losing a loved one, but they can't do much about it in my view. They were totally unaware.

A boy? How old was he? That's a very sad news  :-[
When people gamble they should remember the first rule of gambling and NEVER break it : Only gamble with funds you can afford to lose.

Even people bet with the amount they can't afford to lose, it's an irresponsible act to just go suicide about it.

Aside from that boy losing money on betting, there are other parts of the story that we don't know that not mentioned on the news. There are lots of people who already loss big but still standing and able to recover. What we saw on the news is only the thing that triggered the suicide decision but for sure there are lots of problems on that boy's mind for a long and now it reached the conclusion.

This is what will happen if someone is addicted to gambling but he is not exactly ready for it. For some people in gambling, they only focus on the profits that they may get, they only expect for winning. But they do not pay attention to losses that they will also face. In gambling, there will be loss and also win, so if we are not ready for the loss, means not to involve in the gambling world.
And I do not blame him, but it can be a very precious lesson for us. "Never gamble what you can't afford".
However,r if someone is addicted, these words may mean nothing.

News like this doesn't worry me or anything scary and also, someone borrowing money to gamble is basically not a bad decision as long as they have control. That is, if he has a full-time job then it will be easy, please borrow but with control which means, when you lose you can still return it after getting a salary. But if he is an unemployed person, I personally still think it's not a big mistake, because as long as they borrow money to gamble with the awareness of their skills I'm sure it will be fine, because what must be avoided is borrowing money just because of an ambition without accompanied by good skills and knowledge then obviously, that would be a big mistake. Regarding suicide, it is only a psychological problem because there are still many people who can survive even though they have a pressure, but someone who commits suicide because they have pressure, they are people whose souls have been sick.

It's not new, we heard a lot of stories of people who have committed suicide because they lose their money in gambling, however, gambling will still stay because it should not be blame to gambling but on the gambler's bad decision making, maybe he got caught up by his emotion after losing everything he has, I pity that boy, he doesn't realize that cannot come back anymore.

You are right! Its just too shallow if debt is the only reason why would someone do commit suicide.We dont know the whole story that he might have some other problems
like family problems and other emotionally attached type of problems which would really result into that kind of solution which it isnt really right.If its just totally
with that debt problem then its understandable that minor or young minds cant really much handle of too much emotion and stress which might really result into this.

An Indian boy, so it means this gambler is just a young man. This is the reason why young people shouldn't let to gamble, once they lose the money that was big enough for them, they will not be able to take it. He just wasted his life just because he lose in gambling. Where there is this possibility that he might have a bright future.

there's always better solution than ending your life, sad to hear that the boy choose to ends  his life than to think for other
available solutions.

Life is indeed a gift that we should value, this sad event should be a lesson to each parents out there to continue looking
for their children, gambling should be avoided especially by this young age people.

Not sure if the boy believes to that as well since he took his life already, if he does maybe he won't do that as he knows there's
nothing that will be solve if he will just reincarnate.

We can not do anything for such an immature decision from a boy who committed suicide. He is betting on IPL and obviously, he has a source of money which he can expend and he already did. If we think of it as a business then he did lose. By the way, feeling sorry for that guy but the decision was wrong. This is not everything, he has many things in his life and now everything is worthless.

No sympathy here. Obviously you should gamble only with the amount which you could afford to lose. In this case, the boy spent all his savings hoping to make a quick buck or two and that didn't worked out. Actually this shows the ineffectiveness of the regulations. Gambling is actually banned in India. But this ban has actually pushed the gambling sector underground, away from the eyes of the authorities.

I do not think gambling is the sole reason that the kid committed suicide, this might have been the catalyst for that. A public advisory to everyone feeling depression or generally loneliness, seek your local psychiatrist or talk to someone you can trust, do not do activities that elicit negative emotions like gambling where a loss can trigger regret. Your future may look bleak but if you talk to the right person, perspective will change.

That is a very sad story that young teenagers committed suicide after losing all of his money in betting.
I think he is very afraid can not repay the money to his friend, so he chooses to end his life.
If he realizes that gambling is not the way to make money, he will not do that, especially borrows the money from his friend.
It is an important lesson to us that gambling is not just affecting adult people, but it could affect young people who can not control themselves in gambling.
I hope all people can take a lesson from this, and we know what we need to do if we are playing gambling.
We can play gambling, but we need to control ourselves, and don't use too much money to gamble because the risk to lose all of the money will be there, and we don't know when our money will go.

It's also important for betting centers/sites to make this(bolded) clear. I believe people can have a change of heart when they see the  ⚠ Warning Sign: "Do not Gamble" or "Don't bet what you can't afford to lose/risk" 
Bet, but don't gamble. 
Gambling definitely has alot of consequences.

A few years ago I faced a situation where I lost a really huge amount and I was mad to myself,not thinking about suicide but thinking of how to remake the money I lost put me in a great amount of stress.I was about to fall in depression when a neighbor of mine told me,you can remake the money but you cannot recover your mind if it goes away,be strong and start over because people have had worse situations than yours.These words immediately cleared my mind and since then I only play small amounts.

I am sorry for this person who commited suicide,probably he was not as lucky as me to have found guidance in such a crucial moment of his life.

Even if there are bold signs in the betting area, I don't think it will help for those addicted gamblers as they will bet no matter what. Okay better than have none. But this is too unfortunate, youngsters really have weak EQ, they thought it is the end of their world. And most of the time, they won't ask for help or guidance for the fear that they will be beaten by their family. So for them, better end their lives. I hope it will serve a lesson to his friends, colleagues or family.

I ever very broken because of gambling, lost my motorbike, had a lot of debt, and even wanted to go to jail for stealing my neighbors' valuables, fortunately, I still have parents who advise me.  when a child experiences pressure like this, the role of parents is needed to straighten and calm that kid's mind.  sad to hear news like this, this is a harsh rebuke for the Indian government in supervising gambling in their country..

It is good to be out of that vicious circle! And stay out of it  ;) Gamble just for fun and don't overreact when losing even small amounts: I know that's where everything starts, one begins chasing losses and then ends up losing everything.
Speaking of that guy, that's a very sad story and, unfortunately, it's not one of a kind. We read that too many times.

This is really sad, especially at such a young age. I think we need to look out more for our young gamblers. Once you lose big time, it can be a downward spiral to make you lose even more. My first rule of gambling I have been using from the start is to never gamble with money I still need. We need to face the possibility to lose everything before we start gambling. So taking a loan from friends just to gamble with that money seems very risky to me. I would not want to lose a friendship because of gambling. And even if we do lose more money, it is never a reason to take out own life. We can always make back the money in the long run with honest and good work.

The one that is referred as "boy" in the OP was Raju Yadav, a 21 years old, at that age, I think he is already matured but not matured enough to control his emotion. The victim is still young, and I think most of the people who commit suicide because of gambling addiction are young people because they are not into bigger problems in life yet.

I have seen several cases of losing in gambling that ended his life in this Forum.
I think that what the Indian child did was koyol, with what he did lose gambling took a shortcut, already knew gambling, why should he force to bet.

So, my advice for others is not to be too pushy to bet, play the game as entertainment for you and never borrow / borrow from others just to place bets, play professionally.
I hope this kind of thing will not happen again to other members / communities in the future, it's a shame.

I've read an article regarding on this, it's very sorry to hear but unfortunately we can't escape the truth. Betting in sports or perform any gambling could be addictive if it control your livelihood. Much gambling involvement seduce us doing such horrible things. Also it's necessary gamble that you can afford, never bet over you property!

^ Because none of us here neither any gambler should condone such act. It is morally incorrect that because of losing in a gamble someone should end his life when there are lots of things you can do to recuperate from such a mistake and become a better person afterward. The Indian government should act in this case their law should be more strict or must be implemented all the time and these younger generations should have a better understanding of gamble in particular to the possible consequences when they got involved in this industry. Nevertheless, it is really pathetic knowing that another young kid has ended his life just because of gambling may he find peace now.

i really think it's important for every player to understand the risk of gambling i agree that it's one of the fastest way to get money but it is very risky they should assess theirselves if they could handle losses and if not better yet don't try it since something like this could happen.

People commit suicide for many reasons! Just this time we have a story about a guy who did it because gambling loss. I believe that many factors lead a person to the decision to take their own life, it's never just one thing! Yes he lost money, but if he could find support from family, love, friends, life he wouldn't take desperate measure! People commit suicide for many things, but what triggers them in the end is just a drop in the ocean, when a person become hopeless  and everywhere around is dark!
Well I think it's character, it's what you build every day, and if you are doing a right job you will know how to position yourself in relation to anything! Is it safe or dangerous, is it a vise or health... anything can kill/destroy you if you abuse it. But in the end we are all people, and we make/will make mistakes, some of them are/will be meaningless, some are/will be huge, it's life! You either learn and adapt and climb, or you don't and you go down!

Gambling by general definition is already called a high risk game, hence you'll get high reward in return.


Exactly, it will create an addiction since not every gambler can afford to lose what they are betting and are good in accepting defeat.
sometimes, a gambler thinks he is invincible so he keep betting and would not give up until he recovers his loses, which is wrong as we see in this example.
If they like to win instantly and recover their loses instantly, that's a wrong mentality, made it more risky.

Many people commit suicide because gambling destroyed one's personal life, causing them to have problems and conflicts in relationships, work, studies, and financial life. It is why they end up angry, shameful, and hopeless with their life because they already have gambled everything that they have. A person shouldn't know about gambling because it could destroy one's personal life when he considers it as a source of income without noticing it.

That's why i am always against Chasing Losses because the more we are trying to is the more we are losing and losing..
Why not just Stop when your Pocket is empty and try again next time?this is a total addiction and His parents must be aware of what their child is engaging.

But this is a Boy and he has bright future ahead,He must not commit suicide.

Those are the people that has totally no control of themselves thats why addiction takes into their system and the end is this .

As much these news saddens me as much I appreciate the government of India for banning betting overall because if gambling was legalized we might see even more such cases and really gambling can only bring problems overall, because people often say they are playing for fun but majority of them end up becoming a victim of problem gambling.

There are so many illegal ways of betting and I love bitcoins but honestly with bitcoins illegal betting has been reaching new levels as now people have got a currency that they can use and gamble and have no fear of getting caught as if they do with paypal they would get caught. Now that said, it is not just with BTC but other payment methods like Perfectmoney,etc too.

I wonder how much he lost so that he came to the conclusion that he will never earn that kind of money  ::). You cannot blame anyone else other than the individual who busted everything and then found the short way out, it is a coward move.

No thoughts to share when you see people who do not value their life, borrowing money to take care of emergency is one thing and to take a loan to gamble and that too to recover the loss is the dumbest idea.

It's depressing reading something like this, it should not happen in the first place if he has guidance from a mature gambler or his parents knows what he is doing, kids should not be allowed to gamble at a very tender age because they have no control on their emotion and they do not know how to address losing a lot of money in gambling, they thought that by chasing their losses they will eventually recover it, but it's hardly possible.

For parents to pay attention to what your children are doing, you should guide them and nourish them properly. 

He is already at the right age, he is not anymore under the parental guidance, it's just that there are really people who make huge mistakes like this. This kind of problem even resulted to banning of gambling in some countries, instead of educating their people about the risk of gambling, the government does not take time or take chances, but instead ban the gambling industry.

We have very bad history of cases like this because we have no proper system to control this all specially in developing countries gambling is ban but still many networks and systems working without any permission and license and addicted peoples losing money and lives because they reach on stage where they have no way to return when I was young I have few cases like this in our area as well its really need some stick ban and punishment those are doing without any permission.

That is just the worst. I don't know if his family is spoiling that kind of attitude of his but we should not just waste our lives because we lose a bet, we shouldn't even borrow from other people just to do that. If you can't do it, don't force it. If you really wanted it, find a way but just remember how people are struggling to earn money why you will just burn it all out in gambling.

He is already 21 he is not a child anymore, but unfortunately he do not how to stop and do not want to admit he is losing that makes him decide to not quit and chase his losses, what a way to waste your life is not the losing it's the debt that he thinks he cannot pay anymore, I don't know if he has a friend or a confidant that he can tell his problems, but this guy is out of control and lose guidance.

people that do suicide faces a great depression and if we are on thier side we will know it , we will know that what they face is not easy and they think that the best solution for this is to end thier life . gambling has really nothing to do with the situation  but its possible that gambling makes this guys condition worst   . sometimes i feel depress too and ive also come to the point of thinking horrible things like that but thankfully im still here .im courageous enough to face my problems but im not corageous enough to end my life .

He was 19 years old. It is start of the age when you are allowed to gamble. If you guys just visited the source link, you could see his age, it's mentioned in the title of the news.

Both of you talking about the boy of second news. He committed suicide last month and the reason is same as this case. In that topic I have mentioned about the boy who committed suicide recently(November 3), he is 19 year old. So he isn't a child and not mature enough as well. But betting addiction is dangerous at this age.

I think there is no other reason behind this. The boy lost all of his money in betting. Even he borrowed money for betting and lost it too. His financial condition wasn't good and he was facing pressure to give back the borrowed money. As a result he took that step.

Of course, it makes me really really worried! Things like this makes me ponder that countries which make gambling illegal are doing the right thing after all. Things like this is really hard to control. The gambling industry cannot stop this. The government's gambling regulators cannot stop this also. All they can give are warnings and pieces of advice but they cannot see the individual actions of gamblers.

This makes me think that gambling is really half evil. It is fun and could also possibly give you money but it could also take a life.

This is the problem, that he made a mistake of betting with a borrowed money. Betting is a risky, betting with money you can afford to lose is bad and betting with borrowed money is worst. This a lesson to all because maybe the money he borrowed is much and he don't have means to get it back. If he didn't borrow the morning, he won't think of taking his life.

If there could have any guidelines on not getting too much serious about gambling from the betting-platform itself then that might have saved one life by this time. I mean most gambling houses are not focusing on educating their players about the dangers of gambling addiction and this is the reason some innocent gamblers are going up to the extreme levels like risking their life itself.

Anyone can argue that is not the responsibility of gambling houses but I feel gambling houses should be enforced to that mandatory so that gamblers will start realizing what they're actually doing. Only when there should be some initiative against gambling addictions, the chances of making gamblers aware of dangers of gambling addiction will be possible.

You should really be responsible in the first place because you wouldn't know on what would hit you next if you do make out some careless decision.

Why would take up some loan if you know that you cant pay it back by other means? if you do look for gambling to be the only solution then you are just simply like putting up a gun
into your own head.

Its never been a viable choice to make gambling as a source of income or just trying to make up some bets just to repay some debts yet high chances that the problem would
make it worst and now it did really result into loss of life which isn't really worth of.

Arguably he had an immature mind and emotions if this was the conclusion and process, its better to bet small and frequently then rest on big wins which can go wrong more easily then consideration over time and with the experience of previous betting.    Never stack into loses, definitely a common mistake and not the last time I'll read of similar unfortunately.

There are even bigger problems aside from gambling that leads to that boy do the wrong way. There is also a big reason why the boy does gambling. I believed it's not that he is really a gambling addict 100%. Since if he is a gambling addict, betting in IPL should already his main forte' to the point that even in a big loss, he should able to handle it.

We can't just say that don't bet on the amount we afford to lose. Can we determine how much the exact figure should be? The good practice is while experiencing losses, try to be a responsible gambler along the way.

Such incidents are really painful.  There will be winners and losers in the game. And for this reason, I have never heard of anyone committing suicide.  The issue here is different, because the boy did not commit suicide to lose the match.  The boy committed suicide to lose a lot of money by gambling.  Cricket gambling has been around for a long time. But before that it was limited to a few rich people.  But now it has spread everywhere in the villages, cities and ports.  And many people are getting lost in this cricket gamble.  So from now on we should think a little deeper about these issues.  And refrain from gambling in this cricket.

According to the source he's only 19 years old so there's nothing that would stop him from gambling. I guess the bet was done illegally or through online since gambling is very limited in India.

I doubt the gambling sites could do something about it since the gamblers could easily ignore those guidelines.

There are some counseling or reminders for some gambling sites online about addiction neither they do give out some websites that might able to help you out into your addiction.
There are guidelines and warnings about potential addiction but this cant really be controlled by the house itself because it all matters in ones decision on how he handle up himself
towards it.It is just some people cant control up their emotions which would really result into suicide and just like what others said where the boy must have some existing problem
aside on losing a bet from gambling because thinking of that committing suicide just because you had debt isnt a valid reason.

What's so much to a 19 year old boy losing in a bet? what the hell is happening to the world ?! I could have understand it if he sold his house, bet and lost but it was not. I'm sure it is not just about the gambling at all, I mean losing might be the missing link for him to trigger something he thought he wanted but I'm sure that was not just the reason why he did that, and he can't bare with it unfortunately.

I dont like it at all. The situation of the people who involves trading is the same. They do not afford to lose, especially with the money that does not belong to them. Why the heck people borrow money to gamble or to trade? This is a pity story and I feel sad about it. If his friends and family realized everything sooner, it would not turn into this way. They shouldn't let him borrowed the money. Too much for this guy. He had walk into a wrong path

As far as I know, gambling was somehow prohibit in India. He has to gamble on some illegal website or some cryptocurrency casinos

The article doesn't share much information apart from a few names of his room mates. I wanted to know why he was gambling and if I am not mistaken gambling in not allowed in India so how was he even gambling? If he was making bets with his friends then there was no need to take this extreme step as he can always ask them to wait while he earns some money. Suicide doesn't help anyone to be honest, his family will suffer and even the people whom he owe will suffer for whom I don't feel bad though.

I wish there was an organization where people can be educated that life is priceless and if you are wasting it for money then you have a wrong mindset. Imagine how much a rich guy would pay to get his life back? $1 billion? Maybe even more!

I feel very bad when I see news like this. I think that this shows how dangerous betting with huge amount can be. Especially if you don't have much money, it is not logical to risk all of your money. Because when you lose, there is no way of recovering it unless you borrow money from somebody. Borrowing money from somebody to make bet is not a cool act too. I'm really sorry for this boy. I hope that other people who is betting like this take lessons from this incident and we won't see these kind of incidents happen again.

No I can't reach the page, I get this message :
So thank you for telling me the information. 19 is very very young, I'm sad for his family

As i said many times before here - gambling can be very dangerous thing. Maybe it will sounds some cynically , bus such outcome it at least good enough in terms that this guy just killed himself. It could be much worse if he would take a knife and behead his friend or his grandma to take more money on this shit. (I know enough real stories about such cases)

Just don't loose your head in such things and do not play more than you can afford yourself to loose.

That's how dangerous having addiction to gambling you ain't going to push that hard to the point that you'll barrow money from your
friends and use it and play back thinking that you'll be able to recover your money.

Very bad that the boy can't handle the pressure a he needed to face he's friends without any money to pay he's lend. This case is really
happening so better to watch closer with your kids especially those who already known this vice.

Not saying that its better to kill himself but i do agree on what you had explained that rather than killing other or loved ones due to stress and anger or being too emotional.
People cant really handle out some stress for sometimes and since this is just a kid or a minor then you would expect that he arent really that mature enough to realize up
things but instead he do resolved it out directly on making some suicide to think that it will be all over and he wont really be asked out for some repayment but he do think
that it would be over? No, because the people whom he took some loan will surely go after to his parents and ask out on what he do owe.So its just a similar story if he
had just tell his parents that he had took some loan then he might able to resolve it out.

That is a sad story right there, that boy hasn't live his life to the fullest yet it just took him a mere seconds to end his life. I can't blame the booy though since he lost the money first but risking it to play in gambling is something that the boy didn't understand at all. Desperate time calls for desperate move, I think either way the boy knew already what are the results if he won't bring back the money so that's why he risk doing it anyway, what an unfortunate circumstances.

How old is the young victim? Is he 18+
However, it had been warned several times by betting agencies to stop teenagers in Betting system, he is still a young teenager below 18 I think, so it hard to resist the pressure that comes after the loss adding to the ones he is owing, that's while is advisable to stop borrowing money to bet. These cases are meant to happen and it can't be stopped at any given point in time. Similar cases
had happened in my country uncountable times so it hard to stop this except for the fact that you keep advising younger ones to avoid betting at their tender age.

Is not betting that got him killed to me, it's his bad risk and bad money management strategy. I say this because, there are many ways to incure debts and more debts and not just bettings. Some persons have been known to invest in projects that turns out to be a scam with both their personal finds and borrowed money. That's a debt right there! Some traders trade with people's invested capital and ends up loosing all of it, that's also a debt right there!

So, it is a matter of how do you evaluate risk and manage the money at your disposal. You should never risk more than you can afford to loose and so, borrowing money to risk it in a high probability investment is you already failing because, you've broken the first rule of not investing more than you can afford to loose already. It feels sick that people do this (Borrow and subject to high risk). It's just sad it had to end this way for the desaesed.

Being a resident of India, I have to point out that gambling is illegal here (with the exception of the state of Goa). This ban also covers online gambling. So don't expect any help from the law enforcement authorities, as in their view the individual was indulging in a banned activity. And secondly, you should not gamble, if you don't know when you should stop. There should be a strict stop-loss target, that should be kept in mind.

A boy betting serious amount of money on IPL. It's clearly government's fault, government shouldn't allow teenagers to gamble if they allow then we will see more cases like this all over the world. Parents should also take care of their childrens.

Why should we all blame this on the government? I don't know the age limit in their country but all I know is that people should be responsible for their vices, it is not that the government can't control all of the people in their country. This is just sad but we can't just point it all out on the government as this is all the kid's decision and can't bear that he lost.

this is too tragic. he is too young to die. gambling can really bring the worst of oneself. that is why I understand why governments tend to ban gambling(of course money laundering and other illegal activities are one of the reasons too) and even implement strict to extreme measures or punishment in order for their citizen to stop gambling or prevent them from gambling.

theres always people that will blame everything to the government and i find that funny because when i say everything , that include things that are verry far or the government has nothing to do with . on age restriction in gambling , why not blame the gambling operator instead of the government because gambling operators are the ones that make it possible but i dont mean that . i was only using it as a sample to show the connection between gambling and governments .

its still the responsibility of the bettor and not by the gambling owners. not just under age but on any age suicidal can happen .

This is truly unfortunate.
That is why I believe the talk about gambling should be open and discussed. I know that in many countries like India, it is considered something that is untouchable and shouldn't be talked about with kids and teens whereas at the same time at every corner you will find old people gambling and Drinking.
People do have to learn the idea of Responsible gambling, asking for help , discussing. Gambling by itself is not a bad sport but with time and unfortunate habits one can destroy themselves.

- Always gamble responsibly
- Never take such extreme step even if you loose a lot , money can be earned back , not your life.
- Seek help
- talk with your friends and Family members about Addiction.

This is extremely important that we do know that with gambling comes responsibility and thus it would be better if we can share positive attributes with the community and our families at the same time look out for negative points.

You have done a good job posting it here and raising awareness about gambling only with the amount we can afford to lose.
Even I advice this thing to everybody whenever I get the opportunity that gambling is very addictive.
We shouldn't gamble frequently as it can force us to borrow money from others for gambling.
Once we start doing that, we end up being financially broke. Not everyone is lucky enough to grab a fortune in gambling.
So it's always better to only gamble with the amount we can afford to lose. At least it will not lead to giving up your life.

I consider this gambler an extreme gambler, no way you will take a loan and chase your losses, the poor guy is out of control, this is not an isolated case, there are unreported cases like this happening in countries where gambling are legal.

The moral of the story is make a line that will divide you from becoming an extreme gambler and educate yourself on the risk of being out of control, and if you have a friend who acts like that guide him and show him the right path to recovery from becoming an extreme gambler.

 

One can easily get into addiction. To be a strong gambler he/she needs the mind to accept loss and take break. Most of the time gamblers end their lives for mistakes that weren't planned. Whether it is gambling or something else, everything has got its limit. We need to stand within the limit to be on the safer side.

Most of the time suicide is done by gamblers when they spend the money for living into gambling. When the entire amount is lost, for the next days meal he don't have answer. So, at any circumstances one should not spend the amount allocated for living needs into gambling.

Feel sorry for him. He is just too young to end his life this way.
His friends must have been bugging him about the money he owes. I have experienced taking a loan and have not paid on time with interest, a friendship was broken after it. WE still are friends but not what it used to be.

Bad choices often lead to another bad choice. He committed a mistake by gambling money he doesn't own and then commits another by killing himself.  

I really felt bad reading this kind of news. Gambling is actually originated for entertainment only but it's really a sad thing that it's now even taking lives. I think that's the reason why we have to take control of our emotions in gambling. We should know our limits and just bet what we could afford to lose. Borrowing money just to continue playing isn't really a good idea because it has lots of risks since there's no guarantee of winning. I just hope that the boy who committed suicide has been wise so things won't get worse for him.

We never know how much the amount he is in debt, but even small amount can cause people to be depressed especially when they are doing it without parents support and not on his own money so this is why it is important to bet on our money so we can face the consequences even if we lose it because its our money so we know how to earn them.

Really sad, RIP to this young boy only 19 year old and now engage heavily in gambling he should go to school at his young age and not doing gambling and the worst is the money is from his friends thats why he decided to end his life out of pressure and fear he might face if he tell it to his friends but after-all its only a money he can earn it in due time and can pay his friends not committing suicide.  

This is the saddest part of playing gambling. There are no restrictions when it comes on playing gambling. Anyone are allowed to play even the kids can play and also the old ones most especially in the countries like Philippines. Gambling here in PH is is legal that's why the authorities are having a hard to chase those gambling lord which also a drug lord sometimes.

What I was afraid of was that this kid who committed suicide was under pressure from friend who loans money to him...
as a parent I am very sick reading this news, I can't imagine what will happen to me if my child does something like this. I will continue to support my child and will always ask how he is every day so that he does not experience this kind of pressure.

Sad news but this is happening anywhere in the world. As a gambler we should always set and know our limits, gambling is not a profession and its not for everyone. Losing in gambling really hurts most especially if you gamble all your means, it could be a catalyst to depression.

Indeed, he's still young that he can't manage his emotion being in that situation wherein he should not be in the first place. It's a lesson that we should not chase our losses because the more we keep chasing it, the more we get dragged to it. Also, ending your life won't solve the problem, it will just add and give more burden to the people around you.

His situation was too heavy for him to handle, and it's just sad to think that he could have enjoyed his life since he's still young, if he did not get so addicted to gambling at this age.

One of the cons when you do let yourself do fall into the verge of addiction where you cant able to think that well on how things should go but instead you do decide to end up your

life for you to solve out everything which its just a really bad decision to make and its true that you might able to resolve your problem but to think that all of your loved ones left

will really be having a problem not only on emotional aspect but also into financial yet burial does cost expense unless if you do belong to a wealthy family then it wont matter
but if not then that would be an another problem created.

This is why we should really be careful on dealing with gambling yet it can mess out someones life.

This is just a proof that gambling influences much the humans. We affected much by the losses that we bet in gambling. That is why we should moderate our bets because gambling is made not for us to win but for us to lose. It is sad that he ended his life because of losing money with his bets. He never think that he can recover it when time comes and he gets luck. In playing gambling, we must conquer our emotions and fear of losing. Having beaten in gambling is normal, remember that we play it only for fun.

This is one of many suicide incidents with regards to gambling especially those who are drowning into debt because of this gambling addiction but in my surprise, this is just a young boy who are already addicted to gambling something is wrong with this one. If you can’t control your emotion then stop gambling now before you ended up like this, this is another sad story of gambling.

The news of suicide because of experiencing losses due to gambling is indeed worried, because it turns out that there are still many
who cannot accept losses when playing gambling. Even though when you first decided to play gambling, you already knew that there
were two possibilities, losing or winning. So don't just expect to win in gambling, we also have to be mentally prepared when we lose.
People who commit suicide usually do not accept defeat, therefore they are shocked when they experience defeat and take shortcuts
to solve the problem by committing suicide. This is the importance of education in gambling, especially for newbies or gamblers who
are not yet mature, so this doesn't happen again.

The mistake that he made is borrowed the money from his friend after he lost all his money. If at that time, he can stop gambling after the losses and not borrow the money, I think he will not think about suicide. That is the danger of borrowing the money from other people that will be used for playing gambling because we never know if we can win or lose all of the money in the next minute. It is better to save ourselves before everything becomes worst. I hope we don't follow what he did, especially borrow money from other people to gamble.

If he wagered with his own money, there was a chance that he would not kill himself because he was betting with his own money and would only make him regret it.
It seems like he is feeling pressure from his friends and distress because he is confused about having to pay his debt to gamble maybe a large amount and it seems that there have been many reports of people committing suicide due to debt for different reasons and stories, and it is very concerning.

Even if he didn't borrow money from his friends it seems like it's bound to happen since he's losing money and it was mentioned in the source that his financial situation isn't great. Then again it's hard to tell what would've happen next since he could've been struggling with other things too and maybe that last big loss he had was the icing on the cake that made him pull the trigger.

This is horrible if indeed it was a confirmed suicide but I think the possibility is huge that it was, the young lad couldn't handle the pressure and I think that's really a huge amount of money he lent from his friends that he done this.

The question is how much the money his friends lent and why would they allow him to lend if it's huge and if he can't afford to pay that. Well, the thing has happened already he just can't face what he should face what a poor and young soul he should have asked for help rather taking his life that easily. Hope this is an eye-opener to all gamblers out there new or old.

Now there will be the knee-jerk reaction from the government. They will blame online gambling for the death, and will try to block all the gambling sites. This is just ridiculous, as the death had nothing to do with online gambling. Addiction to gambling and inability to stick to the stop-loss caused the death of this individual, and not the access to online gambling sites.

This is not a Boy mate so the title seems misleading because the Involved is a 21 year Male(unless what you mean by BOY is MAN or MALE)
What?the online gambling site is the one who blamed by this ?damn Gambling is addicting so the government must have advertisements regarding the matter and don't blame the whole association.

and besides this is isolated case and just being sensually advertised to favor Media and news outlet but the truth is?
this same case happening in other country and much younger is the involved .

How can a 21 year old be called a "boy"?

He is a 21 year old man who knows what is right and what is wrong, he took a chance which according to me was a stupidest idea and lost everything. After that he should have stopped but he went ahead borrowed money from others and again lost it.

He not only destroyed himself but those who had lend him the money they are also now suffering the loss because of his stupidity.

I do not have any sympathy for such moron.

Man this is very heartbreaking.

What happened to this poor person parallels the reality of gambling in the whole world. Lots of people commit suicide every year as mostly suffer from depression and other mental problems. In addition, most gamblers that seek money in gambling are also drowned in financial debts. If you view gambling as a source of income, chances are that you would most likely be financially unstable.

Relying on something that is highly and very unpredictable results to an unpredictable conclusion as well. Please I beg everyone who is in the same situation, seek for help from your peers and family members.

I can't stop wondering how his friends are willing to lend money to doubters and how the dead man promised bail?

I also live in an environment where traditional gamblers can be found. In order to lend to gamblers, I had to think several times. I don't really care if they die from gambling in the end, but I care more if nobody returns my money. As people who are aware of the risks of gambling, we should do our best to prevent people from borrowing money for gambling.

I think it is the reason why mental health in gambling is really a matter because there are persons that can considered as suicidal whenever they lose money in gambling. This is not the first time that I heard this some kind of news because in the past there are many people who committed suicide just because they lose money in gambling. I'm so sad to read the news about a boy committed suicide just because he lose bet in IPL :(. Our lives are more important than money and for sure that he cannot handle the stress and the frustration that made him to do a suicide.

Traditional gambling are sucks .. you know you can't get out of that deadly circle unless if you completely lost everything , that time you are allowed to leave free lol this is the general rules , better you gamble online while nobody threatening you  .. nobody feel ashamed and things a little better in the online betting i guess. God damn poor boy , 19 years old ... he should have a bright future still despite this huge loss .

Sometimes when your friend has a sign of feeling desperate, depressed , you as a friend should keep your waffling away. One word that offends this depressed person it could decide whether is he gonna survive or choose a shortcut way to die. I would be careful on what I'm saying, life isn't that cheap to say 'I don't really care if they die from gambling in the end'
I have been in that kind dark situation where all my business went in bankruptcy. A word can decide a life.

You guys haven't visited the Source (https://cricket.yahoo.net/news/hyderabad-19-old-dies-suicide-025113659) link of my post. As the source news doesn't contain much information about this case, you can check this news After losing money in IPL betting, 19-year-old ends life (https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/hyderabad/hyderabad-after-losing-money-in-ipl-betting-19-year-old-ends-life-6963376)

I have answered about it (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5286908.msg55533277#msg55533277) to few people before. And I know there is difference between age 19 and 21. Few guys also replied here that his parents should realise the condition of this boy and counsel him. Actually he was a migrant worker and living away from his home.

This might be a new occurance but its very much not a new story. It feels sad that things like this still occur or most persons still see death through suicide or any other means as the easy way out to get out of a debth owed or to end their misfortune. This ought not to be so should you have a managerial skill that helps you to determine the probility of a success before taking any risk. If you come to trading, there are lots of tools and instruments fnaor evaluation such as the fibunachi, indicators and all that, bets have got non of this but we've got prediction sites, your own sentiments and a rule that says, 'risk only what you can afford to loose'. So why risk everything, bets is been made for over 18 years and above meaning adults but sadly, not many grow in sense and appreciate life the way it is. The mentality of life for debts is just wrong. Too bad!

Even if I have money I will never lend money to my friends who are very much into gambling, it's either they will not pay or they cannot pay because even when they win they are not going to pay, they have losses to recover and they always in need of money.
So even if a friend cursed me I will not lend him, what happened to this boy might happen to him and it will be on me.

This is one incident which is being reported. I am sure there will be many more cases where people might have committed  suicide or have become very much hopeless on losing bets. People in most of the asian countries try to change their fate by participating in betting but mostly end up losing their valuables and lives.

This is really sad to know. We never know how much needy he might be that he took loan to make the bet and then loses his life. Obviously he would not have money to pay back the loan and there could be possibilities that he may have other loans to pay also.

This is the moral responsibility of the rich people of our society to take care of the financial issues of the poors who are living hand to mouth so that people are not forced to take such extreme steps.

People are gambling at a very young age because they do not have proper guidance and second they see it as a way to escape poverty, they won big amount of money when they are starting out and they want to push their luck and they lured to it, until they cannot escape anymore and they want to chase their losses and hit the jackpot, which will never come.

There's a story behind to that little boy's tragedy. I bet he stole that money from his parents, and hoping to win and will return the money once it happened, but what occurred was the other way around. Therefore he borrowed money from his friends but sadly same thing happened. Well this is just my hunch about this news.

Sometimes family background is the main reason of most suicides that is happening all around the globe. It's either the kid is trying to be a rebel or trying to take his parents attention towards him if he'll do something crazy, which is playing gambling. Suddenly cliff hangers appeared and the kid's life seems too cloudy for himself so he ended it up to eradicate his sufferings.

21 years old is enough to handle His decision so why need the government threaten to close or go against the Gambling Online?
this man has his own mind and own Life never blame the gambling community because of what he does.
If there is someone to blame for this suicide is His family because other than everything they are the one who must always check and update their Son.
and so the addiction wont come to his end as bad like that.

I am also feeling really sad about this all but this is happening in devleoping counties very usually and in developed countries also because gambling is really worst thing for our society but now its emerged very badly and we have nothing alternative for this so just need to give some education to kids about this all and keep eye on their activities.
This is really good that rich peoples take some responsibility but in gambling its never been good because its really addiction and its killing us very badly without recoverable doze.

That is why before we take part in any gambling activity, we should have a conditioned mind first, a mind that is strong enough to handle big losses and a mind that is disciplined enough to accept that not every day we are lucky. I could imagine the Indian boy might be already problematic and he relies all his hope on gambling.

This could be prevented if, in the first place, we know the risk and potential of gambling. In short, we understand it. If not, we should make sure that there will be someone for us to remind us that we are already exceeding limitations. Remember, people are getting bankrupted in gambling, could not afford to pay depth and the main reason is that, they could not properly assess and budget their funds.

As far as I know, he is 19, and even though he is at that legal age, I think he is still young to make those decisions, and the fact that it led here, that he committed suicide means he can't still take responsibility for his decision, that he can't still take the consequences for that decision he made. That is important as a gambler.

Usually the only treatment for gambling addiction is counseling. But the problem in India is that all forms of gambling are banned and anyone caught gambling may face criminal prosecution (although it is rarely implemented). The ban on gambling has pushed the industry underground, in to the hands of the mafia. Identifying the gamblers becomes extremely risky as a result of this. And this makes providing counseling to addicts almost impossible.

What a sad end of his life for no reason. 19 years old is old enough to make a decision but there is one reason I suspected him why he commits suicide and it is because of the debts that he can't able to pay. I heard the story and he also ends his life.
Quite to say that there are some people who'll think bad for themselves, in fact, there is another way or solution without harming ourselves.
This might caught the attention of the parents especially when they know that one of their family members involve in gambling. They'll have to take action immediately before addiction will happen and able to commit debts.

Honestly, it does affect me and make me worried in a way. You're right, this is not new but everytime I hear news like this, I just feel sad. Apart from the fact that people should just gamble with money the can afford to lose, people should also bear in mind that losing is not the end and taking his life because of it is not justifiable either.

I'm not in his shoes, I know. But for others who think that suicide is the solution for their money problems, it's not. Think twice before committing such act. There are other ways of earning or paying a debt. Easier said that done, but possible.

Those gamblers who think to escape poverty is though gambling should be tested for possible critical health issue, i mean; if anyone with the right sense think about this. Most of this happenings are attributed to gamblers greed, this mostly is associated with gamblers except some very few ones with self control. When greed step into a gamblers life, then forget their thinking as they will be thinking outside the box of good reasoning.

Your statement is factually inaccurate. There is no legal age for gambling in India, because gambling itself is illegal there. It doesn't matter whether you are 15 years or 35 years. Apart from one state, gambling is banned across India. None of the online gambling sites are based in India and they are mostly operating from the Caribbean nations or other small territories. So it will be very difficult for the authorities to take any legal action against them.

Even if he is 21 years old, it doesn't mean that he can handle his decision like that. Playing gambling can tempt people to continue the next rounds without stopping, no matter if that is an adult or young person because gambling doesn't care about that. If that person is really desperate about what he got in gambling, he can suicide because he can not found a way out to solve his problem. In the end, he will suicide like what we read. It is a serious matter that every people who are playing gambling faces, and we must know how to avoid that, especially if we are addicting a person to gambling.

He was too young to experience that situation and the burden of being in debt with his friend that he knew he can't pay. But he did not actually solve his problem, he just tried to escape it by ending his life, now, his family has to carry the problem.

Excessive gambling can give such a lot of problems but ending our life will never be the solution to it. As a gambler, you choose to gamble so you should be responsible for it. But we can't undo what happened, this will just serve as a lesson to us.

Suicide is not a correct way for anything in our life most of the time we are getting sad only more than happiness pictures life is always about to cross some failures I think we need to made the conference for the future this is the only option available when lossing the money.

Yes he is, that is the worst thing that can be happen anyone of us, if we are being not ready with our emotion icne we encounter such losses. We should learn to accept failures, losses and defeats for us to grown and become wiser. I hope there will be someone who advises him and comfort him when he felt that emotion. he can do more even he lost money. So as a player keep in mind mate that being emotional in gambling can really affects us.

Majority of people who are engage with gambling they are that kind of solo ones which they dont really much attached to other people on what are the things that they've been doing.

and when unfortunate events do happen then they do tend to solo it and that what makes more stressful which would really create that emotion in you on where you do think into some things

like committing suicide specially if you do know that you are playing and lost a loaned or borrowed money then that would amplify even more on what you felt on that time.
In result? high chances that you would really end up on this situation unless if you are really well on handling up your emotion then you wouldnt really care.

Some people commit suicide because of gambling, some - because of bank loans, because of losing loved ones, broken relationships, because of study in school (yeah, I know cases when child committed suicide because he didn't want to study and was getting bad marks at school). There are still so many different reasons.

This fact is very bad but it doesn't mean that gambling kills. No, our problem is that we blame others for our actions while the root of the problem lies in us. You kill yourself because you created the problem, you gambled the money that you couldn't afford, you took the loan that you couldn't afford to pay back...
That fact is sad, hope casinos will seriously support responsible gambling campaign, I think this should be like a rule for everyone to enlighten our people around gambling and it's pros and cons.

What a tragic incident. He's still a boy for his age of 19 and that's why he thought that doing things such as borrowing money for recovery with his losses is the right thing to do. Things like this are unstoppable but I hope that the new gamblers are responsible enough to read terrible incidents like this so that they can have an idea what they should do when they are betting all of their money. I wish that it won't be followed by another news like this.  :-\

If that is the case then I think they needed to talk to that online gambling site about this. They can't just tell that they needed to ban their site in their country, I guess they have to do other things too like censoring these kinds of sites in which case they could just use a VPN. I think they can talk to the country where they are legalized? It is banned in India, and the fact that someone already died, needed to be dealt with.

This is sad news in gambling industry. We should remember that we shouldn't borrow money from others just to gamble or try to recover our losses. If we think gambling is the only way to earn money, we should change that and ask for the help of others about financial matters rather than ending with this.

The temptation of chasing the losses is very hard to overcome. Sometimes people don't want to admit that luck is not on their side. This is the reason why I maintain strict limits in gambling. If I loss more than a certain amount, then I will just quit, rather than trying to make up for those losses. And in my opinion, if people are not able to do this then they should not gamble.

Agreed 100%. Greed always cause downfall. Even among my friend circle, I know a few people who lost everything as a result of gambling addiction. When they win small amounts in the beginning, they will get addicted to it. But then if they are unlucky, they will start losing consecutively and in the end they will be forced to take loans in order to cover their gambling habit.

Problem with this heavy gamblers they don't know how to accept their failures, they are keep trying to recover as they've thinking that given a chance they will have a good luck and everything will turned into their favor.

But with that mindsets, instead of coping up and recover they'll never noticed that everything are falling apart, most of the time it ain't favoring them and the outcome burned everything.

Very sad news indeed! May his soul rest in peace!

He shouldn't have taken this extreme step but we never know what mental agony he was suffering from. If he talked to a friend, and expelled out his frustration, maybe the pressure would have been less.

No matter what happens in life, suicide is never a solution. I don't really want to make this case as an example for why we should limit our gambling, because even if a person loses big amount, there's still hope. Money can be earnt back, life is too precious.

On another note, indeed it's very deadly to borrow money for gambling because it can have disastrous consequences like pressure, mental agony, harassment etc. Best is to either play with own money or not gamble at all!

Actually he did already but of course not right way of handling.
So if they doesnt care then why we would care for them?simple logic mate.
a problem must not be solved by another problem.
But isolated cases right?there is no record that Suicide about losing in gambling happens everyday worldwide so this means it must not be taking so serious in a way that gambling site must be closed.

This is a very sad story.. definitely makes you rethink some moves .. heh

Anxioq

There is a saying "Your age does not define your maturity", this case is just an example that the saying is true. Even older people may not be able to handle a similar situation. For sure big financial loss due to gambling is a hard situation to handle, this is why there is another saying "gambling responsibly". We have seen many similar cases in this gambling world, where some people cant accept losses then start crying out loud. It is gambler's own mistake once they face financial loss while he cant handle it wisely. Lesson learned to everyone.

The best thing one can do when they have such thoughts is to calm down, recall the best and happiest moments of your life. I don't like to discuss my private life on a public forum but I have went through such times in past and I even attempted to suicide when I lost everything and my parents denied to help me not because they don't love me or care for me but because I actually lose everything for them too. What helped me during that time was realizing my best memories and understanding that if I can leave my addiction (I don't want to disclose that) and put my head into the right job and work hard I can actually repay everything.

At times we value our life too cheaply and I can proudly say that I went through that time but because of my self belief and inner strength I was able to overcome, I feel bad for the boy who suicide for some money but trust me anyone who might have such thoughts please understand "suicide is not the best choice" it is the last choice, so work hard and believe me times will change.

You will commit double jeopardy if you try to gamble using money coming from loan, gambling has no guaranty even if you are a good gambler, there's no guaranty that when you sit down and bet you have a good chance to win, it's always even for the house and for the gambler, so you are at a lost before the start of the game.

If many younger people can read that story, they can get the lesson from that, so they don't have to be like that.

At least, we can suggest to them not to be like that. If they don't want to hear, then that will be up to them. Maybe you don't want to care about them because they are nobody for you. But trust me, if you can give something to them, whether they agree or not, you do a good thing.

I agree with you. But we can not imagine what if that happens to us, maybe we will do the same because we will think that is a dead-end.

I don't know about that. Maybe the suicide case is not open to the public, so we only guess without knowing the truth.

That alone will probably not help. I think if you add some real images and stories of tragic consequences of gambling in betting centers, (with informations on how to avoid/prevent/treat it) that can help greatly. The betting centers have to ensure that customers don't risk too much money (& time) they can't afford to lose

Its not an unusual story. I heard the same problem of gambler who lose everything in gambling and desperate to recover it back but with no luck he did such kind of thing. Why would you borrow money just to gamble? Knowing that its a risky thing and likely to lose that money.

Its sad that some people are not thinking before committing suicide, they thought its the solution for their problem. Depression, stress and unable to talk to someone about their situation are some of the reasons why they chose to end their life.

I also want to criticize people who pressurize others to pay the debts and loans because if the person you lent money suicides not only you live with a sin for the rest of your life but you also lose the money he might have paid back the money slowly. There are people who will create pressure and traumatize others to pay their debt but never understand what the other person is going through.

I remember an incident where a person near our house had a big loan from someone who was into illegal activities and he caused so much stress that he was forced to suicide but what followed was very shocking, he left a suicide note and mentioned everything about the criminal who lent him money and he was actually caught, all his illegal activities were seized and he was sentenced for many years.

These are the people who are not really living their life and are easily pursuade by their problems. There's a need to limit gambling in countries that have high number of issues or cases of suicide due to gambling or atleast there will be institutions that will help them improve their self. Gambling is not for people who have low self esteem or believe in themselves as they can easily think of killing themselves than finding real ways to solve their problems. We must be responsible in our action always.

I think why most of the gamblers who are in great debt tend to own his problem without telling others is because they probably don't want others to think that they are losers. Or like, even if they tell others, they still won't be able to pay it off, especially like this boy who is still a teenager.

Not being able to handle this kind of situation can lead to bigger stress or even depression that is why we have been hearing numerous stories of people destroying or trying to end their life because of gambling.

gambling should be really just for the adult this young man took his own life over gambling a 19 years old is still a young mind and most of the casinos out there are accepting 18   years old players well we can say that some can handle that but not all something like this 19 years old gambler. we should really be aware that gambling will not just damage us financially but also mentally if we can't handle them well.

This is the saddest part of being a gambler. When you are already an addict you will play as long as you have money to spend until nothing's left. And when you're done spending all of your money, you will feel feel sad and guilty for what you did. You will think that there are still chances for you to win so you will lend money to others or sell your things in order for you to back in track but when you are still experiencing loses, that triggers your depression.

You are right and actually loaning and gambling are often linked together because like you mentioned gamblers often take loans and borrow money in hope to win more and pay back everything.

gambling must be done with the money you have in spare or can afford to lose so that once you lose it you don't have the added challenge to recover them back, I do not know why people even gamble with money they need to desperately that they later have to take loans and pay back.

In case someone has lost what he could not afford to lose still there are better ways of paying back by working extra hours and save more because life is precious or I maybe say priceless and monetary situation should never be so much that you end it.

People should really be aware into their actions because this will really neither create a solution or most of the time some problem into you and every decision made will have expected consequences.
You would really get depressed if you do let yourself fall into the pit of addiction and as said that we shouldnt let our emotion control us because it will really lead into something if not being controlled.
This isnt only happening but this is also a global problem on where there are several gamblers who do end up into this conclusion just because they think that theres no other options left.

This is why we should only gamble and invest what we could afford to lose.
We should be aware of the risk of our own actions it is a real pity that they would end their life because of money.
We could earn it back we could right what has been wronged but when you choose to end it all you just spread put all of your suffering to the ones who love and cares for you.

In essence, if gambling has become a place to make money, I am sure that various problem will arise in life. There are many example that have been expressed by many that a person who cant accept defeat at gambling risk ending his life. What happen to Indian boy, in my opinion, is not the only evidence that gambling has a negative impact on behavior and how to solve problem. I think it will be felt by those who are very addicted to gambling and can't just quit even if they don't have money.

Gambling should be done responsibly, and is in no way recommended as a place to make money. People spend their money and time gambling mostly to get more money, I have no doubt about this. But in fact we were wrong and should be gambling just for fun. I really wanted to quit gambling because I was spending too much money each week on this, but I was just going to try to quit little by little so that the addiction eventually went away.

There are still many people who think that playing gambling is a way to make money, even though this assumption is wrong.
In my opinion, playing gambling is only for entertainment, because gambling was created so that many people suffer losses.
If you look at statistics we can see that the percentage of those who experience losses in gambling is much greater than those who win.
So playing gambling should be better with money that we can afford to lose, so when you experience a loss it won't stress you out.
Especially playing gambling with borrowed money, if you experience a loss it will make us depressed and if we are mentally weak,
then what happens can decide to commit suicide.

Had been told for a million times when it comes on that famous line "gamble on the amounts that you can afford to lose" but people do always do go overboard.

and in result then it do create complicated problems like on debt, addiction, family problem, financial problem and all sorts that will mainly affected if you do let
things as it should be.

Suicide isn't a solution but for those who are stressed then this will be the most quick and easiest one without minding on solving it out
on the proper way.

We can't blame the lenders if they are losing patience for the payment of the borrower. If it's already too much from the given due date, it only means that a borrower isn't that responsible enough to take debts. We also have to understand the situation of the lenders because the fact that they have lent money, they are giving you the trust that soon you'll pay. Just be a responsible gambler and borrower but the best is don't take loans for the purpose of gambling.

Terrible news to read, horrific things happen in the background and I don't support activities promoting the gambling ads on TV, boards. If the gambler is an irresponsible person, preventing himself from all kinds of gambling involved activities will not let that person accept the life-changing decisions. The close circle of that person has to convince him to not borrow money from the lender for chasing the losses.

This thing is avoidable if there's someone beside him advise on what other things needed to do to avoid those possible losses and be away for that addiction. But since the incident happen maybe this is a lesson for all the gamblers to avoid betting all their money and don't come up borrowing money to continue your vices, since it's really stressful and a big shame to tell other what happened to our money.

If only he has enough people to guide him he wouldn't have taken his life he wouldn't have ruined it at the first place.
I also had trouble in gambling but my friends help me to forget gambling and focus on other things to make my life better.
Now reading this kind of things make me so thankful for all the people who help me back then.

Indeed, we should know how to limit ourselves, because too much in everything will only give us misfortune and tragedy. Every player or gambler needs to take care for their emotion it should be handled correctly, too much losses is really depressing he become addicted to it. I don't know if there will be other problem aside from gambling, it is too hard to accept that he don't have any support system that he can talk to.

I agree with what you are saying. But here in India, it is not that easy. Since gambling is illegal, the users are forced to remain anonymous. Even if they gets cheated, or in case they need counseling, the gamblers are very hesitant to come out in the open. And this makes it very difficult for us to help them, even if they are in trouble. At least this case was publicized. There may be hundreds of other cases, that are not covered by the media.

Here in my country also, gambling is illegal but there are a lot of gamblers that are really hard headed. They don't care about the law and they don't care if they will be put inside the jail if ever they caught by the authorities. But those Elitists who's managing the gambling games are anonymous in order for them to be safe from the authorities. They are hiring low profile people to work for them and recruit gamblers to play.

^ Another sad story of those who gamble but was not able to manage the consequence of losing. It is not new to us about those who commit suicide because of gambling that they lose control in placing bets and left nothing to them but debt. We cannot assume if the Indian boy is still below the age that is legally allowed in their country to gamble or we are not aware of the fact if he gambled in a licensed gambling platform so we cannot put the blame on anyone for the tragic end of the boy. All the government around the globe has their regulations about gambling and I am pretty sure that no parent will give no advice to their child about gambling and the possible effect if we got involved in it. At the end of the day, it will still depend on us how we will be responsible enough and take the possible outcome of our gambling activities for we can be blind once got addicted to it.

Even if theres restriction there would be always people who do go against it and  there are people who do really make out those places even on the illegal side
as long they do able to make money or revenue then they will surely do it even if againsts the rules or laws and for those addicted ones then you are expecting
for them to play and go into  these illegal places.

About on that kid who do took suicide then he's very wrong on that decision.Life is only one and problems can be solved out no matter how severe it is.
Its just human being are too emotional but there are some which cant able to handle out that emotion which would really lead into this.

RIP to the Indian boy, even though this happens every dingle day in every single country.   

Even in countries where gambling is illegal, those who indulge in online gambling are seldom booked. Even if the cops book them, at the most the punishment will be limited to financial penalties. I haven't heard about anyone getting a jail term, because he has taken part in an online gambling game. And then the gambling site owners.. they are always beyond the reach of the law..

Yes, it is our responsibility to our children to stay away from gambling, and we always need to remind them of their association with their friends. Maybe we need to explain to them the dangers of playing gambling for the long term, so they can think that playing gambling can losing their money, and the worst is they can become addicted to gambling. Once they are addicted to gambling, everything will ruin, including their lives and their family.

Maybe because they don't have strict laws for that and gambling can't be considered as a crime but an illegal way to get money ,and no one else will perish only  the gambler by it self.

if they want the law to be stricter, they need to tighten enforcement and increase bail on people who operate illegal gambling , that's the only way to stop illegal gambling in different countries.

How practical is this? Nowadays, most of the gambling is done online. And the promoters may be residing in countries where gambling is perfectly legal, such as Bermuda or Cayman Islands. The only option for the government is to block these websites in their jurisdiction. But that too is not very effective, as the gamblers can access the website by simply using a VPN connection. 

Poor boy :'( nobody deserves this end, and even lees if the reason is the money.

Not even all the money in the world is worth your life. Most beautiful things are free!! Me myself lost a lot of money since 2018 hodling altcoins that have lost more than the 90% in the bear market, and I'm totally happy with my life, having very little material things, but huge really important things (parents, old but healty, girlfriend, pet...).

It is a different as I didn't borrow any money and lose it. I have recommended it before in this forum, but for those bettors here who don't know the book, do read Dostoevsky's "The Gambler": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gambler_(novel)

Well, so sad to hear that news. I think that boy before He committed suicide that person experienced to won a big amount. Then, after that moment losses came up to him until He didn't noticed that his loss is getting bigger and bigger where until He found out there's nothing left for
Him, it's pity actually for this person. Let us not become greedy just We aim to become rich instantly thru gambling due to luck.

Every life that is lost for whatever reason is always regrettable. RIP.

The point here is how to determine what the gambling debts were, it must be understood that there are associated pathologies and gambling is a disease that in many cases does not kill but does impoverish, leads to drugs, etc.

This case can be a type of case associated with depression.

In any case, I can tell you that the upper average is that people do not commit suicide by gambling, even with large debts, committing suicide is such a complex decision, but so complex that it is mainly associated with depression.

Depressed people commit suicide for so many causes, love, debt, work, life goals and even successful people commit suicide, that is, without explanation.

The point here is that gambling does not have to be seen as the "always" big culprit, more people die from traffic accidents than deaths from gambling. People die from smoking cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, plastic surgeries, even more people die annually from taking a photo than from gambling debts, by the way in India it is the country with the most deaths from this cause, if selfies.

I repeat: All life that is lost for whatever reason is always regrettable
Tip: If this news affects you from the point of view of the game, good for you, do not just read it, be surprised, stop betting.

He is addicted players because he borrowed money to their friends to play gambling which is wrong. I hope people will not being addicted becuse it will not happen a good outcome once you are that. Suicide is not answer or solution to his problems quit or minimize playing of gambling and he will recover. There is a lot of bad happens to the person if they are a addict player they do wrong for the sake of their wants or habits.

It's a sad ending I figure that he does not have a trusted friend whom he can tell all his problem, this is the issue of gamblers who has no one to guide him on how to play it right, he kept it to himself and just exploded when he thinks that his situation is hopeless, he is young so parents should watch out for their children if he always kept things to himself.

Depression is really a thing, even you are a young or old or in the middle everyone can be depressed, however he should ask for somebody help, he shouldn't carry this thing all alone, he become addicted maybe and got depressed, a proper rehab and medication can help him but it is too late. It only shows that addiction in gambling and low emotional control can really affect people if it doesn't handle in the right way.

Gambling should be an entertainment and not an addiction. I felt bad for the indian boy who committed suicide because of pressure. I know that winning in gambling have this good feeling that you want to make more bets hoping for more wins but in the end it will be a lose streak. Self-control is what we really needed here in gambling. Ofcourse, we should learn our lesson if ever that we already lose something, we should be mindful of the other consequences that may occur if we will not stop ourselves from doing it.

In general, this story is another warning to gamblers that they need to learn how to manage not only their means but also emotions. I hope the relatives of this guy have the patience and strength to pass this life test, because burying your child is the biggest tragedy.   

Since he is just a boy, this is the only choice he saw.

He borrowed money from his friends to at least take his losses back which we all know that is risky. Since he is still young, he probably do not know about the risk of borrowing money. This is why it is better not to let those kids to play because they will probably not take the risk or the feeling of losing the money from gambling.

That's the thing. Most people believe in there is better chances in numbers and as such, they tend to bet on multiple slips or copies. It's not a very bad strategy but, with the probability nature of all bets, it's very possible that, you can have one rugged game amongst them. It could be the one you had faith in and have decided to duplicate it in other bets and like that, if it goes wrong, the bets are all gone. You can't be too sure no matter the odds.

I am sure that many of us felt terrible for the Indian boy, and we don't want to have the same thing as him, or we will see some of our family members or even our kids will be like that. Self-control will be the important thing that we need to learn, even if that is hard because that will prevent us from becoming addicting. If we win in gambling, we need to know that we will not have the same chance to win in the next round, so it is better to stop while we can.

Since you are in gambling then there's none who can gurantee you.

Even you are copying or you are trusting your own guts, gambling will stay the same whatever you do if luck runs against you there's no
way for you to avoid losing your money, in this boy's case, he can't handle the situation that's why he choose to end things like this, his
mistakes causes his life to an early end.

Gambling could very well turn into a sickness, it could also be something fun but if you do not know how to have fun with it, it could turn into something very bad like what happened to this boy. However we can't stop these type of things happening neither, as you might know even when it is illegal to gamble, people find ways to gamble anyway and they keep betting no matter how dangerous and risky it is to gamble when it is illegal.

So, we are talking about something we can't stop, you can try to educate these people for the risks of gambling from young age, however during young age words like "dangerous" and "risky" sounds like cool things, and young kids try to do cool things, so you create a dilemma while trying to teach how bad it is, they might want it more.

Which it isnt really worth for him to do such thing yet problems cant be just resolved on committing suicide and he didnt think off that the debt that he had left will really be
passed into his parent and be the one will really be sued out to pay such debt.So he had still left some problem aside on ending his own life which is somewhat useless.

Some people cant really handle up their emotions thats why they do really make up this option thinking off that they will get rid of it which is totally out of your mind
if you do consider this one.Every problem does have a solution but seems this kids mind isnt really that mature enough and he do let himself fall into addiction
which causes for him to end up with deep debt.

That is while it's good to know what is involves in gambling before going or adventuring into it, because it's really obvious that someone can give off he/her life because of the amount of money lost during gambling because its objective to gamble was not it really accomplished the way he was expected, so its advisable to  someone who financial buoyant and also matured to go into gamble, the only reason the person in question as op narrated died it's because the finance wasn't his own and there is no way to generate or raised such amount of money to return to the owner.

It's written in the title of the link : he was 19 years old
If you can't reach the page because the website isn't available from your country like for me, you still can read the page in text mode through the cache of google http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://cricket.yahoo.net/news/hyderabad-19-old-dies-suicide-025113659&strip=1

He is not 19 years old but 21 years old.

https://thewire.in/sport/ipl-betting-suicide-cricket


At the right age already but his mind is not so matured already in handing pressure so he took his life instead of facing his problems.

The Idea of borrowing money just to gamble is a perfect example that this Boy is already addicted and has no where to run but to gamble

he will spend everything in His hand just to play,there is no fun in His activities as he always seek for wins and never be contented.

I did not mean that what he does is right but the way he spends living?suicide is His only salvation.
Hope He is now found peace if where he was now.

It is a really shocking and heart touching news. It is he only reason why i hate those people who are addicted on something and greedy. Because this type of people do everything for money or those things he is addicted to. I'mI always tell my friends to gamble within a certain limits. You can spend some of your daily pocket money on it. This will not hurt your family. we should never gambling by borrowing money Or beyond our capacity. And the last thing is ,you must be a man of strong morale. Because gambling is a game with luck. If you are lucky you will earn a lot of money, but if you are unlucky you will lose a lot of money. If your morale is not strong, you will break if you lose money. So you always have to keep your morale strong. And be prepared to lose money.

Know what?before telling people not to gamble much better tell them this before we teach them how to gamble,because this is part of being responsible gambling right?

The problem here is we  tend to teach others how to gamble but we are not caring for what they will become.
I know that it is not our responsible but we must understand also that if we don't do such thing then we will letting them to be addicted.

Even if i never knew this Indian boy my heart aches for his family and friends who are hurting because of his choice to take his own life.  To commit suicide is never the right thing to do and its so sad that nobody was able to help him.   

The sad thing is that the generation of younger age now is so fragile.

They are spoiled by us the previous generation because of how we are treated in the past and we want that to change, we never want that to happen to our children because we know how it hurts. Now, they are kind of romanticizing this kind of way to end their life instead of facing that weakness or mistakes head on that would make them stronger. It could also help other people of their age as they can be the model for them. Committing suicide is not a good thing.

A lot of things were needed to look as why this sad incident happened ?  Not everyone is able to commit suicide even in case of big losses. There must be some physiological  issues with him too and might be some family tensions which only he or his near & dear ones know about it.
A life of a person is more important than any amount of money being lost.

I never thought that losing money through betting can lead into this kind of incident, I hope that his family already accepted to what happen to that boy who committed suicide. I cannot judge him to what he did because I never know what he feels and what he experienced after to lose the money that he just borrowed. This incident should be become the trigger for some government to allocate more funds and focus on suicide awareness because it can prevent person especially those gamblers who have suicidal behavior. Depression is real and people can overcome it through proper guidance and education. I hope that this kind of situation will never happen again.

It is easy to be said than to be done. It is just like you were telling yourself that you wouldn't fall for it but you still playing. Borrowing money for you to use in gambling was the worst idea, it could even make the situation worse, in a way this could stack up your debt. They still choose to do it knowing what consequences will be because they can't control themselves or should I say they got already addicted to it. That is why we need someone besides us who are willing to help us to manage our addiction. Anyway, I felt bad for the kid.

We hope it is a lesson for the other young generation in all countries, not doing the same thing as what he did. Borrowing money for just playing gambling is too risky, especially if we are losing the money and can not repay that loan. In the end, many of the young generations will end or commit suicide when they can not solve the problem. It is not just for the young generation, but it is also a job for the parents to watch their kids and guard them not to make a mistake like that.

No doubt about that, there are many gamblers who suffered the same thing.

Thinking that they can always recover if ever they've lose their money, taking a loan as another alternatives to get funds
and continue their gambling activities, it's really hard to resist once you are already engaged and your addiction is on it's pick.
You really need attentions and help as it will go further to the point that you will take everything at risk.

it is not only for Younger gambler but instead for all gamblers out there that has been dealing with gambling without precaution and Self control.
because even Older gambler can be addicted aand do same thing like what this young boy does.
Let us make sure that before we gamble is we must have control in ourselves .

I think not just before gambling but before we make these rash decisions that in the end, we will not be able to face the consequences that might happen. Even if he can control himself while he gambles, he can't control himself from borrowing money to gamble. He did not control himself from killing himself, we really need control to ourselves.

Lesson learn that never to get into deep gambling addiction. This will be the possible result, frustration effect to a gambler if they can't get the desired results in betting. As we all know that only few are lucky in betting especially in casino and mostly in the long run gambler tend to lose and that is a fact. So, if ever you get relied to get a good result from it then the result will be frustration and that can lead suicide. Anyway, India country is # 1 leading of people getting into suicide that base on the movie the 3 Idiots after the main character Rancho had stated it as I remember.

But are you sure we are talking about the same guy?
Op said he was 19, moreover the guy in the Yahoo cricket link is called "Sonu Kumar Yadav" and not Raju Yadav... It sounds a little bit weird

Gambling is not bad. I know a lot of people who gamble just for fun. They have a lot of money, yet they gamble within a certain amount of money. They go to the casino daily. But the purpose of going to the casino is to hang out with friends and gamble together. They are not addicted to gambling. Gambling is not harmful for them. If someone is addicted to gambling, he is responsible for it. He has no control over himself.  The person who taught him to gamble is not responsible for it.

another example of making bets with all the money (and also using borrowed money) with sad final. the first rule of gambler - bet with money you can afford to lose. borrowing for bets is a bad mistake.

This is the problem to most of the gamblers out there who are very greedy in multiplying their money without thinking the consequences if they lost their bet.
Being greedy will only cause you a problem and worst the same to what happen to this Indian young boy which can be avoided if he just know how to control his
bets or gambling habit.

We should always put a limitation to our gambling habit and gamble only your extra money or a money that you can afford to loss so you will not end up to this kind
of scenario.

While there are many signs that point to gambling addiction one of the most telling is borrowing money to continue with your gambling, losing all your money should be a wake up call that something is wrong with you and your gambling activities but instead of reflecting about it people that are addicted only care about one thing and that is to fuel their addiction, however when this person was losing his own money he could keep his addiction hidden from everyone else but once he borrowed money everyone will find out about it unless he won, so most likely the pressure of being exposed is what caused this unfortunate incident.

It is a life's loss. Basically, we all have the same feeling even if we don't know the person. Even a friend of a friend, when unfortunate things comes like this we feel sad about that incident.
The boy probably went through a mental stress and thought that everyone would be mad at him if they ever found out what he has done.

This is the sad thing about this. People don't need to be hard on themselves when they made these selfish mistakes, that is why we have these consequences so we can learn from them, not run from them. I don't blame the teenager for this, I just hope that people should try to strengthen themselves especially in these kinds of situations.

But the one who committed suicide is just a boy. He still doesn't know much about that, as he said, he probably thought that everyone will be mad at him or what. He borrowed money from his friend and try to take back his losses but lose all of it, in this case, a boy with a very young mind will probably face a mental stress and cannot think right.

It is common for teenagers to have a weak understanding and don't have mature mindsets. Most of them think that it's the end of the world whenever they get in trouble that is still fixable.
But the boy, like what we're thinking, does have a mindset that ain't that strong which led him doing that. Also there is a tendency that his friend will get mad at him but will still spare him, he didn't thought of it but decided to go the wrong way.

When he makes that mistake and he already 21-year old, that will be his mistake. I only think that he loses control of gambling, and make him desperate, and he borrows money from his friend. But suddenly, he loses all of the money in gambling, and he can not accept his losses because he can not repay that money.

We all feel sad to read that news, and we hope that young people will get the lesson, not to try to borrow money from other people just for playing gambling. It is better to stay away from gambling than to see you will lose much money because you can not control yourself.

The problem with this news is that it is used by people who want to ban gambling to try to show how disastrous it is, when the truth is that most people who gamble do so responsibly. It's like trying to show how bad alcohol is by telling the story of an alcoholic who ends up committing suicide or dying of liver cirrhosis.

Extreme cases have always existed and will continue to exist, but we should not make them the norm.

I slightly disagree with it. While most smokers and people who drink do it not excessively because of immediate health effects, let's say if you smoke so much in a day, you will feel dizzy and stuff which will make you stop smoking, but in gambling there's no immediate side reaction. And that's why a person can become slightly addicted to very much addicted in gambling within few days if he loses very much.

It is all about individual's responsibility as a gambler, I do not feel what he felt before so I do not have any idea of how hard that situation that resulted for him to end his own life but one thing is sure which is he didn't manage to think right where he let himself to control by his emotion. Before we become a gambler, we should accept the fact that losing is inevitable because there is no guarantee of profit here in gambling. This kind of event should be a lesson for those gamblers out there to manage to control the emotions and only invest our put money that you can afford to lose. For me the boy committed suicide because for sure he do not know how to regain and payback the money that just he borrowed from his friends.

This is really sad, a life lost which was completely unnecessary. There were definitely other solutions to his problems. And it's a mistake by his friends and family to not help him to find these way out. Probably they didn't know and he never confined in them.

I hope many others take this incident as lesson to learn from, so something similar won't happen again. We should never bet everything we have on o é bet. And mixing friendship with business can be very problematic too.

Too much smoking and drinking is dangerous for your body but too much gambling leads to addiction that is dangerous to your mind, when your mind is affected, you'll not be able to think properly and that will result to losing a lot of money which will make you desperate to recover until you lose everything.

Then, living a troubled life will follow that you will be addicted to alcohol and drugs, and some just can't handle it that they think of committing a suicide.

Borrowing money to gamble would be a lesson.

But suicide? I think it would stay the same. There are a lot of people that did suicide from a lot of things and it kept on happening over and over again. They never fear dying since in their idea, it would be the end of their struggles and problem not knowing that it is far harder for those people that they left especially their family and loved ones.

When they think there is no way out of their problem, they will think that suicide will be the best thing to solve their problem. They will not think about the impact on their family if they commit suicide. Yes, they never fear death because they don't think much about finding the other way to solve it. The only way they think about is how they can end their lives before the person asks for the money. It's a pity because he is still young people who could have a bright future.

At this point, I'm actually wondering if one should pity such people who just have that feeling of "Fuck this, let's get this over with" kind of vibe. Yes, I'm this close to just saying, "Are you an idiot?" kind of thing. Tell me that I have no feelings or whatnot, but really, you reap what you sow. This is a different idea from those that commit suicide due to depression of personal connections or what not, those aren't really directly their fault tbh, but this one? Directly the boys fault.

Well, you don't exactly show what "you're supposed to do" in the news no? It wont go to the news if you help someone on the road, but if you do ignore someone, if someone saw, 100% sure you'd be the talks of those people and worse, if someone filmed you, you'd be on the trending the next day. News don't go for the right ones, even wrong ones tbh, they go for ones that give controversy.

We realizes it now because we are not in the situation, but this man who are in the situation maybe are not already thinking straight that's why he think of committing a suicide. That's why prevention is always better than cure because the gravity of his problem is too deep already that he can't under it anymore. All we can do now is just to learn from his experience and be open for the possibility of committing suicide if we lose control in gambling.

We've heard stories of such and some are worse. Not to take this instance lightly, but the bottomline is that losing in gambling doesn't end with that alone. There will be frustrations at the end of the day to some people, not to generalise since individuals have different perspectives. Prevention is better than cure, which is correct. Yes, we are not in this man's shoe so we better be cautious of our actions in such activity. Only gamble what you can afford losing in order to avoid regrets at the end which could make another problem such as in this scenario. Lines of such are cliché, but that's the reality.

That is the reason why I said that I can't blame him and what I am saying is not addressed to the boy himself but to us gamblers that should understand the consequences of what we are doing. We should know better, and hope that this could be a lesson that might help gamblers to control themselves.

He's so young. Is there any threat if he can't pay the debt from his friend? Or he borrowed from others, not from his friend? I already read the post, but the details he borrowed from his friend are missing in the source. Honestly, this is possible he commit suicide because he loses a bet with a large amount of money. But it's possible too that he committed suicide because he borrowed from a bad lender who will do something if he can't pay the debt. This is a serious case. Many would follow this event if their authorities didn't make a move to prevent this from happening.

Could even be the humiliation he felt for himself. He could have lend that money for something else like study or business but put it all on gambling and as he lost, he saw no way out of debt and humiliation in front of his friends and family.
Unplanned gambling and gambling with borrowed funds is a sure way to destroy your life. It's difficult but people need to control their urge to gambling their life savings.

This is the dangers of online betting or gambling in general when not done right. If you can't bet twice, you can't afford to bet at all. Moreso if you have loaned the money you used for betting. We really can't blame the poor guy but let this be a lesson not only to the beginners but to the veterans as well. Betting is playing with a loaded gun. You either shoot your target, get jailed for illegally possessing a firearm, or die because you shot yourself in the face

Many lives and families were destroy by uncontrolled gambling addiction, they really need help. Also, much better if he is the one who accepts his vices and ask for help, his cooperation is also needed.


I think that's already addiction to gambling. Sad that it is happening, gambling addiction should be addressed so that not to destroy more lives. Gambling as a form of entertainment is fine, but uncontrolled spending even borrowing money  to gamble is another story that needs professional advise.

He only thinks that suicide will solve the problem because he doesn't live anymore. We must take the lesson behind his story and don't let ourselves falls into gambling or one of our family have experiences in the gambling industry. And never let ourselves in the trouble that can not realize how dangerous that thing. Let us use gambling to search for entertainment.

Here in India, there is a lot of taboo related to gambling. First of all, it is banned here and if you are still indulging in gambling, then that means that you are breaking the law. And secondly, if you tell some of your friends and relatives that you have lost money in gambling, then they are more likely to blame you rather than provide any sort of help. And we don't know, whether this guy had approached any of his friends or relatives before his suicide.

I lost too in gambling many times, but I didn't think of committing suicide even once. However, we don't know his life's whole story, like how much the bet he loses and his other life problem that finally pushes him to end his life.


I know someone who always borrowed money for gambling, but he is not addicted to it. Actually, he is responsible for paying his loan. You can get rid of it by going to rehabilitation centers if you are addicted to gambling because there's a rehab for gambling addiction.  

I don't think that it has to be literal like loading it with a gun but it is a fact that it's like that if we're going to analyze it.
I've heard a lot of scenarios and experiences before about loaning money for betting but this is the worst. It doesn't have to end like that but it just so happened which is very sad and miserable.

This is not something that is very unusual. A lot of gamblers have had their lives ruined in a matter of one or two hours, as a result of the uncontrolled addiction to gambling. In casinos, there are always loan sharks who will be ready to provide instant loans, so that the gamblers can continue with their bets. And in most cases, it ends in further losses. The same is now happening in online casinos.

Yes, not that unusual but this kind of result is the worst. Ending ones life just because of gambling and don't want to face the problem that awaits him with his losses is the worst.
Those loan sharks inside the casinos are also taking advantage of it but this is a different scenario, the guy loaned from his friend but it's not that far from the scenario.

But I guess that some people still gambling in secret places because if something is prohibited or banned, people will search for another way to do that thing. I think what people do related to someone who is playing gambling and loses money in gambling is right. They can blame people who are playing gambling, but it is better to help that person solve his problem in gambling. So if that person has addicted to gambling, they can help it and visit the psychiatrist together.

If someone is indulging in gambling illegally, then he is very unlikely to consult a psychiatrist or a sociologist to discuss his addiction. Because he risks getting reported to the police. This is the problem when you have a regressive government which imposes useless bans on certain sectors. And India is not the only country where gambling is banned. It is the same story in most of the South Asian nations.

So how can he solve his addiction? Because I think he will try to come back to the secret gambling places without anyone knows. Or maybe a psychiatrist will not tell or can keep a secret for every patient that comes to him. I hope that people who have a gambling addiction can find out how they can solve their addiction without getting arrest by the police or the government.

I couldn't understand the last line. How is shooting target (winning) makes it loss for the player? It's not a proper comparison. Maybe I'm missing something, but in no way winning in gambling is a bad thing lmao. But yeah, if you win too much, you will think your luck is very good so you will continue to gamble which is bad!

All addictions are bad, it doesn't really matter at what you are addicted, doing something too much will always means harmful effects for the mind and the body of a person, let's take a look at exercise addiction, exercise is good for your body but if it becomes an addiction like this happens in certain people you could end up crippling your body by taking illegal substances to increase your body mass and you could exercise to the point that your body breaks, so it makes sense that those that are addicted to gambling destroy their lives even if technically only their minds are affected by it.

He might have talked to his friends about the loss and tried to repay them bit by bit instead of committing suicide. The main cause seems to be the lack of communication that the boy may had with his friends or parents. Many friends of mine lost in IPL but they did not take this step as it is life and shit hits fan sometimes, does not mean we should give up but try to change it in our way.

Maturity plays an important role when we are certain financial condition and mostly it will be better when we are old enough like something above 18 on most countries, but with the help of internet then age factor will not be a restriction anymore for anyone to gamble so users are doing at their own risk and they should be responsible for their actions.

You wont know that he had tend to seek out help from his friends or do even tell his problem into his parents because most likely into this kind of situation
where minors or young minds do really take this problem on their own without tending to seek out some help from others and just trying to solve
on their own and if there are no ways that had been found then thats where stress and emotions do comes out which might really result into
suicide attempt when you dont have much good control of your emotions which it isnt really worth for your life to be wasted just because of some debt.

Not a new story, but still an alarming scenario. This kid is typically gambling for his life (that's what he had in his mindset) . This is one of the example of extreme gambling addiction. Even if he win and paid that borrowed money, he'd still go back to gambling and will continuously lossing money and still end up killing himself.
The only way to stop that kid from killing himself, is to actually stop him from gambling.
Really really sad news and waste of precious life.

That's a problem of people that can't manage themselves, they need guidance from someone else just not to commit a serious mistake that you can never undo and that is suicide. I guess the boy did not have parents or friends that give advice to him. Gambling will really change your life if you will able to manage it, but if not, it will ruin the life that makes you miserable that will end up of thinking ending your life.

We should always put our mind to gamble always of what we can afford. Controlling your emotion over gambling and don't let this over power by you.

This is the problem of the person who always keep their misery and problem since they will go at this stage that suicide is their option to get out the problem, but if there's someone from his family members or friend notice his doings at the very beginning for sure they can possibly stop the future attempt and advice what is best for him.

In addition to gamble what we can afford is we should have discipline on what we are doing since this is the one who can make us enjoy the game and other thing what we do.

It's not only in India but all countries where gambling is legal there are issues like this, some of them are not broadcast publicly but there really is, if you have a family or a friend who is very much hooked on gambling and he sometimes asks for a loan, better check if he is very deep into gambling because he may end up like this.

Unless if they are opened to you and let his/her family well-informed because it sometimes they hide it and we just get surprised into hearing such a thing. It gonna be the responsibility of the parent to look into their family member's activities and the welfare of everyone. But this kind of scenario just like killing himself, I don't think that this boy is opened to his parents or to his friends. I believe he hiding it until such a time that he can no longer take the pressure and brought top the decision like that.

Though this news wasn't new to us but still and it was always a very sad news since another life were being lost due to this kind of issue. That's why we should always spare ourselves for further huge loses ahead by just controlling our emotion and always keep in mind to take risk to gamble the amount that you can afford to lose. Its a simple rule that everyone should be kept in mind but sometimes it was also hard to follow.

This is a global problem and it is indeed these kind of incidents do happen worldwide which there are gamblers who do end up into this situation just because they do let themselves
fall into the pit of addiction and its sad that people do really end up on this option just for them to run of with the problem.

When we are on the verge of deep debt then we should stop completely to avoid further or severe problem.Try to solve out problems first and you should learn the lesson.

We cant tell on how long we can hold up with kind of problems specially on financial and how much more if you are still young but you are already
involved with this severe type of problem.

but in poor countries this problem is much deeper. people consider gambling as a way of getting out of poverty and in rich countries most people consider it as a fun. I don't think that in Sweden or in Norway someone would commit suicide after losing money.

in poor places theres more suicide cases because of financial problem and gambling can be one of the cause of it but on poorer countries there are gamblers that are only playing for fun and not to get out of poverty because they know that it wont work . on richier countries there were less cases of suicides but there are cases of suicide that cause by gambling  . rich people tend to gamble big and can loan big easily , they think gambling is the solution to pay for those debts but if they loose this will cause heavy stress to them that leads to end thier life .

This is probably the worst thing that a gambler can do after losing a huge amount of money.
He gambled too much and lost too much that he can't bear his losses and he wants to be out of it so he just did commit suicide. His life in exchange for the debts he had.

I don't feel pity or anything towards the gambler because at first place, if he knows that he can't bear huge losses then it would be better if he just steps out of gambling rather than gambling more in order to recover his losses. I know that there are people around the world that are poor but gambling isn't the solution for it. There are many ways if they want to go out of being poor and gambling isn't one of them.

This is what happens when you depend or put everything on gambling. Another was lost due to gambling, I feel bad for the young man and his family for choosing suicide as a last resort. Gambling shouldn't be taken seriously, I honestly think taking it seriously will just spoil the fun, it will give you stress and even put you under pressure. Gambling is supposed to be entertainment, however, some people push their luck too far that it goes out of control.

Gamble responsibly.

Gambling addiction has been a social problem. It's necessary to educate people on the risk of gambling. Banning gambling is not the solution as it would bring up more problems and gambling itself has it's own contribution to the society and economy.
It's about self control mostly both on gambling habits and outlook of life. Human life is much more important than money.

Prohibition of gambling is not a solution. Naturally, we are more attracted to forbidden things. If it is banned, everyone will gamble by evading the government and the government will lose a large amount of revenue.

That's the downside of gambling when you cannot afford to lose and when you're addicted to gambling!
And exactly borrowing the money for gambling is the worst decision anyone can make with the pressure of returning and recovering the losses.
I feel bad for that boy addiction got the best out of him.

That's wrong. It doesn't depend on financial conditions really. If someone is gambling addict, they will uniformly play to the proportional to their net worth. A millionaire would gamble thousands and millions of dollars, a poor will gamble whatever he got. In the end they all lose it all if not handled properly! It comes to individualism.

I think there are enough helplines available to be spoken with, but someone who just made up his mind that nobody will understand his emotions and problems will not communicate with anybody and take this step. They should understand that gambling is not a game for weak people, and if they lose something that was not intended to be lost, they should consult some people available on phone calls to get the burden on their minds be calmed down a bit. This is a lesson for everyone not to take debts to recover your money because you can make money on your own for yourself, but losing other's money adds up much more tension on your mind and can even give you sleepless nights.

I would rephrase that ^ a bit: "the downside of betting what you cannot afford to lose"
The problem with using the word gambling in that contest is that it confuses people who already know that gambling is taking big risk and is bad to take big risk with our hard-earned or borrowed money. But betting with what we can afford to lose/risk is fair... afterall the money won't be really lost. Part of it is going to people with better luck/skills/knowledge and other part to people who provide the betting services.
Bet, but don't gamble.

That's it, it's the risk that we don't want to happen to us, it's something we need to prevent and therefore we have to be responsible all the time.
Responsible gambling is always necessary regardless of the amount we bet.

It could be a bad decision but if you are responsible in gambling, it should not create a big problem, just treat it like a business, you borrow money to invest on yourself, if you lose, make sure you'll pay.

Suicide is one of the serious problem in many countries especially in 3rd world country who have high poverty rate, I keep worrying that the suicide rate is keep increasing especially because of gambling. My suggestion to other gamblers like me is to stay healthy both physically and mentally wherein we should be aware on our thoughts and we should have a determination and a winning mentality. Suicide is real and not a joke especially those who are experiencing suicidal thoughts. It is so sad to see a young boy to end his own life just because of gambling, maybe his psychology is not really prepared. I hope that this situation become lesson for those who keep borrowing money as their capital in gambling.

This is true gambling can lead into emotional when you can't handle the stress because you just borrowed a money to gamble it and for thinking that you can double it sometimes because you already set into your mindset that you can do it and yet still 50/50 percent chances of winning i have a friend korean his 65 year's old he only do gamble and now his family left him because he lost too much money , to the point that he commit suicide but it was failed and i give him advice sometimes its better to live in this world just give his family some time to think and change his life.

This kind of stories are always sad because there is so much wasted potential, this kid could have become anything that he wanted but he made a series of mistakes that took him through a path which he believed it was impossible to escape, and the truth is that he could have escaped if he just admitted that he was addicted to gambling and that he needed help, but it seems that he was too proud for that and instead he decided to take a path from which there is no return.

I dont know on how can you say that he was too proud of yet i do rather say that he had already had that confusion in mind and too much mental stress on how
he would repay his friends into those borrowed money.Losing money is nothing you can be proud of or you do lost it all but instead you would really be molding up that
deep self pity on you.

No one can say on someones future that why in such young age its really a waste on ending someones life just because of that.He should at least
tend to ask some help in regards to his problem and mainly would be on his parents because this is then nearest someone who can you ask
some help.They might scold you but theres no other option left.

Perhaps, he might be affected so much by peer pressure and the influence of others towards his decision. Or the other way around, there's a possibility that he has no one by his side to decide which option to take that is why he spent and trusted so much of his funds to gamble. This is one of the disadvantages of being alone, we are being sad and we want to escape the sadness by having it especially in gambling. The consequence is that if faith doesn't turn out to be in our favor and we lost everything, it will impact us too much in our mental and psychological health. For the worst-case scenario, we might end up by what happened to the Indian boy if right from the start, we aren't really prepared for losing. We should first accept the terms even before we start gambling.

Unfortunately, there are no people who can help him because he decides to do a shortcut to end his life. If he can tell his problem to his family, at least to his friends, he will have a chance to solve his problem because his family or friend will help to find the way.

The mistake is borrowing money, which he uses for playing gambling. But then, he can't stop gambling and still continue playing until losing the money. I guess he is desperate about how to repay the money because perhaps, he loses all of the borrowing money.

The very bad consequence once you mistakenly handle this activity, for some addicted gmablers they'll be able to sell out their things to the point that they will rob something that have value to sell and use the money to play back and try to win inside the gambling  house.
Other will lend money as the desire to recover is very intense.

The act that this boy did is a shortcut to forget the wrong doings that he commit, those amount of money that he loses around the
gambling house, for him he can no longer bring it back depressions and regrets push him to commit suicide.

the guy can't control his emotion, maybe he thought that gambling can save him, but instead, it breaks his heart, that is why don't focus too much on gambling, its really just for fun, professionals gamblers know this, they have endured loses, I feel sad for him, I hope his family is okay, this should be a lesson for those who want to try their luck in gambling they should be prepared for what is going to happen.

It is a complete misconception that an indian boy has committed suicide after losing money by betting in the IPL betting the rate will be won you have to control your emotions and try to move forward it is foolish to end one's life keep cool and play through the entertainment. A lot of time depends on luck life becomes unbearable in the face of the grief of losing money and the pressure to return money therefore it is better to postpone if the amount of loss is high.

Whatever our opinion on its sudden death let this thing another life lesson that each and everyone should learned. The life that has already end cannot undo and the mistake that he already commited cannot be corrected. Let's give him peace and sympathy for this boy has a huge problem shouldered on while he still has breath but seemed that even his family didn't know the burden he has. This should be a lesson for us to be responsible on our every decision in life especially when it comes to gambling or betting.

These suicides were the result of decision taken within few minutes after the loss. By the time the loss will be the one that gets remembered in the mind. If the gambler overcome those minutes, further he will come to normal situation with some frustration. Once sharing the loss with someone close to him automatically he gets recovered and makes his mind positive towards living.

The simpe truth is that the kid gambled (took big risk) in betting. He bet with what he couldn't afford to lose/risk(that is a gamble), he lost and couldn't not handle the lose.
This is why it's always important to warn people in casinos or betting centers/sites not to gamble or take big risk in betting centers/sites. Don't allow them to bet with what they can't afford to lose/risk!
Bet but don't gamble. Bet responsibly.

I already see people sell out their stuff to other people, but they don't use that money to buy their daily needs, but it's for playing gambling. See that? They easily sell their stuff such as neckless, rings, and other jewel just to play gambling. Yes, some bad people who gamble rob other people to get their money, and they can kill their victims if they want. We might see that case in the news, and many people become their victims.

That boy already loses everything, even his family also lost him, and nothing can do to get him back. Everything ends for that boy, and there is an important lesson for all people who read that news, especially for younger people, not playing gambling more than you can afford.

There are hundreds of millions of gamblers out there, who do gambling in a careful and calculated manner. But every now and then, we hear about isolated cases such as this one. And for the critics, it doesn't matter whether these cases represent an extreme rarity or not. For them it is an opportunity to continue with their crusade against gambling.

You would really be putting up yourself into big trouble if you do gamble with borrowed money because chances of losing those amounts is high rather than on making profit.

Nothing is assured even if you are that too confident that you can repay those amounts because in gambling theres no such thing about guaranteed profits or win.So its just

right for us to think that its totally careless act or too dumb to consider on gambling on someones money yet you arent sure if you can repay it or not.

In addition to that, the gambler is only a boy with a young mind. No wonder he didn't take the stress it caused to his mind. He didn't know what to do after losing the borrowed money which shouldn't be done in the very first place. The risk is there and he will never know if he will be able to win with that money that's why it is not really advisable to use borrowed money in gambling.
