It is so unfortunate how some gamblers become so addicted to the extent of selling off most of their properties just to play gamble even when they're aware of the risk that is associated with selling ones properties as you may not be able to replace that same property again even in your entire life.

I remembered some years back when an addicted gambling friend of mine sold his father's car and used the money to play gamble, and he ran out of the house to an unknown destination for over 3 years such that the parents where even looking for him to come back home regardless of the crime he committed because he was his parents only male child, so this friend of mine was invincible and without communication for 3 years and afterwards he returned home looking so unkept and his parents saw him and started crying that regardless of what he did that he wouldn't have ran out of their sight and he apologized for his actions and started living a different life. Just imagine the conditions he went through just because of taking a reckless decision that may have even taken his life because no one knows his activities as he left home and moreover he had already spent all the money gotten from the car he sold on gambling, so how he managed to survive without money and help from his friends and relatives for good 3 years is a risk no body would wish to take in life.

No matter how deep you are in gambling never you sell a property because you will surely regret it when it doesn't work the way you expected.

Have you ever sold a property to play gamble and afterwards finds it difficult to replace that same property again?

I sold a laptop that I supposed to repair and I lost the money to gambling. I sold a good home theater and used the money to gamble and I lost it. Enough lesson for me not to sell anything and use the money to ever gamble again.

But it is highly not good to touch your parent property and sell to gamble. It is not good at all. If he has changed, that would be good.

I have never sold any of my valuable assets to gamble. I never take gambling seriously. People who take gambling so seriously make such bad decisions. Your friend's story sounds like he was deeply addicted to gambling which led him to act like this. It is a bad experience not only for him but for his entire family. Car houses are important assets of people which provide their accommodation.  And housing is a basic human right. How can a person decide to sell their gambling house?

Those classes of people who sell their property to gamble are usually the addicted gamblers who give non-gamblers the impression that gambling is taboo, or perhaps those religious people who make reference to those who are gambling irresponsibly.

A gambler might not be addicted, but I believe that that moment when someone thinks of selling (or sell) any of their property just to use the money to gamble, then it's a sign of addiction, which can still render the person depressed if they lose the money that was staked.

Selling property to gamble is the riskiest adventure any body can take, mostly if the property they sell is of vital importance to them but they just sold it to satisfy their gambling desire.


No! I don't intend to even make such a mistake. I call it mistake because it's so unreasonable for me to carry on such act.

Of course, up to now I have never and tried not to gamble.
Property that is re-sold will be difficult to buy again if the money from the sale of the property is used for gambling capital.
Some gamblers manage to get their money back to buy property after taking the risk of selling it, but many fail in their attempts.

Not avoiding the reality, I have done selling property to use it for something I need, such as selling used smartphones and laptops for my work needs until finally I got them back with better specs.

selling property or assets just to gamble is simply stupid because instead of doubling his money, a gambler will only embarrass himself because he will most likely lose all his money.

and therefore when someone is addicted to gambling, the people closest to him need to advise or provide direction so that the gambler can think more rationally about his decisions, because usually gambling addicts do not think rationally and often sell property or goods just for their gambling, which in the end they will regret this.

I never thought about selling my property just to finance my gambling, after all, why sell property if you don't have money, it's better not to gamble, why force yourself to gamble just because you want to obey the greedy emotions and behavior within us when we lose gambling, to be honest, that's true. It is the wrong way to sell property just to gamble. People must understand that gambling is using money that is not used or just unused, don't use money for living needs, let alone selling property.

There are many cases like the child in the story above, but unfortunately most of them end tragically like my neighbor's child, when all the property belonging to his parents was lost, he just spent it on gambling, even though his parents left him a sufficient inheritance in the form of houses, vehicles and other properties but they were sold out. by the child to gamble, it is indeed very difficult for someone who has a serious gambling addiction to be cured, especially if there is no family role to pay attention and help him to recover, then it will get worse and possibly commit criminal acts.

There is nothing good that can come out of being addicted to gambling, and what's even worse is selling valuable assets; it's like losing your right sense of judgment. You no longer think about whether your decisions are right or not; that's something I could never do when it comes to gambling. This serves as proof that you won't just have financial problems but also issues with relationships and your overall well-being. But in the story shared by OP, it's fortunate that he returned home and changed his lifestyle, opening up the possibility of recovery and redemption. Three years is quite a long time, but it's a good thing that he survived even though he was far from his family.

You are right, no matter what happens, do not dispose any of your important things just for gambling because you will regret it later. It would be good if what you sell are just a normal items that can be quickly replaceable, but if it's a property, that's a different matter. You need to assess yourself if what you're doing or the decision you're going to make is still right because it's a serious discussion that needs to be discussed within yourself.
I have never experienced selling things that are important to me just so I can have money to use for gambling, and I also don't want to experience reaching the point where I can leave all important people or things to me in exchange for my freedom in gambling.

The story of a prodigal gambler!

Well, I can't remember selling any valuable property of mine to use the money for gamble and if in the future I should see myself doing that for any reason then it will be that I have started gravitating towards gambling addiction and will without hesitation retrace my footsteps against doing that for the purpose of gambling.

I could sell a property to support my business or to invest in shares or asset like bitcoin because these are things we are guaranteed of making progress in it and not for gambling that the hedge to make profit is in the hands of the house whereas I the gambler is highly dependent on luck to make a win for a profit to be made. Let's be guided in certain decision we are about to take please.

If you tell me! Of course never sell any property just to gamble, if one does that it's only because of one's own stupidity.

Maybe it's selling property first and then playing gambling after getting the money.
But there are stories where they first borrowed from the bank with a house as collateral but unexpectedly he could not pay the installments at the end of selling his property assets.

I think I have heard many stories on social media or news, so when he is addicted it spreads everywhere in the end he is difficult to rehabilitate not to gamble anymore because there are no close relatives because of his own behavior.

Selling real estate for the sake of the phantom hope of getting rich through gambling can only be a fool, or a person who has a pronounced gambling addiction and mental disorders.

I would not recommend using money in gambling, in case of loss of which you will blame yourself. And it does not matter how much it is $100 or $5000. Gambling on borrowed money is also a very bad idea.

Selling a property to enable you fund your gambling activities is actually foolishness especially if you are not new to gambling, it's expected that you shoul have understood too well how gambling can be very much luck dependent and so trusting your guts so much that you had to go sell a property to fund your gambling wallet and gamble is definitely an unwise decision. Personally I will not sell my property to gamble and I will aswell not advice any one to do same aswell not minding how much I believe such game may pull through because I still know there's a great level of uncertainties with gambling so I can't put so much trust in gambling to the point of doing such.

Always practice responsible gambling by gambling within your available resources and do not go beyond your capacity to be able to gamble as it's very unhealthy and never ideal. Remember Gambling is luck dependent and has got too many uncertainties and can't be depended up on.

People that sell their properties to gamble must be suffering from addiction. This is because when you are addicted, you will not be able to control yourself, and you will be carried away by your emotions and start chasing your losses, unknown to you that you will not be able to recover your loss, instead you will acquire more losses.

I have not sold any of my property to gamble, because I don't like selling whatever I bought with my money, but I gave used money for important needs to gamble when I regretted. I had an extra semester in school for gambling with my tuition fee. You friend should try and discipline himself so that they does not continue selling his father's property to gamble. He should quit gambling for some time and look for another means of having fun.

Only someone who is addicted to gambling would go to the extent of selling off assets to finance their habit. From your account, it is evident that your friend was already addicted and needed more money to sustain his gambling habit. Personally, if I don't have enough funds to gamble, I wouldn't resort to selling any of my assets. As long as gambling remains for fun, we shouldn't portray it as anything else.

His actions, even though he also chose to exile himself for three years, don't excuse the fact that he acted irresponsibly by selling his parents' car. I wonder what he was thinking before he sold the car to gamble. Perhaps he didn't sell it to gamble but rather stole his father's car. Because if he had gambled with the money and won big, what would he have done? Would he have bought a new car for his parents and explained that he was trying to help? It's evident that his selling the car had nothing to do with gambling.

More like they try to play back quickly what they have already lost. Imho addiction is doing something regularly and always thinking about it. Selling house and gambling the money looks for me like one action. If he would buy and sell houses regularly to gamble price difference, then it would be about addiction.

Imho selling house to gamble looks stupid. I would be much smarter, rent it and have weekly/monthly gambling budget :D That would be an example of gambling addiction. I personally would never gamble an amount of money that property can be bought. First this is not my amount of a bet size, second this is illogical for me to risk with such large amount

I've done few crazy things for investment sake, I have sold lands to buy good chunk of Bitcoin, people called me crazy for doing this but it's not even up to a year that I started seeing the rewards, risk on investments are sometimes worth it.

---

In this case of a gambler selling properties for gambling sake reminds me of a post on this forum where someone is calling gambling an investment, I think some people don't know things before they jump right into them, how can someone see gambling as an investment?

Some things are worth selling properties for, but gambling is not one, this is a risk something that is so far from called a form of investment, you are simply gambling on something that's uncertain, which will be right at times and will be wrong at times, we are not masters of the future, there is no way you can know what's yet to come.

This is simply act of stupidity and ignorance, lack of understanding what something is all about can make one engage in a very stupid way.

Gambling can really mess things up. Like your friend selling his dad's car to play that's wild. Three years off the grid, no contact. It's not just about losing money, it's about wrecking your life and the people around you. Selling stuff might seem like a quick fix but it's a road you don't want to go down. Better to reach out for help and find a way to break free from that mess

Selling your property to gamble isn't the right decision to take by any individual that wants to gamble. Any individual selling his proper or that of others is an addicted gambler. When gambling the wins doesn't happen all the time therefore selling properties to lose the money isn't wise. Gambling should be done for entertainment and not as an investments, if we depend on gambling we won't be able to get money regularly. Selling of property can only be done for something useful.

When you sell your property, you are like other individual that borrow money to gamble, you're gambling under pressure as you'll want to make the money quicker so you can replace the property. When the property isn't yours that'll be a crime and you will be punished when you're caught for stealing. If you don't have spare money to gamble, don't gamble but look for other activities that'll be giving you fun.

I have heard about this a number of times and I keep wondering what could be the motivation for such harsh decision. Whatever it could be, I know that this will never end well because it is like gambling with money you do not have. The fact that one sold his asset alone will generate some form of desperation that will impact negatively on the decision taking of the gambler. So,  I do not support or encourage anyone to sell his assets because of gambling. Gambling should be done with spared funds, money we can afford to lose.

Most times when people do this kind of stuff, it isn't as a result of good eye, someone might have lost his or her job and stayed for months without any income or maybe someone being in a need to sort out the problem with money So, there is going to be a lot of negative thoughts about how to generate more money and selling these properties to gambling with the hope of doubling or tripling the money to settle their needs would seem like the best option to some. The bottom line is never put yourself on a pressure to go way borrowing money or selling properties to gamble, you should gamble responsibly, especially with the money that won't affect your financial strength.

He must have known he will be looked for as the only male child. That is one thing about societies that value male child or a particular child above the other, they then to misbehave and that is why the bible said spare the rod and spoil the child. Therefore, parents should train a child so that they don't have to misbehave especially not at tender age.


No I have not and don't intend to do that because gambling should be a responsible act.

Unfortunately, those addicted to gambling sell everything they have and they don't care about the outcome, all they want is to satisfy the need to get dopamine the reward hormone that will satisfy the feelings of gamblers, they are blinded and they do not even take consideration the hardships they undergo when acquiring these properties, that is why we see gamblers living miserably because they lose everything they have all because of the feeling that they are alive because of the dopamine.
Once you sell your property you are at the height of your addiction and there's a need for intervention because if there are interventions there is a possibility that the individual who is addicted to gambling will turn to crime just to sustain their addiction, their love ones should do their best to implement intervention to cure the addiction before its too late.
Here in our country, I read rumors of wealthy people and entertainment people losing all they have because of their addiction, it can happen to these people it can happen to anyone.

Anyone who gambles with money they can't afford to lose will regret it. Even those who win and take some money will do it again and sooner or later they will lose and get into trouble. It's responsible gambling, if you can't afford to play then don't.

This is just one of the unfortunate stories of people who have gone too far in gambling. Each of us has heard many such stories and probably there will always be such people who will not be able or will not know how to control themselves. Not much to say here other than "Don't be that person, be a responsible gambler"!

When we are young we do stupid things.
Thankfully, I am not stupid enough to go that far and sell things just for my gambling habits. For me, those who do that are only gambling addicts and I am far from that. I like gambling but I will never cross the line of selling my properties just to fulfill that urge. We can do so many things whenever we lose our budget for gambling. I like watching films, series, and anime and that keeps me occupied while I wait for the next date that I can gamble again.

We should not worry other people with our bad habits. We are playing to be entertained and not to stress people who are near us and who care for us.
That dude friend of yours is lucky because if that is my father, he would probably just let me be until I bring my sorry ass at home when I cannot take it anymore or I am too broke and my friends would not help me anymore.
He should change and appreciate them because this will be his second chance and I bet he won't do that again. Gambling can really ruin our lives at some point, we must keep the discipline if we want to just enjoy it.

No, and I hope it will never come to that point, you are out of your mind if you sell your property to gamble, that's a sign that you need to see a physician if you have thought that you want to sell your property because you need to bet because of the potential win, even if someone guaranty that the team I'm betting will win because there's no guarantee in gambling, these addicted to gambling knows this fact but they choose to continue because the gambling urge is stronger than how they value their property.
This is risky and you will end up penniless if there is no intervention, there are countless people who become poor because of gambling I personally know some people, and some of them are close to me.

Selling a property for gambling is not an option for me and I don't dare to do that.
I was not in a state of addiction where I couldn't think of the right things to do. It was a very unfortunate decision for a gambler to be made and this is the result of uncontrolled gambling habits. If not committing loans, some are selling properties, valuable things, and anything they have until they get empty and broke. And don't want to be in that situation which is why as early as possible, we must control our gambling habits because it was difficult when addiction started.

Make those people who sell their belongings an example of why we should minimize gambling. In fact, we can win and have fun using a small amount which is why it is not necessary to sell valuable items for capital.

That is why when gambling, a person must be able to allocate an amount of money that he can afford to lose. Using more money to gamble is never recommended, especially if he has to sell his property. But most people ignore this and deposit more money to gamble because they think it can give them more chances of winning. Even though that won't guarantee he can win, it could cause him to experience more losses. However, when someone loses their money, it will be difficult for them to recover their losses, especially if they sell their property. He will also find it difficult to replace the same property unless he can get a very big win, which we know is difficult. Instead of losing a lot of money, we should limit our gambling activities.

That's just one of the least disgusting thing an addictive gambler can actually do. In my neighborhood, I have seen it countless times how most of the young guy will come to the local betting shop an drop their phone as collateral, and start gambling, so when they have reach their limit after so many losses, they would come back like few weeks time to retrieve their phone, while some wouldn't even come back for it again.

Selling properties to gamble is even the least to me, comparing to most addictive gamblers that even go as far as kidnapping their own relative just to have money, so that they can keep up to the life gambling style, because they always feels like they can't do without it.

I can imagine how this happens. When a player comes up with this idea, it is as if he is flying on the wings of inspiration. He imagines how his life will change and will be beautiful and rich when he wins. But the reality will be much harsher, because the player does not think at all that failure may overtake him and then he will be left without an apartment. His main mistake is being overly optimistic and he simply doesn’t want to realize there is another option. After all, we all want to believe in the best.

By this I want to say that this is very risky, and the player must first imagine what he will do if everything does not go according to his optimistic plan. And think about the big win only later. There is no need to be an overconfident fool when it comes to real estate and gambling.

For me, as long as the property is yours and no one will be affected except you, then I think it's good, in the sense that I don't care what you will do; sell your own property that you've worked on because it's your own, and if no one will be affected, then it's good because you are the one that will suffer and face the consequences of your actions. But of course, if you are one of the family members of the gambler, then you have the conscience to stop that gambler from going further.

Everyone is right; a gambler who is willing to sell something's precious or hard work just for gambling is a scum, being swallowed by the desire and uncontrollable habit, so those who are experiencing this kind of phenomenon should wake up from what they are doing wrong; don't wait to turn back; don't wait to lose everything from you just for gambling.

You're on the top tier.

GEEZ if people already starting to sell their stuff in gambling. IMO, time to get a rehabs and sharing some story ask some help to manage your financial income. My gambling worst story only make me using all my money.

Never sell any stuff.

I never experience such bad habit and I will never sell any property to gamble because, my job can always provide me money to gamble anytime I want to gamble and, I will never encourage any gamblers to be addicted to gambling because that is the sign of addicted to gambling and whenever you start sell special things to gamble it always bring shame at the end

If you have something like that in mind to sell land or sell car to gamble, just know that it will not bring something good in return because, many people have embarked in such plan to make billions from gambling to buy another car or buy another land but their plans ended up in regret.

Sometimes I do wonder if some humans actually have conscience at all like why would someone sell an asset just because of gambling, an asset that is very expensive and can take you so many years to recover even if at all you can be able to recover it because most gamblers as soon as they sell an asset in other to play gamble maybe they succeed in the process they now form it as a habit of always selling their assets to play gamble forgetting to know that they can't be lucky all the time.

 It's really so bad with the length in which some gamblers go just to raise money to play gamble that is a game of chance, and the chances of even losing is greater than that of winning. Damn, some individuals are fucking mad I swear because no individual with the right sense of belonging would go extra mile as selling an asset to gamble unless the person is having some brain malfunction.

I didn’t have to sell anything for the game. But I had a good friend who was very “carried away” by gambling and began to get into debt and little by little take valuables out of his house and then from his parents’ house. It all ended very badly, he quarreled with everyone and lost respect for himself and as a result, after several years of an ugly life, he moved to another country and started everything from scratch. We no longer communicate from that moment. This was for me an example of how an excessive uncontrolled desire to play and win back can end and how it then it develops into addiction.

Selling property just to gamble is pretty fatal mistake and this is mistake that will definitely bring regret to anyone who does it, moreover gambling is risky place because when you lose all the money will be lost with nothing left.
And of course hopes will never always be realized or appropriate because hope is just dream that cannot or cannot be guaranteed to be achieved, we must understand that in life we cannot have all hopes or desires.
From this it is clear that selling property just to pursue the hope of gambling is not the right action.

No, I never did it and almost did it but didn't because the realization emerged in my mind that all of this would only bring problems or difficulties in the future.

Am not surprised at the level of his addiction. It is something that most gamblers do those values gambling more than their happiness. I believe there are more cases and scenarios that gamblers went extreme to gamble leaving themselves with nothing and a huge debt. Luckily for his guy he actually sold his parents car which is family. At least family can tend to understand. and forgive but imagine he sold his boss or colleagues car he would still be in serious debt no matter how many years he ran from the problem. However, the struggles and suffer he experience during those periods he ran is enough to make him change his ways and find a new path. Gambling shouldn't be by all means when you have you gamble and when you don't have you leave it. Only gamble when you have enough to spare, money for emergency funds shouldn't be used for gambling. Unless the gambler has made up his mind to accept the consequences if he eventually loses the game.

And I watched an interview about a young guy who liked to sell things from rented apartments. It's terrible. He was the favorite child in the family, and played football. But then I got involved with sports betting. When his parents sent him to study in another city, he began selling property. And someone else's. He sold all the appliances and all the furniture from the rented apartment! At the same time, when the landlady of the apartment called him and said that she would come, he was shocked.
I don't understand what ludomaniacs think in such situations?

I have only seen such cases in movies and online stories but nothing in real life even I know some people who are deeply addicted to gambling but they only gamble all the money they get paid like entire salary not endangering their properties in any way but things work differently in different places.

I don't think I will ever sell property to gamble and I know it's utmost stupid action that I can do.

One can sell an item and use the money to gamble, I don't think this is wrong. I can decide to sell an item that is no longer in use to fund my gambling account. I can get a new television and decide to sell the old one and use the funds for gambling. However, it becomes a problem when the selling of property is caused by gambling addiction. Selling a useful property because of the uncontrollable urge to gamble is a big problem and such a person needs support.

I have never sold my belongings just because I want to gamble. But I might consider selling items that I don't need to fund my bettings. Gambling is not an investment, hence selling properties that are useful and you cannot replace is a sign of gambling addiction.

Even selling your things just for you to gamble isnt really that something good but since its yours then you do have the full rights. It isnt really just that it wont really be that a good idea
for you to do so since you are really tolerating yourself to play even more and would be that becomes even more worst on the time that you are already tending to sell out those properties on which
this one really indicates that gambling addiction did already reach into a certain state that it isnt really that something that you could control and on the time that you do sell out
everything and lost it all. Then what would be the next?

For sure you would really be having those kind of realizations and would really be telling into yourself that you should havent done those things
but well its already too late and the damage has already been done.

I consider my collectible toys as property and I sold some of mine before just to fund my gambling. Not in the online casino but rather a PvP games with bets of real money on it. I’ve done this a lot during my college days but I’m proud to say that I’m not addicted since I believe on my skills while I need money backed it up.

I never done this just to play in a casino since it’s dumb to do that because casino has house edge advantage and most of the games is just luck based game. It’s just a waste of property if you will sold it just to gamble because there’s a high chance that you will lose than win so just leave your property alone because it’s price might mature in the future.

This is absolute madness,that a human being in his senses will sell what he has acquired for years to play gamble,it seems meaningless to me,but there are people who won't mind selling them as long as the game is fixed,infact there are people who are so daft,and won't even read or examine if the game will play or not.
Every game that needs to be played has to be checked and examined it probability of playing.Those who knows how to gamble, gambles reasonably because they know that no game is guaranteed or sure to play.

I really like buying things from gamblers, because they give very cheap prices far from the usual prices. I once bought a cellphone whose market price was around 500 USD, because I bought it from a gambler, I got a cheaper price, namely 300 USD. So I can save up to 200 USD, quite profitable isn't it. And it's not uncommon for me to buy goods from them to resell so that I can make a bigger profit than the price difference given by the gamblers.

Gambling addicts have very poor emotional control, which can lead them to make bad decisions. So when they sell goods, they will never think twice about selling goods at a cheap price, because the most important thing for them is to get some money so they can continue gambling. And they believe that if they continue gambling, they will get bigger profits, so they can recover the losses they experienced previously.

It is so unfortunate how most people in my area live such lives, because they feel it's Passion and love but it's all rendering them useless, homeless and unfortunate as well.

For me  even if I gamble just once it doesn't push me to go extra miles to sell property and all of that just to still remain in gambling.anyone that sells properties just to Gamble can never meet up to regain that property,it's only if they have backup from another angle so once they do,they can make it all out to replace it.
I think selling of properties should be discouraged in as much as you know what the outcome is all about.

Selling off properties and being in debt just to gamble is one big gambling madness that I still don't understand why a gambler will make them an option.  You are actually right, gamblers who sell off properties lack emotional control, this is why they only act on what their emotions tell them without considering what will happen if they don't win.

Someone made a post here earlier stating that overconfidence is one factor that makes gamblers do the unimaginable just to gamble. Yea, that is true because if not for overconfidence, what else will make a person sell off his properties with the hope of replacing them immediately?

Advice doesn't really work on most of these people, sometimes it is better to let them learn bitter lessons themselves, then, they will think twice next time when making any decision at all.

He must be a brat. There is no other else description for such a kid when described as the Unico Hijo and got forgiven no matter how huge the mistake is. And only to find out he sold it because of gambling. This has got to be the luckiest kid as still welcomed by the father like the prodigal son. Some people just have it all.

If it were my father, I wouldn't be able to walk out of our house walking. The neighbor would have to call 911 to save my ass if I sold his crappy car.
The only stuff that I have sold that wasn't mine I think was the tennis racket of my sister she kept. I'm not even sure if she found out that it's not there in the basement anymore.

I have never done it but someone in my neighborhood has done it and I witnessed it myself, he first pawned his motorcycle papers and then sold the motorcycle, after a few weeks the person told me that he sold his house for gambling, and he said he regretted it after what he had was sold for gambling, even to the cellphone he used to gamble, he sold it too and played gambling on someone else's cellphone.

Gambling addiction makes a person lose his mind and lose what he has, it is very dangerous, fortunately I gamble by looking at other people's track records and when I was addicted I saw many people who had a bad life so I reduced my addiction even though it took a long time, but it was effective as long as the determination to get rid of addiction never died in me. And of course getting it again will be more difficult because it requires effort and a long time.

Like someone whom spell was cast upon  ;D

It's a crazy world we live in, today people still get punished for what they don't know, this is why education is a must, the meaning of gambling alone carries everything you should know about gambling, when you hear predictions and luck you should have know what's coming.

For someone to sell their properties for gambling reasons sounds like a true madness, something that's only possible if they are bewitched or under the spell of a voodoo practitioner, still it happens, because I have heard about it a lot in my country.

If something like this happen to someone I know I won't dare feel sorry for them, they saw it coming and they deserve it, making money isn't this easy, and it will never be, you need to be a man of value, this is what will bring a lot of worth, success and riches in your life.

Indeed, in the world of gambling, we often see unique and strange things in the behavior of many gamblers.
For example:
Gambler sold his wife, minor daughter; family rescued by officials. (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.indiatoday.in/amp/india/story/gambler-sold-his-wife-minor-daughter-family-rescued-by-officials-1272893-2018-06-29)

And many other cases that occur against those who are addicted to gambling, if they are selling property, perhaps it is not unusual for us to see it often.

My advice is to gamble as much as you can and based on your economic level, don't be so pushy that you have to sell your personal belongings, just for the sake of gambling, gamble normally.

If a gambler sells real estate or other people’s property (like your friend’s father’s car), then this is the final stage of a gambler, almost close (or already so) to gambling addiction.

It is very easy to lose property in gambling, but to get it back is almost impossible. If such stories happened (with the buyback of lost real estate), then this is a rare occurrence. A gambler at this stage, if he receives a big win, will almost certainly lose everything again in the hope of increasing his deposit.

It's unworthy to experience someone selling off their property to gambling, that is not fare enough, even when the property is not an asset doesn't mean it cannot worth a value sometime in the future when we wanted to sell it, once we release such property for the purpose of gambling and we don't make it up for winning while gambling, it will be a thing of shame and disappoinment on us that we loose in two categories, our property and then the chances for winning the bet on gambling, this is one of the silly mistakes many do the landed them into troubles when they cannot be patient with gambling and have their money earned for it.

That's true, it's everyone's right, but what's clear is that doing something like that, in my opinion, is a wrong action, and I think if people have the courage to sell the property they own, it means they fully believe that gambling can provide promising wins. that person had been completely hypnotized to the point of daring to do this inappropriate action. and with actions like this I am convinced that the perpetrator is seriously addicted.

and if they have sold all the property they own then the perpetrator will most likely only face the ruin of their life, because by selling the property they own they have given it to the bookie, in the hope of giving them a big win but only to give them misery. Maybe if the perpetrator has lost all the property he owns, the perpetrator will only realize that what he did was a big mistake. things that should not happen are thoughts that are beyond reason, like this, in my opinion this action is included as an action that is beyond reason. perpetrators should not sell the property they own, if they still want to gamble it is better for them to look for work that earns money and limit their budget for each gambling. maybe that can help, but if they still don't have self-control then everything will be the same.

Like I said before selling property to gamble is not that bad, what matters is if you are a responsible or irresponsible gambler. I can decide to sell my belongings because they are useless to me and use them to fund my betting account. But it will be a shame if you are selling your property because of gambling addiction. It is the same as someone who is addicted to drugs, they can sell their belongings because they want to get high on drugs, But others would never sell a property because of drugs this is because they have control over such behaviour.  

Gambling is unpredictable this is why we should gamble responsibly. There's no guarantee of winning or losing so one should always approach it sensibly.  

There are many gamblers around the world who actually doing the same,  honestly a friend of mine went this kind of scenario and he sold his bike in order to play gamble and then like what other said my friend lost all his money and then he sell another thing to gamble once more but it ends the same and then after a months he talked to me and cried he is in regret why he sold his bike for nothing, why he sold some of their things for nothing. and now my friend are working starting this new life and new goal to buy another bike.

I haven't and have no plans at all. I understand how frustration works however if we would look to a bigger picture, does doing so would help you get back with what you lost? It'll just create a bigger risk of losing more money, basically. Good thing if you happened to win big and be able to buy your property back. Would be fortunate as well if you will buy it again for the same price 'coz if you won't, then that's another problem to solve. Much better to cool yourself down. If you had a bad day gambling, then accept how this industry works not only for you but to all of us. Betting more doesn't mean higher chances of winning, it is just higher number of trials. As I often say, luck is not in our hands however, our decision is under our control. We always have a choice whether to let ourselves be too hooked up with gambling. It is fine losing some dimes, but never allow to find yourself losing things you worked hard for.

Although selling property is bad to liquidate assets but I prefer doing that instead of loaning money for gambling in case I have only 2 option which I will not do in real life. Just referring that selling property is not the worst idea because you don’t owe someone with increasing until you can’t make the pay.

At least if your money come from property sales, You can gamble with less worrying on your repayment while you can have a chance to find a better one in case you win (fingers crossed ehem)  ;D.

But don’t do this bullshit srysly speaking!

This story highlights the dangers and devastating consequences of uncontrolled addiction. She reminds us of the urgent need to recognize and address issues of addiction with compassion and support, before they lead to irreparable choices and trigger a cycle of suffering for everyone involved. This is why it is so important to play in moderation.

I haven't really sold a property for the sake of gambling. But I have seen lots of people did that and it didn't end well for them. Gambling addiction is very bad and if you are not one or don't have one in your family it's a thing that's worth giving God thanks for. When you sell a property for gambling there is a high probability that you won't be able to replace that property again. Gamble only when you have money to fund it and when you are out of budget stay off gambling hall.

People who sell their property to play gambling are those who are stupid, someone's stupidity treats gambling like a living lantern that can give them a better life, a false hope of betting on something that is controlled by someone else's system. People who are stupid like that may not be many but not a few also end up crazy, lucky if there are still people who want to give him life and enthusiasm for life after losing everything after he spent his fortune on gambling.

Until now, as stupid as I am, I have never sold anything I have for gambling, except for a few small coins that I got from the airdrop that I got, I advise everyone not to do it even if gambling makes you happy, gamble with the money you have and are ready to lose it, never sell anything let alone property.

Normally having the habit of selling home property is not good lifestyle, because by the time one continues with such a life style their won't be nothing left to sell. Selling property to play gamble is not advisable and not a good lifestyle. Addiction can only be the reason one should think of selling property to raise money to play gambling.  That is why people needs to play gambling with caution and their should be a limit of how people play gambling,  and their should be a good understanding on how people see gambling.

What makes people to get addicted into gambling is because they think they can get easy money from gambling by continuous staking of games in gambling. If gambler try as much to understand gambling very well, they will play with caution and follow the gambling principles which will really be a guild not to go into addiction. Selling property to play gamble is very risky because gambling is unpredictable and it will be so painful if the gane turn to be lose at last.

Your case is understandable at least, selling off properties in order to have money for gambling is totally not a good idea but you sold your own properties and not others properties. I see majority of comments here saying it's addiction that causes it but I disagree with such opinions. Selling important and useful properties just to gamble has nothing to do with addiction but purely foolishness. You're just addicted and not senseless. Being addicted to gambling doesn't mean it will affect your sense of reasoning to start selling properly to gamble. We have addicted gamblers that are living a normal life despite their addiction. What I am trying to say in essence is to refrain from saying addiction is responsible for gamblers foolish act.

When the gambler reaches the peak of addiction, anything is possible. There are many gamblers who are addicted to gambling and do not hesitate to lose their last bit of money. Such gamblers must acquire a better understanding of gambling. Gamblers often forget that gambling is not a way to earn money or that there is no certainty even if it takes a long time. I have met some addicted gamblers who have even sold their houses. Moreover, if the history of these gamblers can be discovered, there may be more information about their loses. As a gambler I think we should all limit ourselves in gambling. Gambling with property should never be done for the sake of money.

Gambling is a bad addiction and it is a bad thing in the eyes of society. Because of this, gambling should always be kept secret and gambling should only be used for recreational purposes, but when someone decides to sell his house to gamble, he can considered to be a true addicted  gambler. But how can a person do that?  Can gambling be so important to someone?  Some people take loans to gamble, I did it once too, but it is very sad that someone will sell their home for gambling.

Gamblers become addicted to gambling because they think that if they win a big jackpot from here they will become rich, so they only need 1 big win. They continue to gamble with that hope. This is called addiction. Greed of money blinds people. That's how the guy in the op's story decided to sell his house because gambling would multiply his money and he think he/she can buy multiple houses later with that money.

Then I guess that you don't know the damage that addiction can do to someone. This is the reason why gamblers are advised to have self discipline in their gambling activities, and see gambling as fun and not a means of making profit. Those people that are selling properties to gamble have been eaten up with addiction and they find it hard to control themselves because they don't believe that they will lose that money, but rather they think that they can use that money to win back what they lost.

They will use the house as a collateral to collect money for gambling, and before you know it they will lose the money and will still need more money which might finally make them come to conclusion of selling it believing that they can stull win back the money and take back the house. Unknown to them that they have made the greatest mistake of selling the house because they will never win back the money to buy back the house. These are chronic gamblers. Addiction can fustrate and make someone useless and ruin his life.

Selling a property is probably an extreme and rare case for gamblers. If someone hasn't noticed they had a problem by that point, then that person's family and friends failed them.

I have never sold property or anything but time to gamble.

I known people who steal anything they can see, even their families' homes, including money, gold, and even household utensils. anything that they can sold just to buy drugs. Also, gambling addiction makes you make irresponsible decisions that put you and your surroundings in danger.
I have no experience in the field, but I know that a good gambler has a strategy that he follows, he is always aware of all the risks. He knows when to double, when to take a break, and when to stop. He is either the winner or comes out with the least losses. everything has a role, not just luck. .
A person must study his decisions before making them, and if he did he must take the responsibilities , everything has limits

These what being addicted to gamble can make a gambler do, you don't have to become addicted to these stage when you will be selling of property to gambe.
I could say the parents of the boy are the ones who's doing everything else that makes the boy to spoil to the way he's right now.
He sold the cars and gamble with the money then ran away but came back to the parents and the parents didn't get the chance to correct him.
Addicted to gamble will make a gambler that doesn't have a good idea of what gamble is to always do the wrong thing.
The addicted was thinking if he will win and buy a better car for his parents while he didn't know that gamble is of 2 different options either you win or the others ways. The child is back and he didn't hurt him self, that's the most important thing as there are some gamblers who have been in a serious situation like this but still ended their life.

When you’ve gone really deep. Deep enough to fall into addiction, selling a property would not seem like anything. Someone that has gone that deep would do just about anything to be able to get some money to be able to satisfy the desire they so desperately want.
That’s what addiction does to people. Irrespective of the vices/activity involved, addiction would make you do something you wouldn’t ordinarily have thought about doing. Selling one’s property is not surprising as an addicted person would do much more to get some money. Crazy, but it’s sadly true.

This reminds me of myself in the past when I sold a lot of things to invest in bitcoin as it was an investment that I consider very safe, that's why I wasn't afraid to sell all my things and invest in bitcoin, but I didn't sell anything to keep playing In casinos, I didn't sell anything because of gambling. even when I got into gambling a few years ago and I was very naive at that time, even then I was able to set a big limit for myself and that limit was that at no point should I sell something to continue playing, I also put a certain money limit in which if I lost all the money, then I would stop playing for a long time and that's what happened, I had losses

but then thanks to the great luck I had, I managed to recover my losses and decided to stop gambling for a long time, but here in my country I've seen stories of people who sold cars to gamble and lost everything and then committed suicide, just last month There were more than 3 people who sold things to throw at the aviator and lost everything, as they couldn't face their relatives so they chose to commit suicide. In this month, which only has 7 days, there has already been 1 case of a person from my country who sold everything to play at the aviator and lost, as he lost everything at the aviator game so he decided to commit suicide. one of the biggest problems with selling a good to keep playing in a game of chance

and that after a person loses in a gambling, the person starts to feel guilty, and as he constantly thinks about that good he sold, there comes a time when he starts to get depressed, and because of depression the person commits suicide. That's why I don't advise anyone to sell assets to finance gambling, don't make this serious mistake because this is the kind of thing that leads to depression and suicide

Unfortunately, our advice for a gambling addict will not make any sense. Because it is very difficult to understand addicts and gamblers are willing to sell all their assets even if they know they will lose at any cost. Someone who is willing to sell their house for gambling needs treatment.
We must also remember that resources will run out at some point. If a gambler sells his or her last remaining financial assets, there is a very high probability that he or she will commit suicide next. My advice to the gamblers in my circle is always to gamble in such a way that they will not be upset if they lose, no matter what the circumstances.

The height of gambling addiction is taking what doesn't belong to you to gamble. You could sell your own personal properties and gamble with it, which I don't encourage but taking someone else's belonging without the person's consent is the same as stealing. Gambling addiction is like a deep hole, when you keep digging it's difficult to come out and people do all sorts of crazy shits when they're at the depth. Personally, I don't like selling my properties for any reason, and if I don't have need for it, I'll give it out.

This sort of topic comes up all the time here on this board and it's really the same discussion answer across the board with these types of topics.  Anyone who's addicted to gambling should seek help so that it never gets as far as you're actually willing to sell your property just to keep your gambling addiction alive.  What's next, robbing people?  Seek help for sure!

Lol, while some are looking for a property to buy, others are willing to sell it to put all the money in risk with serious risks of getting nothing in return... It's so hard to accumulate money to do so, that I think it would be a big waste of money to focus in gambling instead of building or maintaining a solid patrimony. As we know most gamblers aren't profiting on long run, it's expected most of them won't be able to replace the same property again in the future with money made from gambling. Their only chance will be to recover the money someway else through another means which don't involve betting.

In my opinion it's very crazy that someone reaches to the conclusion they should sell a property to gamble, considering all the risks involved. It means this person isn't taking seriously the rule of respecting their financial limits in gambling. Someone who sells a property to gamble must be desperate for chasing some deep losses they faced in the past and can't recover through smaller budgets anymore.

Let's live gambling and talk about using emergency money to bet. It's very bad how people risk amount that can land them in hospital for gambling, some months ago it was reported in this board how a guy drink insecticide for using money he borrowed from his friend and it turned out that the best was loss and he committed suicide, that's a lost from him and loss to his family. Some gamblers think they are smart but the companies are smarter and that's why they have remain in business for many years because only few of us win from gambling.

I will never sell my property for any form of investment not talk of gambling because it's not like having a job that selling your property will get your a stable source of income. If it's $20 a month I have to gamble, that's what I will use and nothing will be added to it even when I win or lose because it's doesn't worth it, you will run from poor man to becoming homeless.

Anybody who sells his or her property just to gamble, I consider such a person to be someone who has already become addicted to gambling. Two things I always think are that anybody who sells or borrows money to gamble is already addicted to gambling because these people are not doing all this with their normal senses; they follow their feelings to do all this. However, these things make gamblers start running up and down and seeking financial assistance, which is not the normal thing to do.

Some of them feel that after they win the ticket, they will replace what they sold, forgetting that they are trying their luck, and even after winning, sometimes returning the property becomes a big problem for them, so the only thing that is better for all gamblers is for them to gamble responsibly and use the amount they can afford to lose.


They don't know when they will sell their properties. The only thing they think of at this moment is for them to see money and derive pleasure because they are already addicted to gambling, so even if you tell someone who is already addicted to gambling to not sell, they will still do that, so the only thing is that they should go responsible.

More precisely, severe addiction is one of the few reasons leading to the sale of assets but some other reasons included are heavy loans and excessive dedication to gambling, this dedication is so much that one player feels regretful, hoping to regain justice with what is left but instead of a grand return, it was a worse return. Addiction cannot completely force us to sell assets, only the phone rings as well as strangers with papers that have our borrowed signatures, surrounded by such reasons, the only way to find a bright path is to sell everything to cover everything for a little stability and wait for the restart.

A real lie, by gambling someone can make a profit and multiply their wealth.

What actually happens is that many people lose their money due to their own actions, namely gambling carelessly. They lose money in gambling and they try hard to return the money by continuing to bet, even though they have to take out loans or sell valuables. And that is very obvious stupidity. but I am happy to do business with them gamblers, because I can get luxury goods that are far from the real price.

In gambling, winning is a possibility and losing is a certainty. So it would be ridiculous if we bet using all the money we have, which we might not be ready to lose. Gambling has a fairly high risk of losing money, so we have to be wise and reasonable. So that the pleasure we get from the gambling we do does not turn into suffering and regret.

Once you do already reach out into that point then consider yourself to be already addicted or simply out of your mind. You would really be sleeping on the streets soon.  :D

As long you do have the property that you could sell out then it wont really be stopping or slowing you down and as an addicted person then this would really be done continously
until you would be selling it all and this is really just that sad for those people who are really that ending up on this way. They wont really be able to learn a lesson
until the time that they would really be experiencing the worst. So for those who do able to stop mid-way then its good for them but if not then that would
be ending up on disastrous thing.

Before you decide whether to sell real estate (although - if one is obsessed - it's a bit hard to talk about common sense), you need to assess how successful you can be at betting small amounts of money. Yes, the winnings - if any - will be very small, but it will give an opportunity to evaluate your prospects.

This is a proof that your parents will always love you, doesn't matter what you do. People go to jail and their friends and wives leave them but a mother will always come to visit because the child can be a criminal and a lowlife but still a child she brought to life.

I'd never steal from my parents. I had my differences with them and we often didn't speak to each other, but I never came begging for money and I never took any of their stuff without asking. You may be tempted at times, but remember that they won't live forever and one day you'll think of what you did to them and that you can no longer tell them you're sorry because they're gone.

My father used to always tell me: be good to your parents because you'll regret being bad when they're gone. He's dead now and I tell you that he was right.

Selling property to fulfill your gambling desires is the stupidest thing. How could he risk the money from selling property on something that is uncertain, especially when gambling, the potential for your real loss in front of your eyes is 90%.
However, in fact, this often happens to lower middle class people, they sell property to bet on gambling where they hope that gambling is the fastest way to double their money. But without realizing it, they have fallen into a dark trap.
Wouldn't it be wiser if the money was used as capital to open a new business or short-term investment capital where the risks of losing money can be minimized as small as possible. Yes, but it's called addiction, he will definitely do everything he can to continue gambling even if what he does is criminal.

if I have such people in my house then if anything should go missing I will hold them responsible people will you be comfortable stealing people's things just for drugs and gambling just now that you mentioned it I noticed something with people who are addicts they are always one way or the other always involve with drugs and whatever money they get even from gambling all will be used to take drugs. and people like that would have put their family in a lot of problems because people like that are always not far from police cases so at the end of the day, their families will be the ones to be bailing them out of jail. some folks gamble well but at the same time, they are responsible and would not do anything reckless to people around them. and the issue of luck is not even every time, so what happens when you don't win i think the next thing will be stealing and that is why being greedy is a very bad behavior.

No one knows when is the right time to double your bet, or a way to double their money. Many people are aware that taking a break from gambling after continuous loss is a good thing however not all gamblers could actualize the idea 'coz of their drive to perhaps regain their loss or to get rich quickly. Everyone gets to lose and some gets to win, this is the reality of gambling 'coz if not, many gamblers should be rich by now.

If you are on the extent of selling some of your belongings, then you better worry of yourself. As others have mentioned, properties and things are more likely fruit of your long hours of work. Therefore, would you be okay losing it in an instant? To be frustrated us normal but never allow your emotions play for you. Never wait or even be interested of being one with retired gamblers who made testimonies of how bad gambling ate them. You always have a choice of things.

I faced such a situation once in the past. Once I was forced to sell my bicycle because I had no money in an offline gambling event and could not manage money in any other way. Although in this case I profited from the gambling session of bicycle money and later I did not return the bicycle. It was an experience in my life that I never made such a mistake again but only bet when I could manage gambling money. Don't bet on gambling by borrowing or selling anything. If the gambling can be done by borrowing or selling something, there will be no other option but to go bankrupt in a short period of time.

Selling your own property? Fine, sometimes you have no other way to pay, but selling property that doesn't belong to you like that friend of OP is out of the question.
I never had to do it and I hope I never will, but it's really easy to fall into a debt spiral.
You should never borrow money or sell things to make a bet because gambling is not only a financial but also a mental burden. If you lose your own money it's hard. You lose money you took from someone, it's even harder. You sell someone's property without asking them that's not only a mental breakdown level of burden but can also be a criminal offense. You'll end with no money, no self respect and in jail.

Honestly for myself I have never sold anything whether it's a laptop, cell phone or even the smallest item that is not too valuable just to gamble, because usually I will gamble when I really have money from the rest of my life's needs, for example if there is an amount left after I buy the necessities to live for a month then usually I will put a few percent (no more than 10%) to gamble.

On the other hand I think it's pretty reckless to sell something just to gamble, I already know and really always focus my mind on the possible risks in gambling and with this then I can ensure that if I am that desperate to sell some items then in the end it will still be lost, or I mean I already know that in the end the result is the same which means I lose the items I have along with losing money in gambling from the sale of these items. Yes, however, this is a life lesson and I hope that you or whoever it is will not repeat the same mistake, on the other hand gambling should be fun and just for leisure when bored and it is definitely not recommended to put seriousness into activities that do not have any certainty about the results.

Recklessness in gambling may mean taking the risk to some gamblers. They consider the odd and the amount they stand to win if they stake a higher amount and then they seek any means to raise the amount of money just so that they can gamble with that very high odd. The very irresponsible people they would applaud the reckless gambler for taking such a risk in gambling, and if they win from it, they are seen as the ultimate risk takers, their actions now motivating the younger gamblers to become reckless too. Recklessness is far from taking risk, it is different. If you sell off something small to gamble you also have the chance of selling something bigger as your addiction to gambling increases.

To the point that I would sell a property just to play gambling, that was a crazy thing to do.

I was able to sell several of my stuffs before and some part of the money went to gambling. But it doesn't mean I sold my stuff just for that. I just allocated some to gambling and still, a large portion of that money went into necessary things.

In the future, and by any chance, I can consider selling a property but obviously, not meant for gambling purposes.

For the person it's seen as nothing but for others that can truly see them, we know they are actually destroying their life's with the act so it's best to take to action whenever we see such persons. I had a friend who constantly go to this particular extreme, the guy sells all his property just to fulfill his urge and nothing on this earth that someone would tell him that he would concur.

In his case we had to go to the extreme and that was when his case had to be taken for rehabilitation, which was the only hope and place that he might actually get recovery.

I mean at a certain point your gambling has become toxic and selling property to gamble is well beyond toxic.  When ypu get to the point that ypu are selling off hard assets just to gamble that's when it's time to look for help.  I mean you might be able to lose that property and not have it affect you too much personally but at a certain point that will lead to cases where it will start affecting your personal life.

I will admit that I'm a gambler, but I never went to far as to sell my property just continue with my gambling addiction. It's the worst that you can do, specially like houses or car that you and your family used or living. These gamblers who do this is really beyond repair, although I think they could really be help professionally. But at that time their judges is really clouded and we might say that they really don't know what they are doing.

But in any case, I don't wish anyone here to do that far and sell because they are really that addicted.

Going this far means the person needs help since he can't resist this temptation then go on more riskier side. Addiction is serious issue and if we came to the point that we sell our valuable asset just to fill up our gambling for sure we will end up broke with that. I maybe a gambler to but I don't have any plans to follow this action nor think about doing it since for me gambling is only a past time but unfortunately there are other people cannot handle well their activities that's why they are in trouble and on verge of getting broke just because of their wrong expectation about gambling.

Someone need to step up on his side so he can get immediate help and his addiction will not grow bigger since there will be more worse thing to happen if they let the guy became more addicted on his activities done.

Now, if only people who did the same thing would be required by law to live their lives alone without support, wouldn't everyone suddenly be rehabilitated? That's me being more joking but still slightly serious about entertaining the idea since really, in this day and age? You can see a LOT of the younger audience having no sense of responsibility whatsoever with their actions since they know they're only getting a slap on their hands and nothing more.

As for selling properties or anything to fund my gambling, I happily haven't had the chance to do so nor would I ever do that. I'm pretty glad I wasn't able to back in the past when I was still not in control of how I should finance my gambling since there was a pretty high chance I would've done that exactly if given the opportunity.

My uncle also did the same, it turns out that my uncle also gambled and he was also very addicted to it, he used up all the money he brought with him from gambling and he didn't have anything else to bet what he did was bet on their new car just to get back the money that was lost to him but the ending also lost the car, the worst thing is that aunt bought and paid for that car and it is not yet full payment. That's why everyone is angry with him, including his brothers, his son.


They are so addicted to gambling that they do bad things, I don't get why they have to bet their properties, they can stop gambling when they have no more money. Let's not be too greedy because we know how dangerous gambling is, we know that it has ruined many lives, families, etc. Let's not even dream of adding to those. Control yourself, think of your family first before you do anything. I also gamble but not every day, because there is a big chance of becoming addicted to gambling if you gamble every day. Give yourself a limited time to gamble, also set a budget so you don't chase your losses.

Maybe that guy was now in a desperate situation. We don't know the real story behind it and we can assume that maybe he did that not just for the sake of gambling but the person is currently facing several debts. Because of being desperate, his mind got corrupted, and he wasn't able to know what was the right thing to do. He also didn't ask for help or even share his problems with his family.

I hope gamblers who are now in a desperate situation can find a way to escape that kind of situation.

This was the biggest decision by the gamblers,because now a days assets creation is not the easy one.The gamblers should keep their savings for the longer periods of time to buy any assets for example land.If the gamblers had good experience in the gambling they can sell their land to get the capital,but the capital should be multiplied by the gambling games.If the gamblers doesn’t have any unique strategies for the games.It was better to avoid of the selling land for the gambling games.It will become a biggest risk for the gamblers in his life.Even I had come across my friend who multiple land using the money from selling land.

I have no personal experience to this but I was a witness when I saw my uncle destroyed his life in gambling when I was in high school.

This started a few years back when my uncle was living his life- he had his own car, a very beautiful girlfriend, and a supportive grandparents who took care of him ever since he was a kid. Well, you can say that he is somehow of a spoiled brat as he was also suffering from ADHD. Unfortunately, there was an incident that happened in his workplace (he was HR) that led the management to terminate his job and position at his workplace.

This is where the downfall started- he lost his job, his girlfriend, and he also did drugs and gambling at the same time. During some random nights, I can hear my grandmother crying since she said that my uncle sold his designer bags in order to fund his drug and gambling addiction at the same time.

To cut the long story short, it has been more than 10+ years and my uncle, in this very same day, is still suffering from these addiction. His life is somehow ruined given the fact that he cannot sustain himself anymore as he has no job. Our family tried to help him but he was eaten by these addictions to the point that he kept on sharing gambling posts and theories with everyone.

I agree, the story is heartbreaking. Selling property due to gambling addiction is a horrible reality, and your friend is a prime example of its devastating consequences. 3 years of wandering, alienation from his family is a huge price to pay for a momentary flash of excitement. Many people fall into the same trap. Gambling addiction can quickly spiral out of control and the consequences can be devastating. Never sell your assets for the sake of gambling. The risks are simply not worth it. p.s. Fortunately I do not have a gambling addiction so I do not even allow the thought of selling any of my assets for the sake of gambling as well as committing any other illegal actions

Even how deep am I in gambling, it's hard for me to imagine that I will sell my property just to gamble. I will sell my property because of an important reason, emergency, or urgent need of money but not for gambling. Won't do such a thing for a crazy idea. Never. I don't understand why there are people who have the guts to do that thing.

It's not wrong to spend money on gambling but be responsible enough to know the consequences.

He is a prodigal son since he came back ;D Anyway, Do you have any information on him currently? I mean… for someone who has such addiction for gambling, what is he doing right now that he has reunited with his family? If he has a job is he doing it well? Or is the addiction just the same? I’m writing this questions to remind that even if he is sorry for what he did, he can do it again if he isn’t treating the addiction.

As someone who has never sold any of my movable assets, financial assets or digital assets to gamble, I think this is extremely illogical because there is never a guarantee of winnings in gambling. I also think that someone who sells any of his/her assets to gamble is addicted to gambling because someone who doesn't have enough money will never have a priority to gamble and if he/she sells a product he/she will use the money he/she gets from it for the expenses he/she needs to continue his/her life.

In addition, I think that the money obtained by selling any asset shouldn't be used in gambling, even in gambling such as sports betting where there is a possibility of predicting the outcome or making a winning prediction.

I agree, it is indeed unfortunate how many people get addicted to gambling and sell their properties just to keep on gambling.

I think selling things is a late stage symptom of addiction. But the same symptoms of addiction go for anything else that you can get addicted to. That is because an addiction is a neurochemical disbalance in the brain. There is no way to see it coming, because we are all only human, after all.

I personally have never sold any belongings to fuel my gambling habit. But then again, I am not addicted to gambling. Nor do I know anyone who sold anything (other than cryptocurrencies) to finance their gambling.

Seeing such addicted gamblers is very sad because they are willing to sell their valuables just because they want to continue gambling, who knows what they are thinking so they take big risks that they have to bear, selling property is fine as long as the money is used for other needs, not for gambling, because we don't know, the more we take risks, the greater the risk of losing. Moreover, if you sell your valuable property just to gamble, you will only regret it because maybe you will not be able to recover your losses and instead you will lose money from the sale of your valuables.

Luckily, I gamble only with the money I can afford so I never even think about selling property just because I want to gamble, I sell my valuables only for urgent and more important needs. While gambling is not that important to me so I don't want to sell property just because they want to carry out gambling activities.

Even if you want to sell real estate for gambling, you should at least collect statistics on how successful you are in the game. And these statistics should be multi-year. Only then would it make sense to sell the property. Although, in my opinion, this is still a stupid decision from a risk management point of view. If you take out a loan, then no more than 25% of your net worth. Otherwise, there is a chance that you will fall deep into debt. This is an extremely unpleasant thing and you will have to repay the loan with interest or declare yourself bankrupt.

This is what happening in real world, and many gamblers already did this unfortunately some didn't survive the stress of this addiction.
I will never fall into this kind of trap, this is also why I limit my gambling exposure as much as possible, and make sure that my properties will never be consumed just for the purpose of gambling. Always have your budget and gambling plans, don't put yourself on a situation where you will feel depressed, gambling is supposed to entertain you and not to consumed you.

We should never let gambling take over our lives. It's a big mistake. Selling things is easy but it's not easy to replace what you have lost.

I am yet to get to that point yet. I wonder how it will feel like to me to have the urge to gamble so bad that I have to come under undue pressure and stress to sell off a personal item. But I guess it's already too late because I have already set some measures in place to checkmate this feeling.

hopefully, that never happens in the future, either for you or for me.
Honestly, I almost never got to that point. It's not an item of great value, just a cell phone, it happened quite a long time ago. Now I have controlled myself and will only bet with the money I have limited to play with.
but I have a friend who sold his motorbike just to get money for gambling capital. it was not good, but his ambition to play was too big. especially because his friends accompany him to play, so he doesn't play alone. Maybe friends will encourage him to continue playing longer until he is finally determined to sell the assets he owns.
That's why it's better when we want to play online casinos to do it ourselves, to avoid things like that.

When you're want to sell something or take someone else money for gambling, it means you shouldn't gamble in the first place.

I never had an experience to sell my property to gamble, it's really dumb and since I has many way to entertain myself, I don't feel gambling is a must for my live when I'm poor.

Anyone who sells their goods just to gamble will usually not find a happy ending from it. Most of them will end up losing more money than they should, because their greed brings them disaster. This can also lead to a broken relationship, if the items being sold are items from parents that they should not be selling. That's why no matter how desperate you are, if you don't have money, it's best not to gamble because when you force yourself to gamble, you will usually lose more money.

Are you okay now though? That's a serious thing already if you start selling high price items, thank God that there's people like you that I meet on this forum sharing their woes and experiences because I'm learning from the experience of other people and end up not committing the same mistakes, I can't imagine selling all the expensive stuff that I collect over gambling and then losing it all over again, that's definitely a heartbreaking thing to happen, hopefully you're fine now. I haven't sold anything of value yet to help with my gambling habits, so I'm all good.

There's no happy ending with that but rather it would really be having that miserable life once you have sold out all of your property because of gambling. This is why its never been that recommendable that you should really be doing such act just because you've been that you do able to play via with those sold properities. Yes, its a big money but doesnt mean that it would really be just that easy not to spend those funds.
We do know on how fast a certain individual would be able to bust up all of the gambling capital allocation in a span of time. Even if we do say that those having that huge bankroll due to some
sale but doesnt mean that it would be completely putting you up on such advantage.

You would really be only be able to realize those things on the time that you wont really be having any money on your pocket on which you could really that make use of.
There's no way that you cant really be notice it out but well regrets do really happen at the end.

Many people do things as he says, especially if it is related to gambling. I have also met people who even sold their assets, such as gold, just to be able to continue gambling. It might be a mistake, but we don't know what is going through that person's mind, and even if they have made such a mistake, they still cannot reduce their gambling activities. But if he can recover from everything, it is a very big blessing that he can cure himself from gambling. Playing gambling carries the risk of losing money and we should be able to control ourselves when gambling and not spend a lot of money because of the temptation to win a lot of money. We still have difficulty winning big wins, so we don't need to try too hard when gambling.

Oh! I didn't know about that. Yes, are you OK Oshosondy? it sounds like you are/were a bit anxious when you did what you say. I hope you learnt the lesson as you said: the sooner we fail and learn about our failures, the better.

It's hard to believe that this happened to such a sensible member of this community, but if it happened to you, nobody is risk-free.

Selling a property to play gamble? I actually rarely hear this but I do believe there is people who sell everything to gamble. Maybe he/she is highly addicted, tho I hear there is a person who sells a house for gaming I don't know what people think but it is what happens.

here in my country Indonesia there is also a similar case in people sell cattle for slots https://palpos.disway.id/read/635784/pengembala-jual-sapi-juragan-demi-judi-slot this is the risk if you cant control your emotion and don't have gambling budget to play so careful guys

Only irresponsible gamblers sell off their valuable properties to play bets, that is such a stupid thing to do because you are not even sure what the outcome of the game is going to be and you can quickly lose that money. If you sell something valuable, you ought to put the money into an investment, so it can generate returns for you later. If you sell something of zero value, then that may not be a problem, but selling your land or car is stupid, and that gambler needs help.

I dont think an addicted gambler would realize that after being under the pressure of huge debt. I haven't heard of someone doing this before, but all I know is, someone sold their house and lot to pay the huge debt caused by gambling, not because he needs capital to gamble. That was an eye opener for him and when he was asked if he regrets it, he said no, because he learned something valuable after he lost his property he worked hard for so many years.

Me sold property? nah, not even a single thing I sold to make a capital in gambling or pay for gambling debts. I always kept my gambling habits and expenditures at a minimum. Though sometimes I went more than the budget intended for gambling, but still I didn't encounter any financial problem.

I have also come across people who are willing to sell assets such as jewelry to use for gambling, and I think they do it because of desire and addiction because they are tempted by the winnings they see there.
Yes, it's true that we have to be able to control ourselves when gambling, because gambling is an activity where we let the money we have easily disappear very quickly and we have to be ready to accept it all, the risk is very big and to recover the money we lost is impossible done. easy.

Lucky for me that I have never experienced it and I hope that will never do it. Selling property for gambling should be avoided, it is just a proof of hard addiction. Selling property to gamble means that this gambler has no more money in his pocket, means that this gambler force himself to do everything to get some money to fulfil the addiction. Maybe there is a different case; someone has decent money in his pocket or bank account to buy a new property then he decide to sell it and use the money to gamble. In this case, I think it is fine.

Unfortunately regret always comes after we lose it and that happens to most people who sell their property to gamble.
Then what can we produce and it turns out we are only forced by the desire to produce an uncertain victory.
That's why gambling plays a much more dangerous psychological role because people lose awareness in making choices and this awareness is not a loss of sight but a loss of reason to verify the truth that we will face.

Until now, I have never sold valuable property for gambling and all I have done is sell my cellphone when I was still seen gambling.
Currently I am not very active in betting or any form of gambling because when deciding to gamble I usually look at the budget, because we have responsibilities as the main thing that must be fulfilled. Regret will definitely come later and it's best to decide something based on a clear mind.

A person who is addicted may not think that he will have difficulty buying property again because what is on his mind is how to fulfill his desire at that time, namely gambling, even though he has to sell his assets even at below market prices because of the need to immediately fund his gambling.

I've never done that or even thought about doing it because so far I'm still gambling within predetermined limits, even gambling with the proceeds of debt has only ever been done once and even then with fairly careful calculations because there are funds that can immediately pay off the debt.

Never sell anything because you want to gamble, this was how a guy lost everything he has in his room, he sold his generator at first and lost the money, he get on and sold him Ultra Wide monitor that costs a lot and still lose everything.

This went on for a while and his room got empty, it was at this moment he waked up, saying he messed up, now is started working hard to get those properties back again, gambling is not gold investment, it's not buying Bitcoin and hold kinda of investment.

The only money that fits gambling is the type that you have left after paying your bills and after you've do the needful in your home, it's a risky way to make money, it deserves only few percentage because winning has no guarantee but I bet you that losing is more guaranteed in gambling.

I am not that addicted at all and if I ever be, I'll never attempt to sell my property just to fund my addiction.

A property that came from hard work and especially if that's your first ever acquired property, there's sentimental value on it. Someone who has decided to sell his property because he no longer has any money left to gamble must be stopped.

At this time, housing rates are way terribly high and that's not a good idea to sell your properties just to sustain your addiction. What's next after selling it? You'll have hard time acquiring it back because there's already the interest and what if the buyer don't want it back to you?

I've done that before; I sold my phone to pay my friend back after he gave me some money to keep in my bank account because he doesn't have one. I then decided to use the money to gamble before he should have asked for it; I would have made a large profit, but I didn't realize that I was doing it completely wrong until I lost all of the money in the gamble and had no other way to make money. When he began requesting the money from me, I kept giving him some excuses, but later I understood that wouldn't solve the problem. Instead, it would be best for me to sell my phone to recover the money so that I could start over.

Being addicted to gambling is a very dangerous. Despite having a source of income, we don't have to gamble. I've learned my lesson and made a promise to myself not to gamble ever again. I haven't gambled with my money since then because I know how hard I worked to purchase a new phone at the time.

Maybe yo'll make a decision that you don't like when you aren't addicted yet. It's better if we could prevent ourselves from getting addicted in gambling as it could result to doing things like this. Some even became homeless because of gambling addiction, they sold their houses and cars, and everything they can sell just to finance their gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction it is, because gambling alone will not ruin our finances, since the definition of gambling is entertainment, we get ourselves entertain but with limitation so the risk of getting addiction is not high.

At least you already have that experience because not everyone has bitter experiences so you don't do it in the future or just remind anyone you know and you can advise them. Learning from your experience is good enough, especially being able to get out of it and realize it before losing more. actually it depends on how you want to gamble at that time, whether you want to win and big money or just entertainment, usually if it's just entertainment you won't sell your cellphone at that time, but unfortunately it has already happened and you have to make it a valuable experience for yourself.

I hope you can buy your cell phone back because I'm sure it has a lot of memories in it which are probably more valuable than the price of the cell phone. The point is that if you want to make money it's best not to gamble but just work or do any business that can make money other than gambling because gambling is not a place to make money let alone instant wealth, so far I have had the same experience and the most important thing is never to sell any of our property just because we want to finance our gambling.  ;D

Yes, I like this solution when we bought everything we needed and only then allowed ourselves to play gambling. Moreover, if we lose, under no circumstances should we touch these things for sale and further play. This cannot be done about real estate at all; this is what allows us to have a roof over our heads; if we lose it, we will have to pay rent, which places an additional financial burden on us. I don't want to offend those people who sold their property to play more, but I think they are absolutely stupid. This is a step that we may regret for the rest of our lives. I would never do this, even if I had 2 houses.

Recently sold something but with no intention to gamble with the money as it was used to pay off recent debt.
But once those bills were paid had some left over and used the funds to put towards the balance used to gamble with.
That was a small amount a few hundred not in the range a property would be gained of in the hundred thousands.
Seems they need to go into rehabilitation or take a vacation with that sort of money instead.

While I've never sold anything for gambling, your story hits home for me. It shows both how destructive addiction is and how strong and flexible people are. Your friend's serious case shows the darker side of gambling addiction and how terrible it is for people and their families.

Gamble for fun, not to lose all your money. I've always thought it was important to play safely, to know the difference between a harmless flutter and a dangerous obsession. Self-awareness and moderation are very important.

Your story of recovery is moving and instructive. No matter how far someone falls, healing is always possible, even if its hard. Our relationships can save us from danger, so we should value and protect them.

That is really sad and unfortunate. Just to satisfy your itch and eagerness to gamble, you will sell some of your assets. Which, in the first place, can help you earn more money than gambling? That car can be rented out to give you passive income. It is much better to have properties like that than to gamble every day. Gambling causes too much stress if you are gambling with money that is valuable.


For this one, I technically did not sell a property just to use for gambling. But I did use some of my savings to try gambling. I just thought that I would discover an easy way to use gambling as a passive income. But ended up losing. Well, I guess there is no sure bet in gambling. It is a lesson learned for me, and I will not do it again (or maybe not, lol).

main thing is: you should not gamble with money that you can't afford to lose
that is basic, step one, all the other rules will suppose this basic one is known and understood.

think in terms of risk and rewards, if you're risking too much betting a thing you can't afford to lose, it's not worth the potential reward.
a little bit of a reducionism but it works most of the time.

I am not addicted to gambling, and never have I  ever been addicted to the extent that I should even consider selling any of my properties or my father's properties all for the sake of raising money to or for gambling, for I think this is possibly one the stupidest thing anyone can do.

I've actually heard tales of some people who either sold their phones, television and other types of gadgets, even cars and so on, and used the money raised for gambling, this is something we all must discourage people from doing in our societies, and think this is also one the reasons why I advice jobless people not to engage themselves in gambling, so as to avoid doing things like this.

No, I am not stupid. I only sell property if I am going to buy some other property. Why would I sell, say a house, to gamble? It doesn't make any sense. Only a mad man would do such thing. If you did it that's a very serious sign of something going very wrong in your thought process and it needs to be fixed immediately. (a.k.a. "see a doctor") If you don't leave this thought of getting rich by risking your assets which you need, you'll get poor very fast.

I can understand it if you want o sell your assets because you planning to start a business (I don't mean blackjack) so you need to raise funds for it... Even that has its own risks and you may still lose what you invest in that business but it is better than gambling.

Nah! I'm am not gonna take that risk because it is a suicide. There is no assurance of winning in gambling so why should I use it for something that is not worth the return? This is same as taking a loan money and then gamble, we might end up badly with this kind of mindset.

It's not same, if you taking out a loan to gamble, you're need to pay the loan amount + interest (with penalty). But if you sold your property, you're only lose your property, even you gambled away all the money, you don't have any pressure that you need to earn as much as that or buy back the property.

However, neither of them is a good decision.

This is really insane if someone sells his property only to gamble. One thing is sure that if a person takes this step to sell his property, means that he has lost all of his money in gambling so he will take this big step to sell the property to further gamble. Such a person is 100% gambling addicted and he sees no other thing but only gambling. Such people are most worst for their families but for the gambling sites, they are really happy if people bring more money for wagering and do not care for the source of the money.


I never sold my property and not anything for gambling. I wish I never got into such a situation and always be a responsible gambler. By the way, responsible gamblers are the ones who are responsible citizens too. and those who are aggressive in gambling, you will find them aggressive in other parts of life too.

That's a bad decision because selling the property we own to gamble may not necessarily result in winnings and at most risks losing everything. Someone who gambles responsibly will not do that because there are many considerations that make them not choose that path.

Until now I have never sold any property to gamble because I am not an active gambler who always gambles. For me, selling property to gamble is a bad decision because we buy it with difficulty and then sell it easily while engaging in gambling and that is quite ridiculous in my opinion.

I have met with someone like this, he didn't sell his house to gamble, but he gambled and lost so much that he had to sell his house, so it is sort of the same thing. I think we should consider the fact that these people are focusing on the wrong part of the world.

If you are so addicted to gambling that you lose everything you have, that doesn't really mean that you should be capable of doing anything like that, it should definitely not be something that would not be all that possible. I believe that we are going to end up with something that may not be all that easy to handle, so it is quite obvious that we should get rid of this addiction and find a way to cure our problem so that we do not lose all our money in the end.

The moment you get a thirst of selling your properties, it gets stuck like a virus and it becomes really hard to stop and that's why I watch myself before I make such mistake. with what I have seen with friends doing it, I would definitely not like to see myself go down that lane and I think the closest I have gone for such act is when I used the money I borrowed someone to risk it on a single odd but at the end the results didn't favor me and from there I learnt my lessons.

It sounds like a bit of a made up story, but it's definitely not impossible - because any sort of addiction can drive people to do things that aren't normal like that. When it comes to wasted money, people can feel great shame at throwing large sums away, especially if they are not earning these amounts themselves. I imagine it is an extremely rare circumstance that someone has ever reached the extend they want to sell a property to fund gambling, as it usually requires a lot of planning and financial care in order to buy one in the first place, perhaps it is more likely for those that inherited one. Either way, I hope such people get help because in that scenario a loving family would be nothing but supportive and it hurts them even more to run away from the situation.

Maybe we should just know people for whom they were, we cant expect everyone being the same as we are in life or through the way they are gambling to be the same as ours, its a barbaric experience to see that someone goes to that length in selling off properties just to satisfy their gambling desires, and the next thing that comes straight on my mind was that, what will such person do after he gambles and loose the bet and the property is gone, in everything we are doing, we should always consider the two sides of the consequences that may follows every actions we take.

Anybody who is out of control, selling large value items in order to gamble needs help. Gambling should be fun, it shouldn’t be something that causes stress and upset.

I’ve said it 1000 times but you must practise responsible gambling. Only bet with amounts you can afford to lose. It shouldn’t be something that really makes you panic about losing money. Gambling is a fun hobby, the moment that stops being the case is the time to step away and assess what you are doing.

That's true. When people get caught up in stuff like gambling addictions, it can screw up their whole lives.  I saw this guy I know from back in the day who started selling all his stuff just to get money to keep gambling.  He even lost his car and everything and  it was sad to see someone throw away their life like that all cause they couldn't stop gambling.

I guess we can't expect everyone to make the same choices we would.  But watching somebody gamble away everything they own is pretty hard to stomach.  It's like theyre trapped in this cycle where they keep making things worse tryna win it all back.  Part of me wanted to smack some sense into him, but the other part just felt bad seeing the mess he'd gotten himself into.

On the other hand I would not say that it is carelessness if basically they always repeat the same thing or the same mistake, I am more sure that it is done because their hopes and beliefs are so high in a victory that this becomes the main driver for them to do everything possible just to gamble, the victory that looks like in front of the eyes is actually nothing more than a shadow or hallucination due to too high hopes and beliefs. On the other hand, there are indeed many things that they think are a motivation, such as hearing or seeing a big win that was successfully obtained by someone else or even one of their friends, which indirectly makes them feel motivated to do the same thing in the hope of getting the same results, even though on the other hand they may not necessarily be as lucky as the people who managed to get the victory.

Selling something just to gamble is too reckless and excessive, this is a new habit that will indirectly make it easier for you to lose everything you have in life, as you said and I agree that starting from selling the smallest item then over time they will dare to sell something much bigger.

I have several friends who are seriously addicted to certain types of gambling and they can sell anything to fulfill their gambling desires. The last time I heard about it was when he pawned his motorbike to get a gambling budget, while he was already in too much debt to fulfill his passion. It is clear that it is an addiction that is already at a bad stage, there is no other way to cure it other than rehabilitation.

Anyone can experience bad gambling behavior when they fail to be a responsible gambler. It's not easy, but it is a necessity that should not be taken lightly. Becoming a responsible gambler is advice worth considering, otherwise the repercussions could be dire. We can't blame gambling platforms for losing so much money, but being responsible gamblers means at least they have boundaries that prevent them from having a bad impact.

The gambling addiction will cause the gamblers to use the all money from their income source,the cause of this was the gambling addiction.The gamblers who losing the funds without any winning will give them ego towards the gambling site,mostly people call it as the anti ego against the gambling site.So the gamblers try to deposit the money again and again to set back the loss from the gambling site.But this time gamblers will play the gambling with emotional interference to the gambling site.The outcome will be the negative because of the emotional game,after losing some games the gamblers understand the gambling losses because of the anti ego towards the gambling site.

The mindset of most addicted gamblers that do sell their properties is that, if they sell the one they have and use the money to gamble, if they win, they will end up buying the one better than the one they sold, but things don’t end up going well for them, and they will lose the one they have because it has already been sold, and they won’t be able to buy a new one. The best thing is that you shouldn't be addicted to gambling and never think of selling your properties just because you want to gamble, because things won’t really go well and you will end up regretting why you made the mistake.

Why will you sell your father's car just because you want to gamble? The level of the person's addiction is just kind of high, you didn’t sell what belongs to you, you ended up selling what belongs to your father. That’s really bad. Even if the child commits a crime that’s more than that, the parents will still look for him, that's parent for you. No parent will want to lose control of their child, no matter what crime the child commits.

This is why one of the main things that should be avoided in doing gambling is that on making yourself that getting addicted to it.This is why it would really be that best that you should really be stopping immediately on the time that you've seen that you are already starting on selling things like those small things like cellphones,tablets or any other gadget because sooner or later
on which if the addiction do reach out into its peak then for sure you would really be coming into a point that you would really be that selling properties on which this is the
worst thing that someone would be doing on the time that he do gets addicted until you would be coming into those situations that there's nothing left on you.

This issue has been the major problem of most gamblers, the urge of wanting more but it all ends with pains and regret. A lot of people have emphasis on this issue here and it seems people still don't want to change, people like this should always learn the hard way cause they've refused to change.
People lost their life due to greed, I read a story online and the gambler lost his life due to gambling, he borrowed money worth million just for gambling and the end result was death.


I will never get involve with this act and it seems people who sold their property to bet never had value for the property, we all have ups and down when gambling but I don't think I will do such to satisfy my gambling desire.

I have not sold any equipment or property so I could have money for gambling but I sold gadgets that I'm no longer using so I could still benefit instead of letting it "eaten" by dust and rust. I spent the money from that sale into various things which included gambling on the side. I don't see anything wrong with that.

If people sell property, they also use it for gambling materials His gambling addiction is very severe. even though there are various gambling games. even if there are no opponents, there are many online gambling sites that offer many games.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with selling properties and things you own over gambling, BUT:

• You have to keep in mind that it's completely yours, not half-owned, not to be fully-paid, not given as a gift. Something that you outright bought and owned.
• You're not addicted to gambling, and primarily doing this to ensure that you have a dedicated bankroll that you'll use for gambling so you don't end up using your money dedicated for living expenses as a means to support your vice. and of course:
• You don't need the very thing you're trying to sell anymore, or perhaps you got yourself a viable alternative (for example, selling your portable laptop cause you seldom go out and work on the fly anyway and you have a beefy PC at home that reliably does the work for you).

Got something you want to sell, but it doesn't fall to one of these prerequisites I have laid? Then hold off on encashing that shit and keep it. Don't sell that or pawn that item so you can fund your vice. At the end of the day, gambling is nothing but a way for you to entertain yourself when the basic and most accessible ways to have fun is either out of reach or something that just doesn't hit it for you anymore. Don't make it any bigger than it is supposed to be or else you're going to subject yourself to problems you shouldn't even have in the first place. Comprende? Good. Gambling is fun when you're not on the brink of losing yourself in the sauce. Gamble responsibly and as RDJ says in his film Tropic Thunder, "never go full retard."

Yes, that's because they are addicted to gambling and have a strong desire to continue their gambling game. When they don't have money, they decide to sell their assets so they can continue gambling but unfortunately, this doesn't allow them to win the gambling game but instead they lose all their money. That's why we really have to be able to control ourselves when gambling and always limit our gambling activities so that we don't lose a lot of money. We have to control ourselves and our money so that we won't be tempted to play other gambling games. And we also won't think about recovering the money we lost because that is the risk we have to accept from gambling. If we don't want to lose money from gambling, we should not get involved in gambling so that we can still use the money for other things.

Well no, fortunately I haven't reached that level of stupidity. And when I say stupidity I don't want to overly blame people who fall into such behaviours, but it is a behaviour that they should recognise is stupid, even though it can be explained by the level of addiction and compulsive behaviour.


It's just like that.

for me, that's the most stupid thing I'll do if I ever find myself in that situation, It's also hard to explain because people have different levels of addiction, but if you get to the point of selling your properties just for gambling, that's not a good indicator, it means you can exchange other more important things just to sustain yourself gambling.

In my opinion, risking what your quality of life depends on is the biggest foolishness a gambler can do.

If you really want to gamble, but you don't have the money to do it, you should either figure out how to make money or not gamble at all.

Selling property, taking out a loan are all measures that should be used in extreme life situations, but not for gambling.

It would be very stupid if anyone actually did this because selling assets or possessions just to be used for gambling is a mistake and a big problem that will arise in a gambler's life.
It's true what you say, only people who are addicted to gambling will do stupid things like that, maybe because they are addicted to the gambling games they play and I agree with you, if we don't want to lose money, then don't play gambling, that's better. The money we have is used for daily needs and is beneficial for ourselves.

Selling valuable assets isn't just a financial loss, it's a symbolic surrender of control, a desperate attempt to chase a fleeting high. It speaks volumes about the distorted judgment addiction can bring, blurring the lines between right and wrong.

However, the story's ending offers a glimmer of hope. The OP's return home and change in lifestyle demonstrate the possibility of recovery, even after hitting rock bottom. Three years might seem like a long time spent away from family, but it's a testament to his resilience and determination to rebuild his life.

While the story serves as a cautionary tale, it also underscores the power of change. It reminds us that even in the depths of addiction, redemption is possible with the right support and a genuine desire to heal.

Yes, every gambler should start to realize that he has exceeded his limits and this method is very wrong. Selling property just to finance gambling, obviously it will only waste time and more money, sometimes gamblers like that follow their anger so much that they don't really do it right. enjoy their game when gambling, I think that all senior gamblers have also given a lot of warnings to novice gamblers who often do stupid things like that which make themselves increasingly out of control and cause quite big losses for themselves. that's ridiculous

What you say is true that gambling should be fun and not just for making money, after all why don't gamblers like that just try to work or build a business if they really want money, so far all we know is gambling can never be used as a place to earn money, let alone make it a source of permanent income, but most people expect too much when they gamble, it would be a shame if there are still many people who end up addicted to gambling and start selling all their property just to pay for their gambling. until it went bankrupt.

selling something that's guaranteed to gamble on casinos is probably stupid
totally different idea if you want to sell a property to invest in bitcoin or study investing and try to get better returns on the stock market as an example than you have on renting (or living rent-free if you live in the property)

many paths and many ways to see but we should be responsible.

For sure, it is not a great idea to sell something like property, I mean that should be the aim of earning anyway since the property is a tangible asset so when you probably earn on your investment or even in gambling you're going to buy an asset probably like a property or real estate where your money is safe from inflation something like that. If you did something like that selling your property not for investment but just going to do it so that you could use the money for gambling, I mean you just out of your mind, and you surely made the wrong move here risking that money on gambling, maybe there was a chance for you to win, but still the risk is not worth it.

I never really do something like that, when I gamble I only gamble a very small percentage of my money or just excess money and do not really expect anything in return so that I can easily recover when I lose, and if I win then that just means that I am just lucky.

One can sell a valuable asset and invest in bitcoin, gold, a business or the stock market, but one should not sell a valuable asset like a house and invest here if one does not have more than one house. There is how a person can decide to sell their house and invest in gambling. Even if I had 100 houses, I would never decide to sell them and invest in gambling. Gambling is always best used as a fun activity. If one uses gambling for income, it should be done part-time and on a limited basis. And of course besides this he must have some other source of income.

What stupid ideas by selling property for gambling, if you don't have freedom with financial keep away from gambling and get demo account only is the best ideas. I don't know why many people must stupid get difficult financial have to sell their motorbike, property and any thing can't acceptable have to sell for gambling.
In gambling can't promising with profitable or win exactly get risk by selling property, stop you bad ideas before becoming addict in gambling and for the future not only will sell property but also until selling house to play gamble. I have experienced with my neighbor sold all their property until his house after getting addict in gambling.

Honestly, I was very touched to read the story you have shared because the parents only expected him to return without taking into account the financial losses lost by their child, the parents wanted him to change his behavior to become an obedient and obedient child to his parents, I am citing an extraordinary experience from the love of parents towards their children, even though their children have made fatal mistakes, the hearts of parents are very easy to forgive any mistakes, I am touched because in the future I will be the parent of children and I will educate them to stay away from anything related to gambling.

Since I gamble never sell any property and when I will not do anything stupid to lose on gambling, gambling is just entertainment and I don't gamble often in every week, so I never experience high losses on gambling because I set the lowest budget limit for enjoy gambling.

What I can conclude from this action is that people who think that selling something of value just to gamble is an alternative, when the fact is that this action will refer to a new habit that will make them suffer more over time, no matter how small the first item you sell to gamble, because over time this action will turn into a habit and you have the opportunity or interest to sell something bigger like the house you mentioned here. So anyway it's a reckless or even stupid idea to sell something just to gamble, because as you said gambling should be fun and it's a useful activity to fill your spare time when you're bored and of course gambling shouldn't be done seriously because it's the same as digging a deeper hole to bury yourself. However, I would never advise anyone to gamble with the aim of earning and expecting to win, it's too dangerous in the long run.

Its not an alternative on the sense that you are already selling out possesions and this is one of the solid indications that you are already bring up yourself into such possible devastation when it comes to this one.

This is why it would really be that best that you should really be that trying to avoid this kind of option on the time that you do gamble because if you do force up yourself on doing such thing then
you are really just that basically putting up yourself into such scenario on where you could possibly mess up big time on gambling field.

Its never been that a good step or actions that has been made on the time that you would really be doing already these kind of selling.
We've seen those probability on which its impossible that we cant be able to picture out at least on where it would be heading up possibly if these things comes worst.

the desire to gamble is actually very normal but we have to know when is the right time to gamble again because almost all gamblers when they lose definitely want to win and want to continue gambling but there is no need to do it right away while there is still tomorrow that we can use to gamble especially if you still have the budget to gamble.
and on the one hand, when you have the desire to gamble again and do it, I think it's not good because gambling with emotions will only last temporarily and you will lose again very quickly because gambling with emotions will definitely lose self control and you won't be able to control your mind to think wisely.

If you do sell out some properties or asset just for the sake on trying out to make more investment or business then this is the only thing i can consider for it to be ideal or something
that would really be that better but on  the time that you are already making yourself that selling out something such as this just for the sake of gambling activity
then this is where we do know that you are doing the shit thing. You are just gradually making yourself that being that wrecked in the end. There's no way that it would
be ideal on selling something just to fulfill out that kind of leisure seeking thing or simply being greedy with money because sooner or later you would really be finding
that the things you've been doing will really be putting you on such big trouble.

I never had that kind of addiction that I needed to sold any property of mine to play gamble, And this is really a bullshit to sold own proper for playing gambling and I think those who are doing these kinds of work they are the stupidest people in the world in my eyes. I really can't imagine at what level of addiction a man would sell his property to gamble. Addicted gamblers of this level are a threat to themselves and their families. These lead the family to debt and ultimately destroy dignity. But the sad thing is that last year one of my classmate committed sui*cide due to gambling loss, he gambled his three semester fees from his family and also borrowed another 500 dollars to recover them, as a result he lost that money too. And finally, unable to take the stress, he committed sui*cide by taking sleeping pills. So I would say that gambling is an addiction if it is understood by oneself or seen by someone else then suggest him to break from gambling now. And he should understand that gambling beyond his means is extremely risky

In my opinion, this is a crazy idea, because if we sell the property we own to gamble, I think it can be said to be a serious addiction, because when someone is addicted to gambling, they can do anything that can make money, including selling property. owned, but I myself don't do it because I know that gambling doesn't have to be done by defending it desperately, by selling the property we own to gamble. I think that includes us defending gambling too desperately which is not yet clear whether it will give us a win that can be achieved. obtained.

and also this is a stupid idea or action. because in my opinion, doing this means gambling too much. Gambling that is done must be done in moderation, and if there is someone who does this crazy thing then I am sure that person is really addicted to gambling. and in this way they will be even more brave to continue doing things that are beyond common sense.

Well, the answer is no, and not for the second option, due to the inheritance of common sense from the first.

I think that many that I read were missing the premise, "don't sell the house that you can't afford to lose", I say if it works for everything else because it doesn't for houses. I think it is the best example for those who are promulgating this version of betting the money you can afford to lose.

Nope, it won't happen. I know myself better.

That's true, we've heard a lot of stories that they've became homeless because of their addiction and wrong decision. And with that, it's best not to be addicted and don't get to that point just because you're hooked with gambling.

Stay to just having fun as you gamble and never touch your properties.  :D

It is us that are ruining everything. With misuse, wrong decisions and calls, that's how we ruin things and even ourselves and finances.

The gambler who selling the property for the gambling itself doing gambling with their property.Because it was not sure they win the sure money from the gambling site,their was two possibilities.One is the gambler will make many and buy two properties value equal to their sold property.The second one is the property will be lost because of the random betting by the gambler by not taking responsibility of the money used in the gambling site.If the gambler understand the heat,he never loses the money from selling the property.The property buying is hard now,so losing property because of not responsible gambling will be considered as less professional game.

Those gamblers who did that thing already need immediate help.

They don't know what they are doing anymore. They can't think of a proper way how to deal with their gambling addiction.

If you know people who are in that situation, don't hesitate to lend them a help or told their families that something wrong is happening.

For a gambler to reach the stage of selling his properties in other to gamble, it simply means that such gambler have become a chronic addict and the best thing to do at that time is to try send him to the rehabilitation center so he can be properly taken care of and corrected from his gambling addiction.
People gamble for different reasons but whenever gambler can't control his gambling addiction and resorts to selling personal properties to satisfy their addictions it's takes more efforts than ever needed to talk them out of gambling. Gambling addiction is not good for anyone and we must do everything within our strength to avoid been addicted to gambling which the easiest way to achieve is to always gamble responsibly

There's no fun in demo account only. It's not the best idea if the gambler is already addicted.  :D

Once a gambler is addicted, you'll see a bunch of stories on how they've sold many things just for them to gamble again. Even themselves, they can mark it as sold out for someone that will sustain their gambling needs. And this is not surprising and truly happening in real life.

Well, there are some gamblers who are addicted to gambling to the point where they can't think clearly like this. Basically,  their mindset is to want to return the capital they have lost in previous gambling by selling assets and getting money quickly. Sometimes,  when you give them directions to stop their intention to do so, it doesn't get the results you expected, and instead he ignores you. Many people end up ending their lives because they are confused because there is nothing they can do anymore.

Bad idea unless you have free rent, you are selling something you need to buy something of no specific requirement to yourself.   You know its bad from beforehand when you dont even require to take the risk and there is no option not to require a property.   Doesnt make sense in that context, I have heard of people selling either a house that was spare and inherited or the family that sold a house to travel in a mobile home and they both bough BTC with the proceeds.   Just buying BTC for them was a gamble but at least they did not sell something they would require the next day.

Never, it was a stupid decision to change our life to be bankrupt. But, I ever sold my property just to buy Bitcoin and trade it. It's success in 2021. I got profit, and I can buy back my property and buy more in another place. But for gambling, it's not the right decision. Because I ever sold my phone just to play poker, All lost, my phone I can't get it back, and my money is just lost tha all. So, if someone sold his property to play gambling, I think he had to be prepared to lose it forever, just thinking again before make decision.

Yes, it is an inappropriate action to sell assets or possessions just to gamble, even though gambling is just entertainment that does not need to be taken seriously. They don't think about what impact it will have on their families when they find out that items are being sold to fulfill their gambling desires. Yes, maybe only people who are addicted to gambling will do something stupid by selling their personal belongings so they can have money that can be used to continue gambling. Those who have reached the stage of selling their goods have already entered into a gambling addiction so their family members should start talking to them to find out why they are selling their goods. If he really has a gambling addiction, his family members can try to encourage him to cure himself.

It is natural for people to have the desire to gamble, but they should be able to learn or understand that gambling carries the risk of losing money, especially if they cannot control themselves well. They will experience losses that could be even greater if they do not want to stop their gambling activities and instead add some money to their gambling account just because they want to win. Even though they already know that if they gamble frequently, there is a risk of losing, which will result in losing their money, and it can get bigger if they can no longer manage their money. They will slowly run out of money and it will be a big loss of money if they cannot stop themselves from gambling. Moreover, some emotions can increase at any time, making them forget what they must do after playing enough gambling.

It's never advisable to sell any for the purpose of gambling, if you don't have any spare cash then, you should just leave gambling for that period of time. After all, it isn't written anywhere that you must gamble every now and then. Even inside gambling addiction, there is what I call chronic addiction and that is when the gambler begins to sell properties for gambling. Selling those properties, there is no way you are being guaranteed that you'll win the bet or recover your asset back. Majority of the times I've come across gamblers who sold asset to gamble didn't turn out well.

With the mistake he made by selling the property he owned, the gambler has indirectly made his family members suffer because of his wrong behavior, and not only that, the gambler must also pay attention to whether he is truly addicted or not, if not. His family members can still advise him slowly so that he can recover from being a gambler, but if he is really seriously addicted then it is impossible for him to be advised so that he recovers quickly and becomes aware of his wrong behavior.

I've sold things to buy crypto and Bitcoin, and so far I don't regret doing it, because I am in good profits but I won't dare do the same for gambling, the risk is enormous.

Things I can sell my properties for.

1. Digital assets aka Bitcoin and co
2. Shares/Stock
3. Unpopular skill

Gambling is a game, with two sides of results, it doesn't make sense to risk a lot on gambling, there are better things you can risk a lot more on but not gambling, the type of risks fits for gambling are the smallest that you can afford to risk.

Firstly I must say this is a topic I believe is quite rare but still happens. Upon seeing the topic of this post it is logical and easy to say such a person is either an irresponsible gambler or an addict or even both. Gambling is supposed to be a fun activity but it seems some people have actually taken it to be more than that which is very wrong.
Going out of your way just to stake or make gambling bets is an unhealthy practice as people are advised to gamble responsibly by staking what they can afford to lose. The reason why people stake beyond their pockets is because they have their judgement clouded their ability to recognize that they could possibly lose it all.

Those who sell everything and get addicted to gambling without thinking about the future will know about its dire consequences in the future. Those who are wise save for the future so that they can live well with those savings in old age, but those who are mentally disordered gamblers sell all their properties and participate in gambling without thinking about the future. These gamblers at some point become bankrupt in gambling and wander around the streets like crazy. So those who do not think about the future and participate in gambling by selling their hoarded property must eventually pay for their past wrong doings by going bankrupt.

Realization do always come at the end and those people who do sell out their properties in the process wont really be mindful much about on the things that they've been currently doing. This is why it would really be that ideal that you should really be stopping on making yourself that too wishful about winning up big because on the time that you would really be making yourself that desperate then you are really that prone into lots of mistakes and errors on which this is something that should really be avoided. This is why it would be best that you should really avoiding it at all cost. Property is not something that you should really be that
selling on something like gambling.Its never been worth and its never been that ideal on doing so.

You shouldn't really be that making yourself that having that kind of decision. This is why it would be best that you should really be that
better that moderation would really be that best on this kind of condition.

The effect of greed is the reason that people gamble irresponsibly. When you are having such huge agenda in your mind that the next game is likely the one that will give you the jackpot you have been aiming for a longtime then you are going to continue even when you are losing. Another reason is you are gambling with the hope to use the profit for personal financial challenges, chasing of loses will become the order because the emotion becomes the controlling factor.

"Don't bet more than you can afford to lose" and this is the truth. One of the biggest mistakes a gambler makes is to sell the property and gamble with that money. Because when someone gambles using his own savings or property sell money, he has only one thought that he always wants to win, and this thought makes him more aggressive, and the gambler becomes more addicted to gambling. And that's why you've yet to see a gambler win big gambling with property sell money. So gambling should be played with such money, so that even if you lose that money, you don't have to face any big problem. Gambling should be made as a form of entertainment and it would be best if one could earn income through entertainment as well.

There are a lot of factors that can bring sad consequences. Greed and lack of critical thinking will definitely lead to large losses and the desire to win back lost money, I already wrote in this thread about my former friend who took valuables out of the house to play. If games or bets don’t pay pleasure, but there is only a desire to earn more money, then it’s definitely not worth doing it, and it’s important to have finances for it, if you don’t have them, it’s better not to do it so as not to run into problems.

To be honest, the story you are telling us is actually more serious than a person taking the choice to liquidate their assets in order to gamble. Why? because in reality that car which was sold it was not even property of the person trying to sell it, which is a clear and plain crime. He was fortunate his parents did not choose to prosecute him.
Leaving that to one side of this post, it is obvious that selling one's property in order to continue to gamble is stupid and basically a faster path towards ruin and bankruptcy, that is specially true when we live in developing countries where period of economical recession and political chaos are more common, it is easier for people to get fired or losing their money because of crooks in the government taking over one's savings in the bank. Because of that we should not take our material possessions for granted and understand how much effort there is behind having a car, having a house or even having smaller things like a computer or a smartphone, is something make our life easier the it is not supposed to be sold unless it is an extreme situation, not for gambling.
At least his parents loved him enough for allowing him to return home and be part of the family again, that is going to show how important family is specially when one is going through such rough times related to addictions of any sort.

Gambling can be fun for those who have enough money. But when it is excessive it is no longer bliss. And when a person monitors his wealth to manage his gambling, the addiction he has become will be revealed. Those who gamble by borrowing or selling their assets turn the joy of gambling into an addiction by relying on a false hope. When a gambler sells his property and gambles, if he loses, he himself will live in hardship and his family will also have a hard time because of it. Since gambling is uncertain, there should be responsible gambling rather than being greedy. Gambling should not be continued by selling any property.

Whether it's gambling or not, it doesn't make any iota sense to sell property. Selling property just to gamble is more worse than even borrowing money to gamble. Why would you even sell property to gamble when it's not like you are posses or course. Let's say for instance, you have a land and because you don't have any source of income and you sell it, then the thought of doubling that money comes to mind, I will rather use the money and eat than use that money to even think about gambling.

Experience has shown that people that does this don't bring back anything, gambling isn't the only thing that bring money if it's money that you desire, invest the money into another business than try something you might even regret later. If there is any person that has done this successfully by selling his or her property was only lucky to win one, majority don't make anything but rather a loss and then regret is what follows.

Gambling or any other things that are overly done are not healthy anymore, so it's important to set a limit in every thing that we do. In gambling, we can lose money and if the lost amount is not that big enough, we can easily replace it either by selling a thing, via our jobs salary, earnings in our business, or through any other activities. Depending on a thing, they can be hard or easy to sell.

In our subject here, we are talking about a property. Now if this property was only excess and there is no sentimental value attached to it, selling it is going to be just fine although it does not mean that we can now use all or most of the money in gambling.

But we are constantly gambling by selling valuable properties, especially Bitcoin, a valuable virtual currency with which we are constantly gambling. In my view Bitcoin is worth more than gold and land with which we participate in gambling. I gamble with Bitcoin but never with any physical assets. I am hoarding the physical assets for my family support and future savings which will be spent to provide me with a secure and comfortable standard of living in the future.

Your tale touched me. The fact that the car wasnt his to sell made a bad situation worse. His parents' forgiveness over prosecution was lucky. The decision spared him legal trouble and led to atonement and rehabilitation.

Selling things for gambling seems like a dangerous path to ruin. I've seen gambling's appeal, thrill, and camaraderie. The exhilaration should never cost important things. When economic and political stability is scarce, its important to recall the hard effort that goes into attaining such goods.

Your story's ending, where family gives hope, resonates. It shows the power of family in times of hardship. While gambling can be entertaining, it should always be done responsibly. More important than winning is enjoying the game and making friends.

The inability to accept the fact of losing that exists in gambling makes a gambler always spin in a cycle of chasing victory to restore something that has been lost, it all starts with not understanding what gambling really is which makes them experience emotions when defeat occurs at the end of the session, so of course this is the importance of why you must really understand first what gambling is really about before you finally get involved, requires a lot of consideration and simply put if you are not ready to lose then obviously the better and wiser decision is not to get involved in gambling.

You are right, and I can conclude from what you said that it is a fact that the bad effects of gambling will only be experienced by people who come with the intention of earning, they do not understand that gambling is not a place to earn but nothing more than an activity to fill leisure time without having to apply any seriousness. And that means gambling should be fun and not an activity that can push you into a black hole, and one of the ways that can keep you safe and avoid the possibility of unwanted then obviously you must have the right understanding that will indirectly make you have the right approach to gambling.

The examples you cited above are so unfortunate, that they are not called for. It shows the level at which some children are spoilt and how some people are just idiots in nature. Is it a must you gamble? You still have the parents that were feeding you, or at least cared about you, but all you can do is to give them pain, after all they have done for you? This is so sad and I can't even reason how some people behave, it often dawns on me that they are possessed, because, without that, I do not know why they would do some unspeakable thing.

In fact, it is a big shame on them. Before we do anything, we must weigh our options, gambling is never an investment, if you will do a thing like that at all, do it on something that people and your parents would be proud of. But those guys need desperate money and they need it very fast, that is why they often turn to gambling which has never been the solution. Imagine, if the guy who bought the land bought it and ran away for 3 years, in the next three years, the land could have at least double the money he bought it with depending on the choice of place. By that, won't the parent be happy and later forgive? Even though I do not like it entirely what the guy did, one should still be reasonable about what they channel money to if at all it happens.

As per your question, well, I will not do anything irresponsible because of gambling and I will not use the money I can't afford to lose for gambling. I've been strict in this regard and it is helping me as well.

While gambling people may forget that they can lose their money in gambling. Gamblers may not be able to understand and learn this. Gambling makes people greedy for money which proves that people do not hesitate to sell their various possessions for gambling. When a person becomes addicted to gambling he sells his property. People who get addicted to gambling and sell their property are absolutely stupid.

It is not advisable to sell anything for gambling purposes if you want to gamble then gamble with what you can afford to lose otherwise it should be avoided. Because if you gamble by selling your property then you can win and lose which is not guaranteed. If you are lucky then you win and if you are unlucky then if you lose then you lose all your money. If you lose all your money then you will be bankrupt

I personally have never done anything beyond reason to gamble, such as taking a bank loan or even selling property. I have never done anything that bad, I am still aware of the risks I will take if I really do that, I hope we everyone avoids any problems from gambling, playing relaxed even if a little annoyed will be much better than having to force yourself and the situation

I don't think that gamblers can easily forget the risk of losing money. Above all, frequent gamblers tend to closely monitor the balance of their account, especially when they experience more losses than wins. Therefore, I do not think that forgetting the risk of financial loss is a common occurrence among such individuals.

We may call those gamblers stupid, but addiction is a challenging and complex condition that can affect anyone. If you find yourself in this situation, it's understandable that you may struggle to recognize and understand your actions. Addiction can lead to a loss of focus on important responsibilities, as addicted gamblers become solely focused on satisfying their gambling addiction.

Well, when the family members will find that you have sold the property for gambling, then it means it will be a big disaster for them, which has already been done. No way, this is something which no gambler family will want to see. I guess this is so big step that it can leave to severe disturbance in the family relationship and might end up even on divorces too. I just can't imagine the reaction of this selling property for gambling (and losing that money too).


This is why we say that gambling addiction in bad. It will only bring bad name to the gambling and also people who are addicted do not use their mind. They do not know what they are doing. Their only mission is to get money for gambling, no matter from which source. This is so sad to hear such news of gambling addicts taking such severe steps. I wish someone may taught these gamblers to remain responsible otherwise it can ruin their life's.

For an addict maybe selling something to fund their gambling activities might be for them an alternative but for normal people who look at gambling from a rational point of view it is definitely not an alternative but something that can get them into a deeper hole or a much worse situation. As I said above that this is a new habit that will make them even worse.

I think the only way for us to avoid the idea or idea of selling something just to gamble or other excessive actions is when we are able to understand what gambling activities really are, because by understanding it, it is clear that you will not dare to act out of control or mean doing things that you really cannot be held accountable for in the end.

Of course because there is absolutely no good result with us doing this kind of action because it involves an excessive action while as we know that something that is done in excess is always synonymous with even worse results, especially in the case of gambling where there is absolutely no certainty to actually produce because the randomness that exists in gambling does not allow you to produce, so of course it is better to avoid this kind of thing because this is an action that will be dangerous.

a very careless act, gambling has ruined his life and also damaged family relationships for quite a long time, luckily his parents were generous and forgave him, maybe he comes from people who are quite well off, if they were poor people I'm sure his parents will not forgive him, this makes us more careful when gambling so as not to let our desires control us

         -   Selling property like real estate just to use what it sells for gambling is not a good move for me. This is no longer normal, and the level of addiction that the gambler has is too much for the gambler to control.

I am a gambler, but I would never sell a property just to follow my passion for gambling. I will not waste a long time if I work hard, and then it can be lost in an instant just because of the short-term comfort of gambling.

Nobody's born with a guide to perfect gambling judgements. It's about knowing the stakes, not being stupid. And yes, throwing money at gambling instead of investments like land? A mistake. However, shame is not the only issue. Understanding why these options appeal is key. You're right about avoiding what you can't lose. Life advice, not just gambling advise. Let's not call all gamblers desperate or possessed. Sometimes they lack the information or instruction to see the big picture. Discuss solutions instead of blame. Financial knowledge, risk management, and patience are the tools we should teach

Support networks are essential. If someone's leaning towards gambling as a quick fix, it's our cue to step in, not with judgment, but with advice and alternatives

This is what addiction could do, therefore it's important to avoid ourselves from getting addicted. If you are rich, you have a lot ot sell, and if you are poor, you have few to sell, so it doesn not have any difference at all because all these happened when a gambler risk more than he can afford to lose.

It's problem on controlling ourselves that make us do this stupid thing, when we are drowning in debt and we are oblige to pay because we are afraid we will go to jail, that's the real pressure will hunt us and we won't have a good night sleep. All these could happen and even worst, that's why I am happy for those gamblers who got addicted and able to figure out early how to get out of addiction.

It's just a foolish person selling property for gambling that will disappear in an instant while getting property is much more difficult even it takes years for you to collect money to buy it, so think again don't let us be insane about this.
I think we can still overcome gambling well even though addiction is difficult to fight, there must still be responsibility from yourself to start because other people only give advice and will never prevent you from hindering.
Think again, gambling is only cold money that is ready to lose not selling property that will be lost.

Selling some of our property because we want to gamble then it's too ashamed and losers cause imagine you will going to sell your property in order to gamble then if the Money you used to gamble will loss then  how sad it is.  So we need to be vigilant we don't need to borrow, sell some gadget's or even our property for gambling cause in the future we will regret it and then we will cry cause of regret. So  from now on we must have the mindset that if we need to gamble then we will use our existing money so that when we gamble and loss it's not just matters cause we gamble fo fun.

Yes, sometimes the person takes his whole life to save enough money to finally purchase a property, but if the property's value is converted into money, it can disapper in a matter of one single night when gambling at a casino... It goes beyond irresponsibility, it's insanity! Unfortunatelly, we know it's something which happens for real with some gamblers, as they have a solid patrimony, but end losing everything to gambling as they keep selling self-owned vehicles, houses, jewelry, assets and even their own clothes when things reach to an extreme point where there is no turning back anymore, as they hit bankruptcy.

For us who are watching this situation from outside, it's hard to imagine what is happening on the minds of such individuals to sacrifice everything they have achieved for nothing at all. I believe it must have something to do with the feeling of having an empty life without a purpose anymore, so they act insanely, maybe to escape from emptiness or maybe to seek a meaning for their lives, although in a very unhealthy and harmful way.

The story is likened to that of the prodigal son in the bible  It is morally wrong to sell one's property to gamble, I think those people who indulged in the act were usually promised a sure bet just like fixed matches in soccer betting unfortunately gambled irresponsible with money sourced illegally, I have never sold any of my property or other close relative property and used the proceed to gamble that is big risk infact it's is abnormal to sell one's property how much more of a parent property who laboured hard to buy  a car unfortunately his son in his bid to get rich quickly through gamble took a very irresponsible decision.

Selling a house to gamble is a big mistake. I have never seen anyone selling their house to gamble, but I have seen people gambling away their father's inheritance. Some people think it is normal to risk their grandfather's and father's inheritance to gamble. I would never do that. I think gambling is fun and a house and a car should not be risked for fun.

There are also two possibilities in gambling, namely winning and losing, but in my opinion the chance of losing is greater than the chance of winning, therefore it is very likely that if we gamble, we will lose more often than win. Even if they sell their property to gamble, it doesn't guarantee they can win for sure. because of course the gambling party doesn't care about what happens to the gamblers, even if they experience big losses, it doesn't matter to the gambling party, also if they sell their property to gamble, the gambling party will not feel sorry for them and give them the winnings after selling the property they own. .

That's right, maybe something like that could be considered unprofessional, and in my opinion that one thing has gone too far beyond the normal limits of gambling, even though it could be said to be a normal thing it's clear that it shouldn't be done, because it's very likely that they will only experience defeat, right? win even if they sell the house they own for their own residence. and in my opinion, gambling by selling property when you run out of capital is also irresponsible gambling because they cannot accept defeat well so they sell what they have to gamble. it is not a good action and idea.

I doubt anybody in the forum would open;y admit to selling a property to gamble and not only that, it is highly unlikely for people to do it. One way homes could be sold is if gamblers ended up taking loans against their homes for the purpose of gambling and they lost the whole amount. In that case it is probable debt collectors would be chasing the debt therefore a home could be forcefully sold via a Court order to recover costs to pay outstanding debts.

Other than that, it would be very unwise for someone to sell their home for the specific purpose of gambling.

What most people around me encounter is selling their smartphones to gamble, and some people also pawn them. Most of the gamblers in my area are slot gamblers, only a few play soccer betting, and there are also those who play both. Not a few of them also borrow money from friends, with other small property as collateral such as motorbikes, I haven't found anyone who sells cars, that's very risky in my opinion. As for this model of gambler, it is clear that they are addicted, it is difficult for them to give up this bad habit.

Of course the risk of regret always comes last, but most of them are very prepared for any risk, and will sell any property they can cash in on. The impact of gambling is very big, making you bankrupt and losing almost everything you have. Family, career, savings and future are at stake if you continue to gamble, most addicted gamblers will also avoid people who give them advice. I think if they are at the stage of selling the property to gamble, then they will no longer listen to any advice.

If people can go to any length to commit themselves to gambling even to the point of death, then expect from them to do worse once it comes to having this fun affair in gambling, people have different ways of thinking and we can't expect everyone to think the same way we are thinking, you will be so much surprised about finding out that this has gone beyond seeing a gambler being addicted to gambling, some of them just have this kind of natural way of behaving strange and they never feels bad about that, selling a property could be the least and simplest some of them could do, when they can have the thought of using other people's money in their disposal for gambling not minding the aftermath.

I wonder why people will take such a risk, It is as if people do not know how expensive, it is to own a property now and this act shows that the person is not responsible. and if the family finds out about it they will be disappointed gambling is one of the most irresponsible things to do because you lose more than you earn. owning a property is an asset that can appreciate so losing something as value for a gamble is the height of irresponsibility because you won't get it back. and when the person knows he does not have money what is the reason for using the house to take such a risk? I would love to meet foolish people like that on the street because they belong to the street. this shows that gambling is risky and it is not for some people at all.

Selling a smart phone is far more convenient when using selling a house as a comparator therefore it makes sense for some people to follow that path if it is the norm depending on the area. Using items as collateral is something that most problem gamblers probably do, such as motorbikes, cycles, cars and a lot more.

Also, I think the damage suffered by communities that have family members that have addictions to slot machines, is under reported. Slot machines are magnets for people that are classed as problem gamblers and that is dangerous. You are right, the impact of gambling very big, it destroys families and lives when it changes from fun gambling to addiction.

This particular issues with people and their gambling habits is what have gave gambling some sort of I'll view in many society at large and I don't think most person even learn from other people's error in this particular field. Gambling is something that can be enjoyed in peace and also be destructive only if you let it ruin you and most person has choose to let it be a problem and a very hard problem to even get by because once the damage is done it's very hard to repair yourself.

Some atimes new gamblers says they can never make the same mistake that other gambler do but on the process of gambling and losing they end up just the way they said they will not end.
Moreover, it's good to learn from other folks mistakes so you don't also make the same mistakes they make. On the process of gambling safe you also think of a good way to manage your bank rols you you don't end up losing everything. In the middle of gambling there's always a possibility of losing or winning so when you gamble just stake with the amount you can afford to lose.

Family members cannot survive and cannot meet their daily needs, especially if the addict is the head of the family, where he instead uses all the family's money to gamble. This will cause huge problems for his family and may immediately explode, where his wife will immediately ask for a divorce if her husband shows no signs of changing to reduce his gambling activities. However, it is difficult for a gambling addict to be advised to reduce his gambling addiction unless he can realize it after he sees the impact felt by his family. But his family members must continue to try to wake him up from his gambling addiction so that they can overcome the problem together.

The problem occurs when the gambling addict starts using the money for his family. But a bigger problem arises when a gambling addict starts selling his property just to gamble and this will make it difficult for his family to survive. They will not be able and unable to see what the gambling addict is doing so his wife will ask for a divorce so they can be free from the addict. If this happens, children will experience the psychological impact of the divorce and will always remember it in their memories. They will really hate the gambling addict and won't even want to see him again.

Gambling addiction only causes problems for the addict and his family, both directly and indirectly, so they will have difficulty repairing their relationship. Yes, it is indeed sad to see family relationships destroyed because of gambling and there is no chance of starting a new life again if the gambling addict does not realize his mistake and is addicted to gambling. The family will not want to meet the gambling addict if the addict has not been able to heal himself because he is very hurt by the addict. But if the addict is willing to realize his mistake and intends to cure himself of his gambling addiction, maybe his family will want to help him get out of his gambling addiction.

That's right, people will immediately realize when they have committed inappropriate actions in their lives, when they have already sold their property to use it as a place to gamble and in the end they suffer a lot of losses there, of course they will regret their actions, losing a lot of money and property. that they have. he had sold out so he experienced a downturn in his life.

Yes, not forcing yourself to gamble in pursuit of victory is the most appropriate step, because victory cannot be achieved easily and definitely requires struggle and patience. Therefore, when gambling, don't overdo it and don't force it under any circumstances, so that when you gamble you will also get a sensation of enjoyment from it.

Anything that is excessive is definitely not good because excessive things make it difficult to control oneself. For example, when someone gambles excessively, they are still determined even though they don't have the money to continue playing and don't accept if they experience losses, so they try to do anything to get money and continue gambling, whereas if we have limits in gambling we can control ourselves when we don't have money, especially if we sell valuable goods or property, of course this will be difficult for ourselves.

Yes, if the property is not used or will no longer be used one day, it is better to sell it so that the item is useful for other people and can use the money either for other things or for gambling so that your salary is intact and you don't need to make a deposit for some time, but If you don't have savings, it's better to use the money from the sale for other needs rather than just gambling where the money will run out quickly.

So far, I have never and will always try to avoid making decisions like this to sell property to gamble.
As a gambler. Again, it is important to have the right mindset when gambling. Selling property to gamble is the stupidest act in my opinion.

The mindset of gamblers like this is that most of them will always be of the view that when they sell property to gamble, they think they will buy another property if they win. even though this is the same as the mindset of going into debt for gambling, with the motivation that after winning you will pay off the debt. In fact, many gamblers go bankrupt because they have wrong thoughts like this. Best advice, gamble responsibly, if you don't have money, don't gamble yet.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Gambling is purely game of luck. For a game of luck, why would you risk so much? There is no certainty that you will win or lose in the game. But still you will sell the property in order to gamble. Gambling should be done when you have extra money for investment purposes. Don’t gamble with money that is being saved for future or used in paying bills. Else later on if by mistake something happens, there won’t be time to regret on this.

I have never sold a property for any gambling activity whatsoever beside am not a reckless gambler, selling a property to gamble is like planning to lose two things at the same time, how would one do such, though I can't say because addiction can trigger people to do what they didn't plan, it is very bad for anyone to be that reckless, I think there should be studies for people to test their addiction level, this addiction of a thing is not being funny again, for me I have a limit in gambling, no matter how it interest me I cannot go beyond my limit, I don't stake with what I can't afford to lose, I do this because of the effect it may have on me, lets trade this gambling with caution to avoid addiction.

There is a fine line between someone gambling and having fun at the same time and for example someone that is losing themselves down the self-destructive route. Some people do not know when to stop and that is when tragedy will strike. When gamblers isolate themselves from family and only think about gambling more and more to try to recover the losses they have already made, they are on a slippery slope to disaster.

I hope those that gamble always manage to stay aware of their personal limits and boundaries and do not take steps that will affect their family/home life or their own mental wellbeing.

Selling your property for gambling, depends on if is your last property cause I don't advice that but if you have more no problem,you can always recover.i no people who live by gambling and take care of there family and survive.if it works for you fine is all about believe.a person can sell is property to gamble he might have gotten an information of winning and it works for him he gets another property.but someone else has no information of what is gambling for you go into it and run at lost,is no one's fault.

Of course, I agree with you that doing crazy things just to gamble is a very stupid act or decision, as you said that gambling is a lucky or lucky activity which means that you will only be able to win when you are really lucky, No more than that while on the other hand anyone will never know when they can be lucky or when they can be lucky, so this means that you can never know when you can win in gambling, therefore it is a very reckless decision if you are willing to sell the valuable things you have just for something that never has certainty at the end of the session.

That's right, gambling should be done with extra money or that means when you have more money then you can gamble and without having to sacrifice something that is basically important in your life, gambling should be fun and not a place that can make you feel depressed, if you feel unusual pressure it means you have the wrong way or approach.

Well, selling anything of value (especially a home which could house a family) is not a wise thing to do. The effects of putting a family through the process of being on the street or sleeping on sofas at various homes belonging to friends is not ideal in any situation but to do that to feed an addiction is extremely worrying.

If the gambler is sure he is going to win the bet therefore sells his property, it is still not a risk-free strategy therefore it really should be avoided. There are no guarantees when it comes to gambling, I hope people who gamble are always responsible.

I don't believe that any gambler will get information before gambling that he will win the game. Everyone who gambles knows that there are both wins and losses in gambling and the risk are high. In gambling, a gambler never knows in advance that he will win, but he is tempted to think that he might win if he gambles.

But those who sell their property for gambling make a big mistake because if they lose gambling they will never get this property back. So gamblers should think at least once before gambling that gambling can destroy their lives and even their families.

Yes, that is the stupidest thing to do and I'm sure many people give advice like this, but rarely do they realize that this advice is important to remind yourself, in fact, experienced gamblers never suggest that gambling involves selling property, whatever. Even though the situation is difficult, not having money is not the right way to sell property to finance gambling. There are many cases of gambling addicts who go bankrupt because they sell all the property and assets their parents left for them as an inheritance, but they spent it on gambling.

It's a shame that there are still stupid people like that who want to follow their emotions and greedy behavior just to gamble and are willing to sell whatever they have, I don't think what is in their minds to do that, even though they should be gambling with money that they don't use or money that is really not used for living needs, for example bonus money or extra money, but why do people force themselves to gamble even though they don't have money? They are willing to sell their property just hoping to double their money, but few succeed and many go bankrupt. The average person who does this is a beginner.

Selling property for the sake of gambling is often unjustified. It is unlikely that you can win as much as the real estate is worth by making small bets. And if you make large bets - the probability of total bankruptcy increases greatly. It makes more sense to invest a lot of money in more or less reliable shares of companies - yes, they may go bust, but there is a chance to save something.

selling assets, property and possessions that they own will only put them at the point of misery, with those who sell property to gamble, in my opinion it can be said to be seriously addicted to gambling, because basically gambling must be done in a reasonable manner, and if they have doing that means they have done excessive gambling and as you said it is something that is inappropriate or should not be done, because by them doing this in my opinion this is a crazy act that is very outside normal limits.

That's right, we shouldn't chase after winning at gambling, because chasing after winning will only make our money run out, which is most likely, it can also trigger us to sell the property we own to make money and return to gambling. If you have lost because of the gambling you have done, please don't force yourself to continue gambling, don't be lulled by winnings that are said to be promising, do gambling appropriately, don't let actions occur that are outside normal limits, but if you are addicted then this can indeed happen. driven by greed or wanting to recover losses.

One of my professions is to be a professional appraiser, and I do not at all recommend selling real estate so that you can use it to generate fun in a casino, we are people who must be aware of our Pity, under no circumstances unless it is something very Urgent nature is that I recommend Selling a product, perhaps if someone needs to buy a medicine or do a surgical operation or a quick intervention of life or death it is the only thing because they are very reasons already taken to Another level , then given these things we We must do enough for us to do things well.

Selling a property is something very delicate , but I consider that the biggest irresponsibility that can occur is that it is to play in a casino, that is something that I cannot overcome , in this order of Ideas things can be different in as to why it has to be done.

Now, each person is the owner of his money , his Assets and it is in his hands to do whatever he wants, it may be that one of the ways that can generate this type of Desperation the most is for a person in total addiction, which I would recommend quickly Start Treatment with a psychologist and take the relevant measures for the case, I have seen that for minor reasons there are People who give them sleep cures and that is enough for them to get Excited and stop doing things like this, that for me they are crazy things caused by the Same effect that is Addiction , so in this other group of ideas we have to have that type of control, currently a Property of real estate is going to increase in level that is, it has a depreciation, But considering location and so many things , you can see many things that lead you to see that things have to be valued Taking this into Account , it would be very Interesting to Read about Psychology , to See how you can help People more.

Therefore prevention is much better than cure, on the other hand I am sure for people who do things based on common sense and awareness they will not be able to dare to take reckless actions like this, after all this is too risky and there is absolutely no guarantee to be able to return something that has been lost. I understand that everyone especially gamblers have the right to whatever they want to do, it doesn't matter if you want to sell your valuable assets just for the sake of gambling but with a note that you must be able to account for the results at the end of the session especially when the results are far from what you expected. On the other hand, I definitely agree with that it is better to put large sums of money in other things that do have the potential for a development in the money we put, whether it's stocks or other investments that do have prospects and certainty for return or recovery.

It's true, people who are addicted to gambling will do anything to be able to gamble according to their wishes. We see a lot in our environment that currently many people have lost their property so they can gamble and the impact of their actions on them. He could also lose or even be abandoned by the people closest to him because of the fatal mistakes he made.

Agree, gambling must be done in moderation and we should not chase wins that we are not sure we will get, accept defeat and stop for a moment not to continue gambling because we often experience defeat, so that is the most appropriate step for us gamblers. .

Selling your owned properties and gambling is a bad thing, of course, but selling someone else's property and using that for gambling is the worst thing one can do because you can't expect to win all the time from gambling and when you lose, you will be in extreme shock, fear, and anxiety because you have to face the person and tell them about what happened, and this fear is the reason why you would never want to face them again, at least not very soon.

I have never sold anything to fuel my gambling activities because I know it will only have negative consequences and I don't want to increase the problems of my life by doing that. It is a blessing if you have a job and can take care of your family with respect and grace, just gamble if you can spare a buck or two, and don't put yourself under too much pressure.

When the risk is big and the profits are small there isn't any need to take the risk because it's not profitable and still risky in a way you are not sure you will gain.
I agree to your comments that's some people who does things with common sense and with the awareness of what they are doing can not make these mistakes as they will think about the risk involved and if it doesn't worth it they just allow it flip away so they can avoid risking when losing is involved.
It can take much longer time to gather properties and can only take a seconds to sell them, to avoid any decisions that will make you sell is never to put the thought of recovering winning.

Selling property is never been that good and never always be not unless if you have sold your property but you are planning to apply it on other investment then it would be considerable
but if you are selling it just because you do tend to make use in gambling then you are just taking suicide. You would basically be burning those money into oblivion and you would really be
having those regrets on the time that you would really be realizing that you dont have more money into your pocket and this is why it would be best that you shouldnt really be taking this kind of option.
This is why it would really be that best that you shouldnt really be having those kind of decisions in life.

It is really just that impossible that you wont really be able to have those kind of thinking that you are really taking such great risks. No one on their right minds would really be
considering on selling out their property for leisure but well there are indeed those people and usually you can see these fellas on big casinos.

In gambling when you put a large budget amount then obviously the possibility of winning must also be large, but it's all nothing more than a "possibility" which means it doesn't necessarily happen, one of the things why we shouldn't put a large budget amount because of course there is absolutely no certainty for you to actually get a win at the end of the session, meaning the possibility of risk can never be avoided because what is called gambling is a certain amount of risk-taking activity, you will be able to be a healthy gambler when you only take low risks in the sense of putting a small amount on every gamble you do.

Yes you have repeated what I have said before that people who gamble based on their common sense and awareness will not dare to take risks that they cannot be responsible for in the end, as I said above that the possibility of risk can never be avoided completely and because of this responsible people prefer to put small amounts because the fear is that when they put large amounts that happen at the end of the session they lose, on the other hand they can win big but with a note must be really lucky while on the other hand anyone will never know when they are lucky. In gambling, the point is, never think about returning something that has been lost and don't put any hope in winning because this kind of mindset will only worsen your situation.

Players are willing to risk such large sums of money from the sale of real estate because they experience intense feelings that make them tickle their nerves. This euphoria from the fact that their life is about to change for the better, but at the same time they refuse to believe that they will lose. This unpredictability exalts them, they seem to be in flight. But after losing, this flight is interrupted by a loud impact on the ground and the gradual realization that the property can no longer be returned. The owner of a gambling establishment will be happy with such a client. And then the embittered player can attempt to win back by borrowing money from friends, but it won’t be nearly enough to win back the amount. So I did not recommend that anyone touch real estate, this is the basic level that allows us to live more calmly and with a roof under our heads without worrying that tomorrow we will have to spend the night anywhere.

I have often seen this case in the past few years and those who do this seem to have no other way when they are addicted to gambling. It is indeed very stupid for anyone who sells their property to make money from gambling and this is in the category of extreme gambling in my opinion. Gambling is supposed to be a means of entertainment when bored, but instead becomes a way to escape from problems they cannot solve.

Sometimes I also see cases around me where they pawn their house certificate so that they can get large funds quickly for gambling and instead of being able to take the house certificate back, they increasingly appear in debt because they cannot redeem the mortgaged house certificate. I think the importance of a sense of responsibility in gambling must be immediately corrected, especially in matters that include property and that is the worst case ever. Gambling is not for everyone and especially greedy people are not suited to this environment.

In principle, I can understand a problem player who pawns things in order to recoup. For him, all things (appliances and furniture) are just a way to get extra money for which you can gamble. Such a player is eager to prove to everyone that he is about to win and give away all the debts. At the same time, he think that will buy back all the things that he pawned. But this will not happen in most cases.
And this is a really important indicator - when a person sells things, you can't let them do it.

That is the most extreme form of addiction before the most extreme of all which is the suicide.That is simply out of the logic of any normal sane person.The property can always make you money in different forms with the most common form giving it for rent or in the other form where you live there not paying mortgage and as such contributing to the person benefit.It is an extremely stupid gesture to sell such a gold mine to gamble.

Suicide is the last option for gamblers who have nothing to sell, they'll think they are already at the end of the life so might as well they'll end their life. We should not be in that situation because of being irresponsible in gambling. The gambling world will continue to grow, they are here to stay but us, we might leave the world soon, and we can blame it to the gambling sites we are playing or any physical casino as it's ourself that is our problem here, the lack of discipline.

I think it's normal to think to win back our losses and finally on a profit. However, if the decision to sell a properly is not well thought, that's considered a bad strategy in gambling as it does not normally work. The problem is when the emotion is high, we want to win it all back instantly which will not happen most of the time since gambling is based on luck and skills of a player, with not thinking the right way, then we cannot expect a profit.

If professional gamblers wins in the long run, they experience the ups and downs in gambling until they succeed, they we aren't exempted. The problem is we don't want to go through the process as we don't trust it.

Everyone who gambles certainly wants to recover their lost losses and make a profit, but sometimes they are too reckless in calculating the risks, they think that pawning goods is the only strategy when they have lost their finances even though they actually don't make anything and have sold them. They only get more frustrated with all their valuables and may be desperate to take out loans just because they want to recover the losses they have experienced, even though when emotions dominate our minds, this will cause us to lose control and actually experience bigger losses.

Professional Gamblers have experience the ups and downs of gambling as long as they have been gambling and they have enjoy the process of their journey which may have been for quite a long period of time therefore they can also wins but still cannot be separated from losses but they can still handle it well so they don't have to selling goods just to gamble.

In my opinion, people who are addicted to gambling could lose their common sense, even by selling the property they own, they could lose their common sense, not only losing money, it's true what you said, they could also lose the people closest to them if they continue to be addicted which has a bad impact on themselves, because the bad impact of gambling will not only be received by themselves, of course it can spread to those closest to them such as family or friends.

Also, in my opinion, this can cause big conflict, because in my opinion, gambling addiction has an impact that can affect many things, if the money is clear for sure, also with gambling addiction I think it can cause problems in relationships, whether with family or friends or even partners. If you are married, you must understand the statement about the large chance of losing so you don't gamble excessively.

It is normal that we think of winning back the losses we have experienced. But if it is by selling the property we own, that is not the right solution because when we sell the property and use the money to gamble, the property is completely lost when we've sold it. We may not be able to buy the same property again because the price may have risen and we will find it difficult to buy it again. We should allocate a certain amount of money for gambling and never think about selling property or items in our house to gamble. After all, you only need to play gambling in moderation, and you don't need to spend a lot of money, so you don't suffer a lot of losses.

As gamblers who have been gambling for a long time, we have to be able to think about the losses that will come to us more often so what we have to overcome is how we can prevent too many losses so that we don't spend all the money we have. We also can't gamble for too long because we have other activities that we have to do.

Trying to win back your losses? This is something not that recommendable i should say on which this thing would really be definitely be pushing up yourself on becoming that desperate because
on the time that you do saw your bankroll is depleting and seeing or having those consecutive losses then this is where you would really be starting on stirring up your mind and your emotions
and since we are just humans then we would really be having those impressions and having those mindset that we should really be taking back on what we have lost. On the time that you dont
see anything around as an option then you would definitely be going into further step on which you might be ending up on selling your property or whatever things that has value for you to be
able to satisfy into those things that you do have in mind.

Selling property to continue gambling is not a solution. However, it is not normal to think of winning back your losses. This should never be considered as normal or accepted as a normal behavior. This is the main reason why gamblers often consider selling their property. Their sole focus is on winning back their losses. The best thing to do is to avoid this mindset. Once a gambler loses all their money, they should not think of playing again for a while. They should take a break and avoid the urge to play again. If they try to gamble again, it is highly likely that more losses will occur.

I think he was probably using hypothetical scenarios involving insider information, such as when someone was told in advance a footballer was going to commit a foul and receive either a yellow or red card (something on the lines of a football goalkeeper deliberately letting in a certain amount of goals while pretending to try his best at saving them). Other than that, gambling is gambling and there are no guarantees therefore selling property in the hope of getting those funds back along with a win margin is a highly risky strategy and definitely not recommended.

Yes they can't ignore something they feel that is influenced by the temptation of gambling, I say they are too "prejudiced for gambling that is full of logic" so obviously because of this they are unable to miss all the whispers that enter their ears and minds. I think it's nothing more than the expectation of winning that makes them think of a million ways just to chase something that basically can never be chased unless by "chance" you're really lucky.

The hope that they put on winning makes them eventually rule out the possible risks involved in gambling and that can never be separated from this activity, and however the realization will usually come at the end along with regret. On the other hand, of course, casinos will be very happy with the audience or typical gamblers who are always greedy and who can never accept the fact of defeat like addicts because with gamblers who are always excessive in the sense that they have a wrong understanding, it will make casinos more and more profitable, and this is the reason why gambling should not be taken seriously let alone make it a place to earn because obviously the opposite will happen.

Addiction gambling ain't no joke. Selling your house to chase losses? That's straight-up scary. It's not just about being disciplined and treating it as fun, sometimes it's like a monster taking control. It ain't just "oops, I lost some cash." It's relationships crumbling, mental health taking a nosedive, and even physical health getting wrecked. Gambling addiction is a serious deal, and pretending it's just about self-control misses the whole picture.

Wouldn't it be bad if someone was addicted to gambling and everyone around him also felt the impact? Problems that often arise over and over again due to the fault of just one person will make things worse in the family environment and in one's own life. but in fact currently there are still many people who experience it and of course this is an example of experience and a lesson for us as gamblers so that as far as possible we don't become addicted as you said, which is a good thing. understanding of the true risks of gambling.

They don't need to sell their property to continue gambling and that is not a good way to continue their gambling activities. But if they do that, maybe they have experienced a gambling addiction where they have the desire to continue gambling and don't pay attention to the allocation of funds for gambling. Selling property to gamble will only make them completely lose their property, and they will not be able to buy the same property as before. They also will not have a guarantee of winning the gambling game even if they sell the property, so the decision to sell the property is wrong. If they gamble, they experience a total loss, which will make them really lose all their money, and the property will be gone when they sell it, so they will not be able to buy the same property according to the selling price.
