Do you guys think the these addicted gamblers will think about their family members before gambling all their money?

No,thay dont think about family,friends it is like drugs use,i know some storys about people who couldnt stop,his life went in ruins.It is  same way cured like drug use and same way  it start.Better to be careful

If they think about family then they will not gamble even though they lose all their money

I think maybe the reason they chose to gamble is because they want to keep their families happy .Pay their bills or pay the fees for their kids high school .Everyone has their own responsibilities .Gamblers are humans too they just chose not to use the hard way which is good but not all end up being successful .

well that is questionable some will and some wont.
i can say that gambling is hard addiction but it can be controled.
but not everyone can do that, thats why there is soo much people with ruined life and family...

no they will never thinking for they family
because if they have a lot of money which in they mind is how to spend all the money by doing a gamble

for sure it has a huge impact , if we assume that this gambler is making money from gambling we shouldn't forget that he is spending time on gambling and this time should be spent with family
if it's about poker  then married poker players organize their time well with a full schedule  cause basically they are playing poker for a living so the family should consider the father or the son at his work when he is playing

Nope you can't judge people like that. There are so many motivation for some people to get in gambling. Some of them are just having fun and most of them want to get profit to help their family matter. So I dont think so most of them never think their family, may be some of rich people do that but mostly they will think about their family or girlfriend to earn more

I think they still think after they lose. But the moment they are gambling they are too emotional and think only on gambling.

image of gambling is very bad, but a lot of people who gamble for a profit and could improve the state of his wallet,

maybe pab often watched a movie about gambling/casino, so that his mind only about ugliness gambler lol  ;D

It's changing from mentality, life conditions etc. there are a lot of parameters. You can't group and judge people you don't know. If gambler plays good and earn good money you can't blame them. They see this as a job, better than a random day job. They try to do it in perfection.

Addicted gamblers dont care for sure ,its all about addiction not just gambling .
those who are into it for fun and opportunities do take care for their family etc...

Gambling all their money?
That's horrible.

Gamblers who cannot control themselves will make their family going to bankrupt.
Feel sorry about them. They just keep the fantasy that they can got money from gambling.

For some game, maybe you can get. But in many game, you just lose.
And the best trap is when you lose big money from it, you will think that you must to get them back. Boom

Losing streak.

Self control is a main part of gambling so far as you have self control you can get up and up getting profits but if you dont have it greed will certainly bust you up.

IMO once a gambler is called addicted he couldnt think of saving some money for his personal expenses even for his family, otherwise he is not called addicted. for me addicted gambler dont really have control over himself :/

For some addicted and greed gambler, their mind had corrupted for everything. They can even insult or mocking their family to fulfill his gambling need.
But as always, it must be stop before it's too late and only the family can help that gamble

There was a guy in my neighbourhood who sold his house and car for gambling...
I assume they dont care .

Maybe the actually want a lot of money to suffice their family needs? Like basic needs? Not everyone dreams of becoming Bill Gates or Warren Buffet through Gambling but just a plan for better tomorrow .

If you consider betting as a full time job, with proper bankroll management, brains in head - you can do it for living. It's hard, but it's really possible. Don't thin k that everyone, who gambles automatically loses.

But still there are chances to loose the money and at the end it will be really difficult for those people who are full time involved in gambling. This will also impact the families of gamblers, they will not get a good life due to losses in gambling.

A gambler will not think of anything else, just the gambling itself. So this person will have no family life is he/she is very addicted.

I disagree to you what you mean that a single person will became addicted in gambling because he dont have family to think? There are single gambler that not addicted in gambling they have selfcontrol and there are also married people who has children became addicted .

i doubt that gamblers think too much about their families they just want to make easy free money and usually fail doing that

No, I did not Believe that they think about their family before gamble because at that time they saw only big profit and after loss they cry and ask for more funds from their family members

Yes, agreed with you, If the people are addicted towards gambling then they will not think about their families. They will keep playing till they lost their last penny, if they are addicted then they will blindly spend all the money without thinking about the families.

My father is a gambling addict, and he rarely gives us his salary as he always spends that on gambling houses. There are cases in which he would sell his phone only to gamble the proceeds. Having a breadwinner like that is hard; you really have to find ways to earn money and not rely from a gambler to feed you and your family.

That is really very sad. This is the problem with most addicted gambler their mind always think about gambling and becoming rich from that method. They also willing thinking that I already become expert because they lost so much money and now they know all the tricks in gambling so they try their luck again and again but their families need to suffer.

Last week I watched a real life story in television of a mother whom destroy his family because of addiction in gambling. she almost live in casino. She become irresponsible to his son and husbund, she sell his thing to just have money and barrow. Husband ask the owner to banned hin casino do not give allowance/money but because she still continue going and find other man she became a mistress and destroy his family and live together his man and continue addiction in gambling.

Addiction in gambling makes you selfishness attitude.

Yes that is very true no gamblers will think of their family and any one they always will be thinking which game will bring them profits. Also they are ready to scam any one for money.

Gamblers will think only about their profit and lose but nothing else in their mind. If they win also they think how to increase their profits again and if they lose then they will think again how to win or how to generate money for gambling. So their mind is always busy with these thinks but time for family or friends but they will go to these people when they need money from them for sure.

in fact there is good and bad at gambling
usual on the tv is always evils of gambling,

I am sure many members here, gambling to earn a profit and improve the economy

Gamblers usually end up depressed, homeless, or loveless.

Family desert them, they run out of money, or even none wants to date a Gambler.

Life will slowly get more and more boring for the gambler until he starts taking loans, then gets stuck under a mountain of debt.


That's how the gambler's story goes.

most of them are not going to think of his family, gambling makes a person selfish, they know just want to get profit from gambling
are your father was cured of gambling now?

Gambling will fully affect guy's family, as his/her relatives will shun them, in fear of him losing their money, or worse, disgust.

Gambling is a killer, guys and gals.

When you're thinking about only losses then you will not get chance to think about your family or the real situation of your financial status. This makes many gamblers to bet more and more and then they lose everything they have. This is the worst of situations and how they gamblers family get affected because of his losses.

It's because they didnt learned anything from gambling ,they just lost.

I think this is just old school mentality.IMO's

I can confirm this as my father is a problematic gambler himself. He rarely gives us his salary and he is always irritated when he goes home. The situation forced me to work at an early age and now, I provide the basic necessities my family needs.

Nope. Most people that gambling is trying to get more money and they sure have someone that they think like their famly girlfriend or may be friends. So at least they have some motivation who will get their winning money so I dont think gambler never think of anything when they gamble

It will really impact the families of gamblers. If he is full time into gambling then his family will be also depending on his income from gambling. If he is winning continuously then his family can have a good life and if he is loosing all the time then his family will suffer from financial problems.

Agreed with you, if a person is badly addicted towards the gambling then it can destroy his family life. People always maintain distance from such people because of their habit of asking for money, it can also kill their social life. So its always better to stay away from gambling and not to involved full time.

gambling is really like a drugs, personally i bet every day to sport book, little amount, but i lose very more time for see the statistic, all sport betting comparaise site and much more, later i see all match. More time i don't go to restaurant or bowling, only for see the match (already if i don't like a match, but i have bet)

gambling can impact gamblers family a lot first of all they might loose their relatives money and secondly gamblers cant make a living from their games

Not necessarily, there are plenty of professional poker players who make a living off playing poker, for example, take Antonio Esfandiari (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Esfandiari), his total live poker tournament winnings exceed $26,250,000.

For sure they won't, the addiction is far superior than the family concept for most of them.

already a lot going on like that, where an impoverished family because his father continued to gamble,
how do I fix it?

if he does not think of his family, what he thinks about the risk of defeat?
because if I gamble I always think about the risks

All gamblers will spend a lot time for predicts and see the statistic..
I also already spend a lot money and time for sport book, sometimes it's really fun, but it also wasted my time a lot.

Will reduce it. (not too enthuastic again)

Gambling is just like any other addiction.

Its considered a problem only if it affects your life. So if you are constantely gambling and you are paying bills late then its a problem.

But if you do it for fun on the weekends, then there is nothing wrong with that.

I suppose if they are winning a lot it would be beneficial. If they have an addiction then it will most certainly lead to financial ruin.

agree, yes if the gambling does not ruin your life, its no problem,
if you want to gambling, play suit your money, use 5-10% of your money to have fun in gambling, if you lose it doesn't matter

I can't agree with you because I meet some people that make living from gambling and they have such a good family though, although sometimes when they are losing it is a little bit hard for them but it is ok since they can maintain their financial problem so I dont think they will lose all of their family just because they lose on gambling

They will start out not planning to gamble all their money. but, once the ball is rolling and they start trying to make their losses back the rational thought goes out of the window and all they think about is winning back their losses and the slippery slope continues. They do think about their families but usually around the same time it is to late :(

Yes, that is the real life of any gambler who got addicted into gambling. Usually they do not bother about the social status or how they will be living in future along with many loans. These are the problems people get just because of the addiction towards gambling.

No i dont think family for gambling. Gambling is for fun and chalenging if i lose my money in gambling no family in my mind.
But i think some people thinking for his family maybe he tying to have a luck in gambling to have a money for their family...

For an addicted gambler, when he gambles, he will not think of anything else, including family. He will concentrate on gambling only.

Just like drugs, alcohol anything the last thing an addict thinks about is family.  I am not saying they don't think about them but they are addicted and after the lose or come down or whatever they feel remorse usually. 

those people are very rare ,when you are gambling full time i dont think you can maintain the financial problems,
people who gamble now and then and are working (job) can maintain as they have a job,Not full timer's though.

This guy has a good understanding of addiction.

When addicted gambler start to loose he thinking about his loose only. Family can be in his mind deep inside, but lost money in front of eyes.

Yes the gambling addicted people will not bother about their family or friends ortheir own social status. If thinking and minding all the time just about gambling only. So before and get into gambling we must evaluate our emotional not to get addicted to gambling by any chance.

You can't blame a group of people because they all act different. Most of the great gamblers don't play for their living money, they don't put risk in it. They save that and play for other money. If they have other incomes it's not too hard.
You can't win everyday. Some days you'll lose and some days you'll win. That's why you shouldn't put your %100 money in one bet.

Gambling will affect the gamblers family when the gambler tried to recoup his money by placing bigger bets. After he loses them all, he will try to borrow the money from his family so problem gambling has a bad effect on the family of the gambler.

Gambling is cause of all evil within your circle  It will ruined everything that you have including your family, friends, and all people that surrounds you.
The common responses from your "circle" were a loss of trust, anger towards you, depression and sadness, anxiety,reduced quality of time spent and lack of communication.  :-X

Since gambler's mind usually got corrupt by gambling greed , They can do anything for gambling include mocking or insult his own family.
But this attitude surely cause by bad environment since they were kid. So parental guardian is the most important key to prevent this happen

your point is subjective to kids , a grown adult gambler has to analyze and take gambling/finance decisions accordingly.
dont blame it on parents.

IMHO, parents(adults) are also at risk of developing gambling problems towards their children, showing this act will actually will lead them to follow their act also.  In short, it will transmitted their act to their children  more likely to have gambling problems too.

I grew up around gambling, it was everywhere, all my free time was spent in gambling areas.
I don't have any addictive gambling tendencies. 

The problem is they do think about their families, or at least they think they do. Many addicted gamblers justify their actions by that they want to earn more money for their families. But that's a lame excuse IMO.

Usually they are thinking about profit and what it could do for their family.  Rarely are they thinking about family when they are losing or playing or anything.  They usually feel remorse afterwards

For sure you a point out of the curve, the enviroment sometimes dictates people's behavior.

Power and greed corrupts the mind, whether it be a gambler or anyone elses.
The story never ends well if a family member has a gambling problem. They start to ask other members to lend them money and always lie about what the money is for. It is a disgrace on that family to have one that is addicted to gambling because it is shame that never is easily forgotten.

there's a lot of gambler who lost their family. i mean,their family dont want to live with gambler. Because if the gambler,gamble a lotsn then the gambler families doesnt eat anything. car and house were sold,to pay all the dept because of gambling. thats is what happen in my country.

If you gamble with a very small proportion of your disposable income, it is OK to gamble as it is just like buying some expensive goods.

There is extrem examples in any adiction. There is cases where people forgot about their children when they gamble, one extreme case was in Colorado i think, woman played slots for more then six hours, and forgot about her daughter in car on hot sun. So   answer is pretty clear when they gamble they will forget about rest of the world. Addiction is a bad thing, all people should learn to control their mind. Its ok from time to time to have fun, but when any vice start to affect your personality or family u going in addiction.

Yes gambling is very addiction and they may lose all their money in gambling within no time. If one addicted and they will ready to do any kind of work or anything to generate money for gambling so their families is the one will suffer lot, not only by financially but also lot of other issues. That's why one should be knowing when to quit the gambling if they lose money.

Yes gambling will impact more on gambler's family then actual gamblers. If family depends these gamblers then they may suffer even without food also.

It depends on who you are. If you're a professional gambler (ie. poker play at WSOP) then as long as your family knows what you're doing and you don't gamble with your life savings you should be fine. If you're a casual addicted gambler (where you are likely to lose more than you win), then the best advice would be to stop. There is literally no point throwing more money away if it doesn't give you any happiness.

He/she will either make a big sum of money, then waste it on luxury or going back to the casino and losing it all.

Most gamblers however always lose and never win.

Addicted person doesn't think of anything else that how to satisfy his/her need of stimulants.
Addicted gamblers don't want to earn big money and stop. They want to play endlessly to satisfy their urges.

exactly, addiction is the same no matter what a person is addicted to. it can be anything from a video game to something as simple as food. to an addict, getting their fix comes before everything else, even if it may be their basic needs. just take a look around at this section, half the people complain that gambling is causing them to lose all their money, yet they continue, fully knowing they'll lose everything.

I dont think at least some of them will think their family when they want to start gambling. Not all addicted person just want to satisfy his hunger of gambling by gambling a lot, one day they wont have enough money to bet and how are they going to satisfy it? They will change eventually

Addicted people might think about their family, but put family in lower than the addicted causes. If they have some money, they will spend on the addition first, on family second.

well the whole family might have no money if there is one gambler there that likes to gamble all the money he has

Full time gamblers or addicted to gambling persons surely can't pay attention to their family and friends which creates social problems for them.These categories of persons have one thing in mind to make more and more money or to recover their loss which make them limited to some room or casino.i saw many home broken because of gambling addiction.

When someone is gambling is loosing then can go all in with explanation that he is doing for the betterment of his family to provide them all facilities.This is not true and responsible person should give more importance to family than anything else.Gambling will destruct all what you have.

i doubt that families might be affected at all if they will not give him money or hide it from gambler as in such way he wouldnt have anything to play with

But if the gambler had a serious addiction, he could turn to crime for the money, hence still affecting the family.

Threads like this are borderline trolling, this isn't a gambling addiction website, if people have a problem they can use google to find a help centre or psychologist or whatever.

Gambling can effect one's family only if they are betting with amounts they can't afford to lose, that's the only answer that needs to be said.

Most people have a level of self control.

Well said.  I completely agree.  Without self control you can blame everything else and its easy to do so, however the real problem is that you have no self control.  People seem so quick to blame anything but themselves whether it be gambling, drugs, sex, whatever your addiction might be its you, not the thing you are addicted to

People with any type of addiction will have an issue with thinking of their family before they feed on their addiction.  Whether it be gambling or booze, an addiction is just that, and addiction.  These people do not think of the consequences of their actions before then make decisions.  So the answer will be, a great deal of damage.

i don't think so
i think if a guy already addicted in something (i means not only for gambling), when this guy got focus on it, this guy will forget about their time, their health, their responsibility and their family

True to a point.. They don't forget them entirely, they usually only realize what they are doing to themselves and their family after the addition is satisfied, or lost for that matter.

If you mean an addicted gambler it almost like drug dealer, it mean that people will never think or care for anybody it include they families and they bestfriends. He only think how to get money for gambling.. In general if you cant control yours betting behaviours yours live will be dumped later..

Gambling will surely have negative impact on the family of full time gambler because family needs not only money but also time to spend with them.Many people think money isn't everything and I personally saw many families broken because of addiction of gambling.

Well addicted gambler always without any serious feelings so i don't think it will care about his family members or friends it all about freedom and careless life like most of addicted person like to live with his own way.

Addicted person has no thinking without mind and soul i think family values has no more meaning for any addicted person because addiction of anything has same impact.

Full time gamblers family will always be in problems both socially and individually.Even professional gamblers which are financed or pay to gamble for other face lot of problems because of lack of time for their loved ones.family should be at first place and gambling should be avoided as much as can because it leads to addiction and destruction in the end.

lol true full time gamblers hardly get to enjoy their money as their always on edge thinking about if they'll be able to make more money to live on

I don't think anyone can do that because if gambler itself a solo earner for full family then how?

If any one addicted to gambling then very difficult for them to come out of that mind set unless some one take him to the place where don't have any internet and any casino's play then they may slowly come back to the normal life.

Agreed with you, it will be really difficult for the people to stay away from gambling if they are addicted towards gambling. If these people are making the money then there will be problem but if they are loosing the money then their family will be affected and there will be lot of financial problem.

It ruined my family. My mother died poor because of me. What more to say?

Of course they would think about their family and how they are losing their money, but then if that person were to get a big win it would solve all the problems, this is the trap of being a gambler I guess.

Sorry to hear that. But why would your mother died poor because of you? Are you the sole earner of the family? It is better not to gamble too addicted. Gambling is just a game to have some fun. It cannot earn most people living.

You should recompensate this somehow in your life.

Of course if they are full time gamblers it is a big problem for their family.

They are doing nothing that will make them money and probably are losing money full time too.

They must be like money burners, their family's money, of course

My father is a problematic gambler. He isn't divorced but has a lot of debt. He still loves us though his gambling habits are destroying our family. I agree that most of the time, gambling leaves out families broken and partners separated. The only good thing is that he still doesn't leave his family alone.

Most addictions don't make the person hate the family they are with.  Most are caused by tons of other reasons.  Most people who are addicted still love their family but have an illness.

yup, most of the addictive gambler will not hate the family. it is just that they have difficulties controlling their emotion when come to gamble. they r just like any other normal person in all the other ways  but when it come to gambling. it is a whole diff story.

I don't think what you said it correct. If any one thinks about family and by knowing they will not addict in these gambling games. Because they know so many people lost money in gambling but still they are trying to make money by using all there earned money means they are not at all thinking about their families. I think families will suffer more then these gambler.

The addicted gamblers will have less feeling about their family than the gambling. If their family do not support their gambling causes and do not lend them money, they might hate them.

If they are full time gamblers then it wouldn't be a problem to them since they will be used to being so poor and being so rich but about bitcoin gambling from them well it would affect their life a lot such as they can have extra money or extra lost money..

I know a guy who got divorced by his wife , lost his job and all he does is staying at the sportsbook. He has ruined his life, cause he had a job, he had a wife and a kid. Now he lost them all because of his greed. If you become addict , you are finished.

I don't think that is true. Many forms of addiction hurt families and most spouses don't leave them but try to help them out.

Yeah there are loners out there. Who gamble since they have not family and go for companionship. But most of us are with a family and when there is an addict
the whole family knows it.

No matter how you see it, everybody around you will feel the bad things if you are an addict.
The first are you closets friends & family then the futher relatives. One more then the other, but everybody feels it.

Well if my family know that I'm gambling, they will punish me for goods.
As we know gambling will make people more greed than ever so sometime they will not hestitate to hurt their own family

This will not work if you can control yourself, gambling is not something that you need to get away because gambling is not that bad. Gambling is being made just to entertainment us so if you manage to control yourself this is possible that you can free from greediness

It affects a lot. And I know this from my own experience. When I started to play poker online I was so addicted that I would never spend time with my family and instead would lose hours in front of the screen gambling. I've learned the hard way that you should never put gambling in front of your family  Just don't miss the chances of spending time with your family because time won't go back and you might end up regretting it.

What hand and brain went ever paired......

First off if you are doing it right your family won't even notice you are gambling daily/weekly. I for example read about the matches I am going to play late in the night so when I wake up early in the morning I am ready to place my bets in and off to work or tending to family matters. Remember you control your gambling and not the other way around  ;)

In real life, gamblers gambling habit affects the family so much, and even an online gambling affects a gamblers family life... aside from the fact that their hard earned money might be busted in just one turn, sometimes, a gambler has a nasty attitude..sometimes when they are busted, they tend to hate anyone, and the reverse if they won..most of the gamblers has vice and sometimes a drunkard or a chain smoker too.. But what really a gambler forgot to give "time" to their family...

Your family will dont like it when you are going to gamble. It is all wasted money and they know it.
But you must realize by yourself, that is the most important. Maybe you must control yourself and know that gambling is very bad.

I think no. He only think how to doubling his money with gambling, and don't care about if he lose and his family member. That's why addicted gamblers should get help.
