Apparently this (https://www.facebook.com/100068841709866/posts/pfbid0DRwwfsVfKzEYyoLFzU6Ku3o7eEzKh6igPUfnWHH6kWTdFqVCdwuQFnvznJkBQzEyl/?app=fbl) is a true live event happened in my State this week and almost everyone is talking about it. About a young man that killed himself after a gamble loss, he even left a message for his family and friends before taking his life.  But I wonder why should someone take his own life  just because he lost  #2.5 million to gambling an amount  equivalent to just about $3k. I can relate to his loss but taking your life is something unimaginable and unjustifiable to do. No matter the regrets suicide isn't an option to be taking as a solution , you are only leaving bigger pains  behind for your loved ones.

This is just another reminder to we all gamblers that no bet is sure and guaranteed, don't ever use an amount of money you are not comfortable to lose just because you feel convicted in your mind that the game will play as predicted. There's no such thing as sure bet in gambling.

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

I was coward to kill myself. No amount of money that I lost that will make me kill myself. If there is life there is hope.

This kind of problem starts from depression and hopelessness. He might thought there is no way out anymore. But this is wrong. He might be richer than what he thought he would have become if he has not killed himself.

It is painful to hear this kind of story.

When I was addicted to gambling, I lost huge amount of money and I was depressed and thought there is no future for me. But I saw more opportunities that I was not expecting after I thought all has ended.

We have the same mantra here, there's hope as long as we are alive.
That's what I keep to myself when everything seems wrong around me.
Though we can't blame some people to take it on their own hand about their fate.
That is true, for sure, he felt, there's no way out anymore on his situation.
We don't know what's going on with his mind but for him, that's his ultimate solution.

This is another example of a gambler who decided that they can make gambling their source of income, or those that want think they can get a game that is 100% sure and because of that deposit their life’s savings into their gambling account.

It’s indeed a sad story, I’m pretty sure that he could have been done better things that would have helped him make more than that amount that made him commit suicide.


This is the same as asking someone “what amount will they sell their life for?” No amount should be worth one committing suicide even if it’s not related to gambling, we have seen billionaires turn into poor overnight and yet they are still alive trying to survive with the few things that they have. That’s just to say how priceless one’s life is.

I read about this new earlier today,  and I wanted to see more fact about the nature and amount he lost, until I read this thread that I got the details of what really happen to this young man,  and the only thing I can say about this incident is that,  there is more to the story than what we read,  may be the guy have being battling depression for a while now,  which is why he can go on that kind of insane betting  pattern and huge stake.

So before we blame it all on gambling,  let us also first of all consider the other factors that could have lead him into gambling and from the look of things,  it seems that the guy have issues with gambling addictions for him to have staked such an amount that he can't afford to lose,  but even at that,  the situation is not up to what should have lead him to take his own life for whatever reasons.

It's just sad to hear such an event.
This are the kind of people are the guys who have left the mark of bad impression on gambling.. I hated the word gamble so much because I have heard a lot of case of this nature made me say I won't ever go close to any thing gamble.

No Matter what you loss you stand a chance to get 10x of it if you're still alive I lost an amount I can't afford to lose before though not in gambling but I felt depressed to some extent and one day I thought of otherwise but remember i have some many things i have not enjoyed. Like wtf would I commit suicide now i have over 100x of what I lost back then.

Jess.. this niggi just f**Ked up !

This is the worst-case scenario that can happen to a person engaged in gambling.  I think the person lost all his finances and at the same time the money is allocated to somewhere important.  To not experience the possible bad outcome of his action, the person committed suicide leaving those he left behind in much grief and financial destruction.

The guy is a coward and selfish.  I feel sorry for those relatives he left since these people will bear the burden this guy had done.  This instance should teach us that too much gambling can lead to mental pressure that can lead to death.  Only gamble what we can afford to lose. Gambling is fun as long as we are in control so better engage gambling with moderation and learn how to be a responsible gambler.

If this is how it is, he supposed to think about the consequences if he lost the money. That is how some people are. People need to think not about the profit only but also if it would be loss. People should just not see gambling as a way to make money, it is a way to ruin oneself life if using it for money making. Gambling can not be used to make money. It takes than give.

We have read and heard of stories like this and this may not be the last. People need to think of what will happen to them if they lose the money they want to spend on gambling before they gamble with the money at all.

Taking your own life is just a stupid solution to think about, you have loved ones and family you can share how and what you are going through with, some might even offer to assist you get back on your fit seeing how remorse you are about your gambling actions. People have lost money much more than this and they maned up and face life along the way things changed for a better for them. Why lose money and also lose your life. The painful aspect about suicide is that it's the family of the person that bears the disgruntled pains you gonna leave behind for them. Losing money is never the end of life.

I don't think there will be an amount that would make me commit suicide, not just in gambling but also in other financial matters like investment, or if somebody didn't pay me for a big amount borrowed, and so on. As a matter of fact, I see no reason why a person should commit suicide.

Anyway, this is one of the craziest reasons to take your own life. First, he should have known that this is gambling. He could win but he could also lose. Second, that's not even a very huge amount. Third, if he earned that amount before, he can earn it again, so why kill oneself?

I'm sure his life worthed much more than 3000$. Actually, life has no price. It's not possible to put any material price on life, because it transcends the material. It's so valuable that we don't even have words to say how valuable it is. For that reason, it's really sad to see people getting desperate and taking extreme measures like that. I understand he couldn't support the feeling of having lost the money, and he just wished to cease that aversive emotion, so he shutted off his own life in order to do so. Suicide is the most extreme measure to escape from an aversive situation.

Now that his soul may rest in peace, and that his story can be useful for people in your region to promote mental health discussions among the youngsters and to teach them how to deal with emotions in a healthy and rational way, so stories like this don't repeat in the future. Lost money can be recovered, and that is not really the biggest of the problems. There will be always an opportunity ahead to make more money, but life is precious and unique, so let's preserve and maintain it in first place.

Gambling is a dangerous thing if got addicted to. Gambling is always associated with mental breakdown, suicide and homicide.
People addicted to gambling keeps on increasing their bet amount and risk when they start loosing and don't even stop when they are finally winning.
When they bet everything they have, they takes the family possession, takes loans, destroys them and their family which is a recipe for suicide and homicides.
People should learn to be responsible before leaning into high stakes gambling.

Well, first of all, condolences to the family. The answer is no. There is no certain amount or specific amount wherein a person will kill themselves or commit suicide just because they lose such money in gambling; it will depend on the emotional state of the person. I think this guy in the article cannot take such losses. Maybe because the money he used is important or has something to spend on, but sadly he loses it in gambling, or really, this person is emotionally and mentally weak. I don't discriminate against the guy; I'm just saying that maybe he has weak emotions and mentality, and that's why he can't take the loss and result in suicide, which only weak emotions and mentality can do.

Anyway, this should serve as a lesson to everyone: those who know for themselves that they can't take the pain or impact of losing such money should never ever think of playing gambling. If the money is very important to you, then don't enter this field because gambling is all about the risk of losing money.

I do not any amount of money that would make me do this and if such amount of money exist i can not put it on a gamble, is just as saying you are gambling with your own life in the line doing such. Most people believe in the god of luck and they will continue to lost their bet because even in a carefully analyse game there is still chance of lost but we can not solely depend on luck i guess that why it would be advisable not bet more than with your free money which is the money you can lost

there have been threads like this before, such as a minor gambling using his friend money, then losing and committing suicide, and also a business company owner in my country gambling on slots, losing a lot of money and finally committing suicide, and there are still several similar stories that I dont remember.

these are all bad conditions for a person's mental state, even though we think why should we commit suicide when the loss does not exceed $1m and there are still many solutions to be able to restore it, but unfortunately the mental condition experienced by each person is different and usually those who commit suicide after losing a lot they have mental a weak person and a mind that is influenced by high levels of depression so that the person has excessive fear and chooses to end his life and in incidents like this, the most important thing to pay attention to is do not use any money for gambling except the remaining money from daily needs.

If the question was addressed to me, certainly money would not make me do the bad thing of ending my life by committing suicide. money can still be earned but life cannot be paid for with money and every problem there is always a solution so anyone who bets loses a lot of money, try to think critically if all problems will have a solution and dont do bad things that will harm the family that loves us.

In fact, nothing justifies a person taking this attitude, but what we need to think about are not the reasons that led them to commit suicide, but rather the mental state in which that person was.

Losing a lot of money often means that the person has ruined their life and that of their family forever, either because they created a debt that they will never be able to pay again or because they gave a valuable and indispensable asset as "guarantee". Unfortunately, some people cannot deal with the consequences they have caused and for them the easiest thing is to "cease to exist".
Some cannot find the courage to take their own lives, and so they choose the world of abandonment, begging, and running away from their family.

In any case, we can't judge people like this, the most we can do is sympathize with them and whenever we notice something similar in a relative or friend, offer help.

This is the umpteenth time that people who have made mistakes in gambling have definitely done stupid things like that.
Previously, there was child who was still at school and also the head of family who could not resolve the problem of debt caused by gambling.
But what really makes it shame is why their last choice is to commit suicide when all the problems that occur will definitely have the best solution even though it means going through many difficult things.
I sure that previously people who did this did not want to tell anyone, including their family that they had experienced something difficult, whereas if they were willing to share their story there would be a better solution.


Of course there is, maybe he used money that was intended to be used for important things so he couldn't accept the defeat.
It could also be that he used more than half of his savings so that when he lost he felt mental pressure which made him depressed and made the decision to commit suicide.

That is so sad but can't blame that to gambling but his addiction.

However, ending our life because we made mistakes losing a lot of money is still a wrong decision. It's not ours to end it, God gave that to us so he's the only one allowed to take it. Man, this is a sad story, so we have to learn from this and that is by being responsible in gambling.

How to be responsible in gambling? (you can search more on google if you want to know, but I have few list I could share).

1-start with funds in gambling what you can afford only
2-Don't be greedy
3- have fun and always be realistic about winning and losing, none of us lose or win everyday, so it's normal to lose or win.

I don't want to be a coward, whatever happens I will face every problem because every problem has a solution. Suicide is not a good way out, as long as I am still alive, there will be hope to get out of the pressure and live a better life in the future. Depression can make a person short-minded, especially since he often closes himself off by keeping his problems a secret from other people.
Everyone has family, friends and other closest relatives to share every problem with, they will try to help solve the problem by finding solutions so that the problem is resolved. He has chosen his own path, this story is the most valuable experience for other gamblers to be more careful if they are not able to withstand the pressure after losing a bet.

Like I don't even understand why someone will take their life just because they lost a bet, this is the more reasons why I tell people to gamble as they can be able to endure and that gambling is a game of chance as anyone that wants to get involved in gambling should have it at the back of their mind that they may either win or lose so that should In case they lose it won't make them to run into depression. Just look at how a promising young man just ended his life just because of careless gambling now people will start pointing their fingers on gambling that it's bad when it is the individual that got involved in gambling and didn't take precautions.

We don't know the real story of this man who takes his life after a loss in a bet. But in my perspective, if that's the only case about the bet, I wouldn't commit suicide even if I lost all my money in the gambling bet. Maybe the guy who takes his life has other problems, and the only solution is winning this bet to clear his debt to other people. These people might threaten his family or loved ones, and the only thing that comes to his mind is to kill himself to protect his loved ones.

Easy to say but when you are on his shoes and it is an amount that you do sure that you cant pay off then you might really be ending up on the same decision on which we cant really be able to tell
if there would really be some other problems aside from gambling on which that victim had been able to experience and this is why we cant really be able to say on the actual reason.
Somewhat it is true that in any problem there's a solution and since its just money then there's always a solution and its not really that worth on trying to have a suicide just to solve out everything.
Do really knows that his family would be the ones will really be boggling on the said amount? So it is really just that useless or pointless on what he had done.

$3000 might not sound much but we do know that it isnt something that each country does have that the same situation when it comes to fiat value on which we dont
really have the same living or status.

A very tragic story, if he was able to think clearly, he could do something more valuable to pay off all the debt from his defeat. He is still young, he also still has the ability to make more money than he has spent. His decision to end his life has left deep wounds on his family, they also never expected to face this reality. Had he asked those close to him for a loan, they would have tried to solve his problem and it would not have ended in suicide.

Gambling sometimes destroys a person's life if they cannot control themselves and the person may have lost hope of surviving or may have taken out a loan that he cannot repay and the only thing that can make him calm is to commit suicide but this is not the only solutions.
ourlives are more valuable than that money so for people out there who gamble please use the money you can afford and don't expect gambling to double your money because gambling is just a game created for fun don't let something like this happen to you and this story can be used as a lesson for gamblers out there not to indulge in excessive gambling activities, and one thing is that gambling addiction can make a person's mental state do things that are out of control, so prevent this behavior and don't let gambling dominate our minds.

Sometimes a gambler needs someone to talk to so they can give advice so they can live a better life and avoid things like this. It's sad to see people who end their lives just because they are in trouble, even though there are many people out there who live a life full of hardship but are trying. To survive, this story is enough to give us a warning here.


So far nothing because I use money that I can afford to lose and don't think too much about the money I lose so my mentality is quite good even though I am still actively gambling.

Someone who suffers huge losses from gambling may not be able to think clearly to find a solution to the problem. So we may have or have often heard the news about someone who committed suicide because he could not bear to see his many losses. They decided to commit suicide because they thought it was the best solution they could do.

They are very embarrassed and afraid to talk about it with their friends or even family members. They chose to keep their loss and chose to commit suicide. Maybe they are unable to accept the consequences of what happened to them. That's what makes them end their lives so they can be free. But in truth, it is his family who will suffer from his loss.

I hope never to experience losing a huge amount of money from gambling. I also don't expect to end my life just because of that loss. That's why if we want to gamble, we only use the money we can afford.

I just feel sorry for the family he left behind, they must have been devastated by his departure, ending his life in such a dishonorable way. Whatever the reason, suicide is not a way to solve problems, it will only add to new problems. A person must have the thought that his life means a lot to himself and the people around him and suicide is not a solution to anything, it is just stupidity. If there is a problem one should talk about it with other people, it will help them to lighten their burden a little and maybe they can find the best solution, instead of committing suicide which is a very idiotic act.

Have you ever been in a very deep mess that you put your trust in gambling? That you see gambling as your only and last option to solving your problem, and then you take the highest risk you've never imagined you'd ever take, and then after that, everything is washed down the drain and you loose everything and getting into more trouble. That's exactly where the actual depression starts. I agree that there's more to that story because I don't believe someone would just wake up one morning go to a casino or an online casino and then just decide to gamble with such an amount that you know you're not prepared to loose, there's a backstory there but the media won't tell us, the blame will all go to gambling. Regardless, this is the main reason people are asked o gamble responsibly but people ignore that fact and follow their instincts and emotions.

There's no specific amount that $3k is huge converted to our local currency, many commit suicide because of failure, failure to live up to the expectation of people who look upon them, people who commit do not have a support system that will make them live confidently and failure like this can trigger suicide, another oen is depression, in this case, he is depressed that he loses that money that he cannot cope with that.


There's no specific amount it could be a small or huge amount but the depression that will trigger suicide tendency is the same, if you have a friend who is prone to depression advice him to stop gambling or monitor or guide him

Yeah, the deceased might be indebted to someone who's aggressively asking him to repay. A businessman should be able to withstand gambling threats, though the correlation between gambling and suicide is not completely clear, as many factors lead to suicide. Depression, anxiety, hopelessness etc, these things can be generated via gambling, and multiple factors like heartbreaks, loss of a loved one, or a collapse of business. However, the blame immediately goes to gambling in most people's lives. The deceased may have been a compulsive gambler, whose ill gambling behavior attracted the attention of the society. His business may have suffered a series of losses and he'd be bittered to lose out more money in gambling. Anxiety harms the body by causing the amygdala to increase and get intensified by threatening situations. And also affects his memory, the deceased would be forced to engage in a decision, that he doesn't understand or have direct control over. In gambling, we must avoid the anxiety caused by too many losses.

Money-making ideas linked to gambling have led to suicide cases in most parts of the world. The government of Australia is suffering from the loss of the lives of gambling youths. And try to help via health care facilities that help to control depression and anxiety. Taking loans for gambling purposes also contributes to the shrinking of the hippocampus and at some point the gambler would feel a refresher on his brain, and think badly of himself. Shame and agony overwhelm them, as they don't seem to remember how the ill behavior had developed in their life. Nothing seems to hold back a suicidal mind, they hardly open up to people about their problems. You'd see them laughing and happily communicating with people, it takes a miracle to discover that a person is suicidal. Surprises emerge in a society when they take the painful idea of ending entirely their life, which troubles them. Family don't understand, as most of them don't look moody, only during their private times that they feel pains within. It's quite a difficult situation, if caused by gambling addiction, players should be careful of becoming addicted. I need to know why gambling addicts mostly end up being suicidal compared to drug addicts.

I think it's not about the amount of money that you have lost in gambling, it's about the burden of losing that money. Who knows, maybe that money is allotted for this future or for his kids and his family. And unfortunately, he failed them by losing that money. And so he felt guilty that the only way to get out is to take his own life.

Yes, it's tragic to hear this kind of news and it's saddened that he might also left a big problem to his family.

So another heart breaking lessons to everyone that we should be gambling responsibly and taking one's life is not the answer to all your problems in life.

While death or suicide is really devastating specially from family and friends  yet this is not a good act for every gamblers , this shows how weak a person is .

and also I remember same issue in my country years back when  A gambler
have burned a casino and killed couple of people after trying to rob the chips cashier .

Sad that gamblers ending their life and others just because of their losses.

Tragedy, but I dont think this is related to gambling. Gambling was only one of the triggers that forced him to made such decision. Imo, decision to make a suicide has a collective context. People dont take such decisions randomly and instantly. They think about it during some period of time. Make a list of pros and cons, think if this would help or harm others; if it can be said like that.

I find it stupid to die because of money. Money is a resource. They can always be earned. No matter how long it might take, a year, 30 years or whole life. The guy could have started working and raising those 2.5million naira again. Who know what would happen to him next day. Maybe he would have found a wallet with twice as more money.

Gambling is not for everyone you could lose money, you could lose sleep and worse you could lose your life, if you're of weak character or you have a friend who has a weak character and is prone to depression you should advise him to take it easy gambling, those who commit suicide in gambling had a wrong mindset in gambling, they take gambling seriously and because of this they cannot accept losses and outcome that is not in favor of the gambler.

It's not the amount but the weakness of the character that leads a gambler to commit suicide, they think they are weak and live in disappointment they lose their motivation to live because they think they are useless.

Some people are really fragile, and no one probably expected that this person would commit suicide. He may be weak in our sight, but I can imagine maybe this guy always experiences a consecutive loss every time he gambles. Since it is related to gambling, he may have nothing to talk to about his struggles with gambling. That kind of situation is really hard and can make any individual think negatively.

What happened to the gamblers who ended up like this is unfortunate. However, as a gambler, we should realize and think deeply about how long they keep their problems to themselves which brings them to the level of being capable of doing such things.

Well honestly, I don't think anyone can put himself in somebody else's shoes when we are talking about suicide. We have no idea what is going on inside someone's mind that leads to such an act. Who knows if that amount of money is all he has, or if that is just another driving point for him to end his life. This is not the first case that someone's life has gone to waste due to gambling, that's why all things have to be taken in moderation. It's just sad that someone has to come to that solution to ease pain or suffering one is going through.

It was such a sad news because he has brought pain to his family and loved ones. His problem was that he was addicted to gambling and gambled more than he could afford to lose. His gambling addiction even led him to access loans to fuel his gambling habits. We can assume that he caused the problem for himself and wouldn't have killed himself. He needed help but couldn't but he couldn't get one. Maybe he was hiding his addiction or nobody cared about him.

His society also failed him because he complained that he became addicted to gambling because of unemployment. The government has failed to live up to the responsibility of providing for its citizens. However, had no excuse to kill himself because there would have been other means to settle his debt.

I'm glad you wrote about it in this forum, especially on the gambling discussion board, the more threads discussing this will help the forum community to avoid what is called gambling addiction, everything definitely starts from gambling addiction which makes someone feel like they are losing their mind by playing beyond their limits and using money. that should not be used, for example money borrowed from loan sharks.

But I don't know the clear reason from this story. Maybe there is a reason why he had to end his life only with money which is actually not too big for anyone and maybe he can get it again, but it seems like there is something we don't know much about the case in this thread, a lot There was a case in my country where a man committed suicide because he had a debt to an evil loan shark where he felt threatened by the debt collector which made him mentally depressed and finally killed himself, I think it is possible that the case is the same because of mental pressure.

I hope this case will be a lesson for all of us as gamblers not to gamble using money that we don't need to spend, for example money that is very important for our lives, it's better to gamble using money that we don't use and cold money.  ;)

I feel sorry for the death of such a young person. As a few others have already mentioned, it's best not to make any assumptions or jump to any conclusions about someone we don't know. We weren't in his shoes, and he was possibly suffering and battling demons inside him to go ahead with such an act. Gambling addiction was probably just the tip of the iceberg; he was probably suffering from other mental illnesses such as depression, and gambling was his escape that turned into addiction, just like alcoholism. The loss of his money was likely the last straw, and he couldn't handle it anymore and committed suicide.

Negative events are unpredictable, and every individual may act differently; thus, it's impossible to foresee how someone will react. Just because we won't go to extreme measures doesn't mean that someone else won't.

He probably entered into gambling for the wrong reasons and not prepared for what is involved in gambling. From the income level of his country, $3k is enough to set up a business like POS, that could have been fetching him profits , from the profit he could finance his gambling. Unfortunately, he put everything he had into gambling without any caution and taking into account the risk associated with gambling. The first thing every gambler must do is to establish the main stream of income first and let gambling just be another one probably taken as a means of earning passive income.  Assuming this young man have an established business that guarantees a steady flow of finance, he wouldn't have killed himself. Taking his life was not the right thing to do.

There have been a lot of post in this board about bankroll management. Those post should be taking seriously because that is a key part of gambling. Just like you said, there is no sure bet anywhere, we must learn to accept this fact so that the journey will not be frustrating.
 

It's sad to know that there is someone who committed suicide because of losing money in gambling. We can't deny the fact that all of us has a different ways on how to deal our problem, but this one is the worst case scenario which I can't imagine that I will do it if I'm in his situation. Stress, depression and lot of problems can lead us to do this kind of thing and it is very alarming, sometimes those people we see laughing and smiling but deep inside, they are carrying unsaid thoughts so it's better to check some of our family members and friends. This is an eye opener to those gambler who doesn't have a control in their spending habit, ya'll should know in your mind that always gamble what we are afford to lose so that we don't have such a big problem in the future.

If we value our lives more than anything in this world, we can't think like that. Only a person who has a mental problem will have the courage to take their life.

Sadly, we just found out that gambling contributes to some mental health issues where some gamblers can't take depression and stress make their mind out of control. Perhaps, this is not the first time I have heard this news, it happens many times. That is why I just hope that all of us can control our emotions and practice being responsible gambler who knows what is good for us.

Poor Soul, it is very sad to hear that because of gambling, he decided to take his own life.


Maybe that's why he committed suicide because maybe all the pressure, fear and the struggle of handling how he was going to pay all his debts came together. Honeslty in my preference when you are addicted to gambling, you will do everything you can to bet on the game. As I observed most of those who play and gamble are in debt, so maybe he thought of committing suicide because he was no longer in the right frame of mind and taking his life was the only way to solve his problems.


If I were in his shoes maybe I would also experience how difficult he went through, I mean mentally and physically exhausted is not that easy. There is also a possibility that you will encounter a fight because we will interact with different people when it comes to gambling, of course.


“We should remember that no amount of money lost is worth sacrificing one’s life.” I forgot where I read this quote but it helps me to remember that life is more valuable so treasure it.

I read his letter on Facebook and comments from the Facebook group, many have felt he only cut his life short by himself and not fulfilling what he was suppose to. That is the fact, he killed himself for less than $4,000. I don't even think there is any amount of money worthy for someone to take their life. So it is appalling to hear such bizarre action from a young man.

Therefore, it is always a lesson for other gamblers that if you want to take huge risk then you have to understand the risk involve in it, so that you don't end up like the dead young man that has caused his family more sorrow. Play as you can bear the loss, don't over bet, be reasonable with your bankroll.

Well I think to commit suicide is a very strong decision that only few people can do. I think it is more of phycological than physical action.

Having this large amount takes too much seriously, The reason why the first thing is you don't need to gamble all the money you can't afford to lose. Gambling is not just a work that there's an assurance after a couple of games you can gain money no it does not work the same thing like that, Condolences to the family it was a really hard time for him for sure still there's still a possible solution if he didn't commit that life time mistake.

Hopefully this incident will not happen to all of us who have taken up gambling, therefore always think that what is at stake is not our only way to achieve success. I also hope that this incident can be used as a lesson and warning to continue trying to control myself as much as possible. Suicide is the most terrible way maybe the person feels frustrated because the money he bet is his last money. Remember money can be found again and life cannot. Don't think it's all over. And for anyone please make this a serious reminder gamble with a healthy mind not with expectations as a way to get rich quickly.

That is why we should not come up with goals that are not recommended in gambling such as getting involved to earn, lately I see very many people who see gambling as a place to earn, I don't know what is the reason but what is certain is that they come because they are encouraged and motivated from people who managed to get a big win without them knowing how much the person has spent before managing to get such a win.

Wrong thinking and misunderstanding makes you always overreact because you are tempted by something that looks like tempting, and after that without realizing that you have entered the addiction phase where you always put greed when you win and curiosity when you lose. I think this is a really dangerous addiction cycle, there is no set time limit as long as you still carry that mindset, but what is certain is that you will continue to suffer tremendous pressure from the losses you always experience, emotions and depression are certain and I think some of these things make people desperate to commit suicide like the case described by the OP.

This is so sad and may his soul rest in peace. This guy acted so selfishly without considering how his family members will feel. It's possible he borrowed the money to place the bet possibly he has been assured that the be is a sure game. I wonder how many lives are lost out there on daily basis that are not reported due to gambling. Gambling is for the strong and not for children. It's obvious that the guy is not matured enough. There is no amount lost in betting that will make me take my life.

Whether we do like it or not on which there would really be those type of people whose really that too sensitive when it comes to things on which they would really be that too mindful on the money that they had lost in gambling. This is why it would really be good that you should really having that good self control specially with your emotions because if you dont then you would really be ending up on thinking things on which it might lead up into that suicide ideas. People do really usually be making this kind of thing to be their last option as if that problems would really be going away without even
thinking about on how precious life is. Although it is really that hard considering that we arent in his shoes because having those huge losses in those amounts arent something that
someone could pay in a short time.

Another sad news about a person who committed suicide because he lost at gambling. This seems to have become a serious problem in society, especially for those who often gamble, even with large amounts of money. And this is a lesson for us not to take too big a risk if we can't afford it. I don't know what was going on in his mind until he ended his life by committing suicide.

I don't want to commit suicide just because of gambling. That's why I try to gamble with the money I can afford. Losing $20-$30 in gambling is already a big loss of money and it makes me sad, especially if I lose a lot of money like that person.

It's funny you are promoting casino in your signature :D
It's very sad that he killed himself because he lost money. Probably 3K is nothing for many but that's a huge amount of money for people from poor countries. I suggest everyone to gamble for fun, not for profit because the whole point of gambling is to get fun. Someone gets fun from playing video games, someone gets fun from rolling dice, someone gets fun from watching netflix, we all have different ways to get fun. It's sad but there are people who commit suicide for many reasons, some do it even because they aren't as cool as hollywood actors and so on. Some even do it because they don't get enough attention from their BFs/GFs.

Gambling is never suit for the weak of minds who can not accept loosing and take control of their gambling emotions.
Desperacy and eagerness to win in gambling is called for bankruptcies which lingers to wretchedness and frustrations.
Why would anyone happily start what you can't happily end or happier than started?
It is so unfortunate where people can not realize when they reaches their limits before things gets are gone out of control.
He lost about $3K and $1K + is a borrowed money and he decided to take his life because he considered it is unbearable to stand a debtor that he can not afford to pay.
I am just thinking of he hoped to pay back the money with his gambling winning expectations or whichever ways.

I disagree that it was due to joblessness that got him taking such risk in gambling with such amount of funds because about $2K in exchange to his local fiat currency is not a penny. It is such an attractive huge amount of money that can be utilized which can be invested on some lucrative businesses but he failed to take figures of acknowledgement on that.
How does he think the money borrowed would yield him profits in his gambling space more than the one he has with him is also what I don't get right.

I take the whole of the scenero assuming that he is an addicted gambler which is tantamount to such demise actions.
Moreso, taking his life off was never an option because he seems to be a media influencer and a promising young man who in time can still pay off the debt as long there is life and his abilities to keep grinding to reach out to his dreams

Whoever that have the intentions of taking his/her life in one way or the other should always consider their loved ones. Everyone on earth has responsibilities to take care of and there are willing ones who are also atleast a minimal level to also cares for you.

At this point I don't think his exit would cause a bridge for payment of the money borrowed. Definitely the lender would console with the family in the main time and sooner going to demand for his money.

Suicide is never an option

How is it funny that I put on a gambling campaign signature?

Supposing I have known this forum before my addiction, I might not be able to get addicted to gambleing after several warnings in people's discussions. If you like it or nity, people will gamble without this forum advertising any gambling site. Likely the decreased person may not know this forum but gambling agents are all over everywhere. Heay even lost to a local gambling site. The country is Nigeria.

Probably he can't take the loss and probably his thought/mind wasn't that strong, that money is replaceable but not his own life. Maybe he experience depression in that state and gambling was his way to divert it but it would take a huge toll instead because of that loss. Condolences to the bereaved family.

When I was at my lowest point, It was so difficult and hopeless that I must confess, suicidal thoughts crossed my mind. But I’m not one to end my life to try and end my problems.
It’s sad to read about news like this cause the person involved should have known better as this probably isn’t his first time in the gambling industry. Perhaps he used borrowed money or money meant for something else and now that he has lost out, he couldn’t bear to take the loss.

There’s no amount that I could lose that would make me take my life. There’s still a lot to do.

If our minds were still healthy, maybe we would think this was a stupid act and whatever. but maybe for him this was the best way he could do to ease his suffering because his common sense had run out in a situation like that, especially since he was gambling with borrowed money. In my country there are also many cases of suicide due to gambling and on average they gamble because they use borrowed money and there are also those who sell so that when they lose they get depressed and lose their memory. So what was in his mind was that he thought suicide was the best way. That's why there is a saying that gambling is a terrible addiction.

This could all happen because their mindset was wrong from the start, most of them saw this as a quick step to getting rich. even though this game should be a place to have fun when you are tired of work. Gambling can be wrong if played by short-minded people.

On the time that your brain or mind have this kind of status;

1. Dont know on how to solve out the problem
   - Dont know on how to repay that amount lost
   - Dont know on how to explain it into your family
   - Dont know on thinking up ways and possible solutions

2. Your stress and fear is already mixing up
3. You have lost your control and emotion handling

Once you are on this kind of situation on which you would really be saying that it cant really be avoided sometimes on thinking up on having a suicide.
Having mental break down or having those deepest problem and stress that you have never encountered before into your own life on which it really do makes you think
that you would be taking up some suicide to solve out everything but its true on what most people been saying on here is that, if you do really just
try out to find up some ways to solve out the problem then there might be a chance. Life is indeed precious and taking up a suicide is never been a solution.

How can a businessman want to commit suicide? become a businessman need a strong mentality and able to accept anything unpredictable that could happen, gambling on the other hand is predictable, the result is either lose or win.

I guess gambling isn't the only reason why he want to commit suicide, but gambling is just make him feel really sad.

These are the point. To there are people who to take their life never by themselves never seem anything to them. They are psychos. They don't place value on the air they breath and that is also can easily they can kill another person. But if you value life, the thought of killing or shielding of blood irritates.

It is an immoral act. No matter how much was involved, a lifeless body has no hope but a man that is alive has hope to even repay all his debt despite challenges of life because he can meet a destiny helper that will be interested in his story but now that he is gone, nobody will hear his story and help him, what will be in the public as it is now is that he took his life.

This isn't is more than just valuing your life more than any other thing, there are people who value their life even more than you do but depression has a way of making them feel like life is worthless and not worth living no more. Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like the only thing you live for has been taken away from you, your only purpose of living washed away like an erosion washes away the top soil, pray you don't ever find yourself in such a situation because when you do, you'll realize that suicide isn't just about not having value in your life or due to mental ailments. Who knows what the young man must have been through that made him turn to  gambling as his final option and maybe after being disappointed which is normal, couldn't take it anymore and decided to end it all.

We can't say anything accurate regarding on what they are facing since depression is really a serious problem so if we see someone facing this kind of condition then I guess the only thing we can do is to make them feel that we are here for them and we are willing to listen on their problems.

That's why we should never ignore this addiction especially on gambling since this is life threatening especially if the affected person lose everything they have and this attempts will come in their minds since as said they might feel worthless individual with that status. Also we must know the consequences about gambling addiction and may his story serve as a lesson for other that they should never let theirselves caught to much on gambling since same possible situation might really happen.

It is correct to say that he is young, but calling him a businessman is what I do not subscribe to. Reasons being;

• A business man should be able to learn how to battle losses. He didn't behave like a business man
• A business man will rather invest N2.5 million in busines and not in gambling

There are many untold stories about this incident, maybe with time we will get to know better. There's an African adage that says, "a child who goes to the village square of the masquerade, should be ready to dance the masquerade dance.

That's the problem when we can't control our emotions and our gambling addiction. Maybe he was suffering from severe depression, so the gambler was able to commit suicide because he couldn't control himself anymore.

That means he has been swallowed up and controlled by his own depression and emotions, so that is how the gambler ended up, where the result of his gambling loss was not good. But if he had not been preceded by depression and had been able to control it, it is also for sure that he would not have ended up suicidal like that.

Suicide is a very complicated issue, and it's important to remember that there are often other reasons why someone decides to take their own life.
This is hard to say that how much the value can convince a gambler to commit suicide.
I think only the loss is not the reason I think there can be the family issues too. And when he lost the money in gambling so I think he thought how he will face the family the friends and others so with these thoughts he committed to suicide.

Life is now worth taking because it is a thing of value and I don’t see any reason why that guy would end his life no matter the amount that was lost the guy would have gotten to the hospital and seen so that he would give value for life instead of wasting because that is what I will call this, and am surprised that things n/like this still occur of people taking their own life even when they will make money. Some people have lost millions and they are still living their life and they continue gambling. And it was a personal decision so what happened to the risk he wanted to take people should not forget gambling is for fun and nothing more. people are going beyond, and it is costing a lot of pain; some might lose their property.

It will be a cowardice behavior to take your life because you’ve lost some money to betting. It has been always said several times to use the money you can afford to lose while betting. If you are not convinced enough to make your mind feel so, then don’t even try to bet or even start that because the after effect is always worse than the initial effect.

If he has lost such amount to gambling and took his own life because of that then he has no regards for the precious life. Would they ever be anything in this world that is worth taking your life for? I don’t think there’s any and anyone that does that has no regards for their family and loved ones.

This should serve as lesson to other gamblers not to just gamble just because they see other people making it through gambling. It is a game of luck and uncertainty, if it goes well for you today and tomorrow, it doesn’t mean it will always go well in that matter continuously. It is good to take caution very early.

Suicide is not good and very alarming, not only in gambling but in many other areas like work, and relationship, gambling is high risk for people who tends to become depressed and do not want to talk about their experience, it's not the amount small or big amount can cause the gambler to feel depressed that will trigger suicide, which is people should be observant on people with a history of depression and at the same time gambling because the feeling of losing can trigger suicide, its better if you have a very quiet friend who is into gambling and do not open up to talk to him often so you'll know something will trigger suicide.

there have been many cases where gamblers ended their lives just because they lost at gambling. i don't know what they were thinking until they came to the conclusion to end their own lives. it is understandable that each person has different mental health, but even so, suicide cannot be justified.

they should be able to ask for help from professionals or people closest to them regarding the problems they face, don't keep it to themselves and face it. if they are unable to deal with the problem, talk to someone else and if not to a professional because they can definitely provide help to the person who is in despair.

and also, life is too short to end on purpose. there are still many things that have not been done, so while one is still given the opportunity to live, make good use of it. even when there is a big problem face it like a man and pray to your god that you need his help, just believe that there will be a way for your problem

First of all, it is unfortunately a very sad thing that a person ends his life just because he lost money gambling. Regardless, it is unfortunately very sad to learn that an individual committed suicide for this reason. It is even more pathetic that this person committed suicide especially because he lost $3,000 in gambling. Although this amount is very difficult to save in some countries I think it isn’t an amount that would cause a person to end his life.

Now, to answer the question: No, because I don’t and will never use money that could cause me to commit suicide to gamble. For this reason, I think I can’t give a clear answer to this question numerically. Moreover, I guess that if I make such a mistake, instead of ending my life I will regret the mistake I made and then work to save this amount again.

This post reiterates that one should not bet more than one's spending ‍ability. Gambling is not a place to earn money. It does not guarantee to double or more one's wealth but the possibility of losing is very high. If a gambler fails to develop awareness in this regard, his situation will surely go from bad to worse. Moreover, a gambler often forgets this fact due to which he takes suicidal decisions which are by no means acceptable. A gambler is addicted to gambling while he is gambling and he is ruining his life because of his addiction. The value of life can never be evaluated with money. So the gambler must never take a decision by which he departs from the world.

Its so embarrassing seing a gambler commiting suicide. Every gambler is suppose to know the consequences of gambling before going into it. There is no quality reason for what he did. As a gambler it is expected that you know that there are lucky times which i consider as good times and there are bad times. So whenever you fll into any of this situation you have to have self control. If a gambler wins he can be happy innerly ad should control euphoria if not he may use that excitement to continue gambling and may lose the game. On the hand if there are small or huge loses, it is still part of the gambling system so he should also bear it and avoid hurting himself or people around him.

It’s quite strange. A business person shouldn’t be a stranger to risks and losses and a loss even through gambling shouldn’t be any different. There may be more to the story cause the victim should have known that with gambling, you either win or you lose. And as a business man, he should have known better than to play around with money meant for something else.
It’s a sad tale that has been once again, attributed to gambling. And I guess it continues to portray the dangers that lurk within compulsive gambling.

Suicide cases lost in the gambling arena, several cases that I have read and seen, maybe this is the 1000th case that has ever happened in this world, maybe more, for that.

It is highly recommended to gamble professionally and responsibly, meaning: gambling is fine, basically never gamble with other people's money or loans anywhere and don't gamble using your salary or other money for family needs or personal interests, don't ever think about spending money and so on.

Gamble with money that doesn't burden you either mentally or physically, I gamble has a principle, the way to do it is if you have made a deposit of money/crypto to one of the casinos, I assume the money is gone, so I don't get stressed or frustrated when I lose and win when betting, this way we can avoid negative things, especially suicide.

This is a saddening news, may he rest in peace. To answer your question, it's not actually about the amount before taking your life but rather how you can handle everything, based on the info you gave, I think he tried to earn more money and his last resort is to gamble and failed and that leads to more problem and he couldn't handle anymore.

For me, there's no amount that'll make me do this thing as I think as long as you live, you'll be able to recover from any losses but not through gambling of course, it will never be an answer to financial problem.

Maybe you think that's a small number, $3K. But, for people in countries with low economies and incomes, collecting that much takes more than a year.  Maybe he couldn't tell his family about his gambling losses. Or maybe he has used up all the money and savings he has. We might think that with his status as a businessman, it should be a small money. but we don't know, it could be a small business that doesn't have much turnover. or there is a possibility that he used business money for the gambling.

This is just heartbreaking to see given that he was very young for him to be taking his own life.

I guess this must serve as a reminder to everyone about the dangers of gambling. I mean, everybody knows the potential risks that it carries but once you are consumed by greediness and fear, it will definitely affect and cloud your judgement. Most likely, this young man took his own life impulsively due to the fear of not being able to recover.

To everyone who is struggling to quit or to anyone who is currently addicted to gambling, there is still hope for you to change- and that hope will always linger as your backdoor exit to control your temptations.

Suicide is never the solution. At that point it feels like the right thing to do that will take the pain, shame and guilt away. I have felt it. What I have learned from the this is that no matter how bad you have messed up, there's always someone out there that would not judge you. Someone that will help you and encourage you. That person I have found is usually a family member. Find that person.

The economy is in touch, and many start-ups and business ventures are not making much again because the customers are not coming again because they have changed their needs to alternatives, but I don't think gambling is the way out of this current situation of the economy. If it was then, such an amount of money he gambled away could have started a business but it can't today unless you want to start an entrepreneurship which is even less patronized because of the same hardship, but this is sad seeing a man took his life because he lost that amount. I would rather allow the world to laugh at my failure(I give less attention to people though, to even think about that) than take my precious life, I am yet to see anything that will make me take my life.


I think that man was dealing with depression and didn't speak and thought gambling was the only way to make it. I have such an amount of money, I would rather see it wasted in my account generating nothing than waste it on gambling that will take everything from me. I pray God to give the family the mind to mourn the loss but this is bad and to think this wasn't a kid but a full grown adult.

However, I would love to see an audit and autopsy carried out on his body before they buried him so as to be sure about the conclusion of his death. We have seen cases where a person was murdered but they made the scene look like what they wanted people to believe, it was later found out that it wasn't what killed the guy initially but his friend actually killed him, I think more proper investigation will help in this case.

Tragic news about the young man. His decision to kill himself over a $3,000 loss shows a deep problem with how we think about value and self-worth. Gambling is a high-risk pastime; its about losing perspective as well as money. Your story is a stark warning that our lives are sacred and should not be judged by how much money we have.

Lets think about an imaginary situation: Imagine someone whose identity is their money. The loss here isnt just monetary; its psychological. This is important, though: its a skewed view. Life isnt a resource that can be renewed, but money is. This is what we really lose when we forget it.

Whatever amount makes us think about the impossible is a red flag as gamblers. Its not for self-destruction that we bet. Today's tragedy should not only make us think about the risks of gambling, but also make us think about our morals and priorities again.

Very sad story.
No, I don't think so. Life is sacred, it should not be wasted even if we are in the downest of our life. Also, I believe it is the greatest sin of all and that's why I won't/can't do it.

$3k is not much that is true. But for some people especially those who are on a tight budget, this is an amount that might've been important to him. Maybe it was supposed to be spent on something important and he gambled it and lost it.
IMO, this is irresponsible gambling. He chose to try and double it or maybe even triple it in the fastest but riskiest way, he should've known the consequences before doing it.
When we step on the gambling habit we should already know that we are going to lose at a higher percentage than win. The house cannot just give away the money or else it will kill their business. When we accept that fact, it's easier to be a responsible gambler because we are not going to waste too much money that we know is just going to be swallowed by casino games.

You make a fair point that the impact of losing money depends a lot on a person's psychological situation, but also economical.  For someone living paycheck to paycheck, losing even a few hundred dollars could be crushing.  But for a wealthy person, losing $3,000 may be an inconvenience but hardly earth-shattering.  

I agree that no amount of money alone should drive someone to suicide and  there are always other options even when times are incredibly tough.  But psychological factors also come into play, as you mentioned.  Things like depression or overwhelming stress can severely impair decision-making.  

Overall, how we respond to financial hardship says more about our inner resilience and mental health than the actual dollar figure we've lost.  Though the amount was too much for the man in this tragedy to cope with, we can't fully understand his inner demons.  In any case his death represents a much deeper despair behind the money issue on the surface.  We could all benefit from more compassion about what might begoing on beneath peoples struggles.

I hadn't seen this news, I appreciate you sharing it.  I do take a bit of umbrage with your statement "but taking your life is something unimaginable and unjustifiable to do. No matter the regrets suicide isn't an option to be taking as a solution".  I'm not sure that's up to you to judge people like that.  I surely don't think anyone should take their life, but if they so choose, then that is their choice.  It's unlikely in my opinion that this man took his life solely because of the gambling loss.  More than likely he had a lot of other things going on in his life.

That's why gambling should only be played by people who can afford it. What I mean by being able is not financially capable, that's just one thing, but what I mean by capable and what I emphasize is about being mentally capable. because when gambling, we must be prepared to lose, remembering that gambling is an activity that carries a high enough risk that we could experience a loss. and if he is a businessman, he should understand more about risks, unless that person is quite careless.

And of course this is a warning and appeal for us to be more careful when gambling, and never assume that gambling can provide big profits and make us rich people. Because believe me, if you think like that, then when at the end of the game you lose, this activity will only be a bad thing that will lead to deep regret.

If the reason we gamble is to relieve stress, then don't ever change that, in the end it is gambling that makes us stressed, because we often lose.

The young man you mentioned may have reached the peak of his gambling addiction and because he was fed up with losing money gambling, he chose suicide rather than living this way. Stupid people make such decisions, luck is not helping gambling has lost money so he will commit suicide for once he should have thought that his parents did not raise him well enough to commit suicide. This guy may have come on live so we know about his suicide but secretly there are many people who choose suicide as the right way to lose money. The boy who committed suicide had someone by his side and motivated him during his depression, maybe he could have come out of the decision to commit suicide. Gambling may have cost him a lot of money and he may not have been able to come out of his loneliness which made suicide seem right to him at that time.

Gambling is for everyone, it do really just turns out that he had made out such bad action on which it did really lead into that kind of situation on which he might be ending up on losing a money which he cant really be able to repay and this is why he had decided to kill himself just to get rid of that potential problem on which i could say that its never been worth on taking his own life. It is really just that a sad story on seeing someone who do really have that kind of struggle because of unwise decisions specially on spending up money with gambling. You would really be putting up yourself on great problem if you wont really be that mindful on the things
that you've been doing specially when it comes to finances. You should be wise and you should be responsible if you dont like to mess up.

Usually people would really be making realizations when its already too late and not on the time that they would really be doing it. This is why we should really be that careful on the money that we are spending.
You wont really be able to avoid problems if you do really make out such toleration specially on spending too much money with gambling. You should be careful and responsible
with the spending you are making.

It was indeed a sad story. But from his post on his social media platform, he complained that he borrowed some money to fund his gambling activity. Maybe he had full confidence that he would win the game that was why he went to the extent of taking a loan. When the game turned against him, he became depressed. And he sought diverse means to pay back the loan including begging from friends. But when he couldn't raise money to pay up the debt, he decided to die than take shame from debtors. I think he is from Nigeria and gambling is seen as immoral in some areas of the country. He would have been a laughing stock in his community if it was later discovered that he took a loan to gamble, so he foolishly decided to die. But it is better to endure the shame than to commit suicide.    

There must be a reason not only in losing, even if he lost everything he had, his house, and all his savings, then this is not the end, there is a way out of any situation, although it must be said that there are very difficult situations when it seems that there is no way out .

And you are right, a person could have made this decision for several reasons, perhaps the loss was the last straw for him. Unfortunately, sometimes this happens if there is no support, someone who could help get out of a difficult situation.

Why should you gamble if you can't handle your emotions and actions I think this goes beyond just addictions and it will surely have to do with psychological well-being,  this is not just about gambling and losing, it goes beyond that to expanding into some other aspect, which we may find an interesting end to such as borrowing the staked amount as capital to gamble, so people are as highly addicted to the point that they borrow money or even have to sell their personal belonging to gamble with, this may be the reality with this guy and how he has used that to end his own life.

Such a gambler betting with such a huge amount of money is totally unacceptable and the unfortunate event and consequences of losing the bet which resulted to his committing a suicide is absolutely wrong and uncalled for because if there is life there hope, of course he would have gambled with at most 10% of the total money that would have been very reasonable atleast he would still have more chances of winning in 9 more times and to this end this is a wake up call to al gamblers to always bet with the amount of money they can afford to lose and to avoid getting addicted to gambling, personally I only limit my bet to a fix amount once I lose that amount of money I keep off or stay away from gambling till I refund my account again usually at the end of the month.

Well, I saw this new on Twitter yesterday while I was just preparing to go to bed, I thought about posting it here but I was feeling very sleepy 😴 and tired, so I wasn't really able to type at the moment.

Needless say that this is a very bad news honestly, and from all that have been going on, it seems that suicides due to loses in betting and gambling in general is something that is becoming very common with Nigerians, suicide due to losses in gambling is something we all must rise up and discourage totally amongst our youths, this is just too stupid and I wonder why people still think along the line of suicide in 21st century.

Why should someone stake up money he or she can not afford losing in betting, when you that if you lose it, you may likely kill yourself, it's really not adding up to be honest.

What ? Just $3k ?

I know for some people even $3k would be a pretty decent amount but common, it's not as big as taking own life.
Although I have read people taking other's lives for as low as $100 but it's the first time I have read someone taking his own life for a mere amount of $3k.
Besides that, even if the amount was $30k or $300k then he shouldn't have taken his life.
He should have done hard work to pay off the debt.

This is more reason why I always being careful in issuing gambling advice here, and to everyone, we need to be careful, our mental states are not just the same. Some people might be looking so strong and healthy but have a very bad state of mind, we all have to always guide alright, particularly if we sense weakness already. This guy looks like Nigeria, it's just so sad that a handsome guy will end his life merely because of $3000. Wait a minute, in Nigeria now through the parallel market rate which most people use, the N2.5m is even way lower than that, it should be roughly about $2,150. This amount might be huge when it comes to the living standard of living in the country. Irrespective of that, I don't see why anyone should commit suicide because of money whatsoever, life goes on.

As for your question, I wouldn't even do that for $250B+, for what? "If there is life, there is hope." Who knows if the guy would have become the president in the future? By killing himself, he just destroyed everything. He's just a coward.

And to those who are still alive and are battling with one issue or the other through gambling, it's not a do-or-die affair. You might never make that life fortune through it, so why bet aggressively and senselessly? Just go and find work, hustling well, and who knows, you might be that wealthy person in the future.

Peace&Love!

Good example. It is difficult to say what motivated this man who committed suicide. 3 thousand dollars is not the reason obviously. Perhaps it was the last 3 thousand or he owes a lot of money to someone or something else that we don’t know. In any case, one of our tasks as humans is to know ourselves. If you know that you have problems with gambling and don’t have a stop, then you need to protect this side of the issue as much as possible. After all, the price can sometimes be too high, this example is proof of that

From this incident, a lesson can be learned that gambling must use money that you are willing to lose and that does not interfere with your life.
But most people lose control over it, to the point that they commit criminal acts such as stealing and also commit suicide if they are at the highest level of mental disturbance.

It's better to be a conservative and fun gambler than to risk your life, because for me gambling is entertainment. It's not the main job that I have to work hard to get big profits.
Hopefully many people will immediately become aware after reading about this incident, so they can immediately minimize the risk to their lives.

Regardless of the amount he lost his life is much more than it as there is hope after it though I believe he has been entertaining the coward thoughts before loosing the money tipped him off. No matter how hard the situation(s) might be let's always have the mindset of hope after all countries are owing.

I don't know this man but I think before anyone can confidently use that kind of money to gamble, he has more than enough on him to bet, I don't see any reasons or financial problem that will make you think that gambling will make you more, I expected him to have some personal questions that should be ringing in his head like "how many people has he seen that risk such and come out of it successfully ". He didn't make a calculated risk before going fully and it back fire but does that warrant taken life? This is really a sad news to hear and I guess a lesson for other people that are planning to do the same.



There is no guarantee in gambling, if indeed there is I believe many companies will not be in existence again but because they are the ones at the receiving end making all the profit for the company, they are alive till today. Life is too short to start thinking gambling is the only way to make money but I think many people are used to thinking how to make quick money otherwise I think even ₦3M is even a big money to some people.

That's what I'm also seeing. It's not just losing $3k but there is another reason for taking his own life. But RIP.
It's why it's great to have firsthand experience gambling offline where there are worse people than you living the hell but did not even hang themselves. Comparing yourself and telling yourself you can do better I think will help to motivate you to do more than just die down.

I lost more than the amount he lost if I sum it up over a year.
If there is just an assurance there is life after death and see myself I'd be happier there, I would kill myself. Sadly I feel there is no such thing.

This is why, you should only bet with the amount of money that you can afford to lose and don't use borrow money or money for your business to gamble, if not you might end up in depression and think that commiting suicide is the only option. Anyone that thinks gamble is a means of making profit might end up using huge amount of money to bet and when they loss, they will feel that is the end of the road for them.

This is a very sad story and I am not in pity of the gambler but his family that he has put into depression because of his foolish action that he took by ending his life without considering the pain he will bring on his family. Any gambler that has lost a huge amount of money should quit gambling immediately and put himself together to face whatever challenges of emotional trauma that will come and hope that the future is still bright than killing yourself. Or was he manipulated from the dark realm.

I despise people who take their own lives because of some problems rather than trying to solve these problems in any possible way. Even if I lose everything I have, I will not be able to commit suicide because other people's lives depend on me.

This guy turned out to be another weakling, who instead of finding the hardest and highest paying job and working hard to win back the money he lost, chose the easiest way. Too bad it's only easy for him. I can't even imagine how his relatives are feeling right now.

However, it is not an easy task to commit suicide (yes it is not) but anyone who have done such a thing is no more a human being rather than an only God knows who.
There is no amount of money that can buy back a life even after it's gone, life is sweet no matter how hard it is, it is very sweet, I can not do such a thing even if I have lost the whole world in gambling, because even if I committed suicide I can not get back my money and that means there is no need for dieing if I lost a bet.
Although, this is a very sad story to hear and this is why I don't blame anyone that go extra miles just to make sure he or she reduce the rate at which he or she is gambling, I think only God knows what he has been passing through. No body is to be blamed about this because I believe that even if anyone wanted to stop the victim from gambling it will be like they don't want he's progress and there will also be a lot of side talks.
This is a small amount of money that someone will die for because most times that I hear the stories of gamblers that have lost a lot in gamble and I look towards others that have not lost close to what others have lost but those are the ones that complain most.

Probably he has been contemplating suicide for other reasons beyond him losing his bet. A triggering factor could be responsible for that and not just gambling losses, maybe he has been frustrated with life along time ago and now wants to try hitting a jackpot with this particular bet by having a one time try. I believe as someone who gamble such amount, he would have been having win and losses before this time so he should understand the loss and win that is involved in gambling so taking his life might not only be because he lost but no matter what was his challenge, he doesn't need to take his life as a young man who still have time to make things right in his future.

This is a sad story and this must have been that the victim risked almost his life savings, however I wonder why someone will do such to the extent of taking his own life because of money,nothing worth to compare with life ,if there is life there is hope and he can even make more that money as life goes on ,this is why it's necessary we always stick to risking what you are capable of losing each time you are taking a risk in the gambling world. The victim took his case to extreme, if it were to be someone in this forum he would have come across a lot of post or thread talking about how to manage risk.

Is there anything more valuable than life or does life has a price tag? You see, depression is real not doubt but in same way hope also is real, when we keep hope alive in any situation we can always find a way out of whatever kind of depression your negative accident bring to mind. People run into gambling acting like it's an alternative to get back to feet when everything else you have ventured into isn't working, what makes you think that gambling that is something based on luck will be a thing to cast your burden on.

That is usually what happens, unfortunately most people do end up playing with money that they do not have, I have seen a guy who sold a house for someone else, it wasn't his house, it was someone who lived in another nation and invested to a house and wanted to sell, and this person was not a real estate person but like some family member who lived in that nation, after selling the house until the real owner came in and took the money, he wanted to gamble and double the money, and he lost it all and then took his own life as well.

Many people end up gambling with others money and then they take their own life, not that it solves any of the issues, money is still gone, so them taking their life doesn't change a single thing. I believe that these people need to learn that gambling with money that you can't lose is not something you should be doing, it's such a simple concept and they must be aware of it and for some reason they still keep doing it, no idea why.

There are more reasons why this person died than this. As I read this in one of the country's new papers, the main reason this person took his own life was as a result of not using only his money to play this bet. But after a series of losses over the month, he finally saw a game he taught that would make him recover all that he had lost in the past, and wagering with just a small amount was not enough for him, so he insisted on taking loans from colleagues and friends, whose money he took from them was even higher than what he put in the game himself.
 
So what makes him take his life is not knowing how to repay back all this loan he took and the share of facing those who he has borrowed money from who know the excuse that he used to take that loan.
 
It's just a pity that someone will borrow to gamble and lose instead of looking for means necessary to repay, like selling property, pleading for extensions, or anything else, he decides to take his own life over money he can make within a year. Now he knows nothing about what the family is facing right now as a result of his selfish decision.

Some people never know that having a disappointment is not the end of life, though it may comes with series of disgrace and hatred but one needs to understand the risk involved before gambling, even if the worst scenario happened that we need to find a means of getting out of the trouble we've gone into already, death is not a warrant solution to end the menace caused already because that does not fix it, we need to gamble responsibly, we need to take low risk with gambling and also avoid unnecessary actions and activities that my affect us from gambling.

What exactly is value OP, don't you know that value s can easily be influenced by certain factors and different people has different values, although a set of people can have a the same values but that doesn't mean everyone has the same amount of value they place on something, to you and others you place a priceless tag value on life but does that means that's the same for every other person too? Have you not seen a particular race or religion that has less value for their lives and are ready to throw it away so easily without a second thought for a cause they hold sacred, does it look like you share the same value with those set of people.

So when you ask if there's anything more valuable than life, I think you should personalize it because there are people who would have a contrary opinion towards that. Yes as long as there's life there's always hope and if one holds strong to that hope then he'll surely find a way out of every depressing start he currently is, but dont you know that it requires strength and courage to hold on to hope? Especially when the depression is at its peak, do you believe that it's everyone that possess this strength and courage? No. It doesn't mean they are mentally disordered or they do not value their lives. But they lack what it takes to hope.

Honestly, I still don't get it why a gamble would take his own life after a bad lose which would have affected him so much. This is one of the reasons why we need to make sure that we don't gamble too much so we don't end up loses which could affect us internationally. We need to make sure that we gamble responsibly and we don't borrow funds with full confidence that we are going to win. Winning is not always sure in gambling but there are many things we can do to make sure that we don't gamble too excessively so we don't get hookup due to our unintelligent gambling lifestyle which could have a bad effect on how we live.

Perhaps this is one of the reason why is always Adviceable for people to only gamble with the amount that may not affect them if they loses the money, but however so many persons are really misunderstanding gambling to be a game of get rich quick platform which has always clouded there judgement to no if they are over gambling or becoming an addict or not, honestly is actually very bad for someone who doesn't have a self-control on there gambling activities.

Perhaps who knows if the guy was suffering from depression, maybe he borrowed the 2.5million with the intentions of paying back through the profits he will realized from the gambling so after losing the money he has know other way of paying back so instead the only solution that comes to his mind was to take his life. Is actually very sad to see a very young guy ending his life this way just because of money.

This has happened very often in my country, I see some comments saying that nothing justifies the behavior of this person who killed themselves, but I think that people don't understand how serious it is and how life can be much harder than they imagine or think, when someone borrows money and takes that money and puts it in the game and then loses everything in the game and that person has nowhere else to get money to pay back the loan, so that person starts to think: "the guy he borrowed from or the bank in which he borrowed will report him when he fails to repay the loan and he will be arrested, tried and sentenced to many years in prison."

when he thinks about going to jail, he starts to think that he will suffer a lot in jail, he starts to think about all the days of suffering he will spend in jail, so at that time he only sees one solution to his big mistake: "he immediately think about killing himself "because when he dies all his debts will end and his family will not pay anything for the mistakes he made, it is difficult for a person to make the decision to commit suicide when that person still has other options to solve his problems. unfortunately in this world, when people have money they always surround you, but when you don't have money and are involved in serious problems, people immediately move away from you and there is a feeling of disappointment that you feel knowing that people were only with you because you had money and power and when you have nothing they abandon you

because of this type of behavior that many people have had of just staying by other people because they have money and when they realize that the person who has money no longer has money and they abandon him, the number of suicide cases that could be avoided If relatives and friends had helped, it would have increased a lot. people faced with a problem and who are abandoned, make radical decisions such as committing suicide, unfortunately

We would be too careless if we thought that gambling was just fun. Because it is clear that when someone is not prepared for the defeat they experience, this gambling turns into something very painful.

And starting from someone the OP told. So, this is where it is important to always pay attention to the number of bets we place to gamble, we need a limit of a certain amount according to our ability to lose that money. And when the money is lost when we are gambling, which means we lose, don't ever hope that the money will come back soon. We must always pay attention to all the money that flows through the gambling we do, so that we do not use money that has a clear purpose, it is used for gambling. Because you think that later the money will be replaced immediately through a big win that you get.

Apart from good money management, we also need to reorganize the gambling activities we do, so that our daily lives are not just filled with gambling while we leave behind what we are responsible for. As much as possible, we only gamble when we have free time, such as on holidays. Because the longer we gamble, it will only bring us closer to loss and gambling addiction itself.

This was the wrong thing to do. There are ups and downs in life and as for gambling too. Taking your life for some looses is far too unimaginable. I have seen many people losing thousands of thousands of dollars in an brink of an eye but never taking their life. Not just only with gambling but the other looses. But that doesn't mean there will always be looses. There can be no silver line without the clouds. So we should remind ourselves, suicide can never be an option.

I think I read the story isn't completed, the guy was a regular sporty player, I saw some pictures of him holding a long bet slip from old games he won on Facebook. I think what happened was the guy borrowed money from a friend about ₦1.5M to add to his money ₦1 and all together sum it to ₦2.5M and he used it to bet but unfortunately, the bet didn't go well as he lose the money to the betting company and out shame and how to pay back the money, he drank insect popularly called Otapiapia in Nigeria and passed away leaving a note behind but if he has been winning money as they claim, is this amount worth taking life? That's something I'm yet to figure out.


No matter what happened in this life, taking life isn't worth it. This is why I like how I see warning here about taking loan money to bet, gambling is based on luck and you never know when it will go fine or go left, we just assume and believe it will go well but anything that comes after is not something we can control, that's why we should never gamblw with money that is not our own and also gamble responsibly.

It is very sad, keeping in mind all the context. Even though I have read about stories like this one in the past, about people taking the wrong decision after losing money to a casino, what baffles me about this specific case is how much this person loss and which has pushed him to take his own life and leave his family and friends behind.
Granted, 3000$ is not pocket change and it can certainly be a small fortune in developing countries, but if we are realistic on this person's situation, I believe he would have gotten all that money back in a year or two by saving and investing responsibly part of his salary. It makes me believe that this person was not a simple problem gambler like other one can see in the street and in empoverished communities, this man probably suffered from very serious mental issues and complexes of inferiority, those could have led them to believe he was nothing if he did not have that money and continued to accumulate more.

I don't know what else to say... If he managed to confess to his family about his loss and the fact he was feeling suicidal, perhaps he could have found some support and avoided this destiny. That is one thing I have noticed from gamblers who decided to end it all, they do not talk about how they feel or the shame they have on their shoulders, just seek to end the pain.

may he rest in peace...

These things are real

• A person can gamble with loan money with the aim of making profit so he'll pay back the loan. He might become depressed if he eventually loses everything. Suicide becomes an option inorder  to be free from his tormentor ( creditor)
• A person can foolishly gamble with all he has got in the world,  hoping to double his wealth and live the kind of life he has always desired. If the outcome does not go as he expected, he might get depressed and frustrated. Making different thoughts (including suicide) run through his mind.
• A person who got addicted might lose money, lose friends, lose family and even lose his mind. Loneliness and social isolation kills.

All these things are real and many people are suffering from problems they cannot tell anyone. Reason I will not stop advising people to gamble responsibly because the consequences and be very bad.[/list]

Why would he run into a suicidal option just for losing to a casino?... Nobody asked him to wager on games innit; even though he made the worst decisions to do so, committing a suicide wasn't the best options to have taken at that point... I understand that sometimes, he's not even the rightful owner of money he spent; so at that point, karma cuts up with him and he starts getting the repercussions of his deeds right away - cus definitely, he's gonna think of means to pay back and sometimes, there are impossibilities to that...

I pity for him and I also stand to oppose any means of making or spending money that'd prolly push anyone into depression or suicide.

This exactly the reason why it's advised never to gamble with loan money or use gambling as a backup plan because you might just end up being disappointed and not everyone can be able to manage such a disappointment.

I understand what the fellow must have been through, but he's supposed to have truly understood the true nature of gambling, you can't completely rely on it to solve your immediate problem because you don't know luck will be on your side, it may fall on the day you least expect, if he had really understood this then he wouldn't have used gambling as a backup plan to raise money to repay his debt. But this still wasn't enough reason for him to take his life, several times we can find ourselves in situations that seems to be the end of the road for us but there always turns out to be a way out, I'm pretty sure if he had held on a while longer, he would've gotten a way out of his predicament rather than taking his own life.

Not only wrong but indeed I think they are stupid enough to give up their own lives just because they lose in gambling, I am sure that such people do not have an understanding or the intention is not to understand the actual concept that exists in gambling. The error  of thinking that makes them take their hopes too seriously is the main cause for a gambler to enter the addiction zone.

That is why you may often hear some advice from other people's ideas that we must be very careful in responding to gambling, there are many things there that can make you violate  the plan, especially the limits that you have built at the beginning, the weak application of self-control and boundaries makes them finally fall into the zone of addiction. In addition, the right understanding will make you a responsible gambler who can accept the risks at the end of the session. Basically, someone who has been dominated by lust will not be able to think clearly to make some considerations, all they think about is how they can gamble, the cycle of addiction creates a lot of pressure on gamblers who finally when depression and stress approach then it is not strange if they take unexpected actions such as suicide.

No amount of money can make me commit a suicide. I'm gambling occasionally and purely for fun but even if I'd make a huge bet for some reason and lose, that won't make me take my own life. I mean it's just money It's not worth it.

So what was he thinking in the very beginning—that he would always win all the time—and what kind of confidence made him wager what he couldn't afford to lose up to the extent that the loss shocked him enough to take his life? Some people will never learn how gambling works; they think everything will just dance to their tune all the time.
 

Do you pity the dead? They don't have anything to lose again. Who I'm concerned about right now is the family of the deceased; the people who he has owed might be after the family; the burial expense is also on the family's head; and the money that he has lost, even if it's gathered together, won't be enough to solve the problem that he has brought to the family, so I don't even pity him at all.

The crazy part is that gambling addiction seems so harmless at first which for this business man may have been because your so blind to everything around you that all your focused on is trying to win big, double your money or trying to recover an earlier loss not knowing that everything around you is falling apart little by little it starts to affect your mood, your family and even your job and in this case here, your business. It’s a crazy world to live the gamblers life.

First of all, allow me to tell you about something that happened in my environment.
With the existence of online gambling nowadays, many people know this and also do this and in my opinion this is the fact that many people gamble online to the point that their lives change drastically. I have neighbors who have children who are still young and quite mature, with their current social interactions, they are always updated on the internet and this makes them familiar with online gambling and this young man quickly understood it, one day he lost all the money he had and also his savings because he was gambling, and when this young man ran out of money he forced his parents to ask him for other reasons than to gamble, this was repeated many times so that his parents became suspicious of him, and finally his parents no longer gave him money. money to him and finally this young man took out an online loan where this young man applied for a loan which was not small in the agreed terms and would be returned at the specified time. Not long after, this young man again ran out of money where  the money from his initial loan had run out. used for gambling, it didn't stop him from making an online loan again but it was different from the first one, he used other access that was different from the first one, so everything kept repeating like this and left this young man in a lot of debt.

and one day this young man was approached by several people who said they were from an online loan company whose aim was to collect the debt that this young man had incurred, this family was disappointed, angry, sad because what this young man had done had made things difficult for him. all his family and this also happened many times because this young person took out loans not only from one company, and one time this young person had no news for a whole day and his parents were worried about their child because he had not been home for a whole day, and the next day This young man was found hanging himself in a garden not far from his house, but rarely did anyone pass by the garden so no one knew that this young man would commit suicide.
Suddenly my neighborhood was busy because of this incident, and from here I could see firsthand the dangerous impact of online gambling which could turn someone into trouble in all sorts of ways. It can also make them crazy or stressed if they don't have self-control. and also I think that this young man from my neighbor hanged himself because he was addicted to gambling, and took the wrong action by taking out a large loan and he couldn't pay off all his debts and maybe he became stressed and in the end he ended his life. So in my opinion, don't be careless with gambling, because the bad effects are enormous if we are addicted to gambling.

and in my opinion, if you really want to do gambling, just do it naturally don't expect more from gambling because this is just a game not a source of money. so don't do something too much because it can bring disaster later. enjoy gambling don't and overdo it.
​

I don't want to say this but it seems there's no other person to blame but the gambler himself. First, he knows that $3k is too much for him to lose, so why did he gamble it? What did he expect with gambling? That it was a sure win? I'm sure he wasn't forced to continue betting until all of the $3k was gone. It was definitely his personal decision. Second, why is suicide the way to deal with it? But this was also his personal decision. I'm sure nobody was pointing a gun at his head to commit suicide.

So all these are this man's free actions. He did all of them. Therefore they were all his fault.

This is the most ridiculous act and the worst decision a gambler has made, he has left a bad impression on gambling due to his decision to end his life. Family, relatives and people who live around where they live will view gambling as a dangerous and frightening activity because it can have fatal consequences for their mental health and family life.
Gambling is just a game, there is nothing dangerous that can result from gambling as long as the gambler is able to control himself or play responsibly. Wrong thinking when gambling can have bad consequences for the gambler's life, for example what happened to this young man.

It's true that there's no amount of money that it triggers you to kill yourself but that don't mean that you're a coward for doing that, tell that opinion to a person who lost their loved ones to suicide and then come back here and see if that's the truth, the Japanese don't even see suicide as cowardly sometimes because there are times when it's an honorable one. It is painful to hear that story but to start your post about cowardice is probably the most hypocritical that you can do, in fact whatever you're saying after that it's true.

I'm reading the replies in the thread and it sickens me that it seems that everyone here is soulless as I think they are and that you people are just here to fill your quotas in your signature campaigns, you might not know this people but the point of the news is that a person killed himself and it's probably not just because of the money that he's lost so stop saying stuff that are insensitive and keep that to yourself, it's weird that you criticize the person who killed himself and at the same time try to garner sympathy by saying fake stuff like you've experienced depression, you're not depressed trust me, you're just retarded and you know who you are and you are too many to mention.

Every person has a different mental condition and it is true that suicidal behavior is a very stupid act. I have heard of various reasons why people commit suicide for different reasons, but the strongest is because of financial problem. Indeed, losing a lot of money makes our minds become confused. chaotic even for those who cannot control their emotions and there are also those who get depressed because they think too much about the money they lost and cannot recover their losses, indeed gamblers should be aware that if they bet with money they cannot afford to lose, they should avoid gambling because gambling is full of risky of defeat.

Of course this can be a lesson for gamblers as I said before, and yes gambling is a game of chance and not everyone experiences the same luck and achieves big results together so it's better to use gambling as best as possible and use as little as possible so that you don't experience too much disappointment when the money is lost.

Someone who has the desire to win big will keep trying to gamble until he succeeds in getting it. But he doesn't realize that it will only make him develop a gambling addiction that he won't realize so his desire to win big will only make him lose even more money. He doesn't need to focus on winning big because gambling will not always give him a win, even if he can win. And someone who wants to double his money should give up because he will have difficulty doing it. There have been many victims of gambling addiction, some of whom ended their lives because they could not bear to see their huge losses.

We can say that, that person did not learned how to lose. I dont know why it is stressed that due to gambling he has decided to end his life, because in general he was emotionally unstable. It does not supposed to be exactly gambling that triggered his wish to leave this world. He might have similarly lost in a video game, lost his wallet, had a bad day, relationship might have ended. That last message with his plan to end his life, that he has left in social media shows his mental instability. People dont get such mentally unstable instantly. So it would be correct no to feel sorry about him, not to evaluate his decision, but to blame people who surrounded him, because they did not anything to help him.

What I can feel is that people are very destitute and depressed when they lose their money, but when people are in a lot of debt and that debt is damaged, they feel extra stress and because of the extra stress, they take decisions like suicide. The person that OP shared the incident must have lost all his money and also he may have taken extra money loan to recover his money and the money he took loan may have damaged that is why he took such a big decision. He felt that he might never be able to pay off his debt and never earn the amount of money he had lost. From such thoughts he may have made death easier. When I hear such incidents, my heart shakes without knowing how people can give their lives.

Sometimes a person's mental stress is different even with the same problem, you can't look at the same case, but you need to see that the difference in how each person responds to a problem is worth thinking about, maybe the young man was very depressed and felt that he lost his life after losing gambling. That's my response to empathizing with mental health.

but logically, instead of killing himself, he can still sell one of his kidneys for example, to get a few thousand dollars, hahaha this is just a joke.

Suicide is a wrong and stupid thought no matter what the problem is, because it is the nature of a coward who wants to run away from failure in his life, unfortunately maybe no one knows his problem, so no one reminds him to think wisely.

No. Because I gamble within my own means, with my own money management and I don't have that kind of extreme nature, to the point of hurting myself or ending my life.

That's why they are advised not to engage in such hobbies if they cannot control their emotions and they quickly get hyped because once they get addicted to it, there will be no turning back from it unless they learn their lesson quickly. Most of them are not wise enough to calculate what will gonna happen in the future because they have no idea and they only see the fun and entertainment while playing. This also happened to lots of the people in our community and they all became like the worst people in the world because of the traits they acquired from playing almost every day, people lost trust in them because of their addictions.

Life is priceless so there's no amount that you lose for you to commit suicide. We don't know the real score here, maybe he has another problem that is why he made that action but if really the cause is the gambling lose then sooner or later he will commit suicide. Assuming that he is still alive now because he won, maybe some other time when he loses, he will take his own life and that is what is happening to him now. He has suicidal tendencies i think and it just happen that it coincides that he lost big amount in gambling.

Deepest condolences to the family , this is not how gamblers must end because look
at this person being a Businessman ? having a bright future and family but now need to cut his own life
because of gambling the saddest reality His family will ever take.

instead of having a happy family now he is dead because of some wrong decisions in life
how many of this kind we need to witnessed before finally realized that gambling is not the best interest
to make us rich.

The funny thing is 2.5m isn't enough for something to end their own life, I have lost more than this amount when I was new with crypto, I lost a lot of money that I don't even have in my bank account all because I wanted to earn more, but I get over it in a week and learn from it, this makes me to even want to learn more and try as much as possible to avoid stupid mistakes.

I wish he had a different thought about the loss and just move on with his life, he would have probably start to recover slowly already, I can count up to three times that I have lose it all and start from the scratch again, its not always the end when loses happens.

I hope that greedy gamblers can learn from this man's story, if you are not ready to lose any amount of money in gambling do not even think about winning a lot of money with it, stop fooling yourselves and accept that you aren't ready to lose the money.

Idk, I don't really pity for people like this. I'd rather use the word dumb instead really. If death was the only thing needed for people to suddenly pity a person, I'd much rather have them scorn me while still living. All the better compared to being under the ground receiving empty stares of pity.

As for committing suicide, nope. I see no reason why even if I was financially challenged. In the first place I'm living my life to not have that specific issue, no reason why I should bring it forward myself. Heck, I imagine the only reason I'd ever commit suicide is out of boredom, or just losing interest in doing literally anything.

I guess we can also call them desperate gamblers. They are here becacuse they believe they can make money and could change their lives for the better, it's just that not eveyone has the iron heart to witdstand financial trials in our life. It's a dump idea to think gambling could solve our financial struggle, unless otherwise we really have the skills that we can rely to bring us some consistent profit, in that case, only few have.

Hmm it seems that your statement is quite reasonable, I would not say that the full cause of someone desperate to commit suicide because of the impact of my gambling, but what is more likely is that it seems that he comes with a bad situation or means having problems in his real life and then chooses gambling to vent everything he feels, without him realizing that this is not an alternative to solving personal problems but on the contrary, precisely if you choose gambling then you will suffer many new problems. Most people should already know about the adverse effects of gambling which can make people stressed and depressed because they cannot withstand all the pressure that occurs.

Choosing gambling to vent all the problems in real life is really not recommended, but it is unfortunate that lately many people have chosen this way, experiencing a lot of losses with large amounts makes a person act out of control because of emotions that control themselves, so it's better to just look for other alternatives to calm your situation a little if you are experiencing problems in real life.

Really people don't get blind to it actually but it is that same greed that make them not to consider the losing part of it. When gamblers want to bet that kind of huge money, they are already calculating their profit and what kind of car they want to buy after their winning and they don't look sideways to compare the challenges of losing or the the possibility of it but they calculate only the profit and what they want to do with the money. Some gamblers even start taking friends to hotel to drink when they feel nothing will stop their last game. So it is not about being blind but the greed that engulf gamblers.

From the new development we are getting from a close source it seems this young man that losed this money also took the money as a loan in the hope of doubling it and returning the money back to the loan company in no time. He had his own plans whereas gambling was having another plan too different from his. It is most likely that people that took  huge amount of loan money to gamble and lost it are the people that usually commit suicide after losing the money, because if you check very well it is not always so with those persons that uses their own money to gamble and loses it no matter how huge the amount is they will only sub, feel a bit depressed but rarely take their life since the money lost is there's and not a loan money. It is that thought of how to pay back a huge loan money that make these sets of persons option to taking their own life as an escape route. Unfortunately it's their family that layer suffer the double loss.

No offense but if you consider taking your own life over anything, you're an idiot. If you have a terminal disease that is unbearable, you might have a reason(Might), but other then that you shouldn't ever be considering suicide.

I wonder why people are so weak these days.

I've heard of people's shops, warehouses with goods worth millions of dollars completely burnt down and they thought that was the end. Some how, they started a fresh and they got back on their feet.

I don't know the circumstances surrounding the demise of the gambler, whether it was all he had that he used to gamble or it was a borrowed money, but no amount lost should warrant taking your own life. As long as there's life there's hope. He would have learnt his lessons and moved on.

We all do not have that kind of thinking, some easily get stressed and can't think of the right thing to do. And some will take their lives thinking that was a great solution to their problem. Indeed, it was just money and we can still get it but what if that is borrowed money and promise to repay it tomorrow? We can't really say that it was only because of gambling as it is possible that he used this to rid of his main problem yet the issues got worse and he even lost a lot of money. It was not worth taking and maybe if someone could advise him, he probably be saved.

In my own opinion, gambling addiction is not a good thing, but it can destroy a person's life, where the impact is so big that a person can change their behavior drastically. a person will experience a change in their mindset because of addiction, with this addiction it can make them spend the money they have and yet they may take out loans here and there to go back to gambling if  they no longer have money and of course their life will be in debt because of this addiction which has already occurred. make it difficult for them.

also if their thinking will be damaged due to gambling addiction, it is likely that they will experience stress, because their mindset has been damaged and makes them only think about gambling in their minds, also they will  be haunted by the debts they have, then it is possible They will experience stress if they are not strong enough to deal with the pressure they themselves have created so they may also commit suicide because of stress.

There's no amount of money that can make me to commit suicide, those individuals that committed suicide don't know the worth of their life and they don't love their life as when they love their self, they won't take their own life no matter what happens. Gamboling should be entertaining therefore if you're not having fun don't continue gambling. Didn't he see that he was losing to stop gambling and why did he used all those amount of money to gamble when he knows he can't take the result.

We shouldn't use peer pressure to start gambling so we can live up to the expectations for the society. Many individuals gambling are doing it to get money to flex in the society that's the reason the spend all showing off after winning some bets. As a gamble you should plan and have savings that can help you when you lose money that is meant to make you broke. Always use small wagers as the house always had the advantage so don't put too much at risk.

We will never know what problems he faced other than using his business money to gamble. Because, maybe if he doesn't return it, he will be imprisoned by other business owners (if the business is owned by more than 1 person) or other reason that making him more in trouble. We cannot assume that life is more valuable than money. For people who are desperate, they will follow whatever path they take, even though to us it seems like something ridiculous. of course I hope all of us not like him. when we have financial problems, we find better ways to solved than committing suicide.

For people who can't manage deep emotions and are easily fainted, gambling is obviously not meant for them. If they won't committ suicide, they resort into committing crimes, so definitely both are not good for them. And they should avoid gambling at all means to save theirselves from the traps of gambling.

However, if ask if there's amount that makes me think to committ suicide, I think there's none. My life is more precious than any amount of money, and I won't let myself being compromised just because of gambling. Gambling is just for fun, it should not be taken too seriously.

Why would people still choose play gambling with an amount that they can't afford to lose knowing fully well that gambling is unpredictable.  This is a game you can't tell what will your results will look like, so  their is no need risking your hard earned money on something that their is no guarantee it will be win that can cause one loosing life.

 Who should will blame for this ?? Gambling?? No!! people are already aware what Gambling is like and they still continue to risks their money to make money by all means. People should understand gambling that winning is by luck when losing money it is everything .

These kind of cases are actually quite rampant in my area as I hear so many stories of people actually ending their life which like you said is not an option whatsoever because before ever you involved yourself in gambling you would have the knowledge that gambling isn't something that's profitable at your every try and I think nothing in this world guarantee that, so everyone should know how to handle a little defeat, I mean if everyone ran to the option of ending their life over loses they have enquired then I think the human race would be really looking at the verge of extinction.

Yes, gambling is for everyone, but if you are not ready to lose, then don't gamble once in a while.!!

Gambling with the aim of getting money, but when you get a certain amount of money, the money is used up for gambling. That's stupid...
And what you say is true, that we have to be wiser in managing our finances. However, for stupid people, who believe that gambling can give them big profits and assume that gambling is a place to multiply money. They really can't manage their finances well. And when his desire to gamble has peaked, he will never care about what he is holding the money for and where he made it from, because the most important thing for him is gambling.

---

If someone is really serious about improving their behavior when gambling. So it's never too late to fix everything.

Unfortunately people are gambling for money, they do know lose is inevitable, but they always hope their last bet will able to recover all of their previous losses. That's why people who ran out of money in gambling don't mind to taking out a loan to gamble more with their last money.

The difference is the mentality of the person not what he lost, some people also in other cases such as heartbreak, many young people prefer to commit suicide because of such things, so the lesson to be learned is not to think that something that is in you is everything from your life, because that kind of mindset is in you then if you lose it you will be the one who will end your life, like the case of the young man who lost the gambling.

No matter how much he loses, if he has good personality fundamentals he will take more mature actions, but if he has a bad personality then that's how he will solve his problems.

So many people gamble and lose money even everything they have and are homeless but they never kill themselves. He was just not fit for that pressure, it's definitely not just that gambling is the reason for taking his life. There is much more to it.

He is a businessman as said in the link and most probably he is afraid that the world will see him in a position that people will look him down.

Gamble what you can afford to lose they thought it's a joke, a gamble addict should never take this words for granted, my first question is why did he choose to gamble with that kind of money instead why not create a business, common reasons why people will always say the rich are successful gambler than the poor, the difference is the mindset no rich man will choose to gamble with this kind of money instead he will build his business. I read the story yesterday on IG and I was speechless, the actual story  here is he borrowed the money and after the lose he could not pay back, just imagine the risk he took borrowing that kind of money with 2× interest, am speechless although everyone seems different and everyone has their own way of handling situations, he took those loans thinking he can pay back when he wins unknowingly to him no one can predict 100% right when it comes to gambling.

I also saw the news on one of my local websites. I felt bad after seeing it. From the news that I saw, I heard the guy was a businessman and he took a loan. Then he went ahead to go gamble with the loan, but unfortunately he lost the bet, and he decided to kill himself. I don’t know why you should take a loan and gamble with it, the guy is even having a business, he should have just used the loan that he took to boost his business, but he prefers to gamble with the money, and he lost.


No matter how difficult my condition is, I will never think about committing suicide. In every problem you think you have, there is always a solution, so the best thing to do is to sit down and figure out the alternative solution to the problem, rather than committing suicide. I can’t just imagine myself thinking about committing suicide, I don’t really know what people committing suicide are always thinking before doing that.


No matter the amount I lose on gambling, I can never think about committing suicide. I do always say that suicide is not an option, and instead of me thinking about committing suicide, I will rather stop gambling.

Gambling is very funny and highly unpredictable, you'll come up with a game you'd term SURE GAME, and if you're to be asked you'd almost swear with your life that this game is going to play in your favor and then out of nowhere you'll meet disappointment and then you wonder how it happened, every gambler should know this and prepare for it. Gambling can disappoint you in moments you don't expect amd also favour you in the least moment you expect too so it'd be sooo wrong to just assume that everything would go as planned all the time. I'm sure that guy had this in mind before going to gamble then she wouldn't have put so much trust in gambling as a last like of option. Because I'm pretty sure that he saw gambling as his last hope and when his last hope finally disappointed him, he felt he was left with no other option other than to take his own life and just end it all out of depression. Things like this should serve as a lesson to other gamblers who put so much trust in gambling and see gambling as a way out of any situation they find themselves because they may meet disappointment at any time.

I agree with what you say. Gambling isn't about life and death, it's just between winning and losing, so set the amount of bets you're going to bet well.

Gambling is just fun, if we're lucky we'll get more money, otherwise we've been playing for fun. So just use a little bit of your money.

To begin with, if a person lost money that was not his own, people will try to collect the debt from his relatives. Therefore, it is more logical to sell one's organs - this way one can somehow compensate for the loss. And suicide does not solve anything, except that the soul of the suicide will wander the earth for some time.

You're right, we cannot run away from our problems, we finds solutions to them, now that he commit suicide on himself, he just put the family in two devastating conditions, the loss of their brother and the burden of repaying back the debt he left behind, he chose to die by killing himself even before they could attempts killing him, i don't think I've seen a case of killing someone because of something related to this before.

From the information reaching me, he borrowed #1.2 million or $1.2k from a friend with the promise of returning the funds when he wins the bet. He preferred ending his life than facing his debtors. What a terrible choice. I don't think anything in this life can make me take my own life. He lost hope of living out of desperation to win the best which was cut off as a result of his great loss. I can't imagine that a businessman of his caliber stopped so low as to see gambling as an investment opportunity that he even had to go borrow to invest in it.  He literally failed the life test of endurance and keeping hope alive in the face of temptations and adversity.

Gambling in moderation should be adopted by everyone who wishes himself well in this life. I even hope that one day, strong government or gambling association policies can help  reduce considerably the excesses that people  showcase in the act of gambling. People need to be properly sensitized that gambling isn't a solution to poverty and isn't to be focused on when you need money. Its a means of mental relief and fun and not an occupation or an investment.

There is no loss which can be justified for taking own life, deeply saddened to see such disturbing news and the wort part is the fact that it's not the first time we have seen such news. I don't usually post in Gambling section but I think one shouldn't gamble more than what they can afford to live, there are some basic rules let it be for future trading or gambling that people only invest the amount which doesn't affect them financially as it's a gamble and our livelihood shouldn't be placed at risk. It's my humble request to all those who gamble to never gamble more than you can lose and nothing matters more than your life as one can go from zero to millions but life cannot be revived.

Still, that amount of money sounds rather small in my opinion, compared to the actions he decided to take... It leads me to believe even further there was something more involved on his mental situation or even financially. For example, the media and your sources could suggest he had taken such loan for a value of a lil bit over 1000$, however, there is a good chance he actually acquired debt for even more money than that and with different people, we may not be hearing or reading about it because the news are not informed enough.
Also, since he decided to ask for a loan to gamble, it is probable he had already sold all his assets and means of life (becuase he was a businessman). Regardless of the circumstances of all of this, we must respect him and also feel sorry for him and the people he is leaving behind. At least, he was a kind and sound in mind not to harm others physically before taking such a desperate thing, in a similar situation, others who cannot tell right from wrong would have lashed against other innocent people, before killing themselves.  

Just sad seeing how people are suffering from their own decisions. No one pushed us to gamble, it is with our own will and initiative especially with the amount we will be wagering. I am not blaming this man and also others who had the same experience but to emphasize this as a lesson; setting limitation is not a bad thing. It is better to accept a loss of 50% of your total bankroll than to lose everything. We are all prone to negative feelings such as regrets after a loss simply because we're just humans. Best thing is to always set a 'stop loss' to anything and to change our minds to not rely too much with your luck. Always be mindful that there is a tendency to lose which should be enough as a warning. Bet huge and you'll earn big, yes, but oonly if you are lucky enough no matter what odds is present.

Are mine in sane to take my life just because of amount less than $3k that I lost in gambling?
That's why in gambling we need to be prepared on the amount we used in staking otherwise it would lead to serious damage in our lives did he thought he would win such game to have gambling with #2.5m maybe he applied greed or possibly he went ahead to borrow such money to gamble. Gambling and borrowing is a two bad thing come together, anyone who involves himself in this such act are the person who will want to take his life because he has imagine how much he would earn from the gambling but on the contrary it went against him causing him to terminate his life thinking is the best option, okay what if it was his house he sold does it mean that he would go burn down the casino or gambling office?

More or less all of us are related to online gambling in particular but I don't know losing gambling and dying but really it's madness. However after losing money in gambling, the temporary nature of the self changes and then any kind of bad behavior comes to mind. But i go to face the situation when i lose more in gambling then i stop playing. I give some money to the family first and gamble with the rest so even if i lose i find it bearable. Usually society blames gambling more in such incidents but you have to understand that no one is forcing you to gamble.

After the complete loss,one can rebuild their own business using their self confidence and self belief.Like wise,the gambler also can able to regain their loss money in the gambling site.Sometimes the gambler are forced to get some loan to do the next game in the gambling because of continuous loss in the gambling site.If the gambler had the good potential game,he can able to regain their loss of their past.But if the gambler is new,this loan strategy is not good enough to take risk of the loan money in gambling site.


The gambler after the loss,whether he continues the game or quit the game by his own opinion.No one will influence him in the way to the next game after the loss or win.The gamblers automatically get some temptations to play next game after the win in the gambling site.

Apparently, this is one decision I always advise people not to make no matter the situation they find themselves, or neither should they gamble huge sum on any game no matter how much people claim it to be 100% sure odd. (i.e Gamble an amount they can not afford to lose). Because though the news online may be parading that "He committed suicide after losing #2million to gambling). But moreever, they never could have said the entire whole truth, while he did what he did.  Because at times you never can tell, that #2million might have been a borrowed money which he intended to pay back with interest, of which after losing the game and knowing fully well he can't afford to pay back his borrowed money, then decided to just commit suicide.

Hence, the two lesson I think we should learn from this is;
1. Never take a loan to gamble
2. Never gamble more than you can always afford to lose

It should be known to all that gambling is risky and therefore they should think many times before investing and playing with any money, as the loss will be for the gambler and the win shall be for the gambler too. Life is more important than anything but sometimes people become too greedy, take too bold steps and then things go out of control, then they have no option but to take bold steps like suicide and others.


This has been told to gamblers many times and the ones who are active here on bitcointalk know this golden rule very well that do not gamble with money which you can't afford to lose but when we gamble, we become too emotional and greedy that we forget everything and make such moves, they cost us our precious belonging of our lives.

You have a point, the family he left may have more problems because of the debts he left before he died (if there were any) there is also a possibility that his debtors will ask something in return. There are a lot of wonders in the world and we cannot hold the person's mind. I do hope his family were okay.

It was his fault though, He didn't even think about what the possible outcomes would be if he got into that gambling habit. In the end he became addicted to gamble and it's even worse because he has lost his right mind and has instead thought of killing himself just because he lost that amount of money.

The latter committed suicide perhaps because he was unable to accept what he had lost. And maybe he is finally very weak so he took such a risk to get big fast with all his last funds and after losing this money he got depressed and he got very worried about his future and lost confidence in himself. Due to which he decided to commit suicide. But his decision was wrong.  So I would always advise to invest in gambling only as much as you can afford otherwise something bad might happen to you too.

Not all gamblers are able to accept the defeat that happened to them, many also have the heart to end their lives because of the pressure of the defeat, but the percentage of gamblers who commit suicide is actually very small, in the last few years there have been only a few cases, although this is the case. This must be given special attention, I feel sorry for the family that has been left behind, I'm sure the family is really shocked by this news, I'm also saddened by this news.

This is nonsense why would a man killed himself because he loss 2.5m in a gambling bet then what was he thinking? Was he thinking that he would win all the time? Or was he a first comer in the gambling industry? Even at that he would have known that gambling is a game in which one can win and loss so there was no big deal in it to take one's life. Though it is not easy to have 2.5m in the country but even at that he was worked for it and if he is still alive he would have gotten more than that. Now that he has taken his life what has he benefits?

I am suspecting that it was greedy that made him to loss all the money at once. If not what prompted him to use all his money to play the gamble? I don't think I will kill myself because of money. He was also afraid of being a poor man again in the society.

Most casinos always advocates responsible gambling because they are very much aware of how much ruin it can bring to an individual in the Case of losses but then some persons do feel they are better risk takers so they just forget about been responsible enough and just go ahead to take in calculated risk which in some cases end up in misery.

Staking what one can afford to loose has always been the advice most persons give to gamblers but sadly greed will not let them heed, I think this was a case of greed because if you know this is such an amount you wouldn't be comfortable loosing, there's no need of trying to using such amount knowing too well that gambling is luck dependent and there's no certainty with gambling. Another possible situation could be bringing your personal needs and problem to casino, when you hope to solve a particular need with gambling proceeds, you end up disappointed and things like this could happen, there's no amount I will loose to the casino that will lead me to taking my life, none and never.

The man failed to understand that a responsible gambler should only gamble what he or she can afford to lose but he risk more that he can afford to lose (like bitten more than he can chew).
However, I don't think I can gamble if I have such money because I am gambling because 9f profits and not the other way round, and still I have limits, I can not gamble more than what I have estimated for gambling.
Although, it is not everyone that is so disciplined to control themselves even when they know that they are going way to far in gambling. The 2.5 million naira the gambler lost while gambling is also a small money because it can not buy back the life of the gambler that has taken it by him self, 2.5 Million is just about 2 thousand dollars and a lot of gamblers here have gambled with more than that amount of money but they didn't take their life by them self. So I am just trying to say that the gambler that killed him self because of the 2.5 million that he lost while gambling is not a responsible gambler and still he's not disciplined or have a self control, he allowed the love of bet to overcome him.

It is really unfortunate for this kind of situations to still occur even with the wide publication about the fact that you should only gamble with amount that you can to stand to lose without regretting. As a gambler the last thing that should be in your mind is greed, once you allow greed come into play you will begin to have situations like this, This person could have choose to have staked with a lesser amount of money that he could afford to lose, but he just wanted to double his millions withing hours.

And could be that while vetting on taking that loanhe had told the loan company he has a business establishment and wnats to use the money to put into his business to expand supply instead he used it to gamble, activity that is without certainty. I am suspecting (just a suspicion though) that someone must have tip him about doing that, using the loan money as to have it quickly double on a small odd that seem to have  good outlook of playing but bad luck stroke instead.

Rationally there shouldn't be any amount that sounds worthy of making someone take his own life all because he had loss it so stupidly. I have this friend a trader, whenever he experiences huge losses with his trades and upset about it what he does is to call one of his many girlfriend's and vent the anger on her in bed and that has been his own simple way of keeping things cool for himself. I think people should find a better way of settling their fears/anger/bitterness instead of opting for a life threatening decision.

There’s a lot of suicide incidents happened in the past in relation to gambling, and the casinos and regulation should do something for this or else the numbers will continue to grow.

This is the problem when you are too emotional doing gambling and also spending debt money, addiction also the top reason for this. Again, if you are a gambler always know how to control your emotion, stay within your limit and avoid being greedy because it can lead you to addiction and that’s the start of bigger problems.

They arent responsible for those suicides yet they've been not forced to play gambling in the first place on which it is really just that too conclusive for us to making them blame into these incidents
which we know that they are the ones who do make out such actions and when it comes to addiction to gambling then this is something that always falls down on someones responsibility and not
on the platforms on where they are playing.It isnt really just that right that we would really be pointing out fingers on them as they are just only giving out such leisure or service into those
people who are seeking for entertainment. It is really just that on certain individuals actions on why they do really end up like that.

Each jurisdiction have laws implied on casino that's why they need to pass on and government is doing some efforts to fight against addiction or at least sharing some knowledge about gambling awareness and its bad effect. I know some might get a hard time to locate this information but if we are just eager to dig up this for sure we can find it posted somewhere.  Also its up for the person on how he handle his self and if he basically decide to be in bad situation then provably that he will end up like this since he can't take the consequences of the action and decisions he do. So to be responsible gambler people always follow the plan they set on always gamble beyond their limitation and don't exceed with that.

Sometimes greed makes gamblers unable to think realistically, they cannot prioritize the risk of losing that they will bear, so they only think about the profits they will get. This is what makes gamblers feel like they can win gambling easily, even though betting large amounts will actually drain the money you have if you can't control your expenses.
When they realize that the money they used has run out, they can only realize that they have exceeded their limits and caused big losses. This incident can be a big pressure for the gambler and they cannot control their emotions so that the gambler thinks about recovering their losses by gambling. Moreover, if in the end they cannot recover it and the losses become unstoppable then their psychology will be disturbed and cause someone to commit suicide due to their own fault.
Therefore, be careful when placing bet, never gamble if you don't want your money to be lost and think clearly, no matter how serious your problems is, there will always be a solution and never use killing thorns as a solution to solve the problem.

Understanding the risks and accepting whatever will happen or what you will experience especially in terms of risk is the most important key before someone gets involved in this activity. That's right don't let you make this gambling a place to vent all your problems in real life, it's too dangerous and the impact may be greater than your problems in the real world. Honestly, lately I have seen quite a lot of people who end up tragically due to the impact of gambling, yes the average case is like this, they come with the intention of calming themselves or escaping from personal problems and then make gambling a place to vent everything, but the opposite happens, instead of getting calm but what happens is even more problems and this is much worse.

On the other hand, you come with poor mental and psychological health as a result of your personal problems and if you instead enter into gambling activities which basically require a lot of calmness and responsibility then obviously what happens is that your condition gets worse. In fact, there are quite a number of causes that can make a person enter gambling and one of them is such a case of this kind of release and lack of understanding makes them uncontrollable because of losing money. That's right on the other hand the pressure of losing large amounts is overwhelming and it's one of the reasons someone commits suicide, it makes sense.

Honestly, I am very sad to learn about this unfortunate incident, this is one of those things that happen in gambling and it just gives gambling a bad name  and make it look like a taboo for anyone to engage in it, why on earth will a full grown man like this take his own life simply because of a loss of $3000, people loss up to $20,000, $50,000 in gamblimg and still move on with their normal lives, if $3000 was too much for him to lose in gambling, why did he stake it?

This is such a bad news, and I hope that we all can learn even more lessons from this, always gamble with not more than you can afford to lose, gambling is risky, to be on the safer side, gambling primary for fun and let the profit be secondary, this is something Ive seen other users say here, and I am still joining them to say same thing.

May his soul find rest.

I don't like this question that you have asked. I do not think it is a right question to ask. Killing oneself by suicide is not something that occurs to everyone no matter what loss that we have been faced with. What legacy is he living behind for his kids or siblings that he is a coward who lived an irresponsible life. No sugar coating it.

Casinos have a section on their website to help persons struggling with gambling addiction. If they have read by people committing suicide then, they should review that section and add a "How to deal with loss" section too.

This one of the reasons why the gambling thread is always discussing issues concerning gambling while educating many people about gambling. Sometime ago, someone introduced a topic on "gambling responsibly" which many people contributed their respective opinions about gambling responsibly and how a gambler should not exceed his gambling limit. I've always said this on this thread that if a gambler can't gamble responsibly or can not control his emotions after losing money in gambling, it's absolutely unwise for such person to even engage in gambling activities in the first place because he's very unlikely to manage his emotional feelings when he loses big.

According to the news I heard about the incident of the guy that committed suicide after losing a lot of money in gambling, more than 50% of the total amount of money he lost in gambling that made him took his own life was borrowed and it was borrowed after he went bankrupt by losing all his money to gambling and in his quest to get back the already lost money, he decided to borrow money to gamble more with the hope that he's gonna win big at the end of the day but unfortunately for him, he lost all to gambling and became depressed immediately. He couldn't manage his emotions about his huge loss abd decided to take his own life.

May his soul rest in peace and I wish others will learn from his experience.

I don't think it will give gambling a bad name in the sense that gambling took a life of a person. I guess no, this does not happen. In fact the gambler himself is responsible for what he did. There are moderate gamblers too who gamble for years and years and yet they will never dare to take such steps which may cost them their lives.



Yes, this incident can be a lesson for other gamblers, especially the ones who are new and do not know how far this gambling can take them and how it can influence our emotions to take such bold steps.

It might really be that repetitive or something that would turn out to be casual when we do speak about discussion or correlated things on which it wont really be that totally useless at all on which people specially newbies will really be finding out these feedbacks and opinions to be really that relevant specially if we do speak about gambling addiction on which these words would really be giving out that kind of awareness on which it would really be that helpful for them to avoid gambling addiction and possible these kind of accidents and thats why it is really that good that we do have this forum on which it would really be something helpful
if someone do really have some time to read up.

It is really just that sad to hear up these kind of stories on where someone do took out his life just because of gambling or severe debt problems. Yes, it might that simple to say since we arent on their
shoes but we do know that in each problem, there would really be that a solution to that and this is why it would really be that better that we should be thinking up first
and trying out to assess things well before making decisions. Life is precious and think up about your family or loved ones. Problems do always have a solution.

First, it was a foolish act by him, and he didn't demonstrate the character of a real or responsible gambler. There's no way a real gambler stakes an amount that they know will lead them to commit suicide if they lose. Real gamblers are usually aware that the results from gambling are not even 80% certain, which is why they must only gamble with the amount they are willing to lose without emotional problems.

I cannot commit suicide if I lose in gambling, and the reason is that I will not be so pushy to become very insensible and stake the amount that will affect me very badly.

people who have a short mind might commit suicide because the pressure is too much for them, even though all of that is caused by themselves, they should be able to restrain themselves with the pressure they create, and take responsibility for everything they do, by committing suicide I don't think it solves the problem, because the company that lent him the money will not consider it paid off even if he commits suicide, the company can just throw the responsibility on his family like you said.

from the beginning it is clear the bad effects of gambling and they should be able to accept it or the good thing is that they can avoid the effects of gambling by gambling reasonably not excessively, if they gamble excessively then they must be prepared for the risks involved. someone who is stressed out by gambling because of the pressure of gambling should be able to take responsibility for everything properly, suicide or running away will not solve everything just like that.

He knows that nobody is going to give him a loan if he tells them he wants to use the money to gamble, so maybe he told them he needed a loan to expand his business, and after getting the loan, maybe he decided to gamble with it just to increase the money, but he doesn’t know that gambling is not meant to increase money. When gambling, you can easily lose your money and you can win. Don’t take a loan and gamble with it, hoping things will go right. Maybe that was the mindset the guy was having, and things didn’t go as he planned, so he decided to commit suicide.

There is nothing wrong with this question and we should not be sainter than the saint itself. As a matter of fact, this kind of discussion is more needed on this forum and everywhere else where gambling or addiction means are being discussed, no one prays for such unfortunate things but it will be a constant reminder for us to know our limits and show restraints at some points. This will also encourage people not to gamble with the amount that can cause them harm or to take drastic measures because of losses. It has the capacity to even make some people rethink the drastic measure even if a painful amount is lost. When there is life, there is hope, and I have read more of such similar encouragement on this thread. You see, trying to avoid hearing everything out always doesn't help us to prepare for the worst, and preparing for the worst makes us stronger. This we should know.

Besides, do you know why they now encourage parents to teach their children "sex education" at a young age? Everyone in the psychological/mental field also supports this not because it's meant to corrupt the children but to educate them on the worst, and the dos and don'ts. This is what this topic is passing across as well, it only depends on how you view it. And if you show your bitter indignation about some lifestyles, so will others learn from it, and might help their mental state when, they, too want to make some drastic moves that are negative.

On average, those who commit suicide are not true gamblers or professionals in their field, most of those who commit suicide are beginner gamblers who become gambling addicts because they do not limit the budget they have, use money for living needs, not money that is ready to be used until In the end it gave him a new problem, he had to borrow money from a loan shark and then get an evil loan shark.

I know that suicide cases are only carried out because of pressure which makes him increasingly frustrated, making his life no longer meaningful so he decides to end his life because he cannot pay debts or recover the money he has lost previously or it could be important assets that are sold because his gambling behavior is not controlled and he limits his budget properly. This should be an important lesson for beginners to understand every risk of gambling such as losing.

It’s true that most of the newbie players is prone on playing without any control that will result to suicide when loss heavily but there some cases too that even old player commit suicide if they lose huge amount since old players is not exempted on suffering huge loses on gambling.

On this story, I believe he is just the newbie since the amount involved is too small that needs to resort to suicide to to cope on loses.

I hope the soul find rest, this type of death are the painful one that the family will never forget, anytime a close relative or family member want to engage in gambling, even if there is no addiction yet or he has his money to stake and wager, they will be against it and if he want to prove stubborness, they will remind him how their son died miserbly from same gambling he his trying to do. This kind of sad time will forever remain a scar on the family skin because once they mention gambling or sport betting, it will always irk them and would be sad aboyt it.

A great lesson for people that are doing more than their pockets, always going here and there just to stake something because they want to make quick money, this is ow they always end. Under normal circumstances, that amount should have been used to start a business but he risk it and instead of him to swallow the pain, he chosed this path to hurt his life and the family.

Imagine a bunch of buddies enjoying casino gambling. Its all fun, they say. One is on the brink, unknowing to the others. They're stuck in a losing cycle. A common scene. We promote gambling's enjoyment but disregard its allure. Despite your good intentions, your reasoning ignores this.

Its bold to compare gambling to sex education. However, are we educating or normalizing? Understanding limits is important, but gambling often blurs them. Realistic, not sanctimonious. Overconfident people are readily swayed by gambling. Lets enjoy gambling, but we must also recognize its dangers.

I think the reason why the suicide rate among newbies are high is due to their lack the funds, they might have the funds but they can't afford to lose which cause them to take their own life, just to escape reality. Some would say why would they do that, remember that our world runs on money, some people could even buy someone's life instead of thinking like that it would much be better to help them, there are a lot of ways to help someone who is suicidal not only financially but emotionally, mentally or physically. Even professionals are prone to this kind of case. Just like in investment, do not stake the money that you can't afford to lose, not only it would affect you financially but it could worsen your situation in many things. You can use limiting yourself to avoid losing that much money.

He imagined only one aspect which was his biggest blunder. Gambling has wins and losses. He may not have tried to understand the consequences of borrowing or loan money. Maybe he forgot it for the time being. Sometimes people don't know what to do when they become too reckless. What I think is that the gambler may have started thinking to himself that he cannot repay the money because of his gambling losses. It may be that he may take such a decision fearing that the lie he resorted to may be revealed to others. But everyone knows that suicide is a worst decision. People with such problems should not engage in gambling with borrowed money.

There is no amount of money that would pressure me to commt suicide, for me we could always earn it back and I wouldn't gamble an amount that I couldn't afford to lose.
We should always remember to "Gamble or Invest only what we could afford to lose".

On the moment or time on which you are already into that kind of emotion boost or your mind is already that only thinking about winning, then you would really be neglecting out those losses specially into your own money or bankroll. If you do saw that it is depleting or simply having no balance, then your mind will really be telling you that you should really be getting some money for you to play further. This is where someone would really be thinking on getting up some loan specially if they dont already have the money on their pockets which it is really just that suicidal thing to be commited out by someone and this is why you should really be that careful in speaking about taking up some loan because on the time that you wont really be able to repay it then your fucked up.

The problem lies majorly with us, the individuals who partake in gambling as an activity. What would you have these casinos and regulation bodies do to reduce the rate of suicide in the society due to gambling activities? They already advised you to gamble responsibly; it’s not their fault people fail to heed to their advice.
Perhaps, a campaign on the negative aspects of gambling should be regularly held to discuss with citizens about the dangers and how it affects peoples lives and homes.

It is totally unacceptable. How can someone kill himself just because he lost a bet?

This goes to tell that people take gambling as a life and death event. It is not the way it should go.

Gambling has a greater percentage of luck than it has with skill and if you don't consider it a luck thing then your approach to it will become aggressive and extreme.

May his soul rest in peace

It’s really very sad news i read this story, although i heard a lot of such incidents even in my country, I think this is the result of excessive greed in the gambling, I don’t know why should he made a bet in such a large amount where if he loses he may lose everything and even his life, because there are no sure win guarantee in gambling so definitely it was big mistake by him because we should to make a bet with affordable amount which will not any bad impact in our life if we will loses.

To be sure, I don't know exactly what happened to this man.  what happened to his gambling, and what was the problem in his life. I can't draw conclusions based on just one side of the story, like the story in this example thread "a gambler committed suicide after experiencing a loss. We can talk about a conspiracy, or the background of why a person committed suicide, whether this was purely because of the action of losing at gambling. or, there are other causes behind it. Maybe this man had consumed illegal substances excessively, or he had other personal problems. Coincidentally, he gambled, lost, then committed suicide. To be honest, I didn't read the information you shared, but we can already guess  the contents of the story from the link you shared. In every case like this story, there are no concrete facts that form the background or the original story is based on a valid source. So the question is, did this man really commit suicide because he lost gambling. Or, was there another problem? and at the same time after gambling and losing, he ended his life. Well, I think only those closest to him know about it.

Now we refer to your question, "Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?" yeah, of course with various cases and stories, with various different backgrounds. there are times when someone is at their lowest fad point, especially if someone is hoping to win from their gambling. then, in the end he ended it because the problem couldn't be resolved. in other words, he lost a bet where the scenario was to get a big win to cover something, for example a debt. There are also many other stories, after all this is a case that we often encounter. Unfortunately, the media only highlights what they do, let alone headlines. example in this thread, losing at gambling. the truth is, no one knows anyone in the community.

"If yes, then don't ever use such an amount to gamble."  This is very true, but unfortunately that is not the essence. I can't explain it clearly because it's too long. However, what we should realize is, play with what you can afford without harming anyone. also, self-control and understanding. thus, you can play and enjoy the gambling session. if you lose, just end it and continue later.

Suicide is never an option whether it's lose of money, or lose of a loved ones or any kind of lose in life. It certainly never was and never will be. Just like you said one may lose $20,000 or $50,000, but that doesn't mean that's the end of the world for them. I feel bad for that guy. I really do. I am just thinking about his family how hard will it be for them for accepting the truth that their child is no more. May he rests in peace.

Another thing is that we may not really know what the person had committed himself into that still goes along way of being more personal to himself alone which the public are not aware about, but no matter what its still not worth killing self even when the death has not arrived yet, this is one of the reasons some people needs a proper reorientation on gambling and from the way they live their lives.

Basically what makes many people commit suicide is because their minds can no longer think clearly, their minds are filled with excessive stress due to losing at gambling and this is all because they are addicted to gambling so they are no longer healthy when betting. Addiction is a big problem in gambling, so before entering the world of gambling, they must first prepare mentally, control, strategy and greed.

Just now I was looking for cases of suicide due to gambling on the internet and the result was that there were a lot of people who committed suicide due to gambling, and on average they were no longer gambling just for entertainment but had used gambling as a place to make money quickly.

I understand why people do this. They get this feeling of being overwhelmed with sadness and desperation and see no way out of it. Their mind tries to look for a way out but everywhere they turn they see a problem. It's like when you're a teenager and your first love breaks up with you, you feel like it's the end of the world, like you'll never find a girl like that again and your friends will laugh at you, you'll be always alone, you'll see her with another guy, that guy will laugh at you...

If you just sleep it over, wait a few days, you'll see that there's another day and every new one will be better and easier.

If you guys ever feel like that, start thinking of suicide, know this:
You're always in a better situation than you think you are! When you think all doors are closed for you, it's not true. Some are still open but you can't see them.
You either need someone to help you see them, or you need time to heal and see.

Yes it should be like that, I think no matter how big the problem they are experiencing but it is still stupid if they commit suicide or choose that action, however life cannot be paid for with anything because it is so precious. I think it looks like the man has a very weak mentality or and at that time emotions were so uncontrollable that he was desperate to end his life.

That's the danger of gambling if you come with the wrong intentions or that is not recommended, so consider some of the people closest to you including those here who often give some positive advice regarding gambling whether in terms of limits or control, it is very important and if you ignore all of that then maybe you will experience a lot of problems and great pressure so that you cannot control yourself and act out of control, I think this case is the worst and reckless I have ever found.

If you know that then leave gambling which it is irresponsible and a case like this is not the first time this has happened because there have been several previous cases too. Loss of common sense makes someone decide to commit suicide and for me this is quite ridiculous and stupid.

Of course, people will commit suicide because they experience big losses or it could be that the money they use to gamble is not theirs, so when they experience defeat they experience inner pressure to return people's money.

Gambling people with a more responsible budget can definitely control themselves compared to people who spend money on gambling after working hard. For example, they use bonus money or overtime at work to gamble and may not be active gamblers.

I can't do it to myself to kill myself because I lost a lot in gambling, yes it's stressful, sad, all the painful emotions you get. Money can't buy my life. Let's always remember that no matter what test comes we can overcome it as long as you trust yourself. It's not because you lost that much money that you're going to kill yourself, sure that blessings will come to you in the future, sure that something better will come to you.
You did have that kind of money so it's not impossible for that to happen. Let's appreciate our own life.

Just reading this now but that's terrible.  Gambling addiction and evening just gambling above your means is insanely detrimental to people.  I couldn't stomach gambling enough to where if I lose I would consider ending my life it's just not worth it.  It's just money.  I hope someone will at least see this amd think twice about going "all in" hopefully saving someone else's life.

Gambling addiction and going beyond the limits is always risky. As most gamblers mentioned we should know our limits. These incidents were a learning for most of the gamblers here. Myself had the thoughts of ending life, which is really bad. When we're in loss many things reach our mind, but we should not take the decision to end life in any situation. We should look for a way to come out of the problem.

With modern laws on bankruptcy and being able to move on and restart nobody should be suffering such a fate.  It is a mistake based off a poor frame of mind, emotional upset and such a person requires counselling  and good advice to best guide them, they are lost but can be better helped if the thoughts of this person is realized in time.
  In the old days if you were unable to pay debts it could result in prison or many other things where as today the debt can be mediated via many services between the debtor and those owed money.  Its part of a better modern society we have, it may not be perfectly that way in every country but many places you should not fear being in this situation you can recover. Its also better for society if people realize a mistake can be recovered from despite many regrets its not the end of things.

This is common news if you'll ask me. A lot of people who are in too deep in the gambling scene's looking at suicide as a final resort. I often see reddit threads about this topic too, where casino staff who obscures their identity on reddit confess about the dark sides of the casino industry, with suicides in the bathroom stalls or their complementary hotel rooms being a common scene. Some already suicidal folks would take a loan in the bank, splurge it all off in the casino for one last high, and then off themselves in the casino premises as well. It's a depressing ordeal and to think that this is happening all the time in brick-and-mortar casinos just fucking me up so much in the head from trying to fathom the mental fortitude it would take for you to actually stay afloat in that industry. Jesus christ.

It's because what circles to his mind when he's lost that amount of money. Is that money really his or it's just a money from another person and he gambled it with the thought that he might grow it but then ended up losing it all.

We don't know what's exact on the mind of these people when they seem to be hopeless because of their actions.

It's never been an option and no matter how big the problem is, gambling related or not, don't ever think of it. And now the question of what amount lost can make someone (not me) do it? I think that's a disturbing question and prefer not to answer.

This is the sad story I ever heard from a young man who has a future rather than focusing just on gambling. I don't know what exactly his mental state was at that time, maybe he had another problem which may be the main trigger to killing his self, because for me, no matter how much i am lost, I can still calm myself, and thinking if the money can be found and earned again by working, but life?, It's just once, we can not recovered again like like we're looking for money.

Maybe next, the gambling site has to take psychological tests for the new user?.

A person can only take his life if he is under immense mental pressure, and that mental pressure makes them mentally paralyzed after one point which means that they lose the ability to think or understand anything, that's when they decide to end it all and they finish their life. They say that a person loses their ability to think or feel anything within 15 minutes of committing suicide, but I would say that they lose this ability right after the point where they start taking too much stress. After that point, they just stay pressurized until the last moments.

Gambling or anything else that involves finances and carries risk isn't for people who can't handle pressure or don't have low self-esteem and self-control, because such people will quickly become stressed out even if they lose a small amount, and that pressure starts building as they keep losing until it reaches a point from where they can't go back or get out.

There is no amount of money I can lost that will make me take my own life, even if I feel like i can't, because that's suicide, as a Christian it's even a condemnation, a very big sin, such thing trapped your soul and they become stranded in the spirit world, because its never you time to leave this earth, you forced it.

If this man just give it time and sleep over it, he will get over it, you are hurt and its fine to cry it out, its fine to be sad for day, but it will come to past and you will be fine, I have lost more than $3000 before and my bitcoin wallet was hacked weeks ago, I am now used to losing money and I have this peace in me that I will always be fine.

If you can't afford to lose a amount of money don't use it to gamble, people still won't learn from this story, but I hope they stop risking a lot of money on gambling, its most times not going to worth it because losing is the most possible thing that will happen when you gamble..may his soul rest in perfect peace and I hope his creator forgive him for taking the life he can't create.

Yeah, you have a point but even those religious people have this kind of suicide thoughts once they experienced heavy problem in their life, even if they cry, pray and rest a lot, still there's a big problem waiting for them that's why so many intrusive thoughts comes to their mind. It's easy to be said but it is hard to apply once we are on their shoe. mental health is so important nowadays so it's better if you have yourself checked by the professionals.

Everything has a solution in life when it comes to money problems,you just have to not give up no matter how bad the situation represent itself to you there is always a solution.I understand that when you have a huge loss and you think everything is finished for you and you go for the route of taking your own life yet this nothing solves for the person who does that.He only harm himself to the very end and this is the worse anyone can do to himself,desperation is a really bad thing for anyone and the devil is there to whisper you to devastate you completely.I feel extremely sorry for this type of situation yet they have happened and will continue to happen,I don't judge the person doing it while I believe these type of persons are of a weak character.

Although it's simple to see a gambler's loss as a surefire route to hopelessness, life isn't always clear-cut, is it? It's smart that you're hesitant to make snap judgments based on one story. Could underlying problems like personal or mental health concerns be hidden by gambling, acting as a symptom rather than the cause? Understanding the variables that could lead to such a catastrophic conclusion is essential

The need of setting boundaries and being self-aware is critical. Playing within one's means is a good idea in all facets of life, not just gambling. Is it not about realizing one's own boundaries and the possible consequences of going over them? The secret is to balance this strategy with having fun with the game. But the reality of addiction and losing control may turn an innocuous pastime into a hazardous one. Therefore, isn't it imperative to approach gambling (as well as all other decisions in life) with prudence and introspection, understanding the value of moderation and the possibility of harm?

The particular story has gone viral in my locality, just this afternoon I heard some people debating on the stupidity of the gambler, saying it was utter foolishness for anyone take or actually think of even taking his life. Gambling is something that should be done at the expense of knowing you can endure every lost that comes your way because losing is actually the bigger part of the habit, I am led to understand that the ratio of gamblers who are at profits than lose is very small as the major population of gamblers are at lost more than winning.

I'm not sure if it is all about his big losses, for some reason he could use it as an excuse for the main reason.
In fact, he is a rich person and I know he could afford to lose that huge amount but there is something behind that story and we don't know yet. Because I don't he was stupid to commit such suicide just for that amount knowing that he could still make money as he had the capacity to do it.

Well, whatever the main reason for such a scenario, still it was a big mistake. He was too emotional and might have a mental problem.

people who are addicted to gambling generally know that they are addicted to gambling and surely they can spend a lot of money just to gamble and also all the losses are caused by themselves who have no limits in gambling so even if they are in debt here and there they should be able to pay it off, because by committing suicide or ending their lives it is not the solution to everything, the pressure that exists and is caused by themselves should be overcome with self-awareness by completing everything, because all the pressure that occurs is also what started it is him so he should solve everything with guidance, but not by ending his life.

Like you, no matter how lost we are, but we must be able to remain calm, because all this happens also because of our own actions. I agree with that. take responsibility for what has been done.

It's just sad that we can read such news stories that a life has been lost due to losing a large amount of money in gambling. But that is not enough reason to commit suicide. The gambler who died could have prevented that suicide.

It's just that he's carrying the weight of depression, and maybe he has other problems apart from his gambling loss; maybe he has other personal problems like family matters, or we just don't know. So as gamblers, we should really avoid being greedy with money so as not to lead to addiction.

Having and possessing a positive mindset, I agree with this. Tough times do not last, tough people do. So it's really a matter of mindset and attitude towards a situation. If you will let the situation control over your emotions and actions, justifying going reckless, or being impulsive, then you will definitely lose. Self-harm and killing yourself won't solve your problems. Those problems can be handled later on, you just need to be strong enough. I know this will be hard, but if you really want to survive, you gotta have a strong guts to keep moving forward. Money matters can be solved if you already have enough mental headspace to address the issue. So, you should start healing yourself then rehabilitate to avoid doing worse things.

I sympathize with him.  It ain't easy to keep your head up and staying optimistic when you're losing money and feeling lousy about yourself.  That's why you gotta set boundaries and only gamble funds you can afford losing.

 And if you sense youre losing your grip, the best thing is to bail and take a timeout

If many gamblers were aware of the risks of gambling, they should not use a lot of money to gamble. They also don't need to experience a lot of losses, which could make them think short of ending their life because they suffer so many losses from gambling. Unfortunately, many people still gamble with big money, and many end up losing a lot. Of the many gamblers who experience defeat, some people decide to end their lives because they think they cannot afford to lose the money they have used in gambling. They think that by ending their life, their problem will resolved and they don't have to worry about losing. But they should be able to think about what would happen to the people they left behind if they decided to end their lives.

That's why people consider gambling to be a bad activity because it can have a bad impact when someone cannot be responsible regarding the budget spent. Gambling addicts find it quite difficult to set limits, especially regarding the use of their own or other people's money, because when they experience losses it will result in panic which leads to deciding something beyond logic and ultimately the person will commit suicide.

It is best to stay away from gambling if someone is not ready to accept the risk of losing money, gamble responsibly by considering the resulting risks and as much as possible set a special budget so that it does not interfere with daily life as a fulfillment of life.

I'm sure most of the gamblers behind the scenes are aware of the risks that can occur in their gambling journey especially experiencing a lot of losses, maybe we can say that they shouldn't use a lot of money because there is always no certainty and guarantee but the problem is that different situations will make different decisions and that's why there are still many people who break the rules and limits that they initially set, tempting situations can be a big driver for them to always overdo it to realize a hope. They think that by bringing a big budget, the victory will also be big, I admit that it is true but on the other hand do you have a reason why you can be so sure that you will win? while on the other hand the house will always win.

That action will only make you experience a greater number of losses because the percentage of wins is much lower than losses and that is the reason and fact why more lose than win. On the other hand understanding what gambling really is is very important if you really want to get involved, don't let you come because you are lured by the chances of winning because when you are involved then everything will change meaning that your beliefs and hopes are nothing more than hallucinations because it is so difficult to win, the great pressure of losing makes them emotional and act out of control, I am sure the pressure suffered by that person is so great that he is desperate to commit suicide.

I have always thought about something, when a player makes decisions like that it is because it was really wrong, it was very wrong because of finances, everywhere, because personally when a person is in a casino it should be clear that things can be different. easy and can take difficult paths, because losses are what can be generated at any time, a player before playing in any casino must understand that casinos are not businesses, companies that will always seek to win, and those that give money to Casinos are ourselves, so this is what we must see so that it can generate money, if we think maturely, then we can generate money , why? because if we have a balance totally ready to lose, it is one thing that changes everything, the biggest problem of every player is that when they play in the casino, they put in a lot of money and do not control it and can become decapitalized, that is what should be avoided, decapitalization is very common in people who do not know how to manage their emotions.

We are people who have to learn to have self-control , basically when we are in a place like casinos and there is no control, because with money many people get delicate, sometimes they are not able to endure losses and that means that they Cannot guarantee things as they are , maybe the person who killed himself was in a great depression, possibly with debts, alone, with no one, because sometimes people are not at the level of things , and they can do things like that by making decisions that It cannot benefit them, in addition things with casinos are quite strong if the person is not very clear about what they have to do , what they have to Master , I personally have always said that when you are in a casino you must have own rules , and that is what we must always consider, therefore it is better to have another vision of the casinos, the most correct one.

Mental health is a spectrum, not a binary switch. The path to darkness is frequently slow, with subtle emotional and cognitive changes. Stress is rarely the issue; its how the mind handles it. Consider this tale: Average Jane starts online gambling. Its fun at first, but losses increase her tension. She thinks she can recover, but each loss deepens her financial and emotional hole. Jane's experience shows how gambling's addiction exploits the human inclination to chase losses, creating a destructive cycle.

Relationship with gambling matters. This high-stakes game requires self-control and alertness as safety nets. Lacking these attributes makes people more vulnerable, but dont generalize. Some like gambling without the risks. Balance, knowing limits, and playing with a clear mind are key. ::) ::)

Well, I am so sad for him and for his family as it is a very heartful accident that happened to them. We all know that gambling is not always on our side not fully work on our desires but still, people doing this. If you are not comfortable with an amount or can't afford to lose then why do people put into gambling knowing that if they lose they will lose all of their funds? There is some person who takes the gamble too seriously and when they face such a situation they do not see any hope and last, they do suicide. One thing that I wanna highlight here is that the fund you lost did not come automatically, you are the one who earned that money and if a situation like this comes then think for a while that you can earn this money again because you have the ability and you can rid of this situation but if you chose suicide then nothing will change and the tough time on your family after you will be increasing day by day.

He lost 2.5 million naira in their nigerian currency if it will convert in USD it’s around 3K$+, Apparently, it was not such a large amount of money that caused him to commit suicide, so i agree with you here other reason behind gambling losses or it was such a big loss for him that he mentally lost control of himself and did this.

This is not a good one taking your life because you got loss? Sounds bad for me no matter what happens we need to control ourselves we need to focus on the real life bot in gambling life. That gambler failed his life because of losses maybe that money he use for gamble is the money that they really need. And that's the reason why he take his life. That's a quite big amount if money but before he doing anything he must think thrice or even More the outcome of his plan. But it's already happen for sure his soul will regret what he doing.

Yes, they are aware of the risks they will face in gambling. But the problem is that most gamblers get greedy when they win and don't decide to stop immediately. Apart from that, many gamblers end up gambling with large amounts of money, which causes them to experience losses that they cannot bear. It makes them not think about what they should do after experiencing a big loss so they decide on what they think is a shortcut to end it all and that's what makes them decide to end their life instead of solving the problem. They won't be able to win as easily as they imagine so they should think about never using a lot of money to gamble.

The level of winning that gamblers will get is not as big as they imagine, especially if they use more money to gamble. They will only experience bigger losses if they repeat the same things. That is why gamblers understand that they do not need to use big money to gamble to avoid losses that can also be bigger. They need to take good care of themselves when gambling so that they don't experience problems that could occur after they finish gambling. It is true that if a gambler experiences a big loss, they will feel pressure, which can make their emotions unstable and in the end, they will decide to commit suicide to end all the problems resulting from their gambling losses.

I think the biggest trouble is that we are talking about people who already have psychological issues, that's the main root of the problem. If I lose everything I have to gambling, and I mean everything, my house, my car, my possessions, my money, have maxed out credit card and maxed out loans and all, basically ALL is gone, which all would be worth a ton, and would mean I will never live a decent life ever again, I would still not consider that as a reason to hurt myself.

You can leave me with one pant, one shirt, and leave me on the street with none around me, my family disowned me, my wife divorced me, living on the streets and I guarantee you that in 6 months to a year I will build myself a life where I could just sleep at a tiny room, and have food everyday to eat, sure not a rich life, quite poor, but not homeless drug addict or taking my life levels. This is mental health, you need to have mental health at good level to be like this, it's not talent or skill, it's not seeking help when you need it.

That's right, and actually the solution is only those closest to him and also people who realize that he is in big trouble, and the problem is because he is not honest or open about his problems, especially with his gambling problem. If he opens up, there will definitely be some people close to him or his family who always look after him and can also provide advice while he is gambling, and may also know when he is experiencing stress and depression due to experiencing huge gambling losses.
Actually, there are still many ways out in any problem and no matter how big if we are open and honest. And if not then he will increasingly lose his mind and Satan will support him which will make him lose a lot of money because of gambling and also make him commit suicide because of his weak faith. And I am very concerned about this incident, and the people who commit suicide not because of their actions, but because they are not honest or open to those closest to them and their family. Because there is a possibility that they will find out about it, prevent it, advise it and so on with kindness.

The weakest human in the world is a human who is willing to take his own life, his mind is very short, there are many gamblers out there who lost more money than him but they have no intention of ending their lives.  Therefore, every gambler must have good thoughts and strategies when gambling, try to set a budget when starting to gamble, not more or less, don't create debt just to gamble, if you lose and run out of capital then stop for now, continue tomorrow, capital that has been lost is impossible to return again in a short time.

Case to case basis actually but you do really got a point that in every problem there would really be that a solution.It did really just turned out that he had opt in on taking his own life
for him to be able to solve out that problem on which we know that it wasnt really worth at all on trying to kill yourself just because of money. This is why i can say that people who do really
have this kind of thinking are to those people who have those weak mind and emotion on which they do really easily give up just because they've thought that it is really that over for them.
We cant really just make things to be that easily be able to resolved it out on point but its not something impossible. So better look up for some ways on doing so
rather than on taking up a suicide.

Sometimes people get addicted in gambling and after heavy losses, then want to restart again. As they already lost everything, he try to take loan or borrow money from friends or relative and assurance them that he'll return their money with profit. But when a gambler ended up losing more again, he can't face anyone even other people will pressure him to return money. That's the reason, a gambler sometime take his life to get rid of those problem.that's why it is necessary to have control in yourself and become so responsible & maintain discipline while gambling. Although I don't have that much courage and I'll never take loan for sake of such uncertain things gambling

Well, it's rather very unfortunate that some people will gamble to this extent where they end up in such a very tight corner in their own rat race, some who have gambled to the extent that he or she lost every penny he or she had, should have know that, borrowing or taking a loan to continue gambling will likely end up in the same way he or she lost his own money, a person does not keep doing the same thing and expect a different result, yeah, in gambling, things are not static, loses are not static, and so also is winnings, but in times when a person is experiencing a constant loses, or going through a long losing streak, besr thing to do is to take a break for a while, don't be overly anxious to gain everything back over night, for this is the trick our emotions plays on us, which most of the time leads to even more loses.

Last year here in my country, a student used his school fee to gamble, and lost it all, not knowing what to tell his parents happened to his school fees, he was determined to get his school fees back, he then collected his friends school fees and also used it to gamble, believing that he would win, and replace his friends school fees, replace his lost shoool fees as well, and also have some change left to keep for himself, but unfortunately, he also lost his friend's school fees as well.
When the whole thing broke out and he was being pressured by his friend to provide his school fees he took, he could bear the shame and pressure, he went and killed himself, this is a young promising 22 year old boy.
Gambling out of control have ruined a lot of lives.

maybe in some developed countries $3K is not that much and is very easy to get, but if you are in a developing country $3k worth of money is very valuable and it is even very difficult to get it even if you have worked for years, but that guy seemed to have lost his mind so he took his life

One should not take any life-threatening decision because of gambling losses. The gambler must remember that life is worth more than money. Maybe 3K or more is too much for some gamblers but it should be remembered that no matter how big the amount of money is, it is not bigger than life. I believe that gamblers who take such suicidal decisions are gambling with emotion which should never be acceptable. A gambler must not equate emotion and gambling. Moreover, it is never advised to bet any amount of money in gambling, which will put the gambler in serious trouble if he loses the money.Not only the person mentioned in this discussion, but there are many gamblers all over the world who, on impulse or due to various pressures, take the decision to lose their lives, which is nothing but a kind of stupidity.

When we do speak about value then it would really be that totally different to each other when we do speak about dollar or equivalent on which you would really be that surely having a hard time even on acquiring it for the rest of your life or even working for several years but still not really that enough on which there would really be those people who would making out those kind of gambling bets on the amount that is something that most people would really be struggling on saving up with.

This is why on the time that we do see those thousands of dollars been gambled out by those whales gamblers then we would really be trying out to reflect those amounts
for us to make use in our daily lives or something that pertains on imagining on where these money is being used from.
We do know that each person does have their own financial capabilities on which there are ones who are really that huge spendor and there are
ones who are really that sensible on their spending with gambling.

This story keep appearing on my timeline during the early time of the suicide so I could not help but I read what really happened, he actually borrowed huge amount of money to stake a bet and he loss so he could not resist the force and frustration. Just imagine paying such huge amount of money but suicide is never an option. He never really had someone to talk to like a family cause I believe his family would have stop the process, why will a grown up man decide to commit suicide because of depression for not winning a bet although with such huge amount he would have respected himself when thinking of taking loan to bet.

Whether you are in a developing country or not, we don't have to commit suicide because made loses in betting. There are people that don't have the luck in gambling and they always incurred loses but that do not mean that we have to keep gambling without using our brain. Once we know we are not always lucky in betting, it's good we become conscious and stay away from getting too frequent because by trying to hard, we might keep seeing loses. Gambling could be a good way to earn fast money but others might be very hard for one to earn from betting which we have to know what area we fall into.

There are really those people who are really that emotional when it comes on dealing up with things on which on the time that they would really be on such extreme conditions on which they are really that suffering too much with stress and into those life conditions or moments on which they've seen that theres no other solution then this is the solution that they do think come up with and this is something which is a normal approach to have by most people. Some would be able to realize but there are those people who do really ends up on having those kind of actions because of too much stress and impulsive emotion on which we know that taking suicide
is never been a solution. It did really just turn out that there are people cant think up well about these stuffs.

Every problem does have its own solution on which if you do find out that you are on a tough situation due to problem then you could always think up on possible or various
solutions on which you could really be able to take so that you would be able to solve out such problem.

Easy to say but if you are already on such condition or situation then you would really be hardly be able to make yourself having that kind of control on which it would really be that a common thing
that there would really be those people who do make suicide just because they've seen it that this one would really be the only solution.Its sad that there are people who do really took their lives
just because of extreme financial problem or issues because of too much gambling. If you do find yourself having that kind of problem since from the start then you shouldn't have made yourself that getting
dealing up with gambling the the first place. In every problem, then there's always a solution - it might be hard but doesnt mean that it would be impossible.

This is only a small part of the many incidents that occur and indeed even if we think that something like this is a ridiculous act but in fact there are not a few who do it.
Gambling if not accompanied by common sense and accompanied by a mature attitude then indeed this is one of the negative effects that occur.
Not a few we see a lot of criminal cases because of gambling such as murder human trafficking used as collateral or even other crimes are proof that in the end gambling can be a terrible thing .All can happen if we are already addicted to gambling and it is clearly not recommended because after all even if we gamble, it does not mean that we are a bad person who does not know anything and even does not know our identity just because of gambling .

No amount that will make me think about that. If I want to be dead, I want it to be the natural way and not because of gambling or some sort of debt that I can't pay.

There are people that can't move on with any amount of debt that they have and it's not just all about the debt but the shame that they've brought to themselves.

And just want to disappear after being known in their hood that he/she has got that much debt and known to be a gambling addict.

Gambling addiction can be frustrating and very frustrating if the player isn't taking his problem seriously. Many cases as this which I've seen from Australian gamblers, resulted from debt. Don't know why the man would take his life for losing money. If he's debt free, it's not a big deal to lose money in gambling. Maybe he needed to multiply his money for business purpose which failed him. However, gamblers shouldn't go as far as spending so much time and money to a stage where they need to pay with their life. Gamblers rarely feel bad about themselves, but the society does because of news such as this, it's quite sad that gambling is always tagged at the end of the story. Making it look obviously bad in the eyes of the society. 

It is indeed difficult if we have never been in a situation experienced by a very frustrated gambler, but from incidents like what we see, we can conclude that the effects of gambling are very dangerous if you are addicted, we can apply this to ourselves so that we don't become dangerous gambling addicts. , stay safe and don't waste too much money in gambling

You cant really be able to say that but its true that no amount should really be something to be talk as your threshold which we know that someone could really be ended up on having that suicide
on the time that you are on such situation then you cant really be sure that you would really be having those kind of thoughts on having those kind of approach.
Just like on what others been saying above that emotion is really the hardest thing that you would really be needing to take control or get a hold with because if you dont
then for sure you would really be ending up on having this kind of thoughts on taking  your own life just because you do seem that this problem doesnt have any solutions anymore.

Yes, a country's economic conditions do affect the value of its currency. In contrast to certain developed nations where it is easy to make a lot of money, emerging countries are difficult to make a lot of money. For this reason, it is important that we assess the circumstances surrounding our current condition. When we are faced with financial hardships, such as having a large debt from gambling or other sources, we may feel hopeless and like there is no way out, to the point where we consider taking our own life under the weight of this burden. It is really unfortunate that people go through that kind of suffering, even if it is their own choice to find themselves in a situation like that.

It is quit unfortunate that he took his life due to lost of gambling, sometimes it's due to pressure or drug I've seen somany cases of such, but it's not the best way to solve such issues. Gambling should played with spear money and not a money ment for investment. Using investment money to play gamble is as a never good. Lets try our best to play safe no matter the conditions we find ourselves.

Those things are exposed when a gambler performs the act of gambling. The person may have borrowed money from various people which he will fail to repay or he cannot bear the human pressure. If a gambler conducts gambling beyond his financial limit then it is natural that he will suffer. But the gambler must exercise caution before collecting money from any source as he may be socially disgraced if he gambles with borrowed or borrowed money which he cannot repay. The more addicted the gambler is, the more he needs to manage his gambling with these factors in mind. I will tell those desperate gamblers that there will be wins and losses in gambling. If you are alive, you can gamble or make money in any way, but if you die, there is no chance to recover. So the gambler must not do anything that has to be redeemed with life.

The serious impact of gambling addiction is very fatal resulting in frustration because they have lost everything and they have very high debts, their lives are very threatened due to many big threats to their lives if they do not pay off their debts immediately, the final decision is to end their lives because they have no safe place to hide from various serious threats. There was very heartbreaking news that a father had decided to hang himself up and leave a message for his wife and twin children still in the womb, he said goodbye because he was very frustrated at his mistake of being involved in gambling.

$3k is developed countries are not even nothing because for those that value money, it's also a lot for them. Those that are really wealthy won't be bothered with this amount.
And for someone who has been into this kind of debt and don't have a means to pay them, it's certainly a problem that he's not able to answer so that's the reaction he thought will solve his problem which just added more problem to his family.

I find that question offending but that's it, there's no amount of money whether in debt or trouble that I should be. Although that feeling of just wanting to disappear is a real thing.

When you think that when you're gone, problems have been solved already but that's not the case.

If you want no trouble and don't want into this situation, all you have to do is to gamble what you can afford to lose.

Its not on the amount of bet that the gambler will chose to suicide, but surely it’s on the amount of losses that ends up with a big debt which made the gambler very desperate and decide to take his own life. People like this should not gamble in the first place because once they cannot managed their frustrations and have no one to share their financial problems, they will end up with a decision that they will regret for the rest of their lives.

Gambling can be beneficial on our part if we see it as a source of fun, and money making is just a bonus. But if you are seeing it on the contrary, that you’ll only get fun if you are on the winning side, which I think majority are doing, is obviously a wrong act when gambling.

I really blame him not for using that huge amount of money but for using a money he can't avoid to lose. Some people bet with money more than that and they move on with life if the game loses. Such people bet with such money because they can avoid it. Imitating people in gambling is wrong because you never know the actual income of the person you are imitating. He's may gamble with $3 but make that $3k just be 5% of his month earnings. While you with the same $3k as your monthly earnings they imitate such person in gambling. You will end up regretting. I just observed recently that it isn't only greediness that make people bet beyond their earnings but also imitation of friends or neighbor as well.

Yeah, it's on the amount that you've loss. Any amount that we bet is fine because it's still on the process but once the result is out and it's a loss, that's the frustrating part.

And what's much worse is on how did you take that money and able to bet such amount that resulted into a loss. That's where emotions come in from every bettor that's hard to accept and deal with.

It's fun, enjoyable and there's some reward when we're lucky on that day. But it's not always lucky day and those gamblers that don't gamble with their own money should be aware of it.

Yes, but it was basically the amount of money that made him end up making the stupid decision of ending his life just because he lost on his own decision. And yes, the main point is that gambling with an amount that you cannot afford to lose is a reckless decision, this can make you end up becoming an impulsive gambler in the sense of doing things out of control because you are unable to hold back your emotions due to the defeat experienced.

Everyone has their own capacity or ability in terms of financial strength, simply put the amount of $1000 is a very large amount for someone who has medium or even poor finances but that amount is an amount that does not really matter to lose if they are basically a rich person or who has good finances in their life, and as you said that it is a wrong decision if you imitate the amount of budget allocated by the rich just because you want to get a large number of wins like the rich get. On the other hand, you have mentioned some scenarios that can make a person go above and beyond their means such as greed and copying the big bets made by others who basically have no idea about the income of the person they are copying and I agree with that.

This also happened in my country some time ago, where a man who was known to be a businessman was found to have committed suicide and was suspected of being in debt after being addicted to slot gambling, I didn't really follow the news further but it was quite unfortunate, and in my opinion the person who committed this act was more to the shame of having ruined his life and not being prepared for the reactions of those closest to him if they found out that he had become an addicted gambler who was ruining his finances.

Gamblers know this for sure but often ignore this fact because they cannot control themselves, especially when they are too controlled by emotions to think clearly.

Suicide has never crossed my mind and in fact people who commit suicide certainly have mental health issues but are not aware of it and people who experience mental health issues will carry out these actions even though the amount of money lost is relatively small, meaning by working hard he will be able to get money with the lost amount, and the sentence to gamble only with money we can afford to lose is true

I was really heartbroken when I saw the story. I believe this story highlights the dangers of gambling addiction. Most times it's really not just about the financial consequences but also the emotional and mental harm it can inflict on its victims. Not only can gambling addiction lead to financial ruin, but also, it can destroy relationships and also lead to feelings of shame and hopelessness. That's why it's very important and crucial for every gambler to be fully aware of the dangers of gambling addiction, perhaps this will aid them to seek for help early whenever they feel they're getting in over their head and look for an early solution before it escalates to a point they can no more control themselves.

Well, let's put things in context. How many of the people who gamble end up committing suicide because of gambling? I don't have data but it has to be a tiny percentage. Like 0,...% with quite a few zeros. This story is tragic but it is far from the norm. And I bet there were other things behind it that we don't know about, because it's very rare to commit suicide because you lost $3.000 even if in your country the purchasing power of that money is higher than in others.

As Don Pedro Dinero said, I also think that there may be other reasons behind the reasons for committing suicide: did he take a loan from dangerous people? was this money needed to pay the rent and feed his family, in a country with no social security at all?

Chances are, on the other hand, that he got so obsessed about the loss that he took such a bad decision, or maybe because of some previous mental illness.

Fortunately, this case is rare, as DPD also said, but so impressive that we keep talking about it, so it seems more common that it is in reality.

of course Thier are lots of fake gambling site out Thier with a majority of other goods one that have also been cloned and something you can get bothered if you're actually using the original site or question the authenticity of the gambling site you're gaming with and i guess this is where he various signature campaign that's on the forum comes in.

Since the forum has longed been known to have distanced itself from scam site it's definitely the best place to look out for good sites you can trust as long as it concerns a good and reliable gambling site. I have personally looked at the different campaigns that's related to gambling and I can guarantee that they are all legit and arnt scams.

What happened to the gambler is very sad to hear. For me, no amount of money lost should ever be a reason to take one's own life. Suicide should never be a solution. It's important to practice responsible gambling habits and seek help if needed, especially if you or someone you know is experiencing problematic behavior.

He couldn't bear to see his suffering anymore so he chose to commit suicide to solve the problem. But he didn't realize how much his family missed him because they never thought he would make that decision. Suicide does not solve problems but will add to other problems.

That's why we shouldn't use too much money to gamble. Especially if we are unable to see the many losses, we should use the money we can afford and be able to accept loss. After all, gambling is not a place to make money and is just for fun.

That is a lesson for all of us that we must really be able to control ourselves when playing gambling. No amount of money can replace a life. Our lives are very precious so we must take good care of them.

I can imagine what he was going through but taking such horrible decision is very foolish of him. People commit suicide with the thought of ending the problem but unknowingly to them, they are just indirectly running away from their responsibilities for their relatives and loved ones to solve. There's a popular saying that if there's life, there's hope. Of course, life will definitely hit you hard sometimes but there is always opportunity to bounce back if you don't give up. It's very possible that very guy would have make more than that amount that he lost if he's still alive but unfortunately he seized all the opportunities by ending his life leaving gross pain behind for the family.

Majority misunderstood gambling as a place to double their money and thereby going extra hard with the amount they stake on the game without realizing that there is no guarantee of return of investment in gambling. The outcome of gambling is either you lose it all or you make some cent. However, the chances of losing is always higher and that's why you are advised to risk affordable amount. If every gamblers can be aware of this, cases like that of story in the Op would be very much rare.

someone ending their life because they lost at gambling is nothing new. there are lots of incidents like this. It's very likely that they didn't just experience big losses when gambling. However, they are more likely to have large debts either to family, close friends, relatives, or even worse, they are trapped in loans.

Sorry to hear about what happened. This is why gambling should be seen as an entertainment and not as a way of solving financial issues or making money. Ga,bling addiction has consequences that can affect not just yourself but also your loved ones. So, if ever you know someone who is struggling with such situation, it's important to see help to overcome such problems and struggles. Always be aware, especially the warning signs like spending more time and money on gamblinh, lying about gambing habit, feeling a need to increase amount of money to gamble, experiencing or feeling irritable and restless when trying to cut down on gambling.

It's true, we don't have exact data on how many lives were lost because of gambling, I mean those who chose the short path of committing suicide after losing from gambling. Maybe you are right that the number should be small like 0. and something lower than that. However, I have my own beliefs as to why that person ultimately decided to commit suicide, because one of them might be that they had other pressures apart from gambling, for example, there were other life problems that other people didn't know about.
However, even the smallest number that makes people commit suicide because of gambling is something that should not happen, it is very unfortunate that it happens even though it may only be done by one person. That's why we shouldn't gamble excessively and without the rules we apply because the risks are very big and it could be our own life if we can't bear all the pressure.
This must be a lesson for us, not just reading and hearing stories but it must be more than that to make us better in carrying out all actions, whatever they are in the life we live.

It's too painful to hear of such,but no amount of loss can result to me ending my life when I know that there are greater opportunities and things to achieve as well,what do you tend to gain after doing so.
I know that he might be thinking he has lost everything but with time he can still acquire those losses and full up but he decided to take his life,it's so pathetic and a lesson to all those that feels or think there's no way after the loss.

Just yesterday a friend of mine also want to commit suicide in respective of such of loosing such amount and the thing is the money wasn't his own,he thinking that he should use it to gamble and will get a double of it but boom everything crashed,no gain and he messaged me that about his decision to take his life.
I went straight to him and talked to him at length and gave him reason to say he can make it again and after which he felt alot better.
So a great loss is not the end of your Life.

I don't know why so many gamblers think that gambling can double their money for them, and they only look at one side without considering, the opposite, which has the higher odds of happening. All these problems are because the gambler in question is too greedy that he thinks he can use other people money to generate money for themselves just like that. Is there any magic like that.

I think that gambling is not good for everybody, especially those people who cannot control their emotions, and allow the outcome of their bet to control their actions. Gambling should be for fun, and entertainment, so that you will not get depressed to the extend of thinking to commit suicide, because if there is nobody around them at that moment, they will kill themselves.

with cases like this, it indicates that gambling should be done just for fun, using money that has already been earmarked to be ready to be lost, with the wrong aim or motive at the start of gambling, of course it will cause other pressures, such as unwillingness. the money at stake is lost or cannot accept the reality with real losses occurring. By gambling excessively, such as placing large bets in the hope of getting a big win but not being aware of the clear side of defeat, of course it will make us depressed by the reality of what happened (defeat). What you say is correct, even if they commit suicide and leave behind debts during their lifetime, of course it will be the responsibility of their family and relatives, because it is impossible for the borrower to consider the debt problem resolved when the main perpetrator who owns the debt has committed suicide. The debt that the main perpetrator still has will clearly be an additional burden for his relatives and family. committing suicide after experiencing a major defeat will not solve all problems, there are still other people who could be concerned. Therefore, as much as possible, we must be able to make the best use of life, gambling is fine as long as it is with money that we are willing to lose, including the amount of the bet, whether small or large, we must be willing to lose it so that there is no mental stress that can destroy everything into chaos.

Indeed, the problem lies in the wrong response to gambling, where they believe that gambling can give them a lot of money or win, but what is clear is that this is certainly not certain, what is certain to happen in gambling is losing. and without them realizing it, responding to gambling incorrectly will only make them feel mentally depressed, such as irritation, which can lead to a grudge against gambling. By not being able to accept the losses that occur, it makes them want to gamble again to recover the losses, and of course if it's like that, I think they are trapped in an addiction cycle which can clearly harm them and destroy them sooner or later. It's true what you said, the end of gambling is winning and losing, winning or losing, but what dominates more is losing and losing, winnings in gambling can be obtained if we are just lucky, while luck cannot be predicted. when it comes, it also doesn't come according to what is expected.

We shouldn't be stereotyping individuals that are struggling with gambling addiction, It's due to the kind of treatment that those seen to be struggling with addiction problems get that they don't open up to people as when they do so they'll be treated differently and very bad. Gambling addiction is a problem that needs those that are close to you to know so they can help you out both financially and emotional as you would have wasted all the money you had gambling.

For those individuals that are suffering from gambling addiction problems, taking your life won't solve any problems as you would have made your family members and loves ones to go through an emotionally crisis due to the way you died and you might turn some that aren't strong to handle your departure to have their own problem that they'll begin to struggle with as drug abuse or gambling addiction too.

Poor guy. Prayers are up for him and his family. It is really sad to see someone take their life just because of gambling. We may say that gambling specifically is not the reason why he killed himself. It might be because of depression, but still, gambling is the root cause of his suffering and why he killed himself. This is the reason that we gamblers should be responsible when gambling. Gamble the money you are willing to lose; not because someone is gambling a lot of money, you should too. 

The said money is a lot; I think it is his savings. Looking at it, he may have grinded it for a long time, and with a leap of faith, he gambled it. Sadly, he loses it. I think that is one of the reasons why he took his life; after all the hard work, he lost it in a short period of time. Or maybe he loaned some of that money and gambled on it. 

Whatever happens, don't kill yourself just because you lose something. There are always second chances in life, and you just need to restart.

          -   Talking about suicide because of losing a large amount of money in gambling is no longer the right and normal thing to do. The only thing that can do this is that he was unable to control himself due to severe depression and stress, which led to suicide being the only solution for him to escape from the big problem he was facing.

So sometimes it is scary to put a gambler at the level of gambling addiction because they are controlled most of the time by their greed in their mind and lack of discipline and control over their emotions.

Life is special, it's important to gamble with what you can afford to lose, taking your own life is what addiction can cause to people that are addicted to gamble and it doesn't makes any sense when you are gambling with what you can not afford to lose. when you follow someone that's gambling with slot of money to casino, you might be intimidated because the amount he's gambling with. The story say that the gambler used his life saving that he struggled to save while he was at work. Addiction should be stop quickly, additional gamblers should stop gambling. Selfcontrol can help gamblers not to gamble for too long in a casino, the more you stay long in the casino the more you get addicted to gamble.

I've gotten passed this amount in my life and that's not the reason why I am going to say what I am about to say.

There is no amount of money that worth a life, your life is worth more than any amount, because billionaires remains billionaire only when they are alive, once you lose your life it's over for everything you ever own. .

Also your life doesn't belong to you, we all borrowed it for max of 100 years, when it's time, everyone will drop their life, to me it's not worth to take someone's life and it's also not worth taking your own life because of money, if this man is still alive today he would have recovered this amount already.

People need to be responsible when they are gambling, this act is an act of irresponsible, you feel easy to make money like it's just a straight up line, you don't think about you losing the money, the amount must have been the max he had in his account, why took such risk? It's sad.

Each person does have their own levels when it comes to emotion tolerance on which there are ones who could really be able to control and there are ones who cant be able to bare out on the time that they are experiencing such extreme stress and huge problems into their lives.This is why we could really be able to see that those people who do took suicide on the time that they are into a condition on which a problem is really just that something that cant be resolved out. Yes, we do know that each problem does have its own solution but on the time that a certain individual would really be able to see that there's no way on getting out on this kind of problem or cant be able to find any solution, then this is where they would be considering on taking up suicide as their last option.

It is really that very wrong on having this kind of option to solve or ran away from all of your problems. This is why on the time that you do deal up with gambling then it would really be always best
that you should really be doing make yourself that not getting addicted to it on which it do comes into a time or moment that you are already experiencing financial problems or issues then
this is where people do usually be thinking up on taking up some suicide on the time that they are experiencing some issues or problems on which its never been right on having these
kind of consideration because its never been worth on killing yourself just because you are running away with debt problems or any problems that you do currently have.

He must have taken life too serious, some people believe that failure is the end of life or it's the means to end one's life, I call such people idiots, because life is more valuable than money, if you are in a situation where sacrificing your own life is the solution then it must be a worthy one, not because of some money.

I feel sorry for him and his family, I just wish that someone talk to these people before they take their lives, it's not making sense, that amount is even so ridiculous for taking his own life.

Funny thing is he could have talked to someone and they won't care, some people will even hope he kill himself or commit suicide, it's a scary world we are living in now, people only care for themselves only. Rest on gentle soul.

This is why it would really be that important that if you do find yourself that being impulsive in the first place and if you are someone who doesnt really like or wants to lose money
then you should have directly be avoiding gambling in the first place. Dont touch up on things on which you cant be able to bare up when it comes into its risks because once you wont really be able
to handle up yourself then this is where these suicidal thoughts would really be kicking in and this is where you should really be considering yourself on stopping on whatever things that you've been dealing.
Just like on what you have said that if you dont like on losing money then dont gamble. People usually mess up their finances just because they do have those kind of unrealistic
thoughts into their minds on which it would really be resulting that you would really be having those desperate moves on which it isnt a must thing to be done in the first place.

You value life and anyone who value life are not moves by money or any materialistic things. But the guy is definitely dealing with other fears and depression which he must haven't share with anyone and then end it all when he loss everything. I even read somewhere he borrowed an additional money to his own to bet, didn't know what he was trying to achieve but it's better for him to use the money to buy food and eat, sleep and get querry by the lender of the money than do gambling and ended it all.

Those days when you only see middle age people worry of depression but Depression today is a real problem among the youths and adolescent people who are supposed to be facing higer education, skills, and other things that will be beneficial but they will rather watch Drake that has struggled his life to get where he is today but they want to be like him when they don't even have the means, this is where gambling comes from some people.

He is also battling with the shame of what people would say concerning the money he borrowed for gambling. Some people are not bold enough to face life situations which makes them think about suicide each time they face a challenging situation. He contributed to his problem if he indeed borrowed money to gamble. His gambling addiction was aggressive which made him lose his sense of reasoning. I also feel sorry for the creditor because he has also lost the money he graciously lent to the deceased.

Social media has contributed a lot to the problems most youths are having. The youths are now closer to their funds and online peers than their parents. Some of them prefer to take advice from social media instead of seeking counsel from parents and other experienced adults. They are also influenced by celebrities or brand ambassadors that they meet on social media.

Right, I agree to this, because usually the inability to accept the fact of losing is always a big problem for gamblers and this is a common problem that is always felt and experienced by most gamblers where they end up with a much worse situation when they are unable to account for the fact of losing but they are still involved in gambling, And obviously if you don't like losing then the only solution is that you shouldn't know gambling at all or if you're too late and already involved then maybe the options are to become a responsible gambler by having a good approach and also always putting an amount that doesn't matter if you lose, or you quit gambling.

On the other hand it seems that people who make careless or even stupid decisions such as suicide due to losing are those who have a personality that is easily provoked or easily emotional or provoked so that when unwanted things happen such as dominating defeat which creates tension and pressure makes them in a situation of despair and unbearable frustration which in the end they decide to commit suicide. However, healthy gambling is when you act in accordance with your abilities and that means you should be able to treat gambling only as an activity to fill your spare time when you are bored to get entertainment, and obviously something that is only for entertainment should not be done with seriousness let alone with hope, it is too dangerous.

More gamblers are passing through difficulties in life. More often, we should our best to check up on most of colleagues that are gamblers, because losses are the major cause of this problem. Many have acknowledged this incident, for instance using money meant for expanding one's business, food stuffs or house rents, been used for gambling, at the end of the day, there's absolutely nothing too promising other than them having ruined moments in the space. There are a whole lot of funny thing in the system, there are major setbacks that keeps happening, a gambler will planning for elite results and at the end of the day, he ends up disappointed. Failing is fine by me but its a major setback which should be our driving force to ascertain good heights in the system.

There are tons of ways for you to check out on how people do end up.

1. You could search on internet into those people who have destroyed their lives or even killed themselves because of gambling addiction.
2. You could be able to check out with those people whom you do know with and involved with gambling, which you could compare out their lives now and before knowing gambling.
3. Use of your own self awareness and common sense on whats happening around.

You wont really be that making yourself putting up on such tough situation if you are really just that sensible on the things that  you've been doing or you're been wary.
You would really be ending up on taking up a suicide if you have lost everything. Gambling could make it happen and this is why it would really be always best that you should
really know on what you are doing. Dont get yourself being blinded with greed because if you do then it would really be a sad story for you to end up.
Gambling addiction is something that cant be solved out so easily.

Numerous things that the news or story didn't tell about the victim regarding the major reason why he did go that extent of committing suicide after such a massive loss, one of the reasons that could have cause this is if the victim took a loan to risk on this bet and unfortunately lost it all, now may have thought of a way to pay back and realizing that there is no hope of getting another money to pay back or some can take loses too extreme that he could not bear the loss, but however there's no amount of reason that worth taking your life when you lose heavily. This is why it is very important to stick to what you can afford to lose, else this victim wouldn't have taken his life.

That's probably the case. The gambler has seen no chance to recover after sacrificing everything he has and losing it all in gambling. Sometimes, a person can't take it once they lose everything as they have bet all they have on that. During this time, there should be someone they can talk to, to avoid making them think that ending their life will end everything. They should always think positively and have a thinking of being able to recover even after they lost everything.

This life comes with its own struggles, there's absolutely no rest in this world. Well, I understand from the angle you're moving and I must say, it's well deserved points clearly stated out. Most of these gamblers have no time to settle for lesser results but the ones they're facing should be winning and not losing. Remember losses breaks down gambler's mental health, causing them to think other things such as selling their properties to gamble, because most of them do triggered the borrow money option simply because they have strong faith when it comes to gambling.

We talk about it because it still happens, which is alarming but it's worth the share, so that others might not follow that path. The guy is weak, for him to not control his emotions. I know depression and stress are real and not a joke, and many of us are also experiencing it but many of us can still survive it and it is now a common thing for us, though if only he didn't risk huge amounts, maybe he is still here.

Suicide is not the best solution and you will only look like a coward if you want to escape your problem, especially if you are a man. We don't put a gambler at the level of gambling addiction but those gamblers put their selves that way, however it didn't come in an instant but there is a process for it.

Actually there are several good reasons to answer problem like this, not just about borrowing money and spending it on gambling but because of experiencing series of losses and recovering from the losses by gambling crazier until all the wealth is gone.
Many gamblers have lost half of their total wealth just because of mistakes in making decisions in gambling, even more have actually fallen into poverty and no longer have any wealth.
Borrowing money is only the last option that they do when they really don't have any money at all, there is goal and mindset that is to continue gambling and succeed in winning big but this is an ambiguous mindset.
They only think about what they can get by trying to get big win but they don't think about the risks and consequences that must be accepted for the decisions they have taken.

Cases like this are actually very unfortunate because someone feels hopeless or frustrated with themselves so they do something stupid and decide to end their life.
This is an example of the attitudes and thoughts of people who are irresponsible and do not have true sense of identity.

When someone loses in gambling, it has a negative effect on his mind, many people can control it, while those who invest extra money in gambling, which they cannot afford to lose, suffer a lot and lose control over themselves and hesitate to make wrong decisions.  does not  Gambling is a very bad addiction so it should always be used in a limited way.  And if someone panics and starts gambling then he will have to face a very difficult situation at some point

I'm sure there is some of the history we don't know. There are many people who gamble and many people who lose amounts of money they could not afford, but they do not take their own lives. Without knowing the specific details of this case, when one takes one's life it is not only because of a specific event like this one, it is usually a combination of several factors, such as a disappointment in love, having been fired from a job and seeing no future, a complicated family situation and things like that.

The news story says he took his own life after losing that $3K, but just because one thing happens after the other doesn't mean the former is the cause of the latter. Correlation does not imply causation.

Usually people who gamble lose money after gambling then they have very little control over themselves because they think that I have to recover the money that I lost by gambling. Losing money one after another. But those who have this control are in their hands. Once he loses money by gambling, if he realizes that I have lost a lot of money by gambling, I will not gamble again. Of course, that is a good thing. He has control over himself and those who  I have no control over myself, so addicted, I am losing money every day, but their addiction is ruining their lives. Gamblers who lose money by gambling make their family suffer their money, so it is not right to gamble because of excessive gambling addiction.

Man, there's really no metric or standard for how heavy something is when it comes to mental health because for me, that kind of debt isn't a reason to say goodbye to this cruel world but then again we're not all the same or equal in terms of tolerance to life, some of us just can't take it anymore. The reason why the media did the cutting of some parts is because they want to make it appear like there's something wrong with someone and that they want to push a narrative that antagonizes mental health awareness, that's why it's always a good idea to check out stories regards to a particular article, you don't know if they're cutting out some parts in that story to fit a narrative, mainstream media isn't something we can't trust anymore.

To everyone out there that's having mental health problems, make sure to seek professional help or at the least tell what you're feeling to someone that you love or a friend, an ear that you can vent your problems too is definitely a helpful thing so sekk it out and even if you feel like there's no hope at the end of the tunnel, there definitely is, you're probably just too far away to actually see it.

Therefore, in my opinion, what must be emphasized is our readiness with things that will happen with certainty, defeat and loss of money in the sidelines are definitely happening, so before gambling we should be ready with the loss of money that will definitely happen, allocating a sum of money It is willing to miss it must, because indeed most of the gamblers who are addicted are because they are not ready with the reality that occurs (defeat). Now if we can accept facts with a clear defeat that can happen, maybe we will not be addicted to gambling. they should be able to accept the defeat that occurred, because by not being able to accept their defeat it is likely to make them gamble again in the hope of recovering the losses that occur, but in my opinion when losing gambling and gambling again and get victory, it can't even Guaranteeing to attract victory, because it is possible to have other thoughts like this maybe this is a sustainable luck so it still continues gambling despite having won, because he thinks with still being able to get a greater victory. And most likely all will be lost again and disappointed and disappointed to trigger uncontrolled emotions and re -gambling with the same motive, continue like that until it becomes an impulsive action and eventually becomes addicted to gambling.

When it is addicted to gambling, it will be difficult to recover, leaving gambling becomes difficult, they will continue to gamble even though they don't have money, by doing various ways to be able to make money and use it again in gambling. So there is a possibility that someone who has been addicted to take actions that can harm others, or make loans. Even if it succeeds in making a loan money obtained is also likely to be re -used for gambling. With the end that is certain it will make them upset, someone who already has a lot of debt may be stressed and may end his life by committing suicide, but this does not solve everything, I think there is a family who must be responsible for all the debts they have. It is also impossible for the borrower to forgive him.

This is what's going to happen if you use the money that you can't live without in gambling. Having regrets for not being able to accept the result that can turn to depression if the gambler take it seriously. Suicide is not the solution if you're in such situation (not just in gambling but all problems that seems hard to resolve). The reason why don't try to gamble if you're not prepared for the worse because gambling is a game of luck and chances to lose your money is very high.

Many gamblers (especially newbies) think that gambling is the answer to earn money in snap because it seems easy. But that's not how it works since you can't profit if you're not lucky. Before playing, exert an effort to research because gambling is not for people who can't handle the worse that can happen if you lose your money.

You're right,in my own opinion the reason why some people end up killing themself all in the name of gambling is because, probably if you place a bet and the potential wining is 16m as the case may be.maybe is just remaining only one game for you to win the 16m,and you went for cash out and they showed you a cash out of 9m, and you refuse not  to cash the game out, hoping that the remaining one will play unlike the way you expected.on the contrary the remaining game failed what will become of you?that is the reason why some people end up killing themself,some people end up commiting suicide.

The fact is that some players do not want to realize that they will ultimately lose when they start playing. They are too self-confident, I noticed this a long time ago, they think that they will be lucky and they are the chosen ones, I would even call these elements of narcissistic behavior. You need to perceive reality more adequately and understand that there is a high probability of losing and no one will be responsible or responsible for the player who is playing. Generally speaking, they simply cannot stand and accept the fact of losing. In my opinion, this is at least not serious. If someone knows himself well and the characteristics of his character, then it is better simply not to make such bets.

Even many think gambling is free money but still its risky and all can't hold this all with I personally have many times incidents like these while we check peoples have heart-attack or other serious problems due to big loses in gambling because they were over-confident about their win and at the end they lost big amount which hurt them badly.
In this case we have same thing he was sure about the win but at the end having lost, and then he committed this which is another dilemma for the rest of family and community just because of this we want some better things about this all because without guides we can lose and also can go through for the worst ever things which are surely never been good deal for any person.

Gamblers can't control themselves when they lose, so they become addicted to winning and focus on gambling again and again, causing them to lose money. Many people may think that they will earn money overnight by gambling but this is not the case. If luck favors many, of course they can earn money by gambling. By living, the thought of making money by gambling should be removed and everyone should be against gambling, so that the society and family will be better.

Actually this is not the one news we will find a lot of news like this in every year. I have read one article that there mention that 17% gambler addicted gambler have attempt sui*cide. Even then in my neighbourhood I saw kind of same thing of this news. There the addicted gambler also take his life because he got into a large debts and he knows that he can afford that and that is why he also attempted suici*de. That's why I always suggest that take a look about your afford then go for gambling as much as you can afford to loose.

No matter how the case may be,I don't see enough reason to why someone should end his life. Although it is challenging sometimes when we play gamble with huge amount of money and yet the game does play. But ending ones life is neither the solution to it. Life is so precious to die for gambling, let us not play gamble and forget that we can do without gambling. It is a painful expirenced we should not try. I am so angry seing this image, because it look so fake to be real. but the sad truth is that he has passed on. What a world where people don't know what they want or the reason behind their existence. We should be more careful in staking what we can't afford to lose. And this is just the typical example.

$3k is quite a lot of money but I don’t think that it is enough for someone to take their life. Are we sure that the money was actually his? Could it be that he couldn’t face the owner of the money? If I lost my money, even if it was my last $100k I wouldn’t hurt myself because it’s my money and I don’t have to start paying back.

Anyway, it is sad that he couldn’t even bear the loss yet he gambled. I wish that people would be less greedy and if you must be greedy, be ready to lose the money. It’s a gamble for goodness sake! What was he expecting?!

You and I have watched folks bet their hearts out just to have them symbolically ripped out. Sorry, no metaphors. Suppose they have an empty bag. Gambling confidence is like thinking you can outwit a shark. You cant. Its their territory. And the house? The house is the biggest shark. When they lose, people look like deer in the headlights. Its cruel.

Remember the true victims: the families and communities left to rebuild. The gambler loses, as does everyone else. Indeed, without guidance and a good strategy, the risks arent worth it. fThe answer? Knowledge, awareness, and possibly self-control. Making better choices, knowing when to fold, and recognizing that the only safe bet is not betting is key. How's that for reality?

Losing is a bad feeling, people react to it differently and it depends on how big the loss is and how much it meant to the person Losing it.

I feel bad for the family and close people of this person,  it is very difficult to lose someone close to suicide. We can't blame anyone for committing suicide because we don't really know what are the true reasons that pushed them to do such act. Now $3k is a big number it could've meant a lot to him as well.
We known that Gamblers can do crazy things when they lose especially when the losses keeps coming consecutively, this person might have reacted in a moment of rage leading him to put an end to his own life.
 It is very sad and unfortunate, life is worth more than $3k to be honest. This could be a lesson for other gamblers to be more aware of their own actions and learn how to control themselves in moments like this, and especially to learn how to gamble and to never put an amount of money in betting that you can't afford losing.

Maybe he is just one example that has come to the surface after dozens and even hundreds of people who have done the same thing, nowadays most gamblers choose the suicide option not because they lose, but if we explore their motives further then maybe debt is their main reason commit suicide.

The potential for debt due to gambling can honestly be a bigger factor and not only burdens yourself but sometimes the family also has a bad impact, as in happen in my friend, chronologically he only owed someone $100 on New Year Eve only for play cards with some friends and it turns out he forgot to pay the debt within the specified time limit, so in the end his debt, which was originally $100, actually increased to reach $500 due to the interest on the debt, even though when he owed the debt there was no agreement regarding the interest on the debt and of course he didn't have enough money to pay it and kept asking for time so making his debts get bigger, after he kept getting threats because he couldn't pay and he started to look depressed by looking gloomy and kept locking himself in his room, which aroused suspicion from his family so they were able to prevent him from doing to suicide and told everything to his family, until finally his family sold their only motorbike to pay their son debt.
From this experience I started to think that gambling actually causes a lot of problems noy just for us but also for our families.

Possibly since not all suicide is documented properly because some family wants to hide the fact if the reason of death is suicide more importantly it involves gambling. In our country culture, this will give shame to family reputation that’s why members always secret this information to the public.


Gambling is not the only one to blame because it’s just a game that involves money if you think about it carefully. It doesn’t force you to play to make you addicted. Only the human nature greediness makes it worse and blame all to gambling while they should be the one to be blame because they control their funds not the casino.

There are two possibilities why such a situation could occur to gamblers. he was under stress and depression. He may be also under the influence of drugs that increase adrenaline or have hallucinations. That's what makes him think of a losing streak which makes him even more stressed.
or perhaps secondly, the gambler is also under stress from the money he lost from the bet. There is also the possibility that the money is the result of borrowing and he becomes depressed because he cannot return the money so losing makes the gambler very depressed.

What is certain is that there is panic and the gambler's inability to think rationally which makes the gambler take bad actions.

On the contrary, I believe your life is yours. If it doesn’t belong to you, who then do we “borrow” life from?
It’s our lives and like all living thing, we’re all going to die someday. Although, I agree with you that taking one’s life due to irresponsible actions and choices made is not cool. If the individual here was alive, there was always a possibility that he would bounce back from the loss.

People do need to be more responsible. You made a mistake? own up to it and learn from it so it doesn’t happen again. Taking your life over losses incurred is not reasonable to me.

Loads of factors may have caused the deceased person to forcefully end his life journey. Gambling is one of those factor and people will definitely stress it only on his gambling habit. They forget to note that most often we can't for sure detect the reason why a person took their life, as the person isn't here to clarify his action. Accepting that gambling caused it, then loan could be a major reason why he decided to move away from this big blue marble. Gamblers are more vulnerable in life, especially when addicted, the stigma, loss of money, unaccounted expenses etc., affects the thoughts of a gambler. And he could think life is getting difficult each day. Lots of cases has proven that gamblers decide to avoid their homes, or family for the same stigma placed on them by the society.

If the deceased person opened up to his wife, if he had one, they would be a change about his thoughts. As I was thinking yesterday, you'd hardly know when a person is about to take the worst decision of their life. They seem to appear happier than everyone in the room, that nobody will detect they are undergoing a hard time. Hence, it's very acknowledgeable to ask a friend about their life, and make offers to them if we have one, it can help saving the person. Facial appearance makes no difference, whether a person is so happy or not, walking up to them and establishing a healthy conversation can help change their mind from embarking on their ill decision.

We have to appreciate that Andie likes to lose, just because there are people who take things very Carefully , but in casinos it's Okay to lose, just like in trading, but the important thing about this is that both in casinos and in In any Market one can Recover , there are always no opportunities, that is a lie that everything ends when we make a mistake , no , it can end if and only if we Decide to leave it that way, for that Reason we are always going to see things from one point. From the closest point of view that they can be done wrong, I have always said it , if we Always look for profit and profit, we can spend a lot of money for a long time and some people Become Decapitated , the Problem is When the money runs out and the person begins with his deprivation to do anything , let them sell things and Start doing Whatever it takes so that they can have the Option of Being more comfortable to have more money , they think that by Selling the things and having that Money they will be Able to Recover , and this is Only the worst that Can exist.

I'm not one to look for these jobs , if the money runs Out , the game Ends there , you Don't have to insist Anymore , you just have to see things from the closest point of view, that things have to be done very well , I could say that when a Person no longer knows what to ask for , to use the bank to ask for money , when a person Reaches that limit that is when the Pressure , Stress and Everything that can be generated due to this and that is When everything accumulates and begins to generate more losses, more bad things, the person becomes desperate because they want to play , they want to pay but they can't, then their mind cannot Find Solutions , some people are already begging on the street and even many when they don't have There is nothing they can do but they try against their own life , which is why we have seen that many Commit Suicide, or because they Cannot handle so much , they feel that life no Longer has a Solution.

Suicide is not just an act of irresponsibility for one's actions, but is stupidity that does not have strong faith and is easy to act or act beyond reason without thinking long.
People who commit suicide because they feel tired of very serious circumstances, including financial problems. Gambling is related to money, losing everything so that there is nothing left or important money and also the amount of money borrowed is so large that it makes it difficult for someone to think long and committing suicide is the best way.
If he calms down and tries to get closer to his God, there will definitely be a way out even though there are risks that must be faced. Without doing ridiculous things like suicide which the creator hates, and that will only make him suffer in two different realms.

Are you for real? If this is the main reason why people commit suicide then we would have a lot of corpses on the street, so I strongly disagree with you. What you just narrated is happening always to gamblers, but have they killed themselves for it? C'mon. Just as it is happening outside gambling that people could commit suicide because of meaningless issues, it can't be different in gambling that has to deal with money. Not to mention that some people would experience the worst in life, yet they will not kill themselves. Drawing wisdom out of this, don't you think there is more to the two? The reasons I can think of are a weak mind and depression. Those who have weak minds are the ones who would even think of suicide when they are depressed. Everyone can be depressed, I have had depression many times, but it takes how we manage it to determine what would result from it. That is where a strong mind is important, No matter the situation, it doesn't warrant you to kill yourself, life goes on, and the situation that one kills himself for is the same situation that another underwent and survives and even later witnessed the "light after the tunnel."

Once a gambler takes note of these two factors (depression and the mind) and is careful about them, then nothing would ever cause them to think about ending it. Besides, we should be careful about gambling, it is never a must that we wager a huge amount of money, and it is best that we plan our budget and gambling portfolio even before we visit the casinos or open the gambling platform. Imagine the example you gave, is 9m not good enough? This would have been much bigger than the money wagered, so why not be contented and leave the rest risk for another day? I only see greed and foolish risk here.

Similarly, I saved someone last month when the person wagered $100 and expected to win $1500 in total. The temptation was that the bet had a sure cashout of $1113. Thankfully, the lady actually yielded to my advice of cashing out and thanked me later. If she had not cashed out at that time, a single game would have spoiled the ticket. We should be wise.

Its a stupid action on which you are trying out to resolve your problems via taking suicide without even thinking about on the things that you have left behind. Dont ever make yourself that think that your family
could get away from it from the loans that you had left out on the time that you do passed away? You are just an idiot on exchanging up your precious life just for some amounts of money. Its never been worth
or never been that something ideal to be done. In every problem do comes up with a solution, it is really just that there are people who do really easily give up once they do face up some challenges in life.
You would really be finding yourself having that suicide on the time that you dont find up any solutions or you are a type of person who is really that impulsive and doesnt find up any
ways or methods on solving out your problems.

I agree on what you have said on which there a re really people who are really that too soft or really that too emotional once they are on such difficult situation then
they would really be thinking on killing themselves or having suicide to cut it off everything and solve it out. Just like on what you have said that you are leaving a huge problem into your family on the debt problems you do have specially if you have left a significant amount of debt then that would surely be giving that additional problem.Just been said that its not worth on killing yourself
just because of some money problems. It might not be easy but doesnt mean that it cant be solved out. You could be able to have some borrowing into your friends or loved ones
on trying to solve out the problem.

If you dont like to have those debt problems from the start then it would be wise that you should be avoiding gambling in the first place so that you wont
be coming up into a condition or situation on which you are suffering that mental and emotional stress which might lead into suicide.

In my opinion, those who commit suicide not because of gambling are also essentially the same because of depression, because depression can of course lead us to do crazy things, such as committing suicide, where when we are depressed what will happen is mood disorders, emotional conditions prolonged period of time that colors a person's thinking, feeling and behavior processes. and this tends to lead us to do things of negative value. I agree with you, we should be able to learn lessons from things that happen due to our own actions. if we really have good thoughts, of course we can take lessons and lessons from things that have happened, but with those who are depressed because of events that stress them mentally and make them do negative things, it may be true that because their thinking is weak, they cannot accept the reality is that the pressure they get is so heavy that it ends them at the point where they want to end their lives. and adding that gambling is related to money and certain losses, of course if we are not prepared to lose money then that will also be a problem for us, so if we gamble, we must be prepared to lose the money we bet. Don't let unpreparedness lead us into bad things.

people who gamble with an unclear mind, of course they will gamble with carelessness, it is possible that they will dare to take very risky actions, indeed if we want something that might be said to be successful we have to be brave enough to take risks, but even so, look at things first. what happens, and whether or not we are ready for what will happen if we take risky actions,  if we are not ready then it's best not to be careless, I found many gamblers who experienced big losses apart from money because they were careless and thought too much about gambling. trivial. I agree with you, we have to be wise in taking actions, not just gambling, we have to be smart in everything we do.

It's very sad that anyone should choose to end their own life, especially in what some might call their prime year's. However there are all sorts of motivation and emotions in life, some people are able to keep a grip on them, while it becomes too overwhelming for others. Greed in this scenario was a very dangerous driver and the ultimate source of this person's misery, but it was self made. He was trying to take a shortcut and unfortunately it did not pay off for him, but would he even have stopped if he did manage to double up? What would be enough?

Only a greedy person will see a cashout worth 9m and will not take it. One of the problems we have as gamblers is greed. Imagine doing a business and getting 9m or imagine staking a game with the potential outcome of 9m. When we gamble with so much expectation it becomes easier to harm ourselves or others if the expectation doesn’t manifest. The story of a gambler committing suicide is not new to us and I keep asking why a person takes his life because of losing in gambling.

In my opinion, maybe the money the businessman used for gambling was a loan and the shock of paying huge debt with interest might have triggered such an irrational thought. This accounts for one of the reasons we have always advocated for setting a gambling limit sometimes not setting a gambling limit does not only result in financial ruin, it can trigger the gambler into committing suicide or even consuming hard drugs as an escape mechanism.

Totally sad because we do know that its never been worth on killing up yourself just for debts or money. Yes, its not simple to say because we arent on the situation but on the time that you would really
be on such condition then you might be having those kind of thoughts! There are really just that people who are really that not able to control their emotions and this is why 
they do come up with this kind of solution on which they do really believe that they could be able to make out such solution in all of their problems if they would really be taking suicide.
It is really that a very sad story because just like we do all know that there are people who are really that too easy to make out decisions.

Life is precious than money so this is an important reminder that being an irresponsible gambler can even afford to kill yourself without even thinking twice. 2.5M Naira is $1,630 here in my country and that really is big amount of money being lost through gambling but that doesn't mean you are gonna kill yourself because you lose it. I don't know why he do that maybe that money comes from loan or hard earned money or what but yeah what has happened to him serves as a lesson to all gamblers to put limits and be responsible. May he rest in peace!

Actually, it's hard to give an opinion when something like this has happened and there is suicide and death involved, but maybe that person had something else to go through so he did something he shouldn't have done. It's easy to say that it's just money, it can be earned again, but we're not sure if that person can recover what he lost? because if the answer is yes, I don't think it will reach the point where he can commit suicide, or maybe the person is mentally unstable. This kind of incident should teach other people a lesson so that it doesn't happen again.

We should really be that wary that not all the times that it isnt really that just we do have a single problem. If ever that someone do took some suicide then we dont know on what he had actually
have some other problems in life and this is something personal and this is something that cant be known. This is why we cant really be able to judge that he doesnt have any problems
aside from gambling addiction and debt. This is why we cant really drawn out some conclusions whether he didnt experience any depression and this is why it would really be that just normal
that we would really be having those assumptions and possible reason on real on why he have done that. Yes, life is more precious that money but i do agree into those points above that
when you are on the condition or foot of the said person then you cant really be able to tell yourself that you wont really be taking suicide. Problems could be determined on how
severe it is.

Suicide is serious and deserves more attention. Understanding the intricate relationship between mental health, societal constraints, and resilience is more than mood disorders or emotional conditions. Depression is a scar from fighting invisible enemies, not weakness. Gambling, especially done recklessly, might worsen these problems

All gamblers don't despair, and not all despairers gamble. The key? Be aware and ready. One must understand the stakes, risks, and consequences. Understanding the game's nature is more important than dreading losing. For individuals struggling with gambling or other stressors, remember that strength comes from getting help, not isolation

In no case do I want to judge this unfortunate person with a difficult fate. In this I agree with you that we do not know much about him. In addition to the game, there could be 1000 reasons that pushed him to what happened. Of course, each of us has our own difficulties in life that we must overcome, otherwise they will break us.

Also, many should think that this can happen and should not think that everything in games is fun and carefree. Luck may turn in such a way that this will become a real test for us that we have never seen before this moment. In general, I still prefer to play very carefully and with small bets, and in no case do I try to win back under any circumstances, because I have previously experienced negative feelings about this and do not want them to repeat.

I of course don't want to judge the specific person who took his own life because of gambling but I want once again to re emphasize the importance to keep believing in yourself no matter how difficult or impossible the solution one have to remember that times heal everything and everything can be recovered with desire to turn things around and strong self will to do so.The people who commit suicide I don't know what they think but that is never the solution to any problem you may have.

When the gambler lend beyond his limitation, he becomes so depressed that he can't think straight. At one point he became depressed and became terribly angry with his personal life and chose to commit suicide. There are some people who cannot tolerate being hurt by others in their personal life. Those emotional people do things on the basis of their emotions which are very abominable. We consider gambling as one of the means of spending our leisure time where a gambler enjoys it. But if one endangers his own life because of this gambling it is never desirable. Gamblers must be mindful of their personal lives. Conducting unregulated gambling may lead to an increase in untoward incidents. Besides, there must be a limit for those who gamble emotionally.

That's why no one should take gambling as a part of income or as serious. if they are not able to control themself then they will mostly suffer a lot and in the some point they can start taking loan and When they are faced with huge loans and they lose the ability to repay them, they will choose suicide. so one should not be emotional in a place like gambling. then it can lead to their death. gambling is very dangerous for them who get addicted on it. but who take gambling as a fun purpose they can enjoy

It was obvious he did kill himself because he lost his gamble. This I believe happened as a result of his irresponsible gambling lifestyle. Possibly, he might have gambled with a loan he secured for business thinking he would cash out through the game he played but it did not end well as he planned as he  possibly left with nothing to cover up the lapses.  I believe the thought of fear and how to pay back led him to cover this .

That amount in question is not too big but to him it might be a big asset which he has already put in mind to use for establishment and it went south which he could not bear the lose and resorted to taking his life. I wish he had realised  earlier  that gambling does not guarantee him winning at his own will then.he would not have made such a mistake that resulted in him taking his life.

Besides of the reckless gambling, in my opinion those who choose to attempt against their own life are very likely to be suffering from a very serious mental health issue. I also try not to judge the situation which those people could have gone through in the first place, but that amount of money is no reason even consider to end ones existence in any way, shape or form.

I wonder whether there could be a way to make people who suffer from mental difficulties or do not have a good mental health to stay away from gambling, you know, it could help to decrease the amount of sad cases we all read about on social media and on the internet in general. All of us are supposed to be free to take our own choices own whether what to consume or what to do with our own money, but there must be a way for discourage unstable people to play around with their savings and thrus decreasing the percentage of suicidal gamblers in the ecosystem. It is a very complex debate between those in favor of freedom and those in favor of health.

I do feel bad whenever I see people commot suicide, no matter the condition which you are, suicide is not always an option, any amount which you lose from gamble, if you stop gambling and you focus on your job, then you will be able to recover, if you commit suicide, then you will put your family and your loved once in pain, no matter the condition which you are, their is always a way out, so pls no matter what we are facing, commit suicide should be the last thing which you should do.

People like this are the once that makes people in the society think that gambling is a bad activity, why do you have to loan to gamble, and why do you have to commit suicide after mistake like this have happened, the best thing is to learn from mistake and never allow similar thing to happen again, instead of commit suicide. Anybody that hears that he committed suicide because of his gambling loss, will automatically see gambling as a bad activity.

maybe because they respond wrongly to gambling and cannot accept the reality of losses that will definitely occur. so when they lose they have a grudge to want to reverse the losses that have occurred and by gambling again that is their choice, but because they cannot accept defeat by gambling again, it is likely to end in losing again and their hearts cannot accept it which in the end they are on their own. experiencing their own problems with gambling which may become more serious so that impulsive actions occur and continue like that until everything goes wrong. wrong thinking can lead to serious problems, and wrongly responding to the final results of gambling can have fatal consequences. and not only with losses, if we can't handle gambling well when we win, maybe it could be a big problem, like the desire to win more, everyone definitely wants more wins, especially money or profit, everyone definitely wants it so there is a possibility that greed can also get the better of them. where this greed can lead them to something that carries big risks, such as continuing gambling by increasing the number of bets, which will most likely cause the winnings that have been obtained to be lost again and the losses that occur will make people feel confused, irritated, angry, disappointed, and even vengeful too. maybe there is.

What you say is true, whether we win or lose we must be able to respond well, be aware of the risks and consequences of gambling. In my opinion, most gamblers experience big losses or experience stress because they are not aware of the risks and consequences that exist in gambling, because they only think about winning in every gamble they make. Few people can gamble healthily, because the temptation of gambling is very strong. So many people are lulled into gambling which leads to depression and big problems. However, this happened because of one's own actions, which was wrong in responding and treating gambling incorrectly, gambling excessively but oneself was not prepared for the fact that it was definitely his fault that would happen.

This is what greed do cause, it makes one to carry out some actions without considering if the result turns the other way round, if we will be able to accept it. If a lot of gamblers think about losing the game and how will that lost affect their lives negatively, I believe that many of them will not use a certain amount of money to gamble.

The deceased gambler like you said was looking for a way to double the money, because he thinks that gambling is a get rich quick scheme. Unknown to him that gamble is a means of entertainment, and he used the money that he cannot afford to lose to gamble. So sad that he didn't have anyone around him to talk some sense to him, maybe he might not have committed suicide.

 But I wonder why should someone take his own life  just because he lost  #2.5 million to gambling an amount  equivalent to just about $3k

Bro it is not about the money I believe is more than that that is why we need to take control our gambling habit because things can be real. In the lowest point of life people can kill other people just because of food I believe.

But yeah this is crazy suicide isn't the answer really, if you guys addicted please just look for help not suicide

You can not be able to detect an unstable person at first engagement. It takes a deep thought upon first interaction to note an unstable person
 At the casino, there are lots of people coming in and going out as well so you never can tell who is who as a result of the environment being filled up with gamblers of all kinds and besides that, the casino can not really tell if someone is unstable but rather they are just after their money without being observant.

The only people that could stop a mentally unstable or deranged person from gambling is their family and loved ones who knows their state of mind. No outsider can be able to note that because they are not close to the gambler. Have you not had this experience where you meet with someone for the first time and you could not observe the person properly but as time goes on for the time you have been with the person, you begin to see the other side of the person which you never thought of. That is how the situation is. So casinos can not be able to detect such and even if they do, they would not say anything because everyone has the right to associate and not only that, it is a business venture so they would want to collect money there by ignoring what ever they have seen.

I hard that, in the last African football tournaments alot of people died from various reasons, one of such may not be far from this story as losing alot more than you can afford may lead to such incident and i ask again why should someone bet all his business money on a bet that you are not certain of it outcome, i think those who act that way are either addicted or misinformed about what gambling is and how to handle it tension.
Other reason why people dies suddenly during games is heart attack,  this could be as a result of having underlying health challenges before viewing a highly intention match such as if the country is playing,  many people lost their life from this incident in the last AFCON game in my country.

I am aware of it, realistically it is obvious casinos do not have the resources nor the motivation to somehow invest money into keeping mentally unstable people away from gambling, that is not their job. Their job is to provide a service to anyone who is legally in capabilities to partake on it.
I am just concerned how people who are not supposed to gamble, drink or consume some drugs are able to do so regardless of themselves and their family members being aware they are not supposed to do so.  :( . Some people could argue it is part of the responsabilies all of us have as adults living in relatively free societies.
Don't you think it would be awesome if people could have access to mental healthcare as easily as they can register on an online casino or buy illegal drugs in the streets? It is just curious how it is always easier to slip down the bad path than climbing up to the top of the mountain and improve our own situations, and believe me, sometimes family does not help, rather make things worse for those who have serious problems with gamling...

Observing closely his behaviors before, he passed away can determine what exactly was bothering him, however, recently people don't care about others, recently. But people are facing lots of troubles, every day, and losing out such an amount of money can contribute to the wrong decision of the person. He may have affected the growth of his business and wonders over what his life would look like without his business. Gamblers who earn money or run businesses, are meant to stay careful 24/7 not to make mistakes in their decisions of doubling the money.

And one, as a gambler, should surround himself with his loved ones who care so much about him. Everybody has a hard period where; he'd need people to save him out of the fight. Loneliness leads to bad thoughts, and that may have affected the deceased. If he had someone who talked him out of his thoughts, he may not have continued with his actions. Moreover, most often, they claim all is fine, hence, people around gamblers, should buckle up on knowing if everyone around them is doing great, regardless of their facial reactions. Life gets difficult, and people tend to make it look like all is fine with them, even when suffering a painful problem.

Accessing those facilities as you have mentioned is not an issue but the issue is this, it is only when an individual agrees or admits that they have an issue that is when they will look for remedy or cure. Now the question is, will they accept the fact that they have such a problem even if they truly are? Nobody would want to admit that they have such an issue just to cover up for people not to look at them in disdain  that is why most people with psychological issues do not open up.

Those who have lost their self-confidence will certainly be able to easily do things that they shouldn't do and they no longer look for solutions to solve their problems so they decide to end their lives and according to him this will solve their problems, right what you say is when they don't tell anyone about the problems they are facing, of course no one will ever know about the problems they are facing until they no longer find a solution and choose the shortcut.

Sure, I can agree with you about the issue on whether someone having problems with gambling would be actually willing to admits those problems in order to get help, but that is why enforced committed is/was a thing in the most of developed countries in the past decades, you know. The families of the mentally sick people or people with addictions could sign some papers for them to get committed even if they did not admit they were in need of those treatments. It may sound cruel to many people, but thanks to it thousands of patients got the help they needed (at least those who were so supposed to consume medication).
For instance, I have a friend whose brother suffers from squizophrenia and when he does not want to take his medication and starts to act out, they cannot get him committed because it would take him to agree on it. To me it does not make sense to need to permission of someone in such irrational state in order to be able to help him to recover.
It may be the same with gambling addicts.

Unpopular opinion, but that is what I currently think of the approach of psychiatric institutions.  :(

In my opinion, those who are addicted will find it difficult to admit their mistakes, because of course they are also addicted, I think they would be embarrassed if other people found out, now there are lots of gamblers everywhere and of course there are definitely those who are truly addicted to gambling. and if asked, I don't think he would answer that he was addicted to gambling. Of course, someone who is addicted to gambling will experience changes in their thoughts which may lead them to take unreasonable actions. and if it's really serious they can't accept the pressure caused by their own actions, the pressure they feel can make them stressed so that it can make them experience mental disorders which maybe at that time they need someone who is an expert in their field, taking drugs which may be a necessity for them to be able to recover from their addiction, some families may be embarrassed but as far as I know the family will definitely support whatever they do as long as it leads to goodness, of course to be able to recover from addiction you have to go through many things which are even hard to bear. themselves, so the role of the family is also important in this matter.

I am trying to get your point clear, and if I really get your point, are you saying that before people with such an ailment are treated in your country, they would need to sign a commitment agreement pact before they treat them even at that state, at which medical attention would be needed? Has it gotten to the point where such cases that need immediate attention will need signatures before they are attended to? What if they are not in a stable condition to sign and there is nobody around them to sign at that moment? Would they be denied medical attention?

I was just trying to make a reference on how the mental health care system in developed countries used to work and how they work nowadays, nothing else. Here in this country it is different, though. We do not have basic healthcare institutions,.and the few ones we have, they are pretty much lacking all necessary equipment for doctors to take care of us.
I am exclusively talking about mental healthcare, not other kinds of problems which could completely and suddenly cripple someone from trying to get the help they need.
Perhaps you misunderstood what I was trying to say. The system is so lacking here that if someone wanted to find help to deal with gambling addiction, they did not have many options left, beyond help groups and church, professional assistance is private.

So bad that is extremely madness of the highest order
But why are people so mean on taken their own life matter what happened it had happened before and you are not the first and can't even be the last, well I believe is going to be a lesson for others that have hears to listen don't gamble with what you can not afford to lose

A gambler should inform close friend or acquaintance of his current gambling condition. Especially in choosing a person, the gambler should choose someone who does not share his personal information with others. A good side of this is that he can give him good suggestions when he is under a deadly threat. Every gambler should find one. I have also good friend with whom I share all my gambling wins and losses. Sometimes I get relatively good advice from him which takes me away from my depression.

Not everyone is a gambler about whom nothing can be assumed, not even the idea that they gamble or are addicted to gambling. In their case, some unfortunate events are seen. However, in solving this problem, a gambler should choose a trusted person with whom he can share all his personal matters. Following this steps it is possible to get rid of such situations.

Mental health is often disregarded by many people, as the pain the person is experimenting do not seem to have a logical explanation, like it is the case when someone has broken a bone and you can clearly see the reason for their suffering, so many of those that are experimenting that internal pain do not look for the help they need and they may begin to even disregard their own feelings.

But this is dangerous, since they are more likely to take an abrupt decision over an incident that we may consider to be minor, since even if losing 3k is a painful experience, the majority of the people here in the forum have lost more while gambling or investing, and no one took the decision to take their own life.

Okay now it is abundantly clear because I was wondering which country could have such health policy that is very detrimental to an emergency situations and from the looks, it seems you are an African because it is only here in Africa I know that the health system is far lacking behind of good health equipments and facilities.

When it comes to getting help or good counsel to stop addiction problems like gambling, the names you have mentioned are the last resorts because they are the only available help that one could get to assist them with words of encouragement and admonition to put them in check and to do away with the lapses they are currently facing.

Once mental health would really be that affected then this is where people would really be starting to think up about those suicidal things specially if they are on such tough situation.
This is why it would really be always that best that you should really be having that emotional control and self awareness on the things that you've been doing. Dont let your emotions control you
because once it does then you would really be doing things on which you didnt expect that you could actually be able to do once in your life.

It is really just that sad that people do really end up on this kind of options rather than on solving out their debt problems. Yes, its not easy specially if addiction had controlled over you
but doesnt mean that you would really be that ending up with that kind of solution. In every problem there's a solution into that on which it would really be just that
normal that it would be hard but doesnt mean that it would be impossible.

I saw he was a businessman. This means the $3k worth of betting money was probably money he used for business. He lost his money which means he has lost his business. And he lost his source of income. It was really a very difficult situation and it took a very strong mentality to get out of that situation. I agree with you in never spending money that you are not prepared to lose. I think we can gamble just for fun. Spending a few pennies to enjoy the game is much better than spending hundreds of dollars chasing the jackpot.

Suicide is the worst solution, especially in the gambling industry. You know, I watched a lot of interviews with gambling addicts and I got the paradoxical opinion that these are very optimistic and cheerful people. Most of them would never commit suicide. They get into debt, declare themselves bankrupt, take money from somewhere again, lose again, and so on ad infinitum. Friends, life is beautiful and amazing. Suicide is permissible only in cases of prolonged, unbearable physical suffering. In this case, it becomes something like euthanasia. Or, let's say you are a soldier who was captured and bullied. And you understand that you will never get out of this captivity any other way. On the other hand, I read books written by concentration camp prisoners who managed to survive despite all the abuse.

Mental health is a major element in gambling addiction, and it is often overlooked. Gambling addiction has been related to a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and even schizophrenia, which is a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel and behave clearly.. It's critical to care for your mental health and get help if you're struggling.

We live in an era where you can't do anything without money, this is what makes people gamble with their hard-earned money that they can't afford to lose so that they can earn more money with it to sustain their lives which isn't the right thing to do but they can't help it, they probably don't find any other source where they can make money, and they find gambling to be the easiest way to do that.

People who commit suicide due to gambling or losing money don't do it because of the money they've lost, but they do it because they know they have nothing left in their life after that, and now they have nothing to live for, though they should think of their families and relatives but they lose the ability to think at such times.

When someone having gambling addiction, his mental gets affected and that caused him can't thinks clear about what he did in gambling. He will only wants to playing gambling without wanting doing anything because he thinks that gambling is the important things for him. But when he can't hold himself and many problems comes to him, he can't solves it and will desperate as he will not see a way out to solves his problems. He will only thinks to ends his life without thinks that if he does that, the other people around him will affects too what he does.

Once that addiction do shackles you then getting out would really be that so damn hard and if you arent that having that good control towards your mind and emotion then most likely you would really be getting addicted by it and this is why it would really be that important that you do have that kind of mentality and awareness that you shouldnt really be playing gambling too much if you dont like to mess up your life.
Being responsible is really just that easy to mention or to advise but on the time that you are on such condition or situation then it wont really be that easy.

People who do end up on having that suicide decisions are the ones who are really that emotionally weak on which due on the time that they've seen that there's no solution
to problem then they would be coming up into a solution on having a suicide to have solved out on everything which it is really just that an insane thing to be done.

True, everything costs money, there is no free lunch and even when you want to pee you have to pay a certain amount of money, life is hard while work is getting harder and the name of necessity can never be tolerated, meaning money is something that can make you survive longer, and yes I agree with you that this is what makes someone desperate to make gambling a place to earn, and one of the causes may be the factor of circumstances that are experiencing money difficulties. Putting hope that gambling will be able to change their lives by getting a lot of winnings, but however this is a wrong idea and maybe stupid.

This is why anyone should not gamble when he is in trouble especially when experiencing financial problems in his life, because gambling is not an activity to solve problems, this is nothing more than a place of recreation for anyone who is bored. Ending your life is the worst situation as a result of gambling in my opinion, you sacrifice your own life for your mistake in thinking or understanding what gambling is really about, I am sure that the person is in a desperate situation with full of pressure which in the end makes a ridiculous decision by ending life.

Yes, life gets harder and money would be the main thing that we would really be needing yet in every step or actions you do make then it do involves money. On the time that you have lost your life savings or lets say that you had put up yourself into extreme debts then you would really be coming into your life on having that kind of situation that you would be killing yourself.
Some say that its simple to control such thing but we do know that not all people would really be having on the same control just like others on where there are ones who are really that
too emotional when it comes to things and when they do experience such problems then they do really end up on becoming that too emotional until they would come up into this kind of solution.

I Agree, it's as easy as telling other people that they should learn to control themselves or they should have stopped themselves from gambling from the start, but that's hard to do especially since we're not at the same level of life and handling of the problem that comes. There are some people who no matter how big a problem they face, they can overcome it, and there are others who just give up on a small problem and I don't see anything wrong with that, everyone's feeling is valid and nothing else can dictate how they should feel especially if you have not experienced what they have experienced.

Irresponsible gambling can lead to many evil things, including suicide, people who gamble with an amount they cannot afford to lose are liable to suicide if things do not go their way. Stories such as this is a warning to people, do not get addicted to gambling, gambling in itself is not bad, it is the addiction that is the problem, and it can ruin lives. I recommend that one should seek help immediately if they can no longer control their gambling habits, it is better to get help than to allow it ruin you.

The issue here is that even if we can agree that different people can have different ways of dealing with their problems, and while some may be incredibly resolute and never give up no matter what, while others do not have even an ounce of that resolution.

When we are talking about the huge consequences that lack of resolution can bring to others, like it is the case brought forward by the OP, then such tolerance cannot be allowed anymore.

The things is many gamblers don't thinks about how to responsible gambling and makes them losing much money and the worst is they becomes addicted to gambling. This happens to many gamblers while the other gamblers doesn't learned from those gamblers who has experienced that. Many people becomes addicted to gambling because they don't have a self-control when playing gambling so they tempted to continue playing gambling without responsibility. If you already feel that you have lack of self-control, you must not playing gambling too often and too long because that can attracted you to playing gambling longer than usual. If you thinks that you can become worst, you must ask for helps from your family and friends so they can help you immediately before the situations becomes worst.

Just the stress that it gives can make one person unhealthy. Bowel problems, easily irritated, disoriented, and a lot of stressful reactions that could ruin one's health. Taking your own life though seems to be hardcore, if you believe in something spiritual that gave you life then you won't do that. Just thinking about your parents will do. How sad they will be if one person takes his life especially if that is their son or daughter? I bet they will be heartbroken and they will be thinking of different things like what they did lack for their child to do that.
Gambling should just be an entertainment, like sport. Treat it like that and there are fewer worries about it. Just today I was not in the mood to play casino games because I kept on losing and then it was given back to me like I was being played so I just took the rest and called it a day. That is how we treat gambling, it's not a necessity, we don't really need it everyday.

There have been many cases of crimes caused by perpetrators who were addicted to gambling, this happened in my country there was news of crimes and when interrogated the reason for the crimes they committed was because they were addicted to slot gambling. Also, in my opinion, it is not strange if there is a crime if the reason they do it is because they are addicted to gambling. With gambling addiction, of course it can make them dare to carry out actions that carry big risks even if they are in trouble with the law. Of course, gambling will not go according to our wishes, because losses that are certain to occur cannot be avoided, except by minimizing losses such as betting with our financial capabilities. Many bet beyond their financial limits, but this ends up being a problem for themselves.

The problems that occur are due to their own excessive actions, the pressure that comes cannot be accepted well, causing their thinking to become confused which ultimately makes them stressed or even to the point of wanting to end their life, abandoning responsibilities that they should complete themselves. Gambling is not dangerous if we can do it well and not do it excessively. In my opinion, many people who have a bad view of gambling are because they themselves gamble excessively.

Because of the profound effects of stress and negativity, doctors almost always ask people with psychological problems to live more optimistically, more precisely, they need to make the cells feel love, instead of losing the will to survive. Such diseases cannot be cured with medicine, they need to be cured with a healthier soul but in the end, the oppression from society as well as the coldness from the family often cause tragic events, the world in the eyes of those who commit suicide is not really as beautiful as others describe

I agree it is not good to get excited about gambling when one is not in control so if you can control yourself and heal everything with a healthy spirit life will be beautiful. It is not possible to get out of gambling addiction easily if the person does not want to since the beginning of the development of human civilization the tendency of gambling or risk taking among people is noticeable. Gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment rather than ruining one's life by keeping one's problems under control.

Reaching to a point where you turn to life of crime just to be able to gamble is not something you can reverse. I am sure there must be a few people who rehabitated to get better, but that doesn't mean that it is going to be easy at all. It is going to be something that will take a while and I am pretty sure that it is not going to be all that easy.

We should be emphatic towards people like this but doesn't mean that we should approve neither. Just denying them life, is not the solution, we gain nothing by it. But understanding the issues underlying and trying to maybe even fix these issues could make it a lot better and could earn the community one more person. This is why help is always the most important thing they could request.

Basically those who gamble. Gambling addicts never gamble thinking about their family. If they gambled thinking about their family then they wouldn't gamble. He used to walk in that way so that his family would be well. Gambling can never bring peace to a family. There are still many families whose happiness and peace are being destroyed due to gambling. However, they cannot stop gambling. However, the dreams of many thousands of middle-class families in the society are being broken through this gambling, so this gambling is never right. Gambling can never bring happiness and peace in people's lives. So we all should not be addicted to gambling.  Gambling is not right for any of us so our society will be good for all aspects of the family.

This kind of gambler has done two kinds of havoc, one to himself for committing a suicide and the other was the family he has thrown into mourning of his demise, i don't know how he came about having such mentality that suggest death as an alternative to shame  over gambling loss, am sure he must have been somewhere now blaming himself afterlife, and upon all this decision and action taken, that doesnt cler the debts he has left behind.

Yeah, gambling addiction's clearly got some awful impacts - for the person with the problem, and their family and friends too.  When someone can't stop gambling even though it's messing up their life, they probably feel real lonely and like things aint never gonna get better.  Suicide's just an awful end result.  But it isn't about feeling ashamed - it's more about the mental illness that can cloud judgment.

when they are addicted and want to recover from their addiction, it takes quite a long time, in the rehabilitation stage they also have to be able to go through the rehabilitation process, because it is not easy to be able to go through the recovery process from their gambling addiction, of course they have to have strong determination. strong so it doesn't shake easily. because I'm sure that if they become addicted, they must have friends around them who are equally fond of gambling, and if one of them wants to stop gambling, they must be able to restrain themselves when they see or hear news of another friend getting a big win at gambling. If they really have good thoughts, maybe they won't be easily tempted and think that the victory their friend got was a temporary victory.

In my opinion, those who are addicted themselves must be aware of their own mistakes, such as realizing that the gambling they are doing is too excessive. Even though we have to help those who are addicted to recover, it will be difficult if they do not have their own awareness of the gambling they do. Of course they need help to recover, but that will happen when they themselves want to recover or have awareness, because if it's not like that then they don't need help to recover from their addiction.

strong will? Non-negotiable. Addiction coats a person like armor in a constant siege. Going it alone because "I can handle it"? Fantasy. Gambling pals' echo chamber? This siren melody leads to relapse

As you strive to quit, witnessing a friend win is like watching someone feast while you fast. The key? Perspective. Some wins are mirages in a desert of losses. Temporary highs without long-term stability

A long chain begins with self-awareness. It's like changing Titanic deck chairs without it. The change from "I need to stop" to "I want to stop" is huge. Support? Essential. Without the will to change, it's like lighting a wet match. Choose recovery, a personal revolution. Face every fear, challenge every excuse, and change the script. The difficulty is harsh. But guess what? The other side of that struggle? Authentic self-worth that gambling cannot deliver

When someone is addicted then it is likely that they will not be able to get out of it, the same as the chance of winning in gambling, the chance of success is very slim, when addiction has enveloped it then there is a big chance that they will fail if they try to get out of that zone, some gamblers who want to get out I think they fail from their addiction, because they will come back again when they see people around them who are the same gamblers winning, because with that the temptation is very strong, so there is very little chance that they can get out or recover from their addiction.

Therefore, if they want to be able to recover from their addiction, they must have a strong will of their own and must be able to resist strong temptations too. With the will and determination that they have, I think they can get through it as long as they are consistent with their target or their will. Don't be easily distracted or tempted by wins that are only temporary. Winning at gambling is indeed tempting, but winning at gambling is not always pleasant, because sometimes winning at gambling can also be a problem if we take the wrong steps in the future.

It's impossible to comment on this situation without having the full details about what the person was going through at the moment of committing suicide. Most likely he was already in some bigger troubles, potentially caused by his betting/gambling issues and he had debts he cannot cover, that's why he decided to place such a big bet to try and rescue it all. Most people here say they couldn't do such a thing, if they were in this person's place but it's impossible to say that without actually finding yourself in such a situation.

This should be a warning sign for all gamblers. No matter how mentally strong you are, no matter how much money you have, no matter how responsible you are, gambling can take you to a place you've never even imagined before, if you lose control. Gambling is one of the worst addictions existing and it could potentially make you lose everything you have, not only your money but also your family and in rare cases even your life. Therefore, if you think you have a gambling issue, even a small one, and you are not in control of your gambling, take a break and think over the situation. Do not let it get out of control, because it's extremely hard to recover after you've lost everything.

         -   It's pretty bad when, just because a large amount of money is lost, you end up taking your own life. Maybe because he couldn't accept what happened to his defeat, he couldn't control his emotions, which made him do something he shouldn't have done.

So it's really important that we have discipline and control over ourselves so that we don't end up in such suicidal situations. What if he has a family that is left behind? Then his family is poor.
Our lives shouldn't be waste for such a thing like this only.

Gambling is not for the financially challenge person, it's been clearly stated from the very start. Gamble what you can afford to win and not the other way round. Gambling have taught me huge lesson, I'm not ever going to forget in a hurry. If you want to know how strong is a gambler, check him when makes huge losses, trust me when I say, most of them will not be able to stand because there are crucial losses. Don't tender blames because you never might picture what one is going through. There's quite crucial incidents that hits man daily and especially from the system.

People should empathize with the individual's hardships, but there's a wave of disgust for unregulated gaming. Your point is important; like I did in business and leading a country, we must confront these difficulties. Suicide from gambling debts is a social warning bell. Gambling can destroy your spirit and bank account.

I've witnessed casinos' highs and lows, people betting everything on a dice. Entertainment, but when it goes awry? Catastrophic. More should be said about mental health and the pressures that push people over the edge. Not having a pecuniary safety net, but having a network of individuals who can draw you back. Yes, take a break if you're hot. Not only brilliant, but necessary. Overcoming life's challenges and becoming stronger and more resilient is the best comeback. We must promote the American dream.

it is a very stupid thing to do to take your life because I lost a game When there are more games to play, to me, it is not worth it, I do not see the reason why I should end my life because of a freaking game. I do not even care about the victim, since he does not care about himself. I only feel for his family because they will be better informed about the whole thing. It is not as if losing money is nice but there are other opportunities and betting is always there, so you can bet more games than you think. Instead of ending this precious life, something a lot of people are looking for, the person just wasted it as if life were nothing. and if it as about the debt he would have just look for a better way to clear is debt than killing him self.

Not all would really be that good when it comes on handling out stress on which there are ones who do have that kind of tolerance and there are ones who are really that weak
and do get easily get stressed on which this would really be that resulting into suicide. This is why it wouldnt really be that something that we could easily understand since we arent into their situation
but its true that it is really that not really worth it on killing your ownself just because of some money issues or problems. Yes, its not something simple or easy but doesnt mean
that you would really be killing yourself just for this kind of reasoning. There's no problem that cant really be solved out and it would be that normal that it would be hard
but its not something impossible.

Handling ourselves is crucial to our actions and reactions even as emotion could be unpredictable in terms of what it could cause. Although it is unwise that an irrational decision is the solution when the person is practically fit as a man, that's unwise. No amount of losses should make anyone feel too deeply pained and not overcome if the person is smart enough to have prepared for the worst even before gambling. We should nonetheless limit the risk we take to the barest minimum because if it is too much, it could be so painful.

Even at that, we should rather think of the way out and not otherwise, we should know that there will always be other better days even at loss, and I must tell you that there is nothing happening now in gambling that has not happened before, so life goes on. We should hope for a better day but when the day eventually comes again, we should not misuse the opportunity again, let's gamble rightly and wisely. Gambling is an activity that will always give you or take from you, so we should prepare our minds about that.

But I wonder why a person who is mindful of that would still risk senselessly to the point that such would still lose so big. Well, let's just continue to be conscious about this and keep the right mentality towards gambling even as we manage ourselves.

It is quite likely that the money he lost represented a great deal to this person, however if that is the case then he should not have bet that money away, very often you will see forum members advising newbies members to not bet more than what they can afford to lose, and this is the reason why.

As if a person were to lose an amount of money that is key to them, when they lose it they will feel desperate about it, and it will increase the chances they make a mistake from which they will never recover.

I would add a little, apart from not being good for risking money like that, it is also important to be wise when gambling.
For example, when you are losing, it is highly recommended to stop for a moment and not rely on emotions to double your bet in order to recover the money you lost.

Suicidal is never an option 🥺
At op the money seem little when converted to USD but frankly that’s a huge sum of money in our local currency and only god and the deceased knows the source of the money that would have prompted him to take his life and just as @op has already stated that, no matter what, suicide is never an option and this should also be another wake up call for every gambler not to gamble money they can’t afford to lose as nothing, absolutely nothing is certain or guaranteed in the gambling industry.

May the soil of the departed rest in peace and I pray god give his family he left behind the fortitude to bear this loss and we should always do well to check up with people in our neighborhoods as you never can tell who you might be saving from situations like with just your presence and companionship.

It is no stranger to our ears when we hear about a gambler who dared to commit suicide even though he often lost when gambling. Yes, maybe it's his own choice, but it's very scary for me personally. Is there no other way but to commit suicide? Maybe the only way is to repent sincerely and not repeat the same thing in the future.
However, I say that if a gambler tries to commit suicide to get rid of depression or not burden other people, then he falls into the category of very short-sightedness and must think about it with good common sense, then the consequences will be very pronounced. by members of his own family.

Yes, that's because they are desperate to take a look with their lives that already changed and become worst. They can't see a solutions to solves their problem because everything is in the dark without they see the light that can guide them. That's bad for them because they can't gets out from their addictions and will just end their lives if they can't hold and solves their problems. They needs to have awareness, repent sincerely, and tells other people about their addiction can helps them to gets solutions from their problems. A gambler who tries to commit suicide needs to open their eyes because they still have more options to solving their addiction, especially if they can talks to other people about their addictions. They will gets solution and how to solved it if they can meet other people and ask for helps.

         -    Maybe it could be those times. He thought that what he would bet on would be that he would recover all the amounts he had lost. That's why he didn't seem to think about what would happen if he lost. Apparently, he may have become so complacent that he will win that bet.

Something that he didn't expect, maybe because he strongly believes that he will win, but the thing is not really. And that's when the severe depression entered his mind, which caused him to no longer control his own thoughts.

This is why it would really be that important that you should really be having that kind of control when it comes to gambling spending because once you do go overboard or with your limit then you would really be ending up on having that huge problem when it comes to money and this is something that will really be putting up on such huge trouble. Just like been said that majority of people would really be that considering taking
suicide would really be their easiest solution on which it is really just that a foolish move to be done. We do know that in each problem comes up with a solution. If you do find out yourself that
being spending too much money on which it comes into a point that you are already making some loans or having that gradual increase of debts then it would be always best that you should quit for good
before its too late. We do know that once debts would really be that becoming that too deep on which paying up the interest is already pain in the ass then you would really be having a hard time to recover.
This is the time you would be telling to yourself that you would really be taking your life to solve everything.

It could be that a gambler is very secretive in his daily life and does not dare to tell other people about his addictive behavior, which could actually have fatal consequences for him. If the gambler had been open to telling others about his addiction, perhaps he would not have committed suicide.
Telling other people about our experiences will actually make our hearts and minds feel lighter because other people will definitely try to provide advice to prevent and cure gamblers from their addiction.

If a gambler is very secretive in his daily life, he will hard to gets help from other people because he also difficult to meet other people can converse about many things, including his personal life. He needs to have openness about himself and he can trying to talks to his main member of family because someone can close with other people on his family. If he can have one or two closer family member, he can tell to them about his addictive behavior and that can helps him to gets a help from them. Yes, it will makes our hearts and minds feel lighter because he can tells to others about what he feels and gets a solution to solve his problem.

It is true that gamblers completely close themselves off from other people about what has become a habit for them in gambling, this will trigger emotional stress when the gambler needs help from other people but other people don't know about it and the gambler will be helped. confused about how to deal with it. something like this.
So there is nothing wrong with gamblers wanting to be a little more open about their gambling activities to other people, especially to their own family members, because of course these family members will always provide good advice and advice to the gambler.

This is a sad story to be honest. But unfortunately we cannot do anything about this. What we can do is just learn from this incident. It set a major message that we should gamble with the amount that we can afford to lose. In this case, the gambler exceeded his limits to gamble for which he has to take such bigger step. We need to understand that in gambling there is risk, so we must calculate the risk intakes and accordingly bet in order to evaluate these types of situation.

I think there is no amount of money that will make me take my life. Because it should never be done because giving one's life for money is never a solution but only hurts one's soul more. Not only in gambling but also in various investments and training and if any amount of money is lost, suicide is not possible for me but how could that person sacrifice his own life for a small amount of money. I think he might have been addicted to gambling too much which caused too much stress in his brain and he was mentally ill which forced him to commit suicide. A healthy minded person would never commit suicide over losing money, but instead try to figure out how to do better next time. Apparently he got addicted to gambling due to which he lost his mental balance and finally after losing a lot of money he chose to commit suicide. I think he was a gambling addict and crazy, otherwise he would never have lost his life just because of money, he must be mentally ill.

Yes, that makes some gamblers have a serious problems that they don't see that can harm their lives. If they still don't tells to other people about their gambling problems, they will gets deeper in gambling and hard to solve the problems. They feel that by hiding their gambling activity can makes them playing gambling by free because no one will yelling or angry with their habits. But that's the real problems because if they don't have control over themselves, they will not see how to treat gambling properly. They really needs help from other people to cure their habits before it changed becomes addiction.

Telling to other people about their gambling activity is a solution so there are someone who can watch and supervision them when they playing gambling. They can reminds a gambler to always limits their gambling activity so not to becomes deeper in gambling. Openness to their family is good so their family can gives support to them and not let them alone in playing gambling without supervision.

Gambling like this is never right because gambling can never bring peace in one's life. Gambling is the cause of social and family degradation so we should all refrain from gambling. There are many families who have almost destroyed their families due to gambling. Basically, those who are addicted to gambling, if they lose once they gamble, maybe they gamble again and again with the dream that we will gain money through gambling, but at some point, they almost exhaust their money by gambling.

When a gambler chases after winning again and again greed works in him and life is destroyed due to this greed. Everyone's life is beautiful but it should be enjoyed well. In gambling rather than financial gain the excitement of the game acts as the main catalyst behind its addiction. So it can be seen that a gambling addict spends most of the day thinking about gambling and is ready to increase the amount of bets. When I lost in the last stage I regretted it later.

Agreeing with the courage to tell other people about experiences or incidents that we have experienced in gambling is one solution where other people who really care about us will always provide the best suggestions and advice so that we can avoid gambling addiction. However, we have to be selective in choosing people we will trust about our bad behavior, because not everyone will accept and understand our bad behavior, but there are also those who mock and don't care because they hate gambling.

This is too bad, I think this should sound as a warning to other gamblers out their, how will a person take gambling this serious, so with this I think that there are people that take gambling as a career, this is insane, though I won't blame them much because of most of them were introduced by friends or relatives.
Though it will be good too for an addicted gambler to talk to someone when he or she is going through depression in other to avoid the unexpected from happening, individuals should avoid making gambling their profit making venture so that this stuffs will stop occuring in future.

People that introduce people to gambling are failing to preach to them the inimical side of gambling and how it should be eschewed without compromise.

Aside from gambling addiction, addiction generally is easily conquered when the addict could bolster the courage to share what he's going through with a close friend of relative to confide in the person about his situation. But when kept in silence , regrets sets in bringing all negative manner of options to mind and suicide is one of those. Hence as the Op stated it, any amount of money that can make you commit suicide or anything related to harming yourself then don't risk that money to gamble.

It's a very sad and regrettable act by him, why would he do something like this? Taking his own life just because of a loss, though it's a very huge amount of money, but their is no justification in taking your own life,  that is why it's very wrong to bet with an amount you can't afford to lose, because I believe that it's the major cause of this suicide case here, people should stop gambling with what they can't afford to lose, it's very wrong, for their mental sanity to be in check, they have to stay off from that act,
I believe that gambling shouldn't be a do or die affair, I believe that it should be for fun, not a means of survival.

Gambling can never be for fun. People may play gambling for fun at first but once they play for fun they become so addicted to gambling that if they lose huge amount of money in gambling then they go into depression all they can do. We all should learn from this incident that gambling can never bring happiness and peace in one's life, so one should always refrain from such gambling so that his life and family will be better. Gambling is like a deadly cancer. Once gambling becomes an addiction, people cannot get out of it, so they should stay away from gambling as much as possible.

Well, I asked some of my friends who are new to the gambling world and questions about their experience. They are saying "We're just having fun". That seems natural for the new gamblers as their first impression is that gambling is for fun which is indeed right but what it goes wrong is when they can't control the temptation and badly fall into addiction.

Honestly, gambling is not a bad thing to do but because we fall into greediness and the wants to become rich instantly, that changes our mindset, and take gambling as a serious thing when in fact, it was just for fun.

With telling or sharing about our experiences or incidents that we have in gambling can helps us to gets advice or suggestion from other people. They will see our problem and can give something that we can used to change ourselves. If that people is our family members, they will gives the best advices to us whereas because they don't wants to see something bad happens to us. Yes, we must selective in choosing people that we trust because we will tells them about our dark side which they never knows before. Maybe they will shock after hearing about our stories our experiences but they will gives helps to us.

The best play is discussing hard gambling stories. Absolute best. Loyalty is everything, even when you're struggling. Family is your inner circle. They want you to win in life and at the table. I want honest guidance, not handouts.

Opening up is strategic. You wouldn't play every poker hand, right? The same idea. Choose confidants cautiously. Some people exploit weaknesses. Cut them loose like a failed business deal. Find out what brought you to the table, not just exit the game. The true win is there. Lets discuss actual solutions and create a winning life strategy.

When you use the amount of money that you cannot afford to lose, gambling will no longer be fun to you, but it will bring pains to you and regret. This is why if you want to enjoy the fun in gambling, you don't need to use big amount of money, because of you do, it shows you want to make profit. If the game turns out the other way round, you become frustrated to the point of doing stupid things.

I think that, it is better that we only tell people more about our losses in gamble, so that any of them that want to gamble, will consider it, as a game of loss. That will make them to be careful with the amount that they want to use for gambling, and when they loss, they would not be bothered.

But how about those real gamblers that are doing it actually for fun? I don't think that it's not never for fun. It can be for any reason that we can do but mostly are saying they are doing it for fun. I agree that at the beginning, it is for fun but once the gambler develops the habit of gambling then that reasoning changes.

About peace I agree because it increases our expectation from our bets and being not contented. But about happiness, I refute because when we gamble and we're having fun. The enjoyment is there and no one can take away that happiness from you until you start to lose money and everything you've got.

This is about controlling ourselves because they can't ban it because some are irresponsible.

This is pretty similar to liquor and cigars, although they are not good for the health but it's still not being ban. The point is, if we want to be safe, we have to stay in control as irresponsible gamblers have no room in gambling. Of course I would not agree it will be ban as i'm enjoying and that is despite I'm losing money, I never thought of taking my life.


As I mentioned, blame it to us for being irresponsible, we can't blame it to the gambling industry as they didn't force us to gamble.

I agree with you, most people when they start gambling, it’s always fun to them, but when they start losing money, then you will no longer see the fun in gambling, they will start gambling just to recover the amount which they have lost, but in the process of you trying to recover the amount you have lost, then you will keep on losing, and you will get to a point at which you are going to get stuck, you won’t be comfortable if you haven’t gambled, your fellow gamblers will start encouraging you to keep on gambling, you shouldn’t give up, and you will be motivated by other people’s win, and you will also keep on gambling.

I don’t know maybe it’s only in my country what you are going to see telegram and WhatsApp groups where they will claim they are providing fix matches? Those set of people always make people think that gambling is so very easy, they make people believe they can easily make money from gambling, but all of them are just scammers, and newbies usually fall for their tricks.

Sharing our problem to our family member is a very good idea cause we are all know that they are the only persons who can help us to avoid gambling in the future. And also when we are keeping our secrets to them then it will getting worst and worst cause the more we hide the more we do. Without knowing that we are too addicted in gambling which is we use our personal savings to gamble  cause we think that we gonna make a profit while in  reality we are always Lossing.

Family is the best helps for people who gets a problem and as long as that person can open himself and tells the truth, their family will trying to helps him. Their family will search for a way to solve his problem and will support him to fix the mistakes. Maybe it's difficult but he is not alone because he trying to survive with his family.

Yes, we must find out the trust people who can be besides us while we playing gambling. The important thing is that person must have someone that he can tells about all of his problem and share it to gets help soon.

If we can share our problem to our family, we can gets helps from them so we can solve it without confuse about searching the way. They will helps us to gets out from the problem because we are their family and they don't wants to see one of their family members have a problem. We can share our secret to them, especially if we have a closer family person who will takes their attentions to us and willing to helps us. But if we don't share our problem to them, we will difficult to search for a way out and maybe the situations will becomes worst.

Yes and of course it will also help lighten the burden on our minds regarding the problems we are experiencing at that time, at least by telling other people and those people who are willing to listen and even give us good advice and suggestions are among the most numerous. important things in our lives are addressed to them, they don't want us to fall too far into the evil of gambling because if we sink there it will be very fatal and difficult to overcome.
Maybe only the people we choose are the ones we consider truly trustworthy and will help alleviate our problems, even if it's just advice and advice.

We can say that they've got no room in gambling for being irresponsible. But that's how the industry is growing and the casinos are earning more because of them. If it is not for them then no casino are going to profit and there are no winners that are going to benefit from it. It's more of an individual thought that we should be careful and don't get to that point. Being aware of things that are going to destroy us should be remembered because if something terrible like this happened in the past, we don't want to see another guy do it again.

I find it far to say about blaming it to us for being irresponsible when a gambler finds some satisfaction as what I've mentioned. Well, at the end of it you're right that it's always on us when something good or bad happens to us whether we're responsible or not.

Does cancer has any advantages it offers to humans? None I can think of. Which is why I could disagree that gambling is just like a deadly cancer, gambling is just what each and very gambler makes of it depending on how he chooses to play either by the rules of gambling responsibly or not by the rules but by greed and irresponsible gambling. The resultant effects for each sides are different to the player's.  There are gamblers that have made a fortune from gambling by continuing risking amount of money that's  within their limits, but if another decides to run faster than his shadow then the deadly cancer side of gambler might be his prize.

Cancer and gambling are opposites. Cancer doesn't offer a nice benefit menu. But fighting cancer displays human strength. No casino game can match its fight and comeback. Willpower and determination.

Gambling is different. Best players take measured risks and know when to pull back. Some people earn big because smart decisions pay off. Neither luck nor disaster is guaranteed. Take responsibility, realize the odds, and play within your means. Avoid demeaning gamblers by comparing it to a serious illness. Recognize the pleasure, risk, and possible wins, but highlight that it's a purposeful choice. Life is about choices, and the best players make them count.

Well, 'gambling is cancer,' no one will agree with this thought of yours. If it is a cancer, then have you ever wondered why many countries around the world are legalizing gambling in their countries? No government can provide a disease to spread to its people.
The main reason here is that players cannot control their behavior. I just liken gambling to alcohol and cigarettes. Although it is harmful, when you use it in moderation, it will bring you joy.

Truly those who battle cancer does deserve our respect as the battle they fighting against such deadly disease is just so unimaginable. However, just as @blitzboy said gambling shouldn't be stooped on or those involve in it to be derogated through demeaning statements. If anyone doesn't have interest in the activity doesn't make their lack of interest a reason to abase it to nothing but evil. For every gambler that have played within the circumvent rule of gambling responsibly can say for sure that the game is something fun to engage in as it also offer the chance of making profits from each play.

It's devastating to hear about the young man who felt his only escape from gambling losses was to take his life. Remember, no financial hole is as deep as the grave.

What really leads to this disvaststing event in the young man dead is out of just losing a bet, because at the moment I think depression is what really affected his mood before he eventually chose gambling to eas off the stress but eventually he chooses the wrong approach to it by chasing a bet that ordinarily should have been for fun and not to chase any direction.
This is the worst thing I hard for a while now, gambling is indeed risky and we should stay away from it when we know that we are not emotionally stable enough for it, but all the same RIP to the young man,but taking one life is not a good idea.

It is important to stick to the facts if we are going to criticize something, gambling is just a hobby, a hobby in which millions of people engage every single day and most of them can do it in a healthy way.

Is it true there are a number of people that abuse it? Yes but their number is very small, and at some point politicians have to make a choice, do they ban gambling because a few people cannot control themselves? But if they do it, would not that same people still fall into this addiction by gambling illegally or becoming addicted to something else? And if that is the case, are they not banning gambling for no reason at all and damaging tens of thousands of people that could lose their jobs on the country by banning casinos and damaging society as a whole more as a result of those policies?

We gamble for fun but also doing what we think is best for us, most of these gamblers you see or have encountered in the space are going through alot due to heavy loss, some of them even went as far as borrowing for gambling. A business man taking his own life due to the heavy loss recorded on his end in gambling. No human sits in position to take his life because there's always new opportunities everyday in the space and it's our primary duty to keep attempting if we're solely interested in the big winnings, remember nothing good comes easy.

With sharing to the others, that helps us to release stresses in ourselves and find out for the way to solve the problems. With other people suggestion, we can see a light that can guide us to gets the way and we will not feel alone. When someone feels alone, he will desperate and not have an intention to solving his problems. Advising from the others can gives him more power and will not trying to fall too far to the gambling because other people will suggest him to reducing his gambling activity. He will not takes a short decision or ends his lives because he can search for the help from the other people around him and gets suggestion from them so he can try one by one of the suggestions to find what suits him.

Yes, sharing experiences in telling other people about events or behavior that we experience will certainly lighten the problems or burdens in life so that we don't get stressed for too long by thinking about our own problems because if we hide them for a while. Over time it will trigger severe depression, as is experienced by many people. Gamblers commit suicide when they often experience a lot of losses.
Maybe such a gambler is too introverted and doesn't want to tell other people about his problems.

With sharing the problems we have or telling other people about what we feel, that can helps us to manage our emotion and feeling not to become stress. If someone stress, he can becomes desperate and that will makes him depression and that can ends by committing suicide when they can't handle their emotion. Many people ends their lives with suicide without thinks about what will happens to their family if they do that. They only thinks about how they can solve their problems without long. That will gives another problems to their family because they don't knows what their family feels if their family knows about his decision.

sharing your problems with others is another means of solving them but not all problems are good to share with others. When it gamble case you have to share it with other gamblers, you can be helped by the gamblers you report your issue to.
IMO if you are addicted to gamble (offline gambler) you can report your self to the manager of the board and they might not allow you to gamble again that's if they are not a greed type. If they are greedy they will still allow you to gamble as long you are being money to gamble, if they are not greedy type thru won't allow you to gamble again as you are becoming addicted and not enjoying the fun in gambling.

exactly , life must be filled with trust and beliefs and this is why sharing all our vices and seeking for advises will help  us all to what we can bring for tomorrow .
this is also what will hinder us in having so much trouble in life because we can release all our burdens and have companion and yeah we can have shoulder to cry on.

We also only gamble on a limited budget. My friends and I have agreed on a reasonable gambling budget so we will have fun within that budget. We never bet on big bets and hope to win the jackpot. We gamble just for fun. It is not easy to be a wise gambler, therefore it is important to choose wise gambling friends.

What happened to the businessman who committed suicide was because he used his business money to gamble and hope to win the jackpot. I think it was really a fatal mistake. I'm sorry for what happened to that businessman. This can be an important lesson for all of us so we can become wise gamblers.

Yes, trust and confidence are the principles of a gambler. If a gambler does not have this behavior then he will have a lot of difficulties when playing at the casino because he is very easily influenced by the various tricks that are there and from there he will be easily tempted and follow them.
And it is true what you said to reduce the burden of problems due to the impact of gambling risks. We should use friends or family as good advisors for us so that in the future we don't make very risky mistakes again.

This is the worst incident I have ever heard of someone being adversely affected by his gambling activities, and I am sure that he is one of those gamblers who came up with the wrong understanding that led him to the wrong approach to gambling that ultimately got himself into a lot of trouble, and I think with his decision to end his life I think we can already imagine about how bad the pressure of the many problems experienced as a result of gambling itself that made him take a very crazy decision to end his life.

This is what we fear when we misunderstand what gambling is, never think that gambling is a quick way to become a rich man or never think that gambling can solve the financial problems that you are experiencing because after all according to the facts that gambling is not a place to multiply money, One of the reasons is because there is always a risk of loss that you can never avoid which means that when you overdo it then obviously the chances are that you will end up losing a large amount of money and I believe this is what the person who committed suicide experienced where he was unable to withstand the pressure of the many problems caused by gambling the wrong way, and it doesn't make sense if you put seriousness and hope in a place that is always about uncertainty.

It's terrible to hear of your gambling dependency, but I'm equally glad you've overcome it and are doing well today. But it's extremely significant to acknowledge the warning signs of addiction and get help if need be, that is seeking for assist from a support authority because certain individuals get into serious financial trouble as a result of gambling, and it can be extremely challenging to get out of it, I mean for the person to pay up his debt on time, in this they are advised to meet organizations who have the capacity to take the accountability on individuals, that is to say, such organizations help individuals to pay off their debts.

Gambling creates a negative reaction in us gambling affects every aspect of a person's daily activities and gradually begins to disintegrate. Deviation from economic social and other matters. Such organizations should be truly grateful as such financial support is usually provided by very few organizations. An addict can overcome addiction if he wants to but it needs proper counseling and support. A gambler can recover in his life by helping the organizations at the right time.

Basically those who are new to gambling usually play gambling for fun but at a time when they become addicted to gambling they have an addiction to how they can earn money through gambling. Whenever it gets into their heads that we will make money by gambling, once they lose the money they become violent to get the money back. Once they become addicted to gambling then they themselves do not understand how they became addicted to gambling. If they become addicted like this their family is very damaged for all of them because gambling can never bring happiness and peace to anyone's life.  

so throughout your gambling you should also take the time to practice yourself so that no matter what happens you will not become addicted to it, you should be able to allocate your time and budget to other things and don't get too absorbed in gambling because once that you really get used to it and you do it again and again, it becomes habitual until addiction develops. It is difficult to control because you have to give your full dedication to achieve this thing so that even if you have been gambling for a long time, you can say that gambling has not caused you any harm.

I think it's not the problem of losing at gambling, there are many reasons behind it because as a businessman, the psychology of the business person facing bankruptcy is many times, it is impossible to have a weak mentality and falling a little will cause them to commit suicide, hidden corners and negative stories gather together to lead to such results. Although relatively unclear, this will be a lesson for others to know that the effects of gambling are not simple, this shortcut can easily make us move to another world.

That's what people do when they face a problem and don't knows where they must search for the answer. They will sharing their problems to other people and asks for helps to solved their problems. But some people doesn't wants to shares their problems to other people because they thinks that they can still gets the ways out and solve their problems. They don't thinks that by sharing their problems, they can gets more solutions from other people so they can adjusts all of the solutions with their situations and find the one that suits their position. But no matter if you shares your problems to other people, if you don't have self controls, you will not get the solutions and you will makes a shorts decision to ends your lives. This is happens to many people who have a big problem in gambling but they can't gets the solutions to ends their problems. They thinks that when they ends their lives, their problems will ends. But that's not right because their family will gets their problem.

There are indeed people who doesnt really like to share up their problems or simply doesnt really like to seek some help and this is why on the time that stress and anxiety consumes them hard then this is where you would really be finding yourself to have this kind of option on taking up your life because you've been thinking that there's no other solution that you could really be able to think off.
You would really be having that kind of option on taking up your life on solving out everything on which we know that it is really just that  waste of life on having something like this.

We do know that when it comes to problems then it would really be having that corresponding solution on which it would really be just just right that you would really be that
thinking about being positive in the way you do live. Dont easily give up and make tolerate with your emotions because you would really be ending up on something like this.

that's true, including our own thoughts. When gambling is done, especially when we get used to it, it will gradually influence our thinking, which will increasingly want to win, because even though initially we gamble for fun, it can change at any time because gambling itself has a strong attraction, therefore it is clear that gambling can causes negative reactions, there are many gamblers who are greatly affected by gambling so that it changes their lives for the worse. As you say, a person's daily activities gradually begin to break down.

Indeed, an addict can recover or improve everything as long as he has awareness and intention as well as strong determination, after that only support from other people or people closest to him, the fact about someone who loses at gambling and ends his life does exist, because this case happened in my environment, where the perpetrator cannot withstand excessive pressure due to his own actions. It is very unfortunate that they take actions that are not the solution, because it will only make things difficult for their families who have to bear all the responsibilities when gambling, including paying off debts that the perpetrator may have incurred while gambling.

This decision is mainly made by those who have lost a lot of money through gambling. Maybe when he gambles and loses, what will he answer to his family. Through various tensions, maybe he comes to his own conclusion that if I end my life, then my problem will be solved. But no, this problem will not be solved like this. So everyone should learn from one's life that gambling can never bring happiness and peace to one's life. Of course, many people play gambling for fun at first. Once they become addicted to gambling, when they become addicted, they will not be able to get out of this gambling game. Due to this, they have to face family problems. They think if I end my life then I get away with it but his family has to suffer the consequences. Everyone should be spared from such a gamble.

This is a simple truth, every stake has 2 different things in common, and they are lose or win, if you lose you should be able to console your self and when you win you should not allow the happiness to carry you away. That's the main reasons why one should always gamble with the money that they can not afford to lose, if you use your whole savings to gamble there's no reward in that even if you win the bet you staked with your whole live savings it's just by luck. You could have lost they game but since you are lucky that time you win know the dangers in it.
Even if you used your life savings on bets and you lost them that doesn't permit you to take your own life because there's is more to come, as you have been growing from small to big you will be able to survive even without money. They said one with life has a hope, anybody that's dead is dead and will not come back alive.

Your statement is really funny friend, but let me try to get you, so you are saying an addicted gambler should go and report himself to a supposed local betting shop manager that he is an addict and they should not let me play?. Well first I would like to clear that type of action can never, I repeat "can never happen" because in the first place the gambler is addicted and it's just saying someone who is drunks works up to the seller and tell him/her that he is drunk and they should not sell for him.

It depends on how a gambler thought. There are some gamblers who get overly concerned over the little words of others. Those gamblers get excited very quickly. At that time they feel human pressure on their own. If a gambler thinks that it is difficult for him to repay the amount he has borrowed naturally, he makes negative decisions to avoid that pressure. Since winning and losing in gambling is a very common occurrence, it should be taken for granted. But disaster strikes when some gamblers begin to think of gambling as a means of earning money and do not have the rules to manage gambling by borrowing money.

In most cases an addicted gambler will never share his addiction with others. Moreover, the addicted gambler never wants to remove from his gambling. It must be difficult to do this especially on your own. I don't think it's common for gamblers to do these things to solve their own addiction. But if it is through a third person then it is credible. But there are gamblers who make no negative comments about their addiction when they are addicted, but when they are out of addiction, they are back to their normal senses.

I think it only depends on the intensity of their condition because I also have a low or medium intensity of addiction before but I'm glad that I managed it. Even though the chance is slim, we should not think about it but instead think that we can overcome it and have a colourful life again without or even with gambling again but this time we need to do it in moderation.

You already said that winning is hard in gambling, so don't say as well that addict gamblers can see the same winners around them. We can get lucky but it's not going to happen often on the same people, if not, well that is suspicious and they can be an asset of the casino to try and lure people.

It would all matters on you on which there are people who are really that be able to control their mind and emotions on the time that they would really be able to have that kind of encounter about gambling addiction.
Its true that it would really be that so damn hard for you to be able to make yourself to get out and it would really be needing that good control and discipline on which we know that this one would really differ into each person. There would really be that times that stress is something that cant be handled no matter how you would really be making yourself stood strong on which stress and anxiety
would be causing up for you to go down and this is something that you should really be watching out.

We do know that its really that hard to get rid of addiction on which it would really be better that you should really be wary on the actions
that you are making. It is really that impossible that you cant be able to determine on which one is good and which one is bad.

Yes the first step is to make a management plan and after that apply a lot of restrictions and also after that put firmness on the restrictions that you have made and then train yourself to stay firm on the precautions that you have made, make sure not to violate the rules that you have made because if you violate then this is the beginning for you to next make the same mistake which in the end you are likely to forget all the plans and restrictions that you have made before.

I understand that there are a lot of temptations that look tempting but this is gambling where most people have a hard time ignoring the temptations they see that eventually lead them to actions that will harm themselves, like you said here that they will find it difficult to impose some boundaries if they are basically too engrossed in gambling which will indirectly lead them to a more impulsive approach to gambling, and the point is that you need to be able to impose a lot of boundaries both in terms of money and time because this is the only action that can prevent you from unwanted things if you want to be involved in gambling in the long run.

Those who doesn't wants to tells or shares their problem to other people thinks that they can find the solutions. They thinks that they doesn't wants to makes other people worry with what happen to them so they decides to finds the solutions by themselves. But sometimes that makes other people worry, especially if other people knows about the problems. But if they can shares their problem to others, they will gets more solutions that can works properly with the situations so they doesn't needs to do many things. They do not have ends their lives because of their problems because they still have a chance to seeks for the solutions so they can solve it.

When we have a problems, we must search for the solutions and if we can share the problem to others, they will helps us to gets the right solutions. We will have a chance to solve the problem with the right solutions and doesn't needs too long to fix and solve it. We do not have to worry with the impact because with sharing to the others, we already thinks about the impacts and will knows how to prevents it.

When they playing gambling, they must allocated their money and always avoids to used much money, especially if they have needs for their family. They must not used the money for their family to playing gambling because that can makes their financial gets a trouble and they can't fills their needs. When they can allocate their money to the right place, they can playing gambling without a problem and if they can limits their gambling activity, they can prevents many problems related to gambling so they can playing gambling without worry. They must prevents the addictions because if they gets addicted to gambling, they will difficult to cure and will needs to asks helps from the others because they will not realizes that they already addicted to gambling. Their family needs to reminds and warn them about being carefully to playing gambling so they don't gets addicted to gambling. The family problems needs helps from the family so they can find the right solutions.

You are right of course it depends on the mentality of a gambler how much stress he can take but in my opinion it is not good to borrow and gamble because it is not good to borrow as much as he can repay the loan. If he borrows in such a way that he cannot pay, then his mental pressure comes and then he takes that kind of decision. But I don't know that one can earn money by gambling by borrowing money, because if I gamble thinking that I will earn money by gambling, then I think I will lose more cash, so the amount of money he borrows will increase and his This type of stress is not right. However, I have seen many gamblers who have lost a lot of cash and have almost become destitute. They even had to sell their houses to borrow money, so this kind of gambling addiction can never be good for anyone.

If indeed the perpetrator can overcome the situation from the impact of his own actions that is good, because we should be able to be responsible for what we do including the results of the actions we take. with those who take dangerous actions such as ending their lives because of the large amount of pressure that occurs due to their own actions, perhaps it is because they are unable and unable to overcome the downturn because of their own actions, and of course that is not true, because the right thing is to have the courage to do so you must dare to be responsible.

It's also impossible for other people to often win at the gambling they do, because in my opinion no one can win often, it's the same as having very strong luck. we must be able to have good self-control because then the gambling we do will not be excessive. Those who gamble and end up committing suicide are probably because they have too high hopes for gambling, so that hope traps themselves in a cycle that makes them suffer. . Excessive expectations invite excessive pressure, resulting in cases of gamblers committing suicide. because the gambling they do often only ends in defeat, even though that is not what they want, so they cannot accept the defeat and it makes them stressed because of the pressure of the expectations it creates.

Not all would really be that good on handling out stress and this is why on the time that they are on such tough situation then they would really be that easily break down when they cant really be able to handle the stress too much on which we know that this is something that would really be just that depending and as said every person is different when it comes to such aspect. If you are someone whose really that having that strong self will and control towards your mind and emotion then its unlikely that problems would really be able to make you decide on having some suicide.Which we do know that this is something that would really be a different story into those people who are really that weak on handling stress and this is why they do really end up into this decision on killing up themselves or having suicide on which it is really just that sad.

On the time that you do gambling then make always yourself that wary about on the situations that you are trying to dive in because we do know that when it comes to losing
money then gambling is something which is really that inevitable.

Well, one of the worst mistakes that can be made on a financial level is that money is lent to play and that is something that we must see, I have always been a supporter because if a person asks for borrowed money it is so that they can attend to an emergency request , or because it is urgently required, then because of this, for it to be used for a casino I do not see it as viable , in this order of ideas things can be very different if they go to the level of doing desperate things like these, because I consider that If a person is going to lend to play, it is because they are desperate and are probably on the verge of becoming addicted, but personally, I never recommend these types of things The only thing I recommend about lending money is in case a medical emergency arises or something that deserves it, I may even happen that it was intended to buy bitcoin, which is not bad , but not for the game.
