@Philippines An addicted gambler gone wild

[audaciousbeing]

In as much as I dont support his action as a gambler but I still feel there is more to the reason for his actions rather than gambling alone but the ambling is just being pronounced in other to send a message to the public on how 'bad' gambling is. A 42 year old man who is old enough to be a grand father exhibits that attitude means there is something more they are not telling us. Afterall, he is not the only one who is addicted to gambling and I am sure if he had won and made a lot of money nobody would call it addiction rather they say he is lucky with taking risks.

He was addicted in gambling and he got a lot of problems, he was kicked out of his job and he owes a lot of money to the people. No more reasons for him to live? He can't handle such situations if I'm on his situation maybe I can't sleep day and night but I won't do this thing as I will just ask those people whom I owe money and won't be ranting like this.

There are these kinds of people who are weak willed and easily give up on themselves when things turn for the worse. I think this guy has too many responsibilities but got himself too deep into gambling and the pressure after losing a lot was too much. And this guy is quite well-to-do to begin with. Just goes to show that gambling addiction really can ruin lives even for those people who have money to spare.

The ironic thing is that he also worked for the department of finance, perhaps he had a way to get more money than a regular person would?
I mean, he's 4 million in debt... Must've been really addicted to have let it escalate like that.

The article doesn't mention if it was 4 million dollars or Philipino currency.

Addicted indeed since he already do criminality stuffs on such addiction. I do believe that his 4 million peso in debt since if you escalate or assume on 4m usd then its really worth for him to steal but sadly he ended up on burning himself. This situation should be pictured out by most gambling addicts out there that treat this as a lesson and they will surely come to this point if they wont stop on playing excessive gambling.

It is Philippines Peso. No amount, not even a billion can worth more than the lives of those who died. This that happened is the reason why casinos should also be implementing the law for responsible gaming wherein gamblers who tend to be very hooked should be limited or banned in the first sign of addiction.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I have seen gambling addicts but the maximum addiction in gambling I have seen is for these people to burn themselves and not doing criminality and other illegal stuff (maybe a bit of cheating, borrowing money and not paying but this is normal in an addicted gambler). This situation shows the extreme risks that comes from gambling without a plan, or without a limit and without knowing when to quit. I think anyone who can't think about anything else but gambling in his life should definitely look for help from gamblers anonymous website or other help centers.

[bhadz]

I won't support any violence related to gambling. The suspect is out of his mind, why he needs to include innocent people? This incident makes the image of gambling though it's only for those people that aren't into gambling. Their first thought about gambling will end up like this and will warn people to not end the same thing.

Exactly. This should be on every rehab session so that people who want to get help could see this along with other examples. Addiction can be very serious problem where person could ruin his life and life of his family. This Philippine guy took his craziness to a tragic level. In my home town we had situation where man working in the bank was high roller gambler, spend enormous amount of banks money but they caught him.

If you are an addicted gambler, do something to stop it or you might be like this poor guy.

Addiction in gambling is really hard to get rid of it most of the time your temper is more attractive to any gambling once your a gambler you will die a gambler and you can't change that tho the greedisness to earn back what you've already lose chasing after your lose will be result as your become poorer and get nothing at the end untill you will lose your mind thinking where you gonna get money for your self.

I disagree, for me its a case to case basis. Other's who really sink below of gambling addiction have already recovered and didn't get the faith of the killer. So we should generalized that "once a gambler, you will die a gambler". This guy went overboard and no one to talk about his addiction that's why he did what he think is the right way. But I believed that if he got the support in time, he won't commit this crime.

It's sad to see because another human being died just because of an addiction that shouldn't be there in the first place. The thing that is hard is that you are against yourself and nothing shall ever interfere with you because it's only you who can stop the temptation. Better decide for yourself and be happy with what you have now.

This is no joke that 42 year old has a bank debt worth 4 million and being addicted to gambling is wrong but getting addicted to gambling with someone else funds is surely not acceptable. I don't really know how will the vank recover their funds but all gamblers please gamble with your own funds not with a loan

This is absolutely no joke. And yes his debt with the banks may have also contributed to him mentally that's why he do this crazy things. As far as the bank is concern, this is considered lost already. For all we know more people has bigger loans than that and the banks will just simple ignored them. Because they can easily recovered it somewhere. His gambling is really uncontrollable, and I hope everyone should take this as lessons learn and not go to situation of this person.

Agree with you this is surely a lesson for all the gamblers out there who are addicted and are slowly losing all the money they have. This was just a bank loan i have on different crime serials and one was so shocking a random guy was mudered people suspected everyone but finally found out he was mudered so a gambler could get some funds

This news has been making rounds online fir a while now and this just goes to show how addiction can ruin a man's life. The sad part is that 38 innocent souls also went with the gunman who eventually committed suicide. ISIS even went to take responsibility to sow more terror though it's proven that it's really a case of a gambling addict who went broke and gone mad. He actions of one addicted gambler basically affected a lot of lives.

It must be a lesson for us that we must not gamble if we can't afford it. The man is already desperate on her action but the conclusion is why did he steal chips from the casino but suddenly commit suicide.

This is sad and like everyone is saying it's a lesson for all of us , don't gamble what you can't loose and don't borrow to gamble. There are actually people who are not fit to gamble and I think the gaming commissions in our respective countries should check these things and allow only mentally fit people into our casinos.

If you keep checking on this forum you can find everywhere some big lesson from all types of gamblers. Still I do see many new people are getting into gambling and getting suffered by addiction.

It means no one will be ready to learn from others mistakes but want to experience gambling by themselves for any cost. If they follow at least what some pro-gamblers suggesting here, they would have avoided many miserable gambling problems.

Because gambling is attracting them by making them forgetting what will happen tomorrow. That is the reason gamblers are getting loan just for the reason of entering gambling. Responsible person will never go for gambling, even if he will go for it definitely will not get loans for this purpose.

Like you said before getting addicted also they are behaving like addicted gambler just for the reason of experiencing the gambling thrills. In this case no one can help them.

still a question of how will handle this problem we do have differences in each of human being so if he take this way we can't blame him as he alone decided to do whatever he wants addiction in all forms if its a bad thing like drugs liquor and gambling most of the people who's got addicted to it
have a problem with the way they think and its the price and what this person did is just an example how bad addiction can be.

The suspect ended up killing himself. And it's getting worst these days, too much addiction will really kill lives. I think he has a plan but his plan went wrong, he used to gamble without noticing on how much his debt. This act should not be tolerated for sure casino's will now have extreme security and will check each gamblers entering to their establishment.

Gambling is just a way to keep on spending hence I am not wondering on seeing how big his debts are. When a gambler, goes out of control, we may see this type of stories happening. Getting into gambling is not a big mistake but getting addicted to it must be a lifetime mistake.

If you do that mistake then recovering from that mistake will never be possible that is the reason many gamblers are committing suicide.

Gambling has ruined a lot of lives and this is not the first time we see someone take his own life for the sake of a quick get out of all of this debt in gambling. Only thing that get this worst is that how he is bold with his actions. Attacking a casino that cause other people to die is really incapable of being fully understood by us. Only the gambler can answer to all his action. Unfortunately, we will not find out as he is already dead.

Right, if a person is not careful and did not manage to avoid getting addicted in the game it is possible for him to be a very dangerous person. I have watched many news reports about gamblers who have lost their mind and have committed dangerous acts resulting to their own deaths. Having many debts and thinking how could they managed to solve all of their problems had made them a very unreasonable people.

What happened in the Philippines proved that even innocent lives can be taken if an addicted gambler does an immoral action for his own sake. With the death of the gambler, his family is the one who is suffering from all of his bad actions. I could hardly imagine that his kids are being bullied because of what he did.

It's the temper that is needed to watch out especially if the person is easily getting irritated, that's a sign of an addicted gambler. If you are losing, I think it's okay to get frustrated or mad but not all the time, some people have their issues that they do that because they wanted to have an outlet for their anger. I hope that no one would come to that point, trying to get back at the casino knowing that they are addicted.

Temper is one of the emotions that a gambler must control and this addicted gambler can't take it any longer and he did killed even innocent people.
