Really sad, please do not get upset in gambling investment. Simple, take it as easy game not worthy than your life...

Self control is the key to avoid this type of incidents. He became greedy after a big win of $60k and wanted to earn more but he lost the money instead, he tried to gamble again to win what was lost but wasn't successful, even to his death he had not recovered the money he lost. This story should serve as an eye opener to gamblers for them to realize that greed is very difficult if not controlled and if you will let greed take over then it might cost your life.

From the article - “If someone is sitting at same machine for 16 hours do you go over to them and say ‘mate are you OK’, or do you go and get him another drink?”
This is very scary stuff and I dont see how the casino can not tilt their head in shame here. 

It appears the club may be facing disciplinary hearing

If you know you don't have good self control in the first place, it's a good idea to just avoid gambling as a whole. Gambling's obviously not for everybody, and it can be extremely hard to stop especially once you've buried yourself in losses.

Greed can take over in trading too, especially with highly leveraged margin trades, which are essentially gambling with 100x leverage. Greed can ruin you almost anywhere.

It's been clear that the "gambler" involved needs serious attention. He can't control now himself because it's beyond his control as he already falls on the trap.

We can't just easily say to a gambler that they need to control their emotion. It's human nature and all gamblers will experience that. Some became successful dealing with it and some don't. The one triggered the inability to control the said gambler is his experienced of big winnings couple of times.

His mother knows it and does anything to put a stop to her son including seeking assistance from the said casinos but didn't turn out to help at the end. Physical casinos should be responsible for every gambler playing inside their premises especially playing for a long time as they are implementing a responsible gaming system.

A true example of greed and being a real gambling addict. No need to read those articles because the title said it all. You see, there's no progress in gambling even though you spend a lot of money and time in it. If he bought some ETH or BTC on the first hour then im sure he has even a cent after the 13 hour mark.

Moderation is the key to slowly control their emotion when in gambling since it's sole purpose is to entertain the player and not to make money from it. Depression is not that easy to handle especially if you haven't felt any happiness in your life it will let yourself drown from doing something that tends you to not stop until you won't make it.

[kawetsriyanto]

It is very unfortunate, someone become not aware that gambling is not only a source to get money and we shouldn't take too much attention with that by caring less with your life. That's why when we see our family members or close friends become addicted to gambling, we need to give advises and take serious attention to them. Addicted gamblers must be hard to control their selves and sometimes think unrealistically when they lose the game. Therefore, the people closest to them will have a big role to make them be aware of the bad habit.

This guy really did all-in. That´s just crazy
Gambling is for fun. You are paying to have fun. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You shouldn´t lose your life or your life savings in the days in lose. Neither become a millionaire in the days you win. Only pain someone will find doing that...

[Botnake]

13 hours? That clearly shows he is addicted in gambling, I can even barely gamble more than 1 hour  and still I can feel the pain when losing money.
We have to build that discipline within as gambling addiction is proven will affect your life and might end your life unexpectedly.

Gamble wisely, don't focus on it as if it's your source of living, but treat it like the way it should be treated, and that is for entertainment only.

[Shinpako09]

I admit, I'm also addicted but not to the point that i'm going to end my life. Aside from luck, controlling your emotion is one of the key in gambling. Your ended up doing worst if you can't like raising your bets, not following your strategy, ended up lossing and mad. That's why others suggestion is only play what you can afford to lose.

[tsaroz]

You are correct. It's emotions that ruins a gambler. People tend to bet more aggressively when they lose. They tend to leave behind any plans or strategy and gamble anything they have left all at once in hope of recovering their loss. Which ultimately leads to more loss.
Gambling should be done responsibly if you don't want to ruin your life. Make a plan. Allocate a budget for your gambling needs and don't get too greedy. If you lost a lot, think that's it's a bad day and come back in another.

Her mother and wife went to that place just to ask the manager to ban Gary. I really feel bad when things like this happens.  
Gary sure became addicted and even asked her mom for a loan so that he gamble.

13 hours? That clearly shows he is addicted in gambling, I can even barely gamble more than 1 hour  and still I can feel the pain when losing money.

Yes he is, if you try to read the whole article it's a very sad story on how his family knew that he is.

It's okay to be upset because it's a normal emotion of frustration but don't do ridiculous things.

This is a sad story but it's the reality, many people suffering from gambling because of their greed, once they hit the big number they tend to want more and more, and you can't blame anyone or asked anyone to stop the habit, you need to stop addiction from yourself, self control in gambling is an important role to prevent you from addiction

[janggernaut]

Thats because he was too greedy and addicted with gambling. When you read the link on OP,you can know if he was won $60k 2 years ago and after that he become addicted with gambling, then before he died, he took a loan and hoping to win again, but he lost it all and this is he left

By the time he died, there were only debts left.

Never ever take a loan for gambling

Taking a loan just to gamble is not a good sign and that means you are going into trouble. Winning in gambling is not a sure feat so once you lost, you will face more problems than you ever had. People should know their limits and do not expect high hopes that you you will hit the jackpot.

[samputin]

This is so sad. But that's what we always say around here—self control. It is so necessary for someone who does not want to be trapped in the addiction brought about by gambling. Maybe his family or friends who knew what he was going through should've helped him immediately. Maybe this didn't happen. Well, it's already there. I hope this will serve as a lesson for everyone who doesn't want to end up like him.

Another problem to be created since you failed to win using that lend money, not sure why there's really cases that happened inside this activities.

Controlling your budget and limit your bankroll not being abused and not to lose more money inside your gambling activities, no need to barrow any
amount of money and take the risk using it from your gambling activities.

Its very unhealthy, though most of the gamblers can play beyond that time and for sure most of them already experience to play whole day. This is the reason why Casinos are inside the Hotel because in case the gamblers need to rest they will just checked-in on the hotel inside. This is a poor result of being too addict in gambling, sad to hear that news.

[target]

Seasoned gambler already knew this but for the new and emotional getting even is a matter of time. This is the reason why I don't gamble on casinos because I felt betting on and on specially on DICE because after all I can just click almost every second. Sports betting is quite good because well I can't bet on every basketball match when I don't know which team has the possibility of winning. I guess I can control my emotions in sports betting.
