Have anyone tried to stop gamblers from losing while they keep on wagering.

You did a great job responding to an "addicted" gambler but unfortunately, his mind is stronger than your words that is why he faced what he must face and it is losing all of his money.

Sometimes, you just need to leave behind an addicted gambler because there are times that instead of letting them stop they will confront you and say bad things. I didn't tried this in real life because I didn't saw anybody who is gambling in my community but I know the feeling of a person trying to stop a gambler for losing more money but the problem is they want to recover their losses so it would be beneficial for you as a helper to just let him do what he wants. It isn't your money though so let him use his money.

The desire to stop gambling must come from within the person otherwise even if you help him and he stops for the time being once you are not around he will begin to gamble again, I have tried to stop some people to keep gambling their money away and as you may guess they did not respond very favourably to it, they told me it was their money and that I had no right to meddle in their lives, and they were right, so I had no option but to watch them self-destruct and I could do nothing to stop them.

One of the most influential is gambling many people want to play gambling because they seek fun and most of them satisfied they are desired to play a lot of games like dice, poker and more. I'm in a field of sports betting because it is easier to analyze the information and data came from the Internet and many more sources that we can gather and concluded which team will win the game. But not only me I have a lot of friends that gamble too in sports and many more games even they wages a lot of money I cannot stop them because I trust them too that they will win they wage of they lose I still support them and encourage to continue if they want or else take a break so they can easily recover and think about first also to avoid having a wrong decision in playing.

I've been into gambling for a long, my major focus was on sports betting. From sports betting earned good, but I wasn't able to make the success continue. I lost out of greed, further my focus turned towards casinos where we get the instant results and doesn't want to wait as we wait on sports betting till a match gets over. By this time I was entirely new to it, and lost big. If someone have contacted me I could've stopped it for a while and lowered my loses.

Recently while playing dice, I saw a person who was wagering with large funds to recover the loss. By the time he has lost part of what I have lost. I texted him my experience, and suggested to stop it before things go out of his hands. He didn't responded, finally he lost everything. Have any of you got such experience.

This was sad. We should not ended up as that kind of person, we should be responsible enough if we want to play gamble. I think it is about greed, he wanted to earn more money but the other thing happens were he wa lose and broke. First things first we should have a certain budget for playing gamble so that we can know what was our limit. Make sure that we should not exceed to that limit because if that will happen, it is possible for to have debts or worse become an addict.

As of now I dont have experience with that because I prefer playing on online casino than traditional casinos out there. One thing I really want about online is the anonymity we can get from it unlike playing in real casino where you can expect someone to run towards you if you win a lot of money. On the other hand, online casinos give as freedom to play in our own convenience and this was a plus for me.

Of coursse there gamblers are now not involve gambling to not continuously losing, for me its a good way to do  to prevent more loses and to get easily recover from it. I think it's better to rest for a while those gamblers who encounter a huge loses, maybe it's better to them to not be involve in betting to help them to save their money.

My wife is the best about this, I do not stop anyone but she stops me very well and not even for the reasons you imagine it would be. She is always against me gambling because her father was a big gambler himself, but her father was a big business owner so it didn't really bothered the family.

you are very lucky having such wife,and also she is lucky having you because you are listening to Her for stopping you in right timing lol hahaha

However, she saw that and quite against me gambling as well and figured out a system where she isn't saying "stop gambling" or anything which probably would still work but she found a system where she says "whatever you wager, I will also spend for myself".

nice agreement is she asking right?at least you have a choice and she also have a benefits from the choices,either keep the money or spend it double ?she is bright

So, when I wager 10 bucks, that means I am actually spending 20 dollars instead, when I wager 100 bucks, that is 200 dollars! .

then in that case?you are really in gambling because either way you are risking more even you are not starting to bet and know what?thats very hard to decide if i am in your shoes.

[boyptc]

If I will be in that situation and encountered a guy who's keep on losing but never have the nerve to stop.

I'll talk to him for a while and ask him to relax a bit and maybe some other day luck will come. But this is just for one time and if he resists and just ignore my words, I don't have responsibility to him. I've warned him already, one warning shall be enough.

LOL.. you would not do that if you are a gambler, just let the gambler do their thing, otherwise, you'll be ban in a casino.
There are people who really easily lose control, you are not in a business to tell them what to do, as a gambler, what you have to do is just to gamble.

Let them learn from their own mistake,

One talk would be enough and I'm not encouraging him to stop because I'm not in the position to do that.

I'm not making any commotion so there's no way for them to do that to me if I'm only giving a piece of advice base on the question of OP.

The emotions that gives him the aggressiveness to try higher bets in order to recover his losses is such an act where addictions will start inside him, You did a great Job OP as giving some reminders is also enough to inform him that he's already taking too much of time and money. Whatever happened to him is no longer in your hands as he freely decide for his own fate. There's no wrong to share and if he/she takes it as a good advise he will benefits from your past experienced.

Being a responsible gambler needs to start with your own control, no one can correct you or help you but your own self. Setting right amount of
funding and stop exceeding from your allocated budget saves you a lot.

I have done this to my friends as once we had gone to casino and he was quite enthusiastic about gambling and he had already lost quite a good amount and was further gambling. I had requested once before but he did not listened and again he was wagering and I told him not to play finally and he listened to me . Later on he said thank you for making him understand at that point .

Good thing he listen up yet there are people or friends that doesnt care on anyones advise or tips when they are already the middle of gambling.
Just like my friend who do make such bets big time on a gambling place just like theres no tomorrow and i do advise that he should refrain such
betting amount behavior because it isnt really that right if you let yourself being dragged with your emotions because these kind of impulsive bets
will surely mess you up if it turns out to be a bad luck.After such event, he do end up on having an empty pocket and regretting on why he had done such thing.

[wozzek23]

I believe that most of the people here are into online gambling and this is the reason they are unable to stop any gambler who are continuously losing. I am also an online gambler but I do interact with my friends through skype and telegram more frequently and once I came to know about one of my friends who was continuously gambling and losing, I tried to stop him by advising him. Not sure what he did after that but I observed some changes in the activities that also through chat.

Advises are cost free and we may make them use of by giving to somebody who is deliberately needing that. I believe this community must be doing a great job for giving people many good suggestions and also giving gamblers few chances to realize their gambling activities and addiction levels. We are doing for some reason and it will be definitely contributing for the needy people one day or other.

Another bad experience of my lifetime happened just fee minutes back. Lost all my hard earned money on gambling. I had around $1050 worth bitcoin and $110 worth ethereum. Started to gamble for fun, but the excitement made me go for bigger amount and made the $1050 turn $2000 in a short and went for $500 and ended with $0 Balance.

Further out of the pain started to bet with the $110 worth ethereum out of frustration and made it $3000, but the same happened as before and now sitting with empty wallet.

Already I know I'm addicted, just sharing to make people have a right exit strategy. I'm a big sufferer out of gambling, financially as well as mentally. Hope someone gets benefitted out of my story, and stay safe..

[Twentyonepaylots]

Dude, you gotta learn how to control yourself. Nobody's out there with the sole purpose of helping you out of your gambling addiction. You have to understand that. It's your own money, and unless it's an SO or a special person important to you, you can't expect people just watching your back telling you to stop gambling when you're at the mire. The only one who can help you is you. Let that sink in.

It was on a game at Stake.com? Which one? Winning $3000 with only $110 is insane and I know it's hard to refrain from continuing to gamble when you start to win such big prizes but you should have stopped before reaching this high amount in my opinion. When odds are high at a gambling game, it's better to stop once the initial bankroll has been recovered and you're in profit. Targeting small profits is usually less risky than gambling with high expectations.

Guess the first strategy to trying to exit so that you don't wager too much is to put only a small amount of balance in your wallet. That way, if you still want to play, you'd still have to take the time to transfer and wait for the funds to register, letting you have ample enough time to actually process the stupid move you're currently doing. Probably taking a long walk could clear up your mind, and if you still want to play, well that's actually good imo, since you thought about it for a bit and still decided to play. As long as you were clear of mind when making that decision, I think its fine.

However, she saw that and quite against me gambling as well and figured out a system where she isn't saying "stop gambling" or anything which probably would still work but she found a system where she says "whatever you wager, I will also spend for myself".

So, when I wager 10 bucks, that means I am actually spending 20 dollars instead, when I wager 100 bucks, that is 200 dollars! Which makes anything under 2.00 odds really not worth it. You want to know the worst part? If I ever win, we will spend the win together, this time it is not just her, but together which is nice of course but I can't even keep a bankroll this way. She literally made me start gambling with small change amounts thanks to this method .

This made me came to a conclusion that you're one of those irresponsible immature gamblers out there. No offense but if you're a guy who has his own family, you should be the one who is responsible on making money and budgeting it for your expenses, thankfully you always listen to your wife, but what is she's not there to warn you about your gambling addiction? for sure you're gonna end up starving every single day with your kids, that's the worst case scenario.

That's why it is important to know your limits, set up the only amount you can afford to lose. For example is $20, wether you win or lose that amount, quit in an instant.

Haha this is a great strategy for sure, efficient and creative! 

As for the topic itself, we live in a selfish world so not many people will bother to help strangers. So, it falls down to the person to be responsible or not. At GoodLuckMate we always offer honest info and use all those necessary warnings that players should play responsibly, not spend money they don't have, and to consider gambling a way of having fun rather than a way of making money (unless we're talking about professional gamblers but they are a different story). And we always give bonus rules for all those 'free' offers so our readers don't misunderstand things and then end up spending tons of money or have misguided expectations. No honest business would want to make money from people who can't control their spending.

I believe the UK has some strict regulations regarding this overspending or generating debt at least. They made operators responsible for checking players' income as well as banned credit card gambling to prevent debt generation. New restrictions are introduced regularly. Some of them are welcomed with opposition from those who do play responsibly but they do help problem gamblers I guess.

I also agree with some people who mentioned that they don't want anyone bothering them while gambling as they follow strategies and possibly have a spending budget. So, in reality, you never know who's having a problem and who's handling the situation. I would say try to help people you are 100% sure have a problem or otherwise don't meddle in other people's business. But again, everything varies depending on the situation in the end.

The idea is right because we all know that the one who can save or help ourselves are ourselves. Making decision must be good and how to control yourself. But I guess it also helpful if you would help other because in that case you are becoming a support for them so that they might have the courage and a high chance possibility of controlling themselves and they will be happy because the will onow that they have someone in that kind of situation.

I gamble on a lot of sites and I see a lot of High Rollers gambling a lot of money every day, but you get the odd person who goes bust almost every day. They might win a lot of money and you think that will be the end of it, but no..... within a hour or two they are just back at it and in no time they bust everything.

People make fun of these people and some even encourage them to go "All In" .....just because they want to see those people fail. I on the other hand will push them to withdraw or vault some of their winnings... because I know, if you continue.. the "House" always wins.

The main problem with online gambling is that you don't really have a chance to interact with your fellow gamblers. It is more of a thing you do alone and from friends I tend to only hear after while if they win big. As for losses my friends don't tell me too much, so it's hard to know if they are up or down a lot. I remember the good old times when casinos were still open. Whenever I saw a friend win big in roulette or black jack I told him to save some money and not keep gambling with all of it.
