Have you committed, or considered committing, illegal act to finance gambling?

[iv4n]

I think it's not a secret that criminals like to gamble, after all old saying is easy come, easy go! They can earn a lot in just couple minutes, but they will spend that and even faster on gambling, they will have to do another "job" to pay their debt and to have money to gamble again. It's a fast and risky life, I knew a couple of them who did all that shit around, some are dead, and others in jail... sad stories if you ask me!
I wouldn't do something bad to have money for gambling. Actually I wouldn't do anything bad if I don't really have to, like my family to not have food, I would think about committing some crime, but for gambling definitely not!

Others end up homeless. Like my neighbor who sleeps in the car, not his car by the way but just a car that happens to be open on the streets.

This is probably not the first case we can see in the next few months, there could be more later when neighbors turning on neighbors as lockdown will keep the tension. his isn't going to be easy for the jobless and a gambler at the same time. Hope he doesn't have a toddler at home.

Have you ever carried out an illegal act just to finance your gambling?

No, and this is an honest answer. Though some may not believe in me but this is true.
Since I only get to know to gamble when the time I earn money for myself. The only stuff I did before was I borrow money from a friend, which includes lying on where I will be using it, and selling my own stuff just to satisfy myself in gambling.

Same is my answer as I also never commit any illegal work only to play gambling or do anything else. I am dead sure that if we play gambling from theft money, we will definitely lose that money and that money will not bring good things to our lives. Even I never took loan to play gamble because this is another risky thing and i avoid it.

Well said, but wait; you mean any money gotten illegally can't generate profit for a gambler? Oh, this could be real or not in some cases. Believe me or not, 97% gamblers are those who have gotten their wealth illegally, many have gotten through cheating the platforms they gambled. This reminds me about some forum members who have been accused of cheating gambling platforms through diverse means. Illegally acquired funds to gamble doesn't guarantee the gambler failure or success as gambling depends on strategy and luck.

[hahay]

Honestly never do anything illegal just to gamble, because one thing that I believe when we lose or mean no longer has anything that can be used for capital gambling, then as much as possible I will stop or maybe will continue to try to take advantage of every opportunity that exists like maximize the capital gained from the faucet if the site does provide it, take part in competitions etc. because basically we can still maximize the skills we have to restore difficult situations like this. So in this case it is actually about self-control and a healthy mindset, if you no longer have control and your mindset has been controlled by greed, then illegal actions or criminal activities will be very possible for you to do.

Well, I heard so many stories about stealing money or any pawnable stuff that they perhaps convert to cash just to continue their gambling activity. I can consider them that they belong to gambling addiction, they are desperate to make any crimes just have money and urge gambling activity. This is not really a good idea, --think before you act. How about your family, your parents, or even your child once they heard that you are in jail because you rob/steal money, not for them. Indeed, they perhaps experience bullying to someone.

[Becky666]

Why on earth would you expect anyone here to simply confess their sins just like that and ruin their reputation in this forum?

It makes sense  I guess there is someone out there but there is no way he will confess his illegal act here, you are right it will surely ruin his reputation. To OP: Your thread is nice but I don't know if someone will confess it here, maybe if he will make an alternate account for confession use only.........

Some have already shared their involvement in the act which was done out of ignorance and have since changed for the good. We're all different here and don't know each other in a real  world, even though there is, they're handful individuals. Nothing like ruining ones reputation sincerely speaking, share information with slight difference from the real can't ruin someone reputation. This can go along way to help others correct their wrong doings and change for the better.

Your intentions are great and your heart seems to be in the right place op, but you need to understand that most people wouldn't want to let others know about their past issues especially with random strangers.

The ones who did confess talked about minor issues. It is difficult for anyone to simply discuss their major issues just like that.

[LogitechMouse]

Don't understand why I would commit illegal act like stealing or defrauding others just to them gamble with the funds. That's just like stealing from MR A and giving it to MR B. There's no assurances in gambling so it simply means I'll be relying on luck which isn't just reasonable considering the source of my income assuming I did get it from the illegal means although I won't ever think about doing such act.

To have some pleasure, to retrieve their money, to fill their happiness thru gambling.

That are just 3 of the reasons why people are doing this and you will never understand them unless you do what they are doing. Since you aren't doing it, you will never understand it . Just like a topic, you will never learn if you will not try to go inside it and read and understand. TBH, I can't blame those stupid gamblers who are doing this kind of things just to be happy or just to have funds to gamble but there are many ways to earn money. They will just learn if they caught in the act and will be punished seriously or heavily.

There's a mental issue with that matter, he can't accept the fact that he lost and also that money he lost might be the last that he had to sustain his family need during this lockdown.

I can't remember that I've done such crazy acts for gambling out of desperation. We have always reminded most of the members here that when you gamble, always do it with the amount you can accept to lose.

That must be what he experienced. It's a desperate time for people with no jobs and no money for the food on the table and yet tempted to gamble because he thought luck in on his side. Its always been the case for gamblers, luckily for most of us we don't do that as we do our gambling online. You know when stomach growls, it's hard to bear that even the most moral person will be tested.

It's special this time because everyone is in lockdown and there's a need to look for survival.

Yet, the guy gambled the probable last money that he have.

[Sadlife]

Haven't been through that situation and i dont want to become that guy who bets everything including properties and other assets even steal just to fullfill the urge to play. That's why i play gambling in a moderate manner, not playing with huge cash because i know i will end up wanting it back affecting my life and possibly even my family and friends.

[kotajikikox]

This will never cross my mind Mate because i know that this will me to another illegal doings if i start this kind of activities just to gamble.
I have been playing since i am young but i never cheat for just wanted to recover my losses though sometimes i did cheating when we are playing but that is being a child or young.

for sure this situation will teach the man how to handle right His gambling habits and will never do the same thing again.

[AniviaBtc]

He's just a public victim here. Although, many wouldn't like to share their experience with us on this, because of their reputation, but will appreciate the sincere response from forum members in this regard.

This is already stated in the OP though.

I would not confess anything about this because, to be honest, I did not commit anything bad like steal except lying though. But at that time, I am just a kid. After all of that, I don't have any extra things I do to gamble since I could get some free satoshis to gamble in a lot of sites these days.

Sometimes people lie because they want to make things better and don't let anything worse happen. If it is necessary to confess something just to make things better and better, you should tell it as soon as possible before its too late. In gambling, I don't commit any actions against the rules and regulations because I always avoid conflict and problems in all circumstances, it is not that easy to handle problems most especially if you don't mean it. Gambling is really composed of a lot of rules that a lot of customer must follow so that they don't encounter and hard time playing in their platform. The only thing I committed bad, is when I'm lied to my wife about the money I spent in gambling and probably I'll get punished.

I have proper mindset and I never been in situation where I think about doing something illegal or bad just for mr te have money that I can use in gambling. For those people who did it, it is sad to say but they are not in the proper mindset and they need professional advices. Even if I play gambling often, there is a single time that crossed in my mind to do bad things just to increase my capital. I know many legal ways to increase my money so why I will do bad things?

Have you ever carried out an illegal act just to finance your gambling? Remember this: many have stolen from their parents or from friends to finance their gambling, were you caught or not?  Share your experience with the us and equally advise when necessary.

If I'm not mistaking I think I have done something similar in my childhood but as an adult, don't think I have ever or would ever think about doing such act that are illegal just to go waste them by gambling with the funds. When I was still a kid, the idea made sense to me but now that I'm quite older therefore it doesn't just make sense to do something like that.

The story involved me stealing my friends charge (money) to go gamble on a game that gives you an opportunity to wins balloons as oruzy that will be used to spend the Christmas. Although I won few smaller ones but that wasn't my target as the biggest price which was the biggest balloon in the prize section was not winnable and cost me all my money including that which I stole from a friend.

So far i havent experience this thing since i never intend to go overboard into things which are supposedly not to be done specially when we do talk about money and gambling.If you dont have any funds into your pocket
then dont ask for more because you would really go into things which are inappropriate for you to do.Dont let that your greed would control you because you will surely go into illegal things.
I do quite understand if you do get some money into your loved ones but when we do talk already on bigger aspect or crime then thats an another story.

[Gandam23]

There's no doubt that some of us here in the gambling world has already commit some illegal doings just for us to finance our wants to play or gamble just because of the passion on the playing or even the addiction on it. There is a little example that may crime can be said, getting money from your parents pockets without any permission is one of the small illegal act that we can say. The thing is we don't do it anymore just to finance our vices just like gambling.

It's a severe addiction when a gambler starts to commit things that he shouldn't just because he wants to sustain his gambling satisfaction. It's never been a good idea to come into that point just because you have nothing left anymore.

Use this as an example and lesson that we have to apply responsible gambling. Because if we don't, someone can turn into this resort if he doesn't have money anymore and if he can't stop his emotion to get back his losses.

[mersal]

The criminal activity not related to the activity like gambling, its just related to their behaviour so asking this can make gambling as bad thing in others point of view.People steal or loot for many reasons but when they get caught they will say this as an excuse.Only gamble if you can afford to lose money or just work until you can afford for it.

[jhonjhon]

If you are still in a good mind, it surely nobody would take such an evil thing to curse themselves. May some gambling addicts they'll be doing such cruelty to fund them in gambling but I can't imagine to myself doing for the sake just to continue my addiction.
I should make a decision that I could never feel regrets after. Committing such a crime will end up our happy life to an end.

[maydna]

No, I never carried out an illegal act just to makes me satisfy to playing gambling or finance my gambling because I know that can make me get in jail. Yes, he is a victim, but that is because his own mistake, and if he can control himself, he will not do that such thing because he will think that what he did will break the law. That is what we will get if we lose control of ourselves because once we lose control, that means, we can lose everything. And that proves from that man, and he wants to recover his losses, so he steals the money.
