I did this once when i was in college when i did steal my Classmates scientific calculator(way back then that unit is valuable and expensive)and i sold to other student just to continue my Playing. and i hate this but it already happened in the past. 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.
Nope that is wrong because if you did this action just to gamble then you already admit being that guy they are thinking of. 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.
another wrong because that is the last reason this people will do to admit that they are stealing just to gamble.

No, I never came to the point that I have to steal from someone just to gamble. I did steal from my mom and dad when I was in high school but that was to play online games in a cafe and not used to gamble. What I have learned from my experience is, never engage in something that you cannot afford, if you want to gamble, make sure you have your money to gamble with, same with other vices such as smoking, drinking, shopping and a lot more.

I have never personally come to that level but I know people that have done really bad deeds like selling their home furniture to gamble.This can happen frequently if a person is addicted to anything but I would compare this to drug addicts as they do the same kind of actions when they are desperate to get their drug.The only solution to that is professional help.

No, I don't. And I have no plan of doing it in the future. Why would I risk myself for gambling? Yes, it's possible and it happens in real life but I don't want to be like them. Those gamblers who do this kind of stuff are already gambling addicts. They want to gamble but they don't have enough funds. I would not destroy the trust of my family and friends for gambling. And in fact, I don't really gamble that much to think of that kind of act. I only gamble when I have extra money.
You know, people who get caught are always trying to get sympathy because they have been caught. Even if he succeeded in stealing, he's still not sure if he can get back what he lost.

I have done small acts of stealing coins from my mother's purse or father's pocket. Some of it may have actually been used in small children's gambling games or in funfair games. But that's all there is to my experience committing illegal acts to have some fun. It was not really to finance my gambling activities. It just so happened that sometimes we little kids had some games that required bets. In my adult life, I never stole any amount of money to finance gambling.

It never came into my mind even in the early stage when I was so actively gambling, and though I'm losing money I'm thankful I still maintain a sound mind to make the right decision. AFAIR, the worst thing I did was just to borrow money that I am not sure I'll be able to pay on time if I lose it in gambling, but gladly I was able to pay all my debts.

I meant to say that not everyone who have gambling addiction will steal from others when they don't have money to satisfy their gambling urge so it means the thing not related with gambling its just depends on every individual.Anyway I never tried to steal anything from anyone for any reason as far as I know,

I will give you my honest answer, because I have not yet done anything illegal to finance my gambling needs. That said, if someone had actually done some illegal act, then I don't think that he will reveal it here. Despite whatever anonymity given by this platform, there is always a chance that your online activity may be traced back to you. So don't expect much from this thread.

No one will bust you from the offline world anyway. I have done several things but not for gambling purposes though. I have stolen money from my father's wallet and has sold the watch he gave to me also. He was mad but after telling him the purpose, he seems to be a reasonable man after all. Parents I guess are very forgiving to their kids. He may not forgive me if I stole money and the purpose is for gambling because that would mean a deeper problem already.

If you are still in a good mind, it surely nobody would take such an evil thing to curse themselves.
Well, you are correct. But I think here no one will ever confess with the sin they made and may ruin his own reputation or even his life by losing credibility. People are aware that for a single wrong move they will do it may affect not only his own life but also his family and even friends. In my case, --I know that I am not a perfect person there are sinful things that I did sometimes it may be intentional or sometimes not but never in my entire life that I will do things that might hurt anyone nor do unlawful things just to finance my gambling life. What I usually do is every time I receive my pay from work I will allocate a certain amount that I will use for playing gambling whether I will win or not but once the amount I allocate for gambling had been consumed then I will stop playing and tell myself it's not my lucky day yet.

No one would really tend to confess on here but i dont think that it would really be that risky if someone do commit such act since people can easily make use of VPN and it would still need lots of process or does take time on tracking everything so i will say that it is somewhat pointless.You can tell things if you want but this is just something personal. committing illegal act just to satisfy your gambling urge? then its just like suicide imho.

IMO, this won't portray gambling negatively, rather reshaping many gamblers fond doing things under the disguise of being a gambler illegally. Personally, I can vouch for this neighbor, he's been a good headed man in the neighborhood and not what you imagine mate. His records are clean, other neighbors wandered what could be the issue that push him to carryout such illegal act. I know him as a decent gambler without bad records. His betted tickets proves were still with him, when the local police came to make the arrest. He's just a public victim mate and I pity him on this. Hope others learn from his mistakes.

Why on earth would you expect anyone here to simply confess their sins just like that and ruin their reputation in this forum?
There might be a couple of legit testimonies though, but it is tough to believe anyone especially since we are all basically strangers here. Anyway, this is an interesting topic to watch though in my opinion.
You're right. Not many people will tell the truth because it's easy to prey on people and condemn them in the Internet. You can tell them things you wouldn't dare to say in the open. That's why telling the truth only opens you up to hard criticism. I'm not an addicted gambler so I haven't broken the law to gamble but I don't feel compelled by the law all the time. If the law forbit me to gamble I'd still do it and break it this way but I'd never steal from someone to gamble especially from my family.

The answer to your question is no and I do not think that this has ever crossed my mind, if I ever go down this path then that means that I became desperate and addicted. I think breaking the law will never do me any good because I need money for gambling. Having a clean rap sheet is better than having a cash for gambling and that opinion will never change, I am also well aware that there are people who are willing to commit these acts just to get their gambling fix satiated, I empathize with but at the same time I feel disappointed because they let gambling ruin their lives.

On my all gambling experience, I haven't thought to do something bad just to sustain my gambling, I will not take my life into risk just to play gamble because I will not break my dignity for it. Gambling is only entertainment for me and sometimes way of earning money for me and sometimes it is also a way to lose our money and I know thst there are so many bad effects that this gambling ca give to me so I am not always do gambling because I am afraid to face some consequence if I will get so addicted with it. Why on earth would you expect anyone here to simply confess their sins just like that and ruin their reputation in this forum?

Why? Is there something bad on telling the truth and telling the past? I dont thi k that they are afraid to tell thwir story because we are all anonymous here, no one can know who are we so I think they can still tell their story.

I don't think the subject fits the scenario OP provided, why? Because it states, "to finance gambling", but the reason why the person got arrested is because he wants to take back the losses.
I see this inappropriate because the person is just taking back his losses and might thinking that he will stop gambling after he have taken it all back. So his intention isn't to finance gambling at all.
Well, enough of that, for me, I will not do such illegal things just for the sake of gambling, it is simply called, being addicted if we are into a state like the OP's example. It is hard to heal, disastrous as it could destroy relationships and family.

getting caught in the act of stealing and using alibi to recover losses from gambling sounds funny .
would it be better if he can alibi something that will lessen his penalty like he only steal due to poverty because of the quarantine . anyway i do steal from my parents before to gamble but i remember i never stole to recover something what i loose but now that i have a job now , i can now feed my gambling appetite and not do stealing from my parents pocket or to someone else .

Sounds like a SS trap question to catch the fools admitting to having done illicit activity, lol. I only stole one thing in my entire life and that was a sub-$2 item when I was a little kid. That scared me well enough not to steal anything ever again.
Stealing to get money to gamble or to recover your loss is a disgusting behavior. You lost due to your fault and you're stealing from someone who hasn't done anything wrong. In other words, you're going for two-damages-in-one, both caused by yourself. If someone decides to gamble their house hoping to become a millionaire and loses everything, it's their own fault - you accept a risk once you open up/go into that casino and nobody else needs to pay for your loss.

I admit I did but that was on the past way back when I was a kid and I am addicted to gambling. Though I did that it was just a penny just to satisfy what I want but this was changed through time when I get another hobby and involved lot of activities during high school and college.
If you're adult and ever did that then you're not on the right mind to do that filthy thing, you know what's good and what could harm you.

Can a gambler get back His or Her loses without finding ways to finance the process?. As clearly stated at the OP, he gambled and lost, he was desperate to get back his lose, he then source for funds through illegal means. How does this not correspond with the subject above?. Re-reading the thread will give you a clearer picture to present your argument on a clearer note.
