An Indian boy committed suicide after losing money by Betting in IPL

[Hamphser]

Majority of people who are engage with gambling they are that kind of solo ones which they dont really much attached to other people on what are the things that they've been doing.

and when unfortunate events do happen then they do tend to solo it and that what makes more stressful which would really create that emotion in you on where you do think into some things

like committing suicide specially if you do know that you are playing and lost a loaned or borrowed money then that would amplify even more on what you felt on that time.
In result? high chances that you would really end up on this situation unless if you are really well on handling up your emotion then you wouldnt really care.

I think why most of the gamblers who are in great debt tend to own his problem without telling others is because they probably don't want others to think that they are losers. Or like, even if they tell others, they still won't be able to pay it off, especially like this boy who is still a teenager.

Not being able to handle this kind of situation can lead to bigger stress or even depression that is why we have been hearing numerous stories of people destroying or trying to end their life because of gambling.

This is the saddest part of being a gambler. When you are already an addict you will play as long as you have money to spend until nothing's left. And when you're done spending all of your money, you will feel feel sad and guilty for what you did. You will think that there are still chances for you to win so you will lend money to others or sell your things in order for you to back in track but when you are still experiencing loses, that triggers your depression.

People should really be aware into their actions because this will really neither create a solution or most of the time some problem into you and every decision made will have expected consequences.
You would really get depressed if you do let yourself fall into the pit of addiction and as said that we shouldnt let our emotion control us because it will really lead into something if not being controlled.
This isnt only happening but this is also a global problem on where there are several gamblers who do end up into this conclusion just because they think that theres no other options left.

This is why we should only gamble and invest what we could afford to lose.
We should be aware of the risk of our own actions it is a real pity that they would end their life because of money.
We could earn it back we could right what has been wronged but when you choose to end it all you just spread put all of your suffering to the ones who love and cares for you.

In essence, if gambling has become a place to make money, I am sure that various problem will arise in life. There are many example that have been expressed by many that a person who cant accept defeat at gambling risk ending his life. What happen to Indian boy, in my opinion, is not the only evidence that gambling has a negative impact on behavior and how to solve problem. I think it will be felt by those who are very addicted to gambling and can't just quit even if they don't have money.

Gambling should be done responsibly, and is in no way recommended as a place to make money. People spend their money and time gambling mostly to get more money, I have no doubt about this. But in fact we were wrong and should be gambling just for fun. I really wanted to quit gambling because I was spending too much money each week on this, but I was just going to try to quit little by little so that the addiction eventually went away.

There are still many people who think that playing gambling is a way to make money, even though this assumption is wrong.
In my opinion, playing gambling is only for entertainment, because gambling was created so that many people suffer losses.
If you look at statistics we can see that the percentage of those who experience losses in gambling is much greater than those who win.
So playing gambling should be better with money that we can afford to lose, so when you experience a loss it won't stress you out.
Especially playing gambling with borrowed money, if you experience a loss it will make us depressed and if we are mentally weak,
then what happens can decide to commit suicide.

Had been told for a million times when it comes on that famous line "gamble on the amounts that you can afford to lose" but people do always do go overboard.

and in result then it do create complicated problems like on debt, addiction, family problem, financial problem and all sorts that will mainly affected if you do let
things as it should be.

Suicide isn't a solution but for those who are stressed then this will be the most quick and easiest one without minding on solving it out
on the proper way.

What a tragic incident. He's still a boy for his age of 19 and that's why he thought that doing things such as borrowing money for recovery with his losses is the right thing to do. Things like this are unstoppable but I hope that the new gamblers are responsible enough to read terrible incidents like this so that they can have an idea what they should do when they are betting all of their money. I wish that it won't be followed by another news like this. 

I also want to criticize people who pressurize others to pay the debts and loans because if the person you lent money suicides not only you live with a sin for the rest of your life but you also lose the money he might have paid back the money slowly. There are people who will create pressure and traumatize others to pay their debt but never understand what the other person is going through.

I remember an incident where a person near our house had a big loan from someone who was into illegal activities and he caused so much stress that he was forced to suicide but what followed was very shocking, he left a suicide note and mentioned everything about the criminal who lent him money and he was actually caught, all his illegal activities were seized and he was sentenced for many years.

We can't blame the lenders if they are losing patience for the payment of the borrower. If it's already too much from the given due date, it only means that a borrower isn't that responsible enough to take debts. We also have to understand the situation of the lenders because the fact that they have lent money, they are giving you the trust that soon you'll pay. Just be a responsible gambler and borrower but the best is don't take loans for the purpose of gambling.

Terrible news to read, horrific things happen in the background and I don't support activities promoting the gambling ads on TV, boards. If the gambler is an irresponsible person, preventing himself from all kinds of gambling involved activities will not let that person accept the life-changing decisions. The close circle of that person has to convince him to not borrow money from the lender for chasing the losses.

[ultrloa]

This thing is avoidable if there's someone beside him advise on what other things needed to do to avoid those possible losses and be away for that addiction. But since the incident happen maybe this is a lesson for all the gamblers to avoid betting all their money and don't come up borrowing money to continue your vices, since it's really stressful and a big shame to tell other what happened to our money.

If only he has enough people to guide him he wouldn't have taken his life he wouldn't have ruined it at the first place.
I also had trouble in gambling but my friends help me to forget gambling and focus on other things to make my life better.
Now reading this kind of things make me so thankful for all the people who help me back then.

Indeed, we should know how to limit ourselves, because too much in everything will only give us misfortune and tragedy. Every player or gambler needs to take care for their emotion it should be handled correctly, too much losses is really depressing he become addicted to it. I don't know if there will be other problem aside from gambling, it is too hard to accept that he don't have any support system that he can talk to.

I agree with what you are saying. But here in India, it is not that easy. Since gambling is illegal, the users are forced to remain anonymous. Even if they gets cheated, or in case they need counseling, the gamblers are very hesitant to come out in the open. And this makes it very difficult for us to help them, even if they are in trouble. At least this case was publicized. There may be hundreds of other cases, that are not covered by the media.

Here in my country also, gambling is illegal but there are a lot of gamblers that are really hard headed. They don't care about the law and they don't care if they will be put inside the jail if ever they caught by the authorities. But those Elitists who's managing the gambling games are anonymous in order for them to be safe from the authorities. They are hiring low profile people to work for them and recruit gamblers to play.

^ Another sad story of those who gamble but was not able to manage the consequence of losing. It is not new to us about those who commit suicide because of gambling that they lose control in placing bets and left nothing to them but debt. We cannot assume if the Indian boy is still below the age that is legally allowed in their country to gamble or we are not aware of the fact if he gambled in a licensed gambling platform so we cannot put the blame on anyone for the tragic end of the boy. All the government around the globe has their regulations about gambling and I am pretty sure that no parent will give no advice to their child about gambling and the possible effect if we got involved in it. At the end of the day, it will still depend on us how we will be responsible enough and take the possible outcome of our gambling activities for we can be blind once got addicted to it.

Even if theres restriction there would be always people who do go against it and  there are people who do really make out those places even on the illegal side
as long they do able to make money or revenue then they will surely do it even if againsts the rules or laws and for those addicted ones then you are expecting
for them to play and go into  these illegal places.

About on that kid who do took suicide then he's very wrong on that decision.Life is only one and problems can be solved out no matter how severe it is.
Its just human being are too emotional but there are some which cant able to handle out that emotion which would really lead into this.

RIP to the Indian boy, even though this happens every dingle day in every single country.

Even in countries where gambling is illegal, those who indulge in online gambling are seldom booked. Even if the cops book them, at the most the punishment will be limited to financial penalties. I haven't heard about anyone getting a jail term, because he has taken part in an online gambling game. And then the gambling site owners.. they are always beyond the reach of the law..

Yes, it is our responsibility to our children to stay away from gambling, and we always need to remind them of their association with their friends. Maybe we need to explain to them the dangers of playing gambling for the long term, so they can think that playing gambling can losing their money, and the worst is they can become addicted to gambling. Once they are addicted to gambling, everything will ruin, including their lives and their family.

Maybe because they don't have strict laws for that and gambling can't be considered as a crime but an illegal way to get money ,and no one else will perish only  the gambler by it self.

if they want the law to be stricter, they need to tighten enforcement and increase bail on people who operate illegal gambling , that's the only way to stop illegal gambling in different countries.

How practical is this? Nowadays, most of the gambling is done online. And the promoters may be residing in countries where gambling is perfectly legal, such as Bermuda or Cayman Islands. The only option for the government is to block these websites in their jurisdiction. But that too is not very effective, as the gamblers can access the website by simply using a VPN connection.

Poor boy nobody deserves this end, and even lees if the reason is the money.

Not even all the money in the world is worth your life. Most beautiful things are free!! Me myself lost a lot of money since 2018 hodling altcoins that have lost more than the 90% in the bear market, and I'm totally happy with my life, having very little material things, but huge really important things (parents, old but healty, girlfriend, pet...).

It is a different as I didn't borrow any money and lose it. I have recommended it before in this forum, but for those bettors here who don't know the book, do read Dostoevsky's "The Gambler": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gambler_(novel)
