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

[kram31]

Recently an Indian young boy committed suicide as he lost enough money by betting in IPL. He lost all of his money then borrowed money from his friends and bet with it in a hope of win back something. But he lost everything and took the step finally.

He had taken this extreme step as he was involved in the cricket (IPL) betting due to which he faced financial loss and could not bear the pressure. When the other roommates went for work, Sonu had committed suicide in the morning.

This is nothing new, we know a lot of gambler committed suicide earlier after losing large amount in gambling. I have found another news reletaed to this IPL's Dark Side: A Rise in Suicide Cases Has Greeted the Return of Live Cricket on TV

People shouldn't bet with the money what they can't afford to loss. Borrowing money for betting is worst decision ever. Every gambler know these things but many of them still do it. Does this kind of news make you worried? Share your thought about this.

Well, so sad to hear that news. I think that boy before He committed suicide that person experienced to won a big amount. Then, after that moment losses came up to him until He didn't noticed that his loss is getting bigger and bigger where until He found out there's nothing left for
Him, it's pity actually for this person. Let us not become greedy just We aim to become rich instantly thru gambling due to luck.

Every life that is lost for whatever reason is always regrettable. RIP.

The point here is how to determine what the gambling debts were, it must be understood that there are associated pathologies and gambling is a disease that in many cases does not kill but does impoverish, leads to drugs, etc.

This case can be a type of case associated with depression.

In any case, I can tell you that the upper average is that people do not commit suicide by gambling, even with large debts, committing suicide is such a complex decision, but so complex that it is mainly associated with depression.

Depressed people commit suicide for so many causes, love, debt, work, life goals and even successful people commit suicide, that is, without explanation.

The point here is that gambling does not have to be seen as the "always" big culprit, more people die from traffic accidents than deaths from gambling. People die from smoking cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, plastic surgeries, even more people die annually from taking a photo than from gambling debts, by the way in India it is the country with the most deaths from this cause, if selfies.

I repeat: All life that is lost for whatever reason is always regrettable
Tip: If this news affects you from the point of view of the game, good for you, do not just read it, be surprised, stop betting.

He is addicted players because he borrowed money to their friends to play gambling which is wrong. I hope people will not being addicted becuse it will not happen a good outcome once you are that. Suicide is not answer or solution to his problems quit or minimize playing of gambling and he will recover. There is a lot of bad happens to the person if they are a addict player they do wrong for the sake of their wants or habits.

It's a sad ending I figure that he does not have a trusted friend whom he can tell all his problem, this is the issue of gamblers who has no one to guide him on how to play it right, he kept it to himself and just exploded when he thinks that his situation is hopeless, he is young so parents should watch out for their children if he always kept things to himself.

[k@suy]

What a kind of desperation. He can take no more the stress that had come into him and thinking of evil things. He's not actually too young to think that way but it was very unfortunate and commit killing himself. I'm not sure how his parents taking care of him or he is rejected after that scenario. If he valued his life more than that money, I think he never does it but something there is another reason brought him to take his life, and that probably;y because of rejections from his family or even friends.

Depression is really a thing, even you are a young or old or in the middle everyone can be depressed, however he should ask for somebody help, he shouldn't carry this thing all alone, he become addicted maybe and got depressed, a proper rehab and medication can help him but it is too late. It only shows that addiction in gambling and low emotional control can really affect people if it doesn't handle in the right way.

^ 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.

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.

Gambling should be an entertainment and not an addiction. I felt bad for the indian boy who committed suicide because of pressure. I know that winning in gambling have this good feeling that you want to make more bets hoping for more wins but in the end it will be a lose streak. Self-control is what we really needed here in gambling. Ofcourse, we should learn our lesson if ever that we already lose something, we should be mindful of the other consequences that may occur if we will not stop ourselves from doing it.

In general, this story is another warning to gamblers that they need to learn how to manage not only their means but also emotions. I hope the relatives of this guy have the patience and strength to pass this life test, because burying your child is the biggest tragedy.

Since he is just a boy, this is the only choice he saw.

He borrowed money from his friends to at least take his losses back which we all know that is risky. Since he is still young, he probably do not know about the risk of borrowing money. This is why it is better not to let those kids to play because they will probably not take the risk or the feeling of losing the money from gambling.

That's the thing. Most people believe in there is better chances in numbers and as such, they tend to bet on multiple slips or copies. It's not a very bad strategy but, with the probability nature of all bets, it's very possible that, you can have one rugged game amongst them. It could be the one you had faith in and have decided to duplicate it in other bets and like that, if it goes wrong, the bets are all gone. You can't be too sure no matter the odds.

I am sure that many of us felt terrible for the Indian boy, and we don't want to have the same thing as him, or we will see some of our family members or even our kids will be like that. Self-control will be the important thing that we need to learn, even if that is hard because that will prevent us from becoming addicting. If we win in gambling, we need to know that we will not have the same chance to win in the next round, so it is better to stop while we can.

Since you are in gambling then there's none who can gurantee you.

Even you are copying or you are trusting your own guts, gambling will stay the same whatever you do if luck runs against you there's no
way for you to avoid losing your money, in this boy's case, he can't handle the situation that's why he choose to end things like this, his
mistakes causes his life to an early end.

Gambling could very well turn into a sickness, it could also be something fun but if you do not know how to have fun with it, it could turn into something very bad like what happened to this boy. However we can't stop these type of things happening neither, as you might know even when it is illegal to gamble, people find ways to gamble anyway and they keep betting no matter how dangerous and risky it is to gamble when it is illegal.

So, we are talking about something we can't stop, you can try to educate these people for the risks of gambling from young age, however during young age words like "dangerous" and "risky" sounds like cool things, and young kids try to do cool things, so you create a dilemma while trying to teach how bad it is, they might want it more.

Which it isnt really worth for him to do such thing yet problems cant be just resolved on committing suicide and he didnt think off that the debt that he had left will really be
passed into his parent and be the one will really be sued out to pay such debt.So he had still left some problem aside on ending his own life which is somewhat useless.

Some people cant really handle up their emotions thats why they do really make up this option thinking off that they will get rid of it which is totally out of your mind
if you do consider this one.Every problem does have a solution but seems this kids mind isnt really that mature enough and he do let himself fall into addiction
which causes for him to end up with deep debt.

That is while it's good to know what is involves in gambling before going or adventuring into it, because it's really obvious that someone can give off he/her life because of the amount of money lost during gambling because its objective to gamble was not it really accomplished the way he was expected, so its advisable to  someone who financial buoyant and also matured to go into gamble, the only reason the person in question as op narrated died it's because the finance wasn't his own and there is no way to generate or raised such amount of money to return to the owner.

How old is the young victim? Is he 18+
However, it had been warned several times by betting agencies to stop teenagers in Betting system, he is still a young teenager below 18 I think, so it hard to resist the pressure that comes after the loss adding to the ones he is owing, that's while is advisable to stop borrowing money to bet. These cases are meant to happen and it can't be stopped at any given point in time. Similar cases
had happened in my country uncountable times so it hard to stop this except for the fact that you keep advising younger ones to avoid betting at their tender age.

In the second week of October, Lucknow Police recovered the dead body of Raju Yadav (21) in an abandoned shed in Gomti Nagar Extension in Lucknow. Yadav, who worked as a pump operator, had run up debts to cover for losses he suffered due to betting on matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

At the right age already but his mind is not so matured already in handing pressure so he took his life instead of facing his problems.

I think so too. He borrowed money and gambled. And lost. He cannot afford to repay the loan, so he has committed suicide. Suicide is never the answer. He could wait a while and collect the money. This is the only reason why you never have to gamble on borrowed money. Gamble with as much money as you have, if you lose you lose money, and if you win you lose money.

The Idea of borrowing money just to gamble is a perfect example that this Boy is already addicted and has no where to run but to gamble

he will spend everything in His hand just to play,there is no fun in His activities as he always seek for wins and never be contented.

I did not mean that what he does is right but the way he spends living?suicide is His only salvation.
Hope He is now found peace if where he was now.

It is a really shocking and heart touching news. It is he only reason why i hate those people who are addicted on something and greedy. Because this type of people do everything for money or those things he is addicted to. I'mI always tell my friends to gamble within a certain limits. You can spend some of your daily pocket money on it. This will not hurt your family. we should never gambling by borrowing money Or beyond our capacity. And the last thing is ,you must be a man of strong morale. Because gambling is a game with luck. If you are lucky you will earn a lot of money, but if you are unlucky you will lose a lot of money. If your morale is not strong, you will break if you lose money. So you always have to keep your morale strong. And be prepared to lose money.

Know what?before telling people not to gamble much better tell them this before we teach them how to gamble,because this is part of being responsible gambling right?

The problem here is we  tend to teach others how to gamble but we are not caring for what they will become.
I know that it is not our responsible but we must understand also that if we don't do such thing then we will letting them to be addicted.

Even if i never knew this Indian boy my heart aches for his family and friends who are hurting because of his choice to take his own life.  To commit suicide is never the right thing to do and its so sad that nobody was able to help him.
