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

[ethereumhunter]

He only thinks that suicide will solve the problem because he doesn't live anymore. We must take the lesson behind his story and don't let ourselves falls into gambling or one of our family have experiences in the gambling industry. And never let ourselves in the trouble that can not realize how dangerous that thing. Let us use gambling to search for entertainment.

Here in India, there is a lot of taboo related to gambling. First of all, it is banned here and if you are still indulging in gambling, then that means that you are breaking the law. And secondly, if you tell some of your friends and relatives that you have lost money in gambling, then they are more likely to blame you rather than provide any sort of help. And we don't know, whether this guy had approached any of his friends or relatives before his suicide.

But I guess that some people still gambling in secret places because if something is prohibited or banned, people will search for another way to do that thing. I think what people do related to someone who is playing gambling and loses money in gambling is right. They can blame people who are playing gambling, but it is better to help that person solve his problem in gambling. So if that person has addicted to gambling, they can help it and visit the psychiatrist together.

If someone is indulging in gambling illegally, then he is very unlikely to consult a psychiatrist or a sociologist to discuss his addiction. Because he risks getting reported to the police. This is the problem when you have a regressive government which imposes useless bans on certain sectors. And India is not the only country where gambling is banned. It is the same story in most of the South Asian nations.

So how can he solve his addiction? Because I think he will try to come back to the secret gambling places without anyone knows. Or maybe a psychiatrist will not tell or can keep a secret for every patient that comes to him. I hope that people who have a gambling addiction can find out how they can solve their addiction without getting arrest by the police or the government.

This is the dangers of online betting or gambling in general when not done right. If you can't bet twice, you can't afford to bet at all. Moreso if you have loaned the money you used for betting. We really can't blame the poor guy but let this be a lesson not only to the beginners but to the veterans as well. Betting is playing with a loaded gun. You either shoot your target, get jailed for illegally possessing a firearm, or die because you shot yourself in the face

I couldn't understand the last line. How is shooting target (winning) makes it loss for the player? It's not a proper comparison. Maybe I'm missing something, but in no way winning in gambling is a bad thing lmao. But yeah, if you win too much, you will think your luck is very good so you will continue to gamble which is bad!

Too much smoking and drinking is dangerous for your body but too much gambling leads to addiction that is dangerous to your mind, when your mind is affected, you'll not be able to think properly and that will result to losing a lot of money which will make you desperate to recover until you lose everything.

Then, living a troubled life will follow that you will be addicted to alcohol and drugs, and some just can't handle it that they think of committing a suicide.

All addictions are bad, it doesn't really matter at what you are addicted, doing something too much will always means harmful effects for the mind and the body of a person, let's take a look at exercise addiction, exercise is good for your body but if it becomes an addiction like this happens in certain people you could end up crippling your body by taking illegal substances to increase your body mass and you could exercise to the point that your body breaks, so it makes sense that those that are addicted to gambling destroy their lives even if technically only their minds are affected by it.

He might have talked to his friends about the loss and tried to repay them bit by bit instead of committing suicide. The main cause seems to be the lack of communication that the boy may had with his friends or parents. Many friends of mine lost in IPL but they did not take this step as it is life and shit hits fan sometimes, does not mean we should give up but try to change it in our way.

Maturity plays an important role when we are certain financial condition and mostly it will be better when we are old enough like something above 18 on most countries, but with the help of internet then age factor will not be a restriction anymore for anyone to gamble so users are doing at their own risk and they should be responsible for their actions.

You wont know that he had tend to seek out help from his friends or do even tell his problem into his parents because most likely into this kind of situation
where minors or young minds do really take this problem on their own without tending to seek out some help from others and just trying to solve
on their own and if there are no ways that had been found then thats where stress and emotions do comes out which might really result into
suicide attempt when you dont have much good control of your emotions which it isnt really worth for your life to be wasted just because of some debt.

Not a new story, but still an alarming scenario. This kid is typically gambling for his life (that's what he had in his mindset) . This is one of the example of extreme gambling addiction. Even if he win and paid that borrowed money, he'd still go back to gambling and will continuously lossing money and still end up killing himself.
The only way to stop that kid from killing himself, is to actually stop him from gambling.
Really really sad news and waste of precious life.

That's a problem of people that can't manage themselves, they need guidance from someone else just not to commit a serious mistake that you can never undo and that is suicide. I guess the boy did not have parents or friends that give advice to him. Gambling will really change your life if you will able to manage it, but if not, it will ruin the life that makes you miserable that will end up of thinking ending your life.

We should always put our mind to gamble always of what we can afford. Controlling your emotion over gambling and don't let this over power by you.

This is the problem of the person who always keep their misery and problem since they will go at this stage that suicide is their option to get out the problem, but if there's someone from his family members or friend notice his doings at the very beginning for sure they can possibly stop the future attempt and advice what is best for him.

In addition to gamble what we can afford is we should have discipline on what we are doing since this is the one who can make us enjoy the game and other thing what we do.

It's not only in India but all countries where gambling is legal there are issues like this, some of them are not broadcast publicly but there really is, if you have a family or a friend who is very much hooked on gambling and he sometimes asks for a loan, better check if he is very deep into gambling because he may end up like this.

Unless if they are opened to you and let his/her family well-informed because it sometimes they hide it and we just get surprised into hearing such a thing. It gonna be the responsibility of the parent to look into their family member's activities and the welfare of everyone. But this kind of scenario just like killing himself, I don't think that this boy is opened to his parents or to his friends. I believe he hiding it until such a time that he can no longer take the pressure and brought top the decision like that.

Though this news wasn't new to us but still and it was always a very sad news since another life were being lost due to this kind of issue. That's why we should always spare ourselves for further huge loses ahead by just controlling our emotion and always keep in mind to take risk to gamble the amount that you can afford to lose. Its a simple rule that everyone should be kept in mind but sometimes it was also hard to follow.

This is a global problem and it is indeed these kind of incidents do happen worldwide which there are gamblers who do end up into this situation just because they do let themselves
fall into the pit of addiction and its sad that people do really end up on this option just for them to run of with the problem.

When we are on the verge of deep debt then we should stop completely to avoid further or severe problem.Try to solve out problems first and you should learn the lesson.

We cant tell on how long we can hold up with kind of problems specially on financial and how much more if you are still young but you are already
involved with this severe type of problem.

but in poor countries this problem is much deeper. people consider gambling as a way of getting out of poverty and in rich countries most people consider it as a fun. I don't think that in Sweden or in Norway someone would commit suicide after losing money.

in poor places theres more suicide cases because of financial problem and gambling can be one of the cause of it but on poorer countries there are gamblers that are only playing for fun and not to get out of poverty because they know that it wont work . on richier countries there were less cases of suicides but there are cases of suicide that cause by gambling  . rich people tend to gamble big and can loan big easily , they think gambling is the solution to pay for those debts but if they loose this will cause heavy stress to them that leads to end thier life .

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.

This is probably the worst thing that a gambler can do after losing a huge amount of money.
He gambled too much and lost too much that he can't bear his losses and he wants to be out of it so he just did commit suicide. His life in exchange for the debts he had.

I don't feel pity or anything towards the gambler because at first place, if he knows that he can't bear huge losses then it would be better if he just steps out of gambling rather than gambling more in order to recover his losses. I know that there are people around the world that are poor but gambling isn't the solution for it. There are many ways if they want to go out of being poor and gambling isn't one of them.

[Genemind]

This is what happens when you depend or put everything on gambling. Another was lost due to gambling, I feel bad for the young man and his family for choosing suicide as a last resort. Gambling shouldn't be taken seriously, I honestly think taking it seriously will just spoil the fun, it will give you stress and even put you under pressure. Gambling is supposed to be entertainment, however, some people push their luck too far that it goes out of control.

Gamble responsibly.

[Yudhisthir]

Gambling addiction has been a social problem. It's necessary to educate people on the risk of gambling. Banning gambling is not the solution as it would bring up more problems and gambling itself has it's own contribution to the society and economy.
It's about self control mostly both on gambling habits and outlook of life. Human life is much more important than money.
