Man lost £20,000 in one night after becoming addicted to online gambling!

[bitzizzix]

After becoming addicted to online casino games in March last year, he lost £40,000 in the space of a month, losing half of that in just one night.

After losing that money too, he found himself in massive debt, and contemplated taking his own life.

I don't know why they are caught up in this moment but I think people know the risks yet they still try. Was it appropriate for him to call the gambling firm wrong or he was right? (See the last part of the article or better read the 3 mins. article instead)

That's nothing. I bet there are more people that have lost even more overnight. They can either afford the loss or they are just addicted. Nothing else. They wanted to get rich over night. Tried their luck. Lost. And now they either move on or mourn and regret forever.
The guy made a stupid mistake. Why would he borrow money to gamble? What's worse is that he trying to take his own life. He is going to escape, but what about his loved ones? The people who are close to him?

Many people lose a large amount in one night even to the point of sacrificing what they have until they have nothing, and that is much better than losing a large amount in one night to be gained from borrowing is very stupid.
short-minded and does not see his capacity to gamble and does not think how to return it if he loses, and it will be a burden on his life to think over and over again which will lead him astray and there is no choice but to end his life and without thinking about the people closest to him.
acute and foolish addiction for those who borrow to gamble regardless of ability.

He actually lost a total of 40,000
Sad thing is : That money was borrowed too. He did loose 20,000 in one night but over the span of a month be lost 40,000.
See lockdown makes you do stupid things but addiction is something that depends on how strong your mind is. If you mind is strong enough then does not matter how much you play you would make it a habit to play in moderation and at the same time you also have to be meticulous about it. I do think he continued to play after one night of loss was because he wanted to earn them back. Unfortunate but familiar to all of us. But we have to understand that these things are always dependent on luck. I hope he recovers soon.

That’s the problem of every addicted gambler, they are borrowing money just to gamble and its happening even before this pandemic started, many are already drowning into debts because of gambling. Online world becomes more active because of this pandemic, and casinos are also entering the online platform and that’s why its very easy now to gamble. If you’re going into big problems right now, gambling is not a solution and never gamble using the borrowed funds, because its a big trap.

Gambling firm doesn't give a **,, they operate to earn profit and they will continue to do so as long as they are not violating the law.
It's our responsibility to gamble responsibly, so it's wrong or stupid to blame casinos or gambling sites for our mistakes.

Every single business cares about profits and no one sets up a business just for charity. They need to pay salary to their employees, and a significant chunk of the revenues goes as tax to the authorities. At the most, they can put up warning signs, offering help to those who are vulnerable to addiction. Apart from that I don't think that they can do anything about these incidents. If someone is careless about money, eventually he will end up bankrupt. And for that a casino is not necessary.

Maybe in the future, there will be databases with the names of gambling addicts or those inclined to gambling addiction in them. Such people shouldn't be allowed to any casino for their own good. Even though some people might see that as a violation of human liberties, this measure could save thousands of lives.

If we are addicted to gambling, sometimes we don't think logically anymore and take actions that have enormous risks. One of them is gambling
with borrowed money, I have found many people who are addicted to gambling using borrowed money to gamble. Finally, the person who used
the borrowed money to gamble got into a lot of debt, and made his life ruined. Therefore, don't ever dare to use borrowed money to play gambling,
just use the extra money we have to play gambling. If we don't have the budget to play gambling, my advice is better not to gamble first.

Addicted people wouldnt mind about people around him because the thing he's thinking off is about to make profits and when problem arises then he think off
on escaping it without minding again his loved ones that would be left and thats really a selfish act which is common for an addicted person to do so.Its true that this
isnt a rare case but rather a common one where lots of people who do lost big time not only limited to 20k but even more but well it does depend
on how deep the persons pocket though.

And the thoughts like he can hit the jackpot "every" next time and pay off all his debts and live a better life. I used to think this way when I was quite "addicted" 3-4 years ago. I was in debt and convinced myself that the only way to paying them off is to win big, there is no other way, and kept asking for debts and playing and losing. That's an uncontrollable condition and a person usually needs help if in this situation.

Gambling firms always gave a warning and so are the people who are promoting and involve in gambling even players like us are doing that, but he chooses to ignore it, when it comes to gambling it's always your personal decision, you win and you lose because of your decision, the guy loses a lot fo big money because he realizes he has no control on his action if he has control he should just allocate a portion for gambling and not deposit all his money.

Of course, it would be always depend on your own decision and you are the ones who do create your own fate and the path you would take is depending into your own awareness.

If you do intent to have a miserable life then you would really be tolerating towards your addiction but if you do mind about your family and other plans in life then
you would definitely be avoiding gambling at all cost.

The situation here do shows on how this man had messed up his life and put into deep debt because of doing such wrong decision.

The reality is exactly like you said, especially on this virtual universe, but at same time I understand the gambler because it must hurt a lot to lose thousands of euros in just one night, so it's normal that he becomes angry over the casino, that just called the police for him when he told about his desire for killing himself after the huge loss.
However there is nothing the gambler can do besides stop gambling forever, what I think it's the most recommended option for him, or he can learn how to control himself next time, although I don't think it's a good idea for him to gamble again, because someone who loses 20,000 euros in few hours has serious self-control issues. So it should be avoided at all costs.

The one thing I hate is he blames the gambling firm for letting him lose a huge amount, I don't know about the gambling site but some gambling sites I'm betting there's a warning sign that pop up or a reminder that I am betting a big amount, but even without those pop up he can do better to know that you should only play what he can afford to lose, obviously he is not prepared to what is coming, so he blame the gambling site.

This is common reaction of people who's out of control they blame anyone for their lose but I don't think theirs someone will believe him since its so crazy to see why he choose to be addicted on the game. Also for what I notice on gambling scene most people who got addicted are first timer or those people who win big amount in quick scheme.

Losing your own money in gambling is very stressful and it makes you depressed already but borrowing a huge amount of money like that and then lost it all,  you just like you dug 2 graves just for you :X.

Gambling addiction is really a thing when it comes to gambling. This is the main reason why I don't gamble at all. Even though I know how to control myself, I don't want to be at the point that I will be addicted into gambling for some reasons. I just hope that he will be ok, he will pay his debts soon and will return back normal and after this thing that happened to him he will not gamble anymore.

Well, not only him are suffering from things like this because there are many gamblers who are suffering even more losses than his and I hope that they will learn from their experiences. Self control really is very important when you are gambling.

[michellee]

We can learn from his story so we do not have to get an experience like him and we can still be careful and avoid the addiction.

Learn from other mistakes, it's good. We don't need to commit this mistake and loss money before we lose, it's so stupid. I have some bad days in gambling as well, I go beyond my limit and I regret it, but eventually I learn and I also like to thank this forum as I enjoyed reading a lot of threads about gambling addiction and advises.

When we can learn from others' mistakes, we can get a lesson on how to avoid the mistakes and we can try to improve ourselves to become better, especially if we do not know how to control or limit our time in gambling. I am sure we have a bad day in gambling and I believe that we want to fix that so we do not have the same experience. Sharing our experiences can help others know what they need to learn and get something from them.

Someone who wins a big lottery or something like that, you are right. I was reading a story of a lottery winner and the guy told that after he won that big amount, it was something like $250k or something. He then started having a lavish lifestyle but the worst thing was that he kept buying lottery tickets and he went bankrupt after a year or so.

It is similar to how often we hit some big wins on slots but then we throw back everything slowly on the same slot. It has happened to me also when I was playing Money Train back in the days and I managed to land free spins and proceeded to win big but then I was just addicted and lost everything I won plus some of my own funds back in the game.

There are many legitimate stories about gamblers winning millions on fantasy sports platforms like draft kings or fanduel.

There are documented stories of gamblers winning more than $100,000 gambling on sports.

For some strange reason, the overwhelming majority of the media appears to contain a bias where they only cover the negative stories where people lose.

My US state illegalized fantasy sports like fanduel and draft kings which technically are games of skill rather than gambling. I think the political angle isn't justified.

I'm not a fan of people being denied opportunities and options in life like fantasy sports which could make them money.

You have a point but the media loves sob stories as that brings more ratings than success stories, then politicians see this and they see a perfect opportunity for them to appear to do their jobs, they do not understand that the best policy in those cases is to do nothing, anyone that uses their common sense can see that the gambler was at fault, the casino offered a very small bonus and then the person goes crazy and losses al  his savings and even money he never had, it is obvious the gambler was at fault but he wants to shift the responsibility back to the casino.

Denial is common because no gambler would really be admitting about into their mistakes that had been done but rather giving out the blame to the casino on where he do play on.

This doesnt only limit out on that particular man but almost gamblers does have this kind of problem.It can be differentiated depending on the sereneness of the consequences that they had experienced.

This is the result when you do let yourself being greedy and doesnt mind off about your finances.You would surely be fucking up yourself in the end.

Media does that always for their channel's ratings to increase because they know that the stories of winning gamblers will not bring the sort of exposure that they can get through negative stories of losing gamblers as world has been in such form today that one person wants other person's annihilation in any way. However, good for that gambler who is trying to recover out of his gambling addiction.

im currently keep watching xposed or many gambler in twitch . they doing slot bonus buys $10k and its not for 1 night games but its under 1 minutes games which even crazier if you think about it. gambling become extreme and the fact is some people are really making money with gambling .

I saw one of those recent videos by xposed, it's crazy. The way he plays it's possible to lose tens of thousands within minutes. I don't know who gave him the money to play(once I saw his balance and it was almost $300k), but I doubt such a young man could earn that much so that he could be putting $300k at risk. In the video I watched he first lost $40k and then won $52k, but don't repeat it at home, guys, seriously, don't think slots can help you to easily earn $12k.

[mindrust]

Only £20k? These are rookie numbers. There are lots of people who lose a lot more than this daily. As far as I am concerned, if they can wager these amounts, it means they are wealthy af so it won't affect their life in any meaningful way. If he lost his retirement funds however now that's just retarded and he needs professional help.

[hahay]

I think it's not about the amount but we can all learn from his mistakes, as gamblers you should always consider the worst effects and not just consider and dream about the good impact or profit that will be obtained. Because if the gambler has a consideration about the bad effects, then of course the gambler will be more responsible, not in a negative way such as suicide or anything after the bad impact is actually experienced at the end.
