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

[rhomelmabini]

That was because of addiction, that's how dangerous addiction is, it will make you lose everything you have if you will not stop. People with this kind of problem do not think that losing is possible, they will always think of bouncing back until they don't have anything to gamble.

Gambling is not bad if we treat it as entertainment, or we can go further but we need to make sure we are already responsible enough to manage the risk. This guy has learned his lesson the hard way,  £20,000 might take a while for him to recover but not in gambling anymore.

They are making it as a habit but if the habit gets cozy like they want it to have everytime that makes it more dangerous, of course the urge to win because of the losses. The thing is we are aware that gambling if can't be handled properly will lead to bad habits yet many are still risking to take and go with it.

That's an expensive lesson he got there but just happy for the guy that he already cope with that addiction already and healing. We've seen some cases like this and we've been warned and even gambling sites does that, it's just that some individuals can't handle.

€20000 or around $24000, why you guys feel shocked like that? In fact there are lot of people who have lose more than that amount multiple times bigger than that. I remembered a guy who lose 300 BTC in bustabit, you can calculate how big his lose on USD or euro terms. That gambler simply don't have money management and greedy while he already ahead, nothing to be surprised on here though

I have heard about a lot of gambling addiction man were lost a big mount of money within one night, for they were lost, €20000 is really not a big number.
There was a gambler in the village next to mine, he has a nickname "won't die", due to he has a lot of experience of firtst lose a lot and win back. But the last time he was not lucky anymore, lost about tens of dollars , and then he had killed himself.

For people who have a lot of money, €20000 is bigger and I think they will not accept the losses and try to recover them in the next few days.
Maybe they lose because of the temptation of gambling games to spend more money without realising it.
If someone can win back his losses, I am sure he has the luck to get that losing money.
But not many of them can recover the losing money because they will lose more money if they try to recover.
If you control your money or have limitations, you will not lose that much money because you will see that playing gambling will no need to lose that much money.

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)

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.

I guess he almost forgot the risks of gambling that he used a huge sum of money to gamble in just a single night.

He probably forgot about it and just pushed what he felt by that time not until he has experienced it personally and lost a lot of money within a single night.

Gambling addiction could really lead us to losses that will only bring regrets in the future.

It will bring regret if suddenly he changed his mind and regret what he did because he personally have now an experience how it feels to lose a lot within a single blow.

^ This is the reason why you should never gamble to escape the reality that hurts you and your spirit. It would only break you mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I know why this guy has been addicted to gambling, he did not value himself and he did not believe in it. And the time that you lost your respect for yourself? That is the time that you will stop caring about rights and wrongs. And then you will soon end up with the most painful failure you won’t think you would survive. I am not here to blame him but I hope this guy would set an example that we all have to be responsible for. We can always gamble but make sure that you’re only gambling or fun and using funds you afford to lose.

We've got a lot of examples but we will still some who would share the same situation in the future. It's not going to end in here but at least with those people that have read what was shared, they now have an idea how to avoid such bad experiences that had happened to others.
If you're the type of gambler that learns from other's experiences then you're a responsible one.

Even if you have that kind of money it doesn't mean that you need to gamble everything, he lost self-control and no financial budget in gambling that's why he lose that much of money in just one night. I can't imagine how he gamble that money and living like a millionaire in just a night is not a good mindset in gambling. This one will lead to addiction, and if he borrows money just continue playing, that's the dead end point to that guy, he must realize this one.

He let his emotion do control him and specially with his own greed where he knows that he does  still have money in his pocket where he can spent it out as he wants
and this is where  the bullshit things come from.

You would only realize when its too late but before that you wouldn't really mind as long you would able to spend it out.You would be facing up the worst
if you do let things to happen which shouldn't really supposed to happen.

If you do love yourself and you do love your family then quit gambling.Period.

That's him and feelings will change if you've got the money and you're very much excited to gamble. And that's really happening for those people that became a gambler newly.

I think he is aware of the risks faced in gambling, the possibility that he enjoys the game too much so that he cannot control his emotions when gambling then appears greed to be able to win a lot of money by multiplying the amount of his stake, trying repeatedly to return the capital but in an instant the money he has have run out instantly

He wasn't able to control his feeling because of being new.

This is the lowest that you can get if you become addicted and lose control of your life, you can lose everything in one sitting, you are just deceiving yourself if you think you can all get back in just one roll, obviously, he was chasing all he lost, glad he got his feet back again with a help of friends and organizations, but this is a very hard phase of any gambler's life to go through, but he can inspire others about his story and can help stop people from becoming addicted to gambling.

When he chases, he loses in gambling, which can make him get another loss as in the gambling games, there is no guarantee for the gambler to recover the losses. Maybe if he considers not chasing the losses, he can still have some money and maybe he can back to the gambling game in the next few days. 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.

Gambling addiction is the one that can take us to the next extreme of life. Happy the gambler didn't end his life, because I've experienced the same years back. In a single day I lost 5 Eth in a day. By then I don't have anything more to meet my life needs. I thought of ending my life. Think if I've kept hold of that fund, now I could've had more than $20000 on today's price.

Once after we loss our mind will think of ending the life, this is common. We need to overcome that moment which is more important.

That's why I really avoid gambling, because besides having a big risk of loss to ourselves, of course, gambling will have a big impact on our family's finances, so that many people who are addicted to gambling will usually lose money and most likely their family was devastated, because it is someone those who are gambling addicts are no longer responsible for the life / livelihoods of their wife's children, in my opinion it is better to stop gambling immediately than to have to wait for our family to be destroyed because of gambling: '(

Addiction brings about behaviors that are incompatible with our personalities and daily actions, sometimes we engage in gambling almost unconsciously, our body and soul seem to separate in some gambling moments and remain so, the loss is already at a new number compared to the original calculation. Ending ourselves can sometimes be part of an unconscious act when we feel we can no longer start over but hope people don't think so inaccurately, life and time are always too precious, they will create money and help us get back on our feet

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?

In every gambling casino they have what you called high rollers and this gamblers can lost more than what the guy lost in the story but loosing $20k in one night can make him one of the high rollers  .
Most high rollers can afford what they are betting because we can see them coming back everyday to gamble but addicted gamblers that bet high can't do this because they  are mostly broke , this is the reason why the borrow money .
 They won't think of ending Thier lives if there are concerned people around them because they can get a comfort .

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.

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.
