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

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.

Awareness or being sensible towards your actions and mindful about possible effects then you would really get rid of that since you are fully aware on what you are doing.
If you do let yourself to go along with your addiction then expect on these kind of consequences on where you would really suffer out in terms of finances and
of course your relationship into your family or loved one would also be affected too.Always managed your finances well even if you're rich because
gambling can easily fucked up and changed your life into a poor ones.

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.

Which is a shame because if people do not recognize their own mistakes then they are bound to repeat them, the casinos are not at fault for what addicted gamblers do, they are just offering a service and it is up to each person to decide how much they want to use that service and how much money are they willing to risk, this person should have stopped gambling the moment he lost a significant amount of money but then he got mad and wanted to recover the money he lost and this is what caused his massive losses.

Just because you made $100 out of $10 one should not feel happy and stay positive. In all aspects of life we need to have positive mind. With gambling this needs to be different. I'm an example for the same. Just because I made $500 out of $200 I had a big dream. This has finally made me loss around $20000 in less than three months.

The amount is still huge and that's why it matters but you're correct that the effects of our actions when we gamble should be considered. The effects vary and probably the impact of it depends also on the amount that we lose. And if we're just like OP and we've lost that in an instant within a single night, I know what I'll be feeling by that time. That would be a nightmare to me that I won't forget. Maybe if the time that I get old, I'll remember it and would just make fun of it but while the days are still near to that exact event which I've lost that amount, it would put me most of the time in bad setting and mood.

Outcomes would really vary on what are the things you had done earlier and if you do decide to go into the rough path then you would need to face it.We know on how it sucks when it comes

to financial hardship or being poor because you had just spent and lost all the money you do had because of gambling.When it comes to potential loss then this would be limitless.

Gambling would really sip out every penny you do have if you do have that kind of intent in mind on getting rich because of gambling which is really a very wrong mindset.

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)

He started it in the wrong way, when he first the game, maybe he had a good run of winning and thought that he has luck in gambling until the losing streak caught him and he plays within his means and when he is losing he cannot accept that and he still thinks that he has a chance to get back until he loses a lot of fo money and it's too late for him to realize this, this is very unfortunate we only realize our mistakes late and after the harm is done, gamblers like this need all the help that he can get.

Indeed. But this gambler, as any other who also has lost big, have no other option than recovering the gone money through healthy methods like working and investing. For a first world country's citizen like him I think it must not be so hard to earn 20,000 euros in a year or so. I just hope he has learned an important lesson with this loss and that he overcome his addiction with the help of his family members who already know about the situation.

[Sled]

It was crazy and anyone could possibly ended up like this if we can't control such addiction. But this mostly happens to rich people, as this person knows that he still have money on his pocket, on his bank account, that he never thinks about stopping.
It is that need for us to have some limitation, otherwise, we all have ended up like him. yet, it was very challenging part especially when we are caught by addiction.

That's how it works in gambling. In the beginning, you may win small amounts and your confidence level will hit the roof. And then the losses start to roll in. You refuse to admit that you are getting unlucky with the games and then start chasing after the losses. And it reaches a point where you will suffer from irreversible losses. Experienced gamblers know how to avoid this situation. It is mostly first timers who get trapped in the never ending cycle of losses. But in the end, the individual is responsible for his actions.

[Meistro]

That is brutal.  Oh well, he can always get a job or go  on welfare.

[Obito]

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.

It's a matter of perspective, for me 20k pounds is a lot of money if converted to my local currency. That's invalidation if you don't know about that. Also, this is just a one night spree so I think that would still qualify as a lot of money, I do agree anyone who does happen to be in that situation, I think that they will need help and a family intervention.

pre care and main care are important because if it done right the gambler wont become addicted again but if they are not sure of the pre care and main care that they do thats the time they need to conduct a after care  .
 all types of addiction is seriously dangerous and should be treated imediately by the help of a parent , relative and friends of the addicted person if they cant be able to surrender themselves in the rehabilation centers  .

I think that the three timelines that I have set should have equal importance because a lot of people forgot about the after care where the user is the most vulnerable since these are the parts where they are cold turkey.

[Mauser]

That is brutal.  Oh well, he can always get a job or go  on welfare.

Good luck getting 20,000 back from welfare. Even with a normal job saving 20,000 is a lot of work. It takes years to save such kind of money and being able to lose it in one night is devastating. We need to be more careful with our money and engage in risk management to protect us from going bankrupt. A gambling addiction makes everything worse because we lose control of our spending habits. But still if we are ever at risk to lose those kind of sums we should pull the plug and take a break.

for sure he already learn what gambling online is all about and how this will change His life in a matter of hours only so best to learn from this Guys.

20,000 Euro is Huge amount considering that i am from 3rd world country and losing this overnight would never  be in my folio 

Maybe this person was under the influence of alcohol or drugs? Then it is very easy to lose any amount of money at the casino in one night!
I know that gambling addicts often have other addictions as well... I remember once drunkenly lost a lot of money in the slot machines at that time for me!

or maybe a really curious about it?

[AicecreaME]

Almost same story that my uncle have. He has a friend that his partner in their automotive business, that's way back in early year 2000 which he entrusted their funds that cost $4,000 (that's already a big amount of money especially in the year 2000) to buy latest equipments for their shop. His partner saw a cockpit and has a derbi game on it, he bet all of the said amount and already made $8,000 profit but he never got satisfied and gambled it again the other day until he lost it all, that time, he lost his contact to his business partner that hid himself because he can't pay back the fund that he have lost in gambling.

I guess that's really the saddest part about gambling. If you don't control yourself in the process, you're really gonna end up in a very bad situation on where you'll get crazy and end up your own life. Gambling addiction is not easy to cure but it is curable of course.

As if he can recover that much mentally after losing that within a single night. It's easy to say some solutions to people like him because we're not in his position. But it's hard for him to absorb all of those suggestions because he's still in the mode of shock and disappointment. We're sure that he's going to recover in the future with those means like just going back to normal life and having himself focused in other ways like what you've said like investing. Although we don't have an idea how long he's going to do it and will able to conquer that bad feeling he's experiencing.

how old are you that time ? you have a good memory to remember a old story from your uncle but the situation of his partner is much better because he still has a control to stop after winning and decided to comeback the next day .
 his only mistake is he has a greedy strategy because he yolo or bet all what he win in the previous day.
 all in bets will make you lost in the long run and you uncle should report it to the police to track the guy and pay for what he did .

Self-pity, victimization or blaming the casino and gambling don't solve any problems. There is no easy solutions, but potential solutions are only going to get harder if the gambler get focused on the pain. Money comes and go all the time and nobody should get too attached to it. It's different than losing a beloved person: the amount you lose today, you can recover tomorrow or even more since you set your mindset on this direction.
Good and positive thoughts attract energies of the same kind which help us solving our problems in different areas of our lives, that is what I believe.

Those are easy words to say. Those can be followed by him but getting over what happened can last longer than what we can imagine. If he's a guy that surely can get over it easily then that's good for him. But if you're going to read what's on the first page, he's about to take his life so the trauma and stress that this incident has brought him are harder than you can imagine. Those solutions given are easy to say but applying it to his current state is a question. It's hard to see gamblers ending up with those bad results and starts to think of taking their own lives because they've gambled wrongly and lost a lot.

When seeing those future events on what would happen if we do spend too much then based up on common sense and self realizations you can actually picture it out ahead of time

but we dont know on what would be the consequences further on or what are the things would be mainly affected after you had commited such mistake.Its true that this is something not an easy thing for you to control

when you are already on the actual situation since its really hard to resist on and does matter on someones awareness and sensibility towards the things that he had engaged on.
