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

[Naficopa]

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)

Unfortunately, addiction does just that. There are no limits for an addicted person. As in this case, people go into debt as long as they can, because they still believe that there will be a big win that will allow them to pay off all their debt. Unfortunately, this is not happening in most cases. The only way out is, as this guy did, admit that you are addicted and seek help from specialists.

One of the primary reasons why people stay addicted for long is to win big. They think a big win will solve financial and all other problems in their lives.

For this very man greed was his problem £20000 is a huge sum that can afford a very lucrative business. Giving such huge amount on gambling shows his high level of greed and people of this kind can do anything just to make money not minding if it's legal or not. I wish he recovers soonest because this can cause a man to commit sucide.

He can build a small gambling business with that amount and instead of him gambling he will let others to gamble in his casino while he only sit there and collect cash . depends of the person if this guy is first time to gamble this high then he is no doubt a Verry greedy person but if he is used to this then I don't think the term will fit in him . Also not all are going to commit suicide so don't worry too much  .

I guess he does not realize using that big money and still uses that money to gamble because if he is aware, he will not spend too much money playing gambling. Using too much money as that, of course, gives him a big risk of losing the money, especially in gambling because we do not know when we can win or lose. It is a good lesson for us not to use too big money while we can build a new business that can give us profit in the future.

you wont realize it if you start small and gradually increase or deposit more because what your only thinking is how can you recover your previous losses but if you start with a huge amount its impossible to not notice it but some people are not business minded  .
they dont like to commit a hard work or dont like to wait for the result but they only gamble because they think it was more easier and faster .

Don't think so, I am pretty sure that someone who gambles are sober enough to know that the money that they spend on gambling is pretty big and they know that what they're doing is right. If you have the money to lose that much amount, I think it's pretty alright for them to spend it plus it's not like those people who spend money on gambling is always poor.

In the first place, A poor will never gamble with that huge amount of money because it's very hard for them to earn that much money. It's either you are right about the person lose still has a lot of money on his purse or the person is just bet his life savings for a fortune just like what Mansour Bahrami did when he lost all his money at one night on gambling.

They've been trap in the mindset and urges that if they tried to play again for another chance they will get back the amount that they lost. Trying their luck and lucky time came they win at first and then trying again believing that they will gonna win again but all the amount that they brought on the gambling site losted again and worst they fell into debt, additional debt. I think I saw this kind of scenario in the movies but I know this is happened in the real life situation. I felt bad to those being trapped with this.

but he regrets this the rest of his life , meaning he is also a small time gambler who only tries his chance of a lifetime but failed . maybe this will be remembered all the moment of his precious life how he managed to lose a amount in which can change his life for goodness if chooses the right decision.

one of the biggest problems in these cases is that even when the person is always complaining and then the person overcomes this problem and starts to take care of their life away from gambling, someone will always appear who will be condemning you for having lost a lot of money, even when many years pass there will always be someone who complains and condemns the person who lost a lot of money in games of chance, this is because to buy anything you need to have money and the trend is that the less money the person does not have people always remember the day you had a lot of money and lost. Is a cycle that never ends well

and most of the scenes in the movies are based on true stories that occur in the field.  addicts are caught in a loop of deception that makes them think they will always win, they forget that they have run out of money or have excess time playing gambling but keep playing because of that greed.  debt in gambling is a stupid act because it will definitely be difficult to pay, sad for those trapped in the debt.

There are lot of other useful things we can do with what we are spending in gambling but while gambling you will ever realize this fact which is the reason why you are spending all your hard earned money in gambling in quicker manner. I am sure this kind of lessons have been shared in this community for more than one hundred times still people are committing same kind of mistakes again and again which means people will never learn anything out of this forum but each and everyone coming up with their own lessons for others and that too after losing big bankroll.

For rich people then this wont really be a big issue but for those who do have only average income or finance status then that would really be a regrettable things in life.

This is why if you dont like to fucked up yourself then you should be aware on the risk about gambling addiction.You shouldnt tolerate on what you do have in mind.

Gambling is for entertainment and never intend to make it as a source of income because if you do then you would surely be having problems later on.

Everyone has a different level of financial. and sometimes the problem is someone over do it than his limit. the most important thing is to be able to restrain yourself and know your own  limits and financial, self control is the most important thing. because when the money is in hand no one can control our own desires other than ourselves. do not equate financial level with others because it will definitely be different.

Being rich is not an excuse to get addicted in gambling because there are so many rich people and their stories about becoming poor again because of gambling so this might also happen if you didn’t control yourself. Losing millions of money in gambling is already alarming and a sign of addiction to me, better to get off and start analyzing your gambling activities before you continue.

If they do not like hard work and only expect to make money from gambling, they only dream about that because all of us need to work hard to achieve what we want. But playing gambling for making money will not be a solution for them even if they add more money to tried to recover their losses. But I do not deny that some people can recover their losses, even winning a lot of money from gambling. But not many of them will have big luck in gambling.

Don't think so, I am pretty sure that someone who gambles are sober enough to know that the money that they spend on gambling is pretty big and they know that what they're doing is right. If you have the money to lose that much amount, I think it's pretty alright for them to spend it plus it's not like those people who spend money on gambling is always poor.

I guess they will think that what they did is right because they do not ask about the other opinion how if they do that. But if they try to ask others, they will see that what they did is wrong and they will only lose that money. Yes, they are sober about playing gambling, but their minds seem closed by the passion for winning much money. That is why we might see other people lose some big money from gambling without getting a chance to recover.

There are lot of other useful things we can do with what we are spending in gambling but while gambling you will ever realize this fact which is the reason why you are spending all your hard earned money in gambling in quicker manner.

I think they already learned much from these stories, but that does not make them always realize what they did in gambling. So that makes them continue playing gambling and pretend that someday, that will be their time to win much money. It is worth keeping our hard earned money for our life instead of using it for playing gambling, which does not guarantee us to win the money. We really need to take care of our money and if somehow we want to play gambling, we must remember knowing how much money we want to spend.

it doesnt matter how much you lost in gambling but on how you can accept that losses , there always big and bigger losses time after time.
everyone are indeed cannot get away from it especially when you do it online and nobody can cheer you up directly,  a deep thinking to feel regret etc is just normal as a human nature.
a man can lost 20 million dollar at a single bet and feel just okay if he knows the risk and be wise.
but a man can be so desperate and giving up on his life with a loss of $500. so the thing is that gambling must be done responsibly. doing it alone are not advised.

No, he won't regret that for the rest of his life. He will regret it temporarily but he won't bring that forever, he might bring that for a long time but I doubt that he's going to regret that forever.
He's going to remember how reckless he was and that's for sure.

That's just money, you can earn money but if you lose your health because you can't live a normal life anymore, that's bigger than the money you lose. Losing big money is not good, but we can always move on and live our life, try to improve our life financially by working hard, and be positive going forward.

There are gamblers who lose a lot of money due to addiction, but eventually, they beat the addiction and live a normal life, some people even still able to return in gambling but more responsible.

Agree, maybe from the perspective of outsiders like us and reading information from different countries, this amount can be a very large number but let's take the stance of one person going to work in high-income developed countries, the money this man is losing can only be a few years of savings and he will never forgive himself and never gamble again. Such a lesson will help a man grow up and know how to work hard to earn money, the fact that he loses so little and stays so long gambling, sometimes it will be worse than the money he is losing right now

Getting addicted to gambling is very bad. I wondered how this man would lose such huge Amount in one night. He will definitely regret this for the rest of his life. He  probably wanted to win big, but ended up losing £20,000. Gambling without setting your limit always result to losing huge funds. I pray he survive this, because it may lead to him committing suicide. Is not good when one eventually make gambling a mean of making money. It leads to gambling addiction.

I won't say "that's just money". We don't know how he worked hard for that but it's also his fault for gambling that amount within a quick time frame.
The impact mentally that it has given will be there but if he wants to recover, he shouldn't let that disappoint put him into that situation forever since there's still a way to recover it through working and other legitimate means.

To be objective, this amount is not critical for developed countries. In fact, this is income for 5-6 months (I can be wrong, but not much). Therefore, I would agree with the statement that it is just money. They can be earned again. And by the way, everyone who, for example, did not buy Bitcoin or Ethereum cheaply has potentially lost much more
