The madness of gambling addicts.

[AicecreaME]

I agree with your opinion, that a gambler will not become an addict if he is aware of all the risks when playing, if he plays too much, puts money in the hope of winning, of course that is impossible, on the contrary he will lose. all the money will be lost. And that will cause problems in his family and the problem in him is that he will regret having done that without thinking about other people.

In the case of gambling addicts they are harmful not only to the family but also to the society. At the beginning greed works in them to get more and when the rush reaches the point of desperation when everything is lost, taking a break from gambling will seem like the last thing you want, but it is necessary. Leaving gamblers after losing their large amount of money will give you the space and time to evaluate why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. But a responsible gambler does not get greedy after earning a profit, they know the right rules of gambling so they are less likely to suffer.

Gambling addiction can really ruin a life and relationship. It can destroy you in every way possible and it can cause negative effect to the people close to you such as your family and to your friends. Addiction can bring trouble to you in terms of financial and even be a burden to your close ones because they might be the collateral damage for your irresponsibility. Greediness can bury you to pile of debts and loans. It will just bring you so much liabilities that might be too heavy to handle which could cost you a lot more later on. Self-reflection is much needed so that you won't be dependent to gambling.

Very few people normally have the mind to leave after they have suffered loss,the only thing that rings in the mind of a loser is to try again,but it's always very unfortunate that the winning won't still come,which is always  really frustrating.
Gambling addiction is one thing that has destroyed so many lifes,but addicts find it very difficult to stop it because the spirit that backs gambling is stronger than one can even imagine or think of.It just what one needs to do with caution to avoid being in a serious mess of not being able to do without it,which has had so many person lose their lifes as a result of depression.

I do not know if we should take the spirit to gamble as positive or negative. If something is done to an extent that we cannot think and keep on injecting money to recover the loss, then it is the fault of the gambler. How on earth a sensible person keep investing and playing from where is he getting constant loss?

This is where the addiction part comes in. If you are addicted to anything like gambling, you will never want to stop. It is also not only about the loss, even the addicted gambler will keep gambling even if he is winning a good amount. The motive in this case is to gather more money and become rich through gambling.

yes.. indeed, addiction to gambling can be influenced by our own views on gambling, because when we talk about gambling as "fun" then we will be normal when gambling, but things are different when we think that when gambling is for a profit, where in the end we will lose control and continue to chase victory.

Most of the gamblers say that they are playing gambling for fun but in reality, their focus is to make money. When your aim is to get money from gambling, that's where the problem starts. You start to think differently. On every loss, we (the gambler who is addict) become more aggressive and put more money to recover the loses.

Greed is what makes them so aggressive when gambling. A gambling addict is never grateful for the winnings he gets, he always wants more than the winnings he previously got. So that what happens is only a loss that he gets in gambling. But once addicted to gambling, it will be very difficult to get out of this zone. I consider that gambling addiction is like we are trapped in quicksand, which when we are more acting and behaving carelessly in gambling, what happens is that we will only sink deeper.

Unfortunately, they are not and or they don't care about it, they are on the side where they are thinking that they are still
in control of what they are doing.

Sad true that when someone got addicted, they are not the only one who's getting the problem, but also
those who are close with them, especially the family that cares about them or the family who are relying
with them. All are also affected and if the person would not accept it, the problem will be keep worse.

Yes, of course this is very difficult to do if he has become an addict and is ignorant of good advice from the people around him.
You are right, new problems will just happen if he doesn't control his gambling, including in his own family. Because the family will also feel great disappointment at losing money that should not have happened, and the addict immediately realizes and starts thinking about how to overcome it, the best thing is that he should stop and apologize to his family so as not to repeat it a second time.

[DaMut]

that is the extent to which some addicts can go to satisfy their desires. its possible that its not the first he will go that extreme to find money to gamble. lets now say he succeeded with the kidnapping, am pretty sure he will repeat it with another person and thats how he will become a kidnapper and also from there he will become more creative with bad things. thats why its always good to put limit to things.

However, they have to do that if they have experienced loss, especially if they have lost too much. That is self-control so as not to experience more defeats. With self-control, a person will not get frustrated because he knows he cannot always win from gambling and will not chase those wins. But when someone loses self-control, he will not pay attention to everything and will instead continue gambling because he wants to chase an even bigger win. He also won't care if he becomes addicted to gambling, so he will want to gamble even though he has won. But if he experiences loss, he will be angry and will not stop before he can recover his losses. Otherwise, he will become frustrated because that is the result experienced by someone who has lost at gambling.

Addiction to gambling will eventually turn it into a problem. Restraint and awareness of boundaries are crucial. Realising that gambling shouldnt be viewed as a way to make ends meet or as a means of recovering losses is crucial. And thats when the problems start. With a thorough knowledge of the risks involved, its all about enjoyment and fun.

Here, the easy rule to follow is to never risk more than you can afford to lose. Its about having fun and accepting the result, not about running after losses or aiming for large wins. Addiction arises when we lose sight of this and start to perceive gambling as a means of achieving wealth or a way out of financial difficulties. Your observations are quite insightful as they serve as a helpful reminder to exercise caution and mindfulness when we gamble in order to avoid becoming an addiction.

It would be quite a leap to go from being a problem gambler to a recurrent kidnapper, if you ask me. Obviously, someone who take such a desperate decision have gone through other ways to get some money to fuel their addiction. He may have taken some money left around by his family and friends, or even scam someone, but when people realize that could not longer get any, his madness pushed him turn into a kidnapper.

Quite sad story if we consider something like this can happen to reputable and lovely people of our same family tree.

Yes, all good and bad things can happen to anyone. We must be able to maintain good relationships and communication with our family so that if we have a gambling addiction problem, they will notice our change in attitude and they will most likely help us get out of the gambling cycle.

Gambling is never wrong because after all it is a place to get fun, if the casino has made you stressed by losing a lot of money then just leave it, go to the casino if we are ready to lose money and it does not make us stressed

Some of the gambler in the gambling was full filled their desire after the winning from the gambling.But to achieve this win,he need to do gambling very dedicatedly.Even he may force to loss some money because of the continuous game.If you had regular income from the salary,then you are eligible for the gambling.Some people use the gambling as their full time job,taking gambling as their full time job is not the recommended one.Some gamblers doing the kidnapping for the gambling money,to avoid such betting.The family member should give money to the gambler to avoid of illegal action.

How many homeless forks are going to keep sleeping on the street due to the aftermath pf gambling addiction and its resultant effects on the victims who have become utterly vulnerable to the extent of not being,  able to control their gambling emotions and acts that result in them losing out many things to the point of becoming a destitute in the street?

A lot of other worst situations are always at play in most gamblers' lives who are easily addicted,  and out of control,  some of them have slid into full-time depression and all manner of other ugly situations.

That's right, it's really sad if we see the condition of addicts like that. It has been proven a lot around us, but there are still many people who are not aware and many are addicted to gambling.
Even though it is certain that someone who is out of control will definitely experience bad things in his life, he will never feel happy because the high emotion of winning will actually be a disaster for him in the future. Savings run out, the future is bad, experiencing new problems in the family and even depression caused by uncontrolled gambling, not having a good mindset in carrying out gambling, and it would be very unfortunate if this happened to ourselves.

[Lucasgabd]

There are gamblers who gamble with common sense they are not addicted to the gambling and therefore they are not trouble some for the families and friends.

It is only those gamblers who are addicted , become annoying for their families, use excessive money and even their mood and their way of life becomes extremely disturbed cause of the gambling addiction.

If all heavy gamblers were aware of the excessive activities they were doing, there would be no such thing as a gambling addict. there will be no future for a gambling addict if they continue to follow their greedy desires and have no intention of changing it, in my country online gambling addiction is a real concern for the government, there are many parties who are at a loss, apart from that the average gambling addict will be involved in bad loans, their families will continue to be victims.

do you think gambling companies shouldn't exist, their use should be more strict or people should have their freedom to use it if they want but we should provide more educational resources for people to learn and protect themselves so they don't fall victims of their own lack of control?

interesting to think about it.

[kingvirtus09]

That is some truly criminal act and I am sorry but I have known a lot of gambling addicts that have done several sort of things,like spent the money they had from work to buy things,like accountants and finance people who then were fired but I have never seen until now someone kidnapping his own granddaughter for keeping his burning desire alive,a lot of people do some nasty shit but this is out of my reach.

I have been a gambling addict until 2020-2021 myself but I have greatly recovered since then and I never look back.Even in my deepest form of addiction I never did such acts and no acts at all because I knew I was in the wrong.

In all honesty, such kind of circumstance is unusual and pretty bizarre. Think that you can kidnap your own grandaughter just because you have a gambling addiction; a person with a normal mentality is not capable of doing that. These are but a few consequences of addiction. It will undoubtedly have negative effects if it is not addressed.

So long as the addiction can be managed, don't let it ruin the family or have an impact on our own personalities. Start making changes gradually if they are possible so that they don't wind up getting worse.

I think gambling companies are difficult to close if they have become a necessity for someone's life, but as you said there should be limits or socialization for players in the future so that users can limit their games so they don't become addicts.

Talking about limits, some gambling sites have an option to help you know how much you spend on gambling weakly, monthly etc and they also have options to help you restrict your self just should in case you think you are tending towards addiction, you can place restrictions on your account for a period of time after which you can come back or if you want you can permanently restrict your account.

I want gambling sites to add to their sites an option that allows gamblers set daily limits and it should be such that it could not be further adjusted until a certain number of days probably 7-14 days or more have been exceeded then you can rest or adjust your daily limit, this wi definitely help gambler control their gambling habit so as not to turn addicts and blame it on the gambling sites.

They can aswell add maximum daily drawdown to help keep the gambler in check so once they exceed their draw down they can not place a bet for the day until after 24hrs, I know this may seem like it will reduce the income of the site but then on the long run it will actually bring people to them as people will be glad they are concerned and are helping them keep their gambling habit in check

It is very difficult to close a gambling company, because in reality gambling is very popular among people, both as a form of entertainment and as a source of additional income in one's life. It is true that self-knowledge is also needed here, because without good knowledge and self-control a person will not become a gambler or gambling addict.
If you are going to get involved in gambling, of course you have to think about limits in playing and financial limits, with the aim of minimizing the risks that we will experience.

It depends on the type of gambling, if it's a type of gambling that has a large company, it might be difficult to close because they pay very high taxes, of course it won't be easy, but if it's a small type of gambling, I think it can be closed with the help of many people of course.
There is a lot of online gambling now and it is very disturbing and very easy to access If we are not careful, we can lose control and become addicted. Currently, many people are addicted to gambling and lose a lot to the point of taking out online loans just to carry out gambling activities to catch up on their losses of course this will have a bad impact because if we continue to chase losses continue to lose and the profits we get will be less than the losses we experience

There are companies that mostly creates adverts for gambling, they generates significant profits from these gambling ads from online posts. Ofcourse we can't bring them down rather create awareness among people about the dangerous activities pulled by these gambling relatable ads. There's one thing we should know, we can't permanently stop gambling because it's general and have spread to developed and developing countries across the globe. We can only educates young minds on the dangers of gambling and provide preventive measures that would reduced the activity to its minimum ratio.
