The madness of gambling addicts.

[passwordnow]

These were really crazy thinking and one of the worst effects of gambling addiction. But don't think that it's just with a gambling addiction but also with other types of addictions where the vice is requiring money. I don't get it that these people even think and try to harm their own relatives just because they're too severe with the situation that they're in as they want to gamble. He's an old man and sad to see that he's come to an end in his old age like this.

You are right, factors causes addictions.
Let us not talk about the extreme mile of an addict, So many things in life contributes to the WHY behind every addiction. Before an addict crosses batteries like stealing just to satisfy his or her desires,  breaking up in a relationship order than elude the act, and so many detrimental decisions,  there is something merchandising the whole heart. The first and most important thing I will mention is depression.
A lot of people are depressed in different ways which one wouldn't know if not told. The hunt for money has frustrated so many life such that they have no hope than gambling and this is the first cause of addiction before the effect of addictions.

And this is the next level of addiction. A lot of factors, personal and nonpersonal can make someone this crazy. It's truly a madness and effect of those factors that one can do.
A depressed person wouldn't do this and wouldn't harm anyone and will just think of his own welfare. But this is another different situation he thinks that taking money from his very own relative and blood will make suffice it.
Well, it's very clear that doing such should never be tolerated, and if someone is feeling to do something crazy because of gambling, think of it many times.

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"
-cut-

That's why it's called addiction and should be taken seriously. For many people it's not something you can shake off but as addictive as drugs. If you could add possibility of financial gains to drugs, that instantly becomes more addictive as well. There's really no common sense in addictions in general and addicted people are acting very much against their best judgement because they don't get that same kind of dopamine rush from anywhere else.

I don't know what you mean by gambling responsibly. It's a form of entertainment, you can't get a
casino in a casino without a license. The government is trying to make it legal
properly, but they won't do it. There's no way to win a lottery, and that's
impossible.

[Dzwaafu11]

The problem is how you put gambling, if done only for fun in spare time is not a problem. But when gambling is done as a substitute for permanent work, this will be far more problematic and it is very difficult to control, the decision is in each of us and as much as possible avoid addiction in gambling.

Indeed, my friend. It all depends on how you interpret your gambling experiences. If you view them as something you do every day, you'll inevitably become dependent on them. Although what @lizarder said is the right course of action, if you gamble regularly, you run the risk of becoming addicted. Which, in my opinion, will result in a variety of outcomes because no one can control it any longer, especially for some young people who have no other employment options.Since they have nothing else to do besides spend what little money they have on gambling, I think that some people must be addicted to it. Once their money runs out, they may then engage in dishonest activities like scamming, robbing people of their property, or selling their own possessions.

It is simple, gambling responsibly means do your gambling activity in moderation.  Meaning a player needs to take a break, gamble what he can afford to lose, give limit to his gambling expenditures, think that gambling as means of entertainment and not as source of income.  In short, applying self discipline while engaging in gambling activity.  If you wanted to read more about explanation on responsible gambling, you can read these articles[1][2]

Exercising control and informed choice to ensure that gambling is kept within affordable limits of money and time, is enjoyable, in balance with other activities and responsibilities, and avoids gambling-related harm.

The article[2] suggest these method in achieving responsible gambling:

Ways of achieving this include:

• ensuring gambling is affordable by not gambling with money needed for necessities (such as bills or food)
• ensuring gambling doesn’t dominate your leisure time, and you are engaging in other social and leisure activities
• avoiding borrowing money or using a credit card to gamble
• avoiding gambling when under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, or as a way to manage emotions when you are bored, depressed or anxious
• setting limits around how much and long you with gamble for, setting a limit on your maximum bet size, and avoiding increasing bets when winning or losing.

Additional tips for people gambling online include:

• setting limits on how much you can gamble by only using websites with a daily limit spend
• avoiding having multiple online gambling accounts.

If only people who loves to engage in gambling activity are keen to follow these guidelines, this madness of being a gambling addicts can be avoided.

When addiction occurs you will go beyond your limits even though the consequences are bad, you still pursue it until you lose yourself that's why there are lots of rehabs facilities because those people are already out of control and they seriously needed some expert to help them get rid of their addiction. More on, this addiction is involving money and people do not always have that thing especially when they are currently jobless or have no source of income at all. if you happened to see such kind of man, you automatically lost your trust in him because you know what might he gonna do. I used to live with such people and they won't gonna hesitate to steal when the owner was not there or not even looking because of their stupid addictions.

they are losing their logical thinking once you are too deep with something. you can't reason to these people anymore. they need some kind of professional intervention, if they finally decide to change their path.
as they have no concept of what is right and what is wrong anymore because they are clouded by their strong desires, they will commit such crimes just to cater such impulses.

[BobK71]

Too hard to imagine how this thing happens but too unfortunate that it really exists.
Addiction is too powerful that a person could really change their behavior and will commit criminal activities for the sake of fulfilling their addictions.
I can really attest to this one, although it was a different story with that person OP but the reason is the same and he committed a crime (stealing) because of gambling addiction. He is not like that before but due to addiction, send him to jail.

Whatever addiction it is, it won’t be totally good for a person. So much more in gambling, where you can’t control the urge anymore and you’ll eventually find ways to pursue gambling, even if it means committing crimes. Actually, there’s a lot of cases that are related to this. And it only ends with same situation, either the addict is put to jail or they commit suicide so they can skip from the people who might sue them.

People should understand the dangers of gambling addiction, so they should really stay away from it and not approach it. But that's what happened to that person so that person should really overcome his gambling addiction and try to cure it, especially if he can go to jail, at least he has a lot of free time to cure his addiction. But it will take time, especially if his gambling addiction is very bad and he must really know that he is in a big problem that must be resolved immediately.

When people become addicted to gambling they do not realize their addiction. Many people know about addiction but cannot control it. Moreover, if one cannot control the addiction by himself, it is difficult for others to protect him from that addiction. Also, I don't think that jail is very useful in saving a person from gambling addiction. If the gambler can't give up by his own self, the gambler is likely to become addicted to gambling once he is released from prison. But naturally, when a gambler abstains from gambling for a long time, he learns to control him self.

[Negotiation]

To prevent gambling addiction one must first learn to control oneself because it completely depends on the person himself. The young generation is attracted to various gambling sites out of curiosity to become unemployed. Starting from the investment of 5-10 thousand taka, getting greedy and losing lakhs of taka is making their life more miserable. Instead of this habit, you have to prepare yourself by analyzing the harmful effects and symptoms or the reasons behind it at least I have come to this decision myself I want to quit gambling. I want to get rid of gambling as the demand is at a level where self restraint is difficult, it is necessary to seek the help of a professional or professionals.

[ethereumhunter]

If one understands the dangers of gambling addiction and must stay away from it then the only way is to never try to get into gambling because anyone who has entered into gambling has the potential to become a gambling addict.
So far, there are lots of gambling addicts who are difficult to cure unless there is intention and self-will to recover, so one can further limit the gambling activities that he has done.
Yes, when an addict has to deal with the law and ends up in prison they have the opportunity to recover until they stop gambling, which was always done before, but sometimes after they are free, there will be another desire that will appear to gamble again, and this is something that is hard to avoid.
Especially if they live in an environment full of freedom and an environment where there are lots of gambling activities, it is still possible for them to return to how they used to be where they liked gambling.

A gambling addict who has been affected for a long time will be difficult to cure. He also will not be able to see that he has a gambling addiction because he only knows how to gamble and does not know how to stop. Only other people could see him make the mistake of gambling non-stop.

If gambling addicts have to deal with the law and end up in prison, they must be developed to cure their gambling addiction so that they will not return to gambling when they get out of prison. This also requires help from his family, where with increased support from the family can give more confidence to the gambling addict. He will also think about getting well soon and not wanting to repeat his mistake.

When people become addicted to gambling they do not realize their addiction. Many people know about addiction but cannot control it. Moreover, if one cannot control the addiction by himself, it is difficult for others to protect him from that addiction. Also, I don't think that jail is very useful in saving a person from gambling addiction. If the gambler can't give up by his own self, the gambler is likely to become addicted to gambling once he is released from prison. But naturally, when a gambler abstains from gambling for a long time, he learns to control him self.

A gambling addict can only ask for help from other people to help him get out of gambling. Unfortunately, many gambling addicts do not realize they are experiencing gambling addiction. Only other people can see his gambling addiction. If other people also don't care about him, he will have no hope of recovery unless there is a desire from him who has been awakened to the dangers of gambling. The punishment given to a gambling addict can only prevent him from gambling for a while but if the addict is not helped to recover, he will return to gambling again. It will continue to repeat itself without stopping and maybe the government needs to help by setting up a rehabilitation center for addicts.

The end point of your statement was true. If you are already addicted, there's a need for professional help.

Self-admission is also one of the factors that keeps you stay and keeps your engagement to go deep. Gambling without control brings
a lot of problems not only with finances but also with your mental health.

You need to have a strong will to stay away and be ready to quit. It takes time and lots of determination before you can
truly free yourself out from gambling.

make it a habit to gamble for fun and only to spend a small amount of money. Spare that you can easily let go and forget.

In such stories, I am always amazed how blind relatives are. They knew that kidnapper for ages, they new his behaviour, thoughts (it is not hard to predict elder peoples intentions and moves, as with age, they turn to more and more to children like), they probably knew his addiction to gambling. I mean they could have foreseen that grandpa is intend to do something weird. I see one major problem here - why Yuan family did not do anything with his gambling addiction?

[Reid]

Wow, that's hardcore. I only see this kind of act in movies. If I remember it right, this is the same story as that in Man of Fire where Denzel Washington was the bodyguard who saved the daughter. His own father used her and let her be kidnapped to get money and save his business.

It is madness indeed. I don't have any daughter, but I won't let my son's life be in jeopardy just because of my habitual disease. It's not right. There is a chance that the kid might be traumatize about what happened to him and he will carry it until he gets old.
The father should've just sold his life instead of involving his own kids for his own problem.

I don't know what you mean by gambling responsibly. It's a form of entertainment, you can't get a
casino in a casino without a license.

There are many things associated with gambling using a particular casino, fine and good the end result of every gambler should be fun but we need to be very careful in other not to turn those fun the regrettable moment in gambling when you choose a wrong casino, any KYC casino must undergoes government approval for licensing, this should be the ideal way of its expected to be, we should correct or avoid little errors that may comes in through gambling.

The government is trying to make it legal
properly, but they won't do it. There's no way to win a lottery, and that's
impossible.

It depends on the country you are, but in general terms, gambling is not kifked against as an evil act, it's an opportunity people take to have fun with each other unlike lottery where you only apply and get selected by a governing body.

Addiction to gambling is a serious thing that many people fail to realize.

When anyone is addicted to gambling, he or she is out of his mind and he/she fails to distinguish between right and wrong. They have the urge and need to gamble for that they will sell their things, take loans, and do whatever they can for gambling. Even though they are losing in gambling yet they still want to take more risks with the hope to win. Such people are a burden to their families as their families have to suffer a lot of financial issues because of this bad habit of addicted gamblers.

Yes, the role of the family also plays an important role in cases like this, they cannot remain silent when they see the strange behavior of one of their families. And if they see something strange and they continue to let it go, then I think the family also had a hand in the "crimes" committed by the family itself. A good approach from the family, in my opinion, can make them realize that what their family members are doing is wrong and this is where we really have to be sensitive to the environment around us, don't let us ignore something that is taken for granted, because that will be disastrous later.

Addiction is very serious or on a critical stage when you considered this kind of situation in your head just to maintain the gambling addiction you have. It's like you are addicted on drugs when you do this kind of thing. Being financially responsible is the least you can expect with a gambling addict but making it worst like this or affecting your own family financial status is just a very irresponsible move. I'm an addicted gambler before but I didn't get into this kind of situation, Affecting others with your addiction more over breaking the law because of the addiction you have is just very serious. Person who even think of this needed a psychological help from a professional.

[Fesatmas]

Gambling causes depression and depression leads to committing crime, in the heydays of online cockfighting here in our country, people are committing crimes even to their families, just so they can play online cock fighting.
Gambling is like a drug if you cannot handle the way you take it, you will be miserable.
Imagine committing a crime against your family because you know that your family will forgive you because they want to preserve their family's unity.

Addiction is a bad thing in every way, it will make a person fixated on one thing, both in gambling and in anything, in my country it is the same about cock gambling being the reason for him to steal, even though it is just stealing, but there is nothing reasonable about it. forcing the will to do gambling by doing negative things, even crazy like that.
The story that OP showed makes me worried in my environment, because today there are so many people who do online gambling, I am afraid that some of them will get out of control of their minds so they will go crazy like the parents told by OP.

I think we have to be more careful with what's happening today in our environment, I hope it's not like that in my environment.

I used to live with such people and they won't gonna hesitate to steal when the owner was not there or not even looking because of their stupid addictions.

I noticed that the number of rehab facilities seem to grow over the last few tears, or at least the advertising from them. These days there seem to be special rehab programs for all types of addictions. It's a good thing as people also seem to be more willing to seek help and try to change their situation. The difference between a drug, alcohol or gambling addiction is, that in the latter case you are likely to use much more of your money. In severe cases you might even gamble away all your savings before realising that you need help. So it might be much harder for a gambling addict to afford rehab. Hopefully there is special assistance programs in place for the most serious cases. Personally I have managed to stay clear of a gambling addiction, even though I already gamble for many years. This might be due to the strict rules I put on myself, with the most important one being to have a fixed gambling budget for every week or month. Having a hard cap on my bankroll helped to not chase losses, which usually leads to even larger losses.

To the family, its gonna be harder to forgive the old man kidnapping his own blood to satisfy his addiction. The man disregards everyone in the family but himself.

Asians have different culture which they have a strong family bond and they respect the elders. But this is too much. This might not be his first offense so there could be petty crime he did in the past too which his family had ignored.
