The madness of gambling addicts.

[piebeyb]

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.

Gamblers who cannot control themselves will definitely lose a lot of money as well as assets because basically there is no gambling that can be won unless they manage to control themselves, cases like this are common in heavy addicts so they can commit crimes to achieve their need for gambling. I will never invite anyone to gamble, either friends or relatives, because I don't want to harm other people either.

The dangers of gambling when we play cannot control ourselves let alone other people. I will worry that it can ruin many other people's lives. You should stay away from gambling if you cannot control yourself properly because it is important to avoid losing a lot of money and assets, especially your family.

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

The man in this story should never be allowed to see his daughter again or anywhere around children. He is a risk to them. Now he has destroyed his relationship his family forever. That what gambling does. It firsts destroys the life of the gambler then it goes on to destroy the relationship with the family and friends. If can't gamble with discipline then do not gamble at all. Gamblers need new friends and new hobbies. Sometimes, your environment and associations has its way of holding you down and holding you back. I hope we learn from this pathetic story.

Why not? It's hard for the child to grow up without a father, you know. The father can still be forgiven but he needs to promise that he will now change his life for the better. Gambling didn't do this incident so don't put the blame on it.

This is why gambling got a bad reputation because people often mistaken it as bad when in fact the problem is with them or the person that over gambles but I agree that we need a friend if we are lonely but we need to choose them wisely.  Finding a new hobby is also a great suggestion. Both of them can prevent us from becoming a gambling addict because we can now spend less time in this activity.

I agree with the things you have said. We often feel that when bad things happen we always blame it to crypto or in gambing of course, but the is we should be the one responsible for that matter, if we are losing frequently it us becayse we tend to make all things to get the money back to us.

Gambling is an art that's meant to be followed with pure discipline and self set rules of limitations without which a gambler is bond to take up any act to making sure he or she stays in the game no matter the consequences that may follow from such action. Primarily when a gambler lacks a discipline in himself towards gambling habit then he is heading forward to addiction and the resultant effect is such as this one with the case of kidnapping to raise funds as to keep up with the gambling addiction.

As gamblers we should learn how to express ourselves to our close trusted friends and relations on what we're passing through indulging in gambling as this can be helpful when we learn to share a struggling addictive lifestyle before it gets worsen.

I am still amazed to this day about people who have lost their minds because of their obsession with getting money at gambling even though all of this is just a trick of their mind, why don't they stop for a moment when they run out of capital instead of committing crimes just to get money for gambling capital again. everyone has responsibility for themselves but gambling addicts seem to have lost their minds, gambling is never bad but the mind of the gambling addict is already corrupted.

A great contribution indeed, but even as true as your comment is, the unfortunate fact remains that, most human beings will always find something to blame their misfortune on, it is just the way the human mind is wired, it takes great training, learning and energy to break free from such mindset.

I've seen criminals who when caught and being beaten, blame their parents inability to give them the kind of money they want for their upkeep, as a reason why they went into stealing..
They say this with all seriousness, hoping to find mercy from the angry mob, forgetting that there are still People who's parents are poorer, but yet, worked hard legitimately to fend for themselves, family and even the poor parents included.

Gambling is an addictive habit that tends to damage an individual thinking if not curtailed, a chronic gambler can do anything in other to satisfy his gambling urge it is not easy for a gambling addict to make the decision to either gamble less or stop totally unless he is been educated on the effects of over gambling to individuals.

You would really be always be having that something to say if we do speak about reasons on why we have done that, not only on stealing or whatever that results into bad outcome, there's always a reason on which you could be able to tell someone on why you have done that. When we do speak about those gambling addicts then it wont really be shocking for someone to end up on having that kind of
reasoning on what they have done that and it would really be just that common that there's always that someone on whom they would gonna blame out.It is really just that sad to see that there are
people who had been consumed out by addiction on which they do really end up on committing out these criminal acts which arent really be supposed to happen or to do so.

This is in result when addiction gets severe and you dont really have already the money to spend on which you cant really be able to distinguished whats good and bad on the time
where emotion and addiction do kicks in.

[Ebede]

It is so sad that this man has to stop at nothing until his gamble desire is met, this addicts are everywhere the can do anything as far as gambling is concern as such this portrays much danger to the society, People now commit crime in disguise in other to gamble.

[tusandii]

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.

Indeed, he cannot see that he is addicted to gambling, but there is still an awareness that he feels that he is going through a bad phase where he becomes addicted to gambling, it's just that he cannot control his own mind so he can stop gambling.
I'm sure everyone who is addicted is actually aware of it.

After being released from punishment, of course, the family can be the biggest factor in supporting a gambling addict to recover, but on the note that the family must also be able to control his association and environment so that he does not return to gatherings or be in gambling places so that he does not return to being a gambler.

I am always surprised when old people are desperate. At that old age I guess you have nothing left other than family to enjoy yourself. Financial issues are getting resolved anyways if you worked hard you know. Gambling addiction can hit people who have no job, no money, noone to support their life to experience fun etc. I always people who are prone to addictions to spend their free time with hobby. Making music, writing, watching cinema or even dancing can work a lot to solve addiction issues.

But also those people who has work like 8 - 5 jobs which after their work they usually goes to casino and gamble meaning if they do it on daily basis without a miss for sure it can lead to addiction. That is why it is better to have an hobby like sports which it will divert your attention to others than doing gambling

One of the easiest ways to keep yourself out of trouble is to find something that you truly like and in which you are willing to invest a great deal of your time and your effort but that at the same time such an activity is considered to be a plus in your life, and there are many activities like that, it is just that many people prefer the instant gratification they get from gambling and other activities, and this may lead them to develop an addiction.

Addiction will conquer all, gambling addicts who use lust will lose their minds when the mind wants to get back all the money that has been spent on gambling. Smart gamblers prefer reason over passion, they spend money just for fun at the gambling table.
Gamblers need to have clear goals before spending their money in gambling establishments, Another factor that can influence gamblers' minds is using borrowed money to target winnings. Very ironic.

For me working from 8AM to 5PM is really make me tired because I've spend most of my time on my jobs, I only feel free during weekend where I have more spare time to gamble, travelling, shopping or do anything I like. I only gamble for short time during work days because I need to have time with my family especially play with my kids during their golden ages. If someone who have been married and can gamble everyday, seems like he has a problem about gambling addiction.

Most people in the case of gambling when they have experienced a big win always want to get that win back, and think that they will get better when they get that win, after the passage of time they cannot make a return from gambling and think about stopping, but with reasons before stopping. he wants to take back the money he has risked so that the pattern rotates which makes him addicted and has excessive expectations with the gambling he is doing, which in the end when gambling becomes his main need he cannot be kept away from gambling and feels that if he doesn't gamble then his life feels empty, like people who are already addicted to drugs I think the pattern is almost the same in addiction, which makes people do anything to be able to take drugs or gamble even worse to kill/sell/hold people to get a few pennies to gamble.

In fact, in my opinion, even a smart person if his gambling ambition is bigger, it will cover up what he has got as his knowledge, even borrowing to do gambling.
What is clear is that we must be able to control ourselves before something bad happens and if we feel that we are already addicted, it is important for us to tell the people closest to us so that they also help control us.

[Docnaster]

As much as some persons lives has significantly changed because of the huge winnings they were able to get in gambling and the fact that this winnings has triggered millions of people across the globe with the desire to also play bets and as well massively win, one thing that's yet to be addressed is the ignorance by many of this people who wants to gamble but doesn't know the advantages and disadvantages.

It's absolutely unwise for someone who earns $1k monthly to gamble with more than $100 in a month. Because if one should gamble above 10% oh his income and fails to win it'll surely lead to gambling with over 95% of the total income in a bid to recover the lost money thereby making the person an addict

[Alpha Marine]

it's crucial to approach gambling responsibly and with caution.
Keep in mind that gambling should be viewed as some stuff you do for fun, not a way to avoid responsibilities or even as a source of your bread and butter

Not all gambling addicts saw gambling as a source of income. Some started out as a fun thing too like most of us. It started as something they enjoyed and did in their spare time, especially those with deep pockets. They didn't see it as a source of income or as a way to hit it big.
I believe it's a process. They start cautiously, then start going in deeper and deeper, till they get to a stage where they can't pull themselves out anymore. I guess it's the same way with every other addiction, I may be wrong but till proven otherwise, that's how I see it.
So it's not only people that see gamble as a source of income that should be careful, but even those of us that see it as a fun thing too should be careful lest we fall in too deep.

Addition is really a serious issue and its not as easy as you say it to actually stop this act. Gambling addiction grows with you till even your old age because its like a leech that is stuck with someone and only proper management can slow this addiction down and once its properly managed then before you can resolved to finding a way to actually stop this act and it needs to be handle at the early stages if not like you said you will end up selling most of your valuable things and end up useless and worthless at your old age.

That is also what I noticed about my coworkers in my previous job: either they will go to the arena for cockfighting or they will go to other places to get drunk. I feel that they are not tired of doing it, no matter how busy the work is. Even I can't do it, as I want to rest after the work unless it is not a busy day on which I still have spare energy. Though I wouldn't say that they are addicted, as they can still control themselves, it is just part of their daily routine to do it.
