Relying on gamble wins is dangerous to mental health

[Yaunfitda]

I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.

We've heard horror stories about gambling, and I will assume that your friend is playing parlays and the risk is very high on that kind of betting. You really need to be perfect and it will be dishearten to see your bet just missed 1 that ruined your chances to win that big money. I've seen this before, actually I have a friend who also had the a chance to win $20,000, unfortunately, he has bet his last money. But in the next game, he see that his previous bet hit and that he said that he was sick for and even thinking of jumping out of their balcony. So it's very dangerous to us mentally, and if we are not ready, then the worst can happen to us, just saying. I also had like this kind of parlay bet, and it's really hard to see your bet going down the drain with just one mistake.

I think what your friend did was to secure what he earned. For example, if he earned $2500, he would divide the profit so that one was for capital to be used in more gambling games and the other was to be secured. That's why he got sick because he regretted the money he lost. Imagine going from $1 to $250 and back to zero. That would be really depressing for your friend. That should be a lesson to him: not to be greedy; be smart and wise in handling your money or profit properly. and also be disciplined; don't put all that you've earned into gambling.

Hoping to win big is normal, but anyone should be ready for the opposite. I guess your friend placed a parlay bet with odd 2,500x and maybe he lost it because of 1-2 games which is indeed annoying and disappointing moment. I do place parlay bet some time and I know how it feels when a parlay bet is lost due to 1-2 games only but it is how it works. I'm not sure why it makes your friend sick for 3 days, is it his first time try? Is he new to gambling? Fun fact, mental health may come because of both lose and win. Someone who is not ready for both side may lead them into negative effects including mental.

This is the result of having high expectation in gambling. It's understandable if you have a desire of winning a huge amount. However relying on gambling to generate profit is not a good idea, especially if you already became lucky to had that chance of winning a decent amount. But because of greed, you chose to continue playing until you lose it all.

This can affect your mental health due to high hopes. It can make you depress and feel regretful for the mistakes you did. But that's how it is, if you can't bear the fact you can lose money in gambling then better not to try playing. Moreover, don't be too greedy for wanting more if you're already fortunate to win some. Be contented and enjoy your earnings, otherwise you'll regret if the casino take it away from you again.

Tell me if after 3 days he comes back to play and chase what he lost. Because apart from being mentally depressed, you will become ambitious again as if you will win again. Generally, gamblers like this will not be in control, especially after experiencing an unexpected moment with small capital until they are faced with a big win.

I have witnessed various types of mental gamblers who lost everything, not only property, but their families were also affected. Gambling is not about the amount he gets but about how strong he is able to control his mentality when he is required to leave but forces himself to continue playing.

Still, the reason for the reaction is money because if it wasn't money maybe your friend wouldn't be sick.
Too ambitious because he wants to win more, maybe he hopes to get his money above $3000 after the next bet but because he fails, his hopes must fade because of his own greed.

Who is not tempting from $1 to $2500 is like a fool who why not withdraw some money to be able to enjoy, if this kind of behavior is clear he is greedy bigger because he has managed to multiply 2500% in the beginning.

Maybe he will come back and chase that loss.

The title "Stupidity in Gambling Can Be Detrimental to Mental Health" might be more appropriate.

Why do people engage in gambling in the first place? It's supposed to be a source of enjoyment and happiness, not the opposite. Consider what he did, placing just $1 in hopes of winning $2500; that's a reckless approach, and it's highly unlikely that he'll succeed, or it's safe to say that the chances of winning are extremely slim.

Same thing I always tell people, don't put hope on things you are certain about. The worst part is that he hoped on winning a bet, like what made him think that he will definitely win his bet. People should be smart. Gambling is a game of luck, so until you see your winnings, don't make plans on how you want to spend them. His falling I'll make me wonder, if everyone who gambles do same(make plans ahead but don't win) then a lot of us might have been ill or even gave up the ghost(lol). Well we should all learn to gamble responsibly that's a fact.

Making a budget plan on how to spend a bet potential win amount is a very wrong approach because it has the power to affect our mood and mental health so badly due to how high we have raised our hope on the money that's not yet ours only because we believe that the games bets on will surely play. There's no sure betting game, just because every other games in a bet slip has played doesn't mean the last one left has a 100% chances of playing too. In my years of sports bet gambling I have found out that following up the results of our games as they play one after another especially for those matches that has different kick-off time with each match been played and the results favourable to your bet it raises more anxiety and hope which can be detrimental to our psychological health when the last game cuts or lost, that's why I avoid following up the results of my games I bet on. I just check the time the last game will end after which I now check through to know my fate about the bet if it plays fine and if it doesn't, still fine, with so doing it doesn't have a thing on me whatever the results played out.

This is typical human behavior and not mental issues....

People are greedy by nature.... they want to win big and when they do, they want this to continue... and it seldom happens. A lot of people get gambler regret, where you bet a small amount and you win something big, but you still regret not betting a higher amount... thinking that the win would have been so much bigger. 

People should not take gambling too serious..... just have fun and see it as entertainment. 

[brace the mace]

ofc reliable income through gambling is not sustainable. Be careful tryint to use bonuses to earn also.

[Outhue]

The experience you have with your friend is even better than mine, I have a friend that well thought he is going to win in a sports bet and he already make some financial steps with the hope that he would pay back the money with the money he didn't won yet, I don't know about this until he got arrested, he was in debt because he lose the game and he was forced to sign an agreement to start paying back the money every month.

It's crazy how people made plan on money that's not even theirs yet, they have hope which isn't bad but they make plan on something that's not under their control yet, how cray is that? Gambling can ruin anyone if you let it, just by having this dream in your head, like making millions and living a flex life, once you failed you will probably lose your mind and if you have a weak mind you will start doing crazy things because it will be very hard to let go of the dream you have.

It's better to stay away from gambling if you can't get a hold of yourself when it comes to taking risks and financial concentration, I as a person don't dream with gambling, it just doesn't make sense to me, whatever you dream to make from. gambling is probably never going to happen, because 99% of gamblers don't even win most times, it's all luck.

There's a good saying that goes, "Money on the exchange or in the casino isn't truly yours, no matter how much you've won. It only becomes yours when you cash out."

Gambling will definitely put your mental and emotional health at risk. That is the reason why as much as possible, do not see gambling as a means to bring you profits all the time. Gambling will never guarantee us to keep on winning. And believing that gambling can be a reliable source of income is a very dangerous thing. Instead, gamble to make yourself relax and entertained, and not in a way that it will pressure you especially if what you are getting in the end is a series of losses that put your life’s savings in danger.

A lot of folks engage in gambling with the intention of making a profit rather than just for fun. The thrill of winning or losing adds an exciting element, keeping them engaged. Consider this: if there's no potential to win or lose money, and you're playing purely for fun, gambling loses some of its appeal.

The more events in a multibet, the greater the probability of losing this bet, everyone who likes to collect large odds knows this. Most often it happens that one or two events do not allow you to win, so I don’t like multibet games where there are more than two (very rarely more than three) events. Ideally, it would be to make single bets, this will always minimize possible losses. I understand that you want to get x2000 in one game, but you need to understand that most of these bets will be lost.

This is the problem when you win a big amount of money and you think that you have luck or you are good at gambling because eventually the house edge and bad luck will play their part and you will be caught by surprise, not understanding what gambling is and taking it seriously is dangerous, your experience is not isolated so many newbie gamblers experience this.

Gambling is dangerous for gambler's mental health if their approach is wrong, gambling should be for entertainment only not a way to make money, this has been discussed thousands of times but so many players ignore this fact because the mindset changes when you start winning and realization happens when you lose everything.

When i never have deep revelation concerning gambling then if i places a bet would began to think of my problems to solved with the money i have never win for just a game i placed, whenever this games cuts me out or off i will think all the days sometimes i do fell sick and i won't be able to take any food for that day or even to the next day before eating along the line i started getting lean at some point i wasn't able to control myself so decided to stop gambling for while after positioning and learning to build my emotion then may come back. That was how i started then till i overcome that spirit so, today even though placing bet i don't think about it because i know two thing possible ( win or lose).

[Nrcewker]

Gambling is done to make quick profits in shorter period of time. This also means that it should be done in limit and the amount you gambling should be not for savings or emergency funds. I would suggest not to rely on gambling for making consistent money. You can do a part time job to make consistent money and then use some of it to gamble and try your luck. In this way your mental health can be improved.

with a bet amount of $1 to win $2500 does your friend bet on sports betting?

let me guess, is your friend betting for the first time? I mean, if your friend often bets, he certainly not fall ill for 3 days because he failed to win. because someone who has often bet on all types of bets will never feel as deep a disappointment as your friend and usually the disappointment will only appear for a few days and will disappear by itself without having to get sick.

I am a little curious about your friend and I am sure this is the first time he experienced this, even though cases like this have often happened, but no one has fallen ill just because of $1. maybe you need to give him advice and say that gambling is luck and if it fails, just think that the day is ready and gambling will not be that easy to give money to its customers.


TBH, I often experience this in sports betting with multi bets and the bet amount is usually $10-30, but when I fail to get it, it is very disappointing when I fail just because I lose one match, but I dont think about it deeply and I just consider it unlucky today.

That's what happens to people who put too much hope in gambling. When everything doesn't go the way he wants and makes him experience defeat, that's where he won't be able to see it. And your friend has experienced the consequences and was sick for 3 days.

He must realize that when he can win from gambling, he must immediately leave the casino with his winnings. He doesn't need to gamble anymore because he has managed to win a lot of money, especially if he only uses $1 and can win $2500.

That was a valuable lesson for him. Hopefully, he realizes his mistake and doesn't repeat it. Gambling is fine, but he must remember that he cannot always win easily and if he has won, it is better to immediately withdraw the winnings and leave from there.

This is typical human behavior and not mental issues....

When they have won big but the desire for more is even more peaked.

People are greedy by nature.... they want to win big and when they do, they want this to continue... and it seldom happens. A lot of people get gambler regret, where you bet a small amount and you win something big, but you still regret not betting a higher amount... thinking that the win would have been so much bigger. 

Human nature is always greedy,,, they want to win even more even though it is more than enough, the name is also gambling, the heat and emotionality increase so of course he will play multiply but after losing obviously it will be a regret.

People should not take gambling too serious..... just have fun and see it as entertainment. 

Ahh there are still many people who take gambling seriously,,, when they lose they reflect that wise people should know that gambling is for fun.
