A gambler takes his own life after a loss.

[Kelvinid]

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

If we value our lives more than anything in this world, we can't think like that. Only a person who has a mental problem will have the courage to take their life.

Sadly, we just found out that gambling contributes to some mental health issues where some gamblers can't take depression and stress make their mind out of control. Perhaps, this is not the first time I have heard this news, it happens many times. That is why I just hope that all of us can control our emotions and practice being responsible gambler who knows what is good for us.

Poor Soul, it is very sad to hear that because of gambling, he decided to take his own life.


Maybe that's why he committed suicide because maybe all the pressure, fear and the struggle of handling how he was going to pay all his debts came together. Honeslty in my preference when you are addicted to gambling, you will do everything you can to bet on the game. As I observed most of those who play and gamble are in debt, so maybe he thought of committing suicide because he was no longer in the right frame of mind and taking his life was the only way to solve his problems.


If I were in his shoes maybe I would also experience how difficult he went through, I mean mentally and physically exhausted is not that easy. There is also a possibility that you will encounter a fight because we will interact with different people when it comes to gambling, of course.


“We should remember that no amount of money lost is worth sacrificing one’s life.” I forgot where I read this quote but it helps me to remember that life is more valuable so treasure it.

[Gozie51]

I read his letter on Facebook and comments from the Facebook group, many have felt he only cut his life short by himself and not fulfilling what he was suppose to. That is the fact, he killed himself for less than $4,000. I don't even think there is any amount of money worthy for someone to take their life. So it is appalling to hear such bizarre action from a young man.

Therefore, it is always a lesson for other gamblers that if you want to take huge risk then you have to understand the risk involve in it, so that you don't end up like the dead young man that has caused his family more sorrow. Play as you can bear the loss, don't over bet, be reasonable with your bankroll.

Well I think to commit suicide is a very strong decision that only few people can do. I think it is more of phycological than physical action.

[Peanutswar]

Having this large amount takes too much seriously, The reason why the first thing is you don't need to gamble all the money you can't afford to lose. Gambling is not just a work that there's an assurance after a couple of games you can gain money no it does not work the same thing like that, Condolences to the family it was a really hard time for him for sure still there's still a possible solution if he didn't commit that life time mistake.

[hyudien]

Hopefully this incident will not happen to all of us who have taken up gambling, therefore always think that what is at stake is not our only way to achieve success. I also hope that this incident can be used as a lesson and warning to continue trying to control myself as much as possible. Suicide is the most terrible way maybe the person feels frustrated because the money he bet is his last money. Remember money can be found again and life cannot. Don't think it's all over. And for anyone please make this a serious reminder gamble with a healthy mind not with expectations as a way to get rich quickly.

[Jody.Drummer]

That is why we should not come up with goals that are not recommended in gambling such as getting involved to earn, lately I see very many people who see gambling as a place to earn, I don't know what is the reason but what is certain is that they come because they are encouraged and motivated from people who managed to get a big win without them knowing how much the person has spent before managing to get such a win.

Wrong thinking and misunderstanding makes you always overreact because you are tempted by something that looks like tempting, and after that without realizing that you have entered the addiction phase where you always put greed when you win and curiosity when you lose. I think this is a really dangerous addiction cycle, there is no set time limit as long as you still carry that mindset, but what is certain is that you will continue to suffer tremendous pressure from the losses you always experience, emotions and depression are certain and I think some of these things make people desperate to commit suicide like the case described by the OP.

[Justbillywitt]

This is so sad and may his soul rest in peace. This guy acted so selfishly without considering how his family members will feel. It's possible he borrowed the money to place the bet possibly he has been assured that the be is a sure game. I wonder how many lives are lost out there on daily basis that are not reported due to gambling. Gambling is for the strong and not for children. It's obvious that the guy is not matured enough. There is no amount lost in betting that will make me take my life.

Whether we do like it or not on which there would really be those type of people whose really that too sensitive when it comes to things on which they would really be that too mindful on the money that they had lost in gambling. This is why it would really be good that you should really having that good self control specially with your emotions because if you dont then you would really be ending up on thinking things on which it might lead up into that suicide ideas. People do really usually be making this kind of thing to be their last option as if that problems would really be going away without even
thinking about on how precious life is. Although it is really that hard considering that we arent in his shoes because having those huge losses in those amounts arent something that
someone could pay in a short time.

[ethereumhunter]

Another sad news about a person who committed suicide because he lost at gambling. This seems to have become a serious problem in society, especially for those who often gamble, even with large amounts of money. And this is a lesson for us not to take too big a risk if we can't afford it. I don't know what was going on in his mind until he ended his life by committing suicide.

I don't want to commit suicide just because of gambling. That's why I try to gamble with the money I can afford. Losing $20-$30 in gambling is already a big loss of money and it makes me sad, especially if I lose a lot of money like that person.

[Synchronice]

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

I was coward to kill myself. No amount of money that I lost that will make me kill myself. If there is life there is hope.

This kind of problem starts from depression and hopelessness. He might thought there is no way out anymore. But this is wrong. He might be richer than what he thought he would have become if he has not killed himself.

It is painful to hear this kind of story.

When I was addicted to gambling, I lost huge amount of money and I was depressed and thought there is no future for me. But I saw more opportunities that I was not expecting after I thought all has ended.

It's funny you are promoting casino in your signature
It's very sad that he killed himself because he lost money. Probably 3K is nothing for many but that's a huge amount of money for people from poor countries. I suggest everyone to gamble for fun, not for profit because the whole point of gambling is to get fun. Someone gets fun from playing video games, someone gets fun from rolling dice, someone gets fun from watching netflix, we all have different ways to get fun. It's sad but there are people who commit suicide for many reasons, some do it even because they aren't as cool as hollywood actors and so on. Some even do it because they don't get enough attention from their BFs/GFs.

[EluguHcman]

Gambling is never suit for the weak of minds who can not accept loosing and take control of their gambling emotions.
Desperacy and eagerness to win in gambling is called for bankruptcies which lingers to wretchedness and frustrations.
Why would anyone happily start what you can't happily end or happier than started?
It is so unfortunate where people can not realize when they reaches their limits before things gets are gone out of control.
He lost about $3K and $1K + is a borrowed money and he decided to take his life because he considered it is unbearable to stand a debtor that he can not afford to pay.
I am just thinking of he hoped to pay back the money with his gambling winning expectations or whichever ways.

I disagree that it was due to joblessness that got him taking such risk in gambling with such amount of funds because about $2K in exchange to his local fiat currency is not a penny. It is such an attractive huge amount of money that can be utilized which can be invested on some lucrative businesses but he failed to take figures of acknowledgement on that.
How does he think the money borrowed would yield him profits in his gambling space more than the one he has with him is also what I don't get right.

I take the whole of the scenero assuming that he is an addicted gambler which is tantamount to such demise actions.
Moreso, taking his life off was never an option because he seems to be a media influencer and a promising young man who in time can still pay off the debt as long there is life and his abilities to keep grinding to reach out to his dreams

Whoever that have the intentions of taking his/her life in one way or the other should always consider their loved ones. Everyone on earth has responsibilities to take care of and there are willing ones who are also atleast a minimal level to also cares for you.

At this point I don't think his exit would cause a bridge for payment of the money borrowed. Definitely the lender would console with the family in the main time and sooner going to demand for his money.

Suicide is never an option

How is it funny that I put on a gambling campaign signature?

Supposing I have known this forum before my addiction, I might not be able to get addicted to gambleing after several warnings in people's discussions. If you like it or nity, people will gamble without this forum advertising any gambling site. Likely the decreased person may not know this forum but gambling agents are all over everywhere. Heay even lost to a local gambling site. The country is Nigeria.

[rhomelmabini]

But I wonder why should someone take his own life  just because he lost  #2.5 million to gambling an amount  equivalent to just about $3k. I can relate to his loss but taking your life is something unimaginable and unjustifiable to do. No matter the regrets suicide isn't an option to be taking as a solution , you are only leaving bigger pains  behind for your loved ones.

Probably he can't take the loss and probably his thought/mind wasn't that strong, that money is replaceable but not his own life. Maybe he experience depression in that state and gambling was his way to divert it but it would take a huge toll instead because of that loss. Condolences to the bereaved family.

[Nerdy doctor]

When I was at my lowest point, It was so difficult and hopeless that I must confess, suicidal thoughts crossed my mind. But I’m not one to end my life to try and end my problems.
It’s sad to read about news like this cause the person involved should have known better as this probably isn’t his first time in the gambling industry. Perhaps he used borrowed money or money meant for something else and now that he has lost out, he couldn’t bear to take the loss.

There’s no amount that I could lose that would make me take my life. There’s still a lot to do.

If we value our lives more than anything in this world, we can't think like that. Only a person who has a mental problem will have the courage to take their life.

Sadly, we just found out that gambling contributes to some mental health issues where some gamblers can't take depression and stress make their mind out of control. Perhaps, this is not the first time I have heard this news, it happens many times.

If our minds were still healthy, maybe we would think this was a stupid act and whatever. but maybe for him this was the best way he could do to ease his suffering because his common sense had run out in a situation like that, especially since he was gambling with borrowed money. In my country there are also many cases of suicide due to gambling and on average they gamble because they use borrowed money and there are also those who sell so that when they lose they get depressed and lose their memory. So what was in his mind was that he thought suicide was the best way. That's why there is a saying that gambling is a terrible addiction.

That is why I just hope that all of us can control our emotions and practice being responsible gambler who knows what is good for us.

This could all happen because their mindset was wrong from the start, most of them saw this as a quick step to getting rich. even though this game should be a place to have fun when you are tired of work. Gambling can be wrong if played by short-minded people.

On the time that your brain or mind have this kind of status;

1. Dont know on how to solve out the problem
   - Dont know on how to repay that amount lost
   - Dont know on how to explain it into your family
   - Dont know on thinking up ways and possible solutions

2. Your stress and fear is already mixing up
3. You have lost your control and emotion handling

Once you are on this kind of situation on which you would really be saying that it cant really be avoided sometimes on thinking up on having a suicide.
Having mental break down or having those deepest problem and stress that you have never encountered before into your own life on which it really do makes you think
that you would be taking up some suicide to solve out everything but its true on what most people been saying on here is that, if you do really just
try out to find up some ways to solve out the problem then there might be a chance. Life is indeed precious and taking up a suicide is never been a solution.

[Jawhead999]

How can a businessman want to commit suicide? become a businessman need a strong mentality and able to accept anything unpredictable that could happen, gambling on the other hand is predictable, the result is either lose or win.

I guess gambling isn't the only reason why he want to commit suicide, but gambling is just make him feel really sad.

These are the point. To there are people who to take their life never by themselves never seem anything to them. They are psychos. They don't place value on the air they breath and that is also can easily they can kill another person. But if you value life, the thought of killing or shielding of blood irritates.

It is an immoral act. No matter how much was involved, a lifeless body has no hope but a man that is alive has hope to even repay all his debt despite challenges of life because he can meet a destiny helper that will be interested in his story but now that he is gone, nobody will hear his story and help him, what will be in the public as it is now is that he took his life.

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

This isn't is more than just valuing your life more than any other thing, there are people who value their life even more than you do but depression has a way of making them feel like life is worthless and not worth living no more. Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like the only thing you live for has been taken away from you, your only purpose of living washed away like an erosion washes away the top soil, pray you don't ever find yourself in such a situation because when you do, you'll realize that suicide isn't just about not having value in your life or due to mental ailments. Who knows what the young man must have been through that made him turn to  gambling as his final option and maybe after being disappointed which is normal, couldn't take it anymore and decided to end it all.

We can't say anything accurate regarding on what they are facing since depression is really a serious problem so if we see someone facing this kind of condition then I guess the only thing we can do is to make them feel that we are here for them and we are willing to listen on their problems.

That's why we should never ignore this addiction especially on gambling since this is life threatening especially if the affected person lose everything they have and this attempts will come in their minds since as said they might feel worthless individual with that status. Also we must know the consequences about gambling addiction and may his story serve as a lesson for other that they should never let theirselves caught to much on gambling since same possible situation might really happen.
