A gambler takes his own life after a loss.

[letteredhub]

Apparently this is a true live event happened in my State this week and almost everyone is talking about it. About a young man that killed himself after a gamble loss, he even left a message for his family and friends before taking his life.  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.


This is just another reminder to we all gamblers that no bet is sure and guaranteed, don't ever use an amount of money you are not comfortable to lose just because you feel convicted in your mind that the game will play as predicted. There's no such thing as sure bet in gambling.

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

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

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.

We have the same mantra here, there's hope as long as we are alive.
That's what I keep to myself when everything seems wrong around me.
Though we can't blame some people to take it on their own hand about their fate.
That is true, for sure, he felt, there's no way out anymore on his situation.
We don't know what's going on with his mind but for him, that's his ultimate solution.

This is another example of a gambler who decided that they can make gambling their source of income, or those that want think they can get a game that is 100% sure and because of that deposit their life’s savings into their gambling account.

It’s indeed a sad story, I’m pretty sure that he could have been done better things that would have helped him make more than that amount that made him commit suicide.

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

This is the same as asking someone “what amount will they sell their life for?” No amount should be worth one committing suicide even if it’s not related to gambling, we have seen billionaires turn into poor overnight and yet they are still alive trying to survive with the few things that they have. That’s just to say how priceless one’s life is.

I read about this new earlier today,  and I wanted to see more fact about the nature and amount he lost, until I read this thread that I got the details of what really happen to this young man,  and the only thing I can say about this incident is that,  there is more to the story than what we read,  may be the guy have being battling depression for a while now,  which is why he can go on that kind of insane betting  pattern and huge stake.

So before we blame it all on gambling,  let us also first of all consider the other factors that could have lead him into gambling and from the look of things,  it seems that the guy have issues with gambling addictions for him to have staked such an amount that he can't afford to lose,  but even at that,  the situation is not up to what should have lead him to take his own life for whatever reasons.

[Churchillvv]

It's just sad to hear such an event.
This are the kind of people are the guys who have left the mark of bad impression on gambling.. I hated the word gamble so much because I have heard a lot of case of this nature made me say I won't ever go close to any thing gamble.

No Matter what you loss you stand a chance to get 10x of it if you're still alive I lost an amount I can't afford to lose before though not in gambling but I felt depressed to some extent and one day I thought of otherwise but remember i have some many things i have not enjoyed. Like wtf would I commit suicide now i have over 100x of what I lost back then.

Jess.. this niggi just f**Ked up !

This is the worst-case scenario that can happen to a person engaged in gambling.  I think the person lost all his finances and at the same time the money is allocated to somewhere important.  To not experience the possible bad outcome of his action, the person committed suicide leaving those he left behind in much grief and financial destruction.

The guy is a coward and selfish.  I feel sorry for those relatives he left since these people will bear the burden this guy had done.  This instance should teach us that too much gambling can lead to mental pressure that can lead to death.  Only gamble what we can afford to lose. Gambling is fun as long as we are in control so better engage gambling with moderation and learn how to be a responsible gambler.

If this is how it is, he supposed to think about the consequences if he lost the money. That is how some people are. People need to think not about the profit only but also if it would be loss. People should just not see gambling as a way to make money, it is a way to ruin oneself life if using it for money making. Gambling can not be used to make money. It takes than give.

We have read and heard of stories like this and this may not be the last. People need to think of what will happen to them if they lose the money they want to spend on gambling before they gamble with the money at all.

Taking your own life is just a stupid solution to think about, you have loved ones and family you can share how and what you are going through with, some might even offer to assist you get back on your fit seeing how remorse you are about your gambling actions. People have lost money much more than this and they maned up and face life along the way things changed for a better for them. Why lose money and also lose your life. The painful aspect about suicide is that it's the family of the person that bears the disgruntled pains you gonna leave behind for them. Losing money is never the end of life.

[Darker45]

I don't think there will be an amount that would make me commit suicide, not just in gambling but also in other financial matters like investment, or if somebody didn't pay me for a big amount borrowed, and so on. As a matter of fact, I see no reason why a person should commit suicide.

Anyway, this is one of the craziest reasons to take your own life. First, he should have known that this is gambling. He could win but he could also lose. Second, that's not even a very huge amount. Third, if he earned that amount before, he can earn it again, so why kill oneself?

[uneng]

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.

I'm sure his life worthed much more than 3000$. Actually, life has no price. It's not possible to put any material price on life, because it transcends the material. It's so valuable that we don't even have words to say how valuable it is. For that reason, it's really sad to see people getting desperate and taking extreme measures like that. I understand he couldn't support the feeling of having lost the money, and he just wished to cease that aversive emotion, so he shutted off his own life in order to do so. Suicide is the most extreme measure to escape from an aversive situation.

Now that his soul may rest in peace, and that his story can be useful for people in your region to promote mental health discussions among the youngsters and to teach them how to deal with emotions in a healthy and rational way, so stories like this don't repeat in the future. Lost money can be recovered, and that is not really the biggest of the problems. There will be always an opportunity ahead to make more money, but life is precious and unique, so let's preserve and maintain it in first place.

Gambling is a dangerous thing if got addicted to. Gambling is always associated with mental breakdown, suicide and homicide.
People addicted to gambling keeps on increasing their bet amount and risk when they start loosing and don't even stop when they are finally winning.
When they bet everything they have, they takes the family possession, takes loans, destroys them and their family which is a recipe for suicide and homicides.
People should learn to be responsible before leaning into high stakes gambling.

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

Well, first of all, condolences to the family. The answer is no. There is no certain amount or specific amount wherein a person will kill themselves or commit suicide just because they lose such money in gambling; it will depend on the emotional state of the person. I think this guy in the article cannot take such losses. Maybe because the money he used is important or has something to spend on, but sadly he loses it in gambling, or really, this person is emotionally and mentally weak. I don't discriminate against the guy; I'm just saying that maybe he has weak emotions and mentality, and that's why he can't take the loss and result in suicide, which only weak emotions and mentality can do.

Anyway, this should serve as a lesson to everyone: those who know for themselves that they can't take the pain or impact of losing such money should never ever think of playing gambling. If the money is very important to you, then don't enter this field because gambling is all about the risk of losing money.

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

I do not any amount of money that would make me do this and if such amount of money exist i can not put it on a gamble, is just as saying you are gambling with your own life in the line doing such. Most people believe in the god of luck and they will continue to lost their bet because even in a carefully analyse game there is still chance of lost but we can not solely depend on luck i guess that why it would be advisable not bet more than with your free money which is the money you can lost

[len01]

there have been threads like this before, such as a minor gambling using his friend money, then losing and committing suicide, and also a business company owner in my country gambling on slots, losing a lot of money and finally committing suicide, and there are still several similar stories that I dont remember.

these are all bad conditions for a person's mental state, even though we think why should we commit suicide when the loss does not exceed $1m and there are still many solutions to be able to restore it, but unfortunately the mental condition experienced by each person is different and usually those who commit suicide after losing a lot they have mental a weak person and a mind that is influenced by high levels of depression so that the person has excessive fear and chooses to end his life and in incidents like this, the most important thing to pay attention to is do not use any money for gambling except the remaining money from daily needs.

If the question was addressed to me, certainly money would not make me do the bad thing of ending my life by committing suicide. money can still be earned but life cannot be paid for with money and every problem there is always a solution so anyone who bets loses a lot of money, try to think critically if all problems will have a solution and dont do bad things that will harm the family that loves us.

In fact, nothing justifies a person taking this attitude, but what we need to think about are not the reasons that led them to commit suicide, but rather the mental state in which that person was.

Losing a lot of money often means that the person has ruined their life and that of their family forever, either because they created a debt that they will never be able to pay again or because they gave a valuable and indispensable asset as "guarantee". Unfortunately, some people cannot deal with the consequences they have caused and for them the easiest thing is to "cease to exist".
Some cannot find the courage to take their own lives, and so they choose the world of abandonment, begging, and running away from their family.

In any case, we can't judge people like this, the most we can do is sympathize with them and whenever we notice something similar in a relative or friend, offer help.

[Hirose UK]

This is the umpteenth time that people who have made mistakes in gambling have definitely done stupid things like that.
Previously, there was child who was still at school and also the head of family who could not resolve the problem of debt caused by gambling.
But what really makes it shame is why their last choice is to commit suicide when all the problems that occur will definitely have the best solution even though it means going through many difficult things.
I sure that previously people who did this did not want to tell anyone, including their family that they had experienced something difficult, whereas if they were willing to share their story there would be a better solution.

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

Of course there is, maybe he used money that was intended to be used for important things so he couldn't accept the defeat.
It could also be that he used more than half of his savings so that when he lost he felt mental pressure which made him depressed and made the decision to commit suicide.

[Questat]

That is so sad but can't blame that to gambling but his addiction.

However, ending our life because we made mistakes losing a lot of money is still a wrong decision. It's not ours to end it, God gave that to us so he's the only one allowed to take it. Man, this is a sad story, so we have to learn from this and that is by being responsible in gambling.

How to be responsible in gambling? (you can search more on google if you want to know, but I have few list I could share).

1-start with funds in gambling what you can afford only
2-Don't be greedy
3- have fun and always be realistic about winning and losing, none of us lose or win everyday, so it's normal to lose or win.

[mamesso]

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

I don't want to be a coward, whatever happens I will face every problem because every problem has a solution. Suicide is not a good way out, as long as I am still alive, there will be hope to get out of the pressure and live a better life in the future. Depression can make a person short-minded, especially since he often closes himself off by keeping his problems a secret from other people.
Everyone has family, friends and other closest relatives to share every problem with, they will try to help solve the problem by finding solutions so that the problem is resolved. He has chosen his own path, this story is the most valuable experience for other gamblers to be more careful if they are not able to withstand the pressure after losing a bet.

[Richbased]

I don't think there will be an amount that would make me commit suicide, not just in gambling but also in other financial matters like investment, or if somebody didn't pay me for a big amount borrowed, and so on. As a matter of fact, I see no reason why a person should commit suicide.

Like I don't even understand why someone will take their life just because they lost a bet, this is the more reasons why I tell people to gamble as they can be able to endure and that gambling is a game of chance as anyone that wants to get involved in gambling should have it at the back of their mind that they may either win or lose so that should In case they lose it won't make them to run into depression. Just look at how a promising young man just ended his life just because of careless gambling now people will start pointing their fingers on gambling that it's bad when it is the individual that got involved in gambling and didn't take precautions.
