Drug (cocaine) addicts compromises gambling potentials

[Poker Player]

What a combination, cocaine, which is not exactly cheap as electronicash says, and gambling. A straight road to ruin.

Since we're talking about a drug addict who, at some point, didn't have enough money to buy his drugs and had to turn to gambling to make ends meet, assuming this person didn't gamble, there's a good chance he'd have turned to something more unethical to fund his drugs.  We shouldn’t forget that drug addiction is one of the major causes of crime in the society.

In the end he was left with nothing, no gambling, no business and no drugs. Probably now he will do other more unethical things to get money and continue with his vices. These stories usually end fatally, with the protagonist in jail and dying young.

This has also called on the aifs of a political and a social influencer calling to the attentions of the president of Nigeria to bring an end and cut off the accessibilities access to online sport betting in the country in other to main a better orderliness in the society because the states of miles Nigerians undergoes is being mentally worrisome which has also made a caused of depreciations of our fiat currency Naira(#). He further stated that if betting platforms could be moderated, then the lost of the currency values would regain and boosten back it's values.

You have made your post too long and boring to go through.

However, how will this fly? Is banning of online gambling the solution? No. Is anyone forced into gambling or drug, No. You can be influenced into it but as an adult you should know what you want. Apart from gambling online, gamblers also spend lavishly on offline gambling, they lose hugely and so, it is irrelevant where you lose whether offline or online there is no need painting online gambling black for the fault of inept gambler who is seeking to take care of his financial challenges and obligations or what have you with gambling.

We know you can't gamble more than what you set your mind for because if you do that there is chances you will sell off your belongings chasing back your loses and that is what has happened to the drug addict.

[traderethereum]

The one to blame is the drug addict because he is already addicted to drugs and he is addicted to gambling, which makes him have two gambling addictions. He must realize that his condition is worsening and immediately heal himself. But he won't be able to realize this because he has two addictions.
I'm not an economist, so I don't know about it. But perhaps regulating online betting in app stores could be done to reduce the number of people addicted to gambling. But this is difficult to do because it requires education for people or the wider community so that they can understand that gambling can have bad consequences.
It is not the fault of gambling but the fault of the people who have used gambling beyond their limits. People consider gambling as a way to make money and they use a lot of money to be able to make money. That is the biggest mistake because gambling is not designed to provide income to anyone, even though gambling can provide winnings to lucky people.

Well, I will answer all of these questions in general because I feel like they have the same idea.

The problem belongs to people's perception of the subject (the field of gambling) and it always comes with different views from people themselves. If I blame a certain area, I just give an example of how many people blame food as the cause of obesity , like not liking to admit their own mistakes and just seeing the society around us causes us problems.

I see that the love of thinking in society is something that everyone needs to be trained through the process, and all the nuances exposed before our eyes are like lessons and reminders of the knowledge we have contact. With gambling I always keep a relaxed attitude because I am the one who makes the choices about it, and rather about the responsibility when playing these things, so any other story is one of the lessons we are exposed to.

They say drugs like cocaine affect your decision making, so I could see why it would be a bad idea to rail a bunch of lines and start gambling with your life savings. That being said, if you’re on a winning streak and haven’t slept in over a day, I can’t think of a better way to stay alert at the table. (Joking, don’t do drugs kids)

[ryzaadit]

Let's be honest, especially (drugs)

Even without drugs using some medicine while the purpose is for medical and bring the good things, some people just can used these to get high. IMO, all depends on the individual (drug) cannot really be blame.

If you search on internet, some drug can be used as medical purpose however due the restricted people cannot used it and guess what ? the person die. Gambling it's fo ethertaimen only while you can afford to lose, like you buy beer with your money. You can use the money you are gonna to use for beer for gambling.

* Is gambling really to be blamed in ruining lifes?

* In no way can we blame gambling and consider the gambler a victim of it. This is a fallacy that people should realize is wrong.
I will give you an example to understand the extent of the fallacy. When I give you a car and you drive badly and have a serious accident, do we blame the car or its driver for the accident?

* Honestly, I re-read the question several times and could not understand what you wanted to ask about. I'm sorry to tell you that your English is very bad. Please try to rephrase it.

* It can be said that gambling is the reason for ruining the lives of many people, but it cannot be held responsible absolutely. The idea is that no one wakes up one day to find himself addicted to gambling or that gambling is a disease that affects individuals. Every person is responsible for his choices, and therefore falling victim to addiction is the result of a self-decision. This is another example to understand. When someone kills someone using a gun, do we blame the gun and say that it caused the crime?

* Is gambling really to be blamed in ruining lifes?
Even though the online casino gambling as influences on the massive audience, I don't think it has been in any strategic or physically enforced a compulsory venture to anyone that he must gamble.
I don't see gambling walking to the players instead the players walks to the gambles so, directly and indirectly gambling has an influence but has not path to be blamed over individuals irrepressible living on their caused of gambling.

Anyone who blames gambling for ruining their live must be very irresponsible.

Gambling is neutral. Naturally, anyone who doesn't follow the classic gambling rules is bond to ruin their own lives. Here is an example of small habits of irresponsible gamblers that builds up to massive addiction that eventually ruins their lives and career.

- You spend more than 3 hours every day gambling.
- You use 90% of your income for gambling and the 10% other things.
- When you lose, you bet a bigger amount because you think you will win them again.
- you are loaning money, telling lies, stealing just to fund your gambling habits.

I know the above may look a bit exaggerated but it is what happens. The inability of the gambler develop self control leads to self-destruction equal ruining their lives.

Because to me, he has been a drug addict before began to gamble and he strictly gambled consciencelessly just to make profit and buy himself this assorted unhealthy pills (drugs). So, I don't see anyway of gambling being responsible for his irresponsible reputations with his mentality of what triggered him to gambling and his inabilities to control his gambling.

Nope- gambling is not to be entirely blamed on this but it further enhanced his prior drug addiction.

I agree with what you said- he was already an addict to begin with. Let us take away gambling for a second: most likely he would find another venture (not gambling) in order to continue sustaining that kind of lifestyle. It just so happened that gambling was his game of choice in furtherance of this first addiction, which was drug abuse.

* Was the political social influencer right to say getting to an end of online sport bets in the app stores and the moderating of gambling would regain back the devalued currency and attracts a growing economy back to the nation a right acceptable and good research?

It may affect but removing online sport bets in app stores will not have that kind of massive effect.

There are many factors that contribute to the devaluing a currency of a certain country. In contrary to his statement as well, gambling generates tons of revenue in a certain country if they are regulate by the government properly.

Take Philippines as an example, the revenue generated by their gambling establishments is the number one (1) responsible for the most generated money annually. This speaks on how gambling can definitely have a positive effect on the economy if properly established and regulated.

* Is gambling really to be blamed in ruining lifes?

Gambling contributes on why people ruined their lives. In a way, gambling clouds one's judgement and rationality to the point that they only seek the satisfaction of winning. In order to profit also, they would have to continuously bet.

While the approach of a person mainly contributes on how he/she gets to be successful, gambling somehow clouds this and necessarily affects the judgement of people. So in a way, gambling does ruin the lives of people who DO NOT KNOW how to control their urges.

[Pmalek]

Just what a drug addict needs, one more thing to get addicted to and help in making life-destroying decisions.
I might sound harsh, but he only has himself to blame for his problems. No one forced drugs up his mouth, nose, or arms. He bought and used it. No one forced him to gamble away his money on gunpoint, it was his decision. Now, it's him who is paying the price and being forced to face the consequences. 

He could have had a nice life, running a profitable business. He could have used the profits to lead a healthy life, buy quality food, better himself both mentally and physically, and travel the world, but he chose a different path.

As much as I know, individual indulgences has no stake of influences to affect the national economy at where the government folds its hands of governance While counting national welfareness reliably of the vulnerable individuals. Although, getting to an end of online sport bets from the app stores would contribute to manage the number of psychological gambling addictive effects in the country.

There are many things created by humans which were meant to be used for a specific purpose but later people used it for something else.
Gambling was created to be enjoyed as a fun activity and for leisure but people started using it as a way to earn money.
That is where most people make the mistake and cannot control themselves from over gambling.
Gambling cannot be blamed for this because its the people who are doing it wrongly.

[Sim_card]

I will blame the gambler for his doom because he decided to abandon his laundry shop that has being assisting him to take care of his drug expenses and decided to see gambling as the best alternative to get rich quick to use on his drug expenses. Laziness and greed took over him and he messed up his life with gambling. He was OK when he was doing drugs with his small business but he frustrated himself when he jumped into gambling. This is the same way that anyone who is not into drugs will also end up if he thinks that gambling is a means to make profit because that person will end up an addict and he will keep on chasing his loss to his doom. On what Omokri said, he is only beating around the bush, this is because Nigeria is a consuming country and don't produce any of those commodity in the country, but import most of them. This is what led to the poor economy state and not gambling. Let the government think of producing more than consuming and the economy will improve. It is bad to have people with low mentality in the government because they wouldn't be able to figure out the problem that the country is facing and it's solution.

Gambling is something different entirely from drugs addiction irrespective of the kind of drugs, some people engage on drugs just to be able to earn from it while some to use it for their personal desires, gambling cannot be able to afford the cost for drugs Incase of the addicted gambler, most that are into drugs get money from it to use for gambling and not depending on gambling winnings to be able to afford buying those drugs because most of them are expensive.

* Is gambling really to be blamed in ruining lifes?

No, we should blame self for being an addicted gambler or a drug addict, there are many attrocities in life and for the fact that they are all present around us doesn't mean that we must have to partake in them, they will do us nothing than harm.

[moneystery]

when i read the first paragraph of your story, i didn't even need to read the whole story and immediately knew who was at fault here. the one who is to blame here is that he is so stupid that he can become addicted to gambling and drugs. gambling and drugs are not to be blamed, because if he is smart he should understand that drug addiction alone can make people worse, especially if it is combined with gambling addiction.

hopefully he doesn't commit a crime because usually people who have become addicted to drugs and gambling like that will usually commit crimes when they no longer have money to feed their addiction.

The character you described has two major problems. Drug addiction and using gambling to fund it. I blame him one hundred percent for assuming that he can fund his drug addiction with an unpredictable source of income. Depending on gambling as an alternative source of income is risky but depending on it as a main source of income will naturally lead to disaster. He needs to go to rehab to cure his drug addiction and learn how to gamble responsibly.

* Was the political social influencer right to say getting to an end of online sport bets in the app stores and the moderating of gambling would regain back the devalued currency and attracts a growing economy back to the nation a right acceptable and good research?

I doubt if that is what this influencer said because it doesn't make any sense. Regulating gambling and making strict laws discourage gambling firms from Investing in the country. This will cause a reduction in tax revenue and lead to unemployment. Gambling firms pay high taxes and licence fees which is a major source of revenue for the government. Casinos and bet houses also create employment opportunities for the labor force of the country. So gambling platforms will even contribute to the growth of the economy.

* Is gambling really to be blamed in ruining lifes?

Gambling is not to blame for the problems people have the challenge is irresponsible gambling. I know that we have more responsible gamblers than addicts.

[rachael9385]

Gambling is not to blame but people who gamble excessively and want to use gambling as a source of income are to blame. There should be new regulations stating that those who gamble excessively will receive severe punishment so that those who gamble excessively can understand this and try hard to reduce their gambling activities. The government must provide education to its citizens and strictly prohibit those who want to use gambling as a source of income. But it seems that this is not easy to do because there are already many people who consider gambling as a source of income and these are the ones who need to be trained and made aware of it first, including those written by @OP. Gambling is the same as other activities, but the difference is that gambling uses money to get fun and entertainment. At the same time, other activities may also use money but perhaps not as much as gambling.

On a norms, gambling is gambling but the important part of it is that no gambler should ever use or see gambling as a means of making money because they will end up losing losing losing and losing their money.
Although, sometimes some gamblers likely win some good amount of money and sometimes we also lose money too, so when a gambler who's gambling for profit start losing his or her money in gambling they will try to look fir away that they will win back the money that they have lost while gambling.

[Lorence.xD]

Nah, in the first place, the man is already addicted in drugs before engaging in gambling, the fact that he is addicted he would definitely do anything just to have his hands on that cocaine. He saw an opportunity in gambling to have a quick cash grab as he experienced winning but luck wouldn't be always on your side, that reason enough gambling as a source of money isn't recommendable since it's not consistent and stable.

Just imagine you put more logs into the fire what would might happen? When one addiction uses another addiction to sustain the other needs, it wouldn't be balanced as the other one you haven't sustain already catched up. It will literally ruin someone's life just like the OP stated, the man has a stable income from his laundry shop, now that his addiction to gambling also increased, it reached to the point where he would sell his properties just to have enough money for gambling. Well, if he might win for sure it would go straight into the drugs not to reinvest it to his business.

I don't believe gambling should be blamed for ruining someone's life. It's an activity individuals choose to engage in, and it doesn't force anyone to play. Some people, however, take it to the extreme and end up harming themselves. Casinos and gambling centers are just running their businesses, and if you choose not to play, they won't force you. The person you mentioned using gambling funds for addictive drugs is responsible for his choices. Gambling should be done by individuals who can responsibly manage it, setting limits for themselves.

[madnessteat]

~snip~

In my opinion it makes no difference what exactly ruined this guy - drugs or gambling (or all at once). It is important to realize that if a person takes heavy drugs, when he is sober he is aware of what he is doing and understands that most likely his life will get worse every day. He has made his own choice to continue to slowly but surely kill himself. He has only himself to blame for losing everything he had, not gambling or cocaine.

[Findingnemo]

The individual is highly irresponsible and he is the only one who should be blamed for whatever he ended up or will be.

Gambling is no way near to consider it as a way of increasing the revenue source which is simple knowledge that anyone may know but some think that they can beat the system and make the life better by doing nothing but it happen only for one in a thousand or even higher and the remaining people will be on the other side.
