Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss

[Questat]

The most dangerous thing is that you are obsessed with winning and when you chase it you end up spending a lot of money. We can't blame it because everyone's emotional level is different and if a gambler finds it difficult to suppress it then he will only lose more money. There is a need to anticipate this with the right allocation of funds and I agree with you. There is no need to rush when gambling and if it gets too deep it will be difficult to change.

When a person is addicted to winning while gambling, he will not even realize when he will lose all his money because of addiction to winning. Can never be loaded while gambling. Greed will increase the chances of losing money from gambling.  When gambling in new situations they often risk all their money due to over greediness. Do not over greedy while gambling.

I think there's no such thing as over greedy, greediness alone is already a bad thing being a gambler. You'll never be satisfied with your winning so you'll continue to gamble to the point that it's not healthy anymore. And since gamblers losses in the long run, the same outcome will be experience by the gamblers who does not know when to stop.

As a responsbile gambler (not greedy), we should have the discipline to accept our losses, stop when we lose our budget and come back tomorrw or the other time. The point here is we spend what we can afford only, if we are out of budget then rest.

Addiction to gambling hurts other people. It affects health, work, and relationships. Kids and people who count on them see bad behavior, which could make gambling seem normal. The addict's lack of focus and work can cost them their job and make the company less productive. A lot of addicts also have sadness and high blood pressure. It's possible that their siblings also have mental health problems and social stigmas. Addiction can make people very angry and frustrated, which can hurt their relationships with family and friends. These effects must be known to make people more aware of the dangers of game addiction and to encourage those who are or might become addicted to get help.

It has a lot of dire consequences, first and foremost, Financial ruins, this is the obvious effect to us, it leads to financial difficulties, including loans, debts that we can't pay and worst we loss our assets, like house or car. And then this subject has just been recently discussed here, mental health. Sooner of later with the effect of constant losses gamblers will have a breakdown, anxiety levels increases because of the financial strain that we are experiencing. And worst case is that someone will just go and die from heart attack because they can't take their losses and always thinking of it. For the relationships with his or her family, there is also a thread here about deception, not telling your other half that you are in gambling, can lead to break up and divorce and the only victim here will be their kids or children.

There is a need to anticipate this with the right allocation of funds and I agree with you. There is no need to rush when gambling and if it gets too deep it will be difficult to change.

You're right, being obsessed with winning and chasing your losses is too dangerous. If you are always like this, you will easily run out of money and you will quickly become addicted to gambling. You will not only have financial problems if you are addicted to gambling, there are many negative effects of gambling and we will suffer from it if we abuse it, so let's avoid getting to this point.

Chasing losses is the genesis of revenge gambling and revenge gambling precedes compulsive gambling. All the problems associated with gambling are caused by trying to recoup our losses which I know is not bad. There is a cold war between the gamblers and the bookies. Both parties want to gain. When you are winning, the bookies are not happy and when you are losing, you are not happy. Since we all want to win and make money, it becomes normal to try to win. After all, that is why we are gambling.

But then, whether we try to recoup our losses or not, we should always stick to a strategy that can help us regain the loss in the long run. We don`t have to fall for the thought of let me try again, maybe this time I will win. It is this mindset of recovering immediately that has ruined the life of many not only in terms of their finance but it has strained their relationship and led them to substance abuse problems, depression and even anxiety.

life is neglected, even our own family will sometimes hate and shun us due to gambling addiction, it is so painful that everything is destroyed because of gambling, we don't have a family, our finances are disrupted and even if we want to stop it will be difficult to do so.

Yes, it's true that gambling addiction makes us really become alone because we think too selfishly about ourselves, that's why gambling addicts are always left behind by their families because they don't really think about them when they are chasing and recovering their losses, so they easily ignore their families and time together. them, even though in fact family is more valuable than the money we use for gambling, that's why I lose more from losing precious time with my family than losing money.

If the money runs out, you can still find it, but the family cannot be rebuilt if it is destroyed and falling apart, that is why gambling addiction is not only financially detrimental but much worse than that, everyone must control themselves from gambling addiction because they cannot only with advice can addicts recover, everyone must return to themselves how to prevent gambling addiction from occurring, that is something that I worry about while gambling, that's why I always divide my time between family and gambling, I even gamble less than with my family

life is neglected, even our own family will sometimes hate and shun us due to gambling addiction, it is so painful that everything is destroyed because of gambling, we don't have a family, our finances are disrupted and even if we want to stop it will be difficult to do so.

That is the big risk impact when someone is addicted to gambling, it is not us alone who will suffer losses and bear all the suffering and problems but also those closest to us, namely our own family, who will also feel the impact. Indeed, gambling addiction is a very high-risk problem that can destroy a person's life at any time and make him very miserable. Not only that, other impacts will also affect the psychological and mental condition of an addict, sometimes people who are not strong enough to bear the risk of addiction can even experience extraordinary depression.
Therefore, it would be better for us to gamble and maintain good control so that we don't get addicted to gambling.

The harm addiction leaves in a family are not easily forgotten. However, the goal of every gambler is to focus and be responsible to his family. Money generated from the wins, comes and goes. But the unforgettable marks that addiction puts on the brain of everyone who got affected by it wouldn't disappear. Hence, it's crucial for gamblers to have in mind that chasing losses could be bad, because the money won't stay with them when they begin to battle over the trouble chasing of losses may have caused to their mental health, and that of their family who helped them out of addiction. It's also remarkable to add that the family of the gambler gets more pissed off if they find out that the person after being saved or rescued from gambling addiction, still finds his way back to the habit. Not minding whether he's changed to a responsible gambler, the thoughts alone weaken the strength of the family. They'll think that all their efforts where wasted.

If gamblers who still gamble frequently realize this, they will not experience gambling addiction and can still enjoy gambling as entertainment. They will not fall deeper into gambling because they know what impact it will have on them and their families and those closest to them. They will always try to prevent bad things from happening to them by always setting limits when gambling because they really don't want to become addicted to gambling. They may also have seen the true impact that has occurred on people who have experienced gambling addiction, where their lives have been ruined, and their families have also felt the impact. And they realize that gambling is actually just for fun and not to make money, so they will try to avoid gambling addiction because the impact that will be felt will also be greater than they imagine.

Gambling addiction has been known to be associated with serious funds loss, bankruptcy, unsettled loan involvements, properties auctioning and other irritable financial behaviors that depicts frustration and desperations from the victims.
A little more observation shows clearly other effects of such addiction to just not the addict alone, but those around them, be it friends, family or neighbors. Here are a few of them:

Negative impression on children/ dependents: His addiction can corrupt the good intentions of the younger generation looking up to him for inspiration, they may grow up to see gambling as a way of life and follow the wrong footprints.

Whether an addict or not, it's totally wrong and not advisable to gamble in front of children or infants. Children tend to emulate their parents or immediate guardians pretty fast and whatever thing you choose to expose them to is what they'll tend to grow up with, this is why it's wrong to gamble or even speak of gambling in their presence ( whether an addict or not) else they'll start harboring the idea and little by little, they'll start nurturing the idea and before you know it, they'll start to practice it in one way or the other, and when it gets to that point, the idea is already registered in their young mind and they'll grow up with that mentality.

It's just like saying don't drink irresponsibly or get drunk in front of kids rather than saying don't drink at all in front of kids.

Greed will increase the chances of losing money from gambling.  When gambling in new situations they often risk all their money due to over greediness. Do not over greedy while gambling.

This is what is wrong when a gambler comes without having a true understanding of gambling, after all gambling is nothing more than a game of "probability" which means maybe you lose or maybe you win, it is always about those two things that will happen at the end of the gambling session you do. Sometimes people who initially have a correct understanding of what gambling is, do not mean they can maintain the beliefs and beliefs they carried from the start about gambling which is just a game of probability, one of the reasons is that winning can change your mindset and perspective. Look at them as time goes by, and beliefs like that will usually start to emerge when you manage to get a win that is quite tempting and that's where you can assume to yourself that "this place can be used to earn income".

This is the start of an addiction  scenario where you will continue to play with the aim of wanting to win again like before, the number of attempts will increase because of the hope that is driven by the belief of winning, but what they don't realize is that along the way the casino will continue to drain. the money they have slowly in several sessions that they have passed which ended in defeat, not only that because when you win it doesn't mean you can stop because greed will play a role when you are in a situation like that so you even put a bigger amount in the hope and higher confidence for bigger wins.

life is neglected, even our own family will sometimes hate and shun us due to gambling addiction, it is so painful that everything is destroyed because of gambling, we don't have a family, our finances are disrupted and even if we want to stop it will be difficult to do so.

Families don't neglect you because you are gambling except you are only gambling without profit and you don't have other source of income, that is why nobody should rely on gambling alone because if you do, at the time you are not making profit you will not be able to take care of yourself or family. Hence, the advise is that gambling should not be looked at as a primary source of income but secondary or fun adventure not what you rely on to feed your family.

If you don't gamble responsibly then you can have all the regrets and family expressing hate but if you have a balance in yourself and provide for your family, you will still be loved. Money is an important factor to a peaceful home so whether as a gambler or other kinds of job, you need to take care of the family.

Gambling addiction has many negative impacts on family, social and personal life. The changes in behavior shown by gambling addicts are very clear, they prefer to be angry and easily carried away by emotions and commit other violence and it is not uncommon for them to commit domestic violence. Whether violence against their wives or children as a result of their gambling. They suffer more and more losses, there are no addicts gambling that can recover their losses, the more they chase losses, the more they will face bankruptcy, economic damage and not being able to manage their money well due to their addiction.

The points you mentioned above are true points experienced by gambling addicts, when they are married then they are role models for their children. If their parents are gambling addicts then a child grows up following in his father's wrong footsteps and the same goes for his health because Gambling addiction can slowly damage a person's mental state and when they are no longer able to bear the burden, gambling addicts can usually do things out of control, such as committing suicide, because that is the only way their problem can be resolved.

Not only in every family but also in other religious beliefs, they think gambling is actually bad. Gambling is not only bad for gamblers who gamble in casinos, whether online or offline, in the field of gambling business.

But there are other gamblers who do not become addicts because they are able to manage themselves correctly in these situations, just as they do not allow themselves to become addicted or get addicted to their personalities as gamblers.

Don't link gambling with religion because it is clear that gambling is strongly frowned upon by any religion, gambling alone is considered bad by society, especially if it becomes an addiction, there are definitely many people who don't like the behavior of gambling addicts. Gambling addiction has indeed made many people feel disadvantaged, both in their social lives and in terms of our financial health, therefore many people are against gambling because they are worried that many people could experience gambling addiction which will result adverse impact from generation to generation.

Yes, there are indeed gamblers who do not become addicted as long as they are able to control themselves, manage their finances well and have a time limit for gambling, so that you don't get addicted which ultimately harms you and your finances. Usually, such gamblers have full responsibility in the family, prioritizing their home life rather than prioritizing their gambling.

A little more observation shows clearly other effects of such addiction to just not the addict alone, but those around them, be it friends, family or neighbors. Here are a few of them:

Is it not that a given? I mean if I invest in an asset and I lose then nothing else can happen as this was a movement that I made purely to benefit myself economically.

However, those that are addicted are not only pursuing the possibility of obtaining more money through gambling, they simply want to keep doing so for as long as possible, so their compulsive behavior has almost no other reason to be than to perpetuate itself, so it should be obvious that negative effects other than losing money must appear.

Of course, the impact of gambling addiction cannot be forgotten, anyone who is able to think well will certainly behave carefully so as not to harm other people and not only that, a severe addiction will cause the addict's mental health to be disturbed.
It is not easy to cure someone's addiction, but if the person doesn't really want to recover then they won't be able to stop it in any way. The family also has an important role in healing addiction, but depending on the views and decisions of each addict, he will think about stopping or continuing.

life is neglected, even our own family will sometimes hate and shun us due to gambling addiction, it is so painful that everything is destroyed because of gambling, we don't have a family, our finances are disrupted and even if we want to stop it will be difficult to do so.

This is why realization and self-awareness are important for everyone because one needs to think it through before they get into anything in their life when they know it's not just about them but they might lose everything they have if they face certain problems after starting to do something, like in gambling, a person understands that if they get addicted, they will have a hard time getting out of it and if they can't do that, they will most likely get themselves ruined.

So, someone who is getting into gambling should understand both the positive and negative consequences of gambling and then they should evaluate the ways they should use so that they can avoid the risks that can lead them towards the negative consequences so that they don't face severe problems because of their gambling activities.

Those who want to enter the world of gambling should be able to think about and understand the negative impacts of gambling, but what is often found is that they come to gambling without making any preparations. Because they are curious to see what other people have, they also want to get it. Indeed, it is not wrong if they gamble, but they must be able to know what they have to do and learn when gambling so that they are not influenced by the temptations that exist in gambling. Many people have fallen into gambling because they did not make the proper preparations so they are fascinated and end up drowning in gambling.

If they already know what to do and learn, they will try to prevent themselves from experiencing gambling problems, including preventing themselves from experiencing gambling addiction because it can have an impact on the people around them. They have to think about what is happening to the people around them so that they can prevent themselves from gambling excessively and can still control themselves well.

When a person loses a lot of money in gambling and is a gambling addict, his her life is totally destroyed and it is not just his financial loss. I would reckon that he will lose his family, his wife and his children if he loses too much money in gambling. No one wants to live with a loser and a person who is mentally sick (that is the reason he is addicted to gambling).

When a person is addicted to winning while gambling, he will not even realize when he will lose all his money because of addiction to winning. Can never be loaded while gambling. Greed will increase the chances of losing money from gambling.  When gambling in new situations they often risk all their money due to over greediness. Do not over greedy while gambling.

When a gambler is addicted to gambling, his ability to determine of right and wrong also goes wrong and he is influenced by emotion, becomes greedy and does not make the right choices when gambling.
It will have a bad impact not just on the financial aspects but also on his relations with near and dear ones and his health may suffer also (depending upon how severe is his gambling addiction).

That negative impression from children that sees a gambler as an example and they want to be like them when they grow up. First, it's about the money that they're showing to them and thinking that gamblers earn unlimited amount of money and that's why they want to be like them when they grow up. That's a very wrong description on how they want to be as they grow older and not a perfect example to start with. And what's bad on this is that it won't just be your children that will look up on you but also the other kid relatives that you have that you've been showing goodness on them just because you're happy to give them gifts. It might come from their mouths that they want to be like you as they old. But as a responsible gambler, you have to counter them with words and answer politely that they have to be better and look for something else as their future career.

I know that it's just a kid wishing for some good future. But as an adult and responsible gambler, we need to direct them with something better and you don't neglect what they say because kids can easily remember and as they're curious with matters. That's how intelligent they are and they're going to bring that up until they grow old. So, while you can explain to them correctly on what they have to avoid and what you do, better give them a nicer example of future careers that they want to be when they become adults. Not a gambler that have been inspired by you and it's going to put a shame on you if that's your kid or your relative that have told you that they're looking up on you.

Decrease in overall productivity of individual: Addiction reduces the value that you add to wherever you are engaged career wise as you are mostly distracted with gambling thereby reducing your commitment and dedication to your duties, this might significantly reduce the overall company productivity and lead to job loss.

health Challenges: A gambling addict is always under pressure and tension and as such is prone to health challenges like high blood pressure, depression, and on the part of his people, they might be suffering from the psychological implications of his lifestyle which includes social stigma.

violence : most gambling addicts are prone to violent behaviors owing to anger issues from much losses and this might greatly affect his relationship with his immediate family and people around him who might start seeing him as a wild animal.

your contributions are very much welcome as we learn together the many demerits of gambling addiction to inform both those currently addicted and intending addicts of the dangers of that irrational lifestyle.

What we are all saying drives all to the fact that gambling addiction is causing more harm than financial loss.
This thread is more or less like a debate that should be discussed and thoroughly talk about the change that will evolve.
Normally Gambling addiction has done us more harm than financial loss in the sense that all that you've mentioned here are major part of it.

We are all talking about the gambling addiction causes and not looking into the financial loss as well which also need to be discussed too.and yes we all know the advantage and disadvantages of gambling addiction but let's talk about financial loss too that has made a lot of people be traumatized based on one mistake or the other.lets compare both so we know which one has done more harm than the other not just talking about one.

life is neglected, even our own family will sometimes hate and shun us due to gambling addiction, it is so painful that everything is destroyed because of gambling, we don't have a family, our finances are disrupted and even if we want to stop it will be difficult to do so.

Well, if your families and friends are not used to having accompanying people who are addicted to any sort of gambling or drugs, you won't be tolerated and the worst-case scenario is you will be kicked out of home since they can no longer control you or you cause more harm than giving any benefits to them. when you ask those homeless who were used to living with their families, their answers are almost the same, they were kicked out because they could not be under control anymore and they don't listen to anybody inside their home, and at the end, they were force to be homeless and others are further drone to their addictions because of it and only a few of them wanted to change for the better.

Reality and self-knowledge? Absolutely. Gambling requires courage. You risk your future, peace of mind, and possibly everything you love in this high-stakes game.

Recognition of the thin line between a hobby and an addiction is the first rule of healthy gambling. Knowing the odds isnt enough - know yourself. After losing, can you leave? Ability to set and respect limits? This requires discipline, not luck. The instant you think you're outwitting the system, you lose.

Your plan should protect your life, not only avoid losses. Remember, the ultimate gambling victory is not losing yourself. Be careful, smart, and ready to leave.
