Has this ever happened to you as a gambler?

[Out of mind]

Although I haven't experienced such an incident yet, I think it is definitely due to an addiction and greed. When a gambler goes to play betting, if he does not have money in hand, he must deposit the parts he has with him and start betting with money. Although the guy you saw bet money with his mobile allotment it is not at all right, but I think he is addicted to huge amount of bets. If that person was not addicted to gambling then he would never have thought of mortgaging his mobile phone, instead he would gamble later when he had money. However, I think it means that his motives and his greed worked which made him do such a stupid thing anyway, no one should do such a thing, but it is best to refrain from it.

What could cause a gambler to place a bet to the extent that he no longer has money to pay for the games he played?


This story happened in my presence on Friday, when I visited a physical betting shop to book some games after that my battery ran down in the process of trying to place some bets with my smartphone to bet on a game that will kick-start in some minutes. There I was, there was this gentleman who was there before me playing the visual game and to cut the whole story short at the end, the gambler started having issues with the person who placed the games for him, reason being that after playing the visual game the gambler no longer has the money to pay the person, and he optioned to dropping his smartphone until when he brings the money and the money amounts to about $15+ and this lead to the owner of the shop inviting the police to settle the matter.

So the question now is: What could really put a gambler in such a situation, addiction, or greediness?

Addiction is something that gamblers experience and the cause is of course greed and excessive self-confidence. They want to win more money. They firmly believe that gambling can bring them wealth and change their fate. These are the thoughts experienced by someone when starting to become addicted to gambling. I have a friend who is recovering from a gambling addiction as I said in another thread. They become addicted and greedy because they do not think that gambling is not a source of income. And winning the jackpot requires luck that you can't predict. And you shouldn't expect to be that lucky person because there are many losses that you will experience if you gamble too much.

When a gambler experiences gambling addiction and greed, he will only continue to gamble without stopping because he thinks that gambling has become an important part of his life. He will deposit more money to gamble without estimating how much money he will spend gambling.
They will think about how they can have money to keep gambling, and they might pawn their smartphones or other valuable stuff so they can have money. And once they have money, they will immediately use it to gamble because that has become the focus of their life.
He wouldn't think why he did something stupid like that because he didn't want to do other things that could provide benefits, but instead, he fell deeper into gambling. That's why we must always practice self-control and limit our gambling because that is what can prevent us from gambling addiction and also greed.

A gambling addict is ready to do anything to gamble. I have not seen it but reading many posts I have seen some addicts have kidnapped their grandsons for gambling and killed their fathers for gambling. Thousands of such incidents are heard from individuals so a gambling addict is ready to do anything to get his gambling done. This has never happened to me because I use a fixed budget of income for gambling and I don't spend any money outside of the fixed budget on the gambling platform. I don't care about the losing budget if I lose on this budget that I spend on gambling. Every person should use a certain budget of income for gambling and also should take gambling as a pastime. When a person takes gambling as a pastime and uses a fixed income budget, that person will never become addicted to gambling.

Addiction, greed and desperation of chasing the losses.

You'd see this normally in the physical betting shop when someone who still want to gamble but has lost everything that he brought. You'd be surprise that someone is going to approach you and will sell the gadgets that he's got and even watches that they wear.

At much worse case scenario, even the branded things that they have like clothes, bags, and all of those material things. That's why it's not shocking when someone goes to that point of losing everything but just can't accept defeat and want to stay longer through means of selling their stuff.

I've never been to a physical casino, and I'm not planning to, but I'm dumbfounded that people actually do this. Has anyone witnessed himself seeing someone trying to sell their watches, phones, or other gadgets they're using just to continue gambling after already losing a large sum of money? I believed that it only happened in the movies; that's the only place I've seen it, but I hadn't realized that this is probably something that isn't unusual in the real world. I didn't see many replies claiming to have witnessed it, so that at least makes me a little more optimistic that it's not happening too frequently. However, it's not too different from selling your personal belongings in order to acquire money to gamble., which unfortunately is a common behavior addicts engage in.

It's not happening too frequently again but it used to happen very much back in the days and I have done it too. One time I was too desperate to gamble as I was sure of myself of being very lucky that day but didn't have any money on me, I sold my watch and used the money to gamble, I lost all the money that day still and ever since I don't try doing it again regardless of how sure of myself about a game. Even if I get a cheat to use for winning, I won't sell any of my property to do that.

Visit physical casino and you might encounter some individual doing this, some gamblers would had over gambled more than they budgeted for and they don't have any more money on them therefore they'll have to sell something on them to raise the money to pay the casino. Those that are victims are always gambling addicts or those individual that are too greedy, they always want to win but aren't lucky.

Addiction refers to the inability to control the urge to gamble despite the consequences. While Greediness means wanting more than what is needed. Both can have severe consequences. Most probably the gentleman from your story was struggling with addiction or was being greedy, he kept betting until he ran out of money. It's important to seek help and gamble responsibly.

[Gozie51]

If that person was not addicted to gambling then he would never have thought of mortgaging his mobile phone, instead he would gamble later when he had money. However, I think it means that his motives and his greed worked which made him do such a stupid thing anyway, no one should do such a thing, but it is best to refrain from it.

In his case, it is a different thing when you go into gambling house to mortgage your phone to have to play your bet. He had already started playing and lost all his money, there was no other option for him if not to drop his phone to replace his debt until he comes back with money to redeem his debt to collect his phone.

His experience is peculiar to visual betting because it is a live bet and sometimes you also get carried away thinking you still have some money more left with you. It is peculiar to such betting and not necessarily that such person going through that at the time is an addicted gambler because I have also seen a newbie visual gambler running into such situation and the option left for the gambling agent is to collect their belonging worth of the bet owed or belonging that will make the debtor gambler come to redeem his debt. Usually in cases like that in different gambling shops what they mortgage is mostly the phone.

They are all wrong, the only thing that's capable of changing someones e financial problem is if they can learn something new, a rare skills will get you there faster than trying to get rich will gambling, there are some very lucrative skills even in this crypto space that's way better, highest paying kind of skills, like coding and block chain building.
Gambling is very deceiving, that's why the Bible is against this practice, it leads the mind astray easily, and only those who have strong mind can stay one step ahead of the temptations of gambling, it's not easy to be a responsible gambler, and gambling isn't something that everyone can engage with.

If you are looking forward to make a lot of money, you should look into something else, gambling isn't something that pay you for anything, you are trying to beat the house and the house is also planning to make some money every day.

Yes, those three things can leads gamblers to lose their money without having a chance to recover their lost. Someone who lose their money because playing gambling can sells their gadget or anything that they brought so they can have money to continue playing gambling. It's a signs that they are having addiction to gambling because they can't stops themselves from playing gambling. If they have a good self-control, they will not do that instead will leaves the casino without having thinking much about selling their gadgets.

Yes, that can happens to many gamblers who already addicted to gambling because they will not thinks twice to sells their stuff to have money. Their reasons is only one which is they can have money and continue to play gambling and recovers their lose. But this can attracts them to gets more losses without they realize and when they don't have anything, they will regrets it.

It happens to the physical casinos, someone will approach you randomly and you totally don't know that stranger will ask you to buy their thing because they've lost.

It's a normal scene and you already know the reason why they'd do that.

It's a real thing. And there are even worse like it's a dark secret in the physical casinos that they don't just these material stuff but even themselves. You know and get that?

That's worse honestly and knowing that there is no gender bias in there, you'll really get to know those dark secrets aside from this.

I think you already have the answer to your question and you’re just posting this for the sake of idk, impressions in the forum or post count to reach the quota (no offense meant). But whatever that is, I’ll humor you  and settle something of debate here.

Greed can get you far, desperation can get you further. Pretty sure the guy already knew what he’s getting himself in and pushed for greediness because he’s desperate as hell to bag that win for the guy who entrusted him with the money. He’s probably down on his luck and is counting on those little wins to come by so he can at the very least breka even, and when that didn’t happen and he dried the old guy’s whole bankroll, he opted for the more “financially irresponsible, but logically sensible move” to do which is pawning his phone to the old man. This happens all the time in the real world and I’m pretty sure he’s not gonna be the last guy to receive that feeling of impending doom when someone’s obliging you to pay up.

Those that are victims are always gambling addicts or those individual that are too greedy, they always want to win but aren't lucky.

Understandable, the online casinos have severely impacted the attendance at physical ones, thus, you can't bet your watch or smartphone when you're behind a computer; you can sell them though, which isn't too different.

Back to you now, at least you're acknowledging that your approach wasn't the best, your text sounds apologetic and that you've regretted it. I'm guessing became a lesson to not get carried away like that again, because you'll only lose in the process. It's a very unfortunate scenario, I'm imagining that these items sold on casinos just to keep gambling are often gifts from loved ones and it just looks too painful to give away something like that.

What could cause a gambler to place a bet to the extent that he no longer has money to pay for the games he played?

You don't need to be told that this is a result of gambling addiction. It is only addiction that can make a gambler spend all his income on the gambling shop and still play extra hoping he will win to pay the debt. This is only possible in physical shops though because online gambling will not allow a gambler gamble above his account balance.

This is a regular happenings in physical shops in my neighborhood. There are some people that spend most of their times daily in a gambling shops looking for who to assist them with cash to place their games after losing all they have. They are mostly those who plays virtual games that are settled very fast.

So the question now is: What could really put a gambler in such a situation, addiction, or greediness?

The truth is that this kind of character create bad impression about gamblers, many people see gamblers as destitutes due to the activities of these people that have not first figured and plan their finances before getting too deeply involved in gambling.

It doesn't come to me as a surprise because I've seen it many times. A gambler would walk into a betting shop with the intention of staking his bet and going home. When he sees a virtual game on the screen that he thinks would play, he'd bet on it and after he must have ended up emptying his pockets, he'd start begging his fellow gamblers money or go home not placing his bet. In such situation I don't think the gambler is being greedy rather he's addicted to gamble that he has no control over his funds.

[darkangel11]

To be honest, I don't get it. This whole thing had to be happening in some third world country because nobody will call the police to settle a $15 matter in the UK. Most likely the client will be blacklisted and told to never come back, but that's basically a cost of a pizza or a few drinks.
If the gambler had no money, this is the casino's problem because they're supposed to take money upfront. You pay before the game, or you buy chips, which is actually the same thing.
Anyway, if he was forced to leave the phone and agreed to it, that's on the gambler. I wouldn't but my phone is worth much more than what was owed.

We have funds but it doesn't mean we're suppose to trigger them on gambling without any solid significance. Gambling is risky but those that have what it takes will continue to strengthen their bonds and become prosperous in the system. Money is generated for our good because it's fuel up our energy and gambling strategies to continue milking the system. This awful incident will always happen to those gamblers that doesn't have what it takes to gamble and brings on the unpredictable conditions of having losses.

Yes, that happens to someone who loss much money but he wants to continue playing gambling. He asks someone to buy his thing in a cheap price so he can have money and playing gambling to trying to recover his losses.

That's a bad thing that people must avoid because that will not gives them a chance to gets their stuff/thing back. They don't knows that continue playing gambling can makes them losing more money. It's better they stops and leaves the casino to prevent the next losses. The situations will become worst if they want to continue playing gambling because their minds will not thinks about the losing they gets.

[YOSHIE]

So the question now is: What could really put a gambler in such a situation, addiction, or greediness?

The factors are many and varied, the world of gambling that we know often makes people darken their eyes and act anarchically and arbitrarily, if they experience defeat it doesn't only happen in physical casinos, online casinos, sometimes we often see strange behavior that they do.

This addiction and greed factor occurs suddenly, it comes when the user experiences a loss. where they have spent a lot of money in the gambling arena, but never won, even if they win they will think today is my luck, so they want to catch up on yesterday's losses, without realizing that they have shown their greedy nature and the next game they experience will have a bad impact on them, that is what many gambling and greedy addicts often feel.

Well that is something very unfortunate, the fact that a person does not have control over their money and gets carried away by emcoins, impulses and everything that they can want to chain a disorderly game is what can normally happen to someone like that, I saw that ago At some point, I went into a famous casino in a city in Colombia, and there I started to see the roulette, the slot machines, but I was simply looking, but I saw a man of approximately 50 years old, he was playing and he was winning. In the roulette, I remember that he had won a lot of money and he did not withdraw money but instead bet even more and I saw that he started to lose, he had a lot of money, it was enough for him to spend about 3 days in the country without any problems indulging in luxuries, but The truth is that when I saw he had lost half of it , and he became desperate and began to betray more and more, and when I saw that he no longer had any money left, at least from what he was earning for him, then he took out approximately a few of his own money. 150 dollars and started spending everything.

At one point, things later got out of control, he lost everything, he didn't have a single peso left and he had to walk home, because he didn't even have any money left, and then only he saw that it started to get worse. The madman, because he felt sorry for those who were watching him, was very unfortunate for him.

[Iroh]

So the question now is: What could really put a gambler in such a situation, addiction, or greediness?

In my opinion, I would sum it all up to addiction to gambling.  With addiction, all other negative emotions and feelings are bound to follow sooner.
An addicted gambler would be greedy, selfish and desperate. Such an individual would be bound to do just about anything to keep playing in false unrealistic high expectations of wining some good money. Such people are not strangers to selling off their properties for cash to satisfy the deep urge to gamble and would sell, steal and creates various schemes in order to get the money to gamble.

I ordinarily don’t get surprised when I come upon acts like this but addicts continue to come up with new and surprising ideas for getting money to satisfy their desires.
