Has this ever happened to you as a gambler?

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

Foolishness, they wouldn't even be on that situation if they have a control on their own or they are in their right state of mind.
I don't think that I would ever be in that situation, I control or limit the amount that I gamble, I only play with my excess money.

[Zoomic]

Their is desperation because when a gambler is at high loses he becomes very desperate and all his thinking faculty get blocked off because all what his mind will be telling him is to actually find a way to recover that funds even when he knows that he doesn't have nothing left to play somethings he can even sell his property at the spot or loan them because he is desperate and also too greedy to let go but on the greed aspect it's not too clear because only your emotions here and there can flip things for ya.

This is enhanced by the fact that the casino is like a machine which can both make money and lose money and is right in front of the gambler. So they get a false confidence that they can make the money back right from the casino if they play with more money. This increases the chances of their losses and stacks up more losses before they can recover and ultimately leads to a vicious cycle.

That is when all the borrowing money and all that comes in place. Which is another mistake waiting to be made.

The method to get out of this cycle is stop playing and find other ways to make the money back and pay off debts.

I doubt gamblers can actually recover money they've lost through gambling. This is just the sad reality they need to get used to. There was a time I was actively involved in sports betting, I place bets literally everyday but only gain from my bets once in a very long while. Although my intentions were not necessarily to recover all I've lost through gambling, I just wanted to win and feel happy. It occurred to me that I was actually losing more than I was gaining, my occasional wins could not even cover up for my losses during those period.

Winning feels good but most times, it doesn't cover all that was lost. Gamblers who are getting themselves indebted just for the sake of gambling are not doing themselves any favour because they will be losing more than they will earn. It is better to gamble for the fun of it and enjoy the win if it eventually comes.

A gambler can be such a situation when they losses their mind while gambling. For example if you stayed too long at the casino, you might spend all your money because you will feel biased and want to make sure you win something huge and on the process of continuous pushing for a win, you might not know when you have spend all the money you came with thinking that you still have some money left with you. If a gamblee is also addicted to gambling, he can be a victim to such situation.

Do you know that you can still spend a lot of time in the casino and still don't lose all of your money there? I know the chances of losing it all there are very high, but there are times when someone can spend a lot of time in the casino and not even make a single bet there. 
 
Sometimes I can just visit my favourite online casino when I'm bored and might not have any money to gamble with, but I will just be watching live matches and crash landings because I just want to pass time but don't really want to place a bet on any of the games, and the time I spend there doesn't determine if I will waste money or not.

Well I think what normally causes that is being too much addicted to gambling more especially in this virtual side although this virtual bet don really rubbish some many people's too much in gambling bet office that is why I normally prefer to play life bet than virtual bet because among all virtual bet is the most dangerous one and once you are being addicted into virtual gambling it will be very hard for the person to change.

[TheUltraElite]

Of course they cannot but the addiction makes them play and continue playing. They think that the money they lost, can easily be recovered because they are in the place to "make money" which is again a false notion. Like I said in my previous post, logical thinking stops once the guilt of losing money takes over and they no longer think of stopping and leaving, rather they try to cover the guilt by playing.

Even if someone wins the jackpot after years of grinding the cumulative loss is more than the jackpot prize, sad reality.

You're right, that's the perfect answer to the OP's question, it mostly gambling addiction that would make someone to continue betting even while their losing streaks is piling up. One of the gambling event that could easily make one to go broke is the virtual bet it's a little more difficult to predict than others and requires one to be very strategic else you might end up losing all your money to it in one particular day. I've never been in such situation and I don't pray to find myself in a situation whereby I'll be stranded in a betting shop cause of addiction, however during my college days I've seen fellow students use their tuition fees on virtual gambling and it didn't turn out good and that's why I didn't even bother going into that line, I'll rather stick to the normal football gambling or basketball which are more easier than the virtual gambling.

Greediness can makes someone becomes like that and no one can imagine when they will be like that. That's what happens to those who can't control themselves in gambling because gambling can tempts them easily to keeps playing gambling. Besides that, we don't have to asks someone to place the bet for us because we can do that by ourselves.

We can be at that situation if we can't controls ourselves and that can interfere our emotion and can't accepts the outcomes from gambling. We must remember that playing gambling needs moderation and limits our money, especially if we asks for someone helps to place the bet for us. We must thinks how we will pay that person if we don't have any money so we must really be careful when playing gambling. We must uses the money we can afford to lose and not spends too much money when playing gambling.

Yeah, and they use the jackpot amount to try and win more money instead of taking it as an opportunity to at least have some of the money they have lost throughout their gambling journey back and use it for something useful. This is how they lose what they have earned even if it's just a portion of their cumulative losses.

Responsible gambling is what one should embrace as soon as one realizes that gambling is not a way for them to earn money because no matter how hard you try, you are eventually going to lose your money and then you will regret why you spent so much money on gambling, you start thinking about the things you could do with that money but since it's gone now, nothing can happen.

This is another reason why people should have plan for their gambling amount let say when gambling there should be amount set aside for the gambling when that amount is exhausted they should stop for the day/week or even month until that amount is being refilled before they could start gambling. Greed mostly affects the mindset of everyone gambling if they don't apply a responsible gambling practice, at first it would increase the addictive nature in them when they lose money they will try their best to recover the amount they have used to gamble at this point they don't know when they drastically gets emptied.

Once they become responsible they will no longer be able to gamble, because their dormant conscience would soon catch up.

Gambling should be kept limited in the "fun" domain, but close to 100% of gamblers visit casinos in an attempt to make money not for tourism. So greed coupled with the spirit to win money before the casino does in an attempt o beat the casino is what takes over and then it is next to impossible to stop playing.

Be humble with what you have and dont be greedy.

Totally. There should be limits placed on what you are willing to spend. Combined with self-discipline, you should have a fun time. And, it's pretty hard to accomplish, it's much easier to tell a person what he should do rather than follow it in a real situation, but we should strive to

Easy to say but it would really be that hard to be done. This is where some people do turn out to be laughable on which giving out some advises but on the moment that they are on such situation then
they are the ones who do experience out some issues on which this is really just that typical to happen into this space. Somehow showing up some concern into someone isnt that bad since not
all would really be having that losing control on the time or moment that they do gamble out. There are really just that those individuals who arent that good on standing into their words and as if

[Julien_Olynpic]

Only an addicted person can do this. One of the signs of an addicted gambler is that he does not know what bankroll management is. For an addicted gambler, it is important to have the opportunity to play another game to win back and pay off debts. It seems to him that the next time the bet will be magical, will bring him incredible profit and will enrich him for the rest of his life. Since there is no bankroll management, the gambler does not cope well with losses. Each subsequent loss deals a significant blow to his budget. Of course, at some point he will start giving away his things for debts, because he no longer has money.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

It has not happened to me personally, but from cases I have known or heard about from other people, this case does not surprise me at all.

That's why on good sites one of the responsible gambling features you can set is a maximum weekly deposit limit. The problem is that the problem gambler, when the compulsion sets in and he sees that he can no longer deposit on his site, ends up finding another site to deposit on and losing his money.

It is often difficult to control oneself while gambling and some gamblers consider it a means of making money. I say that if a gambler only participates in gambling for fun, it can be easier to control himself.
As the tendency to earn money increases it becomes addictive. One should gamble with extra money so that even if it is lost, it does not have such a negative impact on one's personal life. I don't want to carry extra money while gambling because I know it is very difficult to control myself at the gambling board. Gambling tendencies are good but one should refrain from excessive gambling.

[Pi-network314159]

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?

It is simply playing game and hoping for a win to pay for their ticket. one thing about some Gamblers is that they don't have second thoughts running through their mind. They don't even think that what if I end up losing what would be my chance of leaving the casino hall freely? I just think it's addiction and foolishness all together.

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

Addictions, greediness, stupidly, lack of self control and many more.

It is common thing, like proverb that says theory will be much easier than practice and that is what always happens to most people.
All of us, me or even you may be able to give advice and direction to others and we speak like wise person, but when we experience the same condition, we still have difficulty in responding to it and even worse we cannot solve it properly.
But the most important thing is that we must be able to speak according to the facts and experiences that we have experienced, there are so many people who do need advice and direction when some bad conditions occur in gambling, we must be able to help each other and remind each other even though we are also in complicated problems.

Both points are good factors to avoid getting hook too much and become addicted, if you play to have some fun using spare money, there's no way that you'll be getting to deep as after you lose the budget you simply go and stop, unlike if you are aiming to win and all that matters are the money, then greed will start to dominates you and will lead you to addiction.

Some can use their last penny to gamble and don't mind living in penury for their entire life, gambling is not what should leave a negative impact on our lives, we are gambling all because we want to have fun and make everything look alright for ourselves, we have to think on the consequences of gambling before we can make decisions on whether to continue with it or have a limit to what we are doing, this is mostly our own personal decision and indecision which may affect the way we are gambling.

It falls down to Stupidity. No person in sane mind who place all their money in gambling. That is beyond irresponsibility, especially to a family man. Whoever have done this will need to see a psychologist, because there is something serious about how these kind of person thinks which obviously not normal.
