Is it right to advice other people against gambling for personal reasons like??

[junder]

People dont like talking about gambling addiction. The best way to help folks struggling is to start with understanding. We need better education on this issue, the kind that truly explains the struggle. Not just pamphlets, but real, accessible information. And forget the shame game - that's not going to help anyone. We need folks to know they're not alone, that support is out there.

The system needs a shakeup. We're talking resources, the best of the best, not some half-baked solution. We gotta understand how addiction works, get to the psychology of it. This isnt about weakness, its about needing a helping hand. And that hand needs to be strong, consistent. Its time to invest in this, the real smart way. We can make a difference, we can help folks get their lives back on track. This isnt something we can ignore, we need bold solutions, solutions that will change lives.

Of course there is support from their environment, and not only that, there are also people who don't like gambling addiction, because gambling addiction is a bad thing, so it's only natural that there are some people who don't like gambling addiction. with the environment in life, of course they will definitely have friends to share their complaints with, and if they do, they will definitely give good advice or direction, including perhaps education which is like support for those who are addicted to gambling.

By becoming addicted, of course the problem is their thinking, why they can gamble excessively, it's because their thoughts are wrong about gambling, so their thinking leads them to gamble excessively. All problems must have a solution, including gambling addiction, there must be a solution, but this case is difficult to overcome if the main perpetrator does not have the intention to stop gambling.

Yes, that's fine. If the experience he's got was terrible then he is in all of his might to discourage people from gambling. From 10 bet to losing his life savings? Clearly, the problem is on him and he's just sharing his story to the other people that might end up being addicted as well and that's a good share that he can give to everybody. He even has got the guts to share it because not every failed gambler will tell their unique stories.
And this helps other gamblers when they're on the verge of being addicted as it will show how someone ended up if they are not going to stop. Nothing wrong with gambling as you do it with moderation. But the problem with many of us is that we forget to moderate and have some time to stop when it is necessary and even when we've been winning already, we're not stopping yet but we wait until we lose everything and that's the time we're realizing that there's a need for us to stop.

One of the main reasons on why gambling industry or business is really that profitable it is just because of this kind of such changes on where a certain individual would be able to achieve or obtain
specially on the time that you would really be trying out to chase up your loses or on the time that you do already make yourself greedy. This is the most common or main behavior that you would really be able to encounter on the moment that you would really be stepping your foot into this space. IF we do see people around or specifically into those whom you do know or near or close to you and seen up that they are already
that spending too much or excessively involved in gambling then it would be might that common sense that giving out advises isnt a bad thing to consider.

This isnt really a meaning on getting involved into someones life but rather this is really a show of concern to other people. If they would be able to listen up your words then its good
but if they wont listen then its up to their choice, at least you have told them about the risks.

It seems that the person really experienced a real loss of money, or the point is that he said a real life experience because seeing from his idea of begging everyone to read his experience of concern, and I think that the incident experienced by the person can really be used as a lesson here which means that even if for example in the initial stage you only gamble with a small amount but it is not impossible that in the end over time you will gamble with a very large amount.

Like the man who lost $60,000 starting from a $10 budget allocation, there was an increase and change in his gambling activities which over time he became more impulsive and aggressive in treating his gambling activities. Basically I would probably say that this kind of incident is quite normal if we go back and look at the things that are involved in gambling, which gambling can make a person fall into and get carried away without realizing it because of the many things that look very tempting that are difficult to ignore, but you can do something else to minimize the possibility of such bad things happening a little bit by not putting seriousness and hope in winning in gambling, make sure you only gamble when you want to and when you have the amount you can afford to lose, and also make sure you put a limit on the time of involvement. It's a choice, if you don't want to quit then you have to take and implement a lot of precautions along with being strict.

OP I have come to realize that all humans have their paths in life just as everyone human has their life to live. What might work for Mr. A might not work out for Mr. B. What might be a good opportunity for Mr. B might be a bad one for Mr. A. Experience varies likewise exposure as well. The gambler who lost his whole savings  likely did not get orientation before hand. He just dabled into gambling with the mindset of making profit and getting rich which I believed to be his mindset but the reverse was the case.

He lost everything he has worked for in life does not mean others would be like him. He ignored the basic gambling fundamentals and gambled without a second thought. I believe he had lost everything as a result of chasing his lose. In so doing he became addicted and continued gambling till he lost everything. It is nice he is sharing his experience for others to learn from and control themselves but this should not make him think others would be like him who gambled all he had.

Right or wrong, when someone gives advises it's surely came from their own experiences. And it's up to the person listening to that adviser if they think it's a worthwhile tip that will help them.

We're all big to understand the good and bad advises to us. So, if you're a gambler and you hear someone explains his experience and he's just telling people what they must do based on what he went through, there's nothing wrong with that.

Thus, these listeners should be thankful to him because he can be a sign that they're looking for whether to stop or totally quit from it.

Own experience or came from other peoples experiences on which a certain person is been wary about those probable things that could happen, on the time that they are seeing the actual condition of a person whose really that into gambling and becomes addicted to it then it would really be normal that they would really be giving out those kind of advises basing up on the  things that they've seen.
Its not really that bad on giving out advises into those people who had been doing gambling on excessive manner and since we are the ones who are aware on what are they doing then
it is really just that a human instinct on trying out to make some advises because you dont really like for someone to experience the bitter taste of failure or messing up your life with due to gambling.

As long that someone is really that willing to listen up someones advise then he could be able to save up himself, but if not then expect that
things comes worst as you do go forward.

Do you guys think it's OK to advice other gamblers to quit gambling simply because of your own bad experience, does your bad experience mean that every other gambler out there will also have the same bad experience?
I will like some really useful discussions around this topic.

It can never be said that everyone will win or be successful in gambling. Some will succeed and some will fail. Not everyone's gambling situation is the same. I have seen many gamblers who are not successful in their gambling but there are many who are successful. The fact that I personally may not be successful at gambling, it does not mean that someone else will not. Everyone's fate should not be treated equally. However, gambling will never do any good for those who over gamble or manage to become addicted to gambling. But there is no way to say that everyone is an addicted gambler. I never tell others to give up gambling even if they are not successful because not everyone handles gambling the same way. Everyone has different strategies that some can apply to win and some to lose.

[dezoel]

To be honest, I don't find anything wrong with a person telling others not to do what he has done just so that they don't face the same negative consequences as he did, and as far as gambling is concerned, we know how addictive it can be and anyone who gets addicted to it tends to lose more money than they can afford to lose eventually, and that is all because they were irresponsible with their gambling activities just like this guy who were advising others to quit or stop gambling because he had seen what it can do.

So, a gambler might read his post and realize that the dude is right and one should be careful when they are gambling, and maybe he will be more careful with his money and gambling activities from now on. This is why, I feel sharing experiences might save other people from having the same results if they learn from it.

I think it's in human nature to warn others (in your group) from your own (negative) experiences. The idea that someone who has faced negative consequences due to a particular behavior, such as gambling, may feel compelled to advise others against it to prevent them from experiencing similar hardships. The mention of the addictive nature of gambling and the financial losses associated with it adds weight to the argument. I think the importance of learning from one's own mistakes and using that knowledge to guide others away from potential harm.

Many people doing crypto or stock trading also lose huge amount of money sometimes, but we never hear such complaints about this activity. Risks are the same though. And you can become addict exactly in the same away. It's such a little bit risky for your funds when you win because unlike casinos you're not winning the money belonging to the platform("the house") but the one belonging to other users.

Advices are given out daily and most gamblers are ignorant. We face risks and most of us have become acquainted with the current unstable phase of gambling system, but most of us end up losing huge figures and keep it to ourselves, everyone is different. We have the required money and knowledge, it'd meant to share them inother to provide aides for those that desperately need them in the space. Everyone have the challenges they're facing and I must say, it's been really been really a rough path to follow this season.

No one can stop anyone from gambling forcefully, but through advice that can be achieved, and this is why I don't see it as something bad to tell gamblers not to gamble anymore so that they don't become victim to addiction.

Gambling is like smoking that is dangerous to health. Tobacco company do warn against smoking, that is dangerous to health and yet more people are involved in smoking cigarettes. That is why I don't se any harm in advising people not to gamble, because they will still gamble, either due to addiction or for fun.

[danherbias07]

It's okay to advise not to gamble but not because we had a bad experience in our past. For new gamblers or still thinking about it, it's better to point them in the right direction which is to avoid gambling as much as possible. But for gamblers who have already started, it's up to them if they want to continue or not. It can also depend on the situation, let's say he is already a gambling addict and we are a good friend of his, it is better to also just make him stop as soon as possible and it's controllable. But for those who are just playing for fun, I will let them be as long as they are enjoying what they do.

We have different perspectives about gambling and one person could not just say we should stop especially if we are finding joy in gambling especially those who are fans of sports where it adds more spice to the game when they put some money on the line.

[Agbe]

This is not the first time such has happened. Even without telling anyone, if you loss huge amount of and in your sober mood about the lost, people would be discouraged to play gamble but that has not stopped anyone from gambling. Gambling is just like a personal race what happened to others, they would take courage to play the more by having the hope that they will hit the jackpot one day even though that person loss, "we are not the same". I have also seen gamblers discouraging people not to participate in gambling because it is like a cankerworm which is eating your savings until your pocket or wallet becomes zero then at that time you will relax to think what make you to gamble all your money. Telling people the disadvantages of gambling is not the issue but will they hear your advise? Real gamblers would even debunk your advice.

Hi guys and ladies,

Sorry I can't share the Facebook post this thread stems from, as I lost the post, hours ago before deciding to bring it up as a discussion on this forum.

Like 6 to 7 hours ago, I was over there on Facebook scrolling my life-time away  , I came to this post where the user was advising readers on how bad gambling is, being a gambler myself, I decided to open the post in fall to read and know what the dude is all about, and from all the story, it seems the dude went all in on a gambling sprey which didn't turn out the way he had anticipated, according to him, he had lost all his life savings (over $60,000) to gambling and it all started with a bet of $10.

And right now, the dude is all out to castigate and discourage as many that are willing to give him a listening ear; from gambling, all for what? Because gambling didn't turn out well for him, he lost his entire life savings, and he now believed that that is exactly how every other persons out there gambling will lose too.

What do you make of this, I honestly do not know but deep inside of me, I feel it's absolutely wrong to advice people against doing something, just because you did the same thing and it did not favor you..

Do you guys think it's OK to advice other gamblers to quit gambling simply because of your own bad experience, does your bad experience mean that every other gambler out there will also have the same bad experience?

I think there's nothing wrong what that person posted in his social media, that's his own thoughts and comments about gambling based in his own experience, so that's fine, as you can see, no matter how many times people share any negative thoughts and experience in gambling, many are still participating on it. We cannot please them but at least we know what are the possible things may happen if we continue doing gambling and being careless. Actually, there are many people who say that it is not good to make gambling as a hobby because it is really addictive, that's why everyone is told that we need to be wiser in the actions and decisions we make once we enter gambling activities. Most people know what the bad sides of gambling are, it's up to them if they let gambling ruin their lives or if they keep the balance of life and gambling activity.

[Miles2006]

Gambling is not bad as most people paint gambling, the only wrong here is they refuse to gamble wisely and it look stupid, I still don't understand why a person will stake more like a hard earn saving just to cashout huge amount so bad. The person in question is not wrong sharing his/her bad experience cause I believe almost every gambler has an ugly experience but the narrative sound wrong advising people to quit gambling is wrong. I observed something this past week with some gamblers, after winning they fail to leave the casino shop but rather they use same win to stake more. After winning why not buy something nice cause hearing all this false narrative gambling is bad is getting tiring. I believe everyone have their own style when it comes to gambling but if people can understand and gamble with what they can afford to lose things like this will not bother gamblers

[boyptc]

If we're living in a country that has freedom of speech then that's not a biggie that someone has to be problematic about.

We've got a lot of problems already dealing from our day to day living and to add with this, there's no need to be too worried about such because if someone doing it for good sake.

We just have to look at that good side of it and not to mention if it against our will because we're gamblers but if there's a good intention, we have to give that credit to that guy.

Well, it's not really bad to give advices to other people because you had a really bad experience about gambling. Though, it may turn out differently for other people who can actually control themselves not to gamble away their life savings or going beyond his budget intended only for gambling, but this kind of advices will somehow serve as reminders that we can get out of control at anytime causing you to lost a lot of money. This story isn't new to any gamblers, we have heard a lot of similar stories about this, but there are still a lot who have lost money excessively.

You only hear about people losing everything and their life savings as a result of gambling, not about people who play responsibly and walk away with their profits. People enjoy sharing and hearing about these large loss stories because they are exciting and dramatic, but we need to come to the realization that they are not the only ones out there. For every individual who loses everything, there are many others who bet properly and avoid losing everything.

Hmm, well if you look at the stats, I think it will be obvious that the majority of those that get deeply immersed in gambling had negative effects instead of positive ones. Not all people have strong self-control especially when it comes to the concept of playing with luck. What's really dangerous is that you start small and then you end up spending, or wasting, a big amount in the process. I would advise against excessive gambling but it would still be up to the person I've given advice to if they'll heed. I doubt that my personal losses would be considered as a factor for them to decide not to gamble.

[Pi-network314159]

There is no point for that man to discourage people not to gamble, after he might have lose $60k anything that happens to him, that made him spend that kind of money is nobody's fault. I think he took gambling far to another extent and of which he shouldn't have, according to the story he started from $10 to $60k what if he continued gambling with that same limit of $10, he may have not spend this amount he did. It is obvious that he has increased his gambling limit from small to big untill he lost alot of it. Gambling is good but there is no point discouraging someone when gambling didn't play as much as expected. If it where to be wining he may have encouraged gambling. But since it didn't turn out well reverse has been the case now.

That's the perfect advice for other people rather than giving them an advice not to gamble anymore because we have our own experiences and it depends to us on how we handle our gambling time and spending, right?  Also, if you lose at gambling, can you be sure other people will lose too so you can stop them from gambling? it's not, right? because our winnings really depends on luck, strategy and our own destiny. We can't convince others not to gamble or stopping them in participating gambling activities, we can only give them an advice and it's up to them if they will follow it or not.
