An interesting story and experience of a gambler

[lizarder]

Good for him; he was able to use the money to give the family something and settle some financial needs, even though he bought things that were not necessary.
 
People who are close to him should try and advise him to take the right steps and avoid gambling for the main time. Let it be that it's still part of the winning that was lost back to gambling before it gets to a point where he might end up borrowing just to fulfil his gambling desire.

Money will run out if it is not used in the right place and buying things that are not needed is something that gamblers often do. The money we earn in gambling is usually easier to spend and very rarely do people have the control to buy something they need. People consider money in gambling to be hot so it is easier to spend it in uncertain places and it is very difficult for them to use the money in more productive places.

Advising people involved in gambling is not easy because they have their own understanding in assessing gambling. But there is no harm in giving advice as long as they have a friendly or fraternal relationship. About taking out a loan to gamble is a big mistake and if he does that it means he is starting to get addicted to gambling.

That's what I've always said, It's quite hard to give an advice to other people especially to a gambler because gamblers have their own rules in life and even if we advice them what's good for them, they will not follow that because some gamblers is in the point of their life that the only thing they will do is to follow their own intrusive thoughts. When it comes to spending money, it's easy for a gambler to waste money on things that aren't that important because they already have it in their mind that the money they spend is something they can easily get because of gambling but of course we shouldn't have that mindset because it's not we always win, right?

         -    I also agree with what you mentioned. It's really easy to spend the money won on the things we love, but the money won in the casino is not easy to get because usually in the casino, when a gambler plays, he always loses in the end.

That's why most gamblers are always in tears in the end because they always lose and only differ in the amount that can be lost in casino gambling. It's even worse to gamble on debt; it's not a normal habit, in my opinion.

That's what will happen when you can't control your lust and greed - you'll gamble irresponsibly and you'll buy things you don't really need in the first place. Many gamblers are like this, where they are blinded by their momentary winnings, and use the money on consumer things that they don't need, but because they are blind and don't have long-term thinking, in the end they just use the money as they please and don't think that the money will run out, because the most important thing is how they can satisfy their lust. That is a completely irresponsible person and such people usually will not learn from their experiences.

That is what confuses me the most about the situation narrated by that person, they won a lot of money but instead of investing it or even spending it in stuff they really wanted or needed, they just bought whatever they could, and once they lost everything they realized their mistake, but how is it possible they can be so blind? After all, even if we were to recognize they are addicted to gambling, such behavior cannot be explained away with just that, so it seems to me they have several other underlying issues, which could make it a lot harder to ever recover from their gambling addiction.

Therefore, you should always be able to write down your expenses on paper or in excel. It is necessary to know all your expenses and treat money very carefully. We can say that each of us in the present takes care of ourselves in the future. And you need to love yourself, the one that you will become later. You can't live in the present, and it's very important to follow money management. That's why some people are rich: they take care of the future, being careful about spending in the present.

If we have a relationship of brotherhood or friendship, perhaps giving advice is a way for us to love them, but if the advice continues to be ignored then it is not a problem because at least we are willing to remind them. They have chosen their own path to be involved or not in gambling and they also have views on how gambling can have a bad impact when they are not able to control it.

Likewise, when managing money in gambling, it is even difficult for them to control themselves to spend what they need so that the money they get from winnings is wasted on unimportant needs. Generally that's how gamblers spend money and they have absolutely no planning for spending money.

         -    I also agree with what you mentioned. It's really easy to spend the money won on the things we love, but the money won in the casino is not easy to get because usually in the casino, when a gambler plays, he always loses in the end.

Everyone has their own views on how we should be involved in gambling and when they lose control when gambling, they will end up having a much worse impact. It is not easy to win when we gamble and maybe we will lose a lot of money if we are not able to be responsible when involved in it.

Regret always comes too late and anyone will regret it after being faced with the problem. Don't gamble using borrowed money because it will be much riskier than using your own money, so be careful when you want to gamble at any casino.

To this I will add that people in general have a completely flawed image of those that are rich, in their minds the rich are people that squander money without a caring on the world, but the opposite is the truth, while they do spend money in luxuries most of us cannot get, in my experience rich people are some of the most cheap persons I know and they try to save money on everything and keep track of their expenses like no other, so if we want to some day own even a fraction of their wealth, we need to imitate them and keep a close eye on our expenses.

That's the problem that's hard to remove when you become addicted in gambling, if you're the type that keeps on moving forward and you just can't let yourself stop when you have nothing.

So, you resort to the choice of borrowing money just so that you can gamble and lose more.

And to the guy involved in the story that OP shared, he got some things, he got money before and that's a personal attitude towards holding money. One has to practice how to be good in managing it when you've got it on your hands.

That person is definitely a degenerate gambler, I don't think that he's addicted to buying stuff that he don't needs though, it's more like he doesn't really know how to use the money wisely, it's natural though since gambling addicts are financially irresponsible so it's not surprising that they're doing this just so they can satisfy those temporary cravings and gratifications. I must say though, I think that this person needs to be looking on the bright side of things, he helped his mom and donated to some charity and those stuff that he's bought, he can probably sell it to a profit. The best that this person can do is probably seek professional help because basing from the post, my conclusion is that this man is a gambling addict through and through and no way that you can live your life struggling with that addiction if you know that those activities are self-destructive to you as a person.

[MainIbem]

 This is an example of someone who luck smiled on but he decided to spend the money recklessly. One thing about people like this is that they will always think luck would come very often or always be on their side but no, it does not work that way and too bad he has learnt the hard way. Gambling luck occurs to very few people daily, sometimes it may give one a fortune and if the person is not very wise enough they might still end up losing everything to gambling and before they know it, it has become very late for them to realise they are doing the wrong thing. He's not only a reckless spender but he is greedy as well else he would have take profit and leave when he had he opportunity to. This should serve as a lesson to him, next time instead of buying items he does not really need he will  use the money establish a good business or invest in assets that could yield him better profits in future. Gambling is meant for fun and entertainment but he is an example of people who made huge profits through it, if only he spent the money wisely.

The line between greed and addiction is almost same but then when we talk about gambling addiction, it has a wider conceptual meaning and that separates it from greed driven partially, most of the times, those gambling addicts can spend axcess money without their knowledge so if they are greedy they won't be spending such an amount without cautions.


But at the bottom of it all is that gambling addictions have alot of negative impact on the individual regardless of they greed level, that is why we need to do everything possible to stay free from getting into addiction in the first place.

There is no question that the person is a degenerate gambler and at the same time the person is addicted to gambling. Now the person might have good luck so the person is able to handle everything but when the person has bad timing then the person would have nothing to do.

Again, alot of money can be made through gambling if one is lucky, but it also can destroy the person if he or she does not, or fail to control him or herself..
Anyways, lets discuss about this, feel free to put your comments below.

In gambling, we are fully attached to our winnings and always remember them whenever we are betting hoping that we can duplicate or even exceed our biggest winnings, and we tend to forget our worst and biggest losses, that's what happens to that guy he is not chasing his losses he is trying to duplicate or exceed his winnings.

Unfortunately for him, it's not his lucky day ever, he is still good he still had that 40% from that 89k winnings, the guy is addicted to gambling and he needs help before in his session he experiences losing everything and becomes deeply depressed, he needs guidance so he can recover from this addiction.

That is a completely irresponsible person and such people usually will not learn from their experiences.

Of course, greed in gambling will be very detrimental to ourselves as a result of greed in gambling and we will also spend a lot of money that we use for gambling, even when we have won the bet, we continue to bet on what we are playing so that we lose and lose all the winnings. that we have got, when gamblers cannot use the money from their winnings properly of course they will really regret it when the money they get from gambling has run out and it will be very rare for those who gamble to be able to manage the winnings they have gotten and more Many of them continue to use their winnings to have fun.

People aren't completely wrong, but it is just that they consider the wrong people for their thoughts. They think all the rich spend money without keeping a count or something, but this is only the case with some people, especially the ones who aren't directly earning the money they have access to, for example, if a father is a millionaire or a billionaire, the son wouldn't care about anything, he will spend money here and there and won't even keep a count about it.

However, the father who is earning the money or have worked hard to reach where he is today will always be concerned and will keep a track of where the money is going and how much is being spent and it is important for someone to stay aware about their finances because it is a part of being financially literate.

[Nrcewker]

This is nothing but pure madness and addiction. This is the pure example of gambling addiction and desire. He kept on buying the things which cannot by used by him. He is behaving like a rich brat due to this and continuously betting although not winning much from it. These type of addiction will be stopped when he won’t have more money to gamble. People just need to avoid this type of people and never get influenced by this.

[coin-investor]

Again, alot of money can be made through gambling if one is lucky,

If you're lucky but luck is not something that comes to you most of the time it's rare and before it comes we already lose a lot of money chasing that luck so we can make a lot of money and luck comes in an unexpected times and circumstances, so don't play money that you can't afford to lose thinking that the next session luck will be on your side.

but it also can destroy the person if he or she does not, or fail to control him or herself..
Anyways, lets discuss about this, feel free to put your comments below.

Too much of anything can destroy and when it comes to gambling you will be devastated because you can lose all your material possessions, your mind, and your relationship leaving nothing and always it's too late to regret and blame gambling, it's better for a gambler to check his behavior.

[0t3p0t]

For me that guys is greedy that is why he lost it all. He does not put any limits on his bets and he also is thinking of something that might work but unfortunately it doesn't. Superstitious belief won't work in gambling so if you think God wull help us with our gambling activity we're totally wrong because it was all about luck. That is why it is advisable to just only use extra money so it won't hurt that much if we are having misfortune in gambling. But atleast that guy just donated something to charity. 😅

[aioc]

What exactly do you think we call this type of gambler? For he is not only addicted to gambling, but he seem to be also addicted to buying stuffs he obviously does not need, and absolutely not interested in..

This is a risky behavior, the individual does not care about money, and he will soon regret it and realize  that it is important to save money when he badly needs money and doesn't know where to get it because he is an extravagant buyer

Again, alot of money can be made through gambling if one is lucky, but it also can destroy the person if he or she does not, or fail to control him or herself..

Control and moderation are everything in whatever you do and there's much more in gambling those who gained a lot when they were new to gambling are the likely people who now cannot control their addiction because they tasted how it's like to win a lot of money.
