What will you do if you find yourself in a similar situation like this?

[Ultegra134]

Well, first things first, he has broken an important bond with his parents, they'll never ever trust him again, especially with anything that involves money. My first option in this case would be to work my ass off and recoup every single penny back. I believe it goes without saying that I'd stop any gambling activities, promise to never ever let myself go again, and even consider asking for assistance from a professional. Someone who recklessly gambles away all their parent's savings isn't in their rights mind, they're addicted.

[Zoomic]

So, ladies and gents,

Here is a dude who parents trusted well enough to save their money in his bank account, that is, father of this dude (according to the dude) saved all his money on his son's (the dude) bank account, the dude went ahead to start doing sports betting with the money, and like this like this normally turns out most of the time, he eventually lost all the money the father saved with him without the parents knowing.

Later on, the parents found out and became very angry with him, he is thinking of how to handle the situation but doesn't know exactly what to do,
And let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?


Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

I cannot imagine finding myself in such a situation because I will be very careful not to play bets with money entrusted into my care. Sometimes I wonder where some persons get their confidence from to think that they are going to gamble and win unfailingly. They cannot say they are not aware that gambling is a 50/50 game but they still choose to take the risks anyway.

In this case, it is quite easy for the parents to forgive and let go since it is their son involved,  but one thing is certain, trust has been broken already whether the money is recovered or not and no parent will be a fool again to entrust money into his hands. I just hope he learns his lessons and gamble more responsibly else he will find himself in more messy situations.

That's the first way to stop further losses and that is to stop. Next, before you think working your ass off for you to pay off and cover the losses you did.

If you're brave enough, I think it's best to let your parents know what have you done. Admitting that you've gambled with money, no matter what happens, you've admitted your fault.

It's actually the first step into renewing your mind and they'd know that you need some help. Some may not agree to that but parents know what's best for us.

[Odusko]

First let us know what his aims are and what the money kept by the parents is main for, answering this two vital questions will help to lead us to a point where we can easily develope what the parents reaction will be when and if they ever get to hear this story, reason is that possibility is there for the guy to make that money in the near time and there by replacing back for the parents without them even getting to here the story.
But he should avoid ever taking such risk as to gamble with money that he can not afford to lose because for him to have used his parents savings means he is gradually becoming irresponsible and being inresponsible in gambling mean alot.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

People go through alot of awful things, just because they decided to dedicate their lives, wealth, insurance and properties into gambling..
Secondly, the worst thing would be breaking the family Trust; it's even more easy to regain your self - after several remorse from the effects of gambling - but it's worse when you betray people due to your lack of selfcontrol.
I can't assume myself in that position. In life, there are things you should learn to either AVOID or ADOPT. I wouldn't choose to gamble away my savings, talk more of the family fund.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

There are situations in which you already knows that you cannot be in such mess because you know how to gamble responsibly, in the sense that such will not affect you or the people around you by the way you do, those that cannot mange the little left in their disposal should not be given the opportunity to hodl plenty and later use them for something else, because this kind of people are the ones that will not be able to regulate or control the way they are gambling, all they do is to go reckless about how they gambles.

[DabsPoorVersion]

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

Only thinking about it makes me sad, thinking the trust and the money my parents have worked hard, it's not something that can be easily fix. Especially the trust , it's one of the hardest to build if you lost it.

If I find myself in this situation, working hard to return the money would be my priority. Even knowing that this won't bring their trust back, it's still the right thing to do. The next thing I should prioritize is to atone for what happened. This includes changing hoobies, considering gambling as off-limits, and be a better person.

[Rabata]

I don't know how much money the father gave to his son exactly, but since it is said that he was given all his money in his life, it will very difficult for him to recover the money. Because if you lose a lot of money particularly life saving assets, no one will lend you that money. Which is really hard to recover. To those who are willing to do such things or gamble, use an amount that you have no problem in gambling, otherwise our life may be wasted. If I had made such a mistake, I would have shared my mistake with my parents. Even if they are angry with me for a while, they will forgive me for telling the truth. But if I do this kind of work then they may not believe me. Especially if the amount is high.

[Riginac111]

For me I will it disowned that child because the child is not meant to be useful and successful for him motor respect the father and they serve the father's money that the father entrusted in him, so you could not have the fear and he used the money to gamble I think that is the beginning of his downfall because what he did is something that will affect the entire family so I believe that we don't need to associate ourselves in such a thing but I will forgive the person but God will take control of everything that happened because anything that happened is based on God

[lienfaye]

And let's say he somehow manages to replace the money, either by means of borrowing or working menial jobs to raise the money, will his parents ever trust him again to save large sum of money with him?

He did a stupid mistake so probably his parents won't trust him again. But of course it can still change once he proved that he is not into gambling anymore and responsible enough by earning money on his own.

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?

I will repay the money by working hard. It's a process to get their trust again thus it will take time. I will stand on my own, not relying on them and prove that I am worthy to be trusted again especially i'm their child.

[Ojinga]

It's something to be ashamed of, one you didn't use the money on a legitimate way that's one thing that'll make them get angry more and never trust you again or thinking of saving a dem in your hand. At this point what you should do it's to take a loan and pay your father back.

Then after paying your father you can find a menial job to pay back the loan you took. For me that would be the only way out, after settling your parents don't ever think of their trust towards you again cause you killed it all.

The first place that I'll blame you much is that you know gambling it's a game of risk, you stake the first day you lose not releasing that the money it's not your's. But you continued betting you stake the next day and you continue losing thinking you might add more to the money lol.

Besides no one knows the purpose of the money why his father was saving the money for, you don't actually know if it's to tast him if his son can actually be trusted when it comes to saving or their was a purpose why his father decided to save the money to him, so that his wife won't know if his saving such kind of amount of money.

I do have a friend whose father have a lot of investment, then his father decided to do some savings with his first son and this boy was in highschool. Everyday the sum of $1000 in his bank account his father knows what he was doing, his trying to check if his son is capable to stand when his not longer strong enough.

But my friend was busy carrying girls and gamble always not knowing the purpose why his father decided to make such decision of saving money to his bank account.

At the end his father called him and said to him to come so that they can make account of the money that he have received so far. He went there their family accountant was there waiting all of sudden their was no money left in his account, that's where the trust and the Fatherly love ended because he wasn't thinking by than.

But I won't blame this mistakes that they made, do you know money can control you if you haven't learned how to handle it. Mostly when you're still young, so the father should've known how money works and first watch the lifestyle of your son before thinking of saving such amount of money to him.

When it comes to money it's something even if you've seen money or you have being saving money, their is huge amount of money that you'll surely misbehave the worst part of it. It's when gambling habits is in you and you're not aware of it by the time you receive such amount of money then you'll know how gambling habits works.

Where are you getting all these stories from lol, these are insane!

On another note though, it's just a fucking rookie mistake that newbies shouldn't really do. We keep telling these new folks, Do not gamble with money that they can't afford to lose, and do not gamble with money that isn't theirs to use, more so take out a loan too just so they can facilitate their gambling indulgences, pretty stupid thing to do if you'll ask me. When gambling, the first thing that you have to take into account is making sure that the money you'll be playing with is money that you can lose and you'd still be okay with.

To all the kids in here, DO NOT GAMBLE at all, your brains are not that formed well enough for you to really fathom the repercussions of losing a huge amount of money, so just stay away from it. For young adults who are legally able to get into casinos already, just make sure you're not gambling from your dad's pockets or whatever, be more responsible, be smarter and don't go out spending out money that was not yours in the first place. Do not be like this guy.

Looking at the context, the player may have gradually wagered a huge some of his father's money, for him to have taken it to an online platform for help. Sometimes it's fair to hold our money ourselves. Though his dad trusted him for some reasons to entrust money on him, could be that his son was cool headed in the past, but have changed a lot recently without his father's consent. This is some of the challenges gambling could cause to the family.

Telling his dad would be the best choice, although he'd be ashamed of himself or worried of getting disowned according to the amount of money sent to his account. No need trying to replenish the money as it could cause him more losses. From the look of things he thought the money can be replenish by gambling more of it, but to his surprise all the funds got exhausted. Nothing will be better than sharing the truth with his dad. If the man is hypertensive or sick he can find a better way of passing across the message instead of lying to him, so that it won't affect his health.

Well, I'm not old enough for that to happen to me. I think it's a mistake to keep money in the account of someone other than yourself, whether it's your wife, child or parent. 99% of the time nothing will happen, but cases like this are a drama.

Where are you getting all these stories from lol, these are insane!

On the one hand, I don't like these stories because they can give the image that all of us who gamble are degenerate gamblers as in these cases, but on the other hand, degenerate gamblers are capable of evaporating real fortunes in record time.

[hyudien]

When he does gambling, there is a big possibility that he can become addicted to gambling, and if he is addicted to gambling then he can become addicted, after addiction of course he will not be able to easily get out of gambling even if he runs out of money to gamble but with a feeling that he is addicted to gambling he can take dangerous actions that are detrimental to himself, of course, maybe even other people such as family, actions that might be done are by stealing his family's money, or using money that is not his own. Because when someone is addicted to gambling, changes in thinking and attitude can occur quickly.
If I had a relative or friend who did such things as stealing other people's money for the purpose of gambling, maybe if it was only once it would not be too much of a problem, advising him is the solution. However, when he is not deterred by his actions, maybe I myself will take issue with it and cannot forgive him. Because apart from harming myself, it is clear that it harms other people.

[famososMuertos]

I'm going to spend my shitpots for the week on this thread, which is already over 5 pages long.
The problem here is not taking money from your parents' savings, that is the eternal novel of "Guadalupe."  It is not doing it well, point.

These stories would be better if you know the betting amounts, which teams they bet on, what their frequency was, were they ever positive, etc. You know!

These are the data that interest us, the rest of the data is irrelevant, this is not a storyboard of life.

The 'rudeness' of the stories does not change the sick, spoiled, irresponsible, etc. individuals.

Gambling is assuming responsibility, it is not about forgiving.

[darkangel11]

The way I see it many people are degenerates, period. They can be gamblers, or not, it doesn't matter. I know many such degenerates. I have drug addict for a neighbor who lives with his father and steals his money, demolishes the house when he can't get high... It's much worse than being a gambling addict. If it was about gambling he'd do the same.
I also know a guy who's alcoholic. He spends all his money on alcohol, then finds out he needs other stuff like electricity, food, so he steals that. He'll live in the basement to stay warm, but will always have money for a bottle.
The way to teach these idiots real life and responsibility is to send them to the army and make them wake up early every day and train, so they don't have time to think about getting drunk.

He went too far to using funds that isn't his to gamble, but I'm not surprised, that's what's associated with addiction. He's broken the trust of his parents already and to handle this situation now, he has to quit gambling first, and go apologize to his parents, that's if the damage caused is limited to his parents being angry only because such actions causes health issues for these older folks. His remorse for his actions should include dissociating himself with the cause of his problem. He should also take responsibility of replacing the money he misused, I think it will make him more sensible.

He should try to live a better life and make more responsible decisions going forward. Also get his mind occupied with taking up a skill or  paid job to reduce his idle moments so he doesn't entertain wild thoughts that might lure him back into gambling for now. He shouldn't expect his parents to trust him again like before. That kind of trust hardly comes by again when broken already. He should forgive himself first, accept his present and work on having a better future. He's made a mistake and he's got to correct it.

[Zanab247]

Parents always forgive their sons and daughters. Only a few parents will not forgive their kids, but most of the time they will forgive, trusting the money may be another issue. He has to gain the trust and will take a long time.

Eventually, this kid will learn as he has been regretting the entire time, writing his post about his situation. Give it time, his parents will even entrust all their assets for him to take care of. 

But when the offenses is getting too much, it will make their parent not to forgive than to withdraw their trust from the sons and daughters because no parent that want to have a children who are addicted to gambling in the society because it will make people to disrespect the family.

If the children are above 20 years of age, I will know that they are telling me that they are mature to separate from the family to be on their own to start building their own family, and nothing will make such children to see my money to gamble.

One thing that will make their parents to know that the child has changed, is to see him not going to gambling center to bet games, before they will begin to trust the child as usual again.

Very well said because when you gamble responsibly you won't find yourself in such situations that you waste away money that is not yours in trying to recover from your previous loses, or being so overly greedy and not paying attention to self control and responsibilities.


I am sure the gambler in this story is already sliding into addictions already if not even worst stage of addictions, because every responsible gambler's knows that gambling is just for fun and not money making means.
