Gambling is a fatal mistake

[memehunter]

Gambling is a mind game,if you don't have the mind to lose money in the search of money,then you just have to step aside.Its not everybody's thing.Its meant for those who have already determined,that nomatter what it takes them,they would still gamble.They are people who wants to make money and maybe use it for something big.Nowadays, people feel those that engage in gambling are those who have decided that their future isn't important to them.
Gambling is something that is bad to some people,while it's good to some People,those that win Everytime cannot say it is a fatal thing to do,while those who lose Everytime won't advice anybody to ba a part of it.

You're right, gambling can be a mental challenge. It's important to be prepared for losses and have clear limits.  It's not a guaranteed path to riches, and some people enjoy the competition and excitement more than the potential winnings.

In this way, quarrels between the two gradually arise and when it becomes known in the society, it is gradually known that he has played gambling. And he went somewhere far away from home after the fight till now there is no trace of him and he didn't try to contact him till now. So I shared this with you because of how dangerous gambling is in the eyes of families and society. What could be the biggest reason behind this person giving complete money loss?

It was greed over gambling that caused your friend to be ruined. If he manages his gambling well then it is impossible for him to run out of money. After all, your friend is a husband. It is really unnatural for him to forget his responsibilities at home, especially since he has children to care for. give him food, in this case he should be punished for forgetting his responsibilities. Whether that is true or not, it is reported that countries that legalize gambling have fewer gambling addicts than countries that prohibit gambling!!

Apart from being a mind game, gambling is one game that requires absolute discipline from anyone who really wants to engage in it in order to be successful. The reason why many people today believes that gambling is a fatal mistake that no well meaning individual should engage in it is because many of the people who gamble does end up as gambling addicts.

Gambling addicts is way out of the picture, not planning or wishing for anyone to be an addict because it become worse. Running at heavy losses is caused by the gambler because he becomes greedy with accumulate sum of profits earned and pushes further to make massive gains. I know it's not easy but there's more gamblers out there that aims to stack up enormous profits but doesn't follow the appropriate techniques and strategies, rather they easily succumb to paths that's not reliable and obtaining losses becomes necessary for them.

Maybe he wanted a bigger money for his family however he chose the wrong way to provide. First of all he already have a responsibility and that should be prioritized. It is also wrong to depend on gambling money and fortune simply because there's no assurance with the outcome. This is why I firmly believe that gambling should just be a form of entertainment than a good source of income. You could win sometimes indeed. There are really people who manage to win in an efficient manner that gambling seems to be their main source of income however, we have different fate. It won't automatically happen to us just because we wanted to.

I did consider that guy to be having a good intention rather than addiction however, given the outcome, he's wrong in any aspect actually. Regrets always come last and there's nothing he could do about it.

Your brother is just an irresponsible gambler based on your story as he literally use all his hard earned money given that he has a family to feed. I don't do that kind of thing because I already learned from my past mistakes in gambling. He mismanaged his gambling funds and what happened to him right now serves not only him but all of us a lesson to spend only few percentages if we really cannot resist avoiding gambling. We should always prioritize our family over gambling and any other vices.

whenever you are participating in gambling make sure that you have your plans at hand, because it's obvious and understanding that gambling is something you will do better, or gambling is something that involves advantages and disadvantages and you don't have full assurance of gambling, so therefore make sure you know how much you spend weekly or monthly in gambling, some of us doesn't know that gambling have to do with opportunity and when you're opportune is when you make well in gambling and when you don't have the opportunity you will not make well, so don't use whatever you have to gamble it's a bad idea

[Bitcoin_people]

Of course the person you mentioned is not a responsible gambler at all. He only thought about making a lot of money by gambling but he didn't think he would lose. Of course we must first accept that gambling is bound to incur losses but this person may have bet his entire salary without thinking about it. Anyway gambling may be that person from long time ago and he thought that by betting with money he will gain a lot of money but his plan did not succeed in any way instead he lost money. The reason behind this person is that he is a greedy person he has no spiritual knowledge due to which he gambled his entire salary from his job instead of spending it on family work. I think it is better to take care of family needs before gambling responsibly and gambling with small amount of money afterwards.

Actually I have an elder brother in gambling, he basically works in a private company. Received May salary on June 04/06/2024, he did not come home after receiving salary. Three sons one daughter and his wife live in his house, and he gambled all night and entered the house on the next day 05/06/2024 today morning after losing all the salary money. After entering the house, his wife asked him to go to market, he replied, I don't have money, wife said, you got salary, what did you do with the salary money? 
In this way, quarrels between the two gradually arise and when it becomes known in the society, it is gradually known that he has played gambling. And he went somewhere far away from home after the fight till now there is no trace of him and he didn't try to contact him till now. So I shared this with you because of how dangerous gambling is in the eyes of families and society. What could be the biggest reason behind this person giving complete money loss?

From the story you tell, it is clear that your older brother gambles irresponsibly, he is addicted to gambling so he cannot think about his wife and children after getting a salary, the salary should be for household needs but instead he goes to a gambling place. I assume your brother needs a lot of money for necessities or other things, so he wants to gamble with the salary he receives in the hope that his salary can double, but unfortunately when he arrives at the gambling place, he experiences a defeat which causes him to lose his entire salary. This is all because of ambition that is too big without thinking about the risks.

I'm sure stories like your sister's often happen to other people who have fallen into the same addiction that has led to broken homes and even the saddest thing is divorce because of gambling. Those of you who already have a good understanding of gambling must immediately advise your brother or at least be able to provide guidance so that he can get rid of his addiction or dependence on gambling. Gambling is fine as long as he can manage his finances, or at least he can separate money for household needs and money for gambling.

I think what happened to OP's brother was that he was hypnotized by gambling where he dared to take big risky actions such as risking all the money he had and it was normal for arguments to occur between him and his partner because he should have paid attention and thought about the fate of his family first compared to what they had. want, like gambling, which can indeed make you happy, but only for a short time, because the joy of gambling is winning and winning doesn't happen often. with OP's brother who dared to take a big risky action, of course they are already in a vicious circle where it will be difficult for them to come to their senses and stop gambling to secure their money, but because he was trapped, he did such a big risky act which is detrimental to himself. and harm other people around him.
It's true, everything that is done appropriately will not cause serious problems, with him possibly getting into an argument, that is one of the bad effects of gambling because he has done it excessively. Someone who is addicted to gambling can certainly experience mental health destruction, because a loss that they cannot accept will put too much pressure on them so that they themselves cannot fix it and this is an opportunity for them to become stressed.

I don't think hypnotized is the right word here, and excuse me for my choice of words. Someone who goes to such great lengths to gamble is a mindless idiot. I understand that you can get carried away; we're humans. You lose a few bets, the fury is slowly starting to build up, and you make some more bets, losing more money in the process. That's a process we've all encountered sometime during our gambling sessions. Getting that much carried away and betting a whole month's salary without taking into account that you won't have any money to spend the rest of the month is purely irresponsible and negligent towards his family.

It's not the right word, but what I mean is that he was influenced by gambling or was carried away by the gambling atmosphere deeper, so that he couldn't stop gambling when he experienced a losing streak, he stopped after all the money he had was completely gone. Indeed, those who have been carried away by the gambling atmosphere may be because they are emotional about gambling so that when they experience a loss, what they do is return to betting, perhaps even more aggressively, as you said, by making several more bets and losing more money in the gambling session. because the result that is certain to happen is defeat and losing money.
It is true that spending all the money from work just on gambling is an irresponsible action, because by spending all the money from work on gambling, of course the family's needs are not taken into account, which should be paid attention to by meeting their needs every day with the salary earned from work, but instead it is spent on just gamble, this may happen to those who do not have good control in gambling so they can take actions that carry big risks.

Gambling is never a  fatal mistake, its nobody's fault that you're both greedy and lacks discipline. Besides gambling, if you're that lose, you'll still be scammed in normal day's proceedings owing to your greed and lack of discipline. so its an attitude issue and not just blaming the fun activity.

The main issue with people is that they fail to take responsibility of their actions and shortcomings, every mistake you've made in life is as a result of your shortcomings and consenting the wrong things. You're the cause, gambling must've aided you because you made the decision to get involved without your basin intact,  you're not emotionally strong to control yourself and most importantly, you never had a gambling budget.

If he used to gamble online, he would have stopped gambling after the balance was exhausted. But he gambled offline for real, he took loans from unique people even after his balance was exhausted and he gambled all night to recover his salary. Such words are heard during quarrels, the gambler mentioned such things at one stage. 

But later he faced only losses due to which he finally exhausted all the funds and borrowed funds and he stopped gambling and came home. So how he became so addicted is the most important consequence to me.

I don't know how people still missed out on that part, it's already obvious that this person is addicted to gambling so what gives that they missed out? There's bound to be a reason why they've missed out on the early symptoms of this person becoming addicted, pretty sure that when things are going to happen in a household, the family would know right? That's not the main thought of this person, he's already addicted so I'm pretty sure that there's something more sinister behind the need for money like just wanting the thrill of gambling and how fun doing all of the risks that are involved in gambling, that part where the addict used the salary from his day job as a fund for gambling says it all, because if getting the money back is still the root of the obsessive gambling, wouldn't he just have borrowed money again and that his focus was on providing for his family through that salary?

I am fine with the countries that implement the law regarding gambling online or not specifically for children or minors; it is prohibited. Now, in the story op mentioned, his older brother is not in a normal mind because instead of apologizing to his wife for not fulfilling his responsibility properly, the number one thing that affected his own family.

When that happens, relatives or his own family should be guiding him so that it doesn't actually lead to a bigger problem. It's not normal for a husband to be angry with his wife when
he is really the one to blame.

A gambler cannot become addicted to gambling all of a sudden, he becomes addicted by participating in gambling for a long time. Because you notice he suddenly lost all the money and he participated again and again to win, thus he became addicted and he was busy creating money crisis. The fear of losing money has worked within him causing him to repeatedly participate to bring his money back, his strategy has failed him which ultimately led to dire consequences. 
And after losing all the money at the last minute, he returned home empty-handed and forced to go into hiding as he could not find a place in the last house. Think then that the addict is a threat to everyone, especially to the family and society at large.

Gambling addicts is way out of the picture, not planning or wishing for anyone to be an addict because it become worse. Running at heavy losses is caused by the gambler because he becomes greedy with accumulate sum of profits earned and pushes further to make massive gains. I know it's not easy but there's more gamblers out there that aims to stack up enormous profits but doesn't follow the appropriate techniques and strategies, rather they easily succumb to paths that's not reliable and obtaining losses becomes necessary for them.

More gamblers are becoming an addict because they are only after the gains that they can get from gambling. They do not think before they gamble because they are only move by the desire to make profits therefore they are always the target of gambling disorder. Gambling can only be a fatal mistake when you do not gamble in a responsible manner, if you gamble like you can never get affected by gambling addiction, you are going to be the next gambler that is going to become an addict. I have seen people that were winning in gambling and did not have any challenges but after some losses that they had because they were not careful, their whole story changed as they started losing anytime that they gamble. They had only few win and this affected them to the extent of becoming an addict.

[Mrbluntzy]

@FinePoine0, gambling is a fatal mistake to gamblers that wants it to be a mistake in their life and family affairs. To some people or some gamblers, gambling have made them because wealthier than they ever imagined while some people have also used gambling to cure their bored moment and their depression but some people also used gambling to cause depression for themselves. Don't classify gambling as a fatal mistake for every gambler because it is not every gambler nation wide that are addicted gambler and not all gamblers can display this kind of attitude you just discussed in this topic.

Can you now blame gambling for this? I bet not, you would be very mistaken if you did. Am I not gambling? Are others not gambling whom you will not even know they do if they never told you? What I see here is individual irresponsibility, desperation, recklessness and greed, it is your elder brother who needs to keep his sh*t together and you should stop blaming gambling. If he is responsible enough, wouldn't he have earmarked the money for himself and the family aside from the money he would gamble with?

Let us stop celebrating weakness and idiocy, and find something to put the blame upon. It is gambling this time in this context, for some people, it is women and frivolities, and to some others, it is drinking and drugs, etc. All these are by choice my friend and they tell of whom we are. Some people would do something at times that you will be wondering within you whether they are completely insane, that's how I view this. What we can't learn to control will control us and also define us, so this is not peculiar to gambling, it is what your brother is.

You guys should try your best to deliver him of this mess, I hope he will cooperate.

Well everyone is off their own believe about gambling so you are free to say whatever we like but I do have my own strong notion about the habit though and I believe people who are of the opinion that they can make lots of cash or money from gambling are more than the ones who feel they can take it as some kind of entertainment or enjoyment as I believe even the ones who want to take it as form of entertainment too still needs to win for them to be entertained, I mean no one loses and Calls it fun or am I wrong on this ?.

That's true, for those who continue to gamble, of course they will experience an addiction to gambling, of course this will be very difficult for us if we don't limit our gambling activities and there will also be many bad impacts that we will experience if we continue to carry out gambling activities without control, so It is important for us to be able to limit ourselves from gambling continuously so that we do not experience bad impacts on us and the environment around us.

You're right, gambling can be a mental challenge. It's important to be prepared for losses and have clear limits.  It's not a guaranteed path to riches, and some people enjoy the competition and excitement more than the potential winnings.

Gamblers do not think in this way. They gamble because they think it is a quick rich sort of scheme. The new gamblers think it is a paradise to make money as they have been listening to the success stories on social media. They come to gamble with high hopes to making money but their dream is shattered sooner or later, why do they face the harsh reality that loss is just as easy to get in gambling as winning, rather they realise soon that losing is more common in gambling than winning.

Think about betting, as when you win, you may get odds like 1.3 or 1.5 etc (example only) or any any odd under 2 is not double your money but when you lose, even if the odds were 1.1, you will lose the whole bet amount. If you are not have some plan and calculation's, you will soon end up your portfolio even if you win some bets and lose some bets. A very few gamblers know how to tackle the risk in gambling.
