Will You Make Yourself As An Example Or Ashame To Expose Yourself

[aioc]

You're an experienced gambler, having gambled for many years and having seen and done everything. Part of your experience is taking a loan and chasing losses. What if one of the young new gamblers who happens to be close to you is planning to take a loan?

Will you open up and give yourself as an example of someone who takes a loan, chases losses, and eventually loses everything, or prefer not to because you are ashamed to look back at your bad experience, and people think that you are a weak person?

If you ask me, I will be honest and give myself as an example so that people will believe that it's a bad idea to take a loan, it's not a sign of weakness if you admit your past mistakes.

How about you? How do you see yourself?

I have no problem opening up if you intend to save these people from what you've experienced, so it's not a sign of weakness. The best and strongest gamblers are those who learned from their past mistakes, mended their ways, and can give advice and offer assistance to new gamblers so they will not experience the worst in gambling like what you've experienced.
If you're honest with yourself, people will easily trust you and treat you as a real person.

I will do it if the person involved is someone important to me. There’s nothing to be ashamed if you already get over to that bad experience in the past if you will help others to avoid that same path.

I rarely talk about gambling with my close friends even if they are discussing it  when we are hanging out because they knew I’m not involved in gambling but I sometimes I can’t stop sharing info on the risk involved of gambling they are planning to do some some risky bet.

If you have a chance to make your experience useful then go for it.

I’m a gambler, I actually encourage people to take risks, lol.

Honestly, I don’t think gamblers are the type who give advice on what not to do. Especially when it comes to loans, some of us have probably taken loans just to gamble. And for me, it’s not really bad as long as you’re responsible enough to understand it’s a real responsibility. If you can pay it back, then it’s not really a problem.

Personally, I’m more of a shy type. That’s why I gamble alone most of the time, usually online, since I don’t want other people seeing me gamble. That’s also why I don’t really give advice to others, ’cause I’m not even that good myself and sometimes I still make the same mistakes.

I will not allow him follow my foot step. I will use my own experience as an example to him so that he can know the consequences that awaits him in the future if he doesn't listen to me. For anyone to tell you his plans, it means that he confide in you and is indirectly seeking for your own suggestion and advice on the matter.

A lot of people go astray because they don't have people to direct them when they are about following the wrong path. If I am opportune to direct someone on doing what I know is right, I would gladly do so.

Although I have never gambled with my loans so far, and I hope I never have to do so in the future.
Still, in answer to your question, I would say that different people may have different opinions here, but I certainly wouldn't prefer someone new to jump into a fire in front of me. And for this, I would definitely tell him that he should only gamble what he can afford to lose and should always stay away from taking loans, even if you don't gamble.  And if he gambles, I'll tell him to stay 100 yards away from borrowing. And I will show him my past as an example, and in addition to more difficult examples, such as many people who gambled with loans and later lost and committed suicide due to the instructions, I will also present these to him so that he does not gamble with loans.

[Fortify]

What sort of question is that - it's like saying would you pull someone out of the way of a speeding car? Of course any decent person would do it. If you have the opportunity to share your bad  experience you should, but for many gamblers it is likely to fall on deaf ears. Gambling to excess with your own money is already bad enough, but when you start borrowing money from others (that is quickly going to disappear with nothing to show for it) you enter a whole new type of hell. At that point you've spent everything and are now robbing from your future self, making it even harder to recover. The sad truth is though that even sharing such stories may often not be enough, because many people will only learn when they feel the sting directly.

It's not my case, but if it had happened to me, as you suggest, I don't think I would have done it unless it was someone very close to me. First, because I'm quite secretive about my gambling, so most people don't even know that I've been playing poker every day for over a decade. And second, and more importantly, because people don't usually learn until they get hit with the hammer themselves. It's like a little kid who you tell, “Don't touch that, you'll burn yourself, don't touch that, you'll burn yourself!” There's nothing more effective in getting them to stop than for them to touch it and burn himself.

Taking out a loan is bad and not recommended for any gambler.

Even if I had the same experience with loans, I would be open to it as long as it was a close friend, but I would not advise him to take out any loans for gambling.

That bad experience should not be used as an example for others because it will cause big problems if someone takes out a loan for gambling, but I will see how the new person gambles. Obviously, the advice has been given, but the rest is up to him to decide.

[Charles-Tim]

I do not need to give myself as an example before I will explain to him how taking a loan to gamble is a very bad idea. But If I am not taking loan to gamble anymore and gamble responsibly, I will make myself as an example not to try it if it led to a financial problem for me. But I do not see a reason to use myself as an example when it is very obvious that taking loan for gambling is part of money mismanagement.

[Hatchy]

How about you? How do you see yourself?

Aside from gambling, let say in real life. When you see someone heading towards a path in life that you know quite well that you have been through and wasn't worth it, you have to stop that person and give him a tangible reason why he shouldn't repeat same mistakes as you.

One thing is for sure, gambling is risky and anyone who choose to go into gambling should be ready to loss alot of money in the game. The money you want to loss, it's yours so you should by all means avoid taking a loan just so you can gamble. It's not something that has an ROI so you shouldn't make that mistake of thinking you would be able to make back the money in double and return the loaned amount...

[Furious 7]

If I were in such a situation, I would never feel ashamed to remind others not to repeat my mistakes, especially those who are new to gambling, because we already know how painful it is and we don't want others to experience the same thing.

This is especially true if that person is someone close to us, so that they don't follow in our footsteps. We know that in the end, for others, this may only be a suggestion, and we may also be viewed negatively when we admit that we are gamblers who have failed and cannot control ourselves, but that is still slightly better than allowing others to experience the same thing just because we don't dare to speak up, even though it could have a different impact on new gamblers so that they don't fall into such a vicious cycle. .

How about you? How do you see yourself?

If he/she is close to me, I wouldn't want him/her to make the same mistake that I have and therefore I wouldn't be embarrassed of what I've done, as long as I've overcome it. At some point in life we have made a lot of mistake and there's nothing to be ashamed of it (as long as it's only gambling) exposing yourself is a mature way and acceptance to yourself.

My humble advise to any newbie wanting to take loan all to gamble...
To those that cares and want to avoid regretting with their decisions on gambling, you don't need to be a red-handed victim but acknowledging that what has happened to others can probably happen to you or even worst if you take same decision.

I will be very honest to anyone who is at the position for me to talk to about their wrong decisions and if it is what I have personally been experienced, I will say it to them and as well tell them the consequences which I went through which has been flaws to my personalities and as well a move that is potential to ruin my finances with the public awareness that I am a debtor because of gambling.

Letting them know your shameful and regrettable experiences after taken the loan and made you a debtor can make them have a change of mind and stay off from such ugly experiences.

At some point in life we have made a lot of mistake and there's nothing to be ashamed of it (as long as it's only gambling) exposing yourself is a mature way and acceptance to yourself.

But you nailed it with your first sentence: if he/she's close to me.

I consider myself the kind of guy that will sacrifice himself for the right cause, but it must be undoubtedly right, because you might do something with the best of intentions, which ends up shooting you back.

So yes, I would put myself in evidence if a relative or very close friend needed my guidance, to avoid a greater evil, but I wouldn't do it for just anyone.

[Salahmu]

Of course I will open up to the person because if I cannot advise him of the danger ahead then what is the need for the friendship, I will not only open up to the person I called my friend but anybody even the person I have not met before because for the fact that I was in such place were my opinion from that experience has a need to be voice out then sure there is nothing there, actually is not everything somebody needs to hold either because of how they would be looked unresponsible or shame because you could help someone who is about to make the same mistake and perhaps this could even helped the person from healing after all they had gone through because there is always a pleasant feeling of helping others.

[YOSHIE]

How about you? How do you see yourself?

I do not believe if people do not know the risk of gambling, I do not believe if people do not have the purpose of gambling, even though there are those who say that having fun is only language decoration, well from that we understand the purpose of ourselves gambling.

If those who understand the risk of gambling, of course they will not want to borrow money to be used in gambling, it is clear if they think gambling risk and borrowing is also risky, meaning they are the same as killing themselves.

Be ourselves and do not need to be ashamed we gamble with our own money and in small amounts, in that way we have no risk, for what we are ashamed to expose ourselves as it is, What is clear is that someone lives without problems with others is better, even though someone only does gambling activities every day.

[bitbollo]

if you take loans and you gamble.... no you are not someone to be used as guide for gambling. you haven't nothing to teach other than your mistakes and how to avoid these.
that's the only thing that could used as lesson. it's not so hard get in danger while gambling or just get in heavy debts.
loans for this reason must be always a NO. There is no reason for risking much more of what you can afford to lose.
If an event as already a certain outcome - likewise there is a real safe bet - this event couldn't be played in any case!

Anyone with a social conscience would do the same as you, because reminding others to think wisely is a duty toward others, especially your friends.

However, many people will ignore our reminders. We shouldn't be concerned with their skeptical responses to our concern, as our duty is to remind them to inform them. Beyond that, it's their right to react, whether to continue with their actions or not.

That Op, is literally the best thing to do in such a case, except you will be comfortable watching that new gambler make such a mistake and suffer for it.

even if i took a loan to chase losses and maybe eventually succeeded to recover my losses, and someone i know comes to seek for my advice, i could even tell you that i tried it and failed, and that the experience wasn't something anyone should experience, just to dissuade you from making such a mistke, considering the fact that it is a very risky action to take and not everyone can be as lucky as i was to actually recover their  losses.
