Gambling debt consumes life!

[uneng]

As gambling gets more popular, stories like that also become more frequent. The problem is that in most of our countries, we went from a total ban against gambling to a sudden bombard of gambling online services. People weren't prepared for that and didn't have educational backgrounds for that.

At same time, no one was concerned to introduce gambling in the right way to the masses. The government is unable to make an effective educational advertisement to enlight gamblers about the risks involved and how the games work. Social influencers just seek profit, probably without knowing anything about gambling as well.

Now there are movements in society using such stories of tragedy to try pushing a ban once again towards gambling.

These are very regrettable things. Everyone has their own burdens and experiences things as they see fit, but the family should have told him what they thought, but not to the point of almost killing him. The damage was already done. The solution was to find the money and then make him pay, whether through hard work or other means, but to make him pay. Now the debt would pass to the family. The solution isn't death, because the problem is just transferred.

I just keep wondering why some people would think the best option to dealing with matters that pertains to debt is suicide, when in reality it never really solves anything, in fact what it actually does is make things more worse and complicated than it already is, this is because the family left behind would have to deal with both the irreversible loss of a dear one and also having to pay up the debt because the creditor isn’t going to just let go off the money simply because the debtor chose to take his life.

Never gamble with life changing money.

He didn't bet the $17k on a single bet it's the accumulating of his loans he collected from different people to play casino, that's why I said we should not be silent to speak about gambling addiction, it has destroyed many people lifes, many are in prison today, some are dead because of gambling addiction.  The family didn't look at on him, they were just too careless to know what he does with money, maybe his from a wealthy family and they don't care how he spent the money he have collecting from them.

This is lesson to everyone here that's taking loans to gamble, you will regret it or cause everlasting pains to yourself if you don't desist from it, and when your have gone like the boy in this story your family will still be the one to pay for the loans, it's unfortunate situation.

Sometimes you can’t actually blame some people who end up taking their lives due to debt because we really do not know what went on behind the scene before he resorted to such action. We can’t just assume the made the decision without the notice of their families. Some of those victims took such decisions simply because of the reactions of their families and how they chose to handle such incidents. It could be that the family may have abandoned him to carry his cross alone, and since he has no way to tackle the situation, he decided to end it all. There are people like that and the truth is that, even though it was their fault they found themselves in such predicament, they’re really not to be blamed.

Gambling addiction does not only affect the gamblers it also affects people around them negatively, I am sure he must have win some of the game which he would have used some amount to clear up some of his debts but he was so addicted that he only thinks of gambling and greed kicks in that he wants to play to get so much money, and ended up losing all his money that he could not clear up his debts, this situation result from addiction and greed. Sorry to see he is responsible for what he was facing but the mental pressure was due to his loss, others only came to him to request for their money they lended him, and of course if you have lend someone money for sometime you will eventually request for a return, now he could not provide it, maybe he thought the only solution was to take his life. Let's gamble wisely.

Seriously gambling addiction not only affects those gambles, the first people it affects most is the family’s because what ever the condition his facing his family’s will be the first people to fall in the conditions. And that’s why it not good for responsible people to introduce themselves into the gambling, because when it come to affected it deal with all generations.

Most of the people join the gambling because they see that people earn huge amounts of money into gambling they unaware that gambling is involve of too much losing, the high the win the high lose that’s how the gambling goes but not everyone knows that; which is why a lots lose their money in gambling.

PSG is owned by a wealthy man the team has never lacked financial support from the owners and when they were hungry to win the champions League they signed Messi, Neymar, Ramos and they had Mbappe in one team. They have a good advantage to win one trophy each season and now that they have won the champions League for the second time they have made more money and it should be enough to finance the team and the new players they want.

You can't deny that PSG has unique privileges; you only have to look at the players' salaries to realize that this club is on another level. That's why money can achieve some things; you can achieve triumphs with money. The most difficult thing is that players like Neymar, Messi, and Mabiru, despite having tremendous seasons, have never won the Champions League.

At one point, his debt reached around $17,000--$18,000. Since he had no permanent source of income, it became almost impossible for him to repay the loan. Later, even though he asked his family for money, their financial condition was not that good, which made it impossible for him to repay the loan. Instead, he constantly came to the homes of those who had given him loans and threatened them in various ways, putting a lot of pressure on the family for money.

The guy had an attitude, he already had debt with these people, and yet he threatened them?  Did the guy commit suicide?  If he did not , then I do not think he died with that burden on his head.

Instead of looking for work to pay for hi debt, he chose to instill fear in people who lend him money.  I believe this guy is really a headache for their community.  

That is why everyone should gamble carefully and should gamble not for earning but for entertainment and fun.

When it comes to anything that includes high risk, one must be very careful.  Always be responsible in every action and never let our guard down, especially when we are engaging in gambling.  We must always have financial awareness, and always calculate every action and make sure that any money spend to any leisure will not impact our financial responsibility negatively.

Sometimes people get involved in gambling activities because of the way they hear or see their friends make money from it and they think they could get lucky too, but they soon find out that it is quite impossible to do so.
Once gambling stops being an entertainment and becomes a way to pay off debt or make financial plans for the future, it is a crisis waiting to happen.
The illusion of control eludes many because before they realize themselves, they are knee deep into gambling activities and social media or tv shows don't make it any easier because they market it and advertise it in the best possible way to make it interesting and profitable.

That's true, and of course when a husband is addicted to gamble it affects both his wife and children in terms of food and other things like school bills. Because whenever he has money the first thing that comes out from his mind is to gamble forgetting that he has responsibility to take care of, I have seen some children that dropped out from school reason been that Thier parents couldn't pay Thier school fees meanwhile he has been gambling almost everyday. Sometimes I wonder when all these set of people would stop gambling because they are deeply addicted to it.

Borrowing to gamble is taking dangerous risk. There is no guarantee in gambling so why would someone borrow money to put in such risky investment. Gambling should be done with what we can afford to lose. Borrowed funds does not qualify as what the investor can afford to lose. The worst part of loan is that the loan will continue to generate interest and assuming the loan was used to purchase Bitcoib and price enter bear season, that will plunge the investor into agony.

Therefore, before gambling, one should not gamble with debt and should control oneself.

Why just that? If it were a physical casino, it would be easy to identify each player. Perhaps the minimum age should be raised to more easily enforce the "Unemployed and low-income" rule, and I think a more mature age would be more responsible in enforcing the rules.

We have reminded a lot of people from the forum and outside that we should only gamble for entertainment, to have fun and kill some time. Not for making it as a source of money and dealing with it if you have won some. Because that defeats the purpose of entertainment and those who are just too good to gamble and understands that they can make some money, they know how to control themselves and they'll stop when they don't see some stroke of luck on that day for them. And never ever borrow money to gamble and even to invest, use your own money for these purposes.

[WhoYouCantKill]

It should be like that, but I cannot deny that in fact many gamblers are addicted and lose all their possessions and even go into debt because they cannot control themselves. I am sure that initially everyone is aware of this, but if someone is addicted, it will be very difficult for them to control it, therefore I always advise my friends not to gamble if they are not ready to restrain themselves.

It takes more than just being ready to retrain oneself to avoid making gambling mistakes or falling into addiction,  because a lot of gamblers who have fallen victim of addiction didn’t initially plan from the onset to misbehave, a lot of them where actually determined to gamble safe and avoid making obvious mistakes, but as time went on, things changed along with their mindset and approach, so it’s not just about the decision you make when or before one starts gambling.

Even if it can be concluded that more losses occur and then the results of these losses are distributed to other winners and also become an advantage
for the casino that regulates the bet, it can already benefit from the Fees and also the deduction of every winnings that occur.

Gambling looks to give big wins, but for those who don't know that gambling can make a big loss in a person's life.
Those who only see the magnitude of the winnings to keep playing until they end up losing everything without having good control over some gambling games and bets.

Recently, I learned from some local people yesterday that a tragic incident had occurred in a village near our area and it is a very sad incident.
A young man had been involved in casinos for a long time and he didn't do any work. Instead, he borrowed money from his family, friends, and even borrowed money to play at casinos, but he kept this secret so that no one knew about it.
At one point, his debt reached around $17,000--$18,000. Since he had no permanent source of income, it became almost impossible for him to repay the loan. Later, even though he asked his family for money, their financial condition was not that good, which made it impossible for him to repay the loan. Instead, he constantly came to the homes of those who had given him loans and threatened them in various ways, putting a lot of pressure on the family for money. When the family came to know about the matter completely and started putting a lot of mental pressure on the young man, but the boy did not get any direction and at the last moment he died with the burden of debt on his head.
According to the locals, he lost his life because he could not bear the financial and emotional stress. This incident made me realize that gambling never harms just one person, it can ruin an entire family even end their life.

Basically, I think this boy may have become very addicted to gambling and he thought that once he gets a big win, he will pay off his entire debt but that is not the case anymore. Such greed is pushing many people to death. Nowadays, when people enter casinos, they do not have control over themselves, so they lose control. When gambling with debt, it is the most risky, which is for the family and the children of the family. Therefore, before gambling, one should not gamble with debt and should control oneself. Gambling with debt really takes a person to a deeper level and puts him under mental pressure, so at one point, without looking at any situation, he finally chooses the path of death. That is why everyone should gamble carefully and should gamble not for earning but for entertainment and fun.

When gambling becomes an addiction it's a dangerous situation to find yourself because you just discover that in the long run you can not have control over your own gambling life and can not be decisive of how much you wish to gamble with because when you divide how much you wish to gamble, you obviously can not control  yourself when you reach your maximum amount and you just keep gambling untill  you gamble above your espected limits. And as for borrowing to gamble I cannot advice anyone to borrow just to gamble because while you gamble it's not a guarantee that you will win so its better you gamble with your own money and not with a borrowed money.

Not for making it as a source of money and dealing with it if you have won some. Because that defeats the purpose of entertainment and those who are just too good to gamble and understands that they can make some money, they know how to control themselves and they'll stop when they don't see some stroke of luck on that day for them. And never ever borrow money to gamble and even to invest, use your own money for these purposes.

Not everyone can see our discussions, either here or abroad, because they might not be able to access their social media, or we can't spread these good principles to every individual in the world. So, cases like this are bound to recur as long as they don't seek out the risks of gambling and the principles of gambling so they can gamble well and not destroy themselves. This is tied to the reach of information, and in reality, some are helped and some are not.

What happened in this case reminds us again that it's better not to gamble at all than to borrow money just to gamble. For me, that's the case. Although sometimes I think maybe if I gamble once and get lucky, I can have money. But that's a mistaken thought that I will surely regret, and I don't do it. Others who are already deeply addicted will certainly do something like that.

To all we have our different reasons for getting involved in gambling. On that my own reasons may be different from your but I don't think its advisable to repeatedly trying to convince others  to gamble just for fun and not fir its primary objective which is to generate income.
Even if we will advice people not to get involved in gambling because of what we believe but the primary objective of gambling must be made known and this objective is to generate capital either to the gambler of the site owner constantly.  Although I won't criticise the opinion never to gamble just for fun because gambling is the fastest killing tool i have ever seen.

There is something my friends used to say when we saw people who usually borrow loans to sort out things that are simply just a liability or when they think that they can quickly just multiply the borrowed money and keep the rest for themselves. We usually say that their life don dey spoil.

The last thing any gambler should think of is to think that they can simply just take a loan bet with it and then make the most profit with it; that thought alone is the beginning of one's journey to financial ruin when it comes to gambling. You should never use any amount that you cannot afford to lose, not to talk of taking a loan to gamble.

I don't know if it gets more popular, but it definitely gets more accessible and I think that makes a huge difference. Today it is not a big deal to open an account with whatever casino you want. The online presences are everywhere and offers are tempting. And the reality is that in most casinos you don't have to go through KYC, which makes it possible for underaged kids to open accounts and I think that should not be the case. On the one hand I don't like KYC as barely anyone would like to share their personal information with unknown entities (many operate without a proper license), on the other hand it should be necessary to protect young people as I think they may not be in the position yet to make decent judgments.

If gambling takes over a significant part of life, it is probably too late already. Gambling with rationality and proper thinking is a different topic, but I wonder how many are already stuck in a place they don't belong.

[Renampun]

Gambling should be for entertainment only.. if someone thinks they can win big and change their life completely, I think they are just hallucinating because gambling is more profitable for the casino in the long run and the chances of a player winning big are statistically very low, especially when most casino games are designed with a built-in house edge, it will be even more difficult for players to win big. therefore, if someone gambles and even takes on debt just to hope to win big, then they are taking a very high risk which will ultimately only make their life more difficult.
