Topic: A dangerous gambling behavior of a gambler - page 2. (Read 1509 times)

Your place is tough. Every gamblers win = casinos financial loss. Right? If by dealer mistake gambler wins millions in jackpot, that dealers children generations will have to work for casino then? Sounds wrongs.

Casinos employees and dealer especially seems to be most unhappy and unsafe job. If you do something wrong, casino might suffer a huge loss. If a gambler losses, he blames the dealer and threatens him. Not to mention that dealer has to listen all that clients crap and be humiliated by clients.

In my place if the employees make mistake that resulting in financial loss, they will work until they pays off all the amount or the owner will report them to authority and make them going to jail. Although in this story the owner also responsible with the employees' mistake, but the authority will judge based on how wealthy you're than being objective.

Most of them choose to work, even though every month the salary they receive will be cut to recover the loss.

It's just simple stupidity to allow someone to continue betting on credit without payment because I can't seem to rap my around the logic of allow the gambler continue playing except maybe the cashier also is a gambler and believe luck will maybe reach the gambler and then he would pay off but unknowingly to him that sometimes gambling can be really messed up and you can continue chasing your loses till God knows when and still you won't get that amount you are looking for.

Questions for discussion:
Why would a gambler adventure in  such a risk knowing the embarrassment he would have received or even getting arrested for it.

If you happen to be the manager of that gambling shop what will be your action towards the foolishness of such an employee. Will it just be an angry shout or beyond that?

Do you think there is any measure through which the strange guy could be identified since there was no CCTV cameras stationed in and outside the shop environs?

I think that the moment you go out into the street you are already in danger, in fact in the very house where you live you can fall and even kill yourself , as they say here , "when it's day, it's day" but you have to be clear that there are many People who are a bit Crazy and that you have to be Careful of that, therefore in a casino things are handled with money and it is smart to imagine what to do before going out to a casino, because dangerous things can happen, so you have to leave home prepared for any type of eventuality, the mere fact of Being prepared is nough to know how to Act.

People are not robots, sometimes they do make mistakes. I dont think that the owner of casino will force her to work until she repays all the amount, but the cashier will definitely face some punishment. For example no annual bonus like 13th salary. I have also seen some times when casino employees made mistakes offline. When playing poker, several times dealer calculated incorrectly amount of win, sometimes forget to subtract rake or distribute wrong amount of chips. That was a game changing amount. The manager just gave dealer warning, later send to take some rest and replaced with other. I was also amazed that none of gamblers around the table notice that, and later did not charge any questions about it.

it's a long story but I'll try to make it short as I can for a comprehensively.

Yesterday while I was putting together some predictions for a parley bet as the EPL and other leagues  has just kicked off. In the process I started experiencing network hitches problem which I wasn't getting comfortable with. Suddenly another idea erupted in my head, why not just go straight to any of the sports betting shops closer and book these games at once. So I zoomed off.

On getting there with ease I was able to book my games using their computer and taking my ticket. In the brief time I was in the shop I noticed how one of the cashier was addressing another of the cashier angrily (it was later I learned that he is the head cashier). So out of curiosity I couldn't mind my business, I inquired as to what could be the problem why he was talking with such an angry tune on his coworker.

He then told me how a gambler had walked into the shop and played sessions of virtual games worth #32k (in our local currency) and disappeared without paying. I was confused, like how did that happened I asked. He had to go into details explaining that when the strange guy  played his first game he won #18k for which he didn't ask to be paid but continued gambling using the winning cash until he lost it all back to the shop. Out of confidence, the cashier didn't bother requesting for money for the next sessions thinking that after the guy might have been done gambling he will calculate the total loss for payment to be made or he perhaps might get another lucky win in the middle to cover for it in part or whole since he was able to get a win in the first game played. But unfortunately for him, the strange guy had another intention in mind, disappearing at the slightest minute the cashier's attention was diverted from his sight.

I felt dumbfounded by the stupidity of the cashier as I was speechless to say the least, I just had to tell him that the manager of the shop should install a CCTV camera in the shop to prevent future roguery of this nature.

Cashiers don't act just like cashiers alone, they also know how to care for the business. The owner will surely understand the situation and won't force her to pay instantly, but of course, she needs to realize the impact of her mistake. She could quit, but I don't see that as the best solution, as everyone can commit mistakes unless the owner never sees how to accept them and fires her.

Carelessness and being out of focus are things that could affect our performance. But all of these things and the mistakes that happen will earn lessons in return, and that will also help the cashier take more responsibility for her job as the owner trusts her.

She can pay the money but the owner should not be too harsh on her by allowing her to pay the money in small quantities. She is not earning so much that she can pay at one time. She was careless and she needs to learn a lesson so she can be more careful in the future. The replacement of the money should be taken from her monthly salary until all the debts has been cleared. She need to take her job seriously or she should quit so others that will take the job very seriously will be hired. If she is not being taught a lesson, she might repeat same thing and the shop will keep losing money. Before any gambler is allowed to gamble, they should have paid and not allow them to gamble on credits because at times, people do not know what they are doing when addiction is controlling them.

Gambling's a game of chance, and most folks are playing it blindd. Slot machines are designed to capture your money. Winning is about seeing the chances, knowing the game, and knowing when to walk away, not about luck. Most individuals goof up at that point. One can see gambling as a black hole. It screws with your head, distances you from what counts: family, friends, your own darn life. To be honest, we should either bet smart or not gamble at all. Savish the excitement, but keep under control.

The true test is to risk without allowing it to define you. It's about awareness, understanding the hazards, and not ruining your life or the life of people close to you. Stay the hell away if you cannot manage that.

Probably this betting shop is new in this business with unexperienced workers, because letting someone gamble without depositing his money first is a huge mistake, especially with a large amount of money, even if that person is an old or known customer. Gamblers and bettors can be addicted and change their behavior, they wouldn't mind trying anything illegal to gamble, even the risks of going to jail.

I'm not surprised with an event such like this because the gambling shops sometimes funny things do happen and it is important for the management of gambling shops be extra vigilant of their customers because you never can tell what people who come around have in mind.

I agree with you, in gambling, whatever the type of game and how, luck will still play a role in determining the victory and defeat that can happen to anyone who gambles. In slot games, I clearly think that victory depends entirely on luck, so it makes sense when this one game is said to enrich the casino or slot owner, because it is rare to win, especially with a big win. Someone who is addicted to gambling tends to have a more aggressive nature than usual because their thoughts that only think about gambling make them not care about other things around them, even their own family, so it is not strange if there are cases of families being destroyed because of someone who is already addicted to the family. Besides, whatever gambling they do can change them into a worse person in their behavior if they themselves cannot limit the gambling they do.

A little opportunity can make us to make huge money in gambling that is while we keep seeing gamblers that don't even have funds to gamble looking for where to borrow loan to try their luck because they believe anything can happen at anytime. Gambling is for the strong ones and if we don't belief in what we do, then how for we expect to make money from gambling.  There are so many gamblers that like taking dangerous moves when they want to bet especially using huge amounts of funds to get in games that ha s small probability of one winning or with small odds.
