Topic: A dangerous gambling behavior of a gambler - page 5. (Read 1523 times)

everyone is wired differently and have different tendencies and possibilities. what he did was bad and shows that he is a thief apart from being a gambler. thieves generally display their stealing nature at any slight opportunity they have and that's just the simple thing the dude did. if he was eventually caught or arrested for attempting that sort of thing, he will do same thing thieves do, he will shamelessly deny or or beg for forgiveness.
the cashier was obviously careless which is what's not expected of a cashier. it depends on how useful she's been at other occasion that will determine if I will still keep her or not and it also depends on the amount that's involved. if the money isn't much and its just a normal absent mindedness that happen at that instance, I can forgive her and let it fly but if its been her nature and the money is huge, its either she ceases to work for me or she will have to pay a certain percentage of the money from her salary.
before you even get comfortable with your gambling customer to have allowed such thing to happen, its possible the person has been coming to the place and you already know him. even if you're not familiar with the face, people around that location that were at the shop[ at the time the incidence occurred might of great help.

This is a regular practice in my neighborhood as well and it always end in fights and arguments. It usually happen because games placed on virtual cannot be cancelled because the time is usually short. I think companies operating virtual games can solve this problem by adjusting their rules to require that the gambler pay in advance before starting the gambling session. For instance, when a gambler work into the shot to gamble on the virtual, he can deposit the amount he want to gamble with and start gambling to be stopped when his deposit is exhausted. The only challenge will be that there are many customers being attended to by just few agents which may be the reason this incident happened else the agent would have noticed when the gambler was leaving and raise alarm.

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.

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?

you are right because from my own country where we participate in gambling we don't need to gamble on credit we make a payment before gambling it is about management of gambling that will make some people to turn up in gambling due to our the centre address them, so therefore gambling is a business that you will not go by force you have to understand it properly, so gambling is something of luck and wisdom, we don't need to go gambling centres without physical cash, so I believe that we have to know such

The sports betting shops in your country has a bad management, the customer need to give the money before able to play, not the other way around. I think this case happened in everywhere, it's risky to let the customer to do whatever they likes but they don't have enough money to pay the bills. The business owner can't do much, it's wasting time to handle this problem, but at the same time they should prevent this case to occur in the future, if not they will ends bankrupt.

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.

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.

What happened here is simple: this person, new or not, got greedy. Thinking their fortune would endure always, they fell for the oldest scam in the book. That is basic, plain terrible decision-making not just greed. Though its a dangerous delusion, easy money can give anyone superhuman abilities.

Regarding new vs regular gamblers, casinos have to raise their game now. Their responsibility is to acknowledge whether someone is in distress, new or not. This is about shielding people, not only about security.

They should notice these trends using their fancy technology since they own it. Using data to create money and keep people safe is what I define as smart business. The cashier may have been the one to deliver a reality check and halt this. In this sector, we need leaders of the kind that you describe.

Yes, but unfortunately the person did not have the understanding that you mean, so instead of cashing out and enjoying it, what happened was that he continued and eventually lost all the total amount that he had previously won. And this is someone who is included in the people who are too greedy and do not realize the risks that lurk.

On the other hand, I am also quite curious about whether it was a new person who came to the store or a gambler who had subscribed or had often bet there, but at first glance I think he might be a new person who came there, because if he was a regular customer then he should not have run away, at least he said something to the cashier like he owed money and came back again someday to pay it because most likely the cashier must have recognized him. Regardless of whatever it is, I think in the end this is a valuable lesson for the cashier to be more vigilant and careful, and of course this is also a lesson for the store itself to improve security.
