Topic: A gambler lost what he couldn't afford to lost and broke his TV after game Lost (Read 860 times)

LOL, now he didn't just lose a bet but also lost his TV.
But honestly those kind of people shouldn't really be gambling, those who couldn't control their emotion and tends to destroy or hurt the people around them.
I've seen some people lose control because they couldn't control their emotions and most of the time they would always be sorry or regret what they did when they calm down.

Those who have done things like that should be able to realize their mistakes. However, they must change the bad things that have happened so that they will not experience them again in the future. Otherwise, they will only make the situation worse and there may be even worse things in the future.

Yes, I agree that we should risk what we can afford to lose. That will prevent us from experiencing excessive losses that we cannot bear. You don't need to play gambling too often and hard because that will cause you to lose.

We must realize that we have made a mistake and will not repeat it. We don't need to act stupidly like that anymore by always trying to control ourselves when gambling.

What did he get then from doing such thing? Nothing right? Just bigger problem. The phrase "only gamble an amount you can afford losing" might sound cliché, but people still keep on falling from it. Emotions are indeed hard to control especially when money is involved but that's already the reason why we should be preventive of such instance. Start it earlier than waiting for it to happen on your end. Keep in mind that no matter how confident or frustrated you are to win, nothing will be guaranteed simply because it is a gamble.
Beating the house should never be the goal; just desire to win but be preventive of huge loss. Even if you win in some games, the house will always win simply because not all players are winning at the same time and with consistency. Having a mindset of fighting against the house will just leave you nothing but regrets at the end of the day. Focus on your game, manage your bets, and accept how gambling works not only for you, but to all of us.

The player may have been shocked to lose $1000, a reminder that he shouldn't gamble what will cause him pain. One anger leads to another, he's now down on both sides, lost his TV and money. That's a severe pain on his end. His regret would lodge in his heart for a while. Peace of mind is the oxygen of humanity. A player whose mind is not peaceful would get stressed out in their thoughts. I think a close person to him like Op should talk to him. He could get depressed if he doesn't receive valuable attention for overreacting in this manner. Explaining to him that all will be fine soon is a better word but letting him understand that his terrible behavior could put him in despair, would make a difference.

That's a problem gambling by the corner, he should be attended to immediately. His expectations have failed him. Having in mind what he would have done with the doubled money if he won, seemed to him a disappointment when he lost. All he ever thought of buying with the money may have been lost. Thoughts like this make gamblers gamble beyond their control. However, he should be in a better mood, soon, emotionally. He was only terrified; his anger would get suppressed sooner. But there is a big tendency he'd get into that behavior again when he tries gambling a high amount and losing it.

You are on point but I would rather label this stupidity rather than overconfidence, the two are not the same thing even though they still fit in this context, only that one outweighs the other. This is what I can only resort to in this context as I think of it over and over again, because that guy could not afford to lose the money, nevertheless, he went on to gamble it, so that's stupid. Gambling is not as bad as many think about it but the gamblers engaging in it are the unwise ones doing unspeakable things that make people label gambling bad. Gambling is never a do-or-die thing, so why try to believe that it is your last hope?

This is the way those who are risking what they can't afford to lose think and behave, but this must stop to avoid persistent issues for them. We should endeavour to gamble what we can afford to lose, manage our psychology in gambling and also have good management towards the portfolio. But it is sad that many people know all these but will still go ahead to gamble by overlooking all the warnings. This can only happen because of stupidity and nothing else.

People keeps making the same mistake like this. I don't even know what people takes gambling for, if they think gambling is a game that they can just think it will always give them just exactly they predict.  The worst of it people go into gambling with all the money expecting it will come back, this is not how gambling works. People needs to learn how to think before playing gambling,  like asking themselves what if the game does not come out just as they expected it.

It is wrong for gamblers playing with the money that they can't afford to lose and when they get lose in gambling they get angry to make things worst, their action if the game ends up bad should be the reason why they need to play with amount they can afford to lose.

Addicted gamblers often lose the ability to think critically and make mindful decisions whether it's about making their bets or reacting after incurring losses. Just like this guy, they first make reckless gambling decisions and bets that they can't afford to lose, and then when they lose those bets, they rage and do things that make them lose more money or properties eventually which, as you said, makes it become a double loss for them.

This is the reason why one needs to be responsible with their gambling activities, and gambling isn't for people who don't have enough patience and control over their emotions because if he was patient, he wouldn't break his TV after the loss and that could at least save him some money.

Well, that's right, as you said, they think they can beat the edge that the casino has by using all the methods that they think are effective in generating lots of wins, and what they don't think about is that all the games provided are built by the casino. where the casinos know everything and they also never tell the gamblers about how to produce a definite win, in essence all gamblers have no more than the same chance of winning and the possibility of losing but perhaps with different amounts.

And maybe we can be sure that in the end they will be trapped in a cycle of chasing wins to return something they have previously lost, which in fact will only cause them to lose a larger amount of money. Of course it is true that it is impossible for a gambler to beat the casino, they are just losers who want a lot of money instantly while on the other hand in any case when you want to get a lot of money then you have to fight hard as put dedication to work in general where you sweating a lot to get a salary, which means it's impossible for you to get a lot of money just by gambling, and logically, if for example gambling can give certain results then it's clear that many people will have become rich, so don't fantasize too much.

There’s a lot of gamblers think like this that they can beat the casino by applying some strategy that involves low and high odds in the process which doesn’t matter in reality since all games in the casino has a house edge which is impossible to beat especially in long term exposure on gambling.

In general, it’s impossible to beat the casino even using sure bets, arbitrage betting and other strategy that can guarantee profits because casino will surely seize your profit once they caught you doing this since it’s considered unfair for them if you bet without any risk.

You are Very correct, low odds can be so tantalizing and attracting gamblers to pick because they feels the risks to loose can be boycotted.

This has also reminded sometimes ago when a friend of mine told me that he has lost too much in couple of times in gambling because he has been engaging on too much risks of picking big odds all just so that he can have huge profits at his winning.
Ever since then, he said to have decided on picking low odds and accumulate the profits on a gradual process and yet he still lost even at the low odds.

He feels so frustrated and beginning to doubt that he does not think if there is ever going to be possibilities of winning in the gambling again.
I just smile because this is the same game who has been so comfortable in gambling simply because he could win then.
Now he feels the gambling sites is playing some trick on their games.

I agree with what you have mentioned.

Even if someone tries to argue that the person did such thing in spite of his rage, still, that does not justify his actions of destroying stuff that costs lots of money in the process. If a person is indeed on the height of their emotions, there is the tendency where they make questionable decisions that would affect them in the long run.

Gambling should always be about fun with the element of profit and not the other way around. If you have this tunnel vision of profiting from gambling while ignoring all the signs, then expect a bumpy and dangerous road ahead.

This is stupidity upon addiction. I can only imagine what was going through his mind when he threw such a big  amount into the casino. He should've thought better of the negative effect of his decision before engaging. I still cannot settle with the fact that some people are still very much one way minded when making decisions. Action and reaction are equal and opposite, this still applies to almost everything we do in life. His was only thinking about his action converting for him and never thought of the effect it could have on him upon losing. Now the reaction was more than his lost funds, he destroyed his television set in the process which led to a double loss.

I don't pity such people, he deserved what he got because it wasn't an accident, but an intentional act. I only hope he  learned his lessons

I don't know if these are the influencers you're referring to who lost a lot of money gambling; he broke his TV because he bet a lot on Baccarat and didn't get the winnings he hoped for. That's what really happens when our emotions become so high that, for sure, we will do something that is not good.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4WAeo1grOs

Just like the one in that video where he broke something, the flat-screen TV behind him was broken, but he also broke it because of gambling, and I have never experienced such an emotion because I have never experienced losing. to gamble a large amount.

Overconfidence is your keyword here. That's the issue with "secured" or "guaranteed" bets; there's no such thing, and I believe we've all encountered something similar that was completely unexpected. The truth is, there are no guarantees when you're betting. I've been burned in the past; it's reasonable to feel mad or frustrated, but how well you control your reaction is up to you. Going as far as breaking stuff is a problematic and abusive behavior, which may have a deeper meaning as well, perhaps meaning a violent person or one who's unable to manage their feelings and themselves. And now what? $1.000 lost, and who knows how much more to replace the TV—something completely unnecessary.

Losses and winnings are not the same thing, one brings joys and smile while the other brings glaring and sadness. We should learn to understand how the market operates and our emotions should be stable at all time. Emphasis on ruining valuable properties at home because your bets didn't trigger profits, will solve nothing. Gambling addicts are well known for this aggressive actions, they're always hot temper because they become desperate to make profits. Be ready to observed the system and also ensure you've master the momentum of been silent. Anger will lure a gambler to commits offense.

Now this is the case,  leveraging much on a bet and putting your expectations to conquer you. I know emotions can't be eliminated but Can be reduced. When one gamble, gamble based on your risk tolerance and allow the bet decide understand the fact that you nothing is predictable and be ready to accept any outcome.

If you don't trust yourself, don't go in. Forget the odds, or potential winnings, set limits. The truth comes when the gambler accept he can't control the outcome and is ready to lose his money and accept any outcome regardless. So before you bet ask yourself if you are ready to lose that money?

When we take actions based on emotion the later outcome is always regret. Dust off yourself and move on.  Don't allow expectations consume you, always consider the risk before the win.

There is always a chance that you might lose a bet. There is never a guarantee of winning, even if the bet looks like a safe one, the underdog might just be lucky and defeat the team tipped to win.

This kind of behavior is often seen in people with anger issues. It is unacceptable to be angry about something you have no control over, the only thing you can control is the amount you decide to gamble with and which team you want to bet on. Once the game kicks off, you can only hope that your predictions will be accurate.

Be gentle with yourself after a loss. This person lost $1000 and damaged a tv which could be worth $300 or more. He successfully added more debt to his name.

Unfortunately, this happens to many people who cannot control their emotions when faced with a bad scenario.
In fact, this wasn't even the worst case, as I've read and heard stories of people who lost much more because of their impulsive behaviors, such as wives or girlfriends and even children. You see, it is much more difficult to recover a personal relationship than a material possession.

In any case, this demonstrates one of the great dangers of gambling addiction: They sabotage our senses, make us lose a lot of money and even ruin lives if they are not played wisely and always with well-defined limits on amounts and time spent.

This is actually common with individuals who have Anger issues And those who cannot control their emotions.speaking about the senario you narrated Above It is very clear that the man is one those who believwd that there is sure game And they will go about staking small Odds with huge amount of money .the only thing that I have seen in life that is very certain is death because It is price that every human being  ought to pay. But trying To tell me that a particular game is sure I will sincerely see you as a clown And many Gamblers have become victim of that .

More still , talking about the amount he lost , just like I said in My Precious post please do not State any amount that you cant afford To lose, I learnt this approach while trading crypto I have never risked a huge amount that I will end up regretting while trading crypto And IT help me alot And I decided To try It in My gambling life And it worked for me Too.breaking his television shows that he is a violent gambler And If he had placed that bet In a casino house probably he would have caused a problem or probably fight someone while trying To ease is anger.

I know that emotions are psychological but can't we think first before acting on something we might regret due to the consequences of what we've done? I know it's hard but if we can't control our emotions it will get us more of just a loss just like that guy has did. Disappointment is part of gambling most especially when we lose all the money we cannot afford to lose but we should know our limits so things will not worsen.
