Topic: A gambler lost what he couldn't afford to lost and broke his TV after game Lost - page 6. (Read 860 times)

This is what I am always saying that one can never win a bet when he's not making any sense like knowing that gambling is about luck. Who in the hell told the man in your hood that gamble is buy smaller odds or guarantee? To whom it may concern, they have to know that gamble is by luck and not by odds or whatever.
These are the reasons why I don't care about odds as even 1.01 odd can cut of a bet in 90+ ending, there was ones a game I staked on sports and the bet was lost because they scored the team I bet on and they drawed the game. That was not what made me to become angry but my anger was because why did the referee not end the game on time even when the time has gone far, and the time they scored the team I bet on that's was the time the referee ended the match. However, I am not addicted to gamble I have to see it as nothing big because I already knows that when my time comes I will win.

I dont know if there are people who do really mind or having those kind of mindset telling that breaking a TV is a sign that he's a rich person.I do agree on what you have said
that cost or price of TV now is already becoming that cheaper but of course it isnt something that not everyone could be able to afford on breaking one. Even myself
even if we do speak about cheap TV but i cant still be able to break it out just because i have lost in gambling. Well there might be some those punching gestures but i wont really be hitting any things
inside the house and just like said it would be a double kill on which you have lost your bet and so as with your TV which it isnt really that worth.

Was that the video that went viral after the Afcon match that made Nigeria to lose? I saw the video trending on X the other day and all I could think of.os that the guy is mentally sick and not unstable to think that Nigeria was going to win that match without Ivory coast putting a fight. They were the host nation, of course they would do everything in their power to deny Nigeria that trophy and it was obvious that the officiating teams were against us, I feel like we were robbed because they didn't let many of the fans get their tickets. So many irregularities in that match that stopped Nigeria from winning that match.

If I will bet $1000 bet, it wouldn't be on a final match because it's always difficult to guess right, I learnt that after the World cup final between France and Argentina, they played that match till penalty time and if they tell me that Argentina will win that they, I will argue all they but the did win; that guy doesn't know how to bet, his loss for losing the money and breaking his television.

This is not the first time I'm seeing this kind of attitude and in fact it do exist that people get angry on the outcome of their bet and they destroy something or they get demselves wounded. So maybe this is resurfacing again and it is lack of control that cause it. People who have temper and has big appetite for huge stake are those who fall under this category because of the stake they went for, they invest hope to win but never will they consider if the bet will lose. There is no guarantee in gambling which is why any bettor need to understand the risk involved first. To reduce the risk drive will lesser how much loses you can encounter.

Easing out the extreme frustration is something that would really be having no limits on which a certain person could do on which its not shocking that someone could be able to break his own TV,
punching up the wall, punching up the computer screen or even breaking things inside the house on which this isnt really that totally shocking. This is why it would really be that best
that on the time that you have decided on making up some bets with gambling then expect the unexpected. As long the game isnt over or that timer isnt 0. There would really be always
those possibility of comeback or upset.

You might be able to see that you are almost winning then suddenly the results did turn upside down on which it did result into loses
then as a human being then those kind of emotions and feeling is really just that normal.The issue on here is on the time that you are breaking
things then it does really shows on how impulsive you are.

There is no 100 percent guaranteed winning bet, even when with the smallest surest seem odds. It just very simple to detect that the gambler has a problem of greed, only a gamblers with such mindset would think they will win jackpot and increase stakes way above their limit.
Number of times that I have lost huge amount of money that struck my feelings was basically as result of greed and those losses has actually taught me big lessons of my life, now the way I bet, even though the odds/team looks or have higher chances of winning, I have learned to never go way above what I can't afford to lose.

This is a typical example of a gambler heading to the realm of full time addiction because with his reaction to the money lost it easy to conclude that he won't just let it go and I believe so strongly that he would definitely place another bet maybe not the same amount but the idea would be that he can actually win and get close to regaining his funds so it's better to actually stay clear this part rather than involve or start something you can't finish.

I see these types of videos all the time. It used to make a bigger impact when TVs weren’t given away for opening checking accounts.  Now, the price of TVs have fallen so low, destroying a TV isn’t really a sign you’re rich or angry, so much as it is a sign that you’re an idiot that can’t control your behavior.

For these reasons We have to Control ourselves a lot in the emotions of games , and when we don't have a lot of money to gamble and there is no adequate control, then this type of thing happens, frustrations that sometimes people don't control their own anger well, and this is the Only thing that we must also learn to know ourselves, if we do not take into consideration things as they are, we can end many things, in anger control because and I am serious, a few months ago I saw a program that was on TV , of a man who could not stand the anger that a passer-by did not give him way, and then he got off his motorcycle, beat him and killed him.

So when things are like this, they Asked him what he did now, and he said that he regretted it, that he was very upset, that anger was what led him to that, that he asked the family for Forgiveness, then the Seeing cases like these, it is easier to break a TV than to kill a person , but even so things should not be like that.

That's called addictive gambling because a gambling addict things differently than normal gamblers and such addicts just want to win no matter what. The guy lost the bet and that's why he couldn't control his anger and broke his TV also.

I think this is the first stage of gambling addiction because if he can break his TV then such people can go to extremes in order to win and unfortunately luck never favor such gamblers and they always end up losing more and more instead of winning.

That's nothing strange in my circles!

I've seen folks smash their TVs after their team chokes in a big game.  They ain't even got money on it! The difference is they got cash to burn so they just buy another flatscreen right after.  Probably an upgrade over the busted one and  i knew this guy who put his fist through the screen when his squad lost in the finals - had a cast on for weeks but you better believe he had a new TV delivered that same day.  Yeah, fandom makes you crazy sometimes.

This is a typical madness and I advise the guy to work more on himself and not act based on emotion. It also shows how immature the guy is, a person who has not worked on himself. What if it is worse than that? He should be very careful, and people who are opportune to know about this should confront him and advise him on the need to be calm in the face of losses and provocation if they have access to him. If not, such would do things he would regret for the rest of his life. I see this beyond gambling, so he should be very careful.

Imagine, losing the money and also the TV, this is crazy. It also points to the fact that we should only gamble with the money we can afford to lose. Had it been that the guy had risked a small amount of money gambling, he might even have more money to try again maybe he would have won the next time. Not in this way that he lost everything due to his folly. Gambling requires accountability from us and not 100% assurance, we should think about the possible outcome and not be blinded by the assurance of any bet no matter the belief. Even the surest bet in terms of possibility had failed some people, so we should not be senseless. Nevertheless, I hope he has learned his lesson, next time, he will gamble safer.

These compulsive gamblers when they lose money they don't want to lose end up doing things, they regret later, cannot remember what they have done, lose their temper, and just explode hitting whoever and whatever comes their way, these kinds of gamblers are dangerous, they are violent they can do criminals if you argue with them so its better that these people be left alone and do not try to stop or argue with them.

This kind of gambler should be treated because they resort to violence when a person commits violence and later do not know what they committed they can hurt their loved ones so it's better to immediately get an intervention before he again goes out of control and hurt himself or other people.

This is why we shouldn't be over confidence with our bet because gamble is all about luck, and there is no guarantee of your lucky day. This should be a lesson for him that it is not all low odds that is likely to win the game. I have seen high odds that wins and brings good profit of it for any gamble that went for it.

Gambling should be seen as fun because it is very easy risky to use as a means to make profit. Only use the amount that you can afford to lose, so that after when you lose, you will be able to control your emotions, instead of getting things more messy for yourself. I hope that the person that you mentioned will have learnt his lesson now, that gambling is not what we should be putting much on due to fake confidence.

Therefore, I emphasize that gambling must be done with our readiness for what is certain in gambling, including losses in gambling that must be accepted well, so that undesirable things do not happen, such as heightened emotions, because if Emotions are already running high, so it's very likely that everything will fall apart like you said. However, every gambler who loses at gambling certainly feels annoyed, but it can't be helped that losses in gambling cannot be avoided smoothly.

Gambling should be able to be played calmly and relaxed even though there are tense moments, but don't let that trigger our emotions to rise, because in my opinion if we get emotional then we could lose self-control. everything becomes messy and chaotic because of mounting emotions which eliminate the self-control that should exist. and I think something like that shouldn't happen, even though you're upset about the defeat, try your best not to take it out on something detrimental, like breaking the TV or something else.

Sorry but I have to disagree with your last statement, and this is because, there is no way one can eat his or her cake and still have it, one can not lose a game, get really angry and destroy something of good value, and you expect the person to still not remain the frustration of his lost money, as well as the item he or she destroyed, on those around them.

I've witnessed a case of my neighbor where I lived between 2016 and 2020 before I moved to where I currently live.
Man went out, had an issue with his fellow man which resulted in a fight, he was beaten by the other man whom as I supposed, was heavier than he is, he came back home furious, he picked up his phone and discovered it was off, he tried to turn it on but the phone won't come up because the battery was already drained, seems that made him even more angry and out of frustration, he smashed the phone on the floor, and it broke, his little daughter hearing the sound rushed out, saw the smashed phone and tried to ask her dad what happened, the man angrily slapped her, she ran to her mum, who also came out and confronted the husband wanting to find out why he beat their daughter, the man again pounced on his wife and started beating her  , it was a show of shame for that family that day, and later on, the man confessed that it was the phone he broke that made him beat his family up, he said temper rose to the highest height after seeing he had destroyed the phone, knowing well it was an expensive phone.

So, this I believe is an example to tell you that, people still out of anger of that they have destroys, face other people unjustly.

I've seen a lot of that in my social media feed like the recent Football Superbowl they are so passionate about the game, what triggers these people's anger is that the game is too close, they bet a lot of money because they are die-hard fans and out of frustration they bent on their TV set, but there were rumors that some of these outrages are staged to gain more views and followers.

These are bad examples of people putting everything on a team and when they lose they cannot keep up with their temptation, but on the other hand it is better to bend your anger to things than on people, because it will cause a lot of trouble for you and other people.

Well, things like this happen every day in different parts of the world, but only those we see or hear about, are the ones we know about.
And you are right saying that he now is suffering from two loses, guest is the loss of his money which as stated by the op, is $1000, and the second loss is his television, and unfortunate for him, getting a very good television this day would definitely cost him alot of money, thanks to his inability to control his temperament, at the end now, has the broken television paid him back his lost $1000?, the Answer is no, so, what exactly was such display for?

First, it's wrong to bet an amount we can't afford to lose, but when we did make that or such mistake, it is important for us to control ourselves if for whatever reason, the money is lost, for whatever we destroy out of anger, will only turn out to be our second, third and even forth loss, like for example, someone who loses money and out of frustration, ends his or her live, has eventually lost everything, and I mean "every single thing".

This kind of stuff happens all the time around the world isn't anything new. People have done a lot worse like taking their own lives etc whenever they end up losing money that they aren't willing to lose in the first place.

None of this will ever change sadly because there will always be gamblers who will risk their funds trying to change their lives and end up regretting later on.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Many people are ignorant when they see the odds @1.01 and they think it's impossible to lose, but we've seen few upsets happens every year, so it mean either you bet on heavy favorite or heavy underdog, both has a chance to lose.

This is the reason why I don't like to bet on heavy favorite except I bet in parlay.
