Mental health is a spectrum, not a binary switch. The path to darkness is frequently slow, with subtle emotional and cognitive changes. Stress is rarely the issue; its how the mind handles it. Consider this tale: Average Jane starts online gambling. Its fun at first, but losses increase her tension. She thinks she can recover, but each loss deepens her financial and emotional hole. Jane's experience shows how gambling's addiction exploits the human inclination to chase losses, creating a destructive cycle.

Relationship with gambling matters. This high-stakes game requires self-control and alertness as safety nets. Lacking these attributes makes people more vulnerable, but dont generalize. Some like gambling without the risks. Balance, knowing limits, and playing with a clear mind are key.

I have always thought about something, when a player makes decisions like that it is because it was really wrong, it was very wrong because of finances, everywhere, because personally when a person is in a casino it should be clear that things can be different. easy and can take difficult paths, because losses are what can be generated at any time, a player before playing in any casino must understand that casinos are not businesses, companies that will always seek to win, and those that give money to Casinos are ourselves, so this is what we must see so that it can generate money, if we think maturely, then we can generate money , why? because if we have a balance totally ready to lose, it is one thing that changes everything, the biggest problem of every player is that when they play in the casino, they put in a lot of money and do not control it and can become decapitalized, that is what should be avoided, decapitalization is very common in people who do not know how to manage their emotions.

We are people who have to learn to have self-control , basically when we are in a place like casinos and there is no control, because with money many people get delicate, sometimes they are not able to endure losses and that means that they Cannot guarantee things as they are , maybe the person who killed himself was in a great depression, possibly with debts, alone, with no one, because sometimes people are not at the level of things , and they can do things like that by making decisions that It cannot benefit them, in addition things with casinos are quite strong if the person is not very clear about what they have to do , what they have to Master , I personally have always said that when you are in a casino you must have own rules , and that is what we must always consider, therefore it is better to have another vision of the casinos, the most correct one.

I'm sure most of the gamblers behind the scenes are aware of the risks that can occur in their gambling journey especially experiencing a lot of losses, maybe we can say that they shouldn't use a lot of money because there is always no certainty and guarantee but the problem is that different situations will make different decisions and that's why there are still many people who break the rules and limits that they initially set, tempting situations can be a big driver for them to always overdo it to realize a hope. They think that by bringing a big budget, the victory will also be big, I admit that it is true but on the other hand do you have a reason why you can be so sure that you will win? while on the other hand the house will always win.

That action will only make you experience a greater number of losses because the percentage of wins is much lower than losses and that is the reason and fact why more lose than win. On the other hand understanding what gambling really is is very important if you really want to get involved, don't let you come because you are lured by the chances of winning because when you are involved then everything will change meaning that your beliefs and hopes are nothing more than hallucinations because it is so difficult to win, the great pressure of losing makes them emotional and act out of control, I am sure the pressure suffered by that person is so great that he is desperate to commit suicide.

That's why people consider gambling to be a bad activity because it can have a bad impact when someone cannot be responsible regarding the budget spent. Gambling addicts find it quite difficult to set limits, especially regarding the use of their own or other people's money, because when they experience losses it will result in panic which leads to deciding something beyond logic and ultimately the person will commit suicide.

It is best to stay away from gambling if someone is not ready to accept the risk of losing money, gamble responsibly by considering the resulting risks and as much as possible set a special budget so that it does not interfere with daily life as a fulfillment of life.

If many gamblers were aware of the risks of gambling, they should not use a lot of money to gamble. They also don't need to experience a lot of losses, which could make them think short of ending their life because they suffer so many losses from gambling. Unfortunately, many people still gamble with big money, and many end up losing a lot. Of the many gamblers who experience defeat, some people decide to end their lives because they think they cannot afford to lose the money they have used in gambling. They think that by ending their life, their problem will resolved and they don't have to worry about losing. But they should be able to think about what would happen to the people they left behind if they decided to end their lives.

I sympathize with him.  It ain't easy to keep your head up and staying optimistic when you're losing money and feeling lousy about yourself.  That's why you gotta set boundaries and only gamble funds you can afford losing.

 And if you sense youre losing your grip, the best thing is to bail and take a timeout

Having and possessing a positive mindset, I agree with this. Tough times do not last, tough people do. So it's really a matter of mindset and attitude towards a situation. If you will let the situation control over your emotions and actions, justifying going reckless, or being impulsive, then you will definitely lose. Self-harm and killing yourself won't solve your problems. Those problems can be handled later on, you just need to be strong enough. I know this will be hard, but if you really want to survive, you gotta have a strong guts to keep moving forward. Money matters can be solved if you already have enough mental headspace to address the issue. So, you should start healing yourself then rehabilitate to avoid doing worse things.

It's just sad that we can read such news stories that a life has been lost due to losing a large amount of money in gambling. But that is not enough reason to commit suicide. The gambler who died could have prevented that suicide.

It's just that he's carrying the weight of depression, and maybe he has other problems apart from his gambling loss; maybe he has other personal problems like family matters, or we just don't know. So as gamblers, we should really avoid being greedy with money so as not to lead to addiction.

people who are addicted to gambling generally know that they are addicted to gambling and surely they can spend a lot of money just to gamble and also all the losses are caused by themselves who have no limits in gambling so even if they are in debt here and there they should be able to pay it off, because by committing suicide or ending their lives it is not the solution to everything, the pressure that exists and is caused by themselves should be overcome with self-awareness by completing everything, because all the pressure that occurs is also what started it is him so he should solve everything with guidance, but not by ending his life.

Like you, no matter how lost we are, but we must be able to remain calm, because all this happens also because of our own actions. I agree with that. take responsibility for what has been done.

I'm not sure if it is all about his big losses, for some reason he could use it as an excuse for the main reason.
In fact, he is a rich person and I know he could afford to lose that huge amount but there is something behind that story and we don't know yet. Because I don't he was stupid to commit such suicide just for that amount knowing that he could still make money as he had the capacity to do it.

Well, whatever the main reason for such a scenario, still it was a big mistake. He was too emotional and might have a mental problem.

The particular story has gone viral in my locality, just this afternoon I heard some people debating on the stupidity of the gambler, saying it was utter foolishness for anyone take or actually think of even taking his life. Gambling is something that should be done at the expense of knowing you can endure every lost that comes your way because losing is actually the bigger part of the habit, I am led to understand that the ratio of gamblers who are at profits than lose is very small as the major population of gamblers are at lost more than winning.

Everything has a solution in life when it comes to money problems,you just have to not give up no matter how bad the situation represent itself to you there is always a solution.I understand that when you have a huge loss and you think everything is finished for you and you go for the route of taking your own life yet this nothing solves for the person who does that.He only harm himself to the very end and this is the worse anyone can do to himself,desperation is a really bad thing for anyone and the devil is there to whisper you to devastate you completely.I feel extremely sorry for this type of situation yet they have happened and will continue to happen,I don't judge the person doing it while I believe these type of persons are of a weak character.

Yeah, you have a point but even those religious people have this kind of suicide thoughts once they experienced heavy problem in their life, even if they cry, pray and rest a lot, still there's a big problem waiting for them that's why so many intrusive thoughts comes to their mind. It's easy to be said but it is hard to apply once we are on their shoe. mental health is so important nowadays so it's better if you have yourself checked by the professionals.

There is no amount of money I can lost that will make me take my own life, even if I feel like i can't, because that's suicide, as a Christian it's even a condemnation, a very big sin, such thing trapped your soul and they become stranded in the spirit world, because its never you time to leave this earth, you forced it.

If this man just give it time and sleep over it, he will get over it, you are hurt and its fine to cry it out, its fine to be sad for day, but it will come to past and you will be fine, I have lost more than $3000 before and my bitcoin wallet was hacked weeks ago, I am now used to losing money and I have this peace in me that I will always be fine.

If you can't afford to lose a amount of money don't use it to gamble, people still won't learn from this story, but I hope they stop risking a lot of money on gambling, its most times not going to worth it because losing is the most possible thing that will happen when you gamble..may his soul rest in perfect peace and I hope his creator forgive him for taking the life he can't create.

A person can only take his life if he is under immense mental pressure, and that mental pressure makes them mentally paralyzed after one point which means that they lose the ability to think or understand anything, that's when they decide to end it all and they finish their life. They say that a person loses their ability to think or feel anything within 15 minutes of committing suicide, but I would say that they lose this ability right after the point where they start taking too much stress. After that point, they just stay pressurized until the last moments.

Gambling or anything else that involves finances and carries risk isn't for people who can't handle pressure or don't have low self-esteem and self-control, because such people will quickly become stressed out even if they lose a small amount, and that pressure starts building as they keep losing until it reaches a point from where they can't go back or get out.

This is the sad story I ever heard from a young man who has a future rather than focusing just on gambling. I don't know what exactly his mental state was at that time, maybe he had another problem which may be the main trigger to killing his self, because for me, no matter how much i am lost, I can still calm myself, and thinking if the money can be found and earned again by working, but life?, It's just once, we can not recovered again like like we're looking for money.

Maybe next, the gambling site has to take psychological tests for the new user?.

It's because what circles to his mind when he's lost that amount of money. Is that money really his or it's just a money from another person and he gambled it with the thought that he might grow it but then ended up losing it all.

We don't know what's exact on the mind of these people when they seem to be hopeless because of their actions.

It's never been an option and no matter how big the problem is, gambling related or not, don't ever think of it. And now the question of what amount lost can make someone (not me) do it? I think that's a disturbing question and prefer not to answer.

This is common news if you'll ask me. A lot of people who are in too deep in the gambling scene's looking at suicide as a final resort. I often see reddit threads about this topic too, where casino staff who obscures their identity on reddit confess about the dark sides of the casino industry, with suicides in the bathroom stalls or their complementary hotel rooms being a common scene. Some already suicidal folks would take a loan in the bank, splurge it all off in the casino for one last high, and then off themselves in the casino premises as well. It's a depressing ordeal and to think that this is happening all the time in brick-and-mortar casinos just fucking me up so much in the head from trying to fathom the mental fortitude it would take for you to actually stay afloat in that industry. Jesus christ.

With modern laws on bankruptcy and being able to move on and restart nobody should be suffering such a fate.  It is a mistake based off a poor frame of mind, emotional upset and such a person requires counselling  and good advice to best guide them, they are lost but can be better helped if the thoughts of this person is realized in time.
  In the old days if you were unable to pay debts it could result in prison or many other things where as today the debt can be mediated via many services between the debtor and those owed money.  Its part of a better modern society we have, it may not be perfectly that way in every country but many places you should not fear being in this situation you can recover. Its also better for society if people realize a mistake can be recovered from despite many regrets its not the end of things.

Gambling addiction and going beyond the limits is always risky. As most gamblers mentioned we should know our limits. These incidents were a learning for most of the gamblers here. Myself had the thoughts of ending life, which is really bad. When we're in loss many things reach our mind, but we should not take the decision to end life in any situation. We should look for a way to come out of the problem.
