Topic: A gambler takes his own life after a loss. - page 13. (Read 2966 times)

Just reading this now but that's terrible.  Gambling addiction and evening just gambling above your means is insanely detrimental to people.  I couldn't stomach gambling enough to where if I lose I would consider ending my life it's just not worth it.  It's just money.  I hope someone will at least see this amd think twice about going "all in" hopefully saving someone else's life.

I can't do it to myself to kill myself because I lost a lot in gambling, yes it's stressful, sad, all the painful emotions you get. Money can't buy my life. Let's always remember that no matter what test comes we can overcome it as long as you trust yourself. It's not because you lost that much money that you're going to kill yourself, sure that blessings will come to you in the future, sure that something better will come to you.
You did have that kind of money so it's not impossible for that to happen. Let's appreciate our own life.

If you know that then leave gambling which it is irresponsible and a case like this is not the first time this has happened because there have been several previous cases too. Loss of common sense makes someone decide to commit suicide and for me this is quite ridiculous and stupid.

Of course, people will commit suicide because they experience big losses or it could be that the money they use to gamble is not theirs, so when they experience defeat they experience inner pressure to return people's money.

Gambling people with a more responsible budget can definitely control themselves compared to people who spend money on gambling after working hard. For example, they use bonus money or overtime at work to gamble and may not be active gamblers.

Yes it should be like that, I think no matter how big the problem they are experiencing but it is still stupid if they commit suicide or choose that action, however life cannot be paid for with anything because it is so precious. I think it looks like the man has a very weak mentality or and at that time emotions were so uncontrollable that he was desperate to end his life.

That's the danger of gambling if you come with the wrong intentions or that is not recommended, so consider some of the people closest to you including those here who often give some positive advice regarding gambling whether in terms of limits or control, it is very important and if you ignore all of that then maybe you will experience a lot of problems and great pressure so that you cannot control yourself and act out of control, I think this case is the worst and reckless I have ever found.

I understand why people do this. They get this feeling of being overwhelmed with sadness and desperation and see no way out of it. Their mind tries to look for a way out but everywhere they turn they see a problem. It's like when you're a teenager and your first love breaks up with you, you feel like it's the end of the world, like you'll never find a girl like that again and your friends will laugh at you, you'll be always alone, you'll see her with another guy, that guy will laugh at you...

If you just sleep it over, wait a few days, you'll see that there's another day and every new one will be better and easier.

If you guys ever feel like that, start thinking of suicide, know this:
You're always in a better situation than you think you are! When you think all doors are closed for you, it's not true. Some are still open but you can't see them.
You either need someone to help you see them, or you need time to heal and see.

Basically what makes many people commit suicide is because their minds can no longer think clearly, their minds are filled with excessive stress due to losing at gambling and this is all because they are addicted to gambling so they are no longer healthy when betting. Addiction is a big problem in gambling, so before entering the world of gambling, they must first prepare mentally, control, strategy and greed.

Just now I was looking for cases of suicide due to gambling on the internet and the result was that there were a lot of people who committed suicide due to gambling, and on average they were no longer gambling just for entertainment but had used gambling as a place to make money quickly.

Another thing is that we may not really know what the person had committed himself into that still goes along way of being more personal to himself alone which the public are not aware about, but no matter what its still not worth killing self even when the death has not arrived yet, this is one of the reasons some people needs a proper reorientation on gambling and from the way they live their lives.

Suicide is never an option whether it's lose of money, or lose of a loved ones or any kind of lose in life. It certainly never was and never will be. Just like you said one may lose $20,000 or $50,000, but that doesn't mean that's the end of the world for them. I feel bad for that guy. I really do. I am just thinking about his family how hard will it be for them for accepting the truth that their child is no more. May he rests in peace.

To be sure, I don't know exactly what happened to this man.  what happened to his gambling, and what was the problem in his life. I can't draw conclusions based on just one side of the story, like the story in this example thread "a gambler committed suicide after experiencing a loss. We can talk about a conspiracy, or the background of why a person committed suicide, whether this was purely because of the action of losing at gambling. or, there are other causes behind it. Maybe this man had consumed illegal substances excessively, or he had other personal problems. Coincidentally, he gambled, lost, then committed suicide. To be honest, I didn't read the information you shared, but we can already guess  the contents of the story from the link you shared. In every case like this story, there are no concrete facts that form the background or the original story is based on a valid source. So the question is, did this man really commit suicide because he lost gambling. Or, was there another problem? and at the same time after gambling and losing, he ended his life. Well, I think only those closest to him know about it.

Now we refer to your question, "Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?" yeah, of course with various cases and stories, with various different backgrounds. there are times when someone is at their lowest fad point, especially if someone is hoping to win from their gambling. then, in the end he ended it because the problem couldn't be resolved. in other words, he lost a bet where the scenario was to get a big win to cover something, for example a debt. There are also many other stories, after all this is a case that we often encounter. Unfortunately, the media only highlights what they do, let alone headlines. example in this thread, losing at gambling. the truth is, no one knows anyone in the community.

"If yes, then don't ever use such an amount to gamble."  This is very true, but unfortunately that is not the essence. I can't explain it clearly because it's too long. However, what we should realize is, play with what you can afford without harming anyone. also, self-control and understanding. thus, you can play and enjoy the gambling session. if you lose, just end it and continue later.

It’s really very sad news i read this story, although i heard a lot of such incidents even in my country, I think this is the result of excessive greed in the gambling, I don’t know why should he made a bet in such a large amount where if he loses he may lose everything and even his life, because there are no sure win guarantee in gambling so definitely it was big mistake by him because we should to make a bet with affordable amount which will not any bad impact in our life if we will loses.

It is totally unacceptable. How can someone kill himself just because he lost a bet?

This goes to tell that people take gambling as a life and death event. It is not the way it should go.

Gambling has a greater percentage of luck than it has with skill and if you don't consider it a luck thing then your approach to it will become aggressive and extreme.

May his soul rest in peace

The problem lies majorly with us, the individuals who partake in gambling as an activity. What would you have these casinos and regulation bodies do to reduce the rate of suicide in the society due to gambling activities? They already advised you to gamble responsibly; it’s not their fault people fail to heed to their advice.
Perhaps, a campaign on the negative aspects of gambling should be regularly held to discuss with citizens about the dangers and how it affects peoples lives and homes.

On the moment or time on which you are already into that kind of emotion boost or your mind is already that only thinking about winning, then you would really be neglecting out those losses specially into your own money or bankroll. If you do saw that it is depleting or simply having no balance, then your mind will really be telling you that you should really be getting some money for you to play further. This is where someone would really be thinking on getting up some loan specially if they dont already have the money on their pockets which it is really just that suicidal thing to be commited out by someone and this is why you should really be that careful in speaking about taking up some loan because on the time that you wont really be able to repay it then your fucked up.

There is no amount of money that would pressure me to commt suicide, for me we could always earn it back and I wouldn't gamble an amount that I couldn't afford to lose.
We should always remember to "Gamble or Invest only what we could afford to lose".

He imagined only one aspect which was his biggest blunder. Gambling has wins and losses. He may not have tried to understand the consequences of borrowing or loan money. Maybe he forgot it for the time being. Sometimes people don't know what to do when they become too reckless. What I think is that the gambler may have started thinking to himself that he cannot repay the money because of his gambling losses. It may be that he may take such a decision fearing that the lie he resorted to may be revealed to others. But everyone knows that suicide is a worst decision. People with such problems should not engage in gambling with borrowed money.

I think the reason why the suicide rate among newbies are high is due to their lack the funds, they might have the funds but they can't afford to lose which cause them to take their own life, just to escape reality. Some would say why would they do that, remember that our world runs on money, some people could even buy someone's life instead of thinking like that it would much be better to help them, there are a lot of ways to help someone who is suicidal not only financially but emotionally, mentally or physically. Even professionals are prone to this kind of case. Just like in investment, do not stake the money that you can't afford to lose, not only it would affect you financially but it could worsen your situation in many things. You can use limiting yourself to avoid losing that much money.

Imagine a bunch of buddies enjoying casino gambling. Its all fun, they say. One is on the brink, unknowing to the others. They're stuck in a losing cycle. A common scene. We promote gambling's enjoyment but disregard its allure. Despite your good intentions, your reasoning ignores this.

Its bold to compare gambling to sex education. However, are we educating or normalizing? Understanding limits is important, but gambling often blurs them. Realistic, not sanctimonious. Overconfident people are readily swayed by gambling. Lets enjoy gambling, but we must also recognize its dangers.

I hope the soul find rest, this type of death are the painful one that the family will never forget, anytime a close relative or family member want to engage in gambling, even if there is no addiction yet or he has his money to stake and wager, they will be against it and if he want to prove stubborness, they will remind him how their son died miserbly from same gambling he his trying to do. This kind of sad time will forever remain a scar on the family skin because once they mention gambling or sport betting, it will always irk them and would be sad aboyt it.

A great lesson for people that are doing more than their pockets, always going here and there just to stake something because they want to make quick money, this is ow they always end. Under normal circumstances, that amount should have been used to start a business but he risk it and instead of him to swallow the pain, he chosed this path to hurt his life and the family.

It’s true that most of the newbie players is prone on playing without any control that will result to suicide when loss heavily but there some cases too that even old player commit suicide if they lose huge amount since old players is not exempted on suffering huge loses on gambling.

On this story, I believe he is just the newbie since the amount involved is too small that needs to resort to suicide to to cope on loses.

On average, those who commit suicide are not true gamblers or professionals in their field, most of those who commit suicide are beginner gamblers who become gambling addicts because they do not limit the budget they have, use money for living needs, not money that is ready to be used until In the end it gave him a new problem, he had to borrow money from a loan shark and then get an evil loan shark.

I know that suicide cases are only carried out because of pressure which makes him increasingly frustrated, making his life no longer meaningful so he decides to end his life because he cannot pay debts or recover the money he has lost previously or it could be important assets that are sold because his gambling behavior is not controlled and he limits his budget properly. This should be an important lesson for beginners to understand every risk of gambling such as losing.
