Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

I don't like this question that you have asked. I do not think it is a right question to ask. Killing oneself by suicide is not something that occurs to everyone no matter what loss that we have been faced with. What legacy is he living behind for his kids or siblings that he is a coward who lived an irresponsible life. No sugar coating it.

Casinos have a section on their website to help persons struggling with gambling addiction. If they have read by people committing suicide then, they should review that section and add a "How to deal with loss" section too.

There is nothing wrong with this question and we should not be sainter than the saint itself. As a matter of fact, this kind of discussion is more needed on this forum and everywhere else where gambling or addiction means are being discussed, no one prays for such unfortunate things but it will be a constant reminder for us to know our limits and show restraints at some points. This will also encourage people not to gamble with the amount that can cause them harm or to take drastic measures because of losses. It has the capacity to even make some people rethink the drastic measure even if a painful amount is lost. When there is life, there is hope, and I have read more of such similar encouragement on this thread. You see, trying to avoid hearing everything out always doesn't help us to prepare for the worst, and preparing for the worst makes us stronger. This we should know.

Besides, do you know why they now encourage parents to teach their children "sex education" at a young age? Everyone in the psychological/mental field also supports this not because it's meant to corrupt the children but to educate them on the worst, and the dos and don'ts. This is what this topic is passing across as well, it only depends on how you view it. And if you show your bitter indignation about some lifestyles, so will others learn from it, and might help their mental state when, they, too want to make some drastic moves that are negative.

And could be that while vetting on taking that loanhe had told the loan company he has a business establishment and wnats to use the money to put into his business to expand supply instead he used it to gamble, activity that is without certainty. I am suspecting (just a suspicion though) that someone must have tip him about doing that, using the loan money as to have it quickly double on a small odd that seem to have good outlook of playing but bad luck stroke instead.

He knows that nobody is going to give him a loan if he tells them he wants to use the money to gamble, so maybe he told them he needed a loan to expand his business, and after getting the loan, maybe he decided to gamble with it just to increase the money, but he doesn’t know that gambling is not meant to increase money. When gambling, you can easily lose your money and you can win. Don’t take a loan and gamble with it, hoping things will go right. Maybe that was the mindset the guy was having, and things didn’t go as he planned, so he decided to commit suicide.

First of all, allow me to tell you about something that happened in my environment.
With the existence of online gambling nowadays, many people know this and also do this and in my opinion this is the fact that many people gamble online to the point that their lives change drastically. I have neighbors who have children who are still young and quite mature, with their current social interactions, they are always updated on the internet and this makes them familiar with online gambling and this young man quickly understood it, one day he lost all the money he had and also his savings because he was gambling, and when this young man ran out of money he forced his parents to ask him for other reasons than to gamble, this was repeated many times so that his parents became suspicious of him, and finally his parents no longer gave him money. money to him and finally this young man took out an online loan where this young man applied for a loan which was not small in the agreed terms and would be returned at the specified time. Not long after, this young man again ran out of money where the money from his initial loan had run out. used for gambling, it didn't stop him from making an online loan again but it was different from the first one, he used other access that was different from the first one, so everything kept repeating like this and left this young man in a lot of debt.

and one day this young man was approached by several people who said they were from an online loan company whose aim was to collect the debt that this young man had incurred, this family was disappointed, angry, sad because what this young man had done had made things difficult for him. all his family and this also happened many times because this young person took out loans not only from one company, and one time this young person had no news for a whole day and his parents were worried about their child because he had not been home for a whole day, and the next day This young man was found hanging himself in a garden not far from his house, but rarely did anyone pass by the garden so no one knew that this young man would commit suicide.
Suddenly my neighborhood was busy because of this incident, and from here I could see firsthand the dangerous impact of online gambling which could turn someone into trouble in all sorts of ways. It can also make them crazy or stressed if they don't have self-control. and also I think that this young man from my neighbor hanged himself because he was addicted to gambling, and took the wrong action by taking out a large loan and he couldn't pay off all his debts and maybe he became stressed and in the end he ended his life. So in my opinion, don't be careless with gambling, because the bad effects are enormous if we are addicted to gambling.

and in my opinion, if you really want to do gambling, just do it naturally don't expect more from gambling because this is just a game not a source of money. so don't do something too much because it can bring disaster later. enjoy gambling don't and overdo it.

From the new development we are getting from a close source it seems this young man that losed this money also took the money as a loan in the hope of doubling it and returning the money back to the loan company in no time. He had his own plans whereas gambling was having another plan too different from his. It is most likely that people that took huge amount of loan money to gamble and lost it are the people that usually commit suicide after losing the money, because if you check very well it is not always so with those persons that uses their own money to gamble and loses it no matter how huge the amount is they will only sub, feel a bit depressed but rarely take their life since the money lost is there's and not a loan money. It is that thought of how to pay back a huge loan money that make these sets of persons option to taking their own life as an escape route. Unfortunately it's their family that layer suffer the double loss.

people who have a short mind might commit suicide because the pressure is too much for them, even though all of that is caused by themselves, they should be able to restrain themselves with the pressure they create, and take responsibility for everything they do, by committing suicide I don't think it solves the problem, because the company that lent him the money will not consider it paid off even if he commits suicide, the company can just throw the responsibility on his family like you said.

from the beginning it is clear the bad effects of gambling and they should be able to accept it or the good thing is that they can avoid the effects of gambling by gambling reasonably not excessively, if they gamble excessively then they must be prepared for the risks involved. someone who is stressed out by gambling because of the pressure of gambling should be able to take responsibility for everything properly, suicide or running away will not solve everything just like that.

First, it was a foolish act by him, and he didn't demonstrate the character of a real or responsible gambler. There's no way a real gambler stakes an amount that they know will lead them to commit suicide if they lose. Real gamblers are usually aware that the results from gambling are not even 80% certain, which is why they must only gamble with the amount they are willing to lose without emotional problems.

I cannot commit suicide if I lose in gambling, and the reason is that I will not be so pushy to become very insensible and stake the amount that will affect me very badly.

Honestly, I am very sad to learn about this unfortunate incident, this is one of those things that happen in gambling and it just gives gambling a bad name and make it look like a taboo for anyone to engage in it, why on earth will a full grown man like this take his own life simply because of a loss of $3000, people loss up to $20,000, $50,000 in gamblimg and still move on with their normal lives, if $3000 was too much for him to lose in gambling, why did he stake it?

This is such a bad news, and I hope that we all can learn even more lessons from this, always gamble with not more than you can afford to lose, gambling is risky, to be on the safer side, gambling primary for fun and let the profit be secondary, this is something Ive seen other users say here, and I am still joining them to say same thing.

May his soul find rest.

This one of the reasons why the gambling thread is always discussing issues concerning gambling while educating many people about gambling. Sometime ago, someone introduced a topic on "gambling responsibly" which many people contributed their respective opinions about gambling responsibly and how a gambler should not exceed his gambling limit. I've always said this on this thread that if a gambler can't gamble responsibly or can not control his emotions after losing money in gambling, it's absolutely unwise for such person to even engage in gambling activities in the first place because he's very unlikely to manage his emotional feelings when he loses big.

According to the news I heard about the incident of the guy that committed suicide after losing a lot of money in gambling, more than 50% of the total amount of money he lost in gambling that made him took his own life was borrowed and it was borrowed after he went bankrupt by losing all his money to gambling and in his quest to get back the already lost money, he decided to borrow money to gamble more with the hope that he's gonna win big at the end of the day but unfortunately for him, he lost all to gambling and became depressed immediately. He couldn't manage his emotions about his huge loss abd decided to take his own life.

May his soul rest in peace and I wish others will learn from his experience.

It might really be that repetitive or something that would turn out to be casual when we do speak about discussion or correlated things on which it wont really be that totally useless at all on which people specially newbies will really be finding out these feedbacks and opinions to be really that relevant specially if we do speak about gambling addiction on which these words would really be giving out that kind of awareness on which it would really be that helpful for them to avoid gambling addiction and possible these kind of accidents and thats why it is really that good that we do have this forum on which it would really be something helpful
if someone do really have some time to read up.

It is really just that sad to hear up these kind of stories on where someone do took out his life just because of gambling or severe debt problems. Yes, it might that simple to say since we arent on their
shoes but we do know that in each problem, there would really be that a solution to that and this is why it would really be that better that we should be thinking up first
and trying out to assess things well before making decisions. Life is precious and think up about your family or loved ones. Problems do always have a solution.

I don't think it will give gambling a bad name in the sense that gambling took a life of a person. I guess no, this does not happen. In fact the gambler himself is responsible for what he did. There are moderate gamblers too who gamble for years and years and yet they will never dare to take such steps which may cost them their lives.

Yes, this incident can be a lesson for other gamblers, especially the ones who are new and do not know how far this gambling can take them and how it can influence our emotions to take such bold steps.

Quote from: mvdheuvel1983 on December 13, 2023, 06:57:41 PM

The crazy part is that gambling addiction seems so harmless at first which for this business man may have been because your so blind to everything around you that all your focused on is trying to win big, double your money or trying to recover an earlier loss not knowing that everything around you is falling apart little by little it starts to affect your mood, your family and even your job and in this case here, your business. It’s a crazy world to live the gamblers life.

Really people don't get blind to it actually but it is that same greed that make them not to consider the losing part of it. When gamblers want to bet that kind of huge money, they are already calculating their profit and what kind of car they want to buy after their winning and they don't look sideways to compare the challenges of losing or the the possibility of it but they calculate only the profit and what they want to do with the money. Some gamblers even start taking friends to hotel to drink when they feel nothing will stop their last game. So it is not about being blind but the greed that engulf gamblers.

Sometimes greed makes gamblers unable to think realistically, they cannot prioritize the risk of losing that they will bear, so they only think about the profits they will get. This is what makes gamblers feel like they can win gambling easily, even though betting large amounts will actually drain the money you have if you can't control your expenses.
When they realize that the money they used has run out, they can only realize that they have exceeded their limits and caused big losses. This incident can be a big pressure for the gambler and they cannot control their emotions so that the gambler thinks about recovering their losses by gambling. Moreover, if in the end they cannot recover it and the losses become unstoppable then their psychology will be disturbed and cause someone to commit suicide due to their own fault.
Therefore, be careful when placing bet, never gamble if you don't want your money to be lost and think clearly, no matter how serious your problems is, there will always be a solution and never use killing thorns as a solution to solve the problem.

Understanding the risks and accepting whatever will happen or what you will experience especially in terms of risk is the most important key before someone gets involved in this activity. That's right don't let you make this gambling a place to vent all your problems in real life, it's too dangerous and the impact may be greater than your problems in the real world. Honestly, lately I have seen quite a lot of people who end up tragically due to the impact of gambling, yes the average case is like this, they come with the intention of calming themselves or escaping from personal problems and then make gambling a place to vent everything, but the opposite happens, instead of getting calm but what happens is even more problems and this is much worse.

On the other hand, you come with poor mental and psychological health as a result of your personal problems and if you instead enter into gambling activities which basically require a lot of calmness and responsibility then obviously what happens is that your condition gets worse. In fact, there are quite a number of causes that can make a person enter gambling and one of them is such a case of this kind of release and lack of understanding makes them uncontrollable because of losing money. That's right on the other hand the pressure of losing large amounts is overwhelming and it's one of the reasons someone commits suicide, it makes sense.

Not all gamblers are able to accept the defeat that happened to them, many also have the heart to end their lives because of the pressure of the defeat, but the percentage of gamblers who commit suicide is actually very small, in the last few years there have been only a few cases, although this is the case. This must be given special attention, I feel sorry for the family that has been left behind, I'm sure the family is really shocked by this news, I'm also saddened by this news.

There’s a lot of suicide incidents happened in the past in relation to gambling, and the casinos and regulation should do something for this or else the numbers will continue to grow.

This is the problem when you are too emotional doing gambling and also spending debt money, addiction also the top reason for this. Again, if you are a gambler always know how to control your emotion, stay within your limit and avoid being greedy because it can lead you to addiction and that’s the start of bigger problems.

Each jurisdiction have laws implied on casino that's why they need to pass on and government is doing some efforts to fight against addiction or at least sharing some knowledge about gambling awareness and its bad effect. I know some might get a hard time to locate this information but if we are just eager to dig up this for sure we can find it posted somewhere. Also its up for the person on how he handle his self and if he basically decide to be in bad situation then provably that he will end up like this since he can't take the consequences of the action and decisions he do. So to be responsible gambler people always follow the plan they set on always gamble beyond their limitation and don't exceed with that.

They arent responsible for those suicides yet they've been not forced to play gambling in the first place on which it is really just that too conclusive for us to making them blame into these incidents
which we know that they are the ones who do make out such actions and when it comes to addiction to gambling then this is something that always falls down on someones responsibility and not
on the platforms on where they are playing.It isnt really just that right that we would really be pointing out fingers on them as they are just only giving out such leisure or service into those
people who are seeking for entertainment. It is really just that on certain individuals actions on why they do really end up like that.

is a true live event happened in my State this week and almost everyone is talking about it. About a young man that killed himself after a gamble loss, he even left a message for his family and friends before taking his life. But I wonder why should someone take his own life just because he lost #2.5 million to gambling an amount equivalent to just about $3k.

I also saw the news on one of my local websites. I felt bad after seeing it. From the news that I saw, I heard the guy was a businessman and he took a loan. Then he went ahead to go gamble with the loan, but unfortunately he lost the bet, and he decided to kill himself. I don’t know why you should take a loan and gamble with it, the guy is even having a business, he should have just used the loan that he took to boost his business, but he prefers to gamble with the money, and he lost.

And could be that while vetting on taking that loanhe had told the loan company he has a business establishment and wnats to use the money to put into his business to expand supply instead he used it to gamble, activity that is without certainty. I am suspecting (just a suspicion though) that someone must have tip him about doing that, using the loan money as to have it quickly double on a small odd that seem to have good outlook of playing but bad luck stroke instead.

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

No matter the amount I lose on gambling, I can never think about committing suicide. I do always say that suicide is not an option, and instead of me thinking about committing suicide, I will rather stop gambling.

Rationally there shouldn't be any amount that sounds worthy of making someone take his own life all because he had loss it so stupidly. I have this friend a trader, whenever he experiences huge losses with his trades and upset about it what he does is to call one of his many girlfriend's and vent the anger on her in bed and that has been his own simple way of keeping things cool for himself. I think people should find a better way of settling their fears/anger/bitterness instead of opting for a life threatening decision.

I can relate to his loss but taking your life is something unimaginable and unjustifiable to do. No matter the regrets suicide isn't an option to be taking as a solution , you are only leaving bigger pains behind for your loved ones.

This is just another reminder to we all gamblers that no bet is sure and guaranteed, don't ever use an amount of money you are not comfortable to lose just because you feel convicted in your mind that the game will play as predicted. There's no such thing as sure bet in gambling.

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

It is really unfortunate for this kind of situations to still occur even with the wide publication about the fact that you should only gamble with amount that you can to stand to lose without regretting. As a gambler the last thing that should be in your mind is greed, once you allow greed come into play you will begin to have situations like this, This person could have choose to have staked with a lesser amount of money that he could afford to lose, but he just wanted to double his millions withing hours.

This is nonsense why would a man killed himself because he loss 2.5m in a gambling bet then what was he thinking? Was he thinking that he would win all the time? Or was he a first comer in the gambling industry? Even at that he would have known that gambling is a game in which one can win and loss so there was no big deal in it to take one's life. Though it is not easy to have 2.5m in the country but even at that he was worked for it and if he is still alive he would have gotten more than that. Now that he has taken his life what has he benefits?

I am suspecting that it was greedy that made him to loss all the money at once. If not what prompted him to use all his money to play the gamble? I don't think I will kill myself because of money. He was also afraid of being a poor man again in the society.

The man failed to understand that a responsible gambler should only gamble what he or she can afford to lose but he risk more that he can afford to lose (like bitten more than he can chew).
However, I don't think I can gamble if I have such money because I am gambling because 9f profits and not the other way round, and still I have limits, I can not gamble more than what I have estimated for gambling.
Although, it is not everyone that is so disciplined to control themselves even when they know that they are going way to far in gambling. The 2.5 million naira the gambler lost while gambling is also a small money because it can not buy back the life of the gambler that has taken it by him self, 2.5 Million is just about 2 thousand dollars and a lot of gamblers here have gambled with more than that amount of money but they didn't take their life by them self. So I am just trying to say that the gambler that killed him self because of the 2.5 million that he lost while gambling is not a responsible gambler and still he's not disciplined or have a self control, he allowed the love of bet to overcome him.

This is just another reminder to we all gamblers that no bet is sure and guaranteed, don't ever use an amount of money you are not comfortable to lose just because you feel convicted in your mind that the game will play as predicted. There's no such thing as sure bet in gambling.

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

Most casinos always advocates responsible gambling because they are very much aware of how much ruin it can bring to an individual in the Case of losses but then some persons do feel they are better risk takers so they just forget about been responsible enough and just go ahead to take in calculated risk which in some cases end up in misery.

Staking what one can afford to loose has always been the advice most persons give to gamblers but sadly greed will not let them heed, I think this was a case of greed because if you know this is such an amount you wouldn't be comfortable loosing, there's no need of trying to using such amount knowing too well that gambling is luck dependent and there's no certainty with gambling. Another possible situation could be bringing your personal needs and problem to casino, when you hope to solve a particular need with gambling proceeds, you end up disappointed and things like this could happen, there's no amount I will loose to the casino that will lead me to taking my life, none and never.

Not all gamblers are able to accept the defeat that happened to them, many also have the heart to end their lives because of the pressure of the defeat, but the percentage of gamblers who commit suicide is actually very small, in the last few years there have been only a few cases, although this is the case. This must be given special attention, I feel sorry for the family that has been left behind, I'm sure the family is really shocked by this news, I'm also saddened by this news.
