Apparently this 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 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.
The latter committed suicide perhaps because he was unable to accept what he had lost. And maybe he is finally very weak so he took such a risk to get big fast with all his last funds and after losing this money he got depressed and he got very worried about his future and lost confidence in himself. Due to which he decided to commit suicide. But his decision was wrong. So I would always advise to invest in gambling only as much as you can afford otherwise something bad might happen to you too.

To begin with, if a person lost money that was not his own, people will try to collect the debt from his relatives. Therefore, it is more logical to sell one's organs - this way one can somehow compensate for the loss. And suicide does not solve anything, except that the soul of the suicide will wander the earth for some time.
You're right, we cannot run away from our problems, we finds solutions to them, now that he commit suicide on himself, he just put the family in two devastating conditions, the loss of their brother and the burden of repaying back the debt he left behind, he chose to die by killing himself even before they could attempts killing him, i don't think I've seen a case of killing someone because of something related to this before.
You have a point, the family he left may have more problems because of the debts he left before he died (if there were any) there is also a possibility that his debtors will ask something in return. There are a lot of wonders in the world and we cannot hold the person's mind. I do hope his family were okay.
It was his fault though, He didn't even think about what the possible outcomes would be if he got into that gambling habit. In the end he became addicted to gamble and it's even worse because he has lost his right mind and has instead thought of killing himself just because he lost that amount of money.
There is no loss which can be justified for taking own life, deeply saddened to see such disturbing news and the wort part is the fact that it's not the first time we have seen such news. I don't usually post in Gambling section but I think one shouldn't gamble more than what they can afford to live, there are some basic rules let it be for future trading or gambling that people only invest the amount which doesn't affect them financially as it's a gamble and our livelihood shouldn't be placed at risk.
It should be known to all that gambling is risky and therefore they should think many times before investing and playing with any money, as the loss will be for the gambler and the win shall be for the gambler too. Life is more important than anything but sometimes people become too greedy, take too bold steps and then things go out of control, then they have no option but to take bold steps like suicide and others.
It's my humble request to all those who gamble to never gamble more than you can lose and nothing matters more than your life as one can go from zero to millions but life cannot be revived.
This has been told to gamblers many times and the ones who are active here on bitcointalk know this golden rule very well that do not gamble with money which you can't afford to lose but when we gamble, we become too emotional and greedy that we forget everything and make such moves, they cost us our precious belonging of our lives.

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.
Apparently, this is one decision I always advise people not to make no matter the situation they find themselves, or neither should they gamble huge sum on any game no matter how much people claim it to be 100% sure odd. (i.e Gamble an amount they can not afford to lose). Because though the news online may be parading that "He committed suicide after losing #2million to gambling). But moreever, they never could have said the entire whole truth, while he did what he did. Because at times you never can tell, that #2million might have been a borrowed money which he intended to pay back with interest, of which after losing the game and knowing fully well he can't afford to pay back his borrowed money, then decided to just commit suicide. Hence, the two lesson I think we should learn from this is;
1. Never take a loan to gamble
2. Never gamble more than you can always afford to lose
I've heard of people's shops, warehouses with goods worth millions of dollars completely burnt down and they thought that was the end. Some how, they started a fresh and they got back on their feet.
I don't know the circumstances surrounding the demise of the gambler, whether it was all he had that he used to gamble or it was a borrowed money, but no amount lost should warrant taking your own life. As long as there's life there's hope. He would have learnt his lessons and moved on.
After the complete loss,one can rebuild their own business using their self confidence and self belief.Like wise,the gambler also can able to regain their loss money in the gambling site.Sometimes the gambler are forced to get some loan to do the next game in the gambling because of continuous loss in the gambling site.If the gambler had the good potential game,he can able to regain their loss of their past.But if the gambler is new,this loan strategy is not good enough to take risk of the loan money in gambling site.
Just sad seeing how people are suffering from their own decisions. No one pushed us to gamble, it is with our own will and initiative especially with the amount we will be wagering. I am not blaming this man and also others who had the same experience but to emphasize this as a lesson; setting limitation is not a bad thing. It is better to accept a loss of 50% of your total bankroll than to lose everything. We are all prone to negative feelings such as regrets after a loss simply because we're just humans. Best thing is to always set a 'stop loss' to anything and to change our minds to not rely too much with your luck. Always be mindful that there is a tendency to lose which should be enough as a warning. Bet huge and you'll earn big, yes, but oonly if you are lucky enough no matter what odds is present.
The gambler after the loss,whether he continues the game or quit the game by his own opinion.No one will influence him in the way to the next game after the loss or win.The gamblers automatically get some temptations to play next game after the win in the gambling site.
More or less all of us are related to online gambling in particular but I don't know losing gambling and dying but really it's madness. However after losing money in gambling, the temporary nature of the self changes and then any kind of bad behavior comes to mind. But i go to face the situation when i lose more in gambling then i stop playing. I give some money to the family first and gamble with the rest so even if i lose i find it bearable. Usually society blames gambling more in such incidents but you have to understand that no one is forcing you to gamble.
Are mine in sane to take my life just because of amount less than $3k that I lost in gambling?
That's why in gambling we need to be prepared on the amount we used in staking otherwise it would lead to serious damage in our lives did he thought he would win such game to have gambling with #2.5m maybe he applied greed or possibly he went ahead to borrow such money to gamble. Gambling and borrowing is a two bad thing come together, anyone who involves himself in this such act are the person who will want to take his life because he has imagine how much he would earn from the gambling but on the contrary it went against him causing him to terminate his life thinking is the best option, okay what if it was his house he sold does it mean that he would go burn down the casino or gambling office?

From the information reaching me, he borrowed #1.2 million or $1.2k from a friend with the promise of returning the funds when he wins the bet. He preferred ending his life than facing his debtors. What a terrible choice. I don't think anything in this life can make me take my own life. He lost hope of living out of desperation to win the best which was cut off as a result of his great loss. I can't imagine that a businessman of his caliber stopped so low as to see gambling as an investment opportunity that he even had to go borrow to invest in it. He literally failed the life test of endurance and keeping hope alive in the face of temptations and adversity.
Gambling in moderation should be adopted by everyone who wishes himself well in this life. I even hope that one day, strong government or gambling association policies can help reduce considerably the excesses that people showcase in the act of gambling. People need to be properly sensitized that gambling isn't a solution to poverty and isn't to be focused on when you need money. Its a means of mental relief and fun and not an occupation or an investment.
Still, that amount of money sounds rather small in my opinion, compared to the actions he decided to take... It leads me to believe even further there was something more involved on his mental situation or even financially. For example, the media and your sources could suggest he had taken such loan for a value of a lil bit over 1000$, however, there is a good chance he actually acquired debt for even more money than that and with different people, we may not be hearing or reading about it because the news are not informed enough.

Also, since he decided to ask for a loan to gamble, it is probable he had already sold all his assets and means of life (becuase he was a businessman). Regardless of the circumstances of all of this, we must respect him and also feel sorry for him and the people he is leaving behind. At least, he was a kind and sound in mind not to harm others physically before taking such a desperate thing, in a similar situation, others who cannot tell right from wrong would have lashed against other innocent people, before killing themselves.

For people who can't manage deep emotions and are easily fainted, gambling is obviously not meant for them. If they won't committ suicide, they resort into committing crimes, so definitely both are not good for them. And they should avoid gambling at all means to save theirselves from the traps of gambling.
However, if ask if there's amount that makes me think to committ suicide, I think there's none. My life is more precious than any amount of money, and I won't let myself being compromised just because of gambling. Gambling is just for fun, it should not be taken too seriously.
I agree with what you say. Gambling isn't about life and death, it's just between winning and losing, so set the amount of bets you're going to bet well.However, if ask if there's amount that makes me think to committ suicide, I think there's none. My life is more precious than any amount of money, and I won't let myself being compromised just because of gambling. Gambling is just for fun, it should not be taken too seriously.
Gambling is just fun, if we're lucky we'll get more money, otherwise we've been playing for fun. So just use a little bit of your money.
These kind of cases are actually quite rampant in my area as I hear so many stories of people actually ending their life which like you said is not an option whatsoever because before ever you involved yourself in gambling you would have the knowledge that gambling isn't something that's profitable at your every try and I think nothing in this world guarantee that, so everyone should know how to handle a little defeat, I mean if everyone ran to the option of ending their life over loses they have enquired then I think the human race would be really looking at the verge of extinction.
Gambling is very funny and highly unpredictable, you'll come up with a game you'd term SURE GAME, and if you're to be asked you'd almost swear with your life that this game is going to play in your favor and then out of nowhere you'll meet disappointment and then you wonder how it happened, every gambler should know this and prepare for it. Gambling can disappoint you in moments you don't expect amd also favour you in the least moment you expect too so it'd be sooo wrong to just assume that everything would go as planned all the time. I'm sure that guy had this in mind before going to gamble then she wouldn't have put so much trust in gambling as a last like of option. Because I'm pretty sure that he saw gambling as his last hope and when his last hope finally disappointed him, he felt he was left with no other option other than to take his own life and just end it all out of depression. Things like this should serve as a lesson to other gamblers who put so much trust in gambling and see gambling as a way out of any situation they find themselves because they may meet disappointment at any time.
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.
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.
No matter how difficult my condition is, I will never think about committing suicide. In every problem you think you have, there is always a solution, so the best thing to do is to sit down and figure out the alternative solution to the problem, rather than committing suicide. I can’t just imagine myself thinking about committing suicide, I don’t really know what people committing suicide are always thinking before doing that.
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.
Gamble what you can afford to lose they thought it's a joke, a gamble addict should never take this words for granted, my first question is why did he choose to gamble with that kind of money instead why not create a business, common reasons why people will always say the rich are successful gambler than the poor, the difference is the mindset no rich man will choose to gamble with this kind of money instead he will build his business. I read the story yesterday on IG and I was speechless, the actual story here is he borrowed the money and after the lose he could not pay back, just imagine the risk he took borrowing that kind of money with 2× interest, am speechless although everyone seems different and everyone has their own way of handling situations, he took those loans thinking he can pay back when he wins unknowingly to him no one can predict 100% right when it comes to gambling.
Who should will blame for this ?? Gambling?? No!! people are already aware what Gambling is like and they still continue to risks their money to make money by all means. People should understand gambling that winning is by luck when losing money it is everything .
Unfortunately people are gambling for money, they do know lose is inevitable, but they always hope their last bet will able to recover all of their previous losses. That's why people who ran out of money in gambling don't mind to taking out a loan to gamble more with their last money.So many people gamble and lose money even everything they have and are homeless but they never kill themselves. He was just not fit for that pressure, it's definitely not just that gambling is the reason for taking his life. There is much more to it.
He is a businessman as said in the link and most probably he is afraid that the world will see him in a position that people will look him down.
Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?
If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

No matter how much he loses, if he has good personality fundamentals he will take more mature actions, but if he has a bad personality then that's how he will solve his problems.
