Another sad news about a person who committed suicide because he lost at gambling. This seems to have become a serious problem in society, especially for those who often gamble, even with large amounts of money. And this is a lesson for us not to take too big a risk if we can't afford it. I don't know what was going on in his mind until he ended his life by committing suicide.
I don't want to commit suicide just because of gambling. That's why I try to gamble with the money I can afford. Losing $20-$30 in gambling is already a big loss of money and it makes me sad, especially if I lose a lot of money like that person.

Hopefully this incident will not happen to all of us who have taken up gambling, therefore always think that what is at stake is not our only way to achieve success. I also hope that this incident can be used as a lesson and warning to continue trying to control myself as much as possible. Suicide is the most terrible way maybe the person feels frustrated because the money he bet is his last money. Remember money can be found again and life cannot. Don't think it's all over. And for anyone please make this a serious reminder gamble with a healthy mind not with expectations as a way to get rich quickly.
Whether we do like it or not on which there would really be those type of people whose really that too sensitive when it comes to things on which they would really be that too mindful on the money that they had lost in gambling. This is why it would really be good that you should really having that good self control specially with your emotions because if you dont then you would really be ending up on thinking things on which it might lead up into that suicide ideas. People do really usually be making this kind of thing to be their last option as if that problems would really be going away without eventhinking about on how precious life is. Although it is really that hard considering that we arent in his shoes because having those huge losses in those amounts arent something that
someone could pay in a short time.
This is so sad and may his soul rest in peace. This guy acted so selfishly without considering how his family members will feel. It's possible he borrowed the money to place the bet possibly he has been assured that the be is a sure game. I wonder how many lives are lost out there on daily basis that are not reported due to gambling. Gambling is for the strong and not for children. It's obvious that the guy is not matured enough. There is no amount lost in betting that will make me take my life.
That is why we should not come up with goals that are not recommended in gambling such as getting involved to earn, lately I see very many people who see gambling as a place to earn, I don't know what is the reason but what is certain is that they come because they are encouraged and motivated from people who managed to get a big win without them knowing how much the person has spent before managing to get such a win.
Wrong thinking and misunderstanding makes you always overreact because you are tempted by something that looks like tempting, and after that without realizing that you have entered the addiction phase where you always put greed when you win and curiosity when you lose. I think this is a really dangerous addiction cycle, there is no set time limit as long as you still carry that mindset, but what is certain is that you will continue to suffer tremendous pressure from the losses you always experience, emotions and depression are certain and I think some of these things make people desperate to commit suicide like the case described by the OP.

Having this large amount takes too much seriously, The reason why the first thing is you don't need to gamble all the money you can't afford to lose. Gambling is not just a work that there's an assurance after a couple of games you can gain money no it does not work the same thing like that, Condolences to the family it was a really hard time for him for sure still there's still a possible solution if he didn't commit that life time mistake.
I read his letter on Facebook and comments from the Facebook group, many have felt he only cut his life short by himself and not fulfilling what he was suppose to. That is the fact, he killed himself for less than $4,000. I don't even think there is any amount of money worthy for someone to take their life. So it is appalling to hear such bizarre action from a young man.
Therefore, it is always a lesson for other gamblers that if you want to take huge risk then you have to understand the risk involve in it, so that you don't end up like the dead young man that has caused his family more sorrow. Play as you can bear the loss, don't over bet, be reasonable with your bankroll.
Well I think to commit suicide is a very strong decision that only few people can do. I think it is more of phycological than physical action.

Poor Soul, it is very sad to hear that because of gambling, he decided to take his own life.
Maybe that's why he committed suicide because maybe all the pressure, fear and the struggle of handling how he was going to pay all his debts came together. Honeslty in my preference when you are addicted to gambling, you will do everything you can to bet on the game. As I observed most of those who play and gamble are in debt, so maybe he thought of committing suicide because he was no longer in the right frame of mind and taking his life was the only way to solve his problems.
If I were in his shoes maybe I would also experience how difficult he went through, I mean mentally and physically exhausted is not that easy. There is also a possibility that you will encounter a fight because we will interact with different people when it comes to gambling, of course.
“We should remember that no amount of money lost is worth sacrificing one’s life.” I forgot where I read this quote but it helps me to remember that life is more valuable so treasure it.

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?
If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.
Sadly, we just found out that gambling contributes to some mental health issues where some gamblers can't take depression and stress make their mind out of control. Perhaps, this is not the first time I have heard this news, it happens many times. That is why I just hope that all of us can control our emotions and practice being responsible gambler who knows what is good for us.
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.
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.

It's sad to know that there is someone who committed suicide because of losing money in gambling. We can't deny the fact that all of us has a different ways on how to deal our problem, but this one is the worst case scenario which I can't imagine that I will do it if I'm in his situation. Stress, depression and lot of problems can lead us to do this kind of thing and it is very alarming, sometimes those people we see laughing and smiling but deep inside, they are carrying unsaid thoughts so it's better to check some of our family members and friends. This is an eye opener to those gambler who doesn't have a control in their spending habit, ya'll should know in your mind that always gamble what we are afford to lose so that we don't have such a big problem in the future.

He probably entered into gambling for the wrong reasons and not prepared for what is involved in gambling. From the income level of his country, $3k is enough to set up a business like POS, that could have been fetching him profits , from the profit he could finance his gambling. Unfortunately, he put everything he had into gambling without any caution and taking into account the risk associated with gambling. The first thing every gambler must do is to establish the main stream of income first and let gambling just be another one probably taken as a means of earning passive income. Assuming this young man have an established business that guarantees a steady flow of finance, he wouldn't have killed himself. Taking his life was not the right thing to do. 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.
There have been a lot of post in this board about bankroll management. Those post should be taking seriously because that is a key part of gambling. Just like you said, there is no sure bet anywhere, we must learn to accept this fact so that the journey will not be frustrating. 
I feel sorry for the death of such a young person. As a few others have already mentioned, it's best not to make any assumptions or jump to any conclusions about someone we don't know. We weren't in his shoes, and he was possibly suffering and battling demons inside him to go ahead with such an act. Gambling addiction was probably just the tip of the iceberg; he was probably suffering from other mental illnesses such as depression, and gambling was his escape that turned into addiction, just like alcoholism. The loss of his money was likely the last straw, and he couldn't handle it anymore and committed suicide.
Negative events are unpredictable, and every individual may act differently; thus, it's impossible to foresee how someone will react. Just because we won't go to extreme measures doesn't mean that someone else won't.

I'm glad you wrote about it in this forum, especially on the gambling discussion board, the more threads discussing this will help the forum community to avoid what is called gambling addiction, everything definitely starts from gambling addiction which makes someone feel like they are losing their mind by playing beyond their limits and using money. that should not be used, for example money borrowed from loan sharks.
But I don't know the clear reason from this story. Maybe there is a reason why he had to end his life only with money which is actually not too big for anyone and maybe he can get it again, but it seems like there is something we don't know much about the case in this thread, a lot There was a case in my country where a man committed suicide because he had a debt to an evil loan shark where he felt threatened by the debt collector which made him mentally depressed and finally killed himself, I think it is possible that the case is the same because of mental pressure.
I hope this case will be a lesson for all of us as gamblers not to gamble using money that we don't need to spend, for example money that is very important for our lives, it's better to gamble using money that we don't use and cold money.

It was such a sad news because he has brought pain to his family and loved ones. His problem was that he was addicted to gambling and gambled more than he could afford to lose. His gambling addiction even led him to access loans to fuel his gambling habits. We can assume that he caused the problem for himself and wouldn't have killed himself. He needed help but couldn't but he couldn't get one. Maybe he was hiding his addiction or nobody cared about him. If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.
His society also failed him because he complained that he became addicted to gambling because of unemployment. The government has failed to live up to the responsibility of providing for its citizens. However, had no excuse to kill himself because there would have been other means to settle his debt.
Well honestly, I don't think anyone can put himself in somebody else's shoes when we are talking about suicide. We have no idea what is going on inside someone's mind that leads to such an act. Who knows if that amount of money is all he has, or if that is just another driving point for him to end his life. This is not the first case that someone's life has gone to waste due to gambling, that's why all things have to be taken in moderation. It's just sad that someone has to come to that solution to ease pain or suffering one is going through.
While death or suicide is really devastating specially from family and friends yet this is not a good act for every gamblers , this shows how weak a person is .
and also I remember same issue in my country years back when A gambler
have burned a casino and killed couple of people after trying to rob the chips cashier .
Sad that gamblers ending their life and others just because of their losses.
Some people are really fragile, and no one probably expected that this person would commit suicide. He may be weak in our sight, but I can imagine maybe this guy always experiences a consecutive loss every time he gambles. Since it is related to gambling, he may have nothing to talk to about his struggles with gambling. That kind of situation is really hard and can make any individual think negatively. and also I remember same issue in my country years back when A gambler

What happened to the gamblers who ended up like this is unfortunate. However, as a gambler, we should realize and think deeply about how long they keep their problems to themselves which brings them to the level of being capable of doing such things.

It's not the amount but the weakness of the character that leads a gambler to commit suicide, they think they are weak and live in disappointment they lose their motivation to live because they think they are useless. 
Tragedy, but I dont think this is related to gambling. Gambling was only one of the triggers that forced him to made such decision. Imo, decision to make a suicide has a collective context. People dont take such decisions randomly and instantly. They think about it during some period of time. Make a list of pros and cons, think if this would help or harm others; if it can be said like that.
I find it stupid to die because of money. Money is a resource. They can always be earned. No matter how long it might take, a year, 30 years or whole life. The guy could have started working and raising those 2.5million naira again. Who know what would happen to him next day. Maybe he would have found a wallet with twice as more money.

Yes, it's tragic to hear this kind of news and it's saddened that he might also left a big problem to his family.
So another heart breaking lessons to everyone that we should be gambling responsibly and taking one's life is not the answer to all your problems in life.
