If a gambler is very secretive in his daily life, he will hard to gets help from other people because he also difficult to meet other people can converse about many things, including his personal life. He needs to have openness about himself and he can trying to talks to his main member of family because someone can close with other people on his family. If he can have one or two closer family member, he can tell to them about his addictive behavior and that can helps him to gets a help from them. Yes, it will makes our hearts and minds feel lighter because he can tells to others about what he feels and gets a solution to solve his problem.

It could be that a gambler is very secretive in his daily life and does not dare to tell other people about his addictive behavior, which could actually have fatal consequences for him. If the gambler had been open to telling others about his addiction, perhaps he would not have committed suicide.
Telling other people about our experiences will actually make our hearts and minds feel lighter because other people will definitely try to provide advice to prevent and cure gamblers from their addiction.

This is why it would really be that important that you should really be having that kind of control when it comes to gambling spending because once you do go overboard or with your limit then you would really be ending up on having that huge problem when it comes to money and this is something that will really be putting up on such huge trouble. Just like been said that majority of people would really be that considering taking
suicide would really be their easiest solution on which it is really just that a foolish move to be done. We do know that in each problem comes up with a solution. If you do find out yourself that
being spending too much money on which it comes into a point that you are already making some loans or having that gradual increase of debts then it would be always best that you should quit for good
before its too late. We do know that once debts would really be that becoming that too deep on which paying up the interest is already pain in the ass then you would really be having a hard time to recover.
This is the time you would be telling to yourself that you would really be taking your life to solve everything.

         -    Maybe it could be those times. He thought that what he would bet on would be that he would recover all the amounts he had lost. That's why he didn't seem to think about what would happen if he lost. Apparently, he may have become so complacent that he will win that bet.

Something that he didn't expect, maybe because he strongly believes that he will win, but the thing is not really. And that's when the severe depression entered his mind, which caused him to no longer control his own thoughts.

Yes, that's because they are desperate to take a look with their lives that already changed and become worst. They can't see a solutions to solves their problem because everything is in the dark without they see the light that can guide them. That's bad for them because they can't gets out from their addictions and will just end their lives if they can't hold and solves their problems. They needs to have awareness, repent sincerely, and tells other people about their addiction can helps them to gets solutions from their problems. A gambler who tries to commit suicide needs to open their eyes because they still have more options to solving their addiction, especially if they can talks to other people about their addictions. They will gets solution and how to solved it if they can meet other people and ask for helps.

It is no stranger to our ears when we hear about a gambler who dared to commit suicide even though he often lost when gambling. Yes, maybe it's his own choice, but it's very scary for me personally. Is there no other way but to commit suicide? Maybe the only way is to repent sincerely and not repeat the same thing in the future.
However, I say that if a gambler tries to commit suicide to get rid of depression or not burden other people, then he falls into the category of very short-sightedness and must think about it with good common sense, then the consequences will be very pronounced. by members of his own family.

Suicidal is never an option 🥺
At op the money seem little when converted to USD but frankly that’s a huge sum of money in our local currency and only god and the deceased knows the source of the money that would have prompted him to take his life and just as @op has already stated that, no matter what, suicide is never an option and this should also be another wake up call for every gambler not to gamble money they can’t afford to lose as nothing, absolutely nothing is certain or guaranteed in the gambling industry.

May the soil of the departed rest in peace and I pray god give his family he left behind the fortitude to bear this loss and we should always do well to check up with people in our neighborhoods as you never can tell who you might be saving from situations like with just your presence and companionship.

I would add a little, apart from not being good for risking money like that, it is also important to be wise when gambling.
For example, when you are losing, it is highly recommended to stop for a moment and not rely on emotions to double your bet in order to recover the money you lost.

It is quite likely that the money he lost represented a great deal to this person, however if that is the case then he should not have bet that money away, very often you will see forum members advising newbies members to not bet more than what they can afford to lose, and this is the reason why.

As if a person were to lose an amount of money that is key to them, when they lose it they will feel desperate about it, and it will increase the chances they make a mistake from which they will never recover.

Handling ourselves is crucial to our actions and reactions even as emotion could be unpredictable in terms of what it could cause. Although it is unwise that an irrational decision is the solution when the person is practically fit as a man, that's unwise. No amount of losses should make anyone feel too deeply pained and not overcome if the person is smart enough to have prepared for the worst even before gambling. We should nonetheless limit the risk we take to the barest minimum because if it is too much, it could be so painful.

Even at that, we should rather think of the way out and not otherwise, we should know that there will always be other better days even at loss, and I must tell you that there is nothing happening now in gambling that has not happened before, so life goes on. We should hope for a better day but when the day eventually comes again, we should not misuse the opportunity again, let's gamble rightly and wisely. Gambling is an activity that will always give you or take from you, so we should prepare our minds about that.

But I wonder why a person who is mindful of that would still risk senselessly to the point that such would still lose so big. Well, let's just continue to be conscious about this and keep the right mentality towards gambling even as we manage ourselves.

Not all would really be that good when it comes on handling out stress on which there are ones who do have that kind of tolerance and there are ones who are really that weak
and do get easily get stressed on which this would really be that resulting into suicide. This is why it wouldnt really be that something that we could easily understand since we arent into their situation
but its true that it is really that not really worth it on killing your ownself just because of some money issues or problems. Yes, its not something simple or easy but doesnt mean
that you would really be killing yourself just for this kind of reasoning. There's no problem that cant really be solved out and it would be that normal that it would be hard
but its not something impossible.

it is a very stupid thing to do to take your life because I lost a game When there are more games to play, to me, it is not worth it, I do not see the reason why I should end my life because of a freaking game. I do not even care about the victim, since he does not care about himself. I only feel for his family because they will be better informed about the whole thing. It is not as if losing money is nice but there are other opportunities and betting is always there, so you can bet more games than you think. Instead of ending this precious life, something a lot of people are looking for, the person just wasted it as if life were nothing. and if it as about the debt he would have just look for a better way to clear is debt than killing him self.

People should empathize with the individual's hardships, but there's a wave of disgust for unregulated gaming. Your point is important; like I did in business and leading a country, we must confront these difficulties. Suicide from gambling debts is a social warning bell. Gambling can destroy your spirit and bank account.

I've witnessed casinos' highs and lows, people betting everything on a dice. Entertainment, but when it goes awry? Catastrophic. More should be said about mental health and the pressures that push people over the edge. Not having a pecuniary safety net, but having a network of individuals who can draw you back. Yes, take a break if you're hot. Not only brilliant, but necessary. Overcoming life's challenges and becoming stronger and more resilient is the best comeback. We must promote the American dream.

Gambling is not for the financially challenge person, it's been clearly stated from the very start. Gamble what you can afford to win and not the other way round. Gambling have taught me huge lesson, I'm not ever going to forget in a hurry. If you want to know how strong is a gambler, check him when makes huge losses, trust me when I say, most of them will not be able to stand because there are crucial losses. Don't tender blames because you never might picture what one is going through. There's quite crucial incidents that hits man daily and especially from the system.

         -   It's pretty bad when, just because a large amount of money is lost, you end up taking your own life. Maybe because he couldn't accept what happened to his defeat, he couldn't control his emotions, which made him do something he shouldn't have done.

So it's really important that we have discipline and control over ourselves so that we don't end up in such suicidal situations. What if he has a family that is left behind? Then his family is poor.
Our lives shouldn't be waste for such a thing like this only.

It's impossible to comment on this situation without having the full details about what the person was going through at the moment of committing suicide. Most likely he was already in some bigger troubles, potentially caused by his betting/gambling issues and he had debts he cannot cover, that's why he decided to place such a big bet to try and rescue it all. Most people here say they couldn't do such a thing, if they were in this person's place but it's impossible to say that without actually finding yourself in such a situation.

This should be a warning sign for all gamblers. No matter how mentally strong you are, no matter how much money you have, no matter how responsible you are, gambling can take you to a place you've never even imagined before, if you lose control. Gambling is one of the worst addictions existing and it could potentially make you lose everything you have, not only your money but also your family and in rare cases even your life. Therefore, if you think you have a gambling issue, even a small one, and you are not in control of your gambling, take a break and think over the situation. Do not let it get out of control, because it's extremely hard to recover after you've lost everything.

When someone is addicted then it is likely that they will not be able to get out of it, the same as the chance of winning in gambling, the chance of success is very slim, when addiction has enveloped it then there is a big chance that they will fail if they try to get out of that zone, some gamblers who want to get out I think they fail from their addiction, because they will come back again when they see people around them who are the same gamblers winning, because with that the temptation is very strong, so there is very little chance that they can get out or recover from their addiction.

Therefore, if they want to be able to recover from their addiction, they must have a strong will of their own and must be able to resist strong temptations too. With the will and determination that they have, I think they can get through it as long as they are consistent with their target or their will. Don't be easily distracted or tempted by wins that are only temporary. Winning at gambling is indeed tempting, but winning at gambling is not always pleasant, because sometimes winning at gambling can also be a problem if we take the wrong steps in the future.

strong will? Non-negotiable. Addiction coats a person like armor in a constant siege. Going it alone because "I can handle it"? Fantasy. Gambling pals' echo chamber? This siren melody leads to relapse

As you strive to quit, witnessing a friend win is like watching someone feast while you fast. The key? Perspective. Some wins are mirages in a desert of losses. Temporary highs without long-term stability

A long chain begins with self-awareness. It's like changing Titanic deck chairs without it. The change from "I need to stop" to "I want to stop" is huge. Support? Essential. Without the will to change, it's like lighting a wet match. Choose recovery, a personal revolution. Face every fear, challenge every excuse, and change the script. The difficulty is harsh. But guess what? The other side of that struggle? Authentic self-worth that gambling cannot deliver

when they are addicted and want to recover from their addiction, it takes quite a long time, in the rehabilitation stage they also have to be able to go through the rehabilitation process, because it is not easy to be able to go through the recovery process from their gambling addiction, of course they have to have strong determination. strong so it doesn't shake easily. because I'm sure that if they become addicted, they must have friends around them who are equally fond of gambling, and if one of them wants to stop gambling, they must be able to restrain themselves when they see or hear news of another friend getting a big win at gambling. If they really have good thoughts, maybe they won't be easily tempted and think that the victory their friend got was a temporary victory.

In my opinion, those who are addicted themselves must be aware of their own mistakes, such as realizing that the gambling they are doing is too excessive. Even though we have to help those who are addicted to recover, it will be difficult if they do not have their own awareness of the gambling they do. Of course they need help to recover, but that will happen when they themselves want to recover or have awareness, because if it's not like that then they don't need help to recover from their addiction.

Yeah, gambling addiction's clearly got some awful impacts - for the person with the problem, and their family and friends too.  When someone can't stop gambling even though it's messing up their life, they probably feel real lonely and like things aint never gonna get better.  Suicide's just an awful end result.  But it isn't about feeling ashamed - it's more about the mental illness that can cloud judgment.
