Numerous things that the news or story didn't tell about the victim regarding the major reason why he did go that extent of committing suicide after such a massive loss, one of the reasons that could have cause this is if the victim took a loan to risk on this bet and unfortunately lost it all, now may have thought of a way to pay back and realizing that there is no hope of getting another money to pay back or some can take loses too extreme that he could not bear the loss, but however there's no amount of reason that worth taking your life when you lose heavily. This is why it is very important to stick to what you can afford to lose, else this victim wouldn't have taken his life.

There are tons of ways for you to check out on how people do end up.

1. You could search on internet into those people who have destroyed their lives or even killed themselves because of gambling addiction.
2. You could be able to check out with those people whom you do know with and involved with gambling, which you could compare out their lives now and before knowing gambling.
3. Use of your own self awareness and common sense on whats happening around.

You wont really be that making yourself putting up on such tough situation if you are really just that sensible on the things that  you've been doing or you're been wary.
You would really be ending up on taking up a suicide if you have lost everything. Gambling could make it happen and this is why it would really be always best that you should
really know on what you are doing. Dont get yourself being blinded with greed because if you do then it would really be a sad story for you to end up.
Gambling addiction is something that cant be solved out so easily.

More gamblers are passing through difficulties in life. More often, we should our best to check up on most of colleagues that are gamblers, because losses are the major cause of this problem. Many have acknowledged this incident, for instance using money meant for expanding one's business, food stuffs or house rents, been used for gambling, at the end of the day, there's absolutely nothing too promising other than them having ruined moments in the space. There are a whole lot of funny thing in the system, there are major setbacks that keeps happening, a gambler will planning for elite results and at the end of the day, he ends up disappointed. Failing is fine by me but its a major setback which should be our driving force to ascertain good heights in the system.

Right, I agree to this, because usually the inability to accept the fact of losing is always a big problem for gamblers and this is a common problem that is always felt and experienced by most gamblers where they end up with a much worse situation when they are unable to account for the fact of losing but they are still involved in gambling, And obviously if you don't like losing then the only solution is that you shouldn't know gambling at all or if you're too late and already involved then maybe the options are to become a responsible gambler by having a good approach and also always putting an amount that doesn't matter if you lose, or you quit gambling.

On the other hand it seems that people who make careless or even stupid decisions such as suicide due to losing are those who have a personality that is easily provoked or easily emotional or provoked so that when unwanted things happen such as dominating defeat which creates tension and pressure makes them in a situation of despair and unbearable frustration which in the end they decide to commit suicide. However, healthy gambling is when you act in accordance with your abilities and that means you should be able to treat gambling only as an activity to fill your spare time when you are bored to get entertainment, and obviously something that is only for entertainment should not be done with seriousness let alone with hope, it is too dangerous.

He is also battling with the shame of what people would say concerning the money he borrowed for gambling. Some people are not bold enough to face life situations which makes them think about suicide each time they face a challenging situation. He contributed to his problem if he indeed borrowed money to gamble. His gambling addiction was aggressive which made him lose his sense of reasoning. I also feel sorry for the creditor because he has also lost the money he graciously lent to the deceased.

Social media has contributed a lot to the problems most youths are having. The youths are now closer to their funds and online peers than their parents. Some of them prefer to take advice from social media instead of seeking counsel from parents and other experienced adults. They are also influenced by celebrities or brand ambassadors that they meet on social media.

You value life and anyone who value life are not moves by money or any materialistic things. But the guy is definitely dealing with other fears and depression which he must haven't share with anyone and then end it all when he loss everything. I even read somewhere he borrowed an additional money to his own to bet, didn't know what he was trying to achieve but it's better for him to use the money to buy food and eat, sleep and get querry by the lender of the money than do gambling and ended it all.

Those days when you only see middle age people worry of depression but Depression today is a real problem among the youths and adolescent people who are supposed to be facing higer education, skills, and other things that will be beneficial but they will rather watch Drake that has struggled his life to get where he is today but they want to be like him when they don't even have the means, this is where gambling comes from some people.

This is why it would really be that important that if you do find yourself that being impulsive in the first place and if you are someone who doesnt really like or wants to lose money
then you should have directly be avoiding gambling in the first place. Dont touch up on things on which you cant be able to bare up when it comes into its risks because once you wont really be able
to handle up yourself then this is where these suicidal thoughts would really be kicking in and this is where you should really be considering yourself on stopping on whatever things that you've been dealing.
Just like on what you have said that if you dont like on losing money then dont gamble. People usually mess up their finances just because they do have those kind of unrealistic
thoughts into their minds on which it would really be resulting that you would really be having those desperate moves on which it isnt a must thing to be done in the first place.

He must have taken life too serious, some people believe that failure is the end of life or it's the means to end one's life, I call such people idiots, because life is more valuable than money, if you are in a situation where sacrificing your own life is the solution then it must be a worthy one, not because of some money.

I feel sorry for him and his family, I just wish that someone talk to these people before they take their lives, it's not making sense, that amount is even so ridiculous for taking his own life.

Funny thing is he could have talked to someone and they won't care, some people will even hope he kill himself or commit suicide, it's a scary world we are living in now, people only care for themselves only. Rest on gentle soul.

Each person does have their own levels when it comes to emotion tolerance on which there are ones who could really be able to control and there are ones who cant be able to bare out on the time that they are experiencing such extreme stress and huge problems into their lives.This is why we could really be able to see that those people who do took suicide on the time that they are into a condition on which a problem is really just that something that cant be resolved out. Yes, we do know that each problem does have its own solution but on the time that a certain individual would really be able to see that there's no way on getting out on this kind of problem or cant be able to find any solution, then this is where they would be considering on taking up suicide as their last option.

It is really that very wrong on having this kind of option to solve or ran away from all of your problems. This is why on the time that you do deal up with gambling then it would really be always best
that you should really be doing make yourself that not getting addicted to it on which it do comes into a time or moment that you are already experiencing financial problems or issues then
this is where people do usually be thinking up on taking up some suicide on the time that they are experiencing some issues or problems on which its never been right on having these
kind of consideration because its never been worth on killing yourself just because you are running away with debt problems or any problems that you do currently have.

I've gotten passed this amount in my life and that's not the reason why I am going to say what I am about to say.

There is no amount of money that worth a life, your life is worth more than any amount, because billionaires remains billionaire only when they are alive, once you lose your life it's over for everything you ever own. .

Also your life doesn't belong to you, we all borrowed it for max of 100 years, when it's time, everyone will drop their life, to me it's not worth to take someone's life and it's also not worth taking your own life because of money, if this man is still alive today he would have recovered this amount already.

People need to be responsible when they are gambling, this act is an act of irresponsible, you feel easy to make money like it's just a straight up line, you don't think about you losing the money, the amount must have been the max he had in his account, why took such risk? It's sad.

Life is special, it's important to gamble with what you can afford to lose, taking your own life is what addiction can cause to people that are addicted to gamble and it doesn't makes any sense when you are gambling with what you can not afford to lose. when you follow someone that's gambling with slot of money to casino, you might be intimidated because the amount he's gambling with. The story say that the gambler used his life saving that he struggled to save while he was at work. Addiction should be stop quickly, additional gamblers should stop gambling. Selfcontrol can help gamblers not to gamble for too long in a casino, the more you stay long in the casino the more you get addicted to gamble.

          -   Talking about suicide because of losing a large amount of money in gambling is no longer the right and normal thing to do. The only thing that can do this is that he was unable to control himself due to severe depression and stress, which led to suicide being the only solution for him to escape from the big problem he was facing.

So sometimes it is scary to put a gambler at the level of gambling addiction because they are controlled most of the time by their greed in their mind and lack of discipline and control over their emotions.

Poor guy. Prayers are up for him and his family. It is really sad to see someone take their life just because of gambling. We may say that gambling specifically is not the reason why he killed himself. It might be because of depression, but still, gambling is the root cause of his suffering and why he killed himself. This is the reason that we gamblers should be responsible when gambling. Gamble the money you are willing to lose; not because someone is gambling a lot of money, you should too. 

The said money is a lot; I think it is his savings. Looking at it, he may have grinded it for a long time, and with a leap of faith, he gambled it. Sadly, he loses it. I think that is one of the reasons why he took his life; after all the hard work, he lost it in a short period of time. Or maybe he loaned some of that money and gambled on it. 

Whatever happens, don't kill yourself just because you lose something. There are always second chances in life, and you just need to restart.

We shouldn't be stereotyping individuals that are struggling with gambling addiction, It's due to the kind of treatment that those seen to be struggling with addiction problems get that they don't open up to people as when they do so they'll be treated differently and very bad. Gambling addiction is a problem that needs those that are close to you to know so they can help you out both financially and emotional as you would have wasted all the money you had gambling.

For those individuals that are suffering from gambling addiction problems, taking your life won't solve any problems as you would have made your family members and loves ones to go through an emotionally crisis due to the way you died and you might turn some that aren't strong to handle your departure to have their own problem that they'll begin to struggle with as drug abuse or gambling addiction too.

with cases like this, it indicates that gambling should be done just for fun, using money that has already been earmarked to be ready to be lost, with the wrong aim or motive at the start of gambling, of course it will cause other pressures, such as unwillingness. the money at stake is lost or cannot accept the reality with real losses occurring. By gambling excessively, such as placing large bets in the hope of getting a big win but not being aware of the clear side of defeat, of course it will make us depressed by the reality of what happened (defeat). What you say is correct, even if they commit suicide and leave behind debts during their lifetime, of course it will be the responsibility of their family and relatives, because it is impossible for the borrower to consider the debt problem resolved when the main perpetrator who owns the debt has committed suicide. The debt that the main perpetrator still has will clearly be an additional burden for his relatives and family. committing suicide after experiencing a major defeat will not solve all problems, there are still other people who could be concerned. Therefore, as much as possible, we must be able to make the best use of life, gambling is fine as long as it is with money that we are willing to lose, including the amount of the bet, whether small or large, we must be willing to lose it so that there is no mental stress that can destroy everything into chaos.

Indeed, the problem lies in the wrong response to gambling, where they believe that gambling can give them a lot of money or win, but what is clear is that this is certainly not certain, what is certain to happen in gambling is losing. and without them realizing it, responding to gambling incorrectly will only make them feel mentally depressed, such as irritation, which can lead to a grudge against gambling. By not being able to accept the losses that occur, it makes them want to gamble again to recover the losses, and of course if it's like that, I think they are trapped in an addiction cycle which can clearly harm them and destroy them sooner or later. It's true what you said, the end of gambling is winning and losing, winning or losing, but what dominates more is losing and losing, winnings in gambling can be obtained if we are just lucky, while luck cannot be predicted. when it comes, it also doesn't come according to what is expected.

I don't know why so many gamblers think that gambling can double their money for them, and they only look at one side without considering, the opposite, which has the higher odds of happening. All these problems are because the gambler in question is too greedy that he thinks he can use other people money to generate money for themselves just like that. Is there any magic like that.

I think that gambling is not good for everybody, especially those people who cannot control their emotions, and allow the outcome of their bet to control their actions. Gambling should be for fun, and entertainment, so that you will not get depressed to the extend of thinking to commit suicide, because if there is nobody around them at that moment, they will kill themselves.

It's too painful to hear of such,but no amount of loss can result to me ending my life when I know that there are greater opportunities and things to achieve as well,what do you tend to gain after doing so.
I know that he might be thinking he has lost everything but with time he can still acquire those losses and full up but he decided to take his life,it's so pathetic and a lesson to all those that feels or think there's no way after the loss.

Just yesterday a friend of mine also want to commit suicide in respective of such of loosing such amount and the thing is the money wasn't his own,he thinking that he should use it to gamble and will get a double of it but boom everything crashed,no gain and he messaged me that about his decision to take his life.
I went straight to him and talked to him at length and gave him reason to say he can make it again and after which he felt alot better.
So a great loss is not the end of your Life.

It's true, we don't have exact data on how many lives were lost because of gambling, I mean those who chose the short path of committing suicide after losing from gambling. Maybe you are right that the number should be small like 0. and something lower than that. However, I have my own beliefs as to why that person ultimately decided to commit suicide, because one of them might be that they had other pressures apart from gambling, for example, there were other life problems that other people didn't know about.
However, even the smallest number that makes people commit suicide because of gambling is something that should not happen, it is very unfortunate that it happens even though it may only be done by one person. That's why we shouldn't gamble excessively and without the rules we apply because the risks are very big and it could be our own life if we can't bear all the pressure.
This must be a lesson for us, not just reading and hearing stories but it must be more than that to make us better in carrying out all actions, whatever they are in the life we live.

Sorry to hear about what happened. This is why gambling should be seen as an entertainment and not as a way of solving financial issues or making money. Ga,bling addiction has consequences that can affect not just yourself but also your loved ones. So, if ever you know someone who is struggling with such situation, it's important to see help to overcome such problems and struggles. Always be aware, especially the warning signs like spending more time and money on gamblinh, lying about gambing habit, feeling a need to increase amount of money to gamble, experiencing or feeling irritable and restless when trying to cut down on gambling.

someone ending their life because they lost at gambling is nothing new. there are lots of incidents like this. It's very likely that they didn't just experience big losses when gambling. However, they are more likely to have large debts either to family, close friends, relatives, or even worse, they are trapped in loans.
