Just two questions here:
1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?

2. Assuming you are this young man and you had to run to a distant location to carry out your gambling as you are allowed to gambling within your neighborhood and luckily you won huge sum of million dollars. Would you share that money with your loved ones who were barring you from gambling or you will just stay off from them and live new found wealthy live alone?

Share your thoughts!

1.) No, I don't think the family went to far here. They love their son and brother and want to help him as much as possible. Selling all your private property to gamble is extreme and he definitely needs help. The problem is that once you are above the legal age to gamble your family can't do much to stop it. Treating the casinos is one thing, but I am sure they know better and can't really refuse people just because the parents told them so. Also, if the young man really wants to gamble than he can find other ways like online gambling. The family should make an intervention and try their son to start a therapy. In such a severe case it would be best to visit a clinic for a few wwwks to make a hard break.

2.) Of course I would share my success with my family, why shouldn't I? My siblings and parents only want the best for me and their concern over my well-being just shows their love. In case I win millions I would give every family member some money. It's my parents who paid for me all my life, now it's my turn to return some money. I think that if my brother or father would win the lottery they would also give me money.

Money can be intoxicating sometimes and only a few percentage of persons in the world actually know how to control the pressure and influence that comes with money control. I have had so many friends who were successful in hitting some significant profits in gambling but all end up squandering the fund in different things just because they have this perception that it's actually free money and should be spent anyhow.
It is very difficult to be able to control the money we have no matter how much we have if we can't use it properly of course the money will easily run out and we don't even know where the money is used, when someone wins a bet in the gambling we play of course they have to be able to controlling themselves, it would be better to take the winnings they have got and enjoy them, rather than looking for bigger wins and spending all the winnings they have got.
Those who can get a lot of money from gambling should be able to use it for their benefit and life. It was like a once in a lifetime opportunity to improve his life for the better. But unfortunately, most people prefer to waste their expenses by using a lot of their winnings. They don't try to take half of the winnings for their future but use all the money to follow a lifestyle and buy things they don't really need. If they have a close family, the immediate family will definitely warn the person to save his money for his future. Hopefully, if we get a big win, we can use it for our lives so that our lives can change for the better.

But when the gambler still thinks about his family and still makes family the most valuable thing, it is possible that he will definitely share the winnings with people he loves or buy some valuable things for them.
Even though these people reject the gambling they do, when they receive whatever they are given from the winnings, there is definitely feeling of gratitude and emotion because the gambler still cares about them and has forgotten what happened.
Assisting family members who have needs from a big win is not a bad idea.  Such support will make them know that gambling can sometimes be profitable. This might help to change the perception of some members of society that see gambling as immoral. I have an idea now to drill a water borehole in my rural community whenever I get a big win and I will inform the elders of the community that I got the money from gambling. It will help to reduce the negative view to hold against gamblers.
Of course, when gambler wants to share their winnings or invite their family to enjoy the results of their winnings, they will think that even though they are gambler, still care about their family and not forget them when they win.
Most people think gambling is bad activity and they even think that gambler winnings are only used for inappropriate activities such as going to nightclubs or getting drunk and all bad thoughts like this can be eliminated when they can show concern for their family or even other people.

There is little experience that I have recently where father and husband are quite fond of gambling and one of the types of gambling that is most liked is the dice game which is owned by bookie and there every bettor can come directly and place their bet on numbers in the dice.
This game involves shaking two dice using the shell of an old coconut and each bettor places bet on the number on the dice.
But he was gambler who never wanted to give his gambling winnings to his family because he thought he only wanted to feed or meet the family needs with money from his own work, not from gambling.
And what was surprising was that he won around $1,500 in one night and used 70% of the money to donate to social foundation that takes in street children who don't have parents.
In this case, I confused about whether he is good person or wise father because what he did was

I am not worried about my family because no family members are involved in gambling but I am very worried about my neighbors. These days they are getting involved with various online gambling in such a way that they get extra greedy and get involved in gambling by selling their physical properties. Thus, if they are constantly involved in gambling, then once their family is like thatwill fall into economic crisis from which they will not be able to get out easily. Lately, many school and college boys and girls in my area have become involved in online gambling and many have been forced to sell their homes. They need to be freed from the ill effects of excessive online gambling.
If no one gambles in your family then there is no need to worry because not everyone has the psychology to manage their self in gambling in the process of starting they might turn into addicts, just like the example you gave about your neighbor, and online gambling is sweet in the sense that nobody will know if you were gambling or not, and that is when people even get more greedy, because they will placing bet upon bet.  And once anybody is already selling their properties then their is a problem, the person is already inviting poverty to their life, because they will end up selling everything. and people like them will always get financial crisis because any money they get they will eventually use it to gamble. i know their will be homeless people that lost their houses to serious gambling, but the problem is most of them don't learn.

This is by far the most likely outcome, and if we are honest I think  everyone has made that mistake, however it is important that if at some point we get a big win, something that every single gambler would like to get at least once, that we do not waste that chance, as that is money that can be used to start something good on your life and allow you to skip a great deal of steps on the process of reaching the financial independence everyone is looking for.

I know a friend who happens to have the same story but not in gambling but when he hit the jackpot of promoting the right altcoin using bounties and airdrops. he never thought twice to gather his family and tell them about it. He bought his sisters some jewelry and smartphones and they extended their house with that money. He also gives their mother some nice gifts because my friend is really enjoying the scenery of a happy family. Even though he uses all the money he got from that single bounty reward, he never regrets it and now he has a stable job and no longer needs to invest his time doing some random altcoin bounties. mostly when we make others happy with what we can afford, it will come back to us double with lots of freebies.

I also know someone like this, he also hit the jackpot and had a lot of money, the only difference is that all his money was spent on his family's girlfriend. It's just sad to think that there are people like this who forget their family. That's why I admire your friend, he didn't forget his family when he had a lot of money. No matter what happens, your family is always there when you need help.

It's true that gambling can give instant luck, which is different from running a business where you have to wait a long time to get satisfactory results, but you need to remember that gambling doesn't always give you luck, so far more people experience losses than luck when playing gambling, I personally prefer to running a business rather than hoping for luck on a gamble whose outcome is uncertain.
Everyone definitely has their own views and choices in life, that's why it's important to know what's good and bad in gambling or business, after all, why do people still think that gambling can make a lot of money even though just to win at gambling you still hope for luck, actually there is what is wrong with their mindset, if they really want to make a lot of money why not work or do business.

If you want to find entertainment there is no problem with gambling because basically gambling was created as entertainment to have fun, not the other way around like making money, just look at the many people who complain because they experience losses from gambling because they only think that gambling can make a lot of money and get rich instantly.

It's true what you said, everyone has the right to choose. They also already know which things are good for themselves and which bad things should be avoided, but if they know the things  they do are bad they are looking for diseases that will be at risk for themselves. But what is wrong is why many people expect to get rich quickly by gambling so that they can gamble continuously without realizing the amount of money they have lost is not small, even I think if they collect the money they have lost because of gambling maybe they can start a business that will certainly produce for themselves.

It is their mindset that must be changed so as not to make gambling their life goal, because there are still many things that are more important than gambling. There is nothing wrong if gambling is only for entertainment and playing with the limits of the budget that has been set, but if it is to be the main income I am not sure it can make them rich, on the contrary, there are even those whose daily needs become completely lacking because they always prioritize gambling.

1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?
Without mincing words, the family went extreme. As long as the guy is an adult, he can do whatever he wants and if he didn't assent to gambling addiction with any casinos and their agents, there is nothing the family could do legally against the house.

But for a gentle man's understanding and agreement, the operators might want to help the guy and his family by disallowing him to gamble in their places. But what if he gambles through his friends or goes to another location?

These are the issues. I believe they need to solve the problem from the source not through their immature approach.

2. Assuming you are this young man and you had to run to a distant location to carry out your gambling as you are allowed to gambling within your neighborhood and luckily you won huge sum of million dollars.

Of course, I would. After all, this is one of the ways to shame them that gambling is not always as bad as thought. There are cases like this where families would be bittered about a gambler but when success is involved they would all want to partake in the cake.

That is another nice story, as there are many investors that are putting their money in new altcoins as they are expecting those kind of results, personally I think he did OK with that money as it is also unrealistic to only use that amount of money in a business or in another good investment, so spending a part of those profits to share the joy of earning that amount of money with his family makes a lot of sense, and it is nice to see your friend eventually got a good job and could stop doing bounties.
But I think investing anywhere without proper analysis is like gambling. Be it alternative coin investment or any business that one goes into investing with no idea and no skills. If I share an experience or a story that a friend of mine bought some alternative coins by bouncing a year ago the amount was very low but suddenly six months later it pumped like 125 times.  He got greedy and held on to that meme coin and after a few days those coins went below their previous price. And now if I am talking about Bounty or Air Drop Campaigns then it would be beneficial to spend time elsewhere instead of spending time on them. Because currently most of them are scammer. And all the good campaigns that are available will not earn much.

Share your thoughts!

Although, this is not the first I'm hearing this type of story but the only difference here is the family printing photograph and threatening the gambling shop owners with legal action. But if I may ask, have they all forgotten that with phone and internet, he can continue with his gambling? In this era, restricting someone from gambling using such approach is as good as wasting your time because it'll not produce any better results as long as they have access to phone. By the way, taking legal action against the gambling service providers is actually wrong as far as the gambler is not an underage. These people are out there for business and not forcing anyone to come and gamble. So, I think the best thing the family can do is to provide their ward with counseling and see how it can transform the gambler's life.

But why will you even consider to run away to a distant location just to continue gambling if they succeed in stopping you using that approach? Perhaps, the situation is not just ordinary because that level of addiction is beyond extreme. And by the way, is it a tradition to share your winning with people? I think no.

Thus, if they are constantly involved in gambling, then once their family is like thatwill fall into economic crisis from which they will not be able to get out easily.

Why must you worry about your neighbor gambling, is it your business seeing your neighbors gambling with their money and if you are not comfortable with their gambling or you discovered that if you don't leave such compound they can sell your property to gamble and nothing will happen to them, I will advise you to leave such compound. Those selling things anyhow to gamble are those that fully addicted to gambling and such people their family don't allow them to gamble because they have see danger ahead of their life and prosperity, and they have to force them to leave the family.

Some of the students gambling, their parents are aware of their gambling because that is were some of them get their school fees, house rent, and food stuff because their parents used that gambling to trained themselves when they were in school those days and they want their children too to pass through the same struggle.

Making the family happy from gambling winnings is a good one though but I think we should also try to invest some part of our winnings incase of rainy days depending on how much was won.

And to help uplift someone in the family is also a kind of human development like to help them in their finance to start up their own business, learn a skill, go to school etc but to squander winnings on just gifts and things of no immediate importance is not really a wise decision on winnings.

Yes, we should remember that winning in gambling is not possible every day. So we must make good use of the winnings we get. If the right decision is not taken at the right time, there can be disaster. Those of us who have a family must love all the family members and we spend money on them with various small gifts. Although this work is good, but we should invest the money in some good investment platform for a short period of time. Winning and losing in gambling is uncertain. You may be at the moment win in gambling and may lose it later. So spending money on any business or any proactive work that will provide money in the future. It is good advice that it is the best time for investment if someone invests in crypto I think he can make good assets which can help him later. You can invest in any platform as per your convenience.

they gamble without control and that is the worst risk. most people do what other people in the environment do too. it makes very fast new people who know and play gambling.
we can't blame the gambling game. Do you know a casino that is a place for gambling? Such mistakes are purely from the gamblers themselves who cannot control what they do.
gambling will not be bad when we are responsible. and even if our family or colleagues do it responsibly, it will not have a negative effect on us or the environment.

9 out 10, if a gambler won a lot of money, they will come back and play for more, resulting to a big lost. So I doubt that it will crossed his mind to share his winnings, but instead what in his mind is to continue to gamble again until he lose all that money.
This is by far the most likely outcome, and if we are honest I think  everyone has made that mistake, however it is important that if at some point we get a big win, something that every single gambler would like to get at least once, that we do not waste that chance, as that is money that can be used to start something good on your life and allow you to skip a great deal of steps on the process of reaching the financial independence everyone is looking for.
If we haven't get that big win yet, that is where we can say or wish, to get it at least once. But believe me, once we finally get it, there will be an urge of trying to get it again or our standard will now increase.

Whatever path you choose after, I think you never wasted your chance because you can also get entertained when you play gambling and imagine if you got lucky and hit your target again? That will be an instant profit for you than compare to if you are building a business outside which can take ages to see the better results. That is a better definition of skipping a great deal of steps or skipping the process of financial independency that you are talking about there.
a compulsive gambler will never be satisfied with the results they get even though they win a lot of money, they will continue to use the results of gambling to play gambling games continuously. I actually don't understand the concept of what they do because as far as I know gamblers Compulsive always gamble even though they have achieved results because they are already addicted to gambling, which means it will be difficult for them to just stop.

It's true that gambling can give instant luck, which is different from running a business where you have to wait a long time to get satisfactory results, but you need to remember that gambling doesn't always give you luck, so far more people experience losses than luck when playing gambling, I personally prefer to running a business rather than hoping for luck on a gamble whose outcome is uncertain.

I want to believe that you saying that the person you are talking about spent all his money on his family's girlfriend was a typo, because it makes your comment rather confusing.

Anyways, there is this really popular adage in my place which states that blood is ticker than water, which actually is a known fact, ones family will always be family, no matter what happens.
There is a kind of situation one would find him or herself, friends will completely run away so that they don't get implicated, but family will aways stand up for their own, this is why no matter what happens, or no matter what family does to a person, that person is free to move away from the family, but never forget them, never forget your family for there can never be friends who can replace family.

During the weekend I was listening to an evening programme from one our the local radio stations they were discussing about gambling, the effects and how to manage it if you might be struggling with  addiction. And they had listeners calling in to share personal experiences or of a loved one that gambles and amidst many callers there was this very caller story that caught my interest and curiosity.

She told about how the family members of a particular young man that is like a plunger when it comes to gambling, his compulsive gambling is to the length of him selling his personal properties and gadgets to make sure he gambles. So what he family did was to print a photograph of him and giving it to all the gambling shops within their neighborhood and around the locality, threatening that any of the gambling shops they have pasted the photo of their brother should they find their brother allowed to gamble in the shops they will sue the gamble shop owner to court as one that is abetting their brother's compulsive gambling lifestyle.

Now, while I was quietly listening to the story in my head I began to ask myself several possible  questions and one of such questions was; is it not possible that this young man can take a cab away from their location and move to a far area to carry out his gambling since his a compulsive gambler.

Just two questions here:
1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?

2. Assuming you are this young man and you had to run to a distant location to carry out your gambling as you are allowed to gambling within your neighborhood and luckily you won huge sum of million dollars. Would you share that money with your loved ones who were barring you from gambling or you will just stay off from them and live new found wealthy live alone?

Share your thoughts!

Gambling is not right for a person, but a small amount of gambling can be done. Of all the difficult aspects of gambling addiction, the gambler is most likely to lose, because the gambling addict is always eager to win. Due to family turmoil, gamblers are stressed in various ways and they blame the casinos in particular. I think that gambler has become more addicted so a person who is so addicted can never be successful in gambling. So I think excessive gambling addiction to his love activities is ready to lead a person down the path of destruction.
