Topic: A gambler's family action. - page 7. (Read 1498 times)

Sometimes gambling can make things very strong, because the game makes a person quickly become addicted, which is why they can go to the extreme of looking for a way to gamble, risking the family's assets, which makes me It seems extreme, many years ago I remember that I was very young, I was around 5 years old, and in my house they were talking about casniso and people that someone I knew had a son because he was in the apostop casino so much and was losing so much money , that all he had to do was risk his house, because he had the deeds of the maimsa, and well that was something that that person even lost, and of course that was in a casino, and that was a big deal because all the neighbors were talking about that case, that the lady, who was crying because her son left her on the street, then some caisno lawyers came to take possession of the house, that was something very extreme.

At that time things were not talked about casinos, those who played considered that they were all addicts, and that casino was the most dangerous activity and they believed that it destroyed people, that it turned them into what they they were looking for, then from those facts the people 'thought that the casino was the worst that could exist, based on these facts it was always emphasized so that when the people talked and were in caisno it was not the only thing they had the risk of losing everything and no one He went to a casino because it was said that the casino was going to take over everything, and the people kept their house property very well. When his children told him that they wanted to go to the casinos, he didn't let them go out, or they had holidays. fights, things they did to avoid this type of thing, and cases that were really sad, but this teaches people that caisno is about having healthy fun, that you should not lose control and that people should be aware of their actions .

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.

OP IMO, the family only intervened in this situation because they loved him. The said gambler is very addicted that he has to sell almost all he had to continue gambling. I think such a gambler cannot be satisfied no matter the amount he wins. He is willing to continue gambling because that is what he loves doing. The family did the best they could to stop their relative from losing all he had.



Should one rely on luck? No. There is no higher chances or certaintity that some day the gambler will win a huge amount. He dreams of that day but only luck could make it possible. There is nothing bad if he discipline himself by not selling his properties and still gamble low key. I don't think his family is really upset about him gambling they are more concerned about the crazy actions he takes to gamble at all cost.

One thing we all should understand from the context of discussion is that the family is trying to look out for one of their own and is taking all the actions they took just because they want to see him become successful in the future for himself and also to the entire family. From what I read in the story, it's obvious that the young man in question was already a gambling addict hence the actions to help control his gambling activities.
Talking about going a far distant and eventually winning big in gambling, there are families whose values and norms are more important than whatever amount of money you can give to them and if the man's family is one of those families, they'll still reject the man's money if he comes back with huge money that he got from gambling because they never supported his gambling activities in the first place

When you consider the wreckage been caused by the compulsive gambling trait of the young man, you'll go to the extreme to help him, although not all of the approaches will be ideal but whatever comes to their mind at that point will be tried out since its now a worse case scenario.


Secondly, money is money irrespective, as long as its legal and not fake. If the man wins money, the family will accept it, except if he has a family that is at the apex of discipline and has promised to have nothing to do with his gambling proceeds.

They will do everything they can to get out their family members who are addicted to gambling so that they don't gamble further. His family will not let anyone in his family experience difficulties and will help him to solve his problems.

It is indeed difficult to stop his gambling addiction because all he can think about is gambling so it is true that it can cost him all his money. But if any of his family found out and his family didn't want him to get deeper into gambling, they would try to warn him and would even try to pull him out of gambling. There must be a confession from the gambler to be able to open his mind that there is a gambling addiction that must be cured and if it is not done immediately, it will endanger him even more. And after he admits his gambling addiction, his family will look for ways to cure his gambling addiction.

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.

From your response, I'd say that parents were taken off guard by the internet and social media. It'll have to take us few more years to have a disciplinary measures for our kids on the internet. But, it looks like a thing that can't be achieved for most families. Because, even in a household kids follow this instruction of limited internet access, they'll definitely be carried away by peers, who have the luxury to visit every site and read different information. The world can get better when parents begin to welcome home schooling for their children. Hence, placing strict restrictions on the activities of the kids; the kind of friends they meet, games they play, and the information they read. Because the after effect of the kind of reckless moves of parents when their kids misbehave is destructive to the future of that ward and his future family too. Every moment we see how parents show poor emotional relationship to their crying kids, shows us how detached the human love has gone in few years. It doesn't start now. Parent's attitude towards their wards, when they need an emotional response as toddlers shapes the child's behavior as an adult. In addition, even if the internet exposes growing teenagers to a wild behavior. It doesn't mean that all internet users, are wild, growing up. You'd see that kids who got close emotional relationship with their parents, tend to control their emotions and don't easily derail from the training of their parents. Hence, they'll definitely discuss whatever they're about to do, with their parents. If they don't get approved, they may or won't do that at all. Lack of good emotional training as kids affects the life of most adults today. Thereby creating the kind of brutal parents and child relationship we see today. The teenager hurts his parents in a harsh manner, and his parents respond weirdly too. Causing more pains to the already dying bond.

your friend case and OP's case study is not similar. This is because I don't think that your friend parent and siblings did everything possible to stop him from altcoin bounties since am not sure if they are aware of what he was doing. However, it is good that we share out joyful moments with our loved ones by sharing our wins with them because they will be the ones for us on our sorrowful days.

I don't see anything wrong with what his family did to him, because nobody will be happy that their family member is a chronic addict and might make life miserable for himself in future if something is not done fast. These are family members trying to pill out their brother from addiction and it turns out that the guy won big, to prove to them that there is sense in what he is doing.

I think anyone with a family that cares enough to go to those sorts of lenths to help out their fellow family members should consider themselves lucky to have people whom truly care.  Today so many parents simply fail at their job, which extends even in to adulthood.  I think what his family did was noble and that he should be proud that he's got family members whom care as much as they do.

Blood is indeed thicker that water and it would really be that your family would be always the best thing that you could have and its true that they do really know on whats best for you
and even if it means on going into those actions which it might be looking that too much but it us really just that for the sake of your safety and avoiding you to end up miserable.
Family would really be that normally be doing on what are the things that they must do. They would really be definitely be doing something which it is for your own good.
They wont really be minding about the things whether it is really that too much or not, as long they could be able to help out someone whose really at verge
of gambling addiction or something issues happen.

That's extreme, but the young man also didn't mention the preventive measures their family took before resorting to such extreme actions. Families usually employ peaceful approaches to change the bad habits of a family member. Cooperative actions are always used to prevent family breakdown, and I consider this extreme action reasonable if the young man had been reminded several times before but still didn't realize.

Remember, patience also has a limit. When the timer runs out, emotions and anger will surface. Everyone expresses anger differently, and the level of extremity varies. I find it reasonable if that's the scenario.

Giving some of the profits, then leaving to start a new life if truly hated by the entire family. Trying to rise in a positive way, like working or starting a business to mend one's reputation. I will still hope to return to my family someday when I've become a useful person.

If people weren't addicted to gambling then people wouldn't worry too much about such common activities. But everyone knows that it is difficult to turn those who become addicted to gambling. Gamblers will not stop their addiction until they exhaust all their financial resources. So those who work as guardians of the family must consider these issues and try to warn in advance. An addicted gambler never thinks of himself as an addict. If he is given a piece of advice, he agrees to accept it for a while but then he does not keep his word. This picture is almost the same for any addicted gambler.

Yes, that action is too extreme, it's the same as embarrassing yourself, it's a ridiculous action, what's the big deal about having a photo stuck in the casino, The casinos have the right to prohibit sticking photos of the person on the walls of their casino houses and besides there is no law that can sue the owner of the casino, if the person's relatives gamble.

No, I don't have a grudge against my brother, even though he forbade me from gambling, maybe I should think positively about something like that, I will show him that I can get rich by gambling and I will share the money for him.

       -  If you don't share what you win with your loved ones, it will appear as if you are the same person to your loved ones or family.
If your loved ones did that, it's because they have concern and care, and it's also for your welfare, as far as I can see.
If you can, don't do that; after all, it is said that family is family; they won't leave in times of your circumstances, for sure.


Family or blood line is like that, isn't it? There is probably no sane family that will let their family members get addicted to bad vices that can destroy their loved ones, of course.

Yes, that's what families will do if they find that a family member is addicted to gambling or often gambles at casinos in their city. They don't want to see any of their members gambling more and more often, even to the point of spending all their money. That wouldn't be good for him because he could lose all his money, even the money he had in his savings, so his family took strict measures just to protect the person from excessive gambling. This is all for the good of the person so that he can remember that excessive gambling will not give the results he wants, so he should be able to realize his mistake and not gamble again.

Bad move. If he didn't give away his bounty reward, he could have used that to start a business rather than going to work, although it's a stable job. You know, when you are running a business, you have a big chance of making it successful, and you can even help people to work with you. I'm not blaming his action, though, as we have different choices in life. Whatever makes us happy is what we should do. I'm just sharing my thoughts on this one.

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.

Family is family and they do know on whats better for you specially into our mom and  dad on which they do really know on what are the things that needs to be dealt with and to those things which arent really that good to get involved with. They wont really be making out those actions if they arent seeing something bad on your part or the things that you've been doing but if there's one then they would really be needing to assess the situation and would really be finding up ways on whats good for such condition whether they would really be taking up such step or not. They do all those things for the better or whats good for you and this is why
i cant really blame them out if ever the actions made is really just that crossing the line already.

Those actions shows that they do really care, i dont see for it to be wrong on which there are really individuals who doesnt really like to be controlled much or would really be that be watched or traced up
basing up on whats he's doing. There are really just those people who are really that to sensitive when it comes to this and would be saying that it is really that too much.
I do appreciate on what the family had done because they wont really be doing such extent if they werent really showing up some care.

They came up with the idea of requesting to not let the guy gamble within their area to at least limit his gambling which is for his own good. We understand the reason, it's because they care. That's why if this ever happens, as long as the gambler goes back to his family showing regrets and promises that this will never happen again, I know the family will accept the guy and help him get back on his feet.
