Topic: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. - page 12. (Read 1874 times)

I'll stop you right there.

I don't think it's constructive to call anyone weak minded just because are more vulnerable to addictions. And i tell you why:

It takes guts to admit one has a problem, and as long as it's seen as shameful and weak condition, people rather live in denial and say themselves that they don't have a gambling problem, then see them selves as weak minded. Coming out from the addict closed should be normalized and seen confessions as a thing that honourable people do.

And yes, gambling is not for everyone, but an addiction doesn't make them weak minded.

People like her needs guidance from the professionals. Why? Because with this incident, this can go worse than what was her reaction after losing her money in sports betting.

She for sure didn't anticipated that she's going to lose or if she knows that losing has got higher chance, she's just surprised with the outcome instead that she expected to win a lot.

Next thing is that, she might do more when she continue to gamble and if she understands the risk and the importance of what's in it for her as she gambles, it's scary what she might do next aside from crying and feeling sorry for herself about her losses.

I bet she was smiling before she took that bet because she might have been sure about it if she put a lot of money into that team or whatever she picked.
This is crazy. She didn't know the risk she took in the first place and that is why she cries at the end.
A person will become emotional if he/she uses the money that must be meant for something important, irresponsible gambling. I call this passive begging if she posted her photo on social media crying because she lost. She wants other people to have pity on her and maybe get some funds from them so that she could have something to bet again or just the money being returned.
A good lesson for her. She wouldn't be crying if she hadn't taken the risk, staying away from gambling is better.

It looks like the lady got hooked on sports betting and got addicted eventually.  She got an uncontrolled urge so she bets all her money and lost them.  The thought of her addiction to sports betting were supported by her claim and message that sports betting is addictive.  She cry due to the frustration that she lost a huge sum of money and possibly doesn't know how to recover or re-earn it.

This is the problem with people who think gambling is the easiest way to earn money only to find out that their wealth are sucked out due to their uncontrolled manners when it comes to gambling.

This is another reason why one shouldn't expect  good news all the time in gambling. Gambling is a game of chance and luck the ability of an individual to win doesn't make him the champion and losing in gambling doesn't mean you don't know how to gamble it only means its not your lucky day so I think anyone who's interested in gambling should be ready to accept the good news who may be few and the bad news which is always more then the good news. For the lady in the picture, I don't know the amount might have staked that's making her to cry but she should understand that she must be willing to accept losses if she's interested in gambling because tears alone cannot help here to win.

We've got a detective here, folks!

She looks like she could use a hug right now

There's some things we cannot change, like getting drunk and sleeping with someone we didn't want to. We're people we make mistakes and she made some herself.
She's crying because the realization is setting in. She'll be all right when the wave of emotions goes away.

I never cry like that because I treat the money like it's lost. I think about my situation if I lose the bet and get ready for what's coming. She forgot to do it.

Women are very emotional, so i expect her to cry even more than this regardless of that being her first attempt or not, it is very rare seing women gambling except they received an offer to do so freely without them paying any dime, one of the things women enjoy doing are what comes out of platter of gold for them without any demands, they prefer saving than spending, a woman is not as bold as a man to the extent of them being able to cope with losses with gambling.

I don't get why people need to take a video of themselves crying and posting it on social media afterwards. I get that you're frustrated and sad because of what happened, but isn't that something that you should take ownership because it's a consequence of what you did? If she can't handle the loss, then she shouldn't be gambling in the first place. Why would you pursue something that you aren't ready to face failures with? Pretty sure that money that she used is for something far more important than gambling, that's why her reaction is just like that.

I'd laugh in front of her if I was there.

Indeed, the standard is, when we want to enter the world of gambling or carry out betting activities, we really have to be prepared, both financially, mentally, emotionally and various other things related to our ability to gamble. but unfortunately most people don't realize it or even realize it but ignore it. What they have in mind when they gamble is that they can win and get a lot of money, but unfortunately it won't be that easy.

And so I have to tracked this lady,

https://www.tiktok.com/@just_that_girl_divine/video/7286400477812624645

She mentioned one gambling sites, but I will say that I'm not familiar with it. But in any case, we all know that gambling is all based on luck and so she doesn't have it that day, so eventually she losses. What's scary though is the thought that she wants to commit suicide, so maybe this is her first time to gamble?

Maybe she thought gambling was like a bed of roses and started celebrating early even before her final game was played, whereby maybe she might have been overconfident that her last game was going to play as predicted, but unfortunately, it played the opposite. And this should stand to be a lesson to every other person to ensure from this day forward to only gamble with the amount of money they can always afford to lose, and not put all hope in gambling, as it is like a double edge sword where you are likely to win or lose, and whichever comes your way, you accept it in good faith.

Gambling ordinarily is not for the lily-livered, it has to do with a lot of emotional maturity for you to take your money and support a certain bet and I think women should not get involved much in gambling because emotionally they are always most times weak.
Though if she's a regular gambler, then she didn't have to cry, but if she's a first timer, then you should expect her to cry, especially if she staked a high amount of money.

If she continues staking, she will get used to it and see her lost on betting as a normal thing with time. It's always advisable that you stake with a little token, something that you can easily do away with.

First of all, I didn't know how much money he had bet on this woman's gambling session and made her frustrated and crying. secondly, it is possible that this woman is trying to gain sympathy. because, he said what he said via social media which is currently trending, namely TikTok. thirdly, there was no strong evidence that he had carried out gambling sessions even though he mentioned one of the gambling platforms. because in the link you shared, you don't put the results of the loss. So, there are many factors that I took into consideration in reviewing this thread.

But even if that's true, I can feel how frustrated a gambler feels when he experiences consecutive losses. at least, I've experienced situations where that feeling of frustration overwhelms us, "thankfully this is in the past".
talking about gambling, betting, losing, winning, even addiction. we have reviewed it and even as this woman said in the content of her TikTok video. in this position I don't want to judge what this woman does on her social media, with her TikTok. because after all, he has the right to do so even though it reaps reactions from various groups, especially those who comment on this woman's social media.

Well, referring to you say. as a gambler, or let's say as a fan who loves in this type of entertainment. the important thing to know is that gambling carries a lot of risks. despite its context, it is an entertaining game. The point is that someone must be fully aware that this type of entertainment involves risks. Therefore, apart from being an entertaining game, it is also fun. but we need to remember, there are risks that we need to know about.
For me, it's actually simple. if one is not willing to lose money, it is best to avoid gambling. however, if we know and are ready for all the risks, then nothing prohibits us from engaging in this type of entertainment. the most important thing is that we can take responsibility for every risk we face. after all, gambling also offers us a big hit or win when we are lucky.

sometimes people are using the social media to attract attention from the public. we don't know exactly their motives. but to raise awareness, that's fine. but this kind of situation should be kept to yourself. if you are not ready to lose in this game, then, don't bet in the first place. sportsbetting or any other gambling game, if not handled properly, will really push you to addiction.
this will not be her first loss if he will continue to bet, so better prepare herself for more losses if she will continue her journey in this game.

Firstly, she looks older than 18years of age, and as such she is responsible for her predicament.
Gambling is not really for the faint hearted and it has been stessed here so many times, how much emotions accompany gambling. Where it is worse is when the gambler has become addicted.

Furthermore, I don't see any reason why anyone should really feel remorse for the lady, after all, what a man can do, a woman can do better. She only needed to have a taste of the emotions men get to stomach and probably still return to try their luck the following day.
Am sure this is her first experience. She may have to rethink her plight to decide if she wants to continue gambling frequently or occasionally or never.

You know it’s okay to cry because you become devastated of your losses, but posting it on social media is such a big mistake. You just prove to yourself that you are a very irresponsible gambler and that you enter gambling without preparing for its risk. Although I understand why this lady had resort into posting her experience just to raise awareness to her viewers, but I can it’s not the sports betting that is at fault but it’s all the gambler itself. This is why gambling should only be for people who have strong identities and will never be for weak hearts that gets easily affected whenever they experience their first losses.

Well somebody bet way more than they were willing to lose.  This is the issue with gambling when done in an out of control environment.  If ypu are begging and pleading to win the money you shouldn't be betting.  It should be entertainment not a form of trying to pay important bills

This both shows her lack of mental fortitude and foresight that this could very well happen. Traits that are so important if you want to stay sane and well, not addicted to gambling in the process. People downplay these important stuff so much until such a time comes that they need it the most, it's utterly pathetic and disgusting at some point. It doesn't help either that she broadcasted her issue for all the world to see. It's one thing to create content to serve as caution for people to take gambling with utter care, but it's another to subject yourself to the rest of the world where you can be laughed at, ridiculed, blamed for your situation which as a matter of fact, you're supposed to be blamed for anyway, but at least keep some dignity to yourself yeah?

Let her cry, it is part of the experience. We all have experienced a feeling of sadness, pain and maybe even cried during our early days as gamblers. It is one experience that we never forget. But the difference between us and the lady in the narration is that we didn't tell the world whole. Now that thing is going to be on the internet forever. Her kids are going to watch it.

Trading, Bitcoin investment and gambling all have almost the same experience. When we lose or things don't go out way, we cry.

Exactly. Gambling has only two options, it will make you instantly rich or it will make you totally doomed and lost all your hard-earned money. In this situation, it seems like the lady had used a very huge amount and lost all of it with just a blink of an eye. That’s what one gets when you believe that gambling will provide us with big opportunities to be in profits, when in reality it’s the opposite. Gambling with sports is not actually bad, it only gets wrong when you start falling into its gambling addiction, and that’s how this lady had fallen into its trap.
