Topic: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. - page 4. (Read 2143 times)

If that was true then why the woman here in our subject ended up crying due to a loss? Oh well, she was only one anyway and I can rarely saw threads like this in the forum. I still believe that it wasn't about the gender. Both women and men can have the same capacity when it comes to gambling if they will do the same measures.

Gambling isn't only about money management but taking risk can also be a good thing here as we can get lucky in our first or last rolls. And betting a huge amount is only the way to earn big profits most of the time. If we are into money management it means we can be playing for the profit and not really for fun.

Hopefully, her family can continue to support her and provide her with the comfort she needs so she doesn't despair again. And the most important thing is that she doesn't have to gamble anymore, even if it's just for fun, because she has had bad experiences. After all, she didn't control herself. She can't turned back the time and now, bit's better for her to focus on doing other things where she can earn more money.

We already know the risks of gambling addiction, especially since we have seen many people who have experienced it. We must be able to prevent ourselves from experiencing gambling addiction in various ways that we know so that we will not have the same experience as that woman.

It may be true that he has been on social media for a long time so there is a possibility that his family also knows what happened to him. But this is a valuable lesson for him and us so that no one will experience it again. And be careful if we want to upload videos so that we don't get judged or someone doesn't like us.

That means she has to learn self-control so she doesn't have an experience like that again. But the best thing is that she doesn't need to gamble anymore to avoid big losses because she can't control herself when he gambles. I don't know how long the woman will experience her sadness, especially since she may have lost a lot.

Well, you don’t have to wonder anymore as everyone is free to do whatever they want. You should get used to seeding more women in the gambling scene.
I don’t think all women are as helpless and emotionally fragile and they sure know the risks involved as men do. Everyone and not just women can get very dramatic after losing out on a bet. They’re way more men than women in the gambling scene today and if you do some little research, you’ll find cases where men have become so emotional about their losses that they go ahead to do some stupid stuff. As there are fewer women gambling, stories of them being dramatic would probably be noticed more often.

It depends on the individual and how he/she handles situations like these and nothing to do with gender. I know of women who are risk takers and who keep their emotions in check.

It is not really the point that what factors you are looking at happens to her alone. Even under boy has played and lost his school fees.

She is just a lady and this buttress that point saying women are weaker sex, guys consistently play without winning and they go to sleep to try another chance. Men take things that come to them any how it came even in the hard way. This probably a publicity stunt for sympathy that she is also gambling to try a chance of having some guys come to support her financially.

Before we jump into addiction, I'll want to agree strongly with your point on she been in serious trouble. People loose money from gambling daily and we don't hear about it neither do they flaunt it on social media except they're dragging a possible Telegram group owner for supplying them games that turned south. But in her case, I suspect she used funds meant for another thing to adventure into gambling and that hurts deeper cos she has to not just live with the loss but also work to replace the lost funds. I just hope its not tuition fees though.

People really need to think twice before they begin to gamble and it is cases like this one that make me think like that, after all this is a person that has the legal age and right to gamble, however it can be seen by her reaction and all the money that she lost that she has no business gambling at all, after all did she ever thought about the possibility of losing her money, and if not why is that? Anyone that takes the time to read a little bit about gambling knows that you are bound to lose a little bit more than what you earn, and yet she was completely unprepared for this.

But it seems that he has been in social media for a long time already as per her account? So for sure her families knows that she is up too and could probably be accepting the fact that she lost in gambling and then venting in public. Yeah, maybe some of them are embarrassed, but we all know that everything now is in social media to make money posting videos. So you will be the judged.


That is the very first mistake of this newbie (if she is indeed a newbie). Even us experienced gamblers already, we play with the money that we can afford to lose. But there are times that really are out of control and gamble more from our initial capital. And if we lose, the feeling is very bad that it can affect us mentally for a couple of days. So for sure this lady will feel that and that could be the reason why she is crying like that.

Well, it seems she's already made one mistake by losing in gambling, and now another by venting on social media. You can really see how desperate she is, and it's clear he's in some serious trouble as he's making decisions that aren't ethical anymore. The thing is, once those mistakes are made, there's no turning back the clock. At this point, it's the family's role to provide comfort and support because this is when family is truly needed.

Addiction can be a real financial and life-wrecker, especially in gambling. It's something that shouldn't have happened in the first place. That's why emphasizing education and discipline in gambling is incredibly important to prevent this from happening again.

Her family members, who didn't know anything about her gambling, would even feel embarrassed if they saw the video of her crying. They might also feel angry and ask the woman why she did it and upload it to the internet because it just shows her stupidity to the public, which is inappropriate. She can tell her family or friends about her gambling losses but not upload them to the internet.

Even if he has only gambled a few times and looks like a novice gambler, he should not bet an amount he cannot afford. She should have realized this before she gambled, but it was too late because she had already lost her money and could not recover it. Hopefully, she is truly sorry for what she has done and will not do it again.

Yes, I don't know what is the reason why gambling is always dominated by men, but what I know is that usually those who like challenges are men, so with this alone in my opinion it is quite natural that men always dominate gambling which means that most gamblers are men, and also besides that someone who is obliged to make a living is the men in a family, therefore they at least have the freedom to where they allocate the money from their work. It is true that on the other hand women are vulnerable to pressure while in gambling there is a lot of pressure that they will feel, so maybe even though gambling does not see gender at all but with that alone I think it can be understood that all the risks and pressures that exist in gambling are not suitable for women.

Basically, men who are strong enough to face all problems can be very weak when facing the downturn of gambling, well, especially for women who have a gentle soul, so maybe that's a little logic that makes sense enough to be a differentiator even though gender doesn't matter there, and also yes, it's better for us as men to save them, like you said, because if it's too late then I'm not sure they can pass all the tests that are there.

Gambling is majorly engaged by men for some reasons that the female gender aren't good and one of the is risk taking. Though gambling isn't gender based which means that any gender is absolutely free to gamble, it's still advised that women who can't stand the pressure that comes with taking those risks shouldn't engage themselves in gambling.
The kind of surprising shock that comes with losing your hard earned money in gambling can't just be managed by 80% of women population if you ask me so I'm other to save them from the shock, it's better to tell any lady that wants to gamble the disadvantages of gambling before she embarks on it

Actually seeing female gamblers use to be very rare compare to men, I understand that one of the reasons while most women doesn't gamble is because they love respect and there dignity but however they believe that most people will see them as an irresponsible person, although I don't no about your side but were I come from you will hardly see a lady gambling, however not because they don't no how to gamble but because of the people perception on female gambling.

On a normal sense women are easily emotional in everything so imagine how they could feel if there gambling go against them, of course they are likely to cry there eyes out.

This is one of the reason why they said gambling is not for everybody because it has do with mind, emotions and determination for you to be able to withstand the pressure of losing a game because most of the lady feel that watching other people win from there gambling that they could also venture into it and start winning immediately without knowing the factors involved.

Women actually make better gamblers than men. Several opinion pools shows that women understand money management better than men. This is the reason they make better gamblers than men. If you remember that money management is one of the biggest challenge of gamblers, then you will agree with me on this.

Yes, that's why before we enter a gambling game, we have to take into account all the risks. And we must have a minimum amount of money to play. If I look at cases of women who really want to get an instant financial boost in gambling, and these women hope to win, there are many cases like this in every country and as far as I know, in these gambling games it is regulated. to experience defeat.

well, that what is worrying if there might be criticism or bullying after he uploads the video, maybe he can receive all the criticism or bullying but maybe his family members will also receive the bullying and it would be very sad if that happens because family members dont know what the problem is suddenly getting bullied like that and unconsciously uploading the video has made things difficult for himself and his family.
and I am pretty sure that he only bet a few times in gambling because looking at the story written by the OP he like a beginner gambler who does not know any limits and can not accept all the risks that will occur in gambling. so maybe he really felt sorry when he lost the bet and after that ignored the limit.

First time I heard about this, and I think it's crazy. As a gambler, we should be responsible enough to know the risk of what we entered. Gambling sites won't give back the money that we spent, they will just keep on taking and it won't end unless you win, or you get out. That's the only two options we have and they won't even bother about us even if we tell a sad story that we badly need that money.
This is a business not a charity, the risk is higher because we are trying to win against them, and they will need to protect themselves and that is called the house edge. I am sad for her but that should not be posted in social media for privacy. Plus, she won't hear any good words from people who will read about this. It's a jungle out there filled with bad people hiding in their avatars.

I still wonder what a woman is lurking around for in gambling, they can't take risk, afford to loose money or even get the mind of gamblers, women are very emotional and therefore cannot have that kind of a risk bearing mind to take risk for gambling, she would have expected to see the winning coming instead of losses but things came to her surprised all of a sudden that she discover her money is gone for good.

1. Gambling is not for the weak and its also not for kids
2. Don't gamble with funds you can't loose or forgo.
3. Don't have expectations on gambling outcomes as they are not guaranteed.


The above should be the watch word for people who have considered to delve into the gambling industry. If you consider it an occupation, you might get the biggest disappointment of you life. As much as it has given people fortunes beyond their expectation, it has also extracted fortunes from their wallets.

There are always wins and losses but the biggest potential opportunity that gamblers always face is defeat because losing in gambling is certain and guaranteed different from winning that can be achieved if you are just lucky.

This woman was hysterical she cried and regretted what she had done because she made big mistake and resulted in losing a very large amount of money.
I was surprised that he cried and regretted it because it was all his choice and the decision to bet was a decision he made without anyone else invitation or order.
When someone tries to gamble they must be aware of all the risks involved and must accept whatever will happen one of which is losing any amount of money.

After this happens I sure he will bet some money again to recover his previous losses.
This is the attitude that gamblers have and I know that people like that will never give up even though they have experienced bad things or bitter experiences unless they have really lost everything anything that can make money then they can indirectly stop doing it.

Are you born yesterday to ask that question? Of course she did that for clout and attention and you're already on point with the notion that she's asking for sympathy but we don't have to be quick to judge because it's not like everyone is the same, there are some people that's really not that good dealing with pain alone and social media seems to be able to do that so I should say that to a certain degree, not to judge the whole person.
I used to think that a lot of people know this but seeing this kind of stuff and knowing that there are people like this that I work with or I have acquainted that thinks that you can make money gambling, it's a good thing that we're reminded from time to time. I guess a lot of people are due for a little self-introspection nowadays.
