Then they should not be gambling in the first place.

If you have bills to pay and debts to cover, why are you gambling? You would cause unnecessary mental and financial pressure on yourself if you do this. One should only gamble with extra money they have after all bills are paid and they have ensueed that their families are well looked after.
And if they really can’t, better to stick away from gambling for some time. If you are in the position where you can’t afford to lose any more money then just stay away from gambling altogether.

Most likely, there are elements of gambling addiction here. The player does not have any clear strategy, he acts on luck, tries to win again. And when he succeeds, he is not yet completely satisfied. But in general, this is a very interesting problem. Random winning and how to consolidate the initial success in order to put luck to your service. There are people who, after the first success, continue to bet again and again until the initial series of wins turns into zero on the account. These are always sad and offensive stories.

Gamblers are always under that pressure, they have debts to pay back, they have families to look after too while reeling under debts.

This becomes vicious cycle where the gambler continues to make riskier bets in hopes that one big win will eventually pay back everything they lost, but this is a mistaken approach. The money lost will never come back unless they stop and start working hard to make that money.

It is important to know that every gambler can control their habits and prevent spiraling down the hole.

Unless it's a gambler that doesn't know how to control his emotions toward winning money probably amount he has never won in his life, such type of money can make you make wrong decisions but if it's money that you are used to and has probably won before, I'm not sure if it's going to be a problem. All you just need to do is to play your game as you have been doing and improve on places where you have been not making progress in some games.

Another thing is even though you are winning amount you have probably used to, don't go above your previous threshold of bankroll, it's doesn't increase your chance of winning neither is it going to make you lose but when you lose, you will lose more unless you win most often and that's what we know it's not certain, you never can tell if you are going to win.

Yes you are right.
Addictions is not about winning or losing, it's about to satisfy the urge of gambling. That is why most times that one is not busy they always gamble to keep themselves busy. But it's not everyone that gamble during their free times that is addicted actually. Addiction is just like gambling all the times or a gambler that can not stay a single day without gambling (even ones). However the worse sets of gamblers are the ones that also go ahead to borrow money to satisfy there urge of gamble. Although, I do not think that every addicted gamblers enjoy every of their time while they gamble.

Well  from what I understand  from the guy in the story, he is kinda smarter than we might think. The action of deleting his casino after realizing a huge win is kinda smart move. I know of few person  who have made millions in one sitting and still loss it all to gamble. And making purchases could be a way of not spending the money back into gamble. So yes he might be addicted but not at a critical stage. There are chances for recovery. Knowing fully well that gambling can not be all that profitable, one can set a stop loss slightly above the initial amount he started with so that if he fall back, he will not end up exhausting everything. Though there are times where this strategy won't work, and that is when the better keeps losing from his first game till he finally exhausts his money for gambling.

Winning comes with a feeling that you may begin to think you have gotten your way around gambling and another attempt could mean your next biggest win which is just ahead that you are very likely to get. So winning is even a point where one should stop at or take a break if abrupt stop would be challenging as that's they best way I think to avoid addiction ahead.

Loosing your money to the casino with the false hopes that you will eventually win it back some day could be a reason why some persons get addicted even before they realize it and then it could turn out too late already as they have already had a good part of their funds sinked into gambling so it will feel like a loosing game backing out.

You are right and I agree with you that it will take the return of 5x which a users win from gambling on any gambling site. So, a gambler must have to be careful while gambling, and also at the same time the user should have a fresh mentality and must not have any physical or mental pressure as it can be turned into a loss for the gambler.

He said that we will never satisfied with how much we win in gambling, that's another way to say we will never satisfied with the amount and money we make from working. Almost all people in this world are making money, if he can't be satisfied with the money he make via gambling, he will not able to feel satisfied with his wealth too.

He's not broke because he give some money to his mother and he also paid off all the debt, so it means he's debt free and he can start to catch his dream!

What a story, one thing I know about gambling is that when you win it turns you to an addict and you can't leave gambling because you see it as a place to get easy money. If he had lost the first bet maybe he would have changed his mind about gambling, the winning kept him playing believing he will will continue win and even went on giving alot of money to charity and also buying lots of stuffs he don't actually need. Honestly he spent the first winning well paying his debt, giving his mom some money, fixing his car and so more but the second winning he spent it too lavishly, maybe if he had took his time to save the money and even gambled responsibly he won't be this broke already. Onr thing we need to know about betting Is that he can't always pay us, the bad days is going to be more than the good days. I really feel sorry for him winning this much Money and going broke within that short period of time.

It is true that a gambler can become more addicted to gambling either because of winning or losing. There are some gamblers who become overconfident after a few wins that time can bring a big problem for that gambler. There are many gamblers who have lost many times more gambling money than they have due to small wins. And when a gambler loses money over and over again, he will definitely break down from mental point of view, making it difficult for him to win at gambling. So I will agree with you that if one can not over indulge in gambling but can satisfy oneself with small wins be it win or loss. Gamblers who regularly take breaks from gambling are definitely good gamblers.

The times you need to be careful the most are the times that you win from gambling because if you don't put yourself under control you might continue playing to try and Make more profit, this might result to series of losses and can also make you lose your entire bankroll. Gambling is a game of luck and it's important to always give it breaks whenever you are winning or losing. The system isn't programmed to favour gamblers that are consistent players, as long you are in this Category you will always lose. Don't get carried away by your lucky wins.

Everyone has certainly experienced the experience as you said in gambling, when they have gained their confidence they will certainly want even greater success and maybe only some people can stop after getting the success and enjoy the success that has been obtained, you are right when we lose money the result of our hard work in gambling is certainly very disappointing and indeed it will be better for us to be able to stop the activity gambling when we have experienced several defeats.
Forcing luck after finding victory I think this is very bad because we cannot know what will happen when we force luck and we can see from most people who force luck after finding victory, they will experience defeat again and only regret after the loss of everything they have gotten.

Speaking from experience, you must be careful when you are winning because it comes with a lot of temptation to continue playing. Gambling has a way of giving you money and taking x5 back from you, this might include the money you have worked hard to get. Losing your hard earned money isn't really pleasant and it might ruin you mentally if it happens continually. It's important to take breaks from it when you are winning Because if you keep pushing your luck you might end up losing everything you have won .

Regret will really be always in the end and this is something that should really be realized by someone. Basing up on the story on OP then its good that he had made out some consideration on buying up something that he can hold rather than on spending those winnings back again or losing it into the casino. We do know that house do always win in the end on speaking about slots and dice games or even to those crash or roullete.
On the moment that you would really be that not able to control your greed then this is the time or moment that you would really be losing all the money that you had earned earlier. This is why it would really be that crucial that you should really know on when to take profits and when to settle down and buying up something that you can hold and feel. I do agree that we humans would never be contented on which on the moment
that we've seen that we are on such winning condition then we would really be asking for more. We would really be that starting out to regret if we have seen that our losses becomes deeper and deeper.
Contentment is something not that a vocabulary for most gamblers, there might be some gamblers or people who do able to control themselves but majority will really be failing on doing so.

Once you are trapped in that endless loop of constantly playing these games you will definitely lose, cause the house always wins, it doesn't matter how many times you win as long as you keep going back you are definitely going to lose everything and More.. discipline is very important, we are all greedy by nature but you must learn to control it. Winning is based on luck, you can't possibly think that you will be lucky everyday it's not possible..after hitting a big win run away for a long time and put those money you've won into good use

That's the question we wants to knows the answered because by using $35 and wins $35k balance is difficult and we can lose all of that money if we are not lucky. But that man is really lucky so he can wins that much money.

We knows that continue playing gambling using more money can leads us to gets lose and even that can makes us loses all of our money. If someone can wins much money, he can allocates his wins money to the right needs and he can saves the other wins money for his future. He will not have a problem in the future because he can uses his wins money with right. He can have a better future than before and with his wins money, he can use it to have new business that can gives him more money. That's a wise step from someone who can wins from gambling and we can also do the same as him.

The temptations of gambling makes them forgets to replaces gambling with something that can helps them to stay away from gambling. It's normal, especially if they often playing gambling in their spare time so they will feels difficult to stops their habit in gambling. But they must trying to learn to controls themselves so they can reduce their gambling activity and doing other things that can gives them the other pleasure. If they can realizes that gambling can makes their lives in danger, they will do other things and will not use gambling too often because that can makes them in trouble. They will knows how to fills their spare time by doing the other activities so they will not attract to playing gambling instead just use the other things that will helps them to reduce their time in gambling.

Who knows. Someone may be so lucky to hit a jackpot on his first gambling shot. This is something amazing and hard to believe but not impossible to happen.

Sometimes you will be surprised to find that people after winning a good amount is gambling are unable to spend it wisely. Some may lose it by gambling the whole amount again and losing it. Some may spend it on things that the gambler would not have bought if he had hard earned money. Since the gambling money earned is not hard earned and there is the least effort in it, you will usually find it people spending it unwisely.

I think they need to realize the if one day they won a jackpot, this is not something they will win often. The money won and spent properly is an art in itself and not many gamblers are aware of it.

I don’t understand why adults capable of self-analysis cannot consciously replace gambling with something? There are many activities that give us a feeling of progress/winning, the simplest examples are growing plants (edible or not) and computer games (especially incremental ones, they are very close to gambling in spirit). I did both, and for me these are all similar activities, so if I suddenly have problems with gambling, I know what I can switch to.

He played with Crazy Time with $35 bets... that's far away from careful gambling. I wonder how big his bets were when he played with a $35k balance?

It's an interesting story about the guy who won a lot, spent some on his house and gadgets, and then returned most of it because he wanted to win even more. He had a nice balance, and I believe he thought he would rock the house with that balance, but that didn't happen. Something similar happened to me many times, with smaller amounts. I go x5 from my deposit and instead of continuing to play the same, or even better withdrawing most of it, I raise bets and just bust the entire balance. Well, that wish to win even more and more (greediness) can really make a mess in our minds. When we sober up from that feeling, it's already too late.
