That's what you called greed, the person in the post experience the luxurious life of having more money but the thing is he didn't think much and spend a alot in so many things, it can't be helped maybe he is just fullfilling his childhood wants or dream but the thing is the most practical is that the person in the post should have some money for investment or anything that could make his money grow, execpt gambling, see that example because of the taste of winning a lot of money drive him to gamble more in order to win again, little they know is that the more you have the taste of winning in gambling the more you will want to bet more, see rhe example, from a lot of money to none, its because they didn't learn to control themselves and let the greed and desire take over and that is a common mistakes fron those new in gambling.

Do you say Greed!! This story is a thrilling one and usually a rare cases of gambling experience but i think he's an irresistible gambler that spend lavishly at such not thinking there would be better means of doubling his winnings and again he's usually on the lucky hand to have such wins but what's advice is that he should be diligent in his spendings even if he's not using much funds to gamble but he should take a wisely decision whenever he makes such big wins.
So I don't think is greed,he's just being callous over the end outcome which he'll regret.

He really had to try hard to stop gambling. He had seen for himself how gambling could quickly drain all his money. If he can't control himself, he will get worse and worse and won't be able to quit gambling.

He needed to discuss this matter with those closest to him to get advice before things really turned bad. He can still get a chance to change but he has to really try.

Hopefully, he can forget about gambling and build a better life. He really had to start all over again and without gambling.

Someone who is never satisfied will feel regret if they have experienced a loss that they should have been able to enjoy with many times the amount of profit. This is also a lesson for all of us. If we have to be complacent if we have obtained the profit we can achieve, we shouldn't. We overdo it or get more. Sometimes luck only comes once in a lifetime, so don't waste it if you think you've got it.

I am not surprised, when gamblers get lucky more than once they always expect it to keep coming, I believe this man wasted the money because it was an easy earning for him, this is why gambling money is a easy way out, you worked for nothing.

The only part that I feel he handled well was that of his mother, even if he go broke for a while now he gave his mother good amount of money. Many people who have never hit a jackpot gambling will do the same, the thrill of winning will take over them, and they will think about spending the money and going back.

Unlike someone like me who will think about how hard it will be to win ever again, because I believe that once you hit a jackpot or big amount its going to be even harder to win again, as the casino will try to take that money back from you, the only way you can be ahead of them is discipline.

If you can gamble and hit a jackpot then proceed to invest the money into things that will bring more money then you are responsible person.

What exactly do you think we call this type of gambler? For he is not only addicted to gambling, but he seem to be also addicted to buying stuffs he obviously does not need, and absolutely not interested in..

Again, alot of money can be made through gambling if one is lucky, but it also can destroy the person if he or she does not, or fail to control him or herself..
Anyways, lets discuss about this, feel free to put your comments below.

Money that comes easy also goes away very easy. Like the English saying "Easy come, easy go."
This guy paid off his debts, gave 10K to his mother and donated several grand for charity. I see this as a win.
The problem is the greed and the desire to always want more and more. Humans are designed this way.
Also this guy is an impulsive buyer, I guess. Maybe that's normal. If I won a big amount of money, maybe I would probably start buying shit I don't need left and right.
At least he's not a hardcore gambling addict, who got into big debts and ruined his life. He still has the chance to quit gambling and go on with his life.

There is this belief that people tend to carelessly spend money they didn't work hard to earn than money they actually worked hard for and it seems most gamblers apply this belief in their personal lives alot. It is very common to see most gamblers pay for strangers' orders at the club, buy expensive stuffs they don't really need, make more friends and embark on trips that are not really necessary. All this happen shortly after a big win. Ofcourse there is more from where that money spent came from.

If as a gambler, big wins trigger you to spend lavishly till nothing is left on you, then you are still irresponsible. A person that can set limits for himself while gambling should be able to still set some standard rules on how to effectively utilise the money won from gambling. The young man in OP's story is not only an addict but a wasteful spender and he will continue in that cycle until he realises that there is no investment in his name. He needs help.

is that how it happens when someone who has never hit a jackpot before finally gets that much money and doesn't know what to use it for, so he just uses it to buy useless things and waste his money on gambling. he is not only a gambling addict, but also he is financially retarded, because he does not know how to allocate his money and use it for things that are much more profitable for him. even though if he was wise, from the start he could have quit his gambling and used the money to invest and open a business, apart from earning more money, he could also earn passive income which could make him prosperous.

I will not say he bought unnecessary things because that was not the problem. The problem is that he spent almost all the money on gambling and lost it. Gambling is still the problem. This is how someone that become rich very fast become poor again very fast. He should not just think about it and let it be a bygone because thinking about it will only not be helping his health at all. Going for business would have been better.

I think that person needs company. He needs people who he can socialize with more often than just being alone every single time. The fact that he has been gambling, hit a huge win, bought a lot of stuff which was all for his own entertainment, that's a serious indicator that he might be a person don't like to go out and socialise.
Also, I don't blame him for getting the thought of having a good karma or helping someone before you go gambling would help you win more. Nah, we all that doesn't work that way.
Well, the good thing happened to that person is that, he finally realized the reality of life and gambling.

Using your own point, should we call this person an introvert ?, I am just like him in this aspect, but I don't go around buying stuffs that I don't need.

Since I was very young I have learned to always enjoy my company alone, even when too much people come looking I always feel discomfort and unsafe, I like keeping my circle very small.

I use most of my money on investment, it is all I know how to do, I spent most of my lonely time improving myself, I have created few online businesses, I have turned into a Bitcoin miner, and I have to monitor these all by myself, I really don't have the time for unprofitable things.

When I am free I do watch movies and anime, and I enjoy doing this, I think this person was never alone right from the beginning, he was not used to this lifestyle, I am thinking that things changed around him suddenly and he needs the attention from others.

That person is too deep on his gambling activities to the point that it also affected his mental judgement and psychological reasoning. His impulsiveness has taken over which tends to interfere with his decision-making skills. That explains on why he is mostly purchasing stuff that he does not need due to the mental stress that gambling has affected him.

This kind of story is very unfortunate- it really highlights the effect of gambling and on how it can snowball into something bigger and problematic if that person does not seek any kind of professional help/support from anyone.

Quote from: sunsilk on April 16, 2024, 10:39:11 PM

It was better that he did some purchases and give his mom some money and debt paid. Because if it he didn't do and bought all of those stuff then for sure that the money will just be going back to the casino again.
So, aside from being addicted gambler, he's also a reckless spendthrift that have bought stuff that he is not using.

I do agree that the silver lining with this tory is that he was able to satisfy his debt and he was also able to give something to his mother. Unfortunately, such cannot justify that he bought useless stuff that would most likely cost him more in the future.

Again, this is just one of the thousand stories about a person suffering from gambling addiction. I just hope that this serves as a reminder to everyone that if you are going to gamble, make sure to have an allocated budget and you stick to it to avoid any chasing of losses.

There is a statement he made there that "No matter how much you win you can never get satisfied". Yes this is a result of not being able to control himself, like as I always said whenever you have the first winning its just like giving you a free ticket to keep gambling because you would have this mindset that there are other possible huge luck out there you could win higher than what you have won. Of curse there is every possibility that you could win higher or above what you had won before but have you also consider the other side of yourself what it's causing towards your life because to me, when you gamble and win it increases your interest to keep gambling the more at this point you won't know when you might got sink in gambling addictions.

If it is on a winning position then that's clearly greed. Self discipline will indeed aid this however it is the hardest thing to imply to oneself, which makes this a bit understandable. Personally, I am guilty of such thing, there are times I would be desiring to earn more than to settle with a small profit, then end up with a complete loss but that's gambling. It will never be too late to make a change for yourself, for the betterment, all you need is to have the initiative or else, quit gambling because in the long run you'd more likely just be in deep loss.

Then he is not principled enough, See to win in gambling for long race is to apply oneself some kinds of guidelines where you can stand on those rules or personal choice. Let say as gambler you have made a deposit of $200 or more to gamble with it for the duration of 30 days and more, and your interest is to be gambling every day with at least $5 whenever this amount is exhausted the next to do is to stop gambling for that day. Even though you win or not don't push further, this is how gambling addiction is being controlled, but some may get weird over their lost and decides to keep gambling till they restore back their lost $5 which I think is a very bad thing to practice as a gambler because when you stand on every decision you have made makes you responsible gambler and people would be amazed to see you gambling and not being affected along the line.

When he won a large amount of money in gambling, I don't have any questions about that. Maybe the only thing that was not good about his experiences when he won large amounts in gambling was that he was always lucky like that; he even mentioned the name of Jesus Christ, something that's not good for me. If he's gambling and he's lucky,

he should just gamble and don't touch or mention the name of Jesus Christ; it shouldn't be mentioned in vain, as if he's showing that Jesus Christ likes gambling and his winning.
If you often win, I also saw that you are addicted to expensive things, although you are also a giver, and at the same time you are a loving child.

What will come to his mind next is he'd sell all of those stuff that are in the boxes, will deposit the money to the casino and boom some another good story that had made him xxxxx money and multiplier.

Boredom could be so frustrating that loneliness that comes with it can make you want to take comfort even in uncomfortable phenomenon. I think we gamblers should also make it a culture to find other productive activities to engage into or even spending time with families and colleagues to avoid exposing ourselves to such disastrous losses.

Do you know that the craziest thing about loneliness is that you can be in the midst of bunch of people and still feel lonely because it is more of a subjection perception of being alone than it is in relation to one's physical space. A productive activity one can engage in to rid yourself of loneliness is teams sports - football, hockey, basketball etc In my estimation anyone with the subjective perception of being alone shouldn't turn to gambling. It is not a teams sports unless you are gambling with family and friends.

Quote from: Wakate on April 16, 2024, 04:32:10 PM

It is better we try controlling our gambling habit now before things might get worse that what we thought. We need to keep adjusting in a way that the consequences of a reckless gambling will not descent on us.

Being honest with ourselves is one of the ways to measure were we are on the gambling addiction scale so as to enable us take action. Controlling our gambling habits includes setting up rules for our times which include- how many times we'd gamble during the week, what time of the day we'd gamble on those days, how many hours we'd spend on gambling, how much we'd spend and others. These are personal gambling rules that fosters self-control.

There are people who are compulsive accumulators, this is good in a Country that has inflation problems, corralitos or something like that , where they compare things they don't need, but at the time of crises what they do is sell it to have some money, not It's bad but you have to know how to do it, although the player is a bit addicted, he should get in touch with what he can do well, for this reason, in order to have real bets, we must manage many conditions that Favor us, for the casinos too, So in view of these things it has to be given that control is very important in all this , for that Reason when we are looking for more things in the casino we must be very realistic with things, we cannot spend more than we should, the story is Just enough to realize what we Should not do.

I thought that this was one of those stories with a happy ending. I thought it was going to end with a sentence like, "yeah, I got back at those casinos for all the losses I have ever experienced by closing my account and quitting gambling forever." Unfortunately, I am disappointed not because it didn't end that way but in his moment of vulnerability which for me is the time when he was experiencing a winning streak, he had no friend or confidante to talk some sense into him to slow down. Well, his losses has slowed him down. There is a lesson to learn and he has learned it the hardway.

I think this is why gambling is not for everybody. We need to be prepared for the future consequence because if we don't have self control, we might hurt ourselves at the end. This is a story for the strong not for the weak. There are people that gambling has done bad to them than good and we need to learn from this kind of life story so that we can always adjust so that we don't let gambling to eat us up to the bone. It is better we try controlling our gambling habit now before things might get worse that what we thought. We need to keep adjusting in a way that the consequences of a reckless gambling will not descent on us.

Read the whole story in the shot I post below, you can also click the shot to view the original post on reddit, and as well read reddit users comments on the post..

The lesson to his story is just as we have known with gamblers who become greedy after good wins. He made more effort to win and he kept playing with high stake instead of taking a break and continue the next day. We also learnt that in between lock, you can lose part of your money or all depending on the appetite of risk taken and increasing your stake randomly is one factor that pulls gambler down.

However, I notice he is either a philanthropist or someone who likes to gift people. Nothing is bad on that but it has to come with moderation and you won't depend on gambling to be gifting people or making people to rely on you to give them some financial benefits, that is already an addiction in itself and dependent on winning which means he will pressure himself in his gambling and that isn't nice to be playing under pressure.

Hi everyone,

So, like few hour ago, I was scrolling through my reddit feed and found a post that was made on one of the gambling channels on the platform, I opened the post to read and behold, it was a gambler telling his own story and experience in gambling, I found it quite interesting to read, plus his experiences could also serve as a valuable lesson to some of us here, so, I thought I should share it.

Read the whole story in the shot I post below, you can also click the shot to view the original post on reddit, and as well read reddit users comments on the post..

Anyways, lets discuss about this, feel free to put your comments below.

I have read the whole story but from here I understand that gambling can make a man destitute very quickly. Here I would blame the person you quoted because he should not have used his entire winnings to gamble. When this quoted person made 30k by depositing 2k, he should have kept 2k from this for gambling and the remaining 28k for himself but he got greedy and used it in full bets hoping to get more and ended up losing it all. Every person should take a lesson from this because gambling platforms should never use the entire portion of income. Always use a fixed income budget for gambling. Also, when gambling has high profits, one must control oneself and take time to participate in the bet later.

Sorry for the disappointment, it's a never happy ever after real life story and I think the guy in question is a gambling freak, as in, he's a gambling addict judging by how he couldn't control himself to holdback and enjoy his money after closing his account he still went on creating another new account and got himself wasted. Fuck him for making the story not to end in favour of a gambler at least for ones.

Common man, you sound too harsh on the guy as if you have some personal beef with him. This can indeed happen to anyone.

In my estimation, the guy got carried away. It is possible that he had so much time on his hand that all he did was gamble. You know loneliness can also make someone find comfort in gambling and it doesn't mean that the person is a gambling freak. I know that when it is done without moderation it could result in gambling addiction.

Smiles! Not at all, there's no hard feelings not to mention a beef. And it's true this can happen to anyone it's just that we pray it doesn't happen to us using this experience as a reminder that gambling should be treat with a sense of maturity and discipline. Boredom could be so frustrating that loneliness that comes with it can make you want to take comfort even in uncomfortable phenomenon. I think we gamblers should also make it a culture to find other productive activities to engage into or even spending time with families and colleagues to avoid exposing ourselves to such disastrous losses.
