Topic: Can Gambling affect your relationship? - page 24. (Read 4383 times)

If you are right, what happened is that sometimes we observe things when it comes to ages, things that have to do with how to face them in front of a casino or any area of life, because everyone has their own way of seeing things, I have seen that there are adults up to 50-60 years old who look like they have never matured, it is incredible, but since they make such childish mistakes that are too obvious, then these things are the ones that one says should not get out of control, especially everything in these things that have to do with the ways of managing money, and well that makes the difference when we see ourselves like this in that way everything that a mature person can do can be taken into consideration, the way to attack a problem, of How to react to things that produce a lot of adrenaline, all this is very different from how a Mature person Reacts to a person who is not mature, age is important, yes, but sometimes age is not adjusted chronologically.

I have friends who have played in casinos for many years, and they cannot have any money in their hands because they leave it in the casino, and they do not win, but what they do is betray like crazy, and do something that normally a person should not do, the most common is his friend who is almost 46 years old and it is still like that, what he earns in the month, because he cannot go through a casino, because if he does he leaves everything there, and I have wondered , that when he does that, how will he maintain himself? to buy food from him? For the basic things is that literally the things you do with the money is leave it there, there is no other way, it is always that way, that is why when we are in a casino and we see these types of people, well we have to be aware, At least for me it takes a lot of work to earn my living, then the effort, dedication, is Something that is rewarded with that , so we can't leave it all there because it's a great Irresponsibility.

As long as you can control yourself while gambling and don't exceed your limits, you will be fine, and it won't interfere with your relationships with other family members or even your environment. But the reality is that when a gambler has lost a lot, he cannot accept his losses easily and instead continues gambling until his money runs out. And when his money runs out, he will feel annoyed and take it out on the people around him. That's the beginning of their relationship being disturbed, and if that person doesn't realize their mistake and apologize, it may be difficult for the relationship to recover.

Of course they can have an impact. because, as for me, the game should only be personal and only at one’s own expense, without involving anyone in the game and at the same time bringing discomfort to other people. If the problems from your losses begin to affect other people, the result will not be long in coming.

I've heard a lot of stories about how gamblers use life savings to gamble without informing their partners, even if they do inform their partners, is life savings the kind of money that's worth using for gambling?

If I have a partner who's into gambling I will be careful with them, to make sure that they don't do something very stupid, honestly, it's all about what you pick to be most serious about, it should be the Jobs or businesses, or future investment plans, any other things apart from these is a yellow flag.

Gambling is all about luck and the only little skill that you should get yourself involve with is managing your gambling risk, only gamble if there is enough money to cover your expenses and responsibilities, this should comes first and gambling should always come last.

It's simple if you want it to be simple, just follow the rules and gamble with what you can afford to lose, you are a complete loser if you as a gambler make a decision that brings your partner down with you.

That's right, basically gambling is quite a lot, not just purely about luck but as you said there is also a little bit based on skill, and with that we can do a little bit of ways to be able to increase the chances of winning. That's right, like sports betting where we can do a little analysis before choosing a club that can win, and with that means it's true that this bet is not entirely about luck but still in addition to skills we also can't play without luck because maybe that will be able to complete the results of our bets winning or losing at the end of the session.

I honestly quite agree for these two bets and indeed not all bets are the same, but there is still a luck factor in it too. I think sports betting or poker is safer for you, especially to minimize losses so that they are not too big, because the risk here is not like gambling in general, such as slot machines or whatever it is that really only relies on luck.

The root cause of getting that problem is because of the gambling participation and we know the possible after-effect of it.

I get your point but without participating chances not to fall to any of this can done, you need to play with responsibility if you want to keep
your relationship, like what you mentioned, once there's already something happening in the dark.

Meaning to say that there's a problem with handling the situation in your gambling activities, it can spark the problem and may affect your close
relation with your love ones.

This is the reason why there are some rules in gambling. Those rules were implemented in order to prevent this kind of event. Before starting gambling, you need to learn the basics and know what the rules are. Gamble what you can afford to lose. It is a way of entertainment. So you can not use something on which your life depends. This will prevent any issue with wasting money that is needed.
Set a budget. After separating the money that you can afford to lose, you need to set a budget that you can follow for gambling. Don't go over the budget. Doesn't matter what the situation is, always stick to the budget.
Learn to lose. Gambling is a 50/50 chance. You will win and you will also lose. So learn to lose and know the feelings of losing. It will also help you control your emotions.

If you follow these simple rules, you are less likely to get addicted and those events are lees likely going to happen.

Professional gambling is specialist and imo most of us are not capable of being so controlled but anyone can keep a budget.   Mention professional winning in Las Vegas and you risk initiating day dream thinking in people, the path to any profit is more mundane and routine imo.
   Ideally a whole month should have a budget to stop any particular day, say when you have a fight in a relationship which is normal but upsetting; a budget stops one leading to many days of losses.   If you isolate each days budget, dont expect to profit on any particular day and if using all that days money only return back to gamble the next day when you have slept and maybe are calmer.    All of these measures will help to isolate bad gambling behaviour and irrational reactive losses, I never even enjoy this type of loss anyway so why would we do it to ourselves.

While many believe that it's impossible to make money from gambling as an actual gambler, can look at those pro and typical gamblers that make some and lose some. It really varies as per gambler if they have a specific game that they're making a lot of money. E.g poker and sportsbetting. These two are not just all about luck although luck still plays a part on it but most likely, it is the gambler's ability to look and create their own strategies depending on the situation in poker and the same goes in sportsbetting.

It's still about self-control and yes, it is true that this failure of self-control can damage everything which can make the situation worse and it often happens that gamblers lose their families because they choose to continue gambling and it's all about self-control.
But in my personal opinion it all depends on each individual's thoughts, such as how the gambler thinks about gambling, whether he only thinks about fun or thinks of gambling as earning money and from here it is very clear that gamblers who come to have fun, they only gamble for entertainment, but for gamblers who consider gambling as a source of income, I think it is a very bad mindset that a gambler will lose control when experiencing the first loss and continue to chase losses until it reaches the addiction phase.
With this addiction,  gambler doesn't care about anything, even his partner's relationship or even his relationship with his family he won't think about it the most important thing is that he can gamble.

The relationship that will have an indirect impact is family, that is the first thing if the player cannot have control. Don't gamble, even general things like daily money can damage relationships, gambling will be the same and maybe more bad. However, there are also many people who do not face any problems, because of good communication between the family, both with parents and partners and using reasonable money for gambling. Maybe, if someone want to maintain a relationship with their family, it's not just self-control, if possible, it would be better before too late, if husband/wife had control over some important money, so maybe this get caught up in wanting to gamble more which could ultimately affect the relationship.

If we are gambling and lack self-control, it will definitely affect our relationship with the people around us knowingly to us or not, people study us even at unaware and the moment they begin to see some abnormalities with the way on how we gamble, they began to conclude on some things about us which may really affect our relationship with them, also being a gambler, let's try to ensure we gamble responsible in other to make our relationship with others unaffected, people were actually watching at us even though we are not sure of this happening.

Depending on the individual, no gambler can win consistently due to the successful use of game theory. In such cases or in bankruptcy after accepting constant losses people get depressed when gambling becomes addictive self-esteem stress can cause anxiety and depression and it affects family relationships because an addicted person loses control and breaks up relationships. If you use it compulsively or feel out of control it won't take long for things to go sour. They abandon all the important activities of life to gamble they only look for opportunities to gamble and immerse themselves in gambling. But a responsible gambler has no such influence as they are able to control everything.

Gambling can destroy the serenity of both the gambler and their family. You've beautifully described gambling addiction's downward slope from mental anguish to social isolation.

Increasing social interactions can help with healing. But encouraging the person to seek expert help is also vital. Addiction treatment therapists and counselors can help people regain mental and emotional equilibrium. They can help restructure addiction-fueling cognitive habits for lasting recovery and relapse avoidance. Professional support and a strong social network can help you overcome gambling addiction and move forward with strength and hope.

It will be difficult for them to repay the debt because they use it for gambling. Gambling will not give you a win in the sense of getting money but will instead give you a loss. Only a few people can be really lucky in gambling and win many people. But unfortunately, this is what makes these people return to gambling even with money from borrowing. And many have lost their money and even property and other valuables. I even heard of a father who had the heart to sell his child to have money to gamble and it really left scars on the family because a sibling couldn't accept the treatment and instead killed the father. It is truly terrifying to see the impact of gambling on society, which has taken its toll.

Such a mindset should be able to be changed by those who have often experienced gambling losses so that they realize that they need to change their lives to not gamble anymore. They can indeed make money from gambling but won't be able to always make it every day so they need to look for other sources of income that can provide that. If they don't realize it, it's only a matter of time for them until they lose all their money in gambling. And when they experience it, perhaps this situation will have an impact on their relationships with other people because that person will become emotional and so on.

Don't really think its the gambling that causes relationship breakdowns, its when partners or family members are kept in the dark or deceived, which breaks the trust that's so essential in any relationship. It's up to us to make informed decisions, to be self-aware of our behaviors, and to ensure we're not crossing lines that jeopardize our relationships and personal well-being.

Yeah and that's the way it should be guys, obviously it's not a problem if they're just there for leisure on their day off and of course on top of that if they're responsible gamblers then if they end up losing they'll stop and leave and play again on their next day off when they have money they can account for if they lose. As we know that anyone should be like that, come only for entertainment and never more than that, then I make sure they will survive and will not be too down like other people who are addicted in general.

Well that's right, the problem point usually occurs when they experience defeat, they come with the wrong mindset in the sense of gambling for income and obviously that is a very wrong assumption, how can you come to make money in a place that is only limited to luck, it makes no sense. And well when they lose then they will definitely continue to chase victory to replace the defeat in the previous time, that's what usually happens when most of them end up experiencing addiction.

Some addicted gamblers don’t stop gambling even when they are out of money. I have seen people gamble on debt in gambling shops at my place, where paying back the debt is always difficult for them. I have seen people sell their properties just because they want to gamble, and after selling them, they will end up regretting why they did that, and it’s already late. Some people use the money that they are supposed to use and feed themselves to gamble, hoping the money might double and that they will be able to get will increase. Addicted gamblers do crazy things, which are just kind of bad, things that will spoil the reputation of gambling in society.

Some addicted gamblers always have the mindset that they can win life-changing money through gambling. Some of them believe they can make money for survival through gambling, but we shouldn’t have all those things in mind. Whether you are addicted to gambling or not, if you will be making life-changing money through gambling, you will definitely do that. People who are not addicted are making life-changing money through gambling, but if you are expecting a life-changing income through gambling, don’t be surprised that you won’t make it.

There is no problem if you're just the casual type of gambler who wants to spend a couple of bucks enjoying some dice or playing poker at a table and then when you're out of money, you're out as well. That's not an issue for some gamblers that know what they do and the limit that they're setting for themselves. The real problem starts when you gamble, you're also putting your heart and emotion on it and just like in relationships, you're not noticing that the actual relationship that you have are heavily affected when you're already out of yourself.

Yes' it can and it does affect relationships, especially if one of you loses a lot of money gambling. If my partner had a hobby that kept on dragging us down top the bottom, putting us in debt, I'd give him an ultimatum: you either finish with that or we go separate ways. Being honest here won't help, you either keep losing money, or come out of it and live a normal life. I have nothing against gamblers, but a guy who loses all the time is not a good match.


I know people who have money and relationship problems. For example my uncle had a private airplane, but my aunt divorced him, and kicked him out of the house because he was unfaithful.
It's often boredom, lack of real feelings and many other things that cause problems.
