No I think you're wrong, you can becoming a professional gambler if you have a good money management and apply some basic strategies like only betting your profits. If you lose while you have only bet some gains, you won't lose any own money at the end.
Even if you have a good money management - gambling is based on randomness or at least some randomness so even if you are strict about how you spend your money - say you start with 11 losses before you get your 1st win - what good would come out of it? And can anyone guarantee you would ever "recover" those 11 losses even with proper money management?
Gambling is based on randomness, the house makes the profits based on house edge - house edge is not based on randomness, the bet you place however is ... so your suggestion has lots of flaws or is lacking some considerations of how gambling really works - and that's assuming you even bet with proper money management - without it after 11 losses you can go broke.
If it has been addicted to gambling it will be hard to heal his soul, anything he can do to earn money to play gambling, yes suppose by borrowing money to people or doing other worst things as you say, for example by Do theft. Until now I was not addicted to gambling, although occasionally likes to gamble.
in my opinion gambling is best done only when we want to play and when I'm bored, but don't get addicted, have to apply 1-5 pairs and then just leave for other activities.Better to be safe than being sorry after you suffer from those worse outcomes from being addicted gambler. Never to think that you can always
recover your losses, it's best to accept your fate and quit don't push it harder it will results to lose everything.

Well, gambling addiction may have been a factor but I suppose there were still quite a lot of problems with the mans life that resulted in such a situation to occur.
Also, I doubt anyone would do anything over the line IF it wasn't addiction. Addiction could bring the worst out of someone after all. Or rather, well, in this case, money could bring the worst of someone.

Most of us are enjoying playing gambling and think just for fun, and if we got lucky, we could gain an extra profit. But some of the other players take it seriously because they invest knowledge, time, and effort to study gambling and also to win those every game. There are a lot of people obsessed with playing gambling even they are already losing many times still they want to play, and this may cause an uncontrolled mindset because you are unstable, you want to earn back your money or earn more profit, not to lose. By these, they make some mistakes or decisions, just improper self-control in playing.
Damn!
crazy story.
I wish people opened up more for therapy and had more empathy with other beings and more love to themselves.
Definitely only art and love can save the world.

I don't think that it will happen to myself since i am not a person who is not comfortable not having any money that I can use when I want to buy something I like but I know someone that always go to casino and even sold his car just to have money to gamble in the casino.
I feel the same. I've never done anything I should be ashamed of when it comes to money, gambling, borrowing, whatever. I'm not and have never been in debt and I don't feel like I'll ever be addicted to gambling. I just don't feel it and know that I can stop at any time. It doesn't draw me in and I don't think about it when I'm doing other things.
The stories from OP's links are tragic but they don't happen often. Think of how many people get mugged everyday and how many employees steal from their employers. These things happen and gambling related crimes are a very small piece of the pie.

Truly, these cases speaks for themselves. Now, although we may say it to aloud that it's only the players responsibility to play carefully, but we all know that human beings are greedy by birth and mistakes happen. Not totally their fault, as gambling indeed can and is addictive for most gamblers. We as a society should do something about this which has claimed lives of so many families.

If there is anything we can do to safe ourselves from becoming victims is for us to be careful on how much time we spend on gambling since by research any gambler has a tendency of falling into addiction as long as they spend a lot of time gambling. This is the reason I try to pick the days I play games. I have successfully trained myself that I do not visit a casino house more than 2 times in a week. Those suffering from addiction today never envisaged they would become that. Being careful is absolutely very important.

I agree, it's not only about money, but about time also. I'm sure one can get addicted to gambling, when playing from faucets only. That's why it is very important, if you gamble online, to have at least 2 days off, and to never play more than 4 hours, in total, during a single day. I mean, it's better to play less than that, of course, but if you see that you play more, it's a sign for starting to get concerned.
Gambling addiction is very similar with drug addiction, both have psychological effects once an individual becomes stressed out due to massive loss of funds.
I think It's time for the government to take actions in controlling the gambling addiction. Put up a rehab for excessive gamblers (I'm not sure if It already has in existence, specifically in the Philippines).
The worst thing I have done in gambling so far, is to hide my total monthly income to my wife so I could set aside some funds to gamble in sports betting
. Is this a sign of addiction? ? Lol

. Is this a sign of addiction? ? LolBy and large, all addictions come primarily from what type of personality you have. I mean, if you have “addictive” of personality type, then you will be much more likely to be addicted of any kind, whether it is an unhealthy love of sweets or a game addiction, it doesn’t matter. Having this type of personality, in any case, you run the risk of being dependent on something. Unfortunately, this can only be eradicated through work with you, because the roots of this problem are from a deep childhood. The first step is recognition.

I don't think the people that the OP is talking about as examples of gambling addicts at the worst level are after the money. They are already rich if we consider how much money they have already burned in the gambling tables. Imagine you already have millions of USD. Would you still gamble for money if you are already a multi-millionaire? I think the problem here is much worse. They are already not in their sane minds.

That's one of the most craziest thing that I've heard about gambling addiction. I meant it can be so dangerous to even let people kill themselves. Hopefully, I'm not addicted to gambling, I mean a few months ago I was gambling regularly, but I was at the point to get addicted to be honest, but I just controlled myself because it could be even worse later. Addicted people should start to stay away from gambling slowly and trying to quit this field as soon as possible. It's not even a good field to earn money, because it's all about luck.
I have seen worse scenario. Addicted gamblers in my opinion should be seen as mentally unstable patients and their actions can be frightening. Sometime back I heard the story of a man that killed himself, wife and kids because he lost a game and felt terrible,didn’t know how to stand the shame and loss and the best he felt he could do was to eradicate his total family, it’s that Bad.If there is anything we can do to safe ourselves from becoming victims is for us to be careful on how much time we spend on gambling since by research any gambler has a tendency of falling into addiction as long as they spend a lot of time gambling.

I heard recently an interesting thought about alcohol addiction. It was said that from birth one can say about a person whether he is predisposed to alcoholism or not. The whole secret is allegedly how well the body produces an enzyme that raps alcohol https://www.mydr.com.au/gastrointestinal-health/liver-and-alcohol-breakdown. And if this enzyme is produced well, then a person does not appear addicted to an alcoholic.
Perhaps this idea makes sense
Perhaps this idea makes sense
Personally, I don't think it works on this level
And as I'm inclined to think, it has more to do with brain chemistry rather than some enzymes in the liver. Why? The logic is pretty simple. It is not consumption of alcohol itself just like not gambling per se which turns people into alcohol and gambling addicts. It is the urge that they feel after they have not drunk or played for some time that drives them insane and makes they come back for more. Obviously, all this happens in the brain, not in the liver
Well, i didn't consider myself being too addicted when I played gambling games just quite a little because I manage to stop myself before it's too late but I remember when I still playing I often skip in eating in the right time and used most of my earnings from postings and my saved money and my family notice that changes in me and confront me, and thankfully they understand me and guide and help me to get rid of addiction. Gambling is just a habit, but it depends on the person on how will it affect itself for better or for worst.
If it has been addicted to gambling it will be hard to heal his soul, anything he can do to earn money to play gambling, yes suppose by borrowing money to people or doing other worst things as you say, for example by Do theft. Until now I was not addicted to gambling, although occasionally likes to gamble.
The worst thing I have done to feed my gambling habit was probably skip 2 months of my own personal savings and spend it all on booze and gambling in a night, and this happened in Macau. Obviously not my proudest moment nor fondest memory but it opened my eye into something that would help me a lot. I know I wouldn't do such a dumb thing knowing that I still love being free and just getting some things done day by done and my addictions, or should I say "attraction" to gambling isn't that worrisome and I have effectively stopped gambling large amounts of money for years now. Problems such as these are more into the psychological behavior of the person in question and they really need to seek help, else they would do such stupid things mentioned by OP or worse, physically harm someone in order to achieve their goals.
the worst thing I did the most was stealing my mother's money under the bed, after that she felt lost and accused me of taking the money.
without clear evidence he knows I took it, because gambling can make people do the same desperation as drugs if it is not met then it will find a shortcut so that desire is fulfilled, from here I learn if gambling must be stopped by yourself by way of away from places and friends who often gambling.
I do not see any difference between you and the referred person on the post that stole the company’s money because stealing is stealing regardless whom it is stolen from. The only problem I have with addicted gamblers is that they do not consider it as addiction until it gets out of control because to be realistic, I can’t comprehend how a sane man would go as far as stealing just to gamble.without clear evidence he knows I took it, because gambling can make people do the same desperation as drugs if it is not met then it will find a shortcut so that desire is fulfilled, from here I learn if gambling must be stopped by yourself by way of away from places and friends who often gambling.
I don’t know if you still have this habit bro but will advice you seek help as soon as possible if you do bro because gambling addiction can be disastrous and it all begins with little actions of doing everything possible to satisfy the desire which also includes stealing.
I sincerely wish the government of each countries could see gambling as a very terrible and dangerous illness because that’s exactly what it is and anyone seen or suspected to be addicted should be given urgent attention because at the end of the day, the destruction does not only end at the victim but the general public at large. You can imagine what huge debt the company has gone into as a result of one man’s mistake. Really terrible.
