Gambling and being out of control is a very bad thing. Many things can happen if someone has reached the stage of intense addiction, family relationships that are not harmonious, mental health, social and other disorders.
I am not sure that someone who is lucky in gambling will be happy to let go of his love for gambling, because in my opinion gambling gives us great hope of winning even though we cannot achieve it at all.

Yep, gambling is never good, it destroys finances, lives, families and own sanity.

It can destroy everything you had thats the consequences if you let yourself become addicted. But why it is hard to refrain ourselves to gamble even we often lose? We know how hard to win in gambling and the chances to win is not quite but there are still people trying their luck to double their money or hit the jackpot (like in lottery) to become rich. The worst that I did for gambling is to spend the money that is meant for our daily expenses its my salary, but I chose gambling than to think what might be the outcome of my action.

This is the actual outcome if people do get addicted and cannot control themself from taking break from gambling and end up losing lot of money, relationship is spoilt, it effects the health etc . So it is important to have a self discipline in life .

that is sooo huge.
They keep saying it but they won't listen, gambling is not for everyone, because many gamblers can't handle it addiction.
The only part where gambling addiction almost got me was when I used the money for an important stuff to gamble and I was prone to gambling everyday. I worked hard to recover the money but I can't be foolish enough to use millions for it. I'm glad I am free now.

Great. At least you don't have to do the same thing in the future because you already got an important lesson before. That will help you to understand that most people cannot rely on themselves in gambling because they can lose control in the middle of gambling.

Gambling addiction is worse, but still, many people playing gambling in their free time or every day. Perhaps, if they can have a strong control inside of themselves, they will not worry about becoming addicting. They can prevent the addiction even if the situations become worst, so they will decide to leave the gambling places without taking a look back.

I was reading the news this morning and one of the headlines was about a terrible stealing incident involving an alleged gambling addict. The man is an employee of R&L Investments, one of the Philippines' oldest stock brokerage firms. He was able to orchestrate a way to suck at least ₱700-million worth of stocks from the company to support his gambling addiction. This is around 14 million USD, huge enough for the company to decide its closure after 5 decades of operation.^[1]

I have seen this news on the social media already days ago but what I didn't expect that it is because he became an gambling addict and it forced the company into its closure. What a huge loss for the investors who used that broker and many are hoping that it will not happen to other online brokers in the future.

I want to ask my fellow gamblers here, what is the worst thing you have done for your gambling hobby or habit? Have you come to the point of getting addicted to it and how did you counter it?

I think it is around last year when I almost gambled everyday in an NBA game. I'm gambling a small amount only everyday but it took me around one month of non stop gambling and as usual, I end up losing my money. I countered it by just playing online games to be honest since I always play and that is how I countered it. Now I don't gamble too much, around 1-2 times every 2-3 weeks only.

These act you mentioned are the worst I have ever seen because it is really silly and I think those kind of people needs to be rehabilitated because there is something else that has taken over them. Why am I gambling, isn't it to make money and if I have the opportunity to steal $14 million, why on earth would I still continue with gambling, I think those ones are being ruled by marine spirit or any demonic spirit.

I love gambling, most especially for game, but the moment that I saw that it was beginning to affect my children’s education and I find it hard helping them out on their assignment, I had to stop gambling immediately because family comes for me and anything that will take that away will be dealt with completely.

After grabbing fourteen million dollars, playing gambling with the intention of getting money does not make any sense at all. But neither stealing that much big amount is easy task nor making income from gambling is possible. If someone claims to done any of these, I will not believe him. You made my day by saying that family comes first. All the gamblers should get some lesson from you and reset their priorities.

Everyone try to get the best out of gambling. This is not to make themselves happy, most of the gamblers always look for the sophistication of their family. Myself is a failed experiment of the same, because if I've made my living with what I had now I could've been living very happily. To give more sophistication to my family I tried and failed losing what I had in my wallet.

That's a very sad of you right now, you must be feeling a little awkward upon facing with your wife when come home after you lost those money in gambling without telling it to her. I know we all have been doing some bad deeds in our lives once in a while but it is important that we should learn from those mistakes and never do it again.

If self realizations could really be put up on ones mind and heart then committing the same mistakes wont really be that on high chances yet people or a certain
gambler would already be keen on his next move to make since he know on what are the possible things that would happen ahead.Living in a life which does have full or secrets
and anxiety since you know that you're hiding something to someone wont really give out a very peaceful life since you've been bothered every now and then.
If you dont like on having that kind of depression or worries then better to completely stop on everything.

Yeah, that is really weird. A person stealing money and the company does not even realize it. Like I mean all those annual auditing, journal and trial balance and they didn't see any anomaly? Looks like someone has been performing a shit job.
Just one time incident does mean you "almost" became an addict. You aren't "foolish" enough now, but trust me, when you become an addict you won't even realize what you are doing or using to gamble.

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

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

Maybe what he was trying to say is that if it is in your blood (family) that loves to drink alcohol, then you're also going to be immune to alcoholics drinks, you would never get drunk, and in gambling, you are playing gambling but you have the resistance to gambling addiction

Well, I doubt that you can't get drunk if you drink enough

But I agree that some people can drink regularly and sometimes quite heavily (e.g. when external circumstances require it) but without developing an addiction at all. As I have written earlier, it is all in our mental or psychological makeup and character. Some people are more prone to become an addict of something, some less, and that definitely has everything to do with our brains, whether it is familial and hereditary (i.e. occurring in the members of a family) or entirely individual and thus not tied to one's ancestry

Quote from: doomistake on November 15, 2019, 01:52:41 PM

But yes, I agree to you that it is all happening to the brain, since it is the one who controls our entire nervous system who commands every parts of our body what to do, and gambling addiction is also included

The interesting part is what should be done to prevent people from developing an addiction for something when they are already internally predisposed to it, i.e. how to make them immune to it

Quote from: Coyster on November 11, 2019, 05:32:35 PM

I can understand what gambling addiction is and understand what those who go through it can do, so I never doubt stories such as this told by the OP, I gamble, but I'm still in control of myself when gambling.

I understand gambling addiction because I have a friend in my area who is a gambling addict, he use to good savings before,but the moment he got addicted to gambling, he is always out of money, he goes as far as selling his phone and stealing from his parents, the money he takes to a bet house to play virtual soccer bet and other form of bets. At this point he is always losing more than he gains, could greed be the cause of gambling addiction?

There is no doubt that greed is the main cause of gambling addiction. The question is, how to fight it? I personally don't think that there's something wrong with the people who want to have more money than they have currently. People work hard pursuing this goal, and many of them succeed. But those who are greedy will never stop, even after having more than enough already. I bet that guy from the OP, Marlo Moron, had a pretty good salary, enough for living a happy life. And yet, he thought it wasn't enough for him. Many people have suffered because of his selfish actions, but he was hardly thinking of others. And that's a perfect example of what greed can do to a person.

Greed is always present on each person the only difference is that each one of us do have different level on how to handle out our greed.

If you cant control it then there would be an equal consequences on it.Be contended on what we have in terms of financial aspect. Dont ask for more
and dont ask for easy money because if you do push it too hard and leading you to gamble and believing on making easy money with it which is really
a very common mistake of most people.

There is no denial in that. Humans are greedy by nature and if someone denies this, then he is not human. Controlling the temptation and money love is not like not having them at the first place.
There existence within us is the whole reason why we are taught patience and self control. Losing one’s sense can bring big harms in games like gambling where money is at stake. The best is to play only for fun.

It is important to know our limitations and don't get tempted to what people say's high gains in gambling.

I doubt majority of the stories posted here are just stories and not real life things. The person's life would be pretty messed up if that was the case. Not being able to feed their family would mean immediate scolding from the spouse and that is indeed a embarrassing situation for any human.

One should not let their addiction get the better side of them. There are people who gamble and handle their savings carefully. Being responsible is not possible for many who are recklessly trying to chase losses and make up their losses but moral values should be kept in mind.

Of course Gambling can be really a form of addiction because we all know that this is a vices in which we are playing or gamble our money in order for it to grow huge, but what if you've been done the most scariest thing in your life for you to just supply your needs in order to gamble money? Just for example stealing, cheating other people and etc. I hope before we get there we must change our life in order for us to not experience those kind of bad habits. We can gamble sometimes for fun, but doing such bad things in order to gamble, then it is bad.

Everyone has got some point that makes them get into addiction. Some succeed out of the addiction profiting big while majority of the gamblers loss big out of the same. Using the funds for living on gambling is a worst decision, somehow you've known it at the right time and overcame it. Gambling is all about an entertainment and when taken this as a source for earning loss will be much experienced than winning.

I don’t want to accept everyone gets into a point of addiction in gambling. I have always seen gambling addition stories unbelievable because it is weird to me. There is timing for everything, I feel it is easy to stop. The people who get addicted to gambling are those who are extremely greedy. Everyone has an iota of greed when gambling when it is taken to the extreme then it’s definitely going to result in crisis.

The story shared by the OP is still very unimaginable to me and I must confess that I am amazed on how far addicted gamblers can go to satisfy their unhealthy urge. Well, I hope a lot of addicted and yet to be addicted gamblers would learn from this and this would definitely make a lot of people seek help as soon as possible.

I think the worst case that I have done for gambling is betting my last money on a game,
And I end up losing the match so in the end I didn't have enough money to have a decent dinner for my family.
But it was the last time that I made anything stupid for gambling.

I see my neighbor doing this. So disgusted to think about it but that's their life and they choose to be like that.
I appreciate gambling but not to the point that it drags me to the hell and do stupid things and sacrificing the needs of my family just to fulfill my pleasure playing in casinos. It is important to know our limitations and don't get tempted to what people say's high gains in gambling.

I've also experienced this once, it can't be help and hard to resist once we won even if it is just a couple of times, that gives us courage every time and we are always in control by the house because of that bait, in the end, we are all crybabies or a mad grandma, ranting about the money she lost because of herself.

And the other thing is, gambling is never a decent way to give your family a decent dinner.
