i think those cases you've mentioned are not only because of gambling addiction but mental issue as well,i have read an article about the one who burnt the Casino together with his body alive and there it is cleared that he has a Mental problem.
and the other one though this happen recently,i think the same issue its mental problem ,this is only my opinion but does a normal person can spend that large amount just to gamble?
he must have a mind problem since he carried that once in a billion case,losing 14$ million just for gambling habits
Topic: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! - page 17. (Read 3496 times)
In past maybe when i first know 999dice, and primedice i play both of that sites almost everyday, and worst thing that i do because of addicted to play gambling maybe when i keep play and then always aim to win, i buy strategy for like $5 to an owner of a facebook group i did that maybe at 2015, but still lose. But i already learned that there are no strategy in gambling, no superstition and it is all about luck for now. And don't be addicted.
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]
This case made me remember another news that shocked the country and beyond more than a couple of years ago. This incident involved another gambling addict who tried to burn down the casino inside Resorts World Manila. The man entered the casino fully armed and attempted to steal chips. It went awry and much worse from there, and ended up burning himself alive. The gambling addiction of the perpetrator had reached its worst end after initially causing separation from his family, selling of properties including his home and car, incurring huge debts, and so on. The incident claimed dozens of lives.[2]
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'm not a chronic gambler but I know one when I see one, I have friends who are chronic gamblers and these people cannot stop and will not stop even to the point of lying and stealing if he and his relatives cannot get a professional he will ruin not only himself but also people around them, because they do not respect any kind of logic anymore, just like what all these stories you've posted.
Worst thing that I've done, pawn some items, borrow money from a friend, spend my salary just to continue to gamble. But I couldn't see myself doing this kind of stuff, I guess the guy was really out of control already and his decisions are obviously clouded.
Maybe he thinks that the can still bounce back and return the money without anyone noticing it. However, he was already deep down and as others have said, he was like possessed and telling him to continue his gambling habits. But this is the consequences now, and he has to deal with it.

The dumbest thing I have ever done was to sell some valuable things to stake. I just thought victory would return what I had sold. But it all ended in failure and until finally I realized that my actions were truly stupid. Will not repeat it.

The worst thing I've done, and multiple times actually, was that I was losing 10-12 hours of my precious life daily, playing poker tournaments with $0.10 prize pool. I still continue playing in such tournaments, because I love to play poker, but I never lose more than 2 hours per month on them currently.
Regarding how I fight gambling addiction, I think it's a permanent process. I can get addicted and kill the addiction during the same day. Fortunately, since I play only with small amounts, I never lose so much money to gambling so that it could cause any problems. But no one should ever forget that time is also a very valuable thing in this life. I would say it's the next precious thing after money. So, we shouldn't lose a lot of the time we have on gambling, as well.
Addiction is very harful that's why need to set a limit every time we gamble . And i believe being have a discipline is one of the most important also. Because if you dont have that you will become addicted into it and so on if you don't have money that is the time you will attempt to do a crime. So while its late set a limitation and don't use it as a full time job because it's not certain way to make profits. In fact there's a lot of opportunities out there wherein certain not unlike gambling .

Actually, it depends on ourselves. If you think gambling is a good to do then do it as long as you didn't harm other people. But if you think gambling can change yourself even you will be shunned by other people and you just think gambling is your life as whole then I guess it is not health you must be avoid to play gambling. Or there is another way that you can play gambling and you don't harm other people especially your family and not being an addict to it then you should thinking that gambling just for your entertainment. I mean, gambling can be made as an entertainment as far as I feel. Regarding to your question, I've passed to become an addict a year ago, and I give a judgment that being an addict into gambling is worst.
I know about this news and the past gambler who tried to burn down a casino as I also live in the same country. Because of their addiction they did a crazy thing and many people became affected.

I was once an addicted gambler and comes to a point that I have to seek for professional help to overcome my addiction because even my family cant stop me. The worst that I did for gambling is to spend my whole salary to sustain my addiction. I did it few times before my partner noticed that im often running out of money and seems depress. We take a vacation to stop my addiction and through the help of my family I managed to get rid this feeling of being addicted. Now I still gamble but with self limitation and discipline as im aware of the consequences if you let yourself become addicted.

I played gambling for 4 years, but I'm not addicted to gambling, because at the beginning I didn't spend any money to play gambling, aka I play gambling from free money, like from giveaway or from my gambling friends.
well, because of that I consider gambling as a hobby or just for fun. so I was very lucky not to get addicted.
Am not a gambling addict and never will be since I usually gamble for fun. Whenever I gamble, I try my best to minimize my risk for maximum profit. This is why I usually focus on techniques like:
- Accumulator betting
- Arbing
I heard many of these stories regarding addicts selling of their properties from a long time though the news regarding the guy burning down the casino is not something you hear everyday. It all comes down to individual control at the end of the day.

Just like i said before that gambling addiction will attack your brain and it will affect your behavior because their mentally disturbed and it cannot be healed by common medicine so people who became an addicted gamble will do anything to satisfied their hobbies which is in this case was gamble and that's why people repeatable says control yourself during gamble because it can avoid you to being an addicted

I haven't done anything that stupid that would endanger my life or that of anyone else, talk more of taking their life just because of gambling. There was this time I decided to walk a distance that took me close to one hours to reach my destination just so I could save some cash to gamble on a premier league match which I later lost lol. Initially if I had used the cab as intended, it would had taken me just 10-20minutes to reach my destination.
I have read similar related stories to those highlighted in the OP and if I was to air my views on this matters, I'll consider these individuals to be selfish, foolish and totally unstable. When anything is been misused it becomes dangerous and that's what gambling is turning into this days, you shouldn't let gambling control you, gambling is fun when you're in control and not the other way round.

I would admit that I become an addicted gambler in my life once, but I will never go that far just to fuel my gambling addiction. Damn, $14 million in the last eight years or so? The worst I did way back is to loan almost half a million of PHP (Philippine Peso) and then go on my gambling spree. My favorite casino is Resorts World, in which the OP also posted about the link above, but by that time the incident happened, I already quit my gambling addiction.
That's a huge amount mate, I would not allow myself to loan for that huge amount for gambling purposes, but I'm glad you learn your lesson. Anyways, That guy went overboard and he wasn't check until it's too late.
That's usually the problem of an employee who have problems, they forget to monitor anymore how much they got already because they keep funding their addiction. I wonder what would be the punishment of this guy, I think this will fall under "qualified theft" right?

So far I havent done anything foolish that would make it to the front page or even less. I try to discipline my self when it comes to spending my money on online games or casino. I am the type of person who track how much i already spent using a spreadsheet so that at the end of the day I can look at how much I already spent on something like online casino. Thats my way of reminding myself to stop. 
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.

economic factors can make us desperate, so gambling becomes a shortcut and when the addiction is getting worse. as long I gamble, maybe I was lucky to never get a lot of money from gambling, so I'm not addicted to getting worse and ended up disappointed because of too many losses. so in the end, I could stop gambling.
Very heavy for the fish to be separated from the water.
Most gambling addicts are like possessed by demons, close their eyes to their actions when they lose property and lose in gambling bets.
I am also a gambler, but for all that I can control, when my brain freezes in defeat.
If I read from the source, I can conclude that, that person has a bad factor in gambling betting and justifies any means for betting.
"The problem is very regrettable, the junkie is holding gambling not as entertainment, but as a place to ride his life / try his luck, so that when he loses, his brain is possessed with anger, crime, anarchism, so it is out of control, there is no balance in his life anymore so it is increasingly chaotic, time and money are all dissipated for uncontrolled gambling so as to damage his psyche.
This is someone out of control when addicted to gambling bets,
he forgot everything, this is fatal consequences".

I think gambling addiction should be treated like other forms of addictions, and those affected should get medical care. Also gambling websites as well as casinos should have a bold sign advising people to 'gamble responsibly', similar to what alcohol beverage companies do. Not just as a measure to absolve themselves from blame but to protect those that patronize their services.
Personally, I have never been addicted to gambling.
To be fair no one cares what's written on cigarettes and alcohol beverages, when you want it, you buy it. Can say the same on gambling. No one knows that you can't win against casino? Just tell me, why aren't casinos going bankrupt? Because mathematically they have higher chance of win than you. But still some people think they are lucky enough to beat casino, yeah, there were really some people who just gambled 1-2 times and won huge amount of money but 1 from 10000 is so lucky, not everyone and it doesn't worth to take part in this competition to my mind.Personally, I have never been addicted to gambling.
Just gamble for fun if you can, personally I find live blackjack amazing thing for fun. Can't you get fun and it makes you nervous? Then just stop it.
That's way too out of the line, hope I doesn't go that way. Luckily even though I gamble I haven't dome anything that is a crime that goes beyond human action, killing innocent people and stealing such amount of money. That is truly a work of the devil and nothing less, I bet maybe he is also using drugs when he did the crime or even when gambling as the Philippines is one of the world's drug infested place.
