They have psychological issues not behavior ones that prison will serve them for the right purpose. Prison will rather as you mentioned escalate the addiction. They need to be in some rehabilitation center where their addiction is analyzed and they are given treatments along with therapies that could help them in overcoming the bad thoughts they have. They are not criminals rather they shall be treated as mental patients.
Indeed, they are having some psychological problems, and needed to be asess by professionals , gambling is good for fun, and for creating money, but in moderation because if not, it will only lead to a bigger problem that can affect not only themselves, but also to those people who are in their environment. Addiction is too hard to stop, especially if it is too long before that person is aware that he is an addict. Family and friends should help him and distract him with other things.

Taking any kind of risk could be described as gambling, I guess.
Every gambling player I think is aware of what risks they will get. The biggest risk in gambling is defeat, the greater the loss, the greater the cause they become financially worse. Many people are too optimistic to take advantage when playing gambling, but they will forget that the biggest gambling secret is defeat. Play well, but we also have to be good at managing finances, because losing & winning is a must in gambling.Taking any kind of risk could be described as gambling, I guess.
Yes, they are aware of the risk, but after they play another round, they forget to that risk, and they spend too much money without thinking about the chance to get lost. The big risk in gambling is hard to defeat, but we can prevent another loss if we don't stop. So before you lose more money, it is better you can stop yourself from playing gambling, and you will have a chance to save your money.
From the very start they are already aware of the risk but they are not afraid of taking risk that is why they are gamblers.
When they gamble more and more and they keep losing most of the time, that' gives a challenge to them and they don't give up, that makes them addicted because they are up to the challenge and failed to use their mind and let their emotion take control on them.
Exactly. And when emotion is left to dominate within a person for a long time, he will go crazy. His sense of reason will die and he will commit unimaginable atrocities just like what the OP has mentioned in this post. Those people are dead crazy already. There is no single reason within them probably. A reasonable person cannot commit those crimes.

I wonder what specifically the person gamble on? The article did not mention it unfortunately. I guess he gambled on stock hoping to make quick profits and return back what he took. Both Op post and the article sound like he took the huge sums of money and spent it in a casino or something. Taking any kind of risk could be described as gambling, I guess.
My wild guess is that the person gamble on a casino in the Philippines. Three big casino's are within Manila and I'm sure he played on three of them.
The gambler took money throughout the years and no one new about it because he is clearly manipulating the books and it's already too late with them found out thru audit.
It was actually a casino, according to his confession. Found that on another site:
https://business.inquirer.net/282716/50-year-old-ph-stock-brokerage-shuts-down
Quote
Mor*n claimed to have acted alone, and said he was forced to steal in larger amounts over time because of a growing casino habit (“Nalulong din po sa casino”). The R&L employee also executed a promissory note endeavoring to return all that he had stolen, while maintaining that there were no cash or securities left for him to return.
Well, I am surprised someone in his position would do such thing. He started siphoning things gradually since 2011. It definitely sounds like addiction.

It hurts when we read this type of things as that person would be now busted and would not have anything left or would have lost huge amount of money. He forgot the basic rules itself that never bet or borrow money from others for such stuff and he did exactly the same thing. Also going big on such things can lead to heavy losses unless you can afford such loss never do such kind of things.

Well yes not knowing the result of your actions are sort of gambling too because you take a risk. I consider investing as gambling as well for the reason there's no assurance if you will earn though its an edge if you have knowledge about it.If we gamble its a must to know the possible consequences after playing because most of the time gamblers are losing more than winning. Its hard to lose but if you're already prepared for the risk of losing then you wont think of chasing your money back.

I have not done anything of this level and I don’t think I will ever do such things.These things are made by ill people who have the addiction as their illness.They will do anything to achieve their goals just like a drug addict would.I think that some years in jail would be the right punishment for such persons and also there to be treated for their illness.
I don't think prison can actually help them to reduce the addictions and it will just create it more intensely in them and when they will be out in freedom, they might bet more furiously to make up for the potential wins they imagined they would have made had they not gone in prison.
It shall never be played with intentions of making money because easily earn money goes easily.
That's not the main problem, the problem is how can you make easy money in gambling, and the problem with us is that we assume gambling gives easy money where in fact we are the ones who are giving them easy money, its quite the opposite TBH.
We cannot make easy money in gambling, and even we can get addicted to gambling. We should know the risk so we can think not to use gambling to search for easy money because we never found that. If you think that gambling can give you easy money and you still playing gambling, you can see that in the end, you will be addicted to gambling. And once you addicted to gambling, you will realize that it is the worst thing that you should find a way to solve the problem.
sometimes losing their money and at worst losing their family and friends because gambling can change our attitude and behavior,from a good person to a shit one.so yeah never look for gambling as money machine instead look at this as robber that can take your money at any time.

I agree, but somehow, putting them in jail while they are being rehabilitate is also a good thing for them to know their limits. They need help but also they need to be discipline in the right way and in the most humane ways, instead of torturing them alone by sending them in jail with their respective punishment, it will just makes things worst that could result in more addiction and rebellion phase of a person.
For them, everywhere is a prison if they can't freely do whatever they wanted to do, but it is the best for them so I would also suggest sending them in mental hospital instead of being imprison in years without any help of medication and therapy.

No contact in gambling would help, to be in prison is a big suffering of anyone who commit a big offense and maybe that would help for him to realize that he have done a big mistake due to gambling addiction. However, being in prison is different compared to being in a rehab that the purpose is to help people with gambling addiction to get out from it, in prison, you just serve in years and it depends on a person if he will change or not.

During the first stages of addiction friends and family can play an active role in the de-addiction process but the person needs to use their own willpower and determination too. However in later stages rehab becomes necessary.
Therefore it's really necessary that as a gambler we should let our family aware of what we are doing as in the end if we face some problem, they are the first that we can call and willing to help us without any condition.
gambling addiction could become worst like what OP put as an example, but we should avoid that, we are gambling to enjoy, win some money and not to ruin our financials just because of our stupid action which is gambling without discipline.
