The title is seriously dumb as hell frankly speaking. Who isn't aware of the fact that gambling is a choice? Everything is literally a choice in life. Op should have renamed the title to something more interesting.
Also, the incident that he mentioned isn't something new. Such stuff always happens here and there in the gambling world which is why gamblers should always invest only what they are willing to lose.
However, the majority don't follow this rule and end up regretting it later on.

The thing is.... it should not come down to the point where you are looking for reasons to blame someone else for your losses. You should gamble for fun and enjoy it, if it is not fun anymore... then you should stop.
Casinos have to make money to keep the doors open for you to gamble and they use the house edge to do that... people should just accept that and play games with a more favorable RTP... if they want to play for a longer period.

According to the theory of probability, if he goes over the stop limit quite a bit, then he will immediately win back. And this thought usually haunts the gambler. And he decides to go beyond the stop limit, and after that, if he is not lucky again, he thinks that he will calmly stop playing. But it often turns out that he is “unlucky again”, but the thought in his head still persuades him to continue and try again.
And then everything goes like an avalanche.
And of course, it is important to still force yourself to come to terms with the loss and stop playing on time, when the process has not yet gone according to a catastrophic scenario. This can end up in a lot of trouble for a lot of people. And so it happens.
And quite often. Especially with not very experienced players.
- This often happens to gamblers who lack self-control and self-discipline. But if they can do that duality, for sure when they reach the limits they will stop and not try to play anymore.
That's why the mindset of a responsible gambler should be that when the money is used up and go home, don't stay at the online casino any longer and just come back in the next few days. Maybe when they come back they will be lucky. That's how it should be anyway.
Gambling is a very old and traditional form of entertainment. However, many people lose control of their lives while gambling and their entire lives are filled with problems because of this behavior. Many people can't quit gambling despite making money and many obstacles. Many people try to stay away from gambling addiction but in the end it becomes difficult to stay away from gambling, it becomes more like an addiction and puts life at risk. Therefore, before entering the casino, enter with the mentality of losing and winning. Both sides have to take risks in winning or losing this game.
Gambling does more harm than good in people's lives yet people get addicted to gambling for an invisible addiction. Gamblers in my country usually gamble in the traditional way, in this case gamblers are usually addicted to gambling with cards or dice. But most of the poor family members become more addicted to gambling and eventually cause serious problems in their families. Gamblers in my country usually abuse their wives to collect their gambling money which leads to divorce in most gambling families.

You're just like saying if gambling is bad because you're generalizing gambling is make most people become addicts and that will ruin their life.

Nowadays there are many games which related to gambling, but people said it's not, it's called gacha.

In fact the players have various motivations to do it some do it for fun to pass the time, others to earn extra income some are professional players but it must be a free personal choice
Even if they do it for fun, that doesn't mean they can use their money to gamble. They have to pay attention that there is a big risk of losing at gambling and if they can't control themselves, they can lose a lot of money, which has been proven by the many people who lose at gambling. If you still want to play gambling, you need good control not to lose much money. Playing gambling is a choice; no one forces you to play and let other people play.An experienced gamblers will common eye the little things we out in consideration while gambling and concentrate on his bet he's playing, that alone takes their time enough and they are much satisfied in such, it's not every gambler that always focus on the amount he loose from the one invested and the games he won, thinking about that alone will be a big discouragement for some people and that's why they don't rely on what they get through gambling for their sustainability, they always have their own means of income they are fine with.
My thoughts, is this how we often feel when we lose out on a bet??
Do you wish the site can refund your money??
I wish I can take back the money but we don't have a time machine yet so that won't happen. All we can do is swallow the truth that we made a mistake and just get over it. Sleep it through if you must just so you will stop thinking about it. The next day, start fresh, don't even think about what you lost, and try to chase them back by betting larger amounts. A reset should be back to your normal betting amount. I do feel sad when I lose a bet but the regrets should not stay because your focus will be gone. Do you wish the site can refund your money??
Gambling should be your choice, you shouldn't let anyone compel or persuade you into it.
It is true. Advertisements, streamers, and forums like this, are just pointing you out to reputable gambling sites but no one said you must go in and gamble your way. Responsible gambling should not be forgotten because it will be key to avoiding addiction too. 
The thing is.... it should not come down to the point where you are looking for reasons to blame someone else for your losses. You should gamble for fun and enjoy it, if it is not fun anymore... then you should stop.

OP's case is a bit different from normal gambling as it's obviously a scam. So, this is a comparison between choosing to gamble and choosing to get scammed.
When you go to a casino or an online gambling site, most of them are regulated and relatively fair, as long as you can accept that your odds are lower than they appear because of the house edge.
Street gambling is usually scam meant to steal your money and these people will lure you in promising free rolls and stuff and then they'll steal from you saying there was no free roll, you were supposed to play for money from the beginning.
Street gambling is very dangerous as we all know that there's no rebate and bonuses I'm street gambling, some of a street gambling is a scamm one and the best example of that are table game. Like my country once you play in table game then you will loss a lot because of their games. When you first saw in the table then the owner of the table want to blow your mind and they will give you a chance to win but in the long run if you can't control your self you will loss.

The inevitable is the reasons why you are asked to gamble responsibly and gamble with what you can afford to lose so that you do not get into any emotional trauma while gambling as the case maybe...
At the long run, no is actually compelled to gamble but just like the serpent and eve in the Bible, what this casinos will only do is to present you the enticing things the winnings from their games could bring and leaving you with thr choice to decide which of not very conscious, one might easily just get drown in gambling and that's why I still stand on the ground that gambling is a matter of choice.
One thing that affects gamblers is greed and also trying to break some of their past records and I don't see any need for all of that.
Putting yourself to challenge with yourself just to have a say tale.to tell friends which is absolutely wrong.

Like in the story, this is something I've seen happen as well, and to be sincere, the victims most times act like they were hypnotized or something.Do you wish the site can refund your money??
Gambling should be your choice, you shouldn't let anyone compel or persuade you into it.
But in all, the fact is that, the type of gambling in the story is not a fair gambling but a scam strategy which Is disguised as gambling , so I don't blame the victims when they act the way they act because they've been obviously scammed, I just wish that people will learn and stop allowing themselves to be victims to such scams.
Their techniques are so clean and practiced that you won't understand what just happened and they leave no room for you to think even for a moment that they are scammers until you get out of that zone and then you start thinking about everything that just happened.

It is very important for us to make use of our head to avoid future loses. People that are big losers in gambling are losing because they don't keep attention to how they make beta which can be very risky for there healthy. When we keep losing as a gambler, we do felt the pains but atimes we might decide to keep betting maybe we can recover our funds.
Gambling is a choice and when we make those choices and lose, we should accept the results and try to do better next time but the Op story is different. They didn't give the victim a fair chance to make the choice of gambling, she was forced to keep playing.
Most local games uses alternative powers like black magic to keep their victims playing, since it looks like that was what was used in this situation, the girl isn't at fault. Assuming she kept on gambling in her right senses then she won't have called for alarm when she lost.
It was because she realized herself and couldn't find her belongings with her is why she started to cry. We should avoid those street bets and visit a physical casino or virtually visit one on your mobile phone and play your bet carefully without been manipulated.
It would be disastrous to go for what one can't accommodate but rather passes blame and aggression. I've seen some cases like this, nevertheless, one thing is certain, as long as no one forces you to gamble, you must take full responsibility for either good or bad outcomes.

For sure, everything is a choice whether it is gambling or whatever. No one is forcing you to jump into gambling and risk your money. Everyone plays gamble with their own choice and the win and lose in gambling is only for the gambler. No one will share your profit or compensate your losses in gambling.
You're basically alone in gambling and it is up to you how you spend money in gambling and how much you can afford to lose. No one knows your personal financial conditions.

People you describe are hustlers and grifters. This is not about gambling.
That's what I thought, although it does have to do with gambling. It is a scam that is done through gambling. Like many scams, it is based on the greed of the person being conned and they are allowed to win at the beginning or they are made to see that it is easy, as in the "shell game", as bitbollo points out.
the game is rigged.
even if you win they just run away with the money or worse they might beat you up.
it really doesn't make sense to participate in such an activity, it's a bit like turning to a ponzi scheme hoping to become rich.

Ponzi schemes, like these scams, also rely on the greed of the conned, giving them an impossible return.
