Topic: Gambling is a fatal mistake - page 2. (Read 1504 times)

Actually, there is no reason whatsoever that makes all of us gamblers say that gambling is dangerous, just like smoking, many people don't realize that it is dangerous if they continue to smoke it all the time, but cigarette lovers continue to smoke it every day, even for years, it all comes back again. for each individual, what makes him dangerous is his decision to gamble because without realizing it he must be prepared for all the risks, that's why never gamble with money that should be used for life's needs, it will be very dangerous.

All responsible gamblers don't say that the gambling they play is dangerous because they can control themselves when gambling and don't go beyond the limit which ends up losing a lot of money, all gamblers must have a gambling budget limit so as not to exceed the limit and waste a lot of money In gambling, the point is to use money that you are ready to lose because gambling is always full of risk and not everyone can win against the dealer, let alone make the dealer lose or go bankrupt. that's absolutely impossible

gambling is not dangerous, but the attitude towards it is. It all depends on the player himself and his attitude towards the game, if he lost his entire salary in one night then only he is to blame since he put his family at risk. This suggests that he already has problems which need to be resolved as quickly as possible because he has an addiction.

Well said, Mate. The funny thing is People are quick to blame situations and careless how they react to situations like gamblers blaming gambling rather than evaluating there own gambling habits (actions, response,  methods). Which leads then to gamble irresponsibly, in as much as we can discipline, Manage and also gamble within our risk tolerance level I do not believe such gambler will be blaming gambling/casinos.
Gambling is Fatal when your actions decide it to be so.

Indeed, everything has its own risks, but this can still be minimized by doing it well, considering everything and doing our best so that nothing untoward happens. However, it is not recommended to consider all of these things, in fact I have a friend who is very careful even with trivial things which according to many people are far from risky, but I think this is excessive, because that way I think it will only make things difficult for himself in the future. , unless he can see what he is going to do first, if the risks are clear then it is better not to do it and it is better to avoid it because prevention is better than cure. So it all depends on each of our own perceptions, if we can consider everything well then there won't be any problems with what we do, and even then we have to look at what we are doing first, if what we are doing is clearly risky. then it is impossible to avoid.

Gambling is not a fatal mistake as long as we can balance everything well, such as our actions, thoughts, budget and time. Indeed, there are only a few people who, in my opinion, can gamble well and wisely so that the situation is not too bad for them. Behind that, of course, there are many people who gamble wrongly and become addicted to gambling. Well, this addiction is what I think is the point of fatal error. because when they become addicted to gambling they will not be able to get out easily, they will usually continue to gamble even though their finances and circumstances are no longer normal.

Gambling usually makes people highly addicted, just like a cancer patient. A cancer patient can never be attacked suddenly, the blood is gradually affected and the cells of the body are destroyed. Then suddenly the sick person becomes dull, just as a gambler slowly becomes addicted to gambling by participating in gambling.  And this addicted person becomes so addicted when he participates in gambling that he doesn't focus on anything else, his only goal is gambling, and only if he aims to get money, he is bound to lose, because the sign of winning is sometimes possible to win in gambling.  no

Yes, the reality is that everything in life has the potential of good and evil.

You can even die from drinking too much water.

The key is balance. You need to be able to know when something is too much, or too little, and adjust accordingly.

It's more of an art than science, because you are the only person that knows how you feel inside.

Driving is a fatal mistake, there are many risks on the street, you could clash and die, instead use your foot.

Walking is a fatal mistake, someone might throw you acid on your face and it could make you blind, so avoid going outside.

Avoiding going outside is a fatal mistake, you will not able to become rich because you will lost many opportunities.

If you always see something in bad, anything you see is the bad thing instead of trying to minimize the risk of bad thing may occur and maximize the good thing.

Actually if they say that gambling is fatal they could be right because when we talk about fatal is something that could be very devastating and we all know that gambling could be devastating at times because if you have actually been with people who gambles and loss there bet you will no how devastating it could be for them but however when they say gambling is a fatal mistake it actually look somehow because just like you said even if the gambling is not working on our favour doesn't mean that it does not work for others and because so many people has benefited a lot from gambling but the thing is that is not good to channel all there hope of survival on gambling because that's were it could be very bad.

This is a typical story for all avid gamers. They lose full responsibility for their loved ones. I would call this human degradation. But the scary thing is that even after winning, these people do not stop and sometimes lose again. The addiction is huge, and treatment is as expensive as the money spent on games. What should the spouse the OP wrote about do? I would not waste time on such a person, get a divorce, and raise children away from such a father until he infected young hearts with his example.

Gambling is usually a serious risk, this person has worked for a whole month and with the whole month's salary he has gambled away in one night. Full money has been given by the location, I can see the loss from all sides, loss of family and loss of myself. So Beware of Gambling Every person should stay away from gambling. 
But this man has done the wrong thing by firstly gambling and losing money, and secondly by being busy trying to recover the money that has left him totally in debt. Such sudden action is a sign of addiction because when a gambler becomes addicted, he will face huge losses.

most of the time the reasons that lead people to gamble is because they feel sad about something in life, they get depressed, that's why when they encounter gambling, alcohol, drugs and consume, then they start to see that at that moment when they are playing in a casino, at that moment when they are in a club consuming alcohol and drugs and sleeping with many women, they forget about the problems they have, they forget about everything that is happening in the world, they think that at that moment, they are happy, and they become dependent because whenever they have money they will look for gambling, sex, drugs and alcohol to have that moment when they forget everything and in their minds they will be happy. this becomes addiction. What your relative is facing is called gambling addiction and he should seek medical help because he is sick

OP, first of all I want to say that gambling is a fatal mistake it is absolutely not right. Because many people depend on gambling for their livelihood. I think the person you mentioned here is quite new to gambling. So what I want to say to new gamblers is that budgeting your entire salary for gambling is absolutely not the right thing to do. Because the odds of losing are heavier than winning in gambling. In order to gain something good from gambling, it is of course very important for new gamblers to know gambling strategies. But yes gambling is never liked by the people of Samas and society but still the importance of gambling is increasing day by day.

The way you posted nicely presented that if a gambler gambles depending on his income and the money left over after he takes care of all the needs of his family, gambling with money can make money, of course that's a good thing. But not everyone can gamble responsibly like this, if everyone could play like this, maybe there would be no turmoil in the family due to gambling addiction. There are many gamblers who gamble for fun at first. But the funny boy becomes so addicted to gambling that one time he cannot get out of the gambling addiction from the condition he wants. Due to gambling, various types of turmoil are created in their family. There are thousands of families who cannot manage their family properly just because of gambling addiction. So gambling is definitely good for those who can use it properly. One who responsibly fulfills his family responsibilities then gambles properly. And good for them as they earn some cash from gambling. But thousands of families suffer turmoil due to gambling addiction so everyone should refrain from gambling addiction.

I think that this is what happens when someone starts to gamble in an irresponsible way and loses complete control over his gambling habits. Sometimes greediness might drag you down to stupid mistakes in gambling, chasing losses also does that.

 I Wonder what pushed this brother to go all in with his salary, maybe his guts told him that this time it is going to be a big win, things like that happen Sometimes.
However I think that no matter how sure you are of the bet you have placed, as a man of a family and a father you should always reconsider your spendings and manage your money, putting your whole monthly salary is a very risky thing and this story showed how bad it could go for such risks.

But I still think that the blame here shouldn't be put on Gambling and saying that it is a fatal mistake because here the person is a mature adult who is aware of his actions.

When you gamble in a responsible way with money you can afford losing and when you consider gambling as a fun entertaining activity things might sound less dangerous and different.

Even though I personally believe the adjective "fatal" or "lethal" can be a kind of out of context here (because gambling by itself does not kill anyone). I kind of agree that those stories like the told by OP are more common than we all assume. We do not know about all the cases because in most of cases the gamblers hide their addiction from their family members.
Because of the extreme situations people can go through because of money, I do not cast any doubt of the horrible thingsand experiences people share here in the forum. It has been proven already: people can steal, scam and even kidnapp for the sake of gambling addiction. Thus we all need to be careful and never reach those low points in life... 

With the story of what OP told, it can be true. But even there's no thread like this, I've seen this often in many communities where an irresponsible gambler takes all and all-in his bet.

It's hard to believe that there are people that can do this to their families? A sad truth but it's actually indeed a reality and many have fell for their own addiction.

And after falling, they're having hard time to recover and with such situations, families like the example in OP are destroyed.

Gambling on 10% of our income is quite a reasonable amount to wager in a month. Then whatever is gotten in the process via wins, can be added to the bank roll. Thereby yielding safety on the remaining amount from his salary. It's sad that most players spend out all their salary in a sitting. As you said, it's a sign of irresponsible gambling. And the rest of the month would require a debt to run the gambler's family. Which he'd also try to take out some amounts from the borrowed money to wager again. I think as gamblers being able to control how we handle our income on gambling is crucial. The embarrassment this causes to the player's family is very painful. Not everyone would be able to withstand the trouble of staying another month without any money.

Everyone likes to gamble. Exciting things, thrills, and big wins are all very appealing. People who build companies are the best gamblers because they know when to hold and when to fold. Self-control, discipline, and knowing your boundaries are all important. I was there. I saw everything. The big wins dont risk everything on one hand, thats for sure. These people plan ahead, make smart choices, and know when to leave. Its not luck, its skill.

Take a deep breath if you're feeling hot. Got up from the table. Plan, targets, and goals should be rethought. Sometimes, even the smartest people need help. Smart, but not perfect. A smart player will quit when they're ahead.

Gambling shouldn't be something that we should do it with the mind set that we must win, like you said it's not a do or die affair, I have even observed that people who try too hard to want to win at all means end up loosing but people who just gamble effortless and allow the game take it causes end up winning because they don't make a deal off it so they only get to make sure they are able to just have as much fun as they can gambling and not just for the sake of gambling alone but for fun. People actually make a living off gambling and with such person you see gambling differently, they don't just gamble in the regular way and form with which others gamble, because they hope to make a living off it, they make sure to be as careful as they can to reduce their losses and increase their wins but people do see it like you just only get lucky before you will be able to get the most off gambling. If you are gambling in. Along while and getting nothing off it, it's best you too gambling or change your strategy but it's better to take a break and stop in a long while before getting back to it.

Could this be true,that gambling is fatal? It can be true,but I don't totally believe it because people are eating and surviving with it.People are gambling daily,and it's fending for them and their families,so if it isn't working for you,you can't just totally conclude that.

It becomes an accident when we continue gambling and it doesn't yield good result to us.If there is no positive results to what you are doing and aiming at,there is need that you will stop it because there is nothing to show for it.But when you are winning,it will be your joy to continue gambling.
