Topic: Have anyone tried to stop gamblers from losing while they keep on wagering. - page 4. (Read 2573 times)

I think it may, but depends on who they are. If you are doing this to someone you know and love, you would definitely intervene and try to stop it because it would be the right thing to do, but if you do not know that person and try to stop them it would basically mean that you are calling for a problem on yourself. That is why I think it is going to be a bit of a challenge and it is going to be a bit of a tough decision and that is going to take courage as well to do it but you should do it anyway.

It is sad to see someone keep gambling and keep losing and keep being unhappy, but if you could stop them that would mean that you would actually end up with a good result because you would save someone's life with it. I know it is not going to be easy, but even a few sentence help for them would mean a lot compared to not getting in between their problems.

Won't interfering with someone even if they are losing so much a bit rude and could cause altercations or commotion? I mean I know that it sounds like you are helping them but sometimes there are things that aren't worth intervening especially if you don't know that person or you are not an authority. If it isn't rude to do that then a lot of people should have done it a long time ago.

Yeah, they won't easily accept the suggestion instead to continue playing gambling. I wish they can understand that we really care about them and we do not want to see them lose more money. I still suggest them and explain not trying to recover the losses because we do not know if they can even recover the losses.

That will be their responsibility to listen to our suggestion or not because no matter what, we can not force them to quit gambling unless they can see by themselves that playing gambling will make them lose more money.

But mostly, they won't. While putting yourself in their shoe, you're likely to feel what they're feeling that there's a need to recover and that will make them do whatever it takes just to recover.

As long as you do your part of reminding it, that's already the point and zone of telling them what they must do if it's not working anymore.

Yeah that was what I had just said in my post and yes it is guaranteed to create a commotion because most people that are losing in gambling are irritable so they are going to react violently towards someone. Also it is the job of the house to kick out players that are continuously losing and at the same time becomes an obnoxious person.

Worst thing is if you will be in trouble because you are not minding your own business, such attitude is not an attitude of a gambler but more on a preacher or something and it's just that the place and the timing is wrong. When someone is losing, just let him lose as eventually he will realize his mistakes.

Gambling is fun and this is only for smart and responsible people, however, we can't prevent those people who lack of control from gambling as they have their money, so they follow their rules.

It will create commotions if you'll going to intervene with a total stranger.

You should mind your own business and let alone the person do whatever he wanted to do with his money.  Whatever happens
it's the owners choice and you don't have any business it won't hurt your pocket if he lose it all or if he bounce back and win
it won't add to your bankroll.

couple of times i tried , My cousin is an addicted gamblers so whenever He comes to casino my Aunt(hIs Mother) Keeps asking me a favor to Go with Him as he may spend all the funds on his hands in gambling.
so when time comes that he is in more losing , i tried to calm him and ask if we can go home for a while and return tomorrow in which he follows me as a respect for elder cousin.

Do you think that Gamblers will just listen to what you say? specially when they are in deep betting?

Lol they will just Ignore you or maybe will shout on you because why interrupting their game , Find Life and don't hinder me ,that is what we will receive in traying to  stop a gambler from playing ..

Especially if you too are losing money, your altruistic nature seems to wane but I mean trying to intervene when someone keeps losing in gambling is kind of rude because you are not minding your own business. I don't think that stopping some stranger from losing money is going to be good for anyone, maybe to someone that you know but a complete stranger or just an acquaintance at the place is a different story.

We can tell them how hard to recover their losses in gambling games, so we already give suggestions to them not to try to recover. If they are wise to see the situations, they will listen to our suggestion and force themselves to recover.

No, we do not have to drag them out from the gambling because that can trigger a fight between us. But we can tell them, and the rest will be up to them.

I experience it too while I was gambling someone told me that I would just lose my money base on their experience so I should stop,
But I also ignored their warning because I think that we aren't same I could win and show it to them.

It not almost every gambler experience this kind of issue because gambling is just like crypto trading where the market is volatile and every investment decision does not guarantee profit until a successful trade is done.
Gamblers that chase after loses or have guilt feelings because he loose the game definitely lack a proper understanding of gambling.
Having said that, gambling is not for people who is not mature to understand gambling is a game of chance

This is a cruel lesson, but those who have gone through it and made the right conclusions should be happy. A much more difficult case when a player acts in this way returns his money and even makes a profit - as a result, in the future he thinks that he can repeat it and plays until the very end/crash.

Almost every gambler could've experienced this. From that point some might've quit gambling, but with majority of the gamblers who had lost their earnings look for an opportunity to add more money and recover back the loss. This is what makes the gamblers to stay long into gambling, even when they realise that gambling is meant to make money.

They want to recover their losses but the other and opposite it becomes the result.

I wouldn't drag out someone from what they do if they are not even listening. I might even be the one that they'll make feel bad because of what we're try to do to them.

There's a guilt feeling behind it, they do not want to lose, and guilty that they lose money that they are not comfortable to lose, so they try to add more money in the hope that they can recover it, many gamblers have experienced this and it's a hard lesson to learn but if you have this experience, you have learn the hard way that gambling is not to make money always.

If they can learn from their experiences or other people experience, but if they can not, then we as a friend must remind them to stop gambling. It is not easy to tell them about the danger of playing gambling, especially if they really enjoy playing gambling. But that is what we should do to them.

No, I will do that if I see my friend are playing gambling for so long because I do not want to see him lose his money. After all, they need to take a break. Otherwise, they will become addicted to gambling in the future. I am sure we do not want to see our friend becomes addicted to gambling, especially if that friend is close to mine.

That is not recommended to playing gambling while you are drunk as you do not remember what you did before, and that can trigger to use all of the money you have to satisfy your passion. You already get the experience from what you got when you are playing gambling while you are drunk, so next time, you must avoid that.

Yes, I agree with you. Sometimes, our friends will not accept the suggestion and still playing gambling. But we do not have to leave them while playing gambling because they will not survive in that game and use the other money.

Geez, talk about drinking, I have an uncle who very addicted to drinking, and every night, he always drinks and goes to someplace. But now, he already passed away.

Yes, it is. That turns about how we can win and avoid losing in the gambling games. That is natural, especially if we are having fun and enjoy playing the game in the beginning. But if we lose control to stop gambling, we will drag into a deep side of gambling without stopping gambling for a while.

They still want to play more and more because they want to recover from their loss before and that is why they do not want to listen to what we suggested.

Sometimes, we can drag them out from that place to save them before losing all of the money. It is better to use that money to buy food and drink and enjoy the time gather with our friends in one place than to spend all of the money playing gambling.

First, I never find myself in such a situation because I always deposit the amount I can afford to lose in the first place so I gamble with free mind cause I have nothing to lose
But what you guys don't understand is those that find themselves in the situation of wagering to recover their loss aren't enjoying the game but punishing themselves physically and mentally although we can only advise them to stop we cannot force them.

What I've come to realize, sometimes it is no longer about having fun and enjoyment.

But it's about the hard times that they've been through and the mental stress that it has brought to them and the reason why they want to keep on going is because of their losses.

I've seen many times with those reasons why they're keep on going on and the only way to stop them is when they have nothing left.
