Topic: Have I done wrong by lifting him outside the betting shop? - page 3. (Read 972 times)

You did not do anything wrong in pulling him outside the gambling shop perhaps, if he has lost, you may extend his grieves towards you particularly that he stepped into the bet shop after you.

Maybe I should tell you to be careful otherwise when you want to take such friend out of such gambling situation because you can imagine if he was loosing, definitely he would be aggressive and dangerous at that moment because he has been under pressure or greeds or trying to recover his lost.

However, friends that watches each others back would always appreciate each other at all.

Now I want to asked; Have I done wrong to have lift him from the gambling shop?

Also did you think he would win more if he had continued gambling?

Again, if he lose all the money won do you think he would continue or stop?

You are a good friend. You have been following what we have been discussing on the gambling discussion board on this forum.

That is one thing about betting, the gambler will be winning and it will be very interesting for him to continue playing.  It if he continued to play, likely he would have lost some money or lost all if he had the time to bet more.

Maybelline he would not appreciate your thoughtfulness to stop him from gambling further now, but he'll definitely admit that you did him a huge favour the next time he goes to that same place alone.

What you did I call it a double edged sword no matter that many people will say well done to you.May be I will say well done too if your friend would have continued and lost but if your friend had continued and may be hit a really huge win and placed a ticket with so many events maybe,then there is nothing to say well done here,you maybe have removed his chance to win big,to make a change and impact in his life.I know that most likely addiction would come after that huge win but that is another story and we are discussing the behavior in here,while many will claim you did well I simply don't know if you did well or not as we don't know what would have happened if you let your friend play.

Nobody knows if he could have won more games or maybe he was in his winning streak.

Days ago with my friend, we stepped out to play
a local game (Epele or draft) when we got there people where playing and when it gets to his turn he start playing and win, then I played with him he also wins me then someone looked and say you can't come here to start pulling out people from the board therefore "I must win you", like a joke he won and my friend stepped down. Long story short..

Fast forward... Our way going, then i decided to go check on person in a local gambling shop, we both stepped inside together, he went straight to seat while I was discussing with the staff there. At some point he was pushed to gamble, though our intention is never to gamble just to see someone and continue going home, he then say see "guy let me try luck to see if I can double my money" he then decided to play virtual.

On the process he then pick 4 match and stake with 200, and then pick another 4 matches and stake with another 200 which is a total of 400, he lost one ticket and the other tickets wins he then stake with 200 again into two he won all. So he ended up winning 3 times he wanted to stake the 4th one, what I did was to lift him outside and draw him from gambling more.

On our way going he started yelling at me that why did I lift him outside that he knows what he was doing, that he could had won more game and raised enough money for the day, maybe he could win huge amount.
But to me, the only thing I replied him is you are being greedy why would you allow greed to rollover you?

Someone once told me never to interrupt an angry gambler. You'll never gain anything from it and he'll be angry at you for denying him a win, or not allowing him to earn back what he'd lost.
It reminds me of a story a friend once told me about helping a drunk guy. He saw a man lying on the side of the road at night and there was nobody around to help him, so he pulled him up and sat him on a nearby bench. The drunkard woke up, reached for his pocket and asked: where's my wallet? I had a wallet and you took it from me you thief! In a nutshell this is the thanks you get for trying to help an addict.
