Topic: Have you been threaten to stop gambling - page 2. (Read 2408 times)

We are responsibilities to take cate of. I do gamble but more often, knowing the social finance status, ready to take things to the next level. Knowing about gambling is one thing; understanding how it works is quite another. The primary functions that would clear the way for tremendous riches. We are threatened by the crucial factors circumstance around us; it is basically not a solid pavement, but we are left with no other options but to gamble and make cool cash. Faced with gambling threats, of course I would not allow it to come to that, firmly adopting rules that would benefit and bring targets closer connected.

With experience, you will be able to assess on your own if you are already exceeded from your usual habits,
something that you earn from doing it in a longer time frame.

It's good if you have that control and there's no need to wait for someone to tell you that you are not in the right directions
to the point that they will going to threaten you just for you to stop your gambling activities.

I haven't been threatened because my gambling addiction isn't severe and I won't let myself go that far. Simply because I've been gambling for so long, I know how it works, and going too far won't help. So going to the point where a threat will come from individuals close to me will not happen.

For me personally, I have never been threatened by anyone because I have never told my gambling activities to either my girlfriend or family. but I once threatened myself to stop gambling.

Situations like this can happen when I experience a big loss so that I threaten myself personally to break away from the world of gambling. But I can't because part of my fun is in gambling.

This made me think repeatedly that I would leave gambling because I could find no other pleasure apart from betting, so the steps I took were to improve my skills in gambling and absorb as much information as possible so that I could analyze it as best I could in order to increase my chances. in sports betting.

In addition, I can manage my finances when gambling because I have gained experience in the form of previous incidents when playing gambling.

if for example you are in a situation like this what will you do, will you stop your gambling activities or improve your skills when betting.?

Well, living for the money from your parents and gambling at the same time is a horrible thing to do. Same as when living from your wife's money(Don't tell me that there's no one, living from their wife's money). Gambling is an entertainment. An expensive one sometimes. Is it morally correct to spend someone else's money on your expensive whims? And I want to add that if you are earning money by yourself and you have small kids, it's their money too. Don't forget about that.

I don't think that the threatening from the wife or girlfriend is because of the amount of money one has been spending on their gambling activities, but it is about the fact that they've been hiding it from them since the beginning, and when you are in a relationship, you ought to not hide anything with each other, and if you have been keeping a secret for such a long time, especially if you are married and she's not just your girlfriend, the threatening I would say is a lenient reaction to that.

If I, being a man, come to know that my wife has been doing something on my back for a very long time and never once told me anything about it, I'm pretty sure that my reaction will be way more than just threatening her to stop doing that because this is totally breaking your trust.

Yeah if you are having a strong ties whether it is for your parents or relatives expect that they will threaten you to stop especially if it is against their belief, so I think if you have your own life and own house and there's nothing to be bothered enough or nothing to taken care of it is much easier to play, we live in a world of judgemental people where gamblers are all being treated as addicts.

This always come from parents and wives. When you are still under the control of your parents and you are going to school (tertiary institution) and they know that you are gambling, they will threatened him to stop and if he will not stop then they will also stop paying his school fees and with that fear the person will limit his visiting time to the betting halls and hide himself to play gamble. I have not been threatened to stop gambling. And this threaten happened to those who always gamble. And not on the occasional gamblers.

Small but frequent expenses, over time, can become big, especially if he uses it for gambling. Previously he only used small money, but because he lost, he deposited another small amount, lost again, and deposited another small amount. It's the same as depositing big money but divided into small amounts.

Yes, when there is a breach of trust from their partner, it will trigger a fight because that person can no longer keep their trust. Perhaps, once or twice, it's okay, but if it happens a lot and nothing changes, it will impact his family relationship and both of them.

The problem here is not gambling by itself, instead the problem is that the friend of the OP is gambling and losing a lot of money on the activity.

And this is without a doubt a problem as when it comes to small expenses then it is natural that partners in a relationship will have the liberty to spend a small amount of money without telling their significant other about it, but when it comes to a big amount of money then both parties need to be aware of it, and if that is not the case then this is a breach of trust from which it may be impossible to recover if measures are not taken to do something about it.

I know that in each of our cultures there are many rules and many values that sometimes it doesn't make sense that someone can be penalized, except someone who is your own child, I really wouldn't do it, first, because he earned it, second, It's his luck, if I don't celebrate his luck and his achievements, then what am I in this world for him? It doesn't make sense to me, I don't agree with these things about how the father acted, besides, who does he look good with? casino games, sports betting, this is not a bad influence, nor is it a bad activity, sometimes we ourselves make something look bad that is quite normal.

Depending on where they grow up, each person has their customs and that is respectable, but when it comes to prizes or something that can be won , I don't see anything wrong with it, it is normal , there is no reason to fall as if it were something so bad, here are the things must be done correctly, the son did not steal, he won, he did not do anything that was outside the rules, this is something that should be known , in some cases Gambling can cause addiction problems, but in this case It wasn't even close to something like that, I don't see anything wrong with it.

For now, the things that can be caused is that gambling with respect to how the person acted, should be made aware and take this as an Example of things that should not be done, this is essential when it comes to seeing the game as something It's not bad, it's simple, it has a means of diversion and some earn or lose money, there's nothing bad there, no laws are broken, in some countries it's illegal, since nothing should be done there , but the game It is an Activity where you have to have responsibility, moderation and a lot of peace of mind, because what you are risking is money, apart from all this, those who have the absolute responsibility of doing things well are Ourselves , that is the power of games in casinos , and to make Sports Bets.

I still think that even if you gamble only 2-3 hours a week, your close ones, especially your wife, should know about it. If you start concealing things, just small things like healthy gambling, you may start concealing bigger things in the future. Turning into addicted gambler from regular gambling is rare, but it can happen, and it's better when close ones know about your problem.


In my opinion, this is most likely the case with the OP's friend.

To be honest, I totally understand this guy's wife. If my girlfriend(I don't have a gf right now) was secretly gambling and losing lots of money, I might also threaten her to stop gambling. Keeping such secrets while being in a relationship is kinda toxic. On the other hand, I might also keep my gambling habits a secret, if I was in such situation. Many people might freak out, if they find out that their significant other is a gambler.
Nobody would ever threaten me to stop gambling, because:
1.I don't tell anybody in my social circle that I gamble.
2.I would never spend big amounts and make my gambling loses into a serious problem.

If I became OP maybe I would stop gambling to honor my parents, because of course as long as they are alive I have to be devoted to them before they actually go see our good behavior obey them, but it would be very sad if they go see our behavior or bad behavior towards them. there is nothing wrong with listening to parents for our own good.

But if only pressured by our wives we can still talk about it well as long as we trust our wives to manage our finances so we don't get too careless and become heavy addicts in gambling, that's why it's important to communicate and be honest with those closest to us like wives so there won't be any misunderstandings let alone gambling secretly it won't be good in the end. believe that gambling honestly will be better

regarding your friend problem it seems very sad because he is dealing with his own parents which is clear that parents want the best for their children but in reality he is still gambling even though his parents have threatened him. but after all, his parents still have the kindness that is willing to forgive their children for giving a chance and I think if your friend is gambling again, it means he is a stupid child who is disobedient to his parents.

maybe OP story is that he deals with his wife which is not too complicated and everything can be rearranged so that it will be fine even though he is still gambling secretly but dealing with parents will be very difficult and I hope your friends have to stop gambling even though it will be very difficult but this is about respecting parents.

Yes, maybe each player will have a different ability to play, other players have the ability to last a long time because they are not busy people but only have a small financial capacity, so they always play with a minimum bet, but some have a limited of time because they are busy with many other activities, but when it comes to money, these people have a lot of money, so when playing they will immediately use large bets.
In my opinion, it is not how long it takes to play that can lead a person to fall into addiction but what percentage of his financial ability is used for gambling, if the player plays using more than 50% of his financial ability then even though he only plays once a week but directly with that percentage then sooner or later he will eventually have financial difficulties and without being forced by others he will stop gambling because his financial abilities are decreasing over time.

Never that I experienced threats from anyone just because of gambling but there is a friend of mine that has this situation like yours , actually it was not His wife but His parents that threaten Him to make Him leave the house and will not giving Him anything because of his constant gambling in which a not allowed in their religion .
and yes since he did not listen ,  he become Homeless after a week when we spoke.
but Good thing that he learned his lesson and after couple of months His parents forgive Him with a promise to never gamble again and yes now he is a spiritual leader as we speak here.

Gambling is not about the time; rather, it is about the odds and games that are highlighted to be precisely measured with one's forecast. Addiction is rampant in the gambling sector; I've encountered numerous gamblers who want to quit but don't know how; it's understandable. Gamblers confront threats at some point, either as a result of upcoming debts or as a result of their responsibilities. In general, there are always ways to generate multiple channels of income, because relying on only one would be detrimental, as they would have to face the realities of life and cope with it.

Laws and regulations should be made thinking about the average person, are there kids out there which are more mature than some adults I have meet through my life? Yes, but they are an exception.

And even if you were to give them money with no express purpose there must still be limitations about how they may use it, not only the ones established by the law, which do not allow minors to gamble anyway, but also those which arise from our common sense, which should also should not allow any form of gambling even the kind you can find on video games these days.

Lol  Gambling for more than 20-30 minutes a day is bound to make a person deeply addicted to gambling. and no matter how expert a person is at gambling, if he gambles for a long time every day, he will panic at some point and face huge financial losses. So I don't recommend gambling for more than 20-30 minutes per day. It is also fatal if one is a regular gambler who will fall into a sort of void if he wants to quit gambling. So instead of gambling every day it is better to take a break and play 2-3 days a week
