Just wondering how humans(Gamblers) can be so cruel in satisfying their wants to others detriment. This keeps me wondering if there are still gamblers who haven't carried out an illegal act just to satisfy their urge in gambling. Something happened in my neighborhood today: A Man who we'll know as a good neighbor has just been arrested for stealing during this lockdown period, this was done because he gambled a day before yesterday and lost. According to him, he wanted to steal the funds to get back his lost but was caught in the process and had been handed over to the local police for further investigation.

He's just a public victim here. Although, many wouldn't like to share their experience with us on this, because of their reputation, but will appreciate the sincere response from forum members in this regard.

Have you ever carried out an illegal act just to finance your gambling? Remember this: many have stolen from their parents or from friends to finance their gambling, were you caught or not? Share your experience with the us and equally advise when necessary.

Lol, you really asking if people committed some illegal stuffs to finance their gambling addiction?
I doubt anyone would confess if they had committed any kind of illegal activity. Like, I mean why would they? I also doubt if anyone who posted over here about their illicit act actually did anything like that.

If illegal is also unethical, which means that I'd have to harm another person, steal, cheat, mug, murder, destroy property, that I'd never do.
If by illegal you mean something that my government came up with and something that doesn't harm anyone, just isn't compliant with "their" rules (gambling where gambling is forbidden, using a currency that is forbidden, trading on a black market, not reporting profits) sure, I'd do that. I'm rather a rebellious type that follows his own code.

It doesn't make any sense to ask this question at all. Let's assume someone actually did commit a crime to find a way to make money so they could gamble, do you really think that this topic will be the place they actually come clean? I mean all of our IP is registered and if we did anything illegal we could still be found, hell it is even possible for someone here to find who you are let alone theymos himself.

However it also doesn't make any sense at all to commit a crime to finance gambling, after all you are risking your own freedom by committing a crime and making money, why would anyone double down on that and lose all that money gambling? That would be like committing a crime for nothing at all, you are still guilty but now you have no money to show for it neither, makes no sense to me at all.

Lying is illegal just to finance your gambling and I did that only twice, I lied about my bonus but instead choose to play with it, just so lucky that I won both times, but I soon realized that it's not going to do me good, if you are going to gamble you must be comfortable with the money that you have and where you've got.

When we gamble and we use money that is what we earned, or money that is not really for gambling, we pay for it. Gambling is risky and there is no assurance of winning. Sometimes, the chance of losing is higher than winning. So we must not practice it. Just hold the temptation until we already have money. Gambling can wait.

As a gambler, it is better for me that the money that I will use in gambling is something comes from me and not from anyone else. There is not a single time that comes to my mind to commit crime just to have a capital that I use in gambling. I know that if I do bad, it can create a bad reputation or I even ended up in jail. I only gambling for fun so I will never do such a bad things just for me to have money that I can use in gambling.

Never considered something like that.. You should only gamble with funds that you are able to lose without getting into trouble anyway. I can understand some people getting really addicted though and feeling like they have no other option though.

If we will just focus on large money stolen from other people and went to a casino then I didn't do it but if we will include stolen any amount of money to other people then maybe most of us did it.

Maybe some of the users here did it. They committed illegal act just to have money to gamble. Its just that they robbed a small amount of money (maybe around $1-5$) for small gambling like gambling in the streets or gambling with your friends. Maybe some here including me did it but I didn't tried to steal huge amounts of money just for gambling like in casinos or gambling places where there are huge bets on it. I'm just betting on small amounts.

I will not do anything illegal activities because of the gambling, that people who do that is sign of being addicted player.
If you want to gambling don't harm other people it is a reminder for us it's our choice to play gambling so if we lose our money it's our fault too and that is not the reason for us to do illegal activities like what a man do .

Maybe some of us here already committed such act but would rather keep it by themselves since its already in the past and they pay the price already for doing it.

People have to change, maybe it was not fair if we just judge to that certain person because he is doing badly before. It was in the past and It for sure they regret doing it, and I don't think we need to remember those bad days but rather to bury it and forgot.

I know some people commit illegal things in gambling it might be intentional or not, and that probably because of many reasons. It was just they never think it at first before doing such action. And one reason that might push a person to do that is because of so much greedy. And I was lucky not to have it in my mind.

Well even I became an addicted gambler, I never steal anyone's money to sustain my gambling addiction. The mistakes I did was spending my whole salary for gambling and didnt think of the welfare of my family. That money is meant for important things, I thought I can double it easily but I was wrong. Its all in the past and I already learned my lesson.

Why think of that.

Because, I wonder how many have done such illegal acts even though the law sees them minors and parents ignored. Oh!, don't you think we have all committed something in this regard? I do in my infantry during one of our famous festival. Things have changed and I have learnt my own lessons from childhood.

Of course, there is.

Then, let him or her wash hands in public.

The gambling community is so vast and the situation you shared is just one of the negative effects of doing gambling. Don't generalized it on a whole.
~~~

In sincerity, many of us have been victim of this act mate, except, those who never understand the world "Gambling" from childhood. I now believe that, many of us here aren't gamblers from childhood because if you does, you must be among this class of persons. This facts are arguable.

It's a stupid idea for gambling only, it's just the same sin, you'll do illegal things then why not just break a law like stealing money that you'll never work anymore and gamble to make money. Really, this doesn't come into my mind, even if I get drunk maybe because I know and I understand that gambling is not gonna be fun if you get yourself control by it.

So you are claiming that gambling is a stupid idea, looks like you are a perfect individual who does not waste money unnecessarily, i used to gamble once in a while and if you are doing with the money you earn then what is the big deal, what i did not understand is the correlation between stealing and gambling, if your country does not allow gambling then it is better to follow the rules rather than getting into trouble.

I think you missed the point mate,what he wanted to say is at least if you decide to commit mistakes don’t do it just for gambling and not with small amount.

Maybe he wanted to tell us is if you make illegal things do it largely because that is the same sin as petty crime.

Though i am not in support to this kind of bad decision yet he is correct at least one time big time is what you’ve get in this one.

That kind of act is human nature and not just happening in the gambling world. It's like Situation A = Effect, Situation B = Effect etc. These people failed on their main purposes why they do a certain thing so the time they failed they will do something, even illegally to cover the hole.

That won't be stopped. It really depends on a person how they will handle the stress of being a failure.

If people wont really have those kind of intentions or things in mind then this world would really be a better place yet there would be no crime in terms of theft and other illegal act
because the main goal on committing these things is to make money no matter what the reason is, neither it would be used for gambling or would fulfill their wish to become rich
in a short time on stealing or illegal acts.This isnt indeed not only applied on gambling but in all sorts of things as long it do involved money then these possibilities can really happen.

If you're adult and ever did that then you're not on the right mind to do that filthy thing, you know what's good and what could harm you.

Yet to realize that they are wrong but it was late and seems to be acceptable by then knowing the fact that everyone could possibly commit mistakes any time and for some reason. They could surely learn from their mistakes but it couldn't be sure also if they will never do it again.

Gambling is somewhat a mind-changing, it affects mentally and financially. And those who can't manage themself, it absolutely brought them to the hell.

he is only a victim ? i guess no because he comitted this act by himself and he loose his money on gambling by himself too not unless if other people dictated him to do those stuffs .

stealing from parents money is bad but this isnt heavy as compare to stealing on other people or on big establishments were you can get arrested and jailed like what happen to the victim on this thread . i still dont encourage both acts but im just comparing them

Even if he's been dictated by someone then i dont see a reason on why he would be a victim yet acts been done by ones self on his own will so that one does count and theres no one to be blamed but yourself.

When you get caught by someone on doing illegal act then only yourself would be the one to face up consequences even if you have been ordered or forced by someone.

Going into this situation does simply shows that you are already heavily addicted with gambling on where you do already come to a point on doing things which shouldnt really be done.

Never in my entire gambling life did that and never will be for I know when to start playing and when to stop. People who do or did criminal acts because of gambling may not always be addict gamblers they might be a first time player who get emotionally hooked and probably loss what they don't even own and after the session that is the time they might do criminal acts to compensate what they have a loss.

People who lied how much they are spending and how frequently they do gambling might be considered as gambling addicts because addicts will never admit that they are already addicted to something, better be aware of this behavior because they can easily get irritated and may still cause harm to anyone. For me, in order to avoid committing a crime just to finance gambling or regaining our loss, we should always know our limitations in gambling.
