In my infantry I did something that are more like telling g lies to be able finance the games backed then. I used to tell lies to get some funds for me to go for competition with my mates, this competition was always done during the festival period and many of us always like to participate, so, without the option of lies I don't stand any chance to play the games, so, I tell lies to belong. But when I grow to discover that telling lies was a sin I repented off my deeds.

Of course not. Why would I have or need to do such things like committing illegal actions just to finance myself to play gambling? Also, who on earth would have the courage to confess such private matter over a thread that can be seen by many people in the forum? If you or anyone would like to finance themselves to fulfill their urge on playing gambling, you must do it on a legal or good way because committing such crimes will provide you no good but just put too much pressure on yourself and might get you into trouble since hideous crimes is against the law. It will be your guilt to imagine to do crime for the sake of playing gambling. If you do not have any resources to use for playing gambling, then maybe it is not meant for you to play. Just play base on what you can afford and what you do not have to avoid putting yourself into a trouble.

Look at the survey data https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/reason-for-ending-gambling-sessions-had-something-else-to-do-5244174
According to Columb & O'Gara (2017), 75% of 208 users "had to borrow or sell to fund gambling." I think gamblers take too much risk at this point.

thanks for the surveyed data share with us. This got me confused some days ago while I was reading through the comments on this thread, some were actually factual about their involvement while many others (bigger percentage never admitted they're or were involved in such act, even throughout their childhood) this got my attention. According to the survey data presented, 75% is a huge number of involvement in this case. Remember: those under borrow are more at a higher risk than those who sell( if only the property sold belong to the gambler, else the worst). We have see cases were someone will sell what belongs to the family just to gamble.

can't blame those stupid gamblers who are doing this kind of things just to be happy or just to have funds to gamble but there are many ways to earn money.
how could someone have fun or be happy while gambling with a money he stole from someone else?!
Being an addict is not an execuse to commit crimes and we should not sympathize with them.

Usually, gamblers are seen to have so much untrusted natures , the addicted always abnormal about it. They tend to be greedy, covetious, envious and quarrelsome. Because when they loose , they feel bad and keep looking for revenge. Until they get frustrated. Stealing friend's money to gamble is not in anyway good. All this has painted gambling red.

I have never done such a thing to gamble because if it is done it will be faced with the law because it is a silly act to do illegal acts to finance gambling.
If I have money then I will gamble, if not then I will stop gambling if I have been addicted to anything I can definitely control it because illegal actions will certainly be affected later then we must be able to control myself from gambling when the financial situation is weak because it will be difficult for addicts to do such a thing and surely they will do anything that is the way to gamble for the addicts.
And for me it won't do that.

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.
It maybe somewhat stupid but there are some gamblers who are doing this kind of act just for the sake of gambling, pleasure and having fun.Even they are doing things like this, they know its limitations too that is why they are not breaking the law like you said although there are some who are doing this. They are more stupid than those who are stealing small amounts of money to their relatives or family. For a non-addicted gambler like us, this kind of thing will not come into our mind since we are spending money not for gambling but for our own needs
.some might consider those things and might consider on the other side which is totally nonsense if they do able to do so since we know
on what would be the consequences that lies ahead.
You would really come into this conclusion if you do let your addiction control you or your desperate enough to tackle up even the illegal
just to provide money into your gambling.

Fortunately, I never experience such issues since I know the limit. I hope you guys also know your limit so you won't get into trouble.
Also, I'm optimistic we are here can be a healthy gambling community.

Even though I badly needed money in life, or in gambling, it never come to my mind to do naything reckless or ilegal just to have money. I have friends, and family who can help me with that kind of problem. It is not a solution. My mother taught we well too. It is better to stop if we do not have money rather than making our image bad in the eyes of the others. Doing ilegal can also bring us to jail. So just set aside the temptation to gamble.

Only those people who are very hooked on gambling can do such worse thing, if you are a responsible gambler you will not do such thing that will ruin your reputation just to gamble, you are a gambling addict if you justify what you are doing illegally.
April 28, 2020, 06:36:53 AM
No, I wouldn't go that far. I have even never considered gambling with money that I have borrowed from someone else. If I don't have money, I wouldn't gamble or stop gambling. If you are willing to go this far to feed your craving to gamble, you need to seek help or else gambling will ruin your life.
April 28, 2020, 04:51:47 AM
No I would never do something illegal just to get back what I loss on gambling or to have some funds to gamble.
If I couldn't sustain it might as well leave instead of doing something crazy that I would regret for the rest of my life or disgrace my name or my family.

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.
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.

I don't think the subject fits the scenario OP provided, why? Because it states, "to finance gambling", but the reason why the person got arrested is because he wants to take back the losses........................
Can a gambler get back His or Her loses without finding ways to finance the process?. As clearly stated at the OP, he gambled and lost, he was desperate to get back his lose, he then source for funds through illegal means. How does this not correspond with the subject above?. Re-reading the thread will give you a clearer picture to present your argument on a clearer note.

I admit I did but that was on the past way back when I was a kid and I am addicted to gambling. Though I did that it was just a penny just to satisfy what I want but this was changed through time when I get another hobby and involved lot of activities during high school and college.
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.

Sounds like a SS trap question to catch the fools admitting to having done illicit activity, lol. I only stole one thing in my entire life and that was a sub-$2 item when I was a little kid. That scared me well enough not to steal anything ever again.
Stealing to get money to gamble or to recover your loss is a disgusting behavior. You lost due to your fault and you're stealing from someone who hasn't done anything wrong. In other words, you're going for two-damages-in-one, both caused by yourself. If someone decides to gamble their house hoping to become a millionaire and loses everything, it's their own fault - you accept a risk once you open up/go into that casino and nobody else needs to pay for your loss.

getting caught in the act of stealing and using alibi to recover losses from gambling sounds funny .
would it be better if he can alibi something that will lessen his penalty like he only steal due to poverty because of the quarantine . anyway i do steal from my parents before to gamble but i remember i never stole to recover something what i loose but now that i have a job now , i can now feed my gambling appetite and not do stealing from my parents pocket or to someone else .

I see this inappropriate because the person is just taking back his losses and might thinking that he will stop gambling after he have taken it all back. So his intention isn't to finance gambling at all.
Well, enough of that, for me, I will not do such illegal things just for the sake of gambling, it is simply called, being addicted if we are into a state like the OP's example. It is hard to heal, disastrous as it could destroy relationships and family.
