It's really a shame, this is really one of those sad stories that really tell the dark side of sports betting and gambling in general, I could not help it, but had tears rolling down my cheek while reading this story..
It’s sad indeed but, had it been this individual didn’t get to lose the money at a gambling house, what’s the guarantee that he wasn’t going to lose it some place else?
It’s just what happens in our every day society, following the advent of different organizations and means to making money.
I think the issue with this individual in question is his approach to making money and managing it as well.

When you see gambling for a means of earning easy money, a source of livelihood and stuff like that, you get hampered good.

The bad news is; he took his life afterwards. Sad his life cost that less because, he truly doesn’t know what’s the price on his life to have limited it to lost fees on bets.

I hope we all as gamblers learn a thing or two from this, and go back and look at our gambling life and see if there is a thing or two that needs to be adjusted..
I pray non of us, and any of our relative shall ever be a victim of such a sad story Huh?.
I do believe that we shouldn't be really shocked about this because we keep seeing about these type of people, they do exist and even though we would say "don't do it" normal people are aware that they shouldn't do it, it is not a shock, and we shouldn't be shocked neither. I mean you wouldn't do it, I wouldn't no normal person would do it and I understand that, but when it comes down to these people it is obvious that they are not normal.

I believe that we shouldn't judge them, there are a lot of people with mental issues and I think it would be quite troublesome if we end up with anything more than that when we scratch off these type of people as well. I think it's quite important to just let them be and hope that they get the treatment they need before they end up like this guy.
Well, each person has their way of thinking and their way of acting, that defines it according to their personality and it is very common for there to be people who have some problems, either due to trauma or because they were actually born with a flaw in their brain, and these things are sometimes not their fault, the bad thing is that when they are not treated in time they can give all kinds of reactions regardless of the consequences , of course this carries a huge responsibility charge and this leads us to think that all of us As players we always have to be responsible for our game and always be very right in what we do.

First I've seen of this that's brutal.  But there has to be more to the story than losing just school fees right?  I mean anyone can rebound from that.  There had to be some underlying issues that this is what pushed them over the edge.  Maybe I'm wrong and if I am this is definitely the dark side to not only gambling but the addiction of gambling.

School fees or college fees? The article mentions that he is 22-years old. I would expect someone in his early 20s to act more maturely. But then I know a lot of people who have taken out loans from banks so that they can gamble. In the end, they lose whatever collateral they have provided and end up in penury. Some of the conservatives argue that these incidents are quite common and therefore gambling should be banned altogether. But I don't agree with their views either. If we ban gambling, then it will just push the industry undercover and victims of fraud and crime will be afraid to go to the police.

There has been a story similar to this but this look more suspicious, I have heard some addicted gamblers took a loan to gamble and it doesn't go as the plan they committed suicide, I have seen and heard addicted gambler use their parent's pension to gamble and when the game was lost, the parent died as a result of the panic and shock when they heard about the tragic loss, I have also seen a gambler but I can't say if he is addicted, the bettor used his school fees(master degree school fees) to bet, he tried to kill himself but was recovered after he was rushed to the hospital, but this guy committed suicide for small money, that is scary to believe for a 22 years old to do, there is more challenge to life he will come across and I wonder people in his peer group will do in future difficulties.
This is why despite how shocking those events could be I consider them to be kind of rare, after all I am sure the majority of the people here in the forum have owed way more money than this person and yet this kind of decision did not even enter their minds for a single second, then it should be clear that this person was suffering from something way beyond gambling addiction as the majority of gambling addicts never take such an irrevocable decision.

We often come across such stories where people who have lost control over gambling have not been able to return to their normal lives. I came to know about such an incident today too through you. Gambling is a common problem for everyone but it is a big problem for those who cannot control it. But there is no fault of gambling platform or gambling by the story. It is entirely his fault that the young man chose to commit suicide after losing his school fees. Maybe he lost his money gambling but he should have realized that he could have earned that money if he wanted to or it would have been okay later if he felt guilty temporarily to his family. But it is certainly not reasonable that he should choose the path of suicide. A man must have a good idea about the value of little money and life.
Gambling has a negative impact on people who become addicts because with gambling addiction a person can commit acts beyond the limits of either criminal acts or other actions that are detrimental to himself.
Actually they are also aware of this but still continue to gamble without thinking about the risks.
I don't know what they did but it wasn't a good thing.

Bad events have happened so far, the impact of gambling, but gambling is a choice, so they must be able to take responsibility for whatever the risk is.

The shame he felt for using his friend school fee's money was so intense that he took his own life. Probably he didn't have any means to repay his friend who was already asking for the money, because he needed it to continue his course at the school, added to the fact his parents also didn't have the money to repay his friend. So it was a double shame he felt (regards his parents and regards his friend).

These things happen without the person thinking carefully about what he is going to do. If they had more time to talk and to clear things up it could have been possible to avoid this tragedy. But everything happened so fast, unfortunatelly... Now it's important that educators, health professionals and authorities take some time to enlight the younger generation on how to solve problems logically and reasonably, without taking extreme measures like that young man did on this case.

It's just so saddening that there are instances like these. It could have been prevented if there is a good communication between them. It is such a watse that a precious life is taken away because of money matters. Financial problems can be solved, but a life that is gone is forever gone. No amount of money can bring life back. Hence, it must be instilled in the minds of the younger generations to open up, communicate, take responsibility, and do the best that they can to solve their problems instead of running away from it and leaving bigger problem and heartache behind.

It's true that shame and regret can affect your mental health, so be sure to seek professional help or the guidance of those people around you if ever you'll be facing a hard time in the future with the same problem with this. But I really do hope that there will be no one reading this that will experience the same pain and burden this young man had to go through because of miscalculated gambling spending.

It would be believable that suicidal acts would came from those unpaid loans whether it would be on a bank or those those other lending companies which does have some horrendous interest on which on the time that
you wouldn't really be able to repay those obligations then they would really be definitely getting your possessions or specially on what you had in collateral which it is really that a common approach.

Speaking about a student losing up some school fees or money that he had borrowed into his friend? Making up some suicide for this reason isnt something believable on which same as you said that i do see this to be
non real or not really that realistic at all on making up such decisions. Taking up suicide would really be your last resort if you dont really have any other ways or solutions into the problem but come in mind that
even if you do take your own life, then your loved ones would really be shouldering those debts and not something that would really be cleared up on the time that you do pass away.

It is better to keep the gambling industry legal, after all if it was banned then it would not stop existing, gambling will simply move underground and organized crime will gain control of it, so now gamblers will not only keep gambling but now they will have to expose themselves and become criminals according to those laws while they are openly scammed by those shady casinos and have no legal way to proceed against them, so as sad as these kind of stories could be, we gain nothing by banning gambling.

Over the next yes, I hope that people should be emotionally stable and strong before committing themselves into gambling.
Remember that we have free councils that are available 24/7 like begambleaware.org and responsiblegambling.org. I am also quite sure that there are similar services available to you locally.
If you know someone or you are someone that has gambling related problems, specially addiction, do not hesitate to hit them up, I am sure they can help you feel better.

That's right and it is also undeniable that the country's economy is having a boost because of the gambling industry, it's just that the effects towards the people are unbearable because not everyone who gambles towards it have the right mindset beforehand or at least got a decent goal so that they can avoid burying their feet even if they are still alive.

The story of a 22 year old boy might be unfortunate because he is also a victim of gambling but we cannot really do something about it as it was his own decision in the first place that pushed him and made him to commit suicide. I just cannot imagine what the boy had experience beforehand because he sees no other way.

First and foremost, the most basic rule of gambling is - risk only as much as you can afford to lose. If you ever break this rule, in all probability you will end up ruined. This particular incident is not an isolated one. I have seen some of my friends taking out loans from others, in order to gamble. And it is not just gambling in casinos. Some people take out loans in order to make high-risk investments. It is also a form of gambling. Sometimes, it works out for them. But in a majority of the cases, it doesn't and the individual ends up with very few choices.
That's right. However, some gamblers can't follow this basic rule because of high expectation. I know a gambler who became addicted in gambling because of his belief that he can win huge like those players from the ads he saw who managed to hit a jackpot. At first he's only playing using small amount and with discipline, but that change after few weeks of playing because he's already using half os his day job salary. This is an example of a gambler who have no control and already spending the money that he can't afford to lose. There are many stories similar in op, that's the effect of gambling to those who can't handle gambling and tend to do bad things just to sustain their addiction.

A gambler or a gambling addict should not take loans at all, especially if they are taking the loan specifically to gamble with the hope that they will win a lot of money, pay the loan and gamble again with the remaining money because that doesn't work, you will eventually lose the money and then start looking for ways about how you can pay the loan back before the repayment date, that is where problems start to build up.

I know a person who is a relative, he took a loan to gamble so that he can earn some money, repay the loan and keep the remaining money, but plans that you make about gambling and winnings from it are never going to go the way you want them to, he lost the loan, took a loan from somewhere else to repay the previous one and that continues.

And as @Fivestar4everMVP said, I hope none of our families and fall victim to the story. We have to really look after each other so that our families don't get mired in gambling addiction, especially since we have heard many sad stories about gambling addiction.

And those who haven't experienced gambling addiction but have often played gambling should immediately realize to reduce their gambling activities and divert them to other things that can provide better benefits. And for parents, they really have to be able to protect their children from wrong associations because that can lead them to take the wrong path.

Though we cannot assume someone being 22 years of age an underaged anymore but yet he may be lacking making things serving as experience in gambling field, am not sure maybe if they dig further into his case that might be his first attempt in gambling, there are people that got too excited whenever they hear about gambling and it took away their total concentration from what they have been doing before, all because they wanted to gamble, of which there's nothing bad as long as they will be able to maintain some precautions in gambling to serves as guidelines.

This basically leaves me the impression that once you get easy and fast money, 99% out of 100 you will lose that money easier and faster. Not because you don't deserve it, but because you are not ready for that large sum of money mentally and psychologically. Well of course I feel bad of the student's case, but let that experience sink in to everyone.

Don't put money on something that you aren't willing to lose. Otherwise, you will end up losing yourself.  There's a reason why gambling become legal and that is to make it easier for authority to monitor it. Banning will only make it harder reach for both regulators and authorities.
