Topic: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet - page 5. (Read 727 times)

whoosh, i didn't expect that woman to pin her future hopes on a man like that, i'm sure that man actually never had any intention of marrying that woman, he just wanted her money, that man was really stupid, he's not a responsible gambler.  i will never touch my savings for gambling capital, the more i insist on "always using money that you can lose" when gambling if you remain stupid then, of course, you will cut off your relationship with the people you care about.  Don't fall into the trap of thinking that the money you bet in gambling can give you big profits in a short time, it's never that easy.

though we don't know all the details in the story, in my opinion she should call the wedding off. if that is true, at least, she should be thankful because as early as she can, she already got her warning signals. would be disastrous if they are already a family and having this financial problem owed to gambling. and the fact that changing someone's lifestyle would take forever, i don't think his soon-to-be-husband would change that fast just to make amends with her.

Damnnnnnnn......!!!! What a mess....
I've never heard something as disgraceful as this before... You see the reasons why sometimes you don't need to habour an addiction in you, Cus it can actually hunt you tomorrow,.. on a very serious note.
That was actually something he could control but, since he was too obsessed with gambling, he couldn't realize his boundaries - so much that he had to penetrate into a joint wallet that atleast 60% of the cash wasn't his own... So sad!

That could be their savings for their future family as a whole including that grand ceremony in gambling but of course we don’t know the real story behind this. Though we cannot deny the fact that this is really happening we heard a lot of true story about a gambler spending their savings and losing it, being responsible is a must and as a gambler you should have your separate funds to address your gambling activities or at least to fund it if you want to gamble, don’t ever use any funds that is not yours.

The manner at which some people gamble with almost everything is most times unbelievable. I would've probably thought this was a mere falacy but I've also seen people who's gambled with money meanr more important thing like this and still ended up losing the money.
Using a savings that was meant for wedding is just too difficult for anyone to forgive whoever that did that. I think the best thing for the lady in question to do is to call off the wedding because it'll be very dangerous for her to go ahead and marry such chronically addicted gambler.

Gambling sometimes ruins someone's life and ambition - like what happened to the lady and their wedding plan, I'd see it was possible to discontinue and even ruin their reputation as well.

I'm going to wonder why there are some people who rely on luck and think about making money in gambling which in fact, we know that we only have fewer chances to win. If he is a smart person and thinking about his wedding, supposed he should not use that money.

That's truly a mad fiancee and I think she shouldn't marry that idiot, imagine you're not yet married and you already did that to your wife to be, that's insane. The reason isn't valid considering how risky gambling is, I think the girl shouldn't be ashamed to call it off when she has the very reason to call it off.

This is one of the sad stories with gambling and being greedy, now he will pay for the price of being greedy. Though I hope that he gets the support that he needs even if he did this stupid decision because for sure he’s already suffering emotionally. Being too greedy in gambling can result into this kind of situation, if you are a gambler please don’t forget to have your limit and always stay within your budget.

Not all addicted gambler can stoop so low to behavior like this, I think a 10 years old child cannot be this stupid. This is beyound gambling addict for real, just imagine the pains the lady is passing through and it takes a lot of braveness to come out in the public. I will advice the lady to leave the marriage because he might end up betting his house one day.
But sincerely speaking I don't think the man wants to marry the lady why? Sometimes when taking some certain actions you need to consider the consequences and if you have a wife or fiancée  that should be the more reason you need to be careful, now in this case he deicide to use his marriage money for gambling knowing fully well that betting is very risky 50/50, very risky and he went ahead using his marriage money. I think from the starting of the story he was never interested in that marriage, ladies nowadays will never support a man for wedding plans or savings except the lady loves the guy.

How does a person convinces themselves to do something so stupid as this that hearing it or reading it alone makes you sick to your stomach. How does somebody decides to throw away dear future 4 this. You don't need an elaborate wedding. You do not need to impress people. Your wedding doesn't need to be the talk of the town. See the extent to which he has made his addiction to drive him to do. His marriage is called off and relationships destroyed. Seek help.

The wedding plans are already ruined because using a whole lot of $5000 grand to stake in gambling, it means he's a very competitive gambler that's desperate to make money from the system, she should thoroughly go through his phone, he might turned out to be a addictive gambler. Saving up money with your partner and having no concerns of the activities he engaged in during his free time doesn't pull a big concern? She's at fault because it's her major duty to know the in and out of her fiancé, where he goes, what he does for a living, and most importantly, the places he visits to cool off. All these points given are important, tell me if she knew about that, she wouldn't have entrust the man of making joint-saving together.

This is the most recommendable thing to be done on which if he do really just simply put up his relationship on priority or importance then he wont really be that able to make such foolish decision yet we know that there are really other options on which we could really be able to take and not just only via doing gambling. Yes, it might really be taking up some little bit of time comparing to gambling which offers instant but we know the risks involved is never been that something that could really be denied or ignored. Once you do make out those bets then it would really be considered final and result could neither be just a win or lose and if you do lose up that one then it would really be a loss forever and this is something that wont really be just losing fiat money but also you would be losing your loved ones.

For sure that girl would really be that so unsure after this incident or moment on which its impossible that she wont really be making realizations on the things happening in front of her.
Spending up the money which is supposed to be used into your wedding but ended up on being gambled just for the sake of doubling it into fastest way?
You are really just that crazy if you do really ending up with that kind of option but well regrets do always happen in the end.

This is directed to the girl who made the post: I say leave the guy for better or for worse. The thing is that he's either really stupid with money, or he's just addicted to gambling, either way you won't want a partner like that for the rest of your life. Imagine being stupid enough to think that betting on a stupid game all your savings for a very important occasion, I can't and I won't cause I may have been greedy and belligerent in the past, but even I know that there's limits you need to uphold for yourself. These kinds of stuff are non-negotiables for me, you're going to stay with him for a very long time and he's already showing you what kind of person he really is when it comes to money. If you stick with this person you're going to struggle financially even if you make a million a month, trust me. But just imagine spending more than half of the 5 million, what in the actual hell.

If he wasn't willing to put all the wedding burden on her, he should have found another way to make that money grow, through a method which didn't involve gambling with her funds. Maybe he could just have done some extra jobs to raise money to help with the marriage expenses, but he took the easiest path to "double the money" instantly and I think there isn't an excuse for that bad decision. He didn't think on her and on the effort she had to do to contribute with 60% of the couple's savings.

It gives a real worrying sign of what kind of householder he will be, putting the finances of the family in danger with brainless decisions to reach unrealistic goals. Indeed, for her, it might be a good idea to give up this marriage idea... Unless the man shows he has learned with his mistake and repairs all the harm he did to their relationship.

I see a few users mentioning that calling off the wedding is too much, but to be honest, it wouldn't be. This is purely disrespectful to his wife and to them as a couple in general. How could you possibly gamble on all your wedding preparations? Why would someone with the right mind take such a risk, even if it was an attempt to double them? I don't think the husband wanted to lose the money either, nor that he had bad intentions, but this is a pure example of an addiction going too far and not accepting that you're having trouble controlling yourself, because if he did, he wouldn't have proceeded with such a bet.

Even by EU standards, the lost amount of money is still a significant one that cannot be saved on short notice. He's definitely not worth it if he's willing to take such risks. I can't imagine how his wife would have felt, not only for the lost money but because her soon-to-be husband is an addict with no self-control. Hopefully, she dodged a bullet and kicked him out of her life.

That’s really crazy to me. How will a man be so dump to do that kind of thing? Why will you gamble with wedding money that the girl struggles to save? That’s really heartbreaking, and I have pity on the girl, but the man is very annoying. How will you gamble with the money that’s meant for a wedding and you think you will win and increase the money? Gambling doesn't work like that because when gambling, you don’t know if you will be winning or losing. Everyone is always hoping for a win, but I notice loss is always higher than win when gambling. That’s why you have to be careful.
 
From my perspective, I think the man is an addicted gambler, and he wanted to take a risk, maybe he will be lucky, but unfortunately luck was not by his side. The girl wanted to cancel the wedding, which is what I think is the best thing to do. If the girl wants to continue with the money, where are they going to get money for the wedding after a man just wasted the money meant for the wedding?
 
Even if the wedding will be cancelled and maybe shifted to another time, the wife should reconsider it if she will be able to stay with the man after marriage or try to change the man from gambling. If the man is not ready to change, it’s better they don’t even get married because things might end up not going well after the wedding.

This is true as a lesson to take from this story. She doesn't know the would be husband because if she does then she wouldn't have allowed him to have access to the money not to talk of using $5,000 for gambling. It is an addict that is likely to take that as a chance because a new player would be scared of losing but an addict will see it as an opportunity that has been presented to him.

She doesn't know what character he could display and probably he has been hiding his gambling addiction away from her.

People in the gambling world have done some really dumb sh*t and these stories never stop to amuse...and unfortunately in this scenario I know for sure women can do anything for love and am not surprised that this lad used the money for his games, knowing very well that  he gave her a convincing reason to use the funds and will soon be replaced soon and not that he wants to use it for some high risk games and fun... Just hope this couple still made their wedding work with the hurdle at hand.

If people risk their life savings for high risk games then we should prepare for the waste, things like suicides, crime, scammers etc will be on the rise as people will try to survive in the name of gambling addiction pandemic!

With such an arising problem, what have these Casinos and sportsbooks done about this if I may ask because this is a serious issue!!

Well many news flying on social media and everyone wants to hop on the trending news. Right now the news about playing bet, gambling is trending that's the biggest news right now and this is another story wanting to get into the trend, let's assume this is  true but how can your husband he in a financial situation and you people have saved 5 million this is not practical and saving 5 million for a wedding if you have Any financial issue at all is not wise.
Regardless of if it's true or not playing gambling with funds meant for something else is a red flag for me and to me signifies how desperate or addicted the person is. Gambling should not be a do or die affair

That would seem very frustrating and sad even if the roles were switched around for the man instead of the woman.

But I agree that the husband-to-be actions in the story were not something that a regular person would even think of doing. A man like that is not worth marrying because it will end very poorly. He obviously has more than just red flags at this point, the guy himself is one giant walking red flag. He obviously has a gambling addiction so severe that he will make life hell for anyone around him.

But it also kind of sounds like the wife knew about his gambling problems and instead of trying to ween him off it, went along and may have even enabled him. So its hard to say who is at fault here.
