This could be the reason why some gamblers today just prefer playing at online gambling sites.
Avoid violence, sickness, and people who are behaving like animals whenever they lose their money. First of all, he gambled, he knew the risk he had taken before making that bet. The problem is, he ain't a sport that can swallow the reality that he lost. This type of violence does happen in old-school games, especially in bars where there's a billiard table or other in-house sports where two players could place a bet using their skills. I have experienced violence before with just a $2 bet per player in a basketball game 4 against 4 half-court games. I can tell that the opponent is getting physical, too physical to see that they ain't there to play but just to hurt people. We stopped the game before it even ended until someone picked a rock and threw it to one of my teammates and it became so violent that even bottles of soda were thrown at us. Some people just lack sportsmanship in their attitudes.

This idea gave me the impression that some people can be very dangerous as a result of lossing money while gambling And i aslo learnt My lessons today . However, i Dont know If you have actually experienced such things At the betting shops And If yes How do you feel or react At the situation? .
Yes, there are individuals who can't accept losses and become violent when it happens to them. These are people who have a hard time accepting situations where their expectations don't match the reality on their faces. Personally, I have never seen violent fights like you did, but I have already seen people mad on the slot machines because they weren't making any profit along the gambling session. Agressions are extreme cases, but you can see people blaming the house quite often when they lose, also calling it a scam and trying to ruin the reputation of the casino as revenge.

If I saw a fight in front of my eyes, I would leave the environment as faster as possible, before the situation got out of control, I got hurt or the police arrived... In my opinion we should avoid contact with problematic people, otherwise they can get us involved on their troubles.

Things like that are very likely to happen in betting shops - there will be gamblers who turn aggressive when their bets don't go as they expected, and in more serious cases this can even lead to stabbings. This is because many bettors just want to bet without paying attention to their mental condition, they hope too much to win and get money from it, but when it doesn't go according to what they planned they become angry and careless. This is the reason why many people expect security in betting shops, but unfortunately this is not done by shop owners.
If we are fair about it, regular casinos are very secure, since so much money is moving there that their owners do not really have too much of a choice but to secure their casino as best as they can.

However the issue is that anyone can explode abruptly and engage themselves in a sudden act of violence, so if you like to play at regular casinos, you need to keep your eyes open and look for signs that anyone is going through a massive amount of stress when gambling, and if you find a person like that among the crowd then you need to avoid them.

Yea, I have seen several people at brick n mortar (land based) casinos, acting out when they lose all their money. They might hit the Slot machines or they lash out towards the employees (dealers) at the table games.

Luckily casinos employ good security and those violent people are quickly removed from the premises and also banned from coming back. We just have to accept that people are human and not all humans react the same way..  some might get violent and some might just  walk away and deal with it in another way.  Roll Eyes

Stick with online or heavily regulated and secured brick and mortar casinos.  With this much money involved and unfortunately people's livelihoods at stake I don't like being around a volatile situation.  For me gambling is used for entertainment.  Anytime i feel like the situation is risky or unsecured I split.  No fun in looking over your shoulder the whole time.
I am thinking the same here. You're already risking your money once you putted in into your account. Even your own information is at risk. Now if you go to a physical casino real-time, there's also this risk you need to take that concerns your security. Like being with people in the original post. So if you recognize that the casino nearby is not that providing much security and safety, I would suggest that maybe you consider online participation instead.

Personally, I have never experienced acts of violence in gambling, but I have heard that there are people who commit acts of violence in gambling because of trivial factors, namely when he feels he has been cheated in playing and he accuses his friend of committing the fraud, but it doesn't get enough. strong evidence because there were also many other gamblers who were having fun playing. and as time goes by the angry gambler is immediately removed from the casino premises because it might be very annoying and dangerous for other gamblers. and in the end the angry gambler immediately rushed home and the friend who was accused of cheating was still there with his other friends.
Yes, from this we can conclude that we should not accuse someone without strong evidence and holding back emotions is very necessary to use in every gambling game because gambling is a matter of luck and losing or winning is determined by the host.

I haven't experienced such thing in any gambling shop. But I know for sure that such things do happens. There is no body that will find him or herself in that situation that would feel happy. it is very funny how people act in betting shops or casino halls. Due to this reason hss made me to always stay away from betting shops and stay at home when Gambling. My advice to people is that if they are not compatible with gambling outside, they should gamble online at home parhaps that is the reason why online gambling has been put in place to avoid such behaviours from public places.

On point! That's one of the main reason why other gamblers shift to online gambling sites rather than going out in a casino house, maybe because they have experienced such troubles inside a casino house, I mean, who wants to gamble with a messy environment right? our focus will possibly wrecked if we encounter something like that. Same to your advice, people should know their compatability places because other gamblers prefer to visit casino houses with a good and peaceful environment, so If you are a type of gambling who's quick-tempered and easily angry in little things, you should stay at home and do the online gambling for the sake of everyone, we will not adjust for people like that.

I think situations like this happen often when gambling and losers don't accept that they lost money like that, sometimes they are bitter because they think the winner used tricks or tricks. play with them. Not only does it happen in betting shops, but it also happens with friends or family members who play together.

Gambling is only fun for those who are winning, but for those who are losing, the psychology will certainly not be pleasant at all. Just a small impact can arouse their loss of temper, conflicts and clashes will certainly occur.

I have witnessed many arguments and fights when my friends gambled together. At first, they played very happily, but as soon as one person lost a lot and one person won big, the atmosphere began to change. The offensive words began to appear, and the loser's mentality could no longer remain calm. If there is no reconciliation between the players, quarrels will immediately break out. It will be difficult to control the situation and if we are in that situation, we should stop playing for a while to calm down.

And one reason for this is that many gamblers are gambling using money that is not extra. They're using money that's so important for them to lose. They're even using money that is already set aside for certain expenses.
I believed the guy used the money that was meant for another expenses to gamble because he was aggressed and infuriated. What I saw at that point was beyond explanation because at first a noticed a bit closeness between the two gamblers , they were discussing as usual.and sharing ideas while playing their games but suddenly the other one flamed up and it resulted to violence. This actually shows that most gamblers put on fake smiles just to be active in the game while some are very sincere and genuine gamblers .
This is very common, most of those gamblers have come up with some sort of strategy they believe is foolproof and that it will allow to beat the casinos, so instead of being as cautious as we are, they are simply thinking about all the money they believe they will make.

So when this does not happen, it is obvious they are not really going to be on the best of moods, and they will take their anger on anyone that crosses their path, fortunately those people are very easy to identify as they cannot hide those boiling emotions, so just avoid them until they have left the casino and you will be fine.

If someone is at a point of losing all his wealth in gambling and potentially attacking other people then let's admit it, in general he is not very well in his mental state. Not only would such a person need to avoid gambling all together, he would have to avoid stressful activities in general in my view.

Being unwell in ones mental.health has become a very common issue lately. We've entered into a wider mental health crisis after the quarantine and it has never really been addressed. Many people never really returned to their normalcy and it's.driving them crazy in many ways. Of course gambling gets caught in the way very often on such occasions.

One who’ll do harm things to others are certainly not on their proper state of mind. And losses in gambling  is actually one of those factors that will trigger his patience and self-control to harm others, simply because he feels depressed being a loser. I often witness scenarios like this, since it’s actually unavoidable especially if you are gambling in small betting shops.

This is one reason why I usually end up gambling online to avoid the pressures that are visible in physical betting shops. However, if you are gambling in big and reputable casinos, scenarios like this are not tolerated. So if you do harm to others after losing, eventually you will get banned from entering that casino again.

Yes, most of us consider gambling is just for fun and entertainment but after winning some bets, our minds change as well into thinking that we can make more money in here if we keep on gambling. This is the beginning of how our gambling habits ruin our future as we start with good intentions but are indeed up broke and empty. I'd see a lot of people in my place still gambling despite the difficult status of their living and even given priority rather than their basic needs and investments. And I ask them why but their answer will make me think that these people are really desperate that they will think gambling is their best option to make money rather than investing.


This unfortunately happens because most investments yield small profits and only over very long periods, for example investing in a company's shares, it is normal to take more than 5 or 6 months or even 1 year for the share price to rise by 5%. and when people invest $1000 in capital, for example, they buy shares in a company and after 1 year this share rises by 5%, so that person will make a profit of $50 in 1 year. people start to think this way, how long would it take to have enough money to buy a house, a good car or be rich to the point where they don't need to wake up to go to work, because the biggest problem for most people is that they don't like of the job they have, they just wake up and go to work because they have no choice, they need money at the end of the month

That's why when they look at ggambling  and see the possibility of being able to place $1 and hit a 1000x multiplier, they immediately feel attracted, or when they see on TV that someone bought a lottery ticket for $1 and won 5 million dollars and became very rich to the point of saying that she left a job that she didn't like, so these other people who are watching this on TV start to be very active in buying lottery tickets because they also want to win a lot of money and be rich. It is because of this that when people are playing a game that they have bet money on and are losing, they easily get irritated and can fight with everyone who is close to them. I don't particularly hang around people when they're playing

Its way better to play online than go to a gambling centre on place for any reason and either get violent from losing or someone else gets violent and you are the one running for safety.
I'd always prefer online because if one gets to lose,  the only violence one can enact is on their devices or they decide not to eat, but the worse is having to transfer the aggression to someone close by.

Any very aggressive person should learn to avoid any scenario that can trigger a violent response and when money is involved, it is very important to be very clear and upfront so as to avoid getting angry and violent in the end.
Online gambling may be safer in context physical well-being, but it's not necessarily way safer at all. Online gamblers can choose the place and the time to gamble, but constant accessibility can be a deceitful. Losing track of time and money are the main issues in gambling online, while a casino trip has physical limitations. This easy access can make it harder to control impulses when things go intense. In physical casino, cash and environment setting can make the gamblers keep awake to prevent reckless spending.

The emotions while gambling online are less likely to harm others, but frustration can still appear in unhealthy ways like neglecting responsibilities or further isolation. The better option depends on the individual preference and safety. Some gamblers like to be in a controlled environment of a casino to be safe from their own impulsiveness, while others might manage their online gambling responsibly. It's about being aware of the risks and choosing the option that allows for the most responsible gambling behavior.

I don't know if it was the case here but usually people can get violent when they lose while the other guy they've bet against has cheated. Anyway, while most people gamble for fun generally, some others take it very seriously when high amounts of money are involved. I don't know what I would have done if I had been in your place in this situation, but I can imagine how you could have been disturbed. It highlights the potential dangers of gambling addiction and how it can escalate into conflicts with other people, and even close friends, sometimes. At least it's a serious reminder of the importance of gambling responsibly and knowing our own limits.

This is the safest thing to do, though there’s still a lot of illegal gambling activities and I think this is where violent can occur anytime especially if you know you are betting with someone and not just with the house itself. I will never play on any illegal gambling because of the risk of losing more and yeah because of security concern, if you want peace of mind about your security better to play online with the good site.

You are right, there are casinos that have very high Standards , some do not, others are for everyone and therein lies the danger, when we look for a way to do things better we have to see how we can see what we are getting into, if we are going to In a normal casino there are Certain Dangers , and that is what should be Avoided, the casinos that are more Reliable because they have high security, so in some cases Being in physical casinos will always lead us to think that we should go to the Casinos that offer the most Sure , there are more ways to Minimize the risks, and to ensure that there is no violence, but in the casinos that are more expensive, if there is a minimum of discussion or violence, the security people come in at once to calm things down, and This is worth it , so Sometimes cheap is Expensive, sometimes people go to Average quality casinos to save more , but they lose the same and run more dangers, it doesn't cost much to pay a little more but they guarantee security.

Remember that gambling involves money; and money has been the root of all evil since time immemorial. When it comes to conflicts where people would lose money in the process, there happens to be a height of emotions that can be felt that is responsible on why people become violent when they lose a bet.

Fortunately, I have not experienced any violence when I entered into dozens of physical casinos and participated in home-casinos arranged by my friends and peers. I guess we just thought that resorting to violence would be a waste of time given that it will NOT change what they have lost in the process.

I do agree with what you stated.

Generally, big and established casinos have securities around the area to control the environment just in case violence starts.

Though this may be the case, there was a famous case that happened last 2017 in the Philippines where one of the big casinos have been attacked by a single gunner. He set fire on the casino tables and it created smoke that killed 36 people in the process.1
