Topic: How do you feel when you experience violence while gambling - page 11. (Read 3066 times)

Its useless to fight back with stressed people because their minds are closed, one should understand that since it’s not easy to lose all your hard-earned money into gambling. It’s still better to just run away, and avoid fighting back because that will never make you a winner anyway.

Furthermore, once you’re into gambling, you should know that the casino house always wins, and put the player at a loss. If you can’t accept that fact, it’s better not to enter gambling in the first place.

True, because after all gambling is an activity that should be used as an entertainment activity which is not to find trouble or find enemies at one table but to find pleasure when we are having boring free time, as you said that we are not children anymore, meaning we should have an adult mindset in responding to and overcoming various problems.

Honestly I do not understand the mindset of people like that, and maybe I will do the same thing as you, if there is an indication that could cause a commotion then I would prefer to avoid it, not a matter of cowardice, but prevention is always much better, especially if the scenario of the commotion is caused by defeat, that is an immature mindset, but if the problem is about something else that is much more serious then of course I would prefer to solve it but that does not mean it has to be violent.

Gambling is not stressful for only the poor, even the rich can be frustrated if they lose. People's reaction to gambling is based on individual differences and the worth of the loss. Some people shouldn't gamble because they don't have patience and self-control. Such individuals fail to grasp that gambling is a game of luck. A high earner who gambles based on his earnings and doesn't chase loss might not overreact if he loses. This is because he gambled with the amount he could afford to lose. But a very rich man who gambles more than his ability might lose his temper due to this loss. So I think that people's reaction is not determined by their financial strength but their ability to effectively manage their gambling activities.

I don't need to fight because I gamble with an insignificant part of my income. Even if you cheap me in the game and you want to be violent, I will simply work away. This is why I prefer to gamble online instead of having interaction with some people who are not well-mannered.

I don't have to fight nor I interested to fight with someone, so if I get harassed by someone, I will run away and avoid to fight. I'm trying to make good relationship and get fun in gambling, instead of receive scars and enemy, we're not kids anymore.

If I wanted to fight and making noise, it means the purpose I gamble on offline casino isn't for gambling, but the purpose is to hurt people and destroy the casino's facility.

If you gambling because of wants to make money, you will found yourself stress and asks many times when you can win the money. That will makes you gambling more often without you think about the effect that you will gets from gambling. When you see your friend wins from you and that is a lot of money, your emotion will be high and you can lose your control. You can angry and fight with your friend because you can not accept your lose and that will effect to your relationship with your friends.

Besides that, you must in charge with the chaos you makes in the casino and that can make you in jail because you are fight with other people. That will gives you a big problem and confuse how to fix and solve the problem. Many things will be damage and not just in the casino but also your friendship with your friends.

If we are not ready for defeat, then what will arise when we lose is irregular emotions and that's where the chaos will begin because of our inability to control our emotions. At the beginning I can say this is wrong, because by not being ready but we force ourselves to gamble, then it is the same as provoking our emotions.
If we no longer have money to bet, then we will do things that we shouldn't do, but if we still have money to bet, then believe me we will spend the money because emotions drive us, in the hope that we can return the defeat that was felt before.
Not to mention if in an offline casino like that, it is not uncommon for people to play under the influence of alcohol which will make it even more dangerous. Because besides being emotional, we will also lose self-awareness because of the effects of the alcohol consumed.

Do you truly believe all this stuff you just wrote?  This is just not true in any first world country and probably most second world nations as well.  I know that there are plenty of third world countries that have just the rich and the poor but of course you mentioned the middle class so I'll assume we are leaving those nations out.  SMART people gamble just for fun and on a very tight gambling budget. 

You also confuse opportunity and ignorance imo.  I've said many times here before but the 95% of people I see playing scratch off's here in the United States are the poor/lower class.  They are poor and stay that way for doing ignorant things like playing scratch offs.  Scratch offs are a lot of fun and make great christmas stocking stuffers and what not, but that's all they should be.  Opportunity should not be confused with legitimately investing. 

Gambling is really stressful if you are not rich. Only the rich can afford to lose in gambling. For middle-class people, gambling is like an opportunity to earn some extra cash. Hence, in this type of situation, getting angry is normal. But yes, we need to understand the situation and control our anger. People with short tempers shouldn’t be allowed to gamble. Not only will they create chaos, but they will also affect the other gamblers. Hence, most of the time I avoid going to physical casinos.

I've not experienced gambling in such an ugly environment, but in my understanding of a similar situation, many things could resort to this to the point that the police are involved. I believe that the place is not a standard gambling site because, I've witnessed people betting on snooker and other games without being authorised by the government, so anything can happen in this informal arrangement as no law binds anyone but a verbal one.

This is more reason why police could arrest them because if the operators operate legally and do not cheat the gamblers, police do not have the right to arrest them not to mention asking for a bail. To avoid issues like that, it's good we go to the right places to gamble. You should also be thankful that it's not worse than that, some people could be strong headed to the point that they could call some thugs to come and cause mayhem in that place. Who knows who could be the victim at that time?

Everyone has their motive of gambling so one man gambling motive is different from the other. So if someone says he gamble for fun then that is how it is. But we have to know that gambling fun moves with winning excitement. Like as others have said the only casino that I can have fun is snooker game. One can have fun in that game.

Here in my country I have been suffering from the noise my neighbors make, because there is a restaurant very close to my house and unfortunately for me, there is a snooker table in this restaurant. Every day the guys play and then start fighting because it seems the loser gets angry with the insults the winners throw at him. The saddest thing about all this is the fact that before they start playing, they are all friends, they talk very loudly, laugh, shout as if the whole neighborhood was theirs.

And when they start playing, they start insulting each other and fighting. Every day I wonder why the hell they continue with this behavior. I can't understand why they keep fighting, and the game of snooker will always have a winner and a loser, so it doesn't make sense for them to get upset over a game.

I started to suspect that the guys, in addition to drinking a lot of alcohol when they are playing, are probably taking drugs. Their behavior is not normal. The distance from where they are making noise is 10 meters from my house, but the noise they make seems like they are inside my house, it is an unbearable noise.

There are people who should not get involved in gambling, cases like these:



show how some people get angry quickly when they lose, this happens every day here in my neighborhood

I think the approach you have towards gambling can be a good idea to avoid the occurrence of disputes between gamblers just because one of them is not as lucky as the other, which is by preferring to gamble at online casinos rather than physical casinos, we cannot forget the fact that online casinos can be a better alternative to continue to fulfill our desires related to gambling habits because there are indeed quite a lot of benefits in it which are in accordance with our needs.

Another thing in my opinion is that the dispute occurred because the losing party did not have good responsibility as a gambler, in the sense that it could be said to be a loser because he could not accept the fact of defeat even though it was clear that it would always be part of the game, meaning that if a gambler understood the opportunities and realized the risks then I think the incident should not have happened.

We do know that human beings does have different traits and behaviors on which it would really be that something that there are ones who are short tempered and there are ones who are really that cool headed on the things that they are really that dealing on with. We do know that on physical places on which players would really be having that face to face then it could really be creating that kind of trouble on the moment or time
that there would really be that sudden burst of emotions specially on the time that they are really that losing that much. There would really be those individuals who wouldnt really care whether they could damage out something or put someone in harm on the actions that they are taking. Its understandable to be that frustrated but hurting up someone then its not that good anymore.

So if you are someone who doesnt really like to experience these kind of trouble then it would really be just that ideal that you wont really be going into these places on which it would really be normal
because there are people who doesnt really like to deal up with those kind of potential trouble on which its just a normal approach. Somehow, chances or odds of these things to happen is really just that less but if you are really that paranoid about these possible trouble then it would really be your preference whether playing online or physical places.

I'm not surprised that a game of snooker that the players placed bets on can result to violence. Unlike most physical casino games that you play solo and betting in shops where the players are not present, snooker games requires the two players seeing themselves face to face. Therefore if one of them has anger issues and is loosing, he can take the frustration out on the winning opponent. Any gambling that requires the opponents to play the games physically has the chances of turning violent, like dice and card games, unless they are cool headed and respectable opponents. If you're in a place and violence erupts, the best thing is to exit the place, unless it's a slight argument that you can mediate.

Yeah right, this is common specifically to a gambling games that involves person to person match such as snooker and billiards which is popular in my country with high stakes involved that usually turns out to violence because it’s the easiest way out to recover losses by not honoring the bet.

Playing online is the best if you really want a peaceful life but your only problem is the house edge was too high compared to P2P matches gambling games that usually just a 50/50 chance or more depending on the skill of the person you are betting with.

That's usually happens to those who playing gambling with their friends. Losing some money can be a bad problem to the gambler who lose their money. They will thinks that the opponent cheats them and can't accepts their losses. If you are in that situation, it is better you controls your emotion and not trying to make a fire because that can makes you in a problem.

Online gambling will not gives you that experiences because you can playing gambling by alone or with other people far from you. You will not see who they are and you can enjoy your spare time by playing gambling. But if you really wants to feels a real experience of playing gambling with other people, you can asks your friends to join you and playing gambling together. But you must knows that is only for fun and not any intention.

The situation that the OP described shows how furious a person can become after losing. I wouldn't be surprised even if these were friends who had been friends for about 10 years and nothing like this had ever happened, but this situation showed internal grievances or moral childhood trauma, because human psychology is very complex and multifaceted.

I also play various games with old friends, but not for money, because for me this is something I will never do, because I am interested in the game itself, be it table tennis or billiards and poker just like that. In one game, my friend beats me all the time, and I beat him in another, and I have never experienced any kind of bid. Probably the player from this story simply does not know how to lose and the loss began to destroy him, he could not perceive it and everything burst out.

Gambling with someone is like living in the hood, something bad could happen, so you need to prepare about it. If it's possible, you can carry gun or knife in order to win the fight.

Online gambling can prevent from anything ban happen to you, but you can get many friends in you gamble in land based casino. For better security, the more expensive and luxury land based casino is safer than the cheaper or illegal ones. Because the luxury land based casino have higher barrier to entry.

This is very funny because it's something that happens everytime among gamblers, we all know the emotions that comes with losing a bet, this is why I don't gamble on a game with people, I would rather stick to playing online, winning a person too much can cause an emotional outburst if not properly controlled by the individual that's losing, he might even think that his opponent is cheating... however gamblers choose to gamble I think it's best we don't go beyond our limit

Yes, of course, because in online gambling, every user will get comfort and security from number of problems that involve direct or physical contact, apart from that, the only problem that really exists is between us and the gambling site if we make mistake.
But basically, going to land-based casino cannot be denied, it can provide quite a satisfying feeling of pleasure, especially if can meet lots of friends there, but now land-based casinos are starting to be visited less often and most of the gamblers are moving into online gambling.
If we talk about problems and disputes that occur in land-based casinos or betting shops, there are indeed a lot of them and what worse, some incidents have had fatal consequences because they are related to physical health.
However, the existence of online gambling has changed everything, even for new gamblers, they don't need to worry about things like this happening, they can play as they like without having to be afraid of bad things happening between one gambler and another.
