Topic: How do you feel when you experience violence while gambling - page 12. (Read 3048 times)

That's one of the advantage that the online gambling shops have over the physical shops and one of them is the serenity to gamble at your own convenience in your bed room without the stress of anyone getting to bother you. I have seen some nasty experiences play out from the gaming house due to some misunderstanding but everytime the reason why people get all upset and angry is maybe due to the fact that they are all losing and emotions flare up.

As much as I want to describe that as "passion". When there's violence involve, it is no longer cool. 

So, that's true about those violent folks that when they have witnessed their team losing the match, how much more they can do when their bets have also lose.

Maybe when I was younger, I did that with my friends but we're not violent at all and it's just like a friendly poking to each other and with some teasing on side.

I can't imagine that one can beat the other because of losing. They can't control their temper if they're like that and much better not to bet in physical betting shops or against their friends because they'd surely be pointed by their frenzy if results didn't favored them.

Here in Brazil, some people "lose their minds" even in football stadiums when their favorite team loses a game, so I don't even want to imagine these people losing real money in a casino.

However, unauthorized bets on pool games or even friendly football matches between friends are common, and arguments and fights also often occur.

I have witnessed some situations of this type, but I am an extremely calm person, so I have never gotten into a fight over games, and I also avoid betting against other people as much as possible. The most I bet is a beer or something like that, but I have never bet money.

I prefer to bet money only on online games, in the security and pseudo-anonymity of a computer.

I actually don't really understand such conditions because in my area or in my country offline gambling is almost non-existent so it is definitely difficult to feel such an atmosphere. But when in a card game for example even when there is no bet there is always a friction that occurs with the same partner playing so by looking at things like this surely for games with money the tension is even greater and friction will be inevitable.
By looking at things like that, it would indeed be better if we avoid such things a little because the function of gambling in the end we also just want to have fun not looking for problems so why add to the burden of life with problems that shouldn't need to happen.

But on the other hand, I came to think that one of the advantages of playing on the site or online gambling is that in the end there are better functions and benefits because we can also avoid friction like this and in my opinion it is one of the good enough advantages.

The conflation of gambling with alcohol is a common avenue for individuals to stifle guilt or the pangs of loss-induced pain. Alcohol serves as an ephemeral refuge from harsh truths, when amalgamated with gambling, this concoction proves exceedingly perilous.

I have seen individuals drink alcohol before or after a big loss. The intention behind the act is to drown their sorrows and forget the pain. But this only serves to exacerbate the situation, playing inebriated is never a wise choice. Gambling demands focus and mental clarity; one needs to be sharp to steer through decisions effectively. With alcohol clouding rational judgment, losses could further spiral out of control, creating more harm than good.

Violence and other  misunderstandings are two of the major reasons why some gamblers prefer to place bets on online casinos Rather than offline casinos . Sometimes local duel casinos can involve some level of violence which not everyone can either tolerate or handle . However for some very nice offline casinos there are hardly any violence. They try as much as possible to dissolve misunderstandings that could possibly arise as they gamble .
Personally I think the personalities of the different gamblers present in the casino also can contribute to their behavior which can be used to probably predict if any violence will occur. I think gamblers are getting more mature and organized overtime thus reducing the occurrence of any violent activity.

So you don’t really know. Most people gambling now are doing it just because they depend on it for survival. If there are any rules today that people will no longer be allowed to withdraw their money, then I will say the number of people gambling will drop drastically, only few people will be gambling just for fun. In my community, youth are now taking gambling as a source of income since they are unemployed and they don’t have any means to make money, so they completely depend on gambling for survival. That’s why most of them are just addicted to gambling.


You are going to get annoyed when you are supposed to be making money, but you notice that you are losing money, and if you don’t win, maybe you won’t have anything to eat for that day or you won’t have money to gamble the following day. People who gamble for fun will never be aggressive, even when they are losing, they will just laugh and leave whenever they are done gambling.

It is really worrisome how some people mix gambling with alcohol simply because they want to suppress any feeling of guilt or pain that can come as a result of losses. I have seen a couple of people getting drunk before gambling or after losing thinking that is the way of not getting the outcome get to them. This does not always help because gambling requires clear mind and complete concentration to be able to make right decisions. Violent in gambling is mostly in physical shops though, at least the few I have seen but there are high chances of a gambler turning violent even at home especially when there is alcohol to trigger the action.

Haha, I am moved to ask you if you are from Nigeria? Because personally, I've always felt that Nigeria is the only country where the police will raid a place, and arrest everyone and anyone they find there, and at the end of the money, they will request money from bail from everyone that was arrested, such things as things is very common on Nigeria, and being a Nigerian myself, I would be lying if I say I have never experienced such, only thing different in my case was that, I was not the one arrested, but a very close friend of mine.

And speaking of gambling being some persons source of livelihood, it's very possible, alot of people actually do depend on money they make off gambling; as a means of livelihood, and they anytime they lose their money way above what they had expected to lose if luck wasn't on their side, they get really agree, and this leads to them becoming even violent.

Gambling to have fun and gambling for profit are both very OK, but then, gamblers must learn to balance the two, and also understand the rules of gambling, this can help the gambler not to get overly agree over a loss.

At the moment i have seen someone whose under the influence of alcohol or someone whose really that drunk then i do make myself that being observant on which there would really be always that high possibility that there would really be some possible trouble on which this could really be only happening on physical places and not online ones on which its common sense.

The moment that you are really that under the influence of alcohol then those emotions of yours arent really something that could really be able to control. For ones who do have dealing up with gambling and been that losing too much then of course it would really be creating that kind of commotion on which this is highly probable into those offline casinos.
But well it would really be impossible that there would be no securities out there into the vicinity. So this might not really that much of an issue but the probabilities for it to happen
is always there.

The worst thing is when gambling is mixed with alcohol users, they are very sensitive and will act violently towards other owners when they don't accept their gambling losses, this is what I don't like about physical casinos because of actions that harm other gamblers. Physical casino services should be enhanced by providing security guarantees to other gamblers, so they should forcefully kick out drunk gamblers
 carry out violence without any consideration.

no one wants to lose money, but losing money by gambling becomes even more painful when we see our money disappear or move into other people's hands in just a very short time.
all old gamblers must have experienced this incident (or just seen it) when a gambler fights just because he doesn't want to lose money or lose a bet with his friend and to this day there are still many cases of violence like this which can harm themselves which must be pay a fine to be released from the police.
I used to often see incidents like this, it wasn't just one or two people who committed violence, but several people fought each other just because they were defending their friends and it was very ridiculous to see gamblers who considered gambling as a daily income which had to end in fights that made their own losses.
when things like this happen, usually I would prefer to stop my gambling and leave the place and I choose to leave because I really don't like noise and on the one hand, a commotion like this can definitely invite the police which will make our name bad.

from incidents like this, there are several wise messages that I always say, that never gamble if you don't want to lose and if you want to gamble, use 1$ to entertain yourself without having to lose more money.

Sometimes you can't avoid violence. Some people are like that, especially when they get drunk and the only thing you can do is learn how to deal with it. Don't think you can avoid it. You either go out and face it, or you stay at home cuddling your teddy bear and talking to people using your phone and computer.
You mix money, adrenaline and alcohol and you'll get a bomb, so better learn how to fight or run fast

This isn't a new thing to the gambling ecosystem as it happens more frequently in undeveloped areas and mostly, in casino houses. A gambler can become very violent as a result of losing too much; I've seen instances where they'd hit the display screen violently until trips off.. what you gonna do with an egoist like that? Get him some jail time ofcourse!

Many other times, it happens out of some unnecessary arguments...like tryna find some validations on their desired teams to score/ secure a win.. if anyone should argue otherwise, they'd make an open challenge that often results in a big fight.

You don't need to get involved with such because if by chance you have stumbled upon one. You're just dragging yourself with a big problem and who knows if these people that are involved with violence and rioting will just randomly include you and make up a story so that they will also drag people to their craziness. This happens and if they do that to you, you're going to spend time, a lot of time for the investigation when they pulled up to the incident.

You are there to gamble and you are not there to get involved yourself with such a ruckus. That's why if you can avoid it, just avoid it at all costs so that you are not going to cause any problems for yourself or anybody. You don't want to waste your time with such if you know how to value your time and the goal of why you are there. I know people might say that if it's about you and they're trying to poke you and also hurted you, it's your call whether you'll take revenge or endure it and get out of the premises so it won't cause any matter and trouble.

Those who lose on the bets they play will of course most likely do anything that can have a bad impact on them and other people, but those who win on the bets they play will certainly do as you said above and it will be better for us we can gamble according to our abilities and also not do anything detrimental to ourselves if we lose on the bets we play.
When a gambler can control themselves over the bets they play, of course they will not care about what they get from the gambling they play, whether it is wins or losses.

I believe, a bouncer is also what they call it like in a bar. But most local betting shops don't hire one as violence is not very common. That is true, if there is a commotion, better not go there, instead go away or run for help. Go to police station if the incident gets worse. You can't do anything much if you are just a spectator. Authorities can at least stop the situation from getting worst.

People gambling to survive so when people says that they gamble for fun and not for the money well it is possible because those who have have money can play for fun but not for the Hustlers. Some gamblers left their houses early morning to the games hall to play so that they could win some amount of money to spend in the day. But a long the line if they lose then they would rest and if they win then they will carry out their aims of the day.

And in that process violate happens in the center and in must time it is for those who lose use transgression of anger to those who win then fight.

I think that there is some other terms per local depending on where you are with those people that are actually earning in betting shops. Maybe, a spotter? a runner? or whatever they call it. That's why when someone approaches you and you're in that area, you have to be careful with almost everyone that you are going to talk there. You'll never know if how much they have already lost and that has affected them mentally. So, if you're just a casual gambler and you always bring exact amount for your gambling fund or bankroll, you should be fine.

And when you see that yourself is not comfortable with those people. All you have to do is to stay away from any of them. Don't start something that you're not going to like and as well as others that won't be liked too. I've experienced this a lot of times when I was younger but I don't counter any of them, I just ran away when there's someone who startled a rumble because he is almost out and have been gambling for hours. I'm glad that I was able to witness that glory days of physical gambling, it's a mini physical actual casino version but more of a neighborhood type. It's not a dangerous neighborhood but whoever is losing and someone pokes fun on him, he surely is going to get mad on it. That's why don't joke to someone who's been beaten up and have been on a losing streak.

A gambler with such behavior is probably experiencing a loss resulting to changes in his mood. We know if a gambler win, the mood is happy. While if you lose that's depressing especially if you are a type of gambler who can't accept losses.

This can also cause a trouble or a misunderstanding since a gambler who lost his money is already in bad shape and can trigger for him to start a fight. But this is still depends on the gambler itself on how he handle himself despite of the bad experience in gambling.
