pre care and main care are important because if it done right the gambler wont become addicted again but if they are not sure of the pre care and main care that they do thats the time they need to conduct a after care .
all types of addiction is seriously dangerous and should be treated imediately by the help of a parent , relative and friends of the addicted person if they cant be able to surrender themselves in the rehabilation centers .

I think that the three timelines that I have set should have equal importance because a lot of people forgot about the after care where the user is the most vulnerable since these are the parts where they are cold turkey.

Only £20k? These are rookie numbers. There are lots of people who lose a lot more than this daily. As far as I am concerned, if they can wager these amounts, it means they are wealthy af so it won't affect their life in any meaningful way. If he lost his retirement funds however now that's just retarded and he needs professional help.

It's a matter of perspective, for me 20k pounds is a lot of money if converted to my local currency. That's invalidation if you don't know about that. Also, this is just a one night spree so I think that would still qualify as a lot of money, I do agree anyone who does happen to be in that situation, I think that they will need help and a family intervention.

Just because you made $100 out of $10 one should not feel happy and stay positive. In all aspects of life we need to have positive mind. With gambling this needs to be different. I'm an example for the same. Just because I made $500 out of $200 I had a big dream. This has finally made me loss around $20000 in less than three months.

That's how it works in gambling. In the beginning, you may win small amounts and your confidence level will hit the roof. And then the losses start to roll in. You refuse to admit that you are getting unlucky with the games and then start chasing after the losses. And it reaches a point where you will suffer from irreversible losses. Experienced gamblers know how to avoid this situation. It is mostly first timers who get trapped in the never ending cycle of losses. But in the end, the individual is responsible for his actions.

It was crazy and anyone could possibly ended up like this if we can't control such addiction. But this mostly happens to rich people, as this person knows that he still have money on his pocket, on his bank account, that he never thinks about stopping.
It is that need for us to have some limitation, otherwise, we all have ended up like him. yet, it was very challenging part especially when we are caught by addiction.

I think it's not about the amount but we can all learn from his mistakes, as gamblers you should always consider the worst effects and not just consider and dream about the good impact or profit that will be obtained.

The amount is still huge and that's why it matters but you're correct that the effects of our actions when we gamble should be considered. The effects vary and probably the impact of it depends also on the amount that we lose. And if we're just like OP and we've lost that in an instant within a single night, I know what I'll be feeling by that time. That would be a nightmare to me that I won't forget. Maybe if the time that I get old, I'll remember it and would just make fun of it but while the days are still near to that exact event which I've lost that amount, it would put me most of the time in bad setting and mood.

Indeed. But this gambler, as any other who also has lost big, have no other option than recovering the gone money through healthy methods like working and investing. For a first world country's citizen like him I think it must not be so hard to earn 20,000 euros in a year or so. I just hope he has learned an important lesson with this loss and that he overcome his addiction with the help of his family members who already know about the situation.

After becoming addicted to online casino games in March last year, he lost £40,000 in the space of a month, losing half of that in just one night.

After losing that money too, he found himself in massive debt, and contemplated taking his own life.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-lost-20000-one-night-24067466

I don't know why they are caught up in this moment but I think people know the risks yet they still try. Was it appropriate for him to call the gambling firm wrong or he was right? (See the last part of the article or better read the 3 mins. article instead)

He started it in the wrong way, when he first the game, maybe he had a good run of winning and thought that he has luck in gambling until the losing streak caught him and he plays within his means and when he is losing he cannot accept that and he still thinks that he has a chance to get back until he loses a lot of fo money and it's too late for him to realize this, this is very unfortunate we only realize our mistakes late and after the harm is done, gamblers like this need all the help that he can get.

Outcomes would really vary on what are the things you had done earlier and if you do decide to go into the rough path then you would need to face it.We know on how it sucks when it comes

to financial hardship or being poor because you had just spent and lost all the money you do had because of gambling.When it comes to potential loss then this would be limitless.

Gambling would really sip out every penny you do have if you do have that kind of intent in mind on getting rich because of gambling which is really a very wrong mindset.

Because if the gambler has a consideration about the bad effects, then of course the gambler will be more responsible, not in a negative way such as suicide or anything after the bad impact is actually experienced at the end.

You have a point but the media loves sob stories as that brings more ratings than success stories, then politicians see this and they see a perfect opportunity for them to appear to do their jobs, they do not understand that the best policy in those cases is to do nothing, anyone that uses their common sense can see that the gambler was at fault, the casino offered a very small bonus and then the person goes crazy and losses al his savings and even money he never had, it is obvious the gambler was at fault but he wants to shift the responsibility back to the casino.

Denial is common because no gambler would really be admitting about into their mistakes that had been done but rather giving out the blame to the casino on where he do play on.

This doesnt only limit out on that particular man but almost gamblers does have this kind of problem.It can be differentiated depending on the sereneness of the consequences that they had experienced.

This is the result when you do let yourself being greedy and doesnt mind off about your finances.You would surely be fucking up yourself in the end.

Which is a shame because if people do not recognize their own mistakes then they are bound to repeat them, the casinos are not at fault for what addicted gamblers do, they are just offering a service and it is up to each person to decide how much they want to use that service and how much money are they willing to risk, this person should have stopped gambling the moment he lost a significant amount of money but then he got mad and wanted to recover the money he lost and this is what caused his massive losses.

Awareness or being sensible towards your actions and mindful about possible effects then you would really get rid of that since you are fully aware on what you are doing.
If you do let yourself to go along with your addiction then expect on these kind of consequences on where you would really suffer out in terms of finances and
of course your relationship into your family or loved one would also be affected too.Always managed your finances well even if you're rich because
gambling can easily fucked up and changed your life into a poor ones.

im currently keep watching xposed or many gambler in twitch . they doing slot bonus buys $10k and its not for 1 night games but its under 1 minutes games which even crazier if you think about it. gambling become extreme and the fact is some people are really making money with gambling .

I saw one of those recent videos by xposed, it's crazy. The way he plays it's possible to lose tens of thousands within minutes. I don't know who gave him the money to play(once I saw his balance and it was almost $300k), but I doubt such a young man could earn that much so that he could be putting $300k at risk. In the video I watched he first lost $40k and then won $52k, but don't repeat it at home, guys, seriously, don't think slots can help you to easily earn $12k.

I'm not a fan of people being denied opportunities and options in life like fantasy sports which could make them money.

Media does that always for their channel's ratings to increase because they know that the stories of winning gamblers will not bring the sort of exposure that they can get through negative stories of losing gamblers as world has been in such form today that one person wants other person's annihilation in any way. However, good for that gambler who is trying to recover out of his gambling addiction.

There are many legitimate stories about gamblers winning millions on fantasy sports platforms like draft kings or fanduel.

There are documented stories of gamblers winning more than $100,000 gambling on sports.

For some strange reason, the overwhelming majority of the media appears to contain a bias where they only cover the negative stories where people lose.

My US state illegalized fantasy sports like fanduel and draft kings which technically are games of skill rather than gambling. I think the political angle isn't justified.

The one thing I hate is he blames the gambling firm for letting him lose a huge amount, I don't know about the gambling site but some gambling sites I'm betting there's a warning sign that pop up or a reminder that I am betting a big amount, but even without those pop up he can do better to know that you should only play what he can afford to lose, obviously he is not prepared to what is coming, so he blame the gambling site.

This is common reaction of people who's out of control they blame anyone for their lose but I don't think theirs someone will believe him since its so crazy to see why he choose to be addicted on the game. Also for what I notice on gambling scene most people who got addicted are first timer or those people who win big amount in quick scheme.

Someone who wins a big lottery or something like that, you are right. I was reading a story of a lottery winner and the guy told that after he won that big amount, it was something like $250k or something. He then started having a lavish lifestyle but the worst thing was that he kept buying lottery tickets and he went bankrupt after a year or so.

It is similar to how often we hit some big wins on slots but then we throw back everything slowly on the same slot. It has happened to me also when I was playing Money Train back in the days and I managed to land free spins and proceeded to win big but then I was just addicted and lost everything I won plus some of my own funds back in the game.
