Topic: Never borrow money to be able to gamble - page 4. (Read 2701 times)

I have already given here an example: you are in a company with friends in a casino, and one of them run out of money. What will you do? Let him stand and watch you having fun or gambling? Or lend him money for gambling. Which is, by posts here, a red flag, because person will use money for gambling and already is in a loss.

Nobody has answered it, but this is rather tricky situation. Borrowing money for gambling vs helping a friend. You can either make his life even worse, or feel uncomfortable for not helping.

That's a mistake when you taking a loan for playing gambling. You must not use loan money to playing gambling because there's no guarantees for you to win the games. If you use your own money, you don't have to repay the loan to anyone and you don't  have to feels anything except regrets your lose.

If you take a loan, that must for your daily lives that you need because you are in the urgent situations and you really need that money to survive. That's the reason you take a loan and not just use that money for playing gambling. If you can avoids that, you will not have any problem with other people and you don't have to search for other loan every time you playing gambling. You must makes sure you can lives without gambling because there's many things you can do to enjoy your spare time without playing gambling.

Yeah being a gambling addict is bad and can lead to all such of negative effects to ones lives, but honestly his wife went to far with the burning alive stuff . She knew right from time that her husband was an addict she would have atleast find away to help him fight against that gambling urge . Because money is something we can get back just by hard working and working smart, but lives is not something that one can get back once a person lives his taken the person is gone forever. So both where actually wrong expecially his wife's see went too far with her action.

Indeed, when someone is addicted, it will be difficult to get out of it, and indirectly, of course, bad impacts will follow within a certain period of time which can endanger themselves and even endanger their own family.
I think I know the news you read, friend, but if you think about it, it's also the husband's fault for the gambling he did because he spent his own money, even his wife's money, because if it's like that and it's not stopped, of course the husband will also be even more brave to do it. doing things that are not appropriate, such as stealing or other things that harm other people, in relation to his wife, in my opinion, maybe he did this because he had lost his patience so he did this very surprising action.
I don't know whether to blame the wife or the husband, but what is clear is that it was the husband who had the starting point of the problem. If he could control himself by not gambling excessively, maybe everything would be fine, but unfortunately he dared to take actions that were detrimental to himself and others. This is a story that should be a lesson for us in the future not to gamble excessively, because the impact will involve other people like this case.

Therefore, every user must prepare themselves mentally before entering the world of gambling because gambling is full of risks and if they cannot control themselves they will become irresponsible gamblers and do reckless things such as borrowing money to gamble and hoping for the loan money they can multiply and win a certain amount of money with the borrowed money, but in fact gambling using borrowed money is a very risky action because they can lose the money even though the money must be immediately returned to the owner because it is not their own money.

Yes, it is true that gamblers should never think about gambling with borrowed money because it can destroy them and they become uneasy if they use the money because their ambition is to make a profit from the borrowed money and if they don't make anything they will actually be even more stressed because they will think hard about returning the money while they no longer have money to return because the money has been used entirely for gambling and this can also trigger evil acts such as stealing if they have no way to return the borrowed money.

Agree. Addiction is something very dangerous and can even kill you or your family. I just read the news in my country that a husband was burned alive by his wife because her husband was addicted to gambling, not only spending his own money but also his wife's money. This made his wife angry and unable to control herself, so she burned her husband to death. This is a true story, gambling addiction is not a trivial matter, especially if you are married. That's right, as you said, this starts from greed which leads to addiction and greed does not recognize poor and rich or smart and stupid. Those who cannot control themselves when gambling will not be able to avoid the greed that is addictive.

Addiction can be saved as long as someone reminds and provides full support to those who are addicted, so don't be hostile or isolated. I also sometimes suggest that friends who gamble should be open and share stories with each other, don't keep it to themselves because gambling requires friends so that someone will monitor them if they are too ambitious when gambling.

Gambling should always be for fun, because the odds you'll ever walk away with a sizable win from a casino are tiny - probably worse than your odds of winning the lottery. At least with the lottery you are paying small and fixed amounts for a big reward. The only real reason you should be borrowing money in life is to get a mortgage, if this is an option to you. The interest you'll pay on these loans also adds extra salt in the wound because you'll probably be paying much higher than regular borrowers. Most loans also prohibit spending the money on gambling, so chances are you will be committing fraudulent and deceptive behavior when applying for it.

One should not borrow money to gamble, gamble is a thing that one should do with his own personal money and the money a gambler should use to gamble is an amount that he can afford to lose. When a gambler borrows money to gamble and when he lose there will be no way to repay the loans because he has lost all the money. If borrows money it means that the person doesn't have any money with him, so when the person gambles with the money he borrowed it will be very much difficult to pay back like I said earlier. When we have the money to gamble we should do it and when we lose we should not chase our losses, no matter how big or how small we lose.

Gambling isnt bad but at the moment that you are already that borrowing funds or money just for you to gamble then this is a solid indicative sign that you are really that going into the path on gambling addiction.
We do know that once you've been shackled out with gambling addiction then it would really be that hard for you to get out.Im not saying that all would be getting addicted but huge percentage would really be definitely on such condition. This is the main reason on why gambling industry is really that profitable or revenue generating because there are tons of people who are really that dealing with it because of that money making opportunity. We do know that borrowing money should be avoided as much as possible but rather you should really be that completely stopping at the moment that your bankroll on that time had already depleted.

The main issue on why people do mess up their lives it is really just that because you had made out yourself having that kind of delusional approach towards gambling specially on thinking up on being rich.
This is why at the moment that they have lost the money they do have and still do wants to continue on playing just to pursue out that kind of target then you wouldnt really be that stopping so easily.
This is why on personal approach and views, then you should really just that know on how to control yourself because having that moderation would really be that always recommended.

I just don't know what some people think before taking a loan. If you are taking a loan, then it should be for something reasonable and not for gambling. We know gambling is supposed to be for fun, then I don’t know why you have to be in debt just because you want to have fun, it's totally wrong. Why will you want to have fun, and after having fun, you will be looking for a way to pay back your loan? Maybe it’s just high time people started thinking before taking any action. When gambling, we should just have fun. Make sure we are not addicted to gambling, because addiction is what causes all those things.

Diving to the bottom with dependence occurs smoothly and is not noticeable to the player. Yes, he starts borrowing money, but at the same time he gives himself carte blanche to do this, as if it will help him recoup (no). The player is passionate and busy with the game, he tries to do things to win, but often forgets that luck decides who wins and who doesn’t, and his efforts, sleepless nights and other not entirely successful ideas do not give a real result. As a result, he finds himself at the bottom with his problem and whether he can get out of this bottom is a very big question.

And then a struggle is necessary, admitting that he has an addiction is a very important point that not everyone can cope with. Players should remember that lending money is a very serious check point at which we need to think about where we are, and not run around in a fit of rage and call all our friends just to get it back.

Addiction is no joke. The sickness is dangerous. It doesnt care if you're rich or poor, smart or not. It grips and holds on. And yes, it goes beyond greed. Greed is wanting more money, power, and possessions. Addiction is another matter. Your need, compulsion, and craving engulf you. Like unquenchable hunger.

Not that there's no hope. Far from it. But addiction recovery needs strength, courage, and lots of support. Its a hard path. The road is worth taking. Because freedom, tranquility, and a new life await those who overcome addiction. Dont give up on an addict friend. Help and show you care. It could save their lives. Dont be ashamed to seek for help. All of us need assistance sometimes.

Well all what you have said  is basically the 101 classes that's involved in gambling and very few persons actually make an attempt talkless of passing the test involved which is the act to recognize when you have reached your limits. The thing is that some gamblers do get the opportunity to actually recover some of the funds they lost for a session but the problem now is that it's not a consistent occurrence so the wild dream of it happening everytime is merely a mirage.

A gambler's main enemy is his greediness. His more greediness will make him loser. Some times gamblers try to recover the lost money soon but the result is null. In such way he will become addicted. It is easy for people who gamble regularly to become addicted to gambling. They cannot control themselves at all. They will start borrowing money after losing their savings at some point. Thus their loan amount will increase. Gambling can be enjoyable if one does not consider it a source of income. Excessive gambling will increase the number of losses there than wins. A gambler must practice responsible gambling.

Indeed right, and if we only understand the risk then we will always take that opportunity not to play more when given that chance to win, instead we will quit and stop playing as we know the possibilities that it will return to the house if we won't be wise enough taking it out from the casino,

though there are some experienced gamblers who can manage to work on it and able to control their emotions but more on the side where gamblers thinks that they can win more by continuing the game.

And then, yes, the next thing you'll see is you already out of funds and you'll be thinking asking for loan or barrowing money from friends or relatives to try winning back your losses.

Suppose they continue on after a win. That's what usually happens because we cannot stop ourselves from trying to milk the gambling site more but their system ain't a fool who will not notice what is happening. It is written in a program that we cannot win continuously, they are just using those wins to make us believe everything is possible. That's why, it's all up to us on when we should stop.
Will it be worth continuing if we know to ourselves that the chances of winning are getting lower after a win? It's rare to see another win, and it's more likely a defeat taking all the profits and then our capital next. That's when we think about getting a loan which is unwise to do.

This is beyond greed my friend, it is an addiction. If you are still greedy in gambling, thank your God, you can get out of it easily if you are wise, but if you are addicted, whether you are wise or not, it will control you so uglily until you find a cure (if there will ever be any). This is why you hear stories of gamblers doing unspeakable things like selling their properties to gamble or borrowing money for the purpose among others. Are these people sane in your opinion? No.

This is how you would know that it is beyond mere greed but an entangling situation that is psychological (addiction). Once we detect this in anyone close to us, we should never take it lightly, we should reach out to help in our little way or refer them to external help that is professional about it.

To me it is not only the fact someone would ask for a loan to gamble or to do something which brings them fun of thrill. It is also about how I am yet to find one single story about a gambler who asked to a loan to wager, had Good luck on multiplying the money and decided to stop and pay back the loan.
In reality, most of the stories about gamblers asking for loans will end up badly, because even though the person manages to double the money, it is unlikely they will stop there, because of the greed of the moment. They will continue to gamble until all the money they asked and their unrealized gains are pretty much away.
Even if someone has a big enough willpower to know when  to stop with their borrowed money, I would never advise anyone to do so. It is just asking for problems...

Exactly. Gambling is mostly for having fun, it doesn't need to be so serious. If we have no money, just stop temporarily and don't force to play gambling with loan money. If we force to gamble with loan money, it is not a wise decision because it doesn't deserve for borrowing money. Unless it is for emergency or urgent needs, it is better to stay away from taking a loan. Stay gamble with a safe way!!

Agree. One of the ways to avoid an excessive gambling is by sticking with allocated money for gambling. If the allocated money is over, just stop gambling until we have money again. Choosing the loan money for gambling isn't the right way because we have no urgent thing with gambling. Be a smart gambler with a good management in gambling funds. If we want to gamble for a long time, we don't gamble excessively because it leads to a lot of problems.

It mostly ends up with severe problems because most of gamblers take a loan for chasing the wins. They are trying to recover their losses but it triggers to more losses. That's why it is no recommended to gamble with loan money. There is no guarantee for winning, gambling generally depends on the luck. So, just gamble with safe money!

The problem is that, if gambling is something we should be having fun doing, and we are taking loan to do that then there is a mathematical error there. You shouldn't take a loan to do something "fun" that you will lose money on.

I mean fun is not worth getting a loan, loan is something you take because you have no money left and need money, there is no "need" to gamble, gambling isn't a persons need, it's just a hobby or something you do at free time. This means that you can live without gambling whereas loan is for things like medical bills, food, rent, and those type of things that you must have. I believe that if you are taking a loan to gamble then we are ending up seeing something that will get a lot of trouble in the end for sure.
