The experience you have with your friend is even better than mine, I have a friend that well thought he is going to win in a sports bet and he already make some financial steps with the hope that he would pay back the money with the money he didn't won yet, I don't know about this until he got arrested, he was in debt because he lose the game and he was forced to sign an agreement to start paying back the money every month.

It's crazy how people made plan on money that's not even theirs yet, they have hope which isn't bad but they make plan on something that's not under their control yet, how cray is that? Gambling can ruin anyone if you let it, just by having this dream in your head, like making millions and living a flex life, once you failed you will probably lose your mind and if you have a weak mind you will start doing crazy things because it will be very hard to let go of the dream you have.

It's better to stay away from gambling if you can't get a hold of yourself when it comes to taking risks and financial concentration, I as a person don't dream with gambling, it just doesn't make sense to me, whatever you dream to make from. gambling is probably never going to happen, because 99% of gamblers don't even win most times, it's all luck.

This is typical human behavior and not mental issues....

People are greedy by nature.... they want to win big and when they do, they want this to continue... and it seldom happens. A lot of people get gambler regret, where you bet a small amount and you win something big, but you still regret not betting a higher amount... thinking that the win would have been so much bigger.  Roll Eyes

People should not take gambling too serious..... just have fun and see it as entertainment.  Grin

I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.
Making a budget plan on how to spend a bet potential win amount is a very wrong approach because it has the power to affect our mood and mental health so badly due to how high we have raised our hope on the money that's not yet ours only because we believe that the games bets on will surely play. There's no sure betting game, just because every other games in a bet slip has played doesn't mean the last one left has a 100% chances of playing too. In my years of sports bet gambling I have found out that following up the results of our games as they play one after another especially for those matches that has different kick-off time with each match been played and the results favourable to your bet it raises more anxiety and hope which can be detrimental to our psychological health when the last game cuts or lost, that's why I avoid following up the results of my games I bet on. I just check the time the last game will end after which I now check through to know my fate about the bet if it plays fine and if it doesn't, still fine, with so doing it doesn't have a thing on me whatever the results played out.

Same thing I always tell people, don't put hope on things you are certain about. The worst part is that he hoped on winning a bet, like what made him think that he will definitely win his bet. People should be smart. Gambling is a game of luck, so until you see your winnings, don't make plans on how you want to spend them. His falling I'll make me wonder, if everyone who gambles do same(make plans ahead but don't win) then a lot of us might have been ill or even gave up the ghost(lol). Well we should all learn to gamble responsibly that's a fact.

The title "Stupidity in Gambling Can Be Detrimental to Mental Health" might be more appropriate.

Why do people engage in gambling in the first place? It's supposed to be a source of enjoyment and happiness, not the opposite. Consider what he did, placing just $1 in hopes of winning $2500; that's a reckless approach, and it's highly unlikely that he'll succeed, or it's safe to say that the chances of winning are extremely slim.

Still, the reason for the reaction is money because if it wasn't money maybe your friend wouldn't be sick. Grin
Too ambitious because he wants to win more, maybe he hopes to get his money above $3000 after the next bet but because he fails, his hopes must fade because of his own greed.

Who is not tempting from $1 to $2500 is like a fool who why not withdraw some money to be able to enjoy, if this kind of behavior is clear he is greedy bigger because he has managed to multiply 2500% in the beginning.

Maybe he will come back and chase that loss. Cheesy

Tell me if after 3 days he comes back to play and chase what he lost. Because apart from being mentally depressed, you will become ambitious again as if you will win again. Generally, gamblers like this will not be in control, especially after experiencing an unexpected moment with small capital until they are faced with a big win.

I have witnessed various types of mental gamblers who lost everything, not only property, but their families were also affected. Gambling is not about the amount he gets but about how strong he is able to control his mentality when he is required to leave but forces himself to continue playing.

This is the result of having high expectation in gambling. It's understandable if you have a desire of winning a huge amount. However relying on gambling to generate profit is not a good idea, especially if you already became lucky to had that chance of winning a decent amount. But because of greed, you chose to continue playing until you lose it all.

This can affect your mental health due to high hopes. It can make you depress and feel regretful for the mistakes you did. But that's how it is, if you can't bear the fact you can lose money in gambling then better not to try playing. Moreover, don't be too greedy for wanting more if you're already fortunate to win some. Be contented and enjoy your earnings, otherwise you'll regret if the casino take it away from you again.

Hoping to win big is normal, but anyone should be ready for the opposite. I guess your friend placed a parlay bet with odd 2,500x and maybe he lost it because of 1-2 games which is indeed annoying and disappointing moment. I do place parlay bet some time and I know how it feels when a parlay bet is lost due to 1-2 games only but it is how it works. I'm not sure why it makes your friend sick for 3 days, is it his first time try? Is he new to gambling? Fun fact, mental health may come because of both lose and win. Someone who is not ready for both side may lead them into negative effects including mental.

I think what your friend did was to secure what he earned. For example, if he earned $2500, he would divide the profit so that one was for capital to be used in more gambling games and the other was to be secured. That's why he got sick because he regretted the money he lost. Imagine going from $1 to $250 and back to zero. That would be really depressing for your friend. That should be a lesson to him: not to be greedy; be smart and wise in handling your money or profit properly. and also be disciplined; don't put all that you've earned into gambling.

We've heard horror stories about gambling, and I will assume that your friend is playing parlays and the risk is very high on that kind of betting. You really need to be perfect and it will be dishearten to see your bet just missed 1 that ruined your chances to win that big money. I've seen this before, actually I have a friend who also had the a chance to win $20,000, unfortunately, he has bet his last money. But in the next game, he see that his previous bet hit and that he said that he was sick for and even thinking of jumping out of their balcony. So it's very dangerous to us mentally, and if we are not ready, then the worst can happen to us, just saying. I also had like this kind of parlay bet, and it's really hard to see your bet going down the drain with just one mistake.

It's almost the same thing with a parlay because the stakes go up after every win and in some sportsbooks, you'll sometimes see the amount as there could've been an option to cash out the bet.

In gambling, you can't entirely remove the idea of winning money, but it can be suppressed to a level where you start to care less about it. It's okay to ride a bet until the end as long as it's an insignificant amount but your friend got carried away and only realized the actual amount after he lost the last game.

Gamblers should be able to control their emotions, because this is what makes one a discipline gambler.
It is a must to control emotion. A person who can't control emotion doesn't deserve to be a gambler.
Controlling emotion isn't the only cause/reason for a person to be disciplined. If you want to be disciplined, you need to stick on your rules. Commitment is the key to discipline.

He got sick because he put all his hope on a bet that hasn't come to pass yet. This is why it is called gambling, because gamblers have that hope that they will win the next game and if it turn out the opposite way, they become disappointed.
In my opinion, he got sick because he bet with too much money but it end up with a loss. He may try to increase his bet since he wins huge money previously. He isn't aware that there is no guarantee to win constantly. There should be time for losses, it can't be avoided. A gambler should understand that he will never have an ability to maintain the wins.

There is no guarantee in gambling that you have won the games, until it is over and your predictions were correct. How will one plan on how to spend money that he hasn't won. Don't play gamble because of profit but for fun.
No problem to gamble for profit but make sure to gamble with a realistic amount of money. Don't expect too much to win a big money, just try luck to earn some money. If we are too obsessed to win bigger money, it will end up with the same story as OP explained on the thread.

He put all of his hope with that bet, therefore money is the main concern why he felt bad with the negative outcome. Gambling no doubt is profitable but will never provide a consistent outcome or winnings. Some are indeed making a living in this industry but always consider those who are losing huge amount of money in gambling. Best thing to do is to set the right mindset; knowing when to stop and learning to never bet all in no matter how confident you are with your bet. This would be a preventive measure to not be affected by that much of whatever the outcome is. We cannot control one’s mental health which is why we have to take the initiative to lessen the risk of getting our emotions involved with our bets.If you would be too hopeful of your gambling results or gambling wins, then never expect less of addiction afterwards.

People shouldn't really be counting the chicks before they hatch. I guess your friend has already made some plans for the prize that he's 'supposed' to receive, that's why his reaction went like that. Had he not made the allocations and budgeting in his head when his initial legs on the parlay were winning, he wouldn't have suffered that much IMO. I mean, everyone will be kicking the air after a missed x2500 return on their stake, but it's still something that isn't yours to begin with unless you have won every leg so why suffer that much?

I thought he was sick because maybe it was his last money and apparently he spent it all so that he was mentally disturbed and it had an impact on his physical health. I have never experienced anything like that, usually I get angry easily and get annoyed easily if I lose a lot of money when gambling.

Gambling is a game that uses money, no matter how strong our mentality is, if we spend all our money on gambling it will definitely disturb our mentality and can have more fatal consequences. Because losing money or not having money will be stressful, especially if you already have a wife and children, it will be even worse for you because they will scold you or corner you in the position of the guilty person.

You do not count your chickens before they’re hatched. You definitely do not start to make plans for money that isn’t yet in your custody. The disappointment people get from this can be overwhelming and very frustrating. People have been ruined and wrecked after making plans for money that would be hopefully theirs.

I think people who gets really hurt by their losses when gambling are those who due to being so unrealistically hopeful and optimistic, having positive thoughts only about the funds to be won and already how best to go about using such funds all before they’re actually won.

I hope you don't mind if I ask you, but what kind of symptoms did your friend show when he was sick from this event he suffered while betting ?

It makes me curious how strong is the influence of our minds to control our physical well being. Just think about it, someone is feeling perfectly well, both mentally and physically and then something like this happens and cause them to be "sick" for days.

When you say he got sick you mean he got depressed and could not get up his bed or he actually showed some unexplainable symptoms, like fever, vomiting...?. Whatever was the case, I hope you friend is doing better now and take this passing blow to his mental health as a lesson for the next time he decides to count on money he does not have yet.

Many gamblers had used huge money in the gambling and doesn’t earn due to bad luck,But your friend must be lucky.Because the gambling only help the gambler who had luck in their pocket.Honetly the betting was made on the luck means,he will get huge return from the gambling.But if the gambling was played on the time of unlucky,then the money used will be loss.

The gambler should take some rest in the gambling to avoid of getting sick due to the continuous play.Because the continuous play will give some stress,if you get the continuous loss.Only the continuous win happen in gambling.If the gambler play the game without any emotions.
