Topic: Selling a property to play gamble - page 3. (Read 1640 times)

Selling a smart phone is far more convenient when using selling a house as a comparator therefore it makes sense for some people to follow that path if it is the norm depending on the area. Using items as collateral is something that most problem gamblers probably do, such as motorbikes, cycles, cars and a lot more.

Also, I think the damage suffered by communities that have family members that have addictions to slot machines, is under reported. Slot machines are magnets for people that are classed as problem gamblers and that is dangerous. You are right, the impact of gambling very big, it destroys families and lives when it changes from fun gambling to addiction.

I wonder why people will take such a risk, It is as if people do not know how expensive, it is to own a property now and this act shows that the person is not responsible. and if the family finds out about it they will be disappointed gambling is one of the most irresponsible things to do because you lose more than you earn. owning a property is an asset that can appreciate so losing something as value for a gamble is the height of irresponsibility because you won't get it back. and when the person knows he does not have money what is the reason for using the house to take such a risk? I would love to meet foolish people like that on the street because they belong to the street. this shows that gambling is risky and it is not for some people at all.

If people can go to any length to commit themselves to gambling even to the point of death, then expect from them to do worse once it comes to having this fun affair in gambling, people have different ways of thinking and we can't expect everyone to think the same way we are thinking, you will be so much surprised about finding out that this has gone beyond seeing a gambler being addicted to gambling, some of them just have this kind of natural way of behaving strange and they never feels bad about that, selling a property could be the least and simplest some of them could do, when they can have the thought of using other people's money in their disposal for gambling not minding the aftermath.

What most people around me encounter is selling their smartphones to gamble, and some people also pawn them. Most of the gamblers in my area are slot gamblers, only a few play soccer betting, and there are also those who play both. Not a few of them also borrow money from friends, with other small property as collateral such as motorbikes, I haven't found anyone who sells cars, that's very risky in my opinion. As for this model of gambler, it is clear that they are addicted, it is difficult for them to give up this bad habit.

Of course the risk of regret always comes last, but most of them are very prepared for any risk, and will sell any property they can cash in on. The impact of gambling is very big, making you bankrupt and losing almost everything you have. Family, career, savings and future are at stake if you continue to gamble, most addicted gamblers will also avoid people who give them advice. I think if they are at the stage of selling the property to gamble, then they will no longer listen to any advice.

I doubt anybody in the forum would open;y admit to selling a property to gamble and not only that, it is highly unlikely for people to do it. One way homes could be sold is if gamblers ended up taking loans against their homes for the purpose of gambling and they lost the whole amount. In that case it is probable debt collectors would be chasing the debt therefore a home could be forcefully sold via a Court order to recover costs to pay outstanding debts.

Other than that, it would be very unwise for someone to sell their home for the specific purpose of gambling.

There are also two possibilities in gambling, namely winning and losing, but in my opinion the chance of losing is greater than the chance of winning, therefore it is very likely that if we gamble, we will lose more often than win. Even if they sell their property to gamble, it doesn't guarantee they can win for sure. because of course the gambling party doesn't care about what happens to the gamblers, even if they experience big losses, it doesn't matter to the gambling party, also if they sell their property to gamble, the gambling party will not feel sorry for them and give them the winnings after selling the property they own. .

That's right, maybe something like that could be considered unprofessional, and in my opinion that one thing has gone too far beyond the normal limits of gambling, even though it could be said to be a normal thing it's clear that it shouldn't be done, because it's very likely that they will only experience defeat, right? win even if they sell the house they own for their own residence. and in my opinion, gambling by selling property when you run out of capital is also irresponsible gambling because they cannot accept defeat well so they sell what they have to gamble. it is not a good action and idea.

Selling a house to gamble is a big mistake. I have never seen anyone selling their house to gamble, but I have seen people gambling away their father's inheritance. Some people think it is normal to risk their grandfather's and father's inheritance to gamble. I would never do that. I think gambling is fun and a house and a car should not be risked for fun.

The story is likened to that of the prodigal son in the bible  It is morally wrong to sell one's property to gamble, I think those people who indulged in the act were usually promised a sure bet just like fixed matches in soccer betting unfortunately gambled irresponsible with money sourced illegally, I have never sold any of my property or other close relative property and used the proceed to gamble that is big risk infact it's is abnormal to sell one's property how much more of a parent property who laboured hard to buy  a car unfortunately his son in his bid to get rich quickly through gamble took a very irresponsible decision.

Yes, sometimes the person takes his whole life to save enough money to finally purchase a property, but if the property's value is converted into money, it can disapper in a matter of one single night when gambling at a casino... It goes beyond irresponsibility, it's insanity! Unfortunatelly, we know it's something which happens for real with some gamblers, as they have a solid patrimony, but end losing everything to gambling as they keep selling self-owned vehicles, houses, jewelry, assets and even their own clothes when things reach to an extreme point where there is no turning back anymore, as they hit bankruptcy.

For us who are watching this situation from outside, it's hard to imagine what is happening on the minds of such individuals to sacrifice everything they have achieved for nothing at all. I believe it must have something to do with the feeling of having an empty life without a purpose anymore, so they act insanely, maybe to escape from emptiness or maybe to seek a meaning for their lives, although in a very unhealthy and harmful way.

Selling some of our property because we want to gamble then it's too ashamed and losers cause imagine you will going to sell your property in order to gamble then if the Money you used to gamble will loss then  how sad it is.  So we need to be vigilant we don't need to borrow, sell some gadget's or even our property for gambling cause in the future we will regret it and then we will cry cause of regret. So  from now on we must have the mindset that if we need to gamble then we will use our existing money so that when we gamble and loss it's not just matters cause we gamble fo fun.

It's just a foolish person selling property for gambling that will disappear in an instant while getting property is much more difficult even it takes years for you to collect money to buy it, so think again don't let us be insane about this.
I think we can still overcome gambling well even though addiction is difficult to fight, there must still be responsibility from yourself to start because other people only give advice and will never prevent you from hindering.
Think again, gambling is only cold money that is ready to lose not selling property that will be lost.

This is what addiction could do, therefore it's important to avoid ourselves from getting addicted. If you are rich, you have a lot ot sell, and if you are poor, you have few to sell, so it doesn not have any difference at all because all these happened when a gambler risk more than he can afford to lose.

It's problem on controlling ourselves that make us do this stupid thing, when we are drowning in debt and we are oblige to pay because we are afraid we will go to jail, that's the real pressure will hunt us and we won't have a good night sleep. All these could happen and even worst, that's why I am happy for those gamblers who got addicted and able to figure out early how to get out of addiction.

         -   Selling property like real estate just to use what it sells for gambling is not a good move for me. This is no longer normal, and the level of addiction that the gambler has is too much for the gambler to control.

I am a gambler, but I would never sell a property just to follow my passion for gambling. I will not waste a long time if I work hard, and then it can be lost in an instant just because of the short-term comfort of gambling.

a very careless act, gambling has ruined his life and also damaged family relationships for quite a long time, luckily his parents were generous and forgave him, maybe he comes from people who are quite well off, if they were poor people I'm sure his parents will not forgive him, this makes us more careful when gambling so as not to let our desires control us

For an addict maybe selling something to fund their gambling activities might be for them an alternative but for normal people who look at gambling from a rational point of view it is definitely not an alternative but something that can get them into a deeper hole or a much worse situation. As I said above that this is a new habit that will make them even worse.

I think the only way for us to avoid the idea or idea of selling something just to gamble or other excessive actions is when we are able to understand what gambling activities really are, because by understanding it, it is clear that you will not dare to act out of control or mean doing things that you really cannot be held accountable for in the end.

Of course because there is absolutely no good result with us doing this kind of action because it involves an excessive action while as we know that something that is done in excess is always synonymous with even worse results, especially in the case of gambling where there is absolutely no certainty to actually produce because the randomness that exists in gambling does not allow you to produce, so of course it is better to avoid this kind of thing because this is an action that will be dangerous.

Well, when the family members will find that you have sold the property for gambling, then it means it will be a big disaster for them, which has already been done. No way, this is something which no gambler family will want to see. I guess this is so big step that it can leave to severe disturbance in the family relationship and might end up even on divorces too. I just can't imagine the reaction of this selling property for gambling (and losing that money too).


This is why we say that gambling addiction in bad. It will only bring bad name to the gambling and also people who are addicted do not use their mind. They do not know what they are doing. Their only mission is to get money for gambling, no matter from which source. This is so sad to hear such news of gambling addicts taking such severe steps. I wish someone may taught these gamblers to remain responsible otherwise it can ruin their life's.

I don't think that gamblers can easily forget the risk of losing money. Above all, frequent gamblers tend to closely monitor the balance of their account, especially when they experience more losses than wins. Therefore, I do not think that forgetting the risk of financial loss is a common occurrence among such individuals.

We may call those gamblers stupid, but addiction is a challenging and complex condition that can affect anyone. If you find yourself in this situation, it's understandable that you may struggle to recognize and understand your actions. Addiction can lead to a loss of focus on important responsibilities, as addicted gamblers become solely focused on satisfying their gambling addiction.

I personally have never done anything beyond reason to gamble, such as taking a bank loan or even selling property. I have never done anything that bad, I am still aware of the risks I will take if I really do that, I hope we everyone avoids any problems from gambling, playing relaxed even if a little annoyed will be much better than having to force yourself and the situation

While gambling people may forget that they can lose their money in gambling. Gamblers may not be able to understand and learn this. Gambling makes people greedy for money which proves that people do not hesitate to sell their various possessions for gambling. When a person becomes addicted to gambling he sells his property. People who get addicted to gambling and sell their property are absolutely stupid.

It is not advisable to sell anything for gambling purposes if you want to gamble then gamble with what you can afford to lose otherwise it should be avoided. Because if you gamble by selling your property then you can win and lose which is not guaranteed. If you are lucky then you win and if you are unlucky then if you lose then you lose all your money. If you lose all your money then you will be bankrupt

The examples you cited above are so unfortunate, that they are not called for. It shows the level at which some children are spoilt and how some people are just idiots in nature. Is it a must you gamble? You still have the parents that were feeding you, or at least cared about you, but all you can do is to give them pain, after all they have done for you? This is so sad and I can't even reason how some people behave, it often dawns on me that they are possessed, because, without that, I do not know why they would do some unspeakable thing.

In fact, it is a big shame on them. Before we do anything, we must weigh our options, gambling is never an investment, if you will do a thing like that at all, do it on something that people and your parents would be proud of. But those guys need desperate money and they need it very fast, that is why they often turn to gambling which has never been the solution. Imagine, if the guy who bought the land bought it and ran away for 3 years, in the next three years, the land could have at least double the money he bought it with depending on the choice of place. By that, won't the parent be happy and later forgive? Even though I do not like it entirely what the guy did, one should still be reasonable about what they channel money to if at all it happens.

As per your question, well, I will not do anything irresponsible because of gambling and I will not use the money I can't afford to lose for gambling. I've been strict in this regard and it is helping me as well.
