Only irresponsible gamblers sell off their valuable properties to play bets, that is such a stupid thing to do because you are not even sure what the outcome of the game is going to be and you can quickly lose that money. If you sell something valuable, you ought to put the money into an investment, so it can generate returns for you later. If you sell something of zero value, then that may not be a problem, but selling your land or car is stupid, and that gambler needs help.

Selling a property to play gamble? I actually rarely hear this but I do believe there is people who sell everything to gamble. Maybe he/she is highly addicted, tho I hear there is a person who sells a house for gaming I don't know what people think but it is what happens.

I sold a laptop that I supposed to repair and I lost the money to gambling. I sold a good home theater and used the money to gamble and I lost it. Enough lesson for me not to sell anything and use the money to ever gamble again.
Are you okay now though? That's a serious thing already if you start selling high price items, thank God that there's people like you that I meet on this forum sharing their woes and experiences because I'm learning from the experience of other people and end up not committing the same mistakes, I can't imagine selling all the expensive stuff that I collect over gambling and then losing it all over again, that's definitely a heartbreaking thing to happen, hopefully you're fine now. I haven't sold anything of value yet to help with my gambling habits, so I'm all good.

Oh! I didn't know about that. Yes, are you OK Oshosondy? it sounds like you are/were a bit anxious when you did what you say. I hope you learnt the lesson as you said: the sooner we fail and learn about our failures, the better.

It's hard to believe that this happened to such a sensible member of this community, but if it happened to you, nobody is risk-free.

Many people do things as he says, especially if it is related to gambling. I have also met people who even sold their assets, such as gold, just to be able to continue gambling. It might be a mistake, but we don't know what is going through that person's mind, and even if they have made such a mistake, they still cannot reduce their gambling activities. But if he can recover from everything, it is a very big blessing that he can cure himself from gambling. Playing gambling carries the risk of losing money and we should be able to control ourselves when gambling and not spend a lot of money because of the temptation to win a lot of money. We still have difficulty winning big wins, so we don't need to try too hard when gambling.

But it is highly not good to touch your parent property and sell to gamble. It is not good at all. If he has changed, that would be good.

Anyone who sells their goods just to gamble will usually not find a happy ending from it. Most of them will end up losing more money than they should, because their greed brings them disaster. This can also lead to a broken relationship, if the items being sold are items from parents that they should not be selling. That's why no matter how desperate you are, if you don't have money, it's best not to gamble because when you force yourself to gamble, you will usually lose more money.

There's no happy ending with that but rather it would really be having that miserable life once you have sold out all of your property because of gambling. This is why its never been that recommendable that you should really be doing such act just because you've been that you do able to play via with those sold properities. Yes, its a big money but doesnt mean that it would really be just that easy not to spend those funds.
We do know on how fast a certain individual would be able to bust up all of the gambling capital allocation in a span of time. Even if we do say that those having that huge bankroll due to some
sale but doesnt mean that it would be completely putting you up on such advantage.

You would really be only be able to realize those things on the time that you wont really be having any money on your pocket on which you could really that make use of.
There's no way that you cant really be notice it out but well regrets do really happen at the end.

When you're want to sell something or take someone else money for gambling, it means you shouldn't gamble in the first place.

I never had an experience to sell my property to gamble, it's really dumb and since I has many way to entertain myself, I don't feel gambling is a must for my live when I'm poor.

Have you ever sold a property to play gamble and afterwards finds it difficult to replace that same property again?
I am yet to get to that point yet. I wonder how it will feel like to me to have the urge to gamble so bad that I have to come under undue pressure and stress to sell off a personal item. But I guess it's already too late because I have already set some measures in place to checkmate this feeling.
hopefully, that never happens in the future, either for you or for me.
Honestly, I almost never got to that point. It's not an item of great value, just a cell phone, it happened quite a long time ago. Now I have controlled myself and will only bet with the money I have limited to play with.
but I have a friend who sold his motorbike just to get money for gambling capital. it was not good, but his ambition to play was too big. especially because his friends accompany him to play, so he doesn't play alone. Maybe friends will encourage him to continue playing longer until he is finally determined to sell the assets he owns.
That's why it's better when we want to play online casinos to do it ourselves, to avoid things like that.

We should never let gambling take over our lives. It's a big mistake. Selling things is easy but it's not easy to replace what you have lost.

No matter how deep you are in gambling never you sell a property because you will surely regret it when it doesn't work the way you expected.

This is what happening in real world, and many gamblers already did this unfortunately some didn't survive the stress of this addiction.
I will never fall into this kind of trap, this is also why I limit my gambling exposure as much as possible, and make sure that my properties will never be consumed just for the purpose of gambling. Always have your budget and gambling plans, don't put yourself on a situation where you will feel depressed, gambling is supposed to entertain you and not to consumed you.

Even if you want to sell real estate for gambling, you should at least collect statistics on how successful you are in the game. And these statistics should be multi-year. Only then would it make sense to sell the property. Although, in my opinion, this is still a stupid decision from a risk management point of view. If you take out a loan, then no more than 25% of your net worth. Otherwise, there is a chance that you will fall deep into debt. This is an extremely unpleasant thing and you will have to repay the loan with interest or declare yourself bankrupt.

Seeing such addicted gamblers is very sad because they are willing to sell their valuables just because they want to continue gambling, who knows what they are thinking so they take big risks that they have to bear, selling property is fine as long as the money is used for other needs, not for gambling, because we don't know, the more we take risks, the greater the risk of losing. Moreover, if you sell your valuable property just to gamble, you will only regret it because maybe you will not be able to recover your losses and instead you will lose money from the sale of your valuables.

Luckily, I gamble only with the money I can afford so I never even think about selling property just because I want to gamble, I sell my valuables only for urgent and more important needs. While gambling is not that important to me so I don't want to sell property just because they want to carry out gambling activities.

It is so unfortunate how some gamblers become so addicted to the extent of selling off most of their properties just to play gamble even when they're aware of the risk that is

I agree, it is indeed unfortunate how many people get addicted to gambling and sell their properties just to keep on gambling.

I think selling things is a late stage symptom of addiction. But the same symptoms of addiction go for anything else that you can get addicted to. That is because an addiction is a neurochemical disbalance in the brain. There is no way to see it coming, because we are all only human, after all.

I personally have never sold any belongings to fuel my gambling habit. But then again, I am not addicted to gambling. Nor do I know anyone who sold anything (other than cryptocurrencies) to finance their gambling.

As someone who has never sold any of my movable assets, financial assets or digital assets to gamble, I think this is extremely illogical because there is never a guarantee of winnings in gambling. I also think that someone who sells any of his/her assets to gamble is addicted to gambling because someone who doesn't have enough money will never have a priority to gamble and if he/she sells a product he/she will use the money he/she gets from it for the expenses he/she needs to continue his/her life.

In addition, I think that the money obtained by selling any asset shouldn't be used in gambling, even in gambling such as sports betting where there is a possibility of predicting the outcome or making a winning prediction.

He is a prodigal son since he came back Grin Anyway, Do you have any information on him currently? I mean… for someone who has such addiction for gambling, what is he doing right now that he has reunited with his family? If he has a job is he doing it well? Or is the addiction just the same? I’m writing this questions to remind that even if he is sorry for what he did, he can do it again if he isn’t treating the addiction.

Even how deep am I in gambling, it's hard for me to imagine that I will sell my property just to gamble. I will sell my property because of an important reason, emergency, or urgent need of money but not for gambling. Won't do such a thing for a crazy idea. Never. I don't understand why there are people who have the guts to do that thing.

It's not wrong to spend money on gambling but be responsible enough to know the consequences.

I agree, the story is heartbreaking. Selling property due to gambling addiction is a horrible reality, and your friend is a prime example of its devastating consequences. 3 years of wandering, alienation from his family is a huge price to pay for a momentary flash of excitement. Many people fall into the same trap. Gambling addiction can quickly spiral out of control and the consequences can be devastating. Never sell your assets for the sake of gambling. The risks are simply not worth it. p.s. Fortunately I do not have a gambling addiction so I do not even allow the thought of selling any of my assets for the sake of gambling as well as committing any other illegal actions

I have no personal experience to this but I was a witness when I saw my uncle destroyed his life in gambling when I was in high school.

This started a few years back when my uncle was living his life- he had his own car, a very beautiful girlfriend, and a supportive grandparents who took care of him ever since he was a kid. Well, you can say that he is somehow of a spoiled brat as he was also suffering from ADHD. Unfortunately, there was an incident that happened in his workplace (he was HR) that led the management to terminate his job and position at his workplace.

This is where the downfall started- he lost his job, his girlfriend, and he also did drugs and gambling at the same time. During some random nights, I can hear my grandmother crying since she said that my uncle sold his designer bags in order to fund his drug and gambling addiction at the same time.

To cut the long story short, it has been more than 10+ years and my uncle, in this very same day, is still suffering from these addiction. His life is somehow ruined given the fact that he cannot sustain himself anymore as he has no job. Our family tried to help him but he was eaten by these addictions to the point that he kept on sharing gambling posts and theories with everyone.
