It is scary when a gambling addict starts to face a financial situation that he can no longer have any money to gamble. This is where the worse comes worst part.
If that guy don't do anything before just to gamble because he has some money on his bank account, he'd do crazy things that are unexpected. Selling more stuff that he has able to save when he's a working man.
Selling more important things when the urge to gamble is there. And that's why financial issues are really a sign of someone who's struggling with gambling addiction.
If a gambler runs out of last balance, he bankrupts all his bank accounts. If his bank account is exhausted, he will sell his house, motorcycle, mobile phone, all his hobbies and participate in gambling.
There will come a time when all his balances are exhausted he will involve himself in various criminal activities. Managing gambling money in particular is likely to involve theft, kidnapping, extortion for dowry, and even murder. All of these actions are the extreme stages of a gambler's addiction.
