I recently watched a new episode of a program about dependent and codependent people. And they talked about how far a person can go in his lies so that people around him will take pity on him and give him money.
They are ready to lie and make up stories about how they are being persecuted by bandits or tax authorities, and this lie shows how much such a dependent person does not respect his family and people around him. For him, bets and casinos are much more important than relationships with people around him.

This is how far gambling addiction can go, to the extent of deceiving the people around just to satisfy your urge in gambling. What’s worst about majority of these gambling addicts is that they are often in denial of theirselves and will never admit that they are addicts. The fact that these kind of people even end up turning to theft or fraud just to have some funds to gamble, that alone is a big sign of addiction since they become uncontrollable from their own actions.

Funny enough all of this are not only associated with a gambling addict but cut across anything has to do with addiction, generally too much of anything they said can be very bad, every addict will always put first whatever that are addicted to first before any other thing, and most times it takes one personal decision based on how much they have gotten the experience the hard way other than taken advice from those around them.

Indeed right, it applies to every person if addiction triggered it's for sure that the first thing in mind of that person is fulfill his intension to please his addiction, nothing in him that will prioritize other things that's the bad effect when you are addicted to something, there are early signs that you can observe if you'll assess things out.

Your focus is more on what you wanted to do when playing or when betting and more of your time been consume just to please your lust to push forward, like what you mentioned more on regretful experienced than listening to those who already shared the bad implication and outcome after getting addicted.

The stories about these people are so horrible that it is hard to believe the crazy actions of very problematic gamblers.

One of the guys who wanted to make his wife feel sorry for him smeared his head with ketchup and sent her a photo, pretending that he was beaten. He tried to make her feel sorry and asked her to take out a loan and give him money. As if in this case the one who "beat" him would stop doing it. It is ridiculous and unbelievable. I can't imagine how ashamed these guys are when the truth comes out.

Gambling addiction has eaten up into the life of some gamblers to the extent of making terrible decisions and actions that seems to affect their own family. But the worst part of it al is that, they don't feel remourse for their action because all they can think of is chasing after their losses. Though some addicted gamblers do make some huge wins but they end up spending it on gamble again which could also fuel their passion for gambling and wanting to win at all cost. Its a shame how a grown up can lie to his family because of gamble or even sell some family property to gamble. Its better to avoid gamble for a while when you find out that you are getting addicted, then after resetting your mindset, you can continue gambling, chasing loses would only make things worse.

in no, 5 I somewhat believe that even if a gambler does not have money to gamble with, if he is addicted to gambling, he will find a way to have a bet on gambling for sure in the end.

What is caused by gambling addiction is that the addicted gambler himself becomes bad at behaving,
he can do bad things like selling property, stealing and so on.

That is what addiction can make one to do, sometimes gamblers who are addicted to gambling don't even mind getting loans or getting money that don't belong to them just to gamble. One thing about addiction in gambling it makes people not to have a sense of reasoning of what will be the consequences of making a financial mistake.

Gamblers that addicted also have this strong confidence that whatever money they use in gambling they can always win to cover it up. A gambler that is addicted will always take expensive risks to satisfy gambling urge.

I see and read such stories constantly in which an addicted player drags down several people around him, who cling to him, trying to save him with good intentions. But where was this player when he made another bet, I don’t think about my loved ones and family. If earlier I treated such players with great loyalty and sympathy, now my opinion has changed to the opposite. I don’t want to sympathize with them, but only with codependent people, that’s who I really feel sorry for, they sacrifice themselves because of their kindness.

Interesting as a social experiment, very nice.
Do you remember by chance what the program is called? Maybe I'm going to get back from the internet hoping that it is at least subtitled, since English spoken are truly a landslide;
These social experiments with great psychology attract me a lot.

When someone is trapped in a cycle of addiction, half of their common sense is gone, especially when they are playing and that is the reason why they often do not hesitate at all to do unexpected things, borrowing money, cheating or committing crimes such as theft has become something that is quite common for them to do and the most common is usually selling various items that they have and all of that is done without them realizing it until in the end they usually only realize it when they are depressed and various financial problems befall them. In simple terms, yes, that can be used as a sign that the person has been trapped in an addiction, the point is that the inability to accept defeat and being obsessed with winning is the perfect form to be used as an excuse that they are addicted.

Problem gambling is a terrible illness that requires lots of attention and care to heal. And most players who live in this trouble face lots of challenges like what you just mentioned, but the most traumatizing part of it is the harm they end up causing their loved ones by taking loans and selling properties that belongs to the family.

Some folks are taken this gambling addiction too far going for loan and selling property is way over board, what are you trying to get for all that a massive win you can use to Start a better live or to start paying all the debt yah holding due finding big wins. Despite the danger of gambling addiction folks still abuse it , all in the name of wanting some big wins , which may end you in some debt in a long run thank God I was able to figure things out on time when I almost got Addicted to gambling maybe I would have ruined myself at the moment.

Actually when a gambler has gambled with what he did not allocate properly for gambling, then it is a sign of an addicted gambler.
Such as an allocation of $ 50 for each week, but when the gambler finally allocates all his salary to gambling, then we can judge that the gambler is addicted.
The actions of the gambler beyond the limits you mentioned have made the gambler seriously addicted. Because the efforts made have involved other people to feel the loss. The impact of gambling addiction is indeed quite large on a person's life, especially their financial and social.

It doesn't need to be all their salary, and it doesn't necessary need to be about money either. Money is just one thing you control, there are others as well. When something takes more time then you have planned using, it can be time bad management issues, or it can be a problem one is feeding. That time can be away from something important, like sleep, family time and relationships in general.

I had a pupil in my school who was always late, because he was gambling during night, because that was his only free time to do it. And that would be fine if someone wouldn't have obligations that require time.
That lead to sleep deprivation, and it's could be the reason he got injury while working.

One could argue that time is money too, but imho time is not about making money. It's about living a fulfilling life, and that rarely happens when that time, you are using for addiction is stolen from something more important.

What you are describing I like to call "terminal gambler", someone who has gotten so bad in his condition of gambling addiction that he cannot keep themselves still and calm if they are not gambling and chasing their previous losses.
A pathological gambler still is addicted but had not opted to sell their properties and goods in order to gamble, and somewhat can still to hold a job or position with not much of a problem.
Terminal gamblers have a very sad end, many of them ending up behing bars, in an environment where they cannot longer gambler as they used to, prompting psychological problems and a trend to have problems with other inmates.

Terminal gamblers should have support from the government of their jurisdiction, but who knows how expensive it would be to rehabilitate thousands of people who suffer from such condition...

Oh yeah! That could really happen in reality, especially for a person who has been hooked so badly on gambling. They will use any possible reasoning just so they can be pitied by the people who are near them.
Drug addicts also use this kind of strategy and there are still people who believe them even though it's all a lie. They make stories about losing money or being chased by authorities because of debts and other stuff but the truth is that they only used it all in either gambling or drugs.
That's a big sign of addiction if one can lie through their teeth, especially with his/her loved ones who will always offer a helping hand not knowing they are being conned.

Addiction has a way of pushing someone to get the money to gamble at all costs because when you have become desperate you seek ways even where you don't have any, that is why most gambling addicts always seek ways to get money resulting in a bad outcome like taking loans to gamble with or stealing from Money meant for other people this outcome has become a reality that many have hard to faced Most especially when they are uncontrollably addicted, I remember a Case of a man that used his child as collateral to take a loan to gamble with only for him to lose the bet at the end of the day.

Well that's it, it can also be said that a good friend and a wise friend are two different personalities, a good one is not always wise and rational in thinking but a wise one will most likely give the best opinion and advice for your safety and security, like what I did to my friend by refusing his desire to borrow money, he even said that one day he would return the loan money worth 2x if at that time I was able to give him a loan, but I still refused because in the end it would only add to his burden of life especially in terms of finances and yes you have seen that one of your partner's friends is now depressed due to treating gambling in the wrong way and maybe I just hope that he can recover soon and realize everything.

In the end, a stupid friend does not give you one hand, indeed it helps you to fall more prey to the vortex of debt and gambling;
More than a stupid friend, i would say that he is a superficial friend since telling you no and explaining the reason is much more tiring than giving you the money and fine;
also because let's speak clearly, give you the money once and then close you the door in the face is the easiest way.
I think the true friend is only the wise one, it cannot exist in this case,

Gambling has become a common thing that many people do as a side hustle to meet up daily expenses.

Laziness is one major sign of gamble addiction, you prefer making success in a more easy way instead of working hard. Instead of doing something tengenble they choose the short cut perhaps learning the hard.

Yes, many of them make gambling as a side income to help meet their needs, even though it is a big mistake but yes that is what happens, honestly it is very sad when you see people who are unable to use common sense and rational thinking patterns properly just because they see an opportunity to get money easily in gambling, and yes I am sure that what you said is quite true that laziness is one of the triggers that continues to encourage them to keep playing and put great hope in winning, one thing I want to say that might be a provision for anyone in the future so that they do not misunderstand is to always use your rational thinking patterns, maintain your awareness and think that everything that seems too easy to get will never seem reasonable.
