Well, they aren't called addicts for nothing. If there's no money to gamble and there's an urge to their mind, for sure they'll gonna take the risks just to satisfy their wants. Do you think it's psychological or an emotional need that gambling addicts tend to do this risks?
Gambling addicts take no risks that they can't. They can take any risk to gamble. These gambling addicts can even kill their children and wife. Of course, I did not receive this from any medium, such an incident happened in my neighborhood. When the husband asked his wife for money for gambling, she killed his wife and two sons because he could not pay. The issue was not taken up in any media as it was at the village level. Only some online YouTubers have published from their profile. That's why I hate gambling addicts with all my heart because they can do anything at any time. I don't think it's fair to associate with gambling addicts. Because a gambling addict can never return to being a normal person, he gradually becomes more violent and at one point ends the family.

The role of the family is very important in the process of identifying a gambling addict,
The authorities and our families have different roles in helping these gambling addicts. We discuss them but we probably don't know how each of them deals every time they encounter one.This is why it is there is a good reason for the need of seminars and advice service hotline for gambling addicts since the family can use these services to know what to do when the situation presents itself.
but the role of the government should be more swift in identifying people who tend to lead to gambling addiction so that criminal acts such as kidnapping or other things can be avoided early on
And from there, people think that gambling causes only all negative things to a gambler and there's no shed of light from doing it. Having such gambling problem should also raise the governments campaign drives telling people if they can't avoid it then they should moderately do it.It is quite hard for the government to determine gambling addicts without the help of the gambling platform. The government must work with the gambling platform in order to quickly determine which person has the tendency to become a gambling-addicted player by studying betting data submitted by the gambling platform.

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"
Addictions in general have a way of affecting a person's reasoning and decision making. Any addict can go an extra mile just to ensure they can keep doing what they like. In the case of this Old man, it is as far as kidnapping his own granddaughter, in some other people's case, it is as little as deciding to neglect food and bills just so there can be money to gamble with.
As gamblers, this is the stage we should avoid getting to. You owe it to yourself to put yourself in check so your gambling does not get out of hand.
I agree, such people should look for professional help or get support by close circle. I don't blame reckless people who leave gambling addicts to their own fate since it was their own fault losing life savings on casino. Some gamblers don't take it seriously and keep depositing because they don't have close friends who can warn about possible results addiction can lead, unfortunately.
I don't even think gambling addicts usually conceive a second-thought about the whole proceed,...cus if they did, there'll always be some major interceptions.Sometimes, maybe they feel it ain't even hurting them anyways and whatever goes as Thier loss isn't much....so all they'll be left with is doing the same thing over and over again untill it becomes VERY impossible to desist from it. Any addict should kill the ability of fancying every opportunity to wager and making self-thoughts of encouragement over a win on it.

I think gambling is better to quit if you can't control it by gambling he lost hundreds of times more money than he won. Gambling is an addiction in which you will always be in a daze, you will feel like playing this one more time, taking the profit, and not playing again. Then when you win you will say let's play for the last time when you lose everything while playing for the last time you will say, I will take the original and resign from gambling. Then that last time will leave you destitute.
Of the many stories about the madness of gambling addicts. I think, which has an impact on criminal activity less than people who are addicted to drugs. in fact, not infrequently, drug addicts crazier than gambling addicts. but basically, both of them are addicts even though in different cases.
Well, referring to what you said. the thing is, it's not as easy as what we're talking about. in practice, easier said than done and that is a fact. So, that's not the right approach. what you say, it seems, is your personal experience. because, you really know how people who have a tendency to be addicted to gambling. basically, everything comes back to each of us. after all, we have complete control over what we want.
The problem is, how not to become an addict but still be able to enjoy gambling as an activity that is entertaining and gives pleasure. or as you say, it all depends on the level of awareness of each of us and how to cultivate it. point, be responsible. by understanding and having responsibility, one will have self-control. that way, you, me, we, won't get stuck like you said in this post.

As I understand it, few countries are really interested in identifying people dangerous to society at an early stage. More to the point, they are not even interested in reducing the number of gambling addicts. Everything the authorities do is in one way or another about increasing the level of control over the citizens. Everything else is just for show. That is why close people are the only ones who can help to identify gambling addiction at an early stage and help a gambler to overcome it.
the government is not responsible on what you might want to do with your life. so yeah, the help may not be sufficient but do you really think the government or authorities has the final say on what may happen to your life? i don't think so. so it is the person's responsibility to seek help if he thinks he's on the brink of losing himself because of addiction. the government can't take care of your own life. because if they do have this kind of responsibility, just think of the overwhelming numbers they need to look at. why give to the authorities such power on your life when in fact it is you who should be held accountable to your actions?
A gambling addict will not be able to recognize if he has a gambling addiction, and even if someone warns him about the dangers of gambling addiction, he will not care about it and will say that he is fine. But as one of his family, we must constantly remind him and even make it clear that he has a gambling addiction. It was to make him realize that he was having a gambling addiction problem and needed to be cured immediately.
Only with the help of the people closest to him and self-awareness can make him want to cure his gambling addiction. And by taking him to a psychiatrist or someone who can heal what we can do and stay with him during the healing period. After he can recover, we also have to stay with him, and maybe we can also do something positive so that he can completely recover from his gambling addiction.
it's like that, gambling addicts don't want to be called addicts and even they tend to get angry if someone else calls them gambling addicts but I'm not sure the families of suspected gambling addicts don't warn them about the bad activities they are doing, they are tired give warnings and advice for sureOnly with the help of the people closest to him and self-awareness can make him want to cure his gambling addiction.

This doesnt only limit out on gambling addiction but also into other addiction as well on which on the time that there's no money that you could really be able to make use of and this is where
these kind of thinking would kick in. Its mad and something that impossible for a human to do so but well when desperation kicks in and you are really that badly wants to play
then you would really be going into that criminal thinking type of option which its not really that good at all. You are really putting anyone at danger and putting
up your life in a mess.

Only gambling addicts understand the feeling aka adrenaline rush after huge wins and our brain look for same taste after playing casino games. We keep looking for dopamine no matter it happens on huge slot multipliers or on original house games, some guys don't even respect their red line and keep depositing to win back losses. Only small portion of gambling addicts get back what they lost btw, sad but true. ~snip~
Addiction? Who's got time for that? Keep rollin' till the money stacks up, right? 
That's what gambling's all about, no? Jokes aside, though, gambling addiction ain't a laughing matter. Starts off innocent enough – just killing time, then bam! You're tossing your life's worth at a one-armed bandit, praying for a windfall. So take it from our pal here, know when to bow out. Better to pocket some change than end up penniless and hooked on the gamble.
Gambling can make our lives ruined, and we have nothing left. We are better off making gambling a tool for fun than using gambling to make money. That can't happen, especially if we only play luck-based gambling. But it will come back to each gambler.
An addiction to gambling is a sign of fragility. Uncontrollable gambling urges are a sign that someone can no longer discipline and control themselves, and they may also indicate a mental illness that requires medical attention.
Putting the lives of our loved ones or family members in jeopardy is already the worst thing that we might do as a result of gambling since whenever a person risks money or even puts his essential asset at risk despite the repercussions, that is an indication that he is into impulsive addiction.
We are always recommended to get assistance as soon as we start to exhibit symptoms of gambling addiction. We shouldn't put off gambling until we are in a situation where we would be breaking the law. When we give in to our desire to gamble, we are allowing gambling to wreck our lives when, in reality, gambling itself isn't harmful—it's how we utilize it improperly.

Despite the fact that I am not religious, I believe God does not like gambling. This is similar to the prodigal son story, if you have no control over anything, then it's an addiction.
It's crazy losing money from something and still playing it over and over, the only way to be sanity with gambling is playing for fun, and thats when you have the money that you can afford to lose, do not use gambling as your dream source, do not dream that gambling will open some good life for you, it's already a hell for you if you've developed this mindset.

I am also not someone who is very devout with religious teachings, but from what I know the bad effects of gambling are actually sins, so as long as you play responsibly - don't put yourself and others in trouble - don't get addicted to gambling - don't commit crimes - be satisfied with all the results that you get, then your gambling is not a sin at all.
Pro gamblers are different from usual gamblers but if we talk about addiction, they are all the same and chances are they both commit criminal activities when they badly need money to keep their addiction alive. Because their attention is not on where to get money, they don't care if that is wrong as long as they can get money to sustain their gambling life. If you have said that it happens in your locality, that also happens in some places, in some countries as well. That is what we called _"the curse of gambling addiction" and that is hard to stop.
I can say, those who are professionals in gambling are smart people, they control themselves - they think - as well as their surroundings, it's not gambling (becoming addicted to gambling) so it's only dumb people who commit crimes to gamble, they are too narrow in their think (like that stupid grandfather who kidnapped his granddaughter).

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"
In my country usually gamblers who participate in local system gambling are seen to commit many criminal activities. They get involved in activities ranging from hijacking to buying and selling of contraband. However, such negative activities do not usually occur in the case of professional gamblers and they lead a normal lifestyle.
It's a bigger mess in my country, almost all the touths are into gambling and it has taken all they have away from them, some quiet and some don't know how to quit, till today they don't know how to stop the addiction and some believe that pray works with gambling, it is this bad, imagine praying to God for a miracle through gambling, is that even a prayer?

Yes, the feeling when you are winning is the feeling that cannot be stop so easily. Winning consecutively will give you too much adrenaline that if you will continue to play and play you might now missed that feeling, we need to manage our emotions because all us might be the subject of addiction some other people still play regularly but I can't say they are addicted, maybe when the time comes that they don't have money anymore and started to sell of their things or they started to disturb other people. 
The story looks very odd as grandparents are those who look after their grandchildren more and not kidnapping them. Maybe they don't give the man money and he has problem he needs to solved with money then saw this as the only way out.
Then after he was caught, he used the gambling story to cover up as kidnapping your own child just to get ransom to gamble doesn't sound realistic. Why don't he just take the ransom and use for himself instead if gambling again.
I know gambling addict are very unpredictable as they can do anything to keep on gambling but this stories doesn't sound like something a grandfather will do. Maybe if the relationship wasn't very close like a cousin or someone else I'll believe the story.
I think there are a lot of radical stories that doesn't really look like reality to most people but we know that common thing is not the only thing in the world. Sure we know one type of grandparent and that is the common one, most of them are like that, but there are very few, rare cases where it is not like that at all and could be different.Then after he was caught, he used the gambling story to cover up as kidnapping your own child just to get ransom to gamble doesn't sound realistic.

I have seen grandparents who had 10+ kids and 50+ grandchildren who sent their kids to war with next door towns family, over a feud on some animals, to kill people there, and to die if they have to. They just consider them as their soldiers and not grandchildren, no love whatsoever aside from a love of a general towards a soldier, that's it. So common thing is not the only one, there are rare situations that shocks us when we read about it unfortunately.
Indeed, in this case, not everyone can be open, but when they are still living with their parents, in fact, if the parents really care about the child's unnatural behavior, it can actually be seen under any circumstances.
Unless the parents don't really care. But indeed in this case, especially from the point of view of the parents who have indeed freed this, maybe this is one of the reasons because in this case, when we as children are adults, there will definitely be privacy, which of course must be maintained.
Even though the role of parents is very caring and can also see the behavior of their child, whether there is a problem, including getting involved in gambling, it can certainly be known, but if a child is really closed and does not show his behavior in the slightest, then it is difficult to predict or know, even though his own parents.Unless the parents don't really care. But indeed in this case, especially from the point of view of the parents who have indeed freed this, maybe this is one of the reasons because in this case, when we as children are adults, there will definitely be privacy, which of course must be maintained.
Yes, on average, parents who have children who have grown up will give them more freedom and can only monitor or remind them when they make a wrong decision.
I am very sad to see that there are many children nowadays who have become gamblers and they commit acts of gambling that are more severe than adults.
