Topic: Violence and anger could be a sign of gambling addiction in youths - page 2. (Read 811 times)

Frustration with gambling sites often occurs when they are unable to win and also experience consecutive losses in gambling. And indeed, people like this often blame the gambling sites and not infrequently they also do other stupid things by breaking their cellphones as a form of anger and disappointment towards these gambling sites. This will only show how immature you feel when gambling.

If I find this in my child then what will I do, I will try my best to help my child get out of the zone and stop his gambling activities slowly. And indeed we have to do this slowly. because if we force it to stop completely, it is very worrying that this action could have an impact on the child's mental state, causing the child to become mentally disabled.

I don’t think gambling breeds the abusive behavior, but I know that it is terrible when someone who has anger issues, or is abusive is also addicted to gambling. Because when they fail, they put it on the person or object next to them. Seen those clips where people game on a PlayStation console and the person losing punches the game display? That’s exact what I mean by terrible.

If the government in question doesn’t try to provide jobs, etc to make youth have a better source of income, then they are prone to continue trying to make quick money. Some of them do it because of laziness, some do it just to be able to afford basic needs. It’s just sadder when  they lose they little they had.

Their was the quarrel and dispute due to the gambling.The gambling addiction was the root cause for the dispute between the gambler and gambling site.Mostly the gambler defined the gambling sites uses the code to get all the money to their game.But the gambling site doesn’t need such situation.If you find your children involved in the gambling,you should get away the gambling addiction alone.But you should not force them to quit the gambling.Which leads to the gambling addiction on the game.

This is a form of domino effect of gambling addiction. And this domino effect will be worse than just gambling addiction. And if we have found that our children have started to lie then we should be suspicious and look for what is behind the child doing a lie because if this continues to be allowed to drag on, then this is very dangerous and it could be that telling a lie will become a personal habit. And we need to know carefully that when someone succeeds in telling a small lie then he will tell a bigger lie because he thinks that the first lie he told was successful and can give a result.

It could also be a sign of mental health illness, emotional heart breaks, financial problems or even could be a sign of drugs and substance abuse.
Not everytime does the negative issues with youth has to be caused by gambling, it's best to do your proper investigation on the person so as to help him/her out than just labelling the cause to be due to gambling side.

I have been gambling for a long while now and I know several gamblers who started before me and we all have happy homes, we do have bad days and just like anyone can have a bad day at work, school, business, investment and all you just find a way to deal with it logically.

Honestly gambling with moderation wouldn't have much effect on the gambler unlike addicted ones who would always transfer aggression to other people like friends, close family members etc after incurring severe losses, addicted gambler had done more harm to a lot of people simply because they couldn't curtain their anger obviously it is natural to always get angry when things goes wrong, however to avoid this kind of anomaly is to gamble with the amount of money you can afford to lose or quit gambling, of course losing a small portion of money wouldn't cause any harm to the gambler as well as their temper.

The gambler who had loss the game and get short temper in the offline gambling will attack the gambling owner for their loss,but this should be avoided.The loss in the gambling is the common one,So the gambler should I understand the gambling loss is the common one and the gambler should take responsibility for their loss.The violence is not thje solution for the loss in the gambling,the gambling itself low you to make a big win in one day.So the gambling loss can be easily recovered by the gambling itself.To recover the loss,the gambler should not do the gambling without the limit.The gambler only follow the free money in the gambling to get back their loss money in the gambling.

Short temper will not win the game, its a sign of someone losing the game for sure and I have to agree that could relate to gambling addiction or any addiction would relate to this loss of control imo.  Unfortunately I've seen it a few times myself, a normally reasoned person loses their full capability to think through a situation and just ends up reacting badly to almost every event in their lives. Its time to step away and take some time  out in this situation, step away from gambling as you wont win anyway; however not all can or even want to step off ride and go slow.

I think it might be true and there is a possibility that the child may have a gambling addiction problem, but I don't think that can be concluded just like that because if we talk about problems related to a person's temperament or emotions, it could be triggered by many things not just a gambling addiction problem, right?.
If someone is addicted to gambling then he will definitely cause problems such as often asking for money by force to gamble, but here the problem you are saying is, does he only have problems related to his anger because of bullying his juniors and younger siblings? If that's the only problem, it's possible that he just has a personality problem because he is an individual who has a high temperament and has a character who likes to bully.

In my opinion, a way that might be effective in dealing with gambling addiction problems in today's young generation is to provide early introduction and special education about all forms of juvenile delinquency, including gambling addiction problems in schools or educational institutions. Because in my opinion, if the younger generation is introduced to several problems or deviations that are often faced by teenagers, then it is possible that their self-control will be less developed because they have been introduced to the risks and negative impacts of several deviant behaviors, one of which is the problem of gambling addiction.

If the addicts gamble with loans, their salary won't change the behavior. It'll only make the person a high roller. Funneling lots of vulnerable to his career. I don't think gambling addiction revolve around jobless people. Gambling has taken jobs away from employees. The solution is kindness. Having conversation with gambling addicts. Inviting them for outings, parties and other social gatherings. Will engage them and brush away some time spent on gambling. But, the society today is not conducive to them. Thereby boosting the number of gambling addicts in the communities, regardless of their financial status. CEOs gamble. If the aggressive and the financial destructive gambling addict is shown the other side of this world. He'll learn to adjust, and fix his life. Hence, it'll gradually spread and reduce the high rate of gamblers. So, if gambling is not a solution to poverty, it is not also a solution to more wealth. For the rich folks. The very rich go broke because of gambling. Being financially stable doesn't solve it. A sustainable social activities will easily bounce out gambling addiction. I know it'll sound difficult, since these addicts don't think of other things. One would wonder how to constantly win a gambling addict over to a party. They may influence their non gambling friends. Thousands of reasons have reduced the care loved ones give to their suffering gambling addictive friends. I've seen many addicts change. Because they hang out with non gamblers. Good peers make great changes to the society. In most cases, it's not planned. The addict gets compassionate with the non gamblers, accidentally. And tend to change by seeing how their friends live life. That means if the people invest kindness to help reduce gambling addicts, it'll be easier to achieve than any other available method.

The gambler should reduce their anger in the game,because the gambler will start to attack the gambling sites after the loss by blaming the gambling site.But the fact is the gamblers should take this as the gambling responsibility of money involved in the gambling.Because the gambling had both win or loss based on the luck.Don’t blame the gambling site for the loss and to be mature before start to play the gambling.No gambler ask the win,why they win the game and say was asked at the loss of money.

The gambling addiction was the unstoppable,the gambler should get away from the gambling addiction by following some steps.When the children started to hide from their parents,it leads to the huge involvement of the children.So finally the children involve in the financial crime to get the money for the gambling game.When the gambler try to lie to their parents at the beginning,the same lie will be the permanent one.The kids lie to their parents till he get into the job after their graduation.

Anger is part of emotion. Everything have got a reason. We can't conclude that it had happened out of gambling. People are expressive and there is always difference in it when one is happy and one is sad. If the same person had been lucky to win, surely the way of his approach would've been different. Every gambler used to be good and the goodness lies on ones win/loss.

As most users have mentioned, gambler could've got the anger by nature. It could've come out of him while experiencing a loss. People doesn't know the way to express it. Maybe if the loss experienced can be shared to someone else, surely he will be able to overcome the anger that exist upon his siblings.

No doubt that availability of jobs will get many youths out of the street and that will reduce their exposure to vices as they say that an idle mind becomes the devils workshop, just meaning when you don't have meaningful things or positive things to do then you are likely to get into wrong things. So job creation will shift the focus of some youths away from gambling because many don't profit from it and when they see an alternative in jobs, they are likely going to throw in the towel on gambling and face their jobs.

However, the picture you painted in the body of your post that the effect of gambling is the reason of anger and maltreating of the siblings, this I doubt. That boy may have that gen from the parents especially from the father. He has anger spirit and nature of being wicked, except gambling failure only amplified it. Otherwise, every gambler who loses money should beat their wife's up, their mother or girl friends.

Really hard to tell on whats the source of that anger or kind of behavior because we know that we arent just simply dealing with gambling in our entire lives or time.There are things which we are involved with and not really just that limited to gambling on which it might really be causing up that kind of outcome which temper or sudden burst of emotion is something  that can be seen.On the time that you would really be that
kind of impulsive or something that do really getting in line with your temper on which coming into a point on which you wont really be able to control then this one signifies that you are really that addicted to it.
There's no exemption whether you are old or young because addiction hits you on the time that you would really be finding yourself not to be responsible towards your actions.
If you do find yourself having that kind of spending which is already more than on what you can afford to lose then this is the time you should really be that stopping completely.

That topic is a stretch. Sure, gambling addiction can cause all sorts of problems in behavior, but so can every other addiction so my first thought when i see violence and anger wouldn't be that they must be gambling.

What you are talking about is an addiction. And there are ways to combat that. Persons who are more susceptible to addictions shouldn't try to gamble without an exit plan. Sadly people with problems rarely admit that they have a problem and usually they need to hear that from someone else before they spend all of their money. I am glad that you have found the negative aspects of it, but i don't see preventing others to gamble being a viable, or any kind of solution. To most of us it's just fun pastime.

When gambling addiction hits you hard, your behavior as a son or as a brother might somehow be put at a risk especially if you keep on betting and spend huge amount, and yet you are still not seeing any decent winnings. So instead of hating the gambling site, your anger might be pass to your family members who have no idea at all why you’re acting so strange and wild. This kind of situation is not new anymore, as greed will be the center of your life so the empathy and care that your family needs will be out of the picture already. And you will learned your lesson only once your family decides to leave you for good once the situation becomes worst.

Parent's cannot control what the youth is thinking but parents can control what they wanted the kids to witness.  Other people also have influence towards the youth and this influence can be use to affect youth's judgement and actions.


You have answer the most effective way to infuence youth and that is by guiding them and reminding them in a calm manner that violence is not a solution to any problem, it can worsen it and might possibly bring the youth to more trouble.

Lying just for the money is an early sign of addiction because that is the start when you will do whatever you like even if you are not allowed to. Violence is worst when an addicted gambler was not able to gamble, and of course you can also see this if the gambler losses the money. There’s a lot of form of addiction, and if you already have the worst sign, better to treat it seriously.

I gambled in the past, still gamble but, have far more control over my gambling now than ever. In fact, I often gamble on the live games and establish a niche for my gambling. Like, that’s how much control I’ve got over the activity.
I never considered myself an addict but, I had a point where it was just another part of my weekly activity if I had funds for it and in most case, gambled because I wanted to win. The reality to the game made me cut these down but, I never had to maltreat anyone for satisfaction.

Gambling for a course of youths aggression? I think not. One of the drive for youths to seek easy money through gambling is because they’ve got no jobs. Give them a job and see some of them withdrawn from the activity.

Be it as it may, people have got a side they show to those that are close by and a side for those that observe at a distance. The two are never the same but, they are a part of the same person. It could be activated bu something but, it’s not caused by that thing. It’s always been there!
