Topic: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. - page 14. (Read 2538 times)

Most of the time, those who already suffering from gambling addiction can really go up to this far, they can take the money which originally
for house budget instead of letting the wife to keep it the addicted gambler will not give it and use it to gamble.

Most outcome turned against the gambler and that's the beginning of getting problem with the relationship, they are not going to be happy
when the gambler spend all his money to the point that they will loan it and suffer from paying it back.

Same experience to us, we have a relative who is asking for help and We have helped him to find a way to get a loan. Usually in lending companies they are looking for collateral, my mom offered to make the paper of our motorcycle as a collateral so that my uncle could borrow the money. We didn't know that the money he owed would only be used for gambling. He lied to my mother because we knew he would use the money to build a business but that was not his motive. That was 5 years ago and up until now, We were unable to claim our motorcycle paper because my uncle wasn't able to pay the pending loan. What happened to him now? He still a gambler addict and he chose to become a full time gambler rather than looking for a stable job, what he did have ruined his relationship with our mom.

What your friend experienced was the result of lending money to other people, and he used it for gambling. And the impact may spread without him knowing because, after all, his family will be involved and may already feel the impact of his gambling activities. And apparently, his friend often gambled so he dared to take out a large loan. That is why gambling can have an impact on the people closest to you, especially the family, because when gambling, a person needs money and he can take money that will be used by his family so that his family cannot meet their daily needs. This often happens in many families and may not be exposed to the media so we don't see it too often. But there is an even bigger impact that that person will experience with their family and their environment.

Your comment brings to light a sad truth: people who are addicted to gambling lose all their money and cause problems for their friends and family. The effects of risky gambling go beyond the person who is hooked to it and affect people close to them. It's sad to see how much debt people have and how much trouble they cause for their family members, who often have to step in to stop the bad behavior.

A desperate attempt to break the circle of addiction is to threaten to broadcast the addicted gambler to gambling boards and take legal action if they don't stop. It once again shows how important it is to understand how irresponsible gaming can affect relationships and the whole family.

We should be very careful when we gamble, and we should be aware of how it can affect our personal and social lives. Getting help for problems related to gambling and gambling in a responsible way can help lessen the bad effects on oneself and those close to someone who is dealing with addiction.

That's a common things on the addicted gamblers, I have also seen lots of people who are addicted on gambler and they bring their family and friend into a tuff situations. A few a days ago a friend of mine shared his personal experience with me that a cousin of his had taken a huge amount of loan from him but now he is not returning his money even after being in danger. And later he comes to know that his cousin lost the money he took from him in gambling. Now at present my friend and his cousin do not have much relationship. So from this point of view yes gambling can affect on family and relatives also.

I don't see gambling as bad because a person who can control himself to gamble can never be bad. A person who can't control himself while gambling is better not to gamble than to gamble while gambling. We see gambling as entertainment.  Yes. If we look at gambling as entertainment then we don't think we should face any problems for gambling.

People who are addicted to gambling will continue to try so that they can get money so they can continue gambling, and the only way is to borrow from loan sharks or banks with high collateral such as house certificates or other valuable collatera that they steal from their own family secretly or he could be reckless in committing other crimes or stealing his own relatives' things, because basically gambling addiction is very dangerous, they can't control themselves from doing things that are out of control.

Yes, that is what is on the minds of gambling addicts because all they think about is winning, recovering losses and satisfying their desires. If they have lost all their possessions, their relatives stay away from them and their families don't care, then they will be even more neglected, if it is like that That means his life will change drastically and he will no longer be trusted by the people around him because his gambling life is no longer healthy.

The gambler should keep in mind the free money lone used to gamble,but to get additional money many times gamblers risk their money which was the source of the some work.This was the blunder doing by the gamblers on their greedy to recover their loss,but the recovery of the loss is not depend upon the gambler luck alone.Sometimes gamblers needs to use the real money wisely to gamble,because some loses into the gambling will ruin the gamblers life.The gamblers should understand the basic fact of the money used in the gambling site may be loss completely.But the gamblers should not blame the gambling site for the loss.

When you don't gamble responsibly, it is going to ruin your life. We've seen too many gamblers that have ended badly because they can't control themselves and the effect of gambling to them was enormous and terrible. They can't handle the heat of gambling and that's the reason if someone is going to that direction, you need to check yourself once in a while because you'll never know if you're still in the good shape.

As for the ones that are gambling responsibly, everyone is aware of how it goes and with how much they're willing to lose. While you're losing, and you're thinking of borrowing money from your relatives, that's a wrong thing to do. They'll think of you as a bad gambler and you don't deserve any loan from any of them. Aside from that, any arguments that you'll make against them, you're not going to win. Why? It's very simple and that is because you're a gambler, no gambler will win an argument if you just came from losing and you have nothing to show them.

So, you don't argue with them, accept the losses and your faith as a gambler. If you are not going to change any time soon, that will be your personal choice.

point of correction @rojan it's not everyone that  gambles that gets addicted to gambling, there are many responsible gamblers as there are addictive gamblers. Even though a person chooses to take gambling as a career he or she can moderate his urge to making profit so as not to make losses to the length that starts to affect your family members and also destroying your own life.

Yes, regarding the nature and behavior, it is true as you said that usually such behavior starts from the parents' mistakes in educating their children when they were young, simply put, if their parents educate them harshly or mean to treat them harshly since childhood, then usually when they grow up they have traits and behaviors not much different from what their parents taught them, But for this problem I really can't make it a benchmark for someone to then enter addiction when they grow up, because I think what makes more sense is the wrong environmental factors that can really make someone involved in gambling until they enter the addiction phase or other negative things.

The environment has a very big influence on a person's behavior and changes in any case, it can lead to positive or negative things and usually the environment when they are older is where all these situations and scenarios can start, on the other hand basically it is not an easy thing to get out of gambling or even the addiction zone, because there are so many temptations that are difficult to miss by them and as you said that although there are many suggestions that are so good but not everyone can accept them into consideration. Therefore, the conclusion is that the action to cure gambling addiction must come out of themselves, or that means it cannot be forced and will really be successful or likely if there is basically a firm intention and sincerity from someone who is already addicted to recover.

Gamblers who can't control themselves while gambling can never do anything good. Although gambling is a serious addiction, everyone gets addicted to gambling even after knowing it. There are people who like to gamble in their free time.  People who have taken up gambling as a career only gamble for money, which results in losing all their money and ruining relationships with everyone.

Self-exclusion in online crypto casinos is seriously a joke. I mean it's too damn obvious that you can make a new account without any verification and gamble again whenever you want to, so how does self-exclusion help or even make sense it beyond me.

In fiat casinos, these exclusions make more sense because there you cannot gamble or withdraw without KYC and you obviously cannot use the same documents for a new account.

I think once you are addicted, the only way out is your family or friends who can stop you from gambling. Otherwise, it's a dead end.

A person who gambles responsibly is unlikely to ever become addicted. A person who does not gamble responsibly will have a 100% chance of becoming addicted. Gambling is a deadly game that is not only harmful to the gambling addict but also to the family and relatives. Here I am not considering gambling as bad but I am considering gambling addiction as worst.

It's not only limited to gambling addiction because even on drugs, alcohol etc. this kind of problem is already existing. The common here in our place is alcohol addiction, everyday drunk that cause trouble to the family since the person is becoming violent and aggressive everytime he is in such condition. It's a shame for the family, they even had to let the person arrested for being out of control. I think this kind of problem won't be easily solve without the intervention of health professionals. They need to undergo rehabilitation in order to control their behaviour and to overcome what they have been going through.

It's really true that overuse of anything is not really good. Thus, we have to keep in our minds that if we gamble, make sure that you can discipline yourself not to go beyond your limit.

True, but easier said than done. When addicted, you don't think about anything else but gambling and how to win the lost amount back. I am saying these things from my experience because I have been through times like these. Everything revolves around gambling, if you have a good session you are happy and talking to people and when you lose, you are isolated.

Gambling is just like any other disease that needs to be treated and will not go away by itself. It's a problem and there is no shame in reaching out to your close ones or even a professional for help.

  I can tell you from personal experience that it affects every aspect of living. Emotionally, life is good when they are winning, but if they are losing you have to deal with thier anger, frustration and irrational thinking. It’s like walking on eggshells from week to week wondering if today is a good day or a bad day. Financially, everything declines. Even if a gambler has great days, the reality is that they come very few and far between. For every winning day there are many days of losing everything. Just like the emotional rollercoaster, everything else happened in the same kind of waves. It’s common to go from having alot of food in the house to having nothing, from having plenty of money to pay the bills to scrambling to make due dates, from having a comfortable easy life to being stressed out and anxious as the money comes and goes.
   The reality of an addicted gambler is that it’s a never ending loop and it isn’t until they hit rock bottom and just have no more money to gamble when they see the damage around them. For some this could include valuables in pawn shops, payday loans at several locations, etc.. They are always looking for that next big win to reclaim everything that was lost. Sometimes it happens. But, most of the time, it doesn’t.

it saddens me when people fail to understand this simple trickery at the expense of their funds, happiness, life and emotions - This is fucking business.. even if you were able to win today, it doesn't mean the casino lost anything.. there aren't any "losing game" for them...(especially virtual sites) why? It's highly monitored and professionally programed..
I've never heard of such restrictions - I don't even know the possibilities there... But if this storyline is actually non-fictional, then the said family must be leaving in affluence.

Unfortunately this scenario can happen in many different scenarios and comes down to an individual becoming addicted to something. I've seen very similar things happen when it comes to drugs, even ones that have been legalized for a long time like alcohol. The reality is that we all choose our own destiny, many of these people could reverse course at any point in their life, but they need to hit rock bottom and accept that is where they are. Then there are those people who live in denial, even tricking themselves into thinking that it is a happy way to live, these are the most dangerous and unsalvageable ones - because they have adjusted to misery for so long they start to actually enjoy it.

When a person can't stop themselves from gambling, it becomes an addiction that takes over their life.  They lose all self-control and can't walk away, even when the consequences are piling up.  This dangerous spiral impacts not just the gambler, but their whole family and  it's why they say this addiction has ruined so many lives - once it sinks its hooks in the damage spreads.   

Ive seen good folks reduced to desperation after emptying their accounts in casinos or at online poker tables night after night.  They keep chasing that win, thinking this time will pay off all their debts from the last losses and then some.  Families torn apart, jobs lost, hopes dashed - it's a sad story that plays out again and again. 

So if you ever feel that itch to risk it all for a big payout walk away.  Enjoy a little entertainment now and then, but don't get pulled into the vortex.  Your people need you, probably more than you know.  Don't let them down.
