The Madness of Gambling Addicts.

[macson]

A Shanghai man was sentenced to prison for kidnapping his own granddaughter so he could maintain his gambling addiction with the ransom money.

The kidnapping — orchestrated by a 65-year-old man identified only by his surname, Yuan — was first reported by the Shanghai Law and Rule Journal. The legal news outlet didn't specify when the incident occurred but wrote on April 18 that Yuan had just started serving his prison sentence.

Yuan kicked off his plan by picking up his four-year-old granddaughter from her kindergarten and taking her out to eat and shop without her mother's knowledge, the Journal reported.

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"

There are three licensing objectives which support the whole basis of gambling regulation:

- that crime should be kept out of gambling
- it should be conducted in a fair and open way
- children and other vulnerable persons should be protected from harm or exploitation from gambling.

Whoa, a reminder of how gambling can spiral out of control, affecting not just the gambler but their family too. Honestly, it’s heartbreaking. But, it also strengthened my commitment to gamble responsibly.
It's a vivid reminder to enjoy gambling as entertainment, keeping it fun and safe.
There's a balance to be found, and I'm positive that with awareness and moderation, we can all enjoy gambling without negative consequences.

Yeah, this is one dangers of gambling and we all know that, even worst, gamblers may take their life after losing.

A gambler was making as many as 100 bets a day online and had previously accumulated £18,000 in debts before he took his own life, the first inquest of its kind has heard.

Everyone is really vulnerable, and we really need to take hold of our life before things get out of hand and we made decisions that we might regret later or decisions that will haunt our families.

The effect of gambling is really dangerous. Even an elder man wasn't able to think of what was right and wrong. The only thing he could think of was how he was able to provide for his gambling addiction. The sad thing is, this is his granddaughter that were talking about, and the trust of the child and his family was lost because of this.

Even the elderly, with a lot of experience in life, may still end up in this kind of situation. We better extend our hands to those family members we know we might think of having a gambling addiction.

But that fucking psychopath doesn't have a gambling problem, he's just a psychopath and doesn't care about anything. He has done this to keep gambling but he could have done it just as well if he was a drug addict to pay for the drugs or simply to maintain a high standard of living. Many of us gamble and would not be able to do anything remotely similar, even among those with gambling control problems.

I have came across this news then and I found it so bad for a grandpa to have his own granddaughter kidnapped just because he wanna satisfied his gambling desires and of a truth most times when someone is too addicted to a particular thing it causes problems and for that, will lead to many destruction over the man's life and family, who knows how regular he has been doing this for his life or do we know if he has already have someone else kidnapped at the cause to satisfy his gambling addition. We should try as much to reduce our attention to thing that could make us got addicted into by regularly doing it.

[electronicash]

that thread extended up to more than 100 pages in the other forum and then you restart it over again here. i think all the people in the forum already posted a reply on it. i can't remember what i said in that thread anymore.

but i'm sure we all agree how crazy grandpa turned. gambling is his motivation and so this is just one cause and effect of gambling addiction. but there are other grandpa also that turned kidnapping not for gambling actually but thats another story.

So many people aren't really aware of the danger that an addicted act in gambling can cause and that's why many people still indulge themselves so deeply forgetting that the act is really crazy and anyone who puts his whole mind on it can actually get hurt and might even regret.the actual first step he took in ever knowing about gambling.

Gambling had alot of addict that have lost their life to the course of actual chasing over their loses and believe you definitely don't want to be at the end of the opposite results when it comes to Gambling and chasing of winning.

[LogitechMouse]

I read the article, and it was just horrible how gambling can affect one's lives.
He even neglects his businesses for the sake of gambling. He even suffered hunger because of gambling. Worse is the main topic of the thread which is kidnapping his granddaughter for the sake of gambling.

I didn't saw your thread on the other forum but nevertheless, it just shows how gambling can change a person especially those who are addicted. To those gamblers out there, stop immediately or you might get addicted into it, and you might make some horrendous mistakes like the one OP has shared "AGAIN". We can say negative things about the gambler, but it's pretty much useless anymore.

I will also add the fact that there are many influencers on different social media platforms who are promoting gambling websites on their pages. I hope that nobody here will get attracted or get curious on the website, will try it and get addicted on it.

psychopath, what you say is absolutely correct, he only uses the excuse of wanting to fight to cover up his thoughts which actually lead to psychopaths

This is the first time I've heard of a grandfather who had the heart to use his own grandson to blackmail his own child, it's really a crazy story, the child's mother should make a report to the police, the old grandfather really should be jailed

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"

When someone has been exposed to or entered the circle of gambling addiction, it will be very difficult for them to escape from gambling activities. Usually, they will engage in excessive gambling, without careful thinking, it is difficult to stop even though they have lost, and they also have a high level of curiosity. As a result, when someone is addicted to gambling, a person will continue to be addicted to whatever gambling happens, and cannot just stop gambling.

The problem is, these addicted gamblers usually won't win and won easily, because they are more likely to just follow their burning emotions to place a position, without careful consideration. whereas they may not be able to have continuous luck. That's why all addicted gamblers will experience very high losses, even going bankrupt, and sometimes they don't even realize it.

So, this is the importance of financial and emotional management when gambling. Don't just be curious and follow it continuously. With addiction, it has become an addiction which will be very difficult to cure, usually it requires special treatment to handle and treat it. So, don't let us get caught up in gambling addiction because whatever it is, it is very dangerous and troublesome.

When you identify an individual as an addict, it is best for you to believe that they are capable of anything just to be able to fuel and maintain their gambling addiction. You need to be careful of them and always try to second think whatever the decision consigning money that they offer because an addicted gambler will rarely be money credible. Gambling addiction just like many other addictions can make a moral person do immoral things because the person has lost the sense of control that they have.

It is said that those who lose gambling do not suffer much but those who try to recover the lost money suffer the most in real life. There will be wins and losses in gambling but in some cases losses may outnumber wins which the gambler simply has to accept. There are some gamblers who are addicted to gambling and cannot consider anything outside of gambling even if they lose more money than they think gambling is necessary to recover that money.

When it comes to gambling it an endless stupidity, gamblers will do stupid things and crazy things and we can write volumes of books on their stupidity, we know that a gambler is not gambling responsibly when he does stupid things, that he will realize how foolish those things when he is sober and fully recover from his addictions.

When a person becomes addicted to gambling, he is not like a normal person. Then he does not hesitate to do any work for gambling. The person referred to here is a gambling addict whose gambling consumed him to such an extent that he did not hesitate to kidnap his own granddaughter. But I definitely support the sentence given to him by the court because he was sent to jail if he was not sent to jail then maybe he would not have hesitated to kill people. But everyone should take a lesson from this because young children should never be sent to kindergarten school or hang out with gambling addicts because a gambling addict can do any despicable thing for money.

It is better for every person to gamble responsibly if one cannot gamble responsibly then he should quit gambling. A fixed budget of income should always be used for gambling. Income should never be used for gambling outside of the specified budget.
