Title: Why do people keep misbehaving because of gambling?
Post by: DragonF on March 02, 2024, 02:47:30 AM
I have observed that gambling is creating problems in the streets and people no longer have value for human life. I will tell a story to justify my claim. This is a true life story and it happened in my area. A man was given six draws in football to stake on by his friend. The man went home to collect 1,000 Naira but on reaching home his wife had already used the money. The man didn`t complain initially but in the evening at about 10 pm his friend called him that he won the game and the winning amounted to a million plus in naira and immediately he dropped the call, he started beating his wife and abused her saying that he lost 1m naira because of her. This incident happened on Wednesday but I needed to take a picture of the woman to show how terrible it was.

I think this man should be jailed and use as a scape goat to deter others from exhibiting such inhuman behaviour.

What do you think of the man`s action? What is the best way to punish the man?

I would assume that the 1,000 Naira was his own money and reserved it for gambling. I would be extremely disappointed as well if someone took the money I'm supposed to bet and then find out later that my picks actually won. We have a saying here that perfectly describes the situation and it's "Pera na naging bato pa". Having said that, I wouldn't lay a hand on anyone because of what happened.

What is the best way to punish the man?

What does the law in your country says?

This is a case of domestic violence and to know the stand of Nigerian Laws on domestic violence, I will note some relevant sections of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and the Violence Against Person Prohibition Act, 2015. Section 34 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution stipulated that every individual is entitled to respect for the dignity of his/her person and accordingly no person shall be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment.

Section 19 (1) of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act, 2015 stipulated that “a person who batters his or her spouse commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a term of imprisonment not exceeding 3 years or to a fine not exceeding 200,000 Naira or both”.  Also, subsection 2 stipulated that “a person who attempts to commit the act of violence provided for in subsection(1) of this section commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a term of imprisonment not exceeding 1 year or to a fine not exceeding 100,000 Naira or both”.

Does the woman in the picture have consent that his picture will be posted on the internet if he is not then better to take the picture out, and about the punishment, it depends on the existing laws in the country where it happens, but morally it's wrong to hurt a woman whatever the circumstances are, especially if it happens to be your wife and a mother of your children, your children will hate for hurting their mother and you will not get the respect from your children.
Family is more important than money you, money cannot equal the importance of respect by your family.

That man is an animal, how could someone beat a woman like that? Only a psychopath or a mad person can do that. In fact I believe he's not a man because a man respects woman, a good and gentleman always take care of his wife rather than beating her. I feel really sorry for that woman, I believe such person with animal like behavior should be jailed.

There are so many people who are into gambling but none of them beat their wives like that. Yeah, I know sometimes addicts can get angry but they never beat women like that. In very rare cases someone can lose his control because of gambling and go to extremes like that. In fact, most of the time gamblers try to hide their gambling activities from their family.

Yeah got your point, the highlighted part above is to be honest very disappointing  but it doesn't need to go that far on beating the love of your life just because of missing that luck in gambling. Here in our country we are liable of physical injury and of course the anti-violence against women and children if we are doing such thing to any members of our family.

I looked at the picture and I said to myself "I will forever thank our creator because I didn't grow up abusing women." That's straight-up abuse just because of gambling.

Gambling can make a person's mind bad. Money can change somebody's attitude. I can't imagine somebody has the guts to do this to his wife just because he didn't win on that bet. Well as Zed0X said, there's a chance that the 1000 Naira is the abuser's money, and the battered wife used it to buy something maybe. I might disappointed for a bit as well if that happens to me, but not to a point where I will be doing something like that, especially to a girl.

Sorry for my words, but this is something a demon can only do. Beating your wife just because of money. Anyway as for the punishment, it will depend on the current law in your country. You can seek help from an attorney that you know or go to the police. You said it's a true story, and it happened in your area so maybe help the battered wife. Advance thanks :).

Because psychologically, gambling shows all the emotions in the person's soul. Which of course is influenced by whether the results of agmbling are good or bad. The worse the results, the more emotional it will be, you will get angry easily, your emotions will be unstable, and it could even end in criminal cases.

On the other hand, if gambling activities can provide a lot of money, then it will make someone even brighter. But if we look at their faces, there will definitely be changes in their emotions and stability.

Why do people keep misbehaving because of gambling?

Why do people keep generalizing stuff and put a label on millions just from a few cases?
How would it be if I would say why do Nigerians keep beating their wifes for $100?
See how this goes?

For every gambler that beats his wife because of a bet there are 100 that do it just because she was late or she said the wrong words at the table or anything like this, but, yeah, let's make an example out of gambling. If some think this happened just because of gambling and it's the first time your living in a mirage, most women that finally come in the open about their beatings are way up at counting the abuses against them some linger for years hoping for something else before going public or to the police.

I would be extremely disappointed as well if someone took the money I'm supposed to bet and then find out later that my picks actually won. I wouldn't lay a hand on anyone because of what happened.

So you're not going to use your hands...

I agree, gambling greatly affects emotions, and emotions depend on the results of the gambling they play, if they lose they will behave negatively and if they win they will tend to look very happy.

I have experienced it, yes at that time my friend lost in gambling, I tried to invite him to joke as usual. But what was his response? He got angry and didn't seem to accept my joke, even though it was something we usually do.

Yeah this happened to me as well. When we ask they don't answer and when we try to make them smile they get angry that is why I just stay away from them and I gave them time to cool down. It's natural to lose temper because we are just humans but other gamblers cannot control it and people around them might be affected. My friends and neighbors also involved in this scenario that sometimes resulted in quarrel and later on they use force to physically hurt each other and they ended up being picked up by police. Based on my observation this commonly happened in card games, cara y cruz, volleyball, cockfighting and basketball games here in my place.

It is difficult to rule out emotions from gambling. Gambling involves a complex interplay of psychological, emotional, and cognitive factors that can make it challenging for individuals to control their emotions when they experience losses especially when the gambler has gambled more than he expected.

Gamblers feel the pain of losses more strongly than the pleasure of equivalent gains. Gamblers may compare themselves to others based on their gambling performance and this can exacerbate emotional reactions and make it harder for gamblers to maintain self-control.

Indeed the man has done wrong because this woman is innocent, he should be brought under the law and punished for treating her inhumanly. It should trust the laws of the land of Nigeria to ensure that this woman gets due justice.  Gambling does not cause inhumane behavior if he is the right gambler. A person who is addicted to gambling must treat other people like animals. The more addicted a person is to gambling, the more likely they are to experience problems and harm. So gambling should be done regularly with less gambling participation and two to three days of retirement weekly. Gambling should not treat people inhumanely it is a punishable offence.

It's very funny to see someone regret when they fail to win something even when they weren't involved in it. I mean, why would he regret and get angry when he didn't bet, just because someone used his money? Is it possible that by being angry and being rude to his partner, he can make himself win? very stupid. Therefore, it is important for a gambler to be able to regulate their emotions and not be easily triggered by something, because if they don't then in the end something undesirable will happen.

Yeah, maybe I'll throw a roundhouse ;D Seriously speaking, I would probably lace up and hit the road for a 1-hour run or just go to the gym to blow off steam. That's better than going to jail for physical injury after already losing the opportunity to win some money.

I don’t see anything wrong with gambling. I think the reason people see gambling in a bad light is because of those gamblers who cannot control their emotions. Why do people tend to complain about individuals who create problems because of their inability to control their emotions never have I come across people praising those gamblers who can control their emotions regardless of how much they lose.

One silent truth about this is that exhibiting obnoxious behaviour because of losing doesn’t mean that you lost more than those who still maintain their cool. If we are opportune to see how much some gamblers lose they don’t harm themselves or others. So I think losing a bet can only trigger people to manifest their innate character.

Why do people keep misbehaving because of gambling?
Because they seem to believe that gambling is an easy way to make money and when it doesn't happen as they have planned, they become frustrated and violent to people around them that gambling is not giving them what they want "making cool money easily without stress".

Many gamblers have become monsters in human form with the way they act when lost to a bet. You dare not be the reason for their gambling loss,  because they will release their frustration on you for that.

I pity the wife of the gambler who got beaten like this because this is not the first time that her husband must have launched domestic violence on her countless times, based on being the reason behind his gambling loss and being his lucky charm to gambling.

The thing is, will the wife file charges on his husband? Or will the government themselves will do it if the wife doesn't want to.


I think in this case, the husband has obviously put the blame of his wife, his mind is clouded already and so he didn't have the right judgement that time as he is full of emotions and might be thinking what they could have do if they won that big amount.

So a lot of things have been running on the gamblers mind, and I think it could have been worst if he hasn't stop or someone has to step up in between. Just another sad stories though for women.

If she truly used his money without his permission she needed to be punished. But he over punished her.

How much time at work would she have to do to earn 1million.
How much can she earn in a day.
The proper punishment would be work it off.

If it is too much and she can’t earn it in a life time beating her does not fix her wrongful act.

1m naria is $647.50 USD. Maybe three or four days week.

how much time to earn it in Nigeria 🇳🇬 . Seems to be a months work.

So yeah that is a wicked beat down for losing a months salary.

That's a good step, it's better for us to avoid them for a while until their emotions stabilize again, because even if we force ourselves to stay there to help them, it might make things worse.

But we also have to look first, because other people usually need to be accompanied and calmed down, but when we stay with them for a while it will make them uncontrollable. If we are used to being with them, we should know what type of person they are.

No man should behave like this, can't beat his loved ones like this for a small amount of money. But here is another reason for this man to act like this, he put the money to gamble and by chance the bet won and he lost the bet due to lack of money and his frustration increased and he lost his sense of purpose. One person has done something wrong here, and I don't see any reason to involve gambling in it. Legal action should be taken against this man for beating his wife so badly.

How good is your hard earned money if you lose it in a moment.  If the money you worked hard to earn for a month disappears in a matter of minutes, it is normal for your brain to temporarily stop working properly. When we get good news, we can take good times compared to bad times, but when everything is negative for us, we cannot accept good things well, instead, at that time, we treat ourselves badly. If this is the case with you, then instead of losing money by gambling, you will gain money and you will see that this bad behavior will not happen again, then you will feel a lot of peace in your mind.

I think this incident was an isolated one because the beating was a result of the burst of emotions. The guy could already have millions if not for the woman who spent the money without his permission but still that reason would not spare him from the punishment that he have to face because of what he did to his wife.

The Human Right Body will intervene if they get to know about the matter. The woman doesn`t necessarily have to file charges against her husband before justice can be served.

I think in this case, the husband has obviously put the blame of his wife, his mind is clouded already and so he didn't have the right judgement that time as he is full of emotions and might be thinking what they could have do if they won that big amount.

There is no justification for commiting grievous bodily harm to others.

It's unfortunate but there are really some people who tend to blame others or direct their anger towards someone when they lose or fail to win money, particularly in gambling. This is a sad reality that we cannot change as it solely depends on human behavior. The only solution is to take legal action to seek justice in such situations.

Phil, look from the other side!
He was going to bet 1000 naira, that's 60 cents but the wife spent that!

So he didn't bet on that match because he didn't have 60 cents in the house!

Not sure how much 1000 naira is, but battering your wife over a small amount or whatever amount it is uncalled for , and besides if he can beat up the wife this way..I wonder what would happen if he lost this money to gambling , would he inflict self harm to himself because risk is always there in gambling... And I also think the friend is gaming him with these so called sure beats and should have asked for proof!!

Besides, in the world of gambling the basic rules day gamble with money you can afford to lose but what we have just see here clearly demonstrates the man can't afford it!!! Guys and girls when it comes to conflict there are better ways to resolve things, don't go for physical confrontation as this could get ugly and sometimes death!!!

It is actually for the misconceptions in our society. Most of the people in our society thought that the people who do gambling they are bad people in this case in some regions gambling is also illegal and the peoples things that who ever connected with gambling are criminals like they are drug addiction etc. And some people have the sick psycho they do the behaviour with the gambler they should be in under proper punishment.

It is such a sad outcome,  this thing shouldn't have resulted in this and as a matter of fact, it would have been better for the owner of the money to negotiate with the person who took the money without his knowledge to see how best he could give him or her some percentage of that money won,  but if the bet loses and he discovers that his own selection won at the end,  that will be a very disappointing incident since the memory will be that he lost not because he failed to select the luck bet,  but because someone else stole the money he was meant to bet with and at the end lose all at once.

But it shouldn't result in physical attacks such as in this case,  and the highest should have been to invite police or even Ender around to settle the issue for them and he should try to avoid such a person going forward.

Psychologists have always emphasized that individuals are different and so behave differently. Even Siamese twins don't behave the same way. So, gambling shouldn't be blamed for any misbehavior. Gambling can only trigger a gambler to show who he is but will not instill a new behavior in a gambler. Some people lose heavily but don't harm others so any gambler who harms another should be seriously dealt with.

I have observed that gambling is creating problems in the streets and people no longer have value for human life. I will tell a story to justify my claim. This is a true life story and it happened in my area. A man was given six draws in football to stake on by his friend. The man went home to collect 1,000 Naira but on reaching home his wife had already used the money. The man didn`t complain initially but in the evening at about 10 pm his friend called him that he won the game and the winning amounted to a million plus in naira and immediately he dropped the call, he started beating his wife and abused her saying that he lost 1m naira because of her. This incident happened on Wednesday but I needed to take a picture of the woman to show how terrible it was.

I think this man should be jailed and use as a scape goat to deter others from exhibiting such inhuman behaviour.

What do you think of the man`s action? What is the best way to punish the man?

This is just a result of lack of self control and this is something that most gamblers lack, as a gambler you must learn to control your impulses and stop giving in to your emotions, some gamblers smash their laptop or mobile phones out of anger when they are losing, they are cases where some of them beat up their spouse. It's better to find a way to keep off from gambling if it dictates how it makes you feel and react

One of the effects of gambling, especially addicted gamblers, is that addicted players will not feel satisfied with their game and they will wait to get money by any means for gambling. Oh yeah, usually, addicted gamblers have emotional disorders, especially for thinking clearly, they can't. Because it often occurs domestic violence in a household, violence or crime, and so on as one of the effects of addicted gambling.

Honestly, I really hate this kind of behavior which is certainly very detrimental in this case, the partner or closest people who are affected by the violence are brutal in order to get money or because they don't like the reprimands and suggestions.

Gambling is said to depend on luck and this is a prime example of that. People who gamble never know when they might win. This story once again proves that there is no profit in gambling unless luck is favored. The person who was advised to bet could not bet because of money if he could he would have won 1 million naira. He was instantly very disappointed. If his wife had not spent the money, he thought he could have won 1 million naira in the bet. He was very excited about missing out on such a great opportunity. But it was foolish to torture his wife for it. It could also be that he would have lost the money if he placed the bet. So it is better to accept fate. Of course he should apologize to his wife for this incident.

i have seen such cases where due to gambling friends have resulted to violence it’s unfortunate especially if it comes down to worst case scenarios

people with anger issues should not test their luck and gamble because they are just going to do more harm than good to others

A personnel of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has been accused of assaulting a shop owner, Mrs. Joy Owolabi, in Jos, Plateau state.

The incident which happened at the Nanmwa Junction, Abattoir area in Jos South local government area on Friday, September 2, left her with serious injuries on her eyes and other parts of her body.

According to Vanguard, before the Friday incident, the yet-to-be identified personnel came to the betting office next to the victim’s shop last month and parked his official motorcycle in front of Mrs Owolabi’s shop, blocking her entrance. She said she called his attention to re-park the motorcycle but she was allegedly ignored and an argument ensued.

According to the publication, on that Friday, the personnel returned to the betting shop with his colleague and parked his motorcycle in the similar manner that the woman complained about. The incident led to an exchange of words between him and the shop owner.

People tend to misbehave because of the negative effects of gambling and addiction which may result in a loss of control over their actions. As they chase losses and face mounting financial stress, desperation sets in, leading them to engage in unethical behavior such as lying, stealing, or deceiving family members. Prioritizing gambling over responsibilities and personal connections, which ultimately leads to further worsening in overall well-being.

It's only those who are called weaklings would raise their hands to hit their wives under no circumstances. A real man wouldn't think of such even when their wife uses their last money for something else. It doesn't warrant hitting her because they are the weaker vessel.

It's a shame for a man to hit his wife out of frustration of not betting on a bet given to him by his friend. If the bet was very important to bet on, why didn't he borrow the 1,000 naira from a friend or someone else? Does it mean he has no other 1,000 naira in his house or bank account?

This is a case of domestic violence, the wife of the man shouldn't take it lightly. If divorce is possible let her ask for divorce before the beast man has her killed before her time.

Because psychologically, gambling shows all the emotions in the person's soul. Which of course is influenced by whether the results of agmbling are good or bad. The worse the results, the more emotional it will be, you will get angry easily, your emotions will be unstable, and it could even end in criminal cases.

On the other hand, if gambling activities can provide a lot of money, then it will make someone even brighter. But if we look at their faces, there will definitely be changes in their emotions and stability.

If gambling outcomes can alter your emotional state then it has now become something that takes control of your brain, this can affect your mental health and cause a lot of damage. Just like you said people in this situation can find themselves been triggered easily when they are losing and do something they might end up regretting, this is a negative effect of gambling that should be avoided by every means necessary

That man is an animal, how could someone beat a woman like that? Only a psychopath or a mad person can do that. In fact I believe he's not a man because a man respects woman, a good and gentleman always take care of his wife rather than beating her. I feel really sorry for that woman, I believe such person with animal like behavior should be jailed.

There are so many people who are into gambling but none of them beat their wives like that. Yeah, I know sometimes addicts can get angry but they never beat women like that. In very rare cases someone can lose his control because of gambling and go to extremes like that. In fact, most of the time gamblers try to hide their gambling activities from their family.

Personally I think this Gross misconduct isn't a result of gambling addiction, I think he's using gambling as an excuse to justify his animalistic behavior and my reason for saying this is because he's not the only gambler in the world, gamblers make a lot of wrong choices that's true but they don't use all the frustrations they feel to beat up people. This is molestation triggered by other factors in my opinion

I think that's the form of his personality that is like that, then it is driven by other reasons that make him more daring in doing very cruel actions. Someone who is light-handed will be difficult to control because it is already inherent in them.

I am even sure that when they do not gamble but there are other reasons that can encourage them to do it, they will do it because basically they are humans who have very rough personalities like animals.

You are right, mate, the actual root cause why people misbehave because of gambling is resulted by the person's level of addiction and what causes the addiction is when the person sees gambling as a good source of income. Secondly, when someone doesn't have any sustainable job or a good income source and the person decides spend any little money they get on gambling, the person can easily get depressed and can misbehave when they experience lose.

Only irresponsible and immature people take out their frustration on others, even to the point of inflicting physical injuries on them. This is another case of an irresponsible gambler who is unable to control his emotions and making his family suffer for a result of his actions. If this man has children, they will grow up thinking that because of the behavior of their father, everyone who gambles is acting the same way, which is not a true statement but an assumption that some people can make based on their experience, this sort of experience.

Well, I guess you're right, most addicts do wrong things I agree but beating out ones wife isn't in the list of those wrong things. I think you're right, that man used gambling as an excuse to beat out the wife but it was actually his own animal type of nature that he was trying to hide behind gambling.

I believe such people should get punished for their such actions so they won't repeat such acts. But, what can we do other than saying, as in most area of the world such animalistic humans are not punished for their negative deeds and that's the reason they continue doing such things. Gambling addicts may perform such type of rage beating but not all addicts only the ones with animal kind of behavior.

Some people are beasts by nature, and even small things can cause them to exhibit their beast mode. Gambling does not shape or form a person's character, so whatever attitude a gambler displays is not due to the fact that he lost, but because it is in his nature, it is easier for him to transfer his aggression.

This is analogous to the saying that you can not give what you do not have, which translates to the saying that whatever a gambler displays is what is inside of him because any attitude that is not associated with him will not be exhibited by him regardless of the situation or loss.

Sometimes the aggression people exhibit in gambling isn’t necessarily because of the gambling, some people just naturally have an aggressive nature and attitude towards everything and not just just gambling, when faced with certain situations and maybe things fail to turn out in their favor, Their first attitude towards such situation is always to show and display some level of aggression, this is just their nature and have absolutely nothing to do with gambling. This is just in some cases, because it’s true that too much losses can instigate rage and anger in a gambler thereby prompting him to react in a repulsive and aggressive way towards the situation.

I believe there may be quite a number of reasons as to why a particular individual exhibits the level of extreme behavior. People will usually try to take particular situations for a scapegoat for different complications in their lives. For example, as for as stress is concerned, gambling really does worsen it, but, as for as aggressive behavior is concerned, there can be other personal problems which can cause the behavior. That is why one has to sometimes move beyond the surface and try to get to the bottom of things.

a man who hits his wife especially because of money is not a man at all and the wife should not expect him to change later on it might just get worse once he is capable of hitting her because of money, who can tell what he can do?

this kind of people have anger issues and can’t control the way they act which is just ridiculous considering they are adults and should have already known better i feel for wives and other family members who have fallen victims to domestic violence because of gambling and money issues

And the sad part of it is that such men might find it very difficult to change/amend their ways. This kind of gamblers are very difficult to counsel, because there are so obsessed with gambling and money. Just imagine a home, where the father is addicted to gambling, and threats the wife badly for one reason or the other. Such situations are practically why the society tends to have so many unhealthy children. Unhealthy, not just physically, but mentally and morally.

At the end of the day, the man who is fond of beating his wife, ends up making some drastic decisions, that sometimes sends the children to the street, which automatically increase crime rate in a country.

Should we call it misbehavior in terms of when other people were having fun while gambling and go weird about the way they are doing it, also, what some other people so called misbehavior isn't the same thing as what others may interpret it, because we have our individual preferences and likes, this differentiates us form what other people like as well as their own personal opinions.

That's part of the menace that needs to be curbed. A similar story happened in my own area. A man went to a virtual betting shop with his son, after the man made so many losses amounting to about seventy two thousand naira, that's after he lost the initial twenty two thousand naira he came with.

He beaconed on the betting agent to keep his son in Custody while he quickly runs home to get the seventy two thousand naira so as to offset his deficit. Long story short, it's 4 days and he hasn't returned. His son was later handed over to the police.

I think the man in the pathetic story you shared should be made to face the law
