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.

- 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.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/14/father-of-two-luke-ashton-suicide-was-preceded-by-gambling-sprees-coroner-told
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
People who are addicted are going to do anything thats possible to be able to gamble day after day. Lie, steal, cheat, or whatever. Nothing is out of the realm of possible.
-
That scenario is quite alarming to me but not only being gambling addict do that because even competitions in gambling industry has that kind of violence or crime especially here in my country wherein POGO operators kidnap other operators workers then trade though the authorities have apprehended some of these operators and still they had an ongoing pursuit for this kind of activity as it is a national security threat since most of the involved individuals in this are foreign nationals.
-
It is quite unfortunate that such a thing could happen. Well, I am not surprised to hearing such a news because what ever thing of such nature involving an addict can be true as gamblers that are addicted can go to any length to do whatever pleasese them so as to satisfy their gambling urge.
In this case, this grandpa made a big mistake of his life because his granddaughter would never forgive him for doing such to her just to put his children on pressure as to release funds for him for gambling.
At this point, he needs rehabilitation so as to curtail his gambling addiction. Possibly his children had discovered that he is addicted and might have tried stoping him and might also have cut or stopped his allowance which must have prompted him from committing such crime of kidnapping his grand child and using her as a bait to get at his child to send him money so he could continue with his gambling lifestyle.
I think sentencing him to prison can not only be the solution to this situation but while serving his prison terms, he should undergo rehabilitation or transformation so as to enable him to away his gambling addiction lifestyle. I believe this could help better and also if it is possible to have such as a law it could be of good help.

One of the danger of gambling, it's mislead the young youth, it's create enemity between two friends at times Young addicted gambler do steal money to stake just to satisfy their needs all in name of making money after win some of them abuse money by clubbing at teenage age lodge in hotel rooms and many more some do visit fortune teller just to become famous in gambling, the side effects of visiting fortune teller might lead them to sacrifice their love ones which might be their own biological parents or siblings

They can no longer think normally, because their minds are controlled by addiction which makes them do everything they can to fulfill all their ambitions to gamble, this is the most dangerous situation for a gambling addict.
They no longer care about the consequences of what they do, they will definitely commit any crime to get money. They will not hesitate any longer and might even take someone's life.
-
It is good to quit gambling if you cannot control your gamble addiction to avoid you doing incredible and crazy things just to chase your losses due to addiction. This is among one of the worst story that I have come across due to addiction. Gamble responsible, and if you don't have money to gamble leave it for another day. Only gamble with little amount of money to avoid doing crazy things.

Absolutely, you bring up some serious concerns about the consequences of gambling, especially for the youth. However, it's important to remember that gambling itself isn't inherently bad but can reveal underlying issues in a person's approach to decision making and self control. These situations often act as a wake up call, showing that there might be deeper psychological factors at play. Addressing these underlying issues can lead to healthier behaviors not only in gambling but in all aspects of life. It's about understanding and managing one's behaviors and impulses in a constructive way.

Unfortunately, stopping gambling is not very easy to do, the addictive nature that is embedded in the brain will make us continue gambling, no matter how small it is, we will still try to place bets.

Yes, if the gambler cannot predict his betting attitude by himself then he can never stop gambling. I have even seen people who gamble behave differently when they don't bet. Until a gambler realizes himself, he will never be able to quit gambling and he will never be freed from its addiction. A gambler can be freed from such condition only if his intelligence and brain work properly. Gambling is not a source of income. This is how a gambler's addiction begins.
-
A lot of people don't realise that gambling can be really addictive and so requires approaching with extreme caution and carefulness to avoid getting addicted.
The story of the man who kidnapped his own granddaughter is a typical example of how far gambling addiction can make a man go, he was ready to go as far as kidnapping his own granddaughter and demanding for a ransom just so he could fund his gambling addiction.
This is why people must always approach gambling with Extreme caution because nothing good can come out of getting addicted. Just imagine the unnecessary pressure and mental stress he must have put the family through because of his addiction and inability to control himself.
-
Absolutely, your point is spot-on.Stories like the one you mentioned are tragic and highlight the extreme consequences of addiction. However, it's important to recognize that such extreme cases often involve underlying psychological issues and are statistically rare. Most people who gamble do so responsibly and have fun. This doesn't diminish the need for awareness and caution, but it does put the issue into perspective.
Why are you using an AI content generator to post on this space?
Is it that you do not realize that such actions are highly prohibited on this forum and go result to penalties being melted out on you.
It'll be better for you to quit this act, because the use of AI content generators are strongly frowned upon on this forum, you might not just be getting a warning next time, you might end up being an for AI usage and losing your account

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"
99% of this statement is true, someone who is addicted to gambling will definitely do whatever it takes, curiosity will always arise and without realizing they have spent a lot of money,
If we gamble responsibly, I guarantee that no one will be addicted to gambling on this earth, because gambling is only used as entertainment and fun when fatigue strikes.

But nobody can beat greed. This sin has been lasting for decades. To decrease gambling addiction, person must first change him mind and attitude towards gambling. Even if this is done for entertainment, some will be jealous to spend extra money. Even though it is hard to become really addicted (I believe that after person get broke, he stops gambling, only few people really return to catch losses), it will never be beaten.

An addicted gambler can't recover by himself. I believe that if an addicted gambler wants to stop gambling, they have 3 options. Going to an expert that can help them, going to a rehabilitation center, or ask for help from their relatives. Between the 3, the first one is I believe the most recommended because they're experts and for sure, they will help you decrease that addiction to gambling.
Greed really is one of the many reasons why many people are losing money in gambling. Aside from greed, there's lack of contentment as well because they don't know how to be contented with their winnings, and they want to win more money hence, they continue playing until they end up losing all of their money. At the end of the day, getting addicted to gambling is very hard to cure, and you need the help of either an expert, or family members.

Some stories are very pathetic and there are many of such stories which tells how bad it is to be an addicted gambler. Sentencing him is not enough but there should be a strong effort to deter gamblers from becoming addicted. He was sentenced not because of his addiction but because kidnapping is an offence against the State but I am of the opinion that the root cause should be tackled so that other addicts would be prevented from going an extra mile just to fuel their addiction.

You wont really be that getting addicted if you are really just that trying to play gambling for entertainment because shit things happen on the moment that you would really be trying out to make money with it because gambling isnt really that supposed to be on this way because it was that created for the sake of fun but due to that kind of approach towards gambling then
you would really be ending up on having that miserable life on the moment that money spending is already that out of hand. This is why you should really be careful on the actions
that you are taking and not really just that dealing up with things carelessly.

There are many ways to overcome gambling but they are difficult to do because if you are addicted to gambling this will cause problems especially if the person does not work there is no income while the gambler's expectations are too hopeful about casino games that they will end up doing anything including criminal acts to get money because of this gambling influence.

Addiction controls them amd they will have nothing in their head than to just keep gambling to recover their losses, and having hope that they will win huge amounts of money. They can sell their properties and gamble it all. I feel for the family and relatives of an addict because in one way or the other it will affect them directly or indirectly. Look at this old man Yuan that wanted to kidnap his own granddaughter. What if he succeeded but during the time of paying the ransom the girl dies. What will he say.

Yep. Gambling addiction is just as dangerous as drug addiction. Every gambler is at risk of developing a gambling addiction, and the best way to prevent it is not to gamble.
Hopefully, tragedies like this will not happen again and make us more concerned and important to recognize the signs of someone addicted to gambling, especially those in our immediate environment.

Addiction is not human nature. Humans can live without being addicted to anything. Anybody who gets addicted is based on how he has chosen to live and that shouldn't be attributed to human nature. Addiction is fueled by greed. When a gambler wants more he easily gets addicted.
Moderation is key. When a gambler is always moderate with his stake and his desired winning, he will hardly be trapped in addiction. So, in my opinion, a gambler shouldn't expect so much profit. An extra to a stake regardless of how little should be more than enough for a gambler. Build gradually, and you will eventually achieve your goal.

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.

Those are the people that does not know what they are entering , those people that being mislead by the idea of gambling is for them to be rich but do not understand what really awaits them inside gambling.
hundreds of people each year becomes addicted because when they enter gambling they are not being told to how gambling works if you are not aware of what will really comes.
foe me better to enter everything after digging and researching what is this all about because if not? you will be one of those who losses their life just because of stupid dream of becoming instant millionaire.

A lot of people don't realise that gambling can be really addictive and so requires approaching with extreme caution and carefulness to avoid getting addicted.
The story of the man who kidnapped his own granddaughter is a typical example of how far gambling addiction can make a man go, he was ready to go as far as kidnapping his own granddaughter and demanding for a ransom just so he could fund his gambling addiction.
This is why people must always approach gambling with Extreme caution because nothing good can come out of getting addicted. Just imagine the unnecessary pressure and mental stress he must have put the family through because of his addiction and inability to control himself.
People find ways to feed addictions it is simply human nature. sad but true.
There are many ways to overcome gambling but they are difficult to do because if you are addicted to gambling this will cause problems especially if the person does not work there is no income while the gambler's expectations are too hopeful about casino games that they will end up doing anything including criminal acts to get money because of this gambling influence.
Addiction controls them amd they will have nothing in their head than to just keep gambling to recover their losses, and having hope that they will win huge amounts of money. They can sell their properties and gamble it all. I feel for the family and relatives of an addict because in one way or the other it will affect them directly or indirectly. Look at this old man Yuan that wanted to kidnap his own granddaughter. What if he succeeded but during the time of paying the ransom the girl dies. What will he say.
Well that does represent a case of extreme insanity, because I say something, family is family and that is something that we should always take care of, it is a great treasure that when everyone helps each other it is a blessing, but what that old man did is very low, for gambling? I think there are things that should never be done, and one of those is such an atrocious act, I think that a person like that should get professional help quickly and if he doesn't have it or ask the government for help and have him quickly put in a detoxification program or something, but he has to act quickly because he is the type of person who is capable of tying people up just to satisfy his need to gamble.

What I observed is that gamblers always get motivated by other people's wins and this is where they are getting it wrong because that winner luck is not the same as yours. New gamblers allow themselves to be decieved by influencers who make them believe that gambling is a means of making profit because they are promoting a casino. Most of these influencers get their money from ads and not from what they show the public. This is why we should not gamble because of profit but for entertainment.

It's because the influencers can't influence people if they are making it look hard.
A man who also badly needs money happens to watch the video believes the influencer.

You're right. It will be so funny to tell people that gambling is hard coupled with evidence of losing ticket and still expect them to gamble. Most of the influencers are working for a bookie and so they make gambling a welcome call to get rich by displaying winning tickets and luxurious lifestyle with the intention of making individuals gamble.
Also, the pay these influencers receive from the bookies they represent is dependent on the number of persons who register using their promo code and this accounts for the reason they make gambling so juicy and easy.

It is because it's all staged to look so easy to win because the main intention is to lure more victims and young individuals are mostly the one's who are falling into this kind of trap. These people don't really care about others because they only care about the money they earn from the promotion. I think the fake ads were I think the reason that makes watchers an addict because they are seeking the easiness of the gambling game which don't actually existed.

Yep. Gambling addiction is just as dangerous as drug addiction. Every gambler is at risk of developing a gambling addiction, and the best way to prevent it is not to gamble.
Hopefully, tragedies like this will not happen again and make us more concerned and important to recognize the signs of someone addicted to gambling, especially those in our immediate environment.
Addiction can never be good be it gambling addiction or drug addiction. Any addiction can cause a person to lose control of himself. To be free from gambling addiction, one must stop gambling. But not everyone can give up gambling because many people enjoy gambling. Therefore, it is important to learn how to manage gambling to keep gambling under control. If we ask to quit gambling it is not a solution. Controlled gambling can be effective in this concern.

Sounds easy when said but very difficult when implemented
While this concept seems good in theory, its practical application often proves challenging.
And it's important to remember that not everything we like is good for us, and not everything we dislike is bad for us.
However, your body is your rule, the ultimate authority on what is good for it and what is not is yourself.

Absolutely correct mate, gambling addiction isn't something you wake up in the morning and decide to quit, it takes process and at first it might seem impossible because you mind has already synchronised with the thought of addiction but consistency in remembering you goals keeps you focus on achieving it. Sometimes our mistakes are what really moulds our thinking and mentality almost all gamblers at some point begin to feel addicted by making some irresponsible decisions, it's fine to make bad decisions in life but the greatest flex is learning from them and keeping far from attempting those mistakes.

True, addiction in whatever area or dimension is a disorder. As soon as a person is addicted he loses the power to control himself and become controlled by his addiction. For instance, an addicted gambler will hurt himself by trying to satisfy his gambling urge and then vow never to gamble again but in the next minutes he is on his way to gamble or opening his online app to gamble. This is so because he is controlled by his addiction.
Addiction is difficult to overcome regardless of the individual. All addicted gambler is facing challenges trying to quit gambling. This is why it is best to be guided against addiction than trying to overcome it. All gamblers should understand moderation and avoid gambling with greed. Don't gamble hoping to become wealthy overnight. Such intention will certainly create problems for the gambler.

Addiction is even more problematic than we think it is. Only an addict understands the difficulties he faces. Sometimes we believe the addict has control over himself, but he does not. He will continue to gamble because he lacks discipline. Once a gambler is addicted, he loses control of his gambling behavior. Let us put it this way: if a blind man is allowed to walk, he will undoubtedly face danger unless he has additional support. This is true for addiction; unless an addict is helped to overcome his addiction, he will continue to struggle because he has lost the ability to discipline himself.

Addiction is very bad and I don't think that it is easy for an addicted gambler to overcome his addiction at once, because it has eaten deep into his mentality. The only thing the addict knows is to gamble with whatever he can lay his hands on. This is why anyway in which a gambler can prevent himself from being addicted should be done. Imagine that you have your senses but you don't have control over it because you are being controlled by dopamine.

An addicted gambler will go to great lengths to gamble, such as borrowing money or selling property. That's how bad it is. To him, his existence is predicated on gambling, which is why he is not content until he has lost everything within his grasp at the time and then regrets his actions. Only for him to begin looking for ways to accumulate funds in order to begin another gambling session.
I agree with you. An addicted gambler has senses, but they are dysfunctional because he has lost all sense of rationality. This is why social media and our society are inundated with the wrongdoings of addicted gamblers. Thus, there should be a crusade to educate gamblers about the importance of not becoming addicted.

You are right, they become unable to think healthily which in the end makes them continue to follow their ambition to continue gambling, and this has a bad impact on themselves.
The problem that is happening now is that gambling has become something very commonplace, how I see almost every gathering there is someone gambling. And that indirectly introduces and maybe will make other people interested and in the end they will also gamble.

The issue with influencers is very complicated because basically when it comes to attracting an audience they show what people want to see, what people want to do, for example make money, everyone is looking to make money, and when a person sees that it can be profitable in a game, or in games of chance with their bets, that obviously draws attention because everyone says that it is possible and that what they have had is bad luck, that is why for this type of things you have to be very careful when it comes to spending money, and the main thing is that, taking care of your money because there is nothing more important in any Casino.

Previous weekend I was abroad, spend some time on a crowded street filled with restaurants, cafe's and claw machine, shooting range, plinko (machine were you throw coins) and things like that. Noticed that I am not very addictive to such kind of gambling. I have made around 5 attempts to get a plushie toy, failed all of them and nothing triggered me to continue. However, such place was always crowded with people. Touristic street. Their money turnover must be unbelievable. But, I have noticed, when people won a prize, they dont continue gambling there.

I have read many stories about how hard it is for relatives of gamblers to live next to those who could not cope with their addiction and began to ruin the lives of others. At the same time, trust is broken, money is spent on casinos, and not on family needs, and this is terrible.
Therefore, my main conclusion is this: gambling is not dangerous for the whole society, but it is very destructive for those who are friends or family of an addicted gambler. And I feel sorry for such people, I hope they will always overcome the circumstances.

Gambling is not inherently bad. The gambler determines whether gambling is good or bad. When a gambler becomes addicted, it affects his entire family. If he is a dependant, he is likely to steal to satisfy his gambling addiction. If this dependant is a student, he is more likely to gamble with money intended for his education, which will cause problems for his parents.
Similarly, where people rely on the gambler, this becomes a problem because funds that should be used for the family are diverted to gambling, and neglecting his home becomes unavoidable. Cases like this are why some societies frown on gambling, which eventually becomes a societal problem.

not only will it cause problems for his parents, it will most likely ruin his future of course i am not saying that if you fall into addiction there is no more hope for you however by getting into an addiction you are making your life harder than necessary and you are causing yourself to suffer for only temporary happiness
Cases like this are why some societies frown on gambling, which eventually becomes a societal problem.
society thinks that it is unavoidable if you gamble once you’ll fall into addiction is what their mindset it but i have met many who were able to walk away from gambling before losing too much

I think that no matter how much we would like to believe that we come to gambling to play only for emotions, but greed takes hold of each of us and it is impossible to avoid it. Of course, a lot is written here about self-control, but it is harder than it seems. Imagine: each of us has dreams that are not destined to come true because they require a lot of money. But a sudden win at the casino can make each of us look at this win and understand that his dream has become reality! And of course, then any person will become much more important, because he will understand that here and now he has the power to change his destiny thanks to the casino.

I can relate to this one because we have a neighbor that's pretty much addicted to gambling. It affected his relationship with his daughters, his wife and even his own family. Right now, he's nowhere to be found now (and I don't know if he's still alive), but I would say that gambling addiction really can ruin ones life and he's the best example of it.
Therefore, my main conclusion is this: gambling is not dangerous for the whole society, but it is very destructive for those who are friends or family of an addicted gambler. And I feel sorry for such people, I hope they will always overcome the circumstances.
Gambling is only a tool. The effects of it to the person is what makes it dangerous. Gambling can change a person negatively and can destroy lives in an instant. An addicted gambler that has little to no help from other people will stay addicted and as long as he's addicted, he will find a way to have some money even if they need to do bad things or worse, crime. Like you, I feel sorry for those people who got affected by their gambling addiction negatively, but that's the consequences of their wrong decisions.

right, the dangerous ones are individuals who spread the disease of gambling addiction in their family environment, I have a friend whose husband is a gambling addict, because his wife was annoyed with her husband who always gambled online, she ended up playing online gambling and until now their property has been used up by online gambling which is currently rampant

lucky that the guy still is alive and the wife didn't just cut his throat and move on with her life. she joined with him instead which is quite rare for anyone who already not giving his wife the right attention. she loves him though. i have some doubts to online gambling to be addictive but if they pay the monthly subscription for the internet access, there must have been a level of success.
if they both do crimes and kidnapped someone for money, i'm sure the other one is there following orders. we've seen this happened already. the sanity not intact.

Kidnapping in exchange with cryptocurrency is very common nowadays depending on their victims though this is not about addiction because these acts are being operated by syndicates and they are in my country that happened recently involving foreign nationals. That is why we need to be careful at all times because things will just happen so fast that sometimes we may not be able to realize it happened.

Wow, those kinds of relationships are very dangerous and even toxic because as a player you have to have your limits and it's obvious that many things can't be Risked, least of all the place where you live, I mean, you have to start from the fact that it's a game, that we must master the game, not that the game masters us, if there's not enough mental control, I think everything will get out of control and that's the worst thing that can happen, therefore, for a person who is already experienced in the game and doesn't have control, this kind of thing is what haunts them, and that should be avoided at all costs.

An addicted gambler not only harms himself but also harms others. There are many gamblers who are addicted to gambling they start to borrow money and at some point they run away when they cannot repay that money. Because of that addicted gambler, his family suffers. In some cases the gambler's relatives are also victims. It is not a problem if the gambler is financially harmed by gambling but when he becomes an addicted gambler the chances of harming others through him increases.

Has anyone here suffered from gambling addicted person? I see that many either read, saw or heard how crazy gambling addicted people act. However experiencing and only knowing about mad things that gamblers have done are two different things. Not much of a gambling guy, but in my entire life, I havent experienced madness from gambling addicted, nor havent done anything myself. In fact, I havent faced gambling addicted person in my entire life.

A gambler does not need to be addicted to understand that gambling addiction is harmful. From stories and the message such stories convey to individuals is enough to deter a gambler from becoming addicted. Do I have to involve in an accident before I know that accident is capable of taking life? Even bookies always warn gamblers to gamble responsibly, knowing the consequences of not doing so.

I have seen and know some who have fallen into gambling addiction, but in physical casinos, because it is more obvious , sometimes Online casino players are not recognized as easily, on the other hand, physical casino players when they run out of money are there hanging Around to see how they can participate in some casino game and get someone to sponsor them, it is very common, they become friends with someone and that is how they get in , of course at the end of the day is where one realizes that every money they get they spend there, it is very sad Really.

I have seen and know some who have fallen into gambling addiction, but in physical casinos, because it is more obvious , sometimes Online casino players are not recognized as easily, on the other hand, physical casino players when they run out of money are there hanging Around to see how they can participate in some casino game and get someone to sponsor them, it is very common, they become friends with someone and that is how they get in , of course at the end of the day is where one realizes that every money they get they spend there, it is very sad Really.
Well said! Online addict are not easily seen because online gambling covers their activities and so even close friends cannot even tell the rate of their addiction because what they do is not open. This is only known when a lot of damage have been done to the gambler like selling physical properties just to keep up with the urge to gamble. Other times when a gambler starts borrowing from friends unnecessarily, then there will be suspicious and his friends and family will start tracing what's wrong with the gambler. It is at this point they might find out but it is late.
This is not the case with offline gambling as you noted. Gambling in offline shops is open to other gamblers or passerbys and so it is very easy to send signals to the gamblers family for quick intervention. Some shops might restrict such gambler from gambling especially when his gambling is becoming problematic to other gamblers.

You cannot imagine what a person can do if his/her gambling addiction is not controlled they would do anything just to get money to continue their gambling addiction which leads to illegal actions, especially in the example where he kidnaps his daughter for ransom money. While we can control our gambling we must balance it and not be devoured by greed because gambling is very risky and the odds are less.

Has anyone here suffered from gambling addicted person? I see that many either read, saw or heard how crazy gambling addicted people act. However experiencing and only knowing about mad things that gamblers have done are two different things. Not much of a gambling guy, but in my entire life, I havent experienced madness from gambling addicted, nor havent done anything myself. In fact, I havent faced gambling addicted person in my entire life.

They do really have those main differences but we do know that when it comes to this aspect on which neither offline or online, it would really be that potentially making someone
to get addicted with it and thats why it would really be that important that you should be having that kind of control when it comes to things on which we know that on the
moment that you would really be doing gambling then there's really that the potential on making yourself that getting addicted specially if you dont have that good control.

It is greed that often lead most gamblers into becoming addicts, if only each and every gambler can learn to be contented and absolutely quite being greedy for more wins which also translates for more money, it is often said that too much of everything is bad, so also, being too greedy in gambling, which in turn results to gambling much more than considered normal, is sure one of the quickest ways to addiction to gambling, and I hope people interested in gambling will realized this beforehand and be conscious of at all times and avoid touring that path.

In my opinion, an addicted person is a disordered person. Such a person suffers from mental and behavioral disorders. Gambling addiction is a mental disorder in the sense that the gambler cannot think rationally. All he considers is gambling. Furthermore, such a gambler may be considered a person with a behavioral disorder in the sense that their actions are abnormal. He behaves in a way considered abnormal simply because he allows his impulse to control his actions and so for a person who is a gambling addict it becomes glaring that all he will do will be gambling related. He doesn't bother about the implication of his action but can rather go to any length or do anything as long as he can gamble.

Most people don't realize that gambling is actually a mental disorder, why do gamblers still continue to play more games even after winning over and over again?? You might simply say it's greed but I disagree with that because most addicted players derive satisfaction from winning and losing, it doesn't matter what the end result of the bet they just want to satisfy the urge of gambling that might end up having detrimental consequences to them, anyone going through this should seek guidance and therapy

It's not always like that, personally I like to play , and in every case I'm honest with you I have more negative balance than positive balance throughout my life as a player, even so I take the game as a way to relax, something that at any moment can get you out of any problem if you want to have a different time , but the trick is to Manage your money well, not get carried away by emotions and have a Solid plan , the most common is to put the money willing to lose, if you win well, you Withdraw the money, if you lose you assume until another game session, so with these simple bases one leads a good life.

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.
I don't know how true this is but some people believe that gambling addiction is a mental disorder especially when it gets to this point where any other thing doesn't matter apart from just looking for how to get money to gamble, this is very disheartening because this addiction takes away your prospects, puts you in debt and makes you unproductive. Gamblers are also humans they don't just decide to abandon their families, but they are suffering from the inability to put themselves under control

It is true that gambling addiction falls into the category of mental disorders or more precisely called addictive disorders, those who suffer from this disorder do not have full power over themselves and their own minds, they are fully controlled by the ambition to win which in reality is only defeat that they continue to get.
It is not easy to be able to stop this, therefore, for anyone who suffers from this disorder, it is highly recommended to immediately go to a psychologist so that the right treatment can be obtained.

Addiction is clearly a mental disorder. It is based on observations made by gambling addicts rather than what others have said. An addicted gambler will say he will not gamble again, but as soon as he receives money, he will resume gambling.
Every day, such a gambler wishes to gamble, regardless of whether he has money or not. This desire is so strong that an addicted gambler is unable to resist. Even when his mind is not on board, his actions do not reflect this because he has no control over them.

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.

This is really pertetic story to come by that an elderly man like that will go to the extent of kidnaping his own granddaughter to get money just to gamble it is very bad and he should be kept in prison for as long as the law wants , gambling addiction is something that those involved in gambling should really check and control as it has some negative consequences which can push you into doing things that will put you into trouble if you don't have the money at that present point in time

It's crazy that a grandfather would kidnap his own granddaughter just to keep gambling. Gambling addiction can seriously mess with people, and it shows how important it is to stay in control. He definitely deserves to be punished for what he did.

If we fight and sanction victims of gambling addiction, we should also consider fighting and sanctioning the root cause of the addiction. Many people believe that as long as they have money, they must gamble because they derive pleasure from gambling without realizing that they are gradually developing addiction.
However, when they run out of money to gamble, they realize that they cannot live without gambling and begin to look for ways to raise money to gamble. At this point, they can do whatever they want without worrying about the implications of their actions. If we must solve the problem of addiction then bookies must be ready to forego some profits by ensuring that an account must be restricted after spending certain amount and time gambling.

This your idea is good but really hard to implement because gambling companies are profit oriented and so should not be held responsible for the addiction of gamblers because gambling is for those who are mentally mature enough to go into it so the measure's that your proposing about restrictions of bet's accounts when it's reaches a particular amount of money used in gambling will not actually work

He stressed that yes it does require many approaches to managing the impact of gambling, players, companies and the regulators. That is why different gambling companies are oriented on making money, but the creating of some mechanisms such as spending limit reminders or pause features can help players themselves and no one can forced them to stop immediately. The primary rest remains with the players but with such support structures in placed one does not have to gamble irresponsibly and unsafely. We can try to fund creative approaches to game design that will let players be creative while still keeping gambling as safe. This is evidence that it is possible for everybody to contribute to making an environment in which we do not inflict more damage than is necessary to society while maintaining the fundamental character of the business.

This is an already-dead solution because the bookies are unconcerned about gamblers' wellbeing. The bookies even celebrate stories of gambling addiction because they profit from it, and such a solution would limit the quantity of cakes (profit) they eat, so they would not want it implemented. The fact that new bookies appear on a daily basis and pay exorbitant amounts for advertisements to reach a larger audience demonstrates how profit-driven the bookies are.
Even when bookies are banned from a country they don't relent. They continue to put pressure on the government of the country to allow them to resume operations. This is because the harm caused by gambling is not their primary concern; rather, they are more interested in making profits and expanding their tentacles. This is why the gambler should be his army, ensuring that he does not fall victim to gambling.

The reality is that someone who is addicted has an unhealthy mentality where they justify any means to be able to gamble, without seeing the risks they will face in the future, someone who is addicted will find it difficult to improve even in rehab, they will only stop during rehab if they leave they will go back to gambling

I think deep down, they know what they are doing is wrong, but they don't control it. The urge to keep gambling is so strong that they end up ignoring everything.
They can no longer think clearly, because their level of dependency is so high. They keep gambling, even though on the other hand they may regret it when they lose, but it keeps happening.

A question to all, have you experienced gambling addiction or faced gambling addicted people? One thing is to read stories in the internet or watch on TV. The other thing is to be familiar with such a person personally, or knew that a person you saw right now is addicted. And if you really know such people, have you heard what mad things they have done?
One important moment: in small local casinos, usually with slots, there are lot of people who addicted from alcohol and they regularly gamble (because they think that this is a fastest way to get new money for alco). I dont consider such people as gambling addicted.

Gambling addition can even make you kidnap your own self. A gamble addict is few minutes away from madness.
A gamble addict can do anything for money, he can kill, kidnap, steal and even rape. If you have a relative who's a gamble addict the best thing to do is take him/her to a rehab.

I have interacted with friends who are gambling addicts, it is actually difficult to persuade them to leave that world, because for them what they are doing is very good, they do not see the casino as an addiction, that is to say, some of them do not know the tremendous size of the problem they are in, and they do not care that they are in the casino all day, for them that is something normal , it is difficult to understand the disagreements because if you speak badly to them about the game or something, they get very upset with us, sometimes it is hard to get them in, you have to find the perfect Strategy.
