Why do people keep misbehaving because of gambling?

[Penlex_Writer]

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.
