The Madness of Gambling Addicts.

[philipma1957]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Most of these influencers make gambling look too easy to win and make money from, and naive and ignorant people end up falling foe their traps, they end up thinking that these set of people actually get their money from gambling and not really knowing that they get their money from the traffic they generate online through posting those contents to lure people into their pages.

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.

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.
