The Madness of Gambling Addicts.

[0t3p0t]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
