stealing to gamble

[|MINER|]

a 21 year old stole around $170 USD (10 000 PHP) in a city in the Philippines and used it to gamble on an online casino he is now behind bars and he said that all the money has been spent gambling and some of it are distributed to his friends he blames hunger and poverty as a reason for why he stole money but i think he just really wanted to gamble because if he were truly hungry he would have used the money to buy food and other necessities instead did he think that he could double his money through gambling?

And from this incident, it is quite easy to understand that the person who stole $170 and said that he was hungry and poor as a reason for stealing is lying to just skipping the situation.
It is a very common case that a compulsive gambler later gets involved in crime because he cannot afford to gamble. I mean, I stole $170 just to feed my gambling addiction. If there were any other reason, he would have done those activities first or given more priority to that than gambling.

and they are all coins worth 10k PHP (170USD) lol  must have been very heavy to carry. he would have been a hero if he toss them up to the air like robinhood would do it for the hungry street kids.

that is how you know how determined he probably was to steal and get money most likely he did not count the coins and just took them away and when counted he realized it had amounted to 170 usd but like you said it would have been heavy to carry he was lucky that no one caught him right in the act because carrying that amount of coins can't be subtle

he looks skinny though. either he is into meth or really hungry but at the same time wants to double the money he stole by gambling. most probably he wants to impress his friends so he gave away some.

it could be both i mean poor people who can't afford to eat turn into drug addicts because drugs trick their brains into not feeling hungry so a lot of kids in my country can be seen inhaling addicting substance instead of buying food because maybe the drugs is a lot more sustainable/long lasting or cheaper than a proper meal

Whatever the reason stealing is a bad thing, I don't want to tolerate it, because when they dare to steal then there is something wrong with them. They say they are hungry or for others, wrong is still wrong.

This is also what I am worried about actually where someone can do anything to fulfill what they want not what they need. They will not see wrong or not, because there is a very strong urge.

If he really needed food he would have used the money for that but he chose to gamble it away so he probably has a gambling problem. Gambling addictions mess with people’s minds, making them think they’ll win big and fix everything, but it just makes things worse.

well i can understand hunger. if a person is just taught how to catch fish then he would try catching fish and cook it for himself.  the new generation of today however aren't taught this way. not all of course but many of them that lived in the city are even unaware that chickens are raised in a poultry house.

but obviously he isn't just literally hungry for food. vices as well. he needs to be detained to learn.

Well yeah, I can see that situation here in my place where they entrust their future with the luck in gambling that is the reason why they end up stealing other peoples property and stuff. This addiction is going too far as long as they are not getting what they wanted.

Stealing is wrong no matter how noble the reason is such as for buying food, and spend it on Gambling is much worse crime. People do stupid things and end up ruining their life completely so I wish anyone read such news will take it as a warning call and not to commit such no matter what situation we are in.

Addiction is something needs to be treated in right way but unfortunately not everyone aware of that or simply lack the financial help to do it.

LOL scatter again. I've watched some content creators making funny videos about how people are selling stolen items or selling their own body parts to have money to play that game. I find it entertaining but I know there's truth to it. This is probably a result of too much freedom to gamble or access these games.

Stealing is the product of the pressure of life, but we also need to see that every action is followed by consequences that must be met. So in this case one needs to be able to draw from that incident and come up with a better solution next time around. Dealing with life challenges is never fun, however there are far worse ways of living than choosing a lifestyle that is destructive to yourself and others. Taking causes additional stress, and the worst can be said that it is made to bet for no sure shot of a win.

On the moment that you do gamble out whether its your own money or being stolen then this does still shows that a person does really want to multiple his/her money and this one ends up on having those kind of reasoning that he stole money because of poverty and hunger on which this is really just that a lame excuse. If they were really that tending to find up ways for them to be able to eat then stealing isnt only the solution. This do really just simply shows that these people are really just that lazy on trying out to find up some jobs out there. If you do really just that simply persevere to find one then you could actually do it, it is really just that people are being too lazy and want simple things to be done rather than on hardwork.

He blames hunger and poverty that's why he chose to steal and picked the easy way to make more money and that is through gambling? What a good kid he is. If you know what I mean.

Anyway, it's almost the same as our neighbor here if I must share. He's also stealing not money but belongings from his parent's house (he has a different house), selling those and using it to gamble offline. As for the kiddo, it's good that he's already behind bars, but that would be temporary (months maybe) since that's considered as theft only. I just don't know why he's blaming hunger and poverty when he can just use that money that he stole to buy some food.

It's just unfortunate how these kids are finding ways to earn money to the point that they're going to steal other people's money. Can't blame though especially if they didn't finish their studies.

Well that's the problem, I see the current generation only wants to fulfill their desires without trying to fulfill their own needs. Well, let's say they are hungry, but hunger doesn't come suddenly, right? I mean they can still try to find something before hunger strikes.

Well the problem is when they are full they don't think about something they can eat when hunger comes, even though they are aware that hunger will definitely return.

I believe that some people have faced life's challenges without resorting to stealing. Any person who steals does so not because he is under pressure, but because he has an innate desire to steal. Some people are unable to steal because they are aware of the negative consequences of stealing.

Now, a person who is not known for stealing may develop a gambling addiction and begin stealing. This is because he has lost the self-consciousness that keeps him from stealing. Gambling addiction is a disorder in which a person has lost control of their thoughts and emotions.

This behavior certainly proves very well that he did not gamble for food but rather he was greedy in gambling. He thought that if he won the bet with that money, he would be able to continue his gambling regularly and on the other hand, he would be able to pay his money and after paying the money, he could use rest of that money to buy food but when he did not win then all his plans became worthless. He should have understood earlier that gambling is not a platform for definite winning. Here not only winning but also losing can happen.

example of gamblers putting everything on the line in hopes of doubling their profits which time and time again has been proven to fail

but even if he had won and has doubled his money it doesn’t take away the fact that he still stole some money from someone else and that is a crime if he had just borrowed from someone else it would have been a completely different story altogether
