I say from real experience. I am talking about a person next to me. He was the son of a government school master. He was a very good student. And he had a lot of respect in the area. Suddenly he became addicted to the addiction. That is the gambling game called online casino. After entering that online casino, it slowly became addicted in such a way that it came down the street with his family. And he loses a lot of money. And he is got debted. Finally, his father sold his home land and his father paid all the money to the school master.
this is what i mean when i say that not all gambling addicts start as irresponsible and reckless some people were responsible and level headed people before they started gambling and it made them basically lose all objectivity out the window it is possible so i do not believe when people say that there is a specific kind of person only allowed to gamble because they can change in a snap

Yes, based on my previous comments from other threads I had this friend working abroad in a country where gambling is prohibited but still he was able to access and he got addicted though he won maybe millions of our local currency but the problem is that his transactions have been detected by the country's he's in for anti-money laundering and that made him deported and not only that he was also suffered massive debt after all because of addiction and what makes it worst is that he was using a middleman for that loan he got and the lender was pressuring the middleman to repay that debt.

Yes, I’ve seen stories like that too. Gambling, especially online casinos, can ruin lives. People lose money, get into debt, and hurt their families. It’s really sad when someone with a good future goes down that road.

Very right, gambling has really destroyed most people lives in a way that they find it so difficult to amend.
That is why it's very advisable to always gamble responsibly, because through gambling, if one can't be able to control their emotions when things are not falling in line with them, they might make some decision without putting things into consideration and this acts might lead them in depression, frustration, which might hurt them and also hurt others around them.
So whatever one is doing, let it be moderate, gambling to make money, might lead to addiction but bearing it in mind that gambling is just for fun and also to know that its a matter of luck and not a do or die something.

Such a situation occurs in many places. It is more common in the village region now. Especially simple simple people in the village region can not control their greed by playing online casino and in that case they are facing big damage. And people in the city region are also addicted to gambling. But I think people from the village are a little clever. They spend most of the time for entertainment in these online casinos.
I think casino should play for entertainment. If someone starts gambling for money income, he must keep his own control. If he gets more addicted, he may face damage. So you must first control his emotions.

I don't like to always play smart like I'm the best when it comes to gambling or all sort of that but I can tell that I do get surprised how people gamble to the extent they lose everything they have. What happen to your instinct and how to think before doing something that will back fire. If you have it on your mind that you can't beat casino, you will stop loosing money to casino recklessly.

I'd you remove greed from your gambling, you will make the ones you are lucky to win and you will lose less the casino because when you gamble responsibly, there is no way the casino will take away all you have because you will be thinking step ahead of them.

My question is, are you witnessing such a real experience as well?
It may happen that when a boy is addicted to gambling too much, he may get into debt after losing his money. Even when the debt burden is heavy, it will be difficult for him to survive. Whether that boy is the son of a government employee or a businessman, if he is unable to repay the money, then a complaint will be filed against him. That is why every parent can help his child in such a situation. Such incidents are not unfamiliar. Due to the stupidity of those gamblers, they are in such a situation. They think gambling as a platform to earn money or if they lose, they spend more money to recover that money. It is quite natural for a gambler's situation to worsen due to uncontrolled gambling.

I have witnessed gambling turn the life of an individual who was doing very well around into someone doing badly and struggling. This person became addicted to the worst kind of sports betting possible, which is virtual games, which are not real, and people addicted to it can often lose a very huge amount of money within a very short time because of how quickly the results of the game come out.

Virtual games are terrible.

For sure, having fast forms of gambling like virtual gaming tends to have a huge effect on anyone and any person involved, basically making them lose sight of the fact that they are gambling. The pace of games is almost never stopped and this keeps the adrenaline flowing which can result in dangerous addictions too. A lot of people become caught up in the narrative that if just one big win comes along, then it will all be fixed, when usually the wins are dwarfed by losses. The problems are worse because these games are so accessible, without any physical or social controls the player can keep on gambling and there is no way to tell when they need to stop.

When the level is already addicted, then it will happen because they will do everything to play and not even just the victory they expect, because even if they win they will use the money to play again.

This is something that we must pay attention to, so as not to become addicted. It is okay to keep playing as long as we have to think realistically about the game.

I've also seen this slow erasing. And seeing someone lose touch with who they were is the scariest thing. When someone becomes addicted to gambling, they only feel numb. It's about how you need volatility to feel alive

What he really lost was his orientation. Modern loneliness, mental pain that isn't dealt with, and pressure to succeed all happen in silence. Everything leads to this. These stories aren't anomalies. They look like reflections. Of how badly we teach people how to deal with pain, find their own worth, and be bored without collapsing. The next story will be the same, but have a new name if we don't do something about that

I say from real experience. I am talking about a person next to me. He was the son of a government school master. He was a very good student. And he had a lot of respect in the area. Suddenly he became addicted to the addiction. That is the gambling game called online casino. After entering that online casino, it slowly became addicted in such a way that it came down the street with his family. And he loses a lot of money. And he is got debted. Finally, his father sold his home land and his father paid all the money to the school master.

My question is, are you witnessing such a real experience as well?
There are more life challenging situations even worster than that which you mentioned and at last they were indebted to the lender.
Lot of cases are coming up on a regular basis due to addiction, thinking that wealthy through gambling but at the end it doesn't work as they thought. Gambling is not for the faint hearted, also not for the quick profiting rather a game to ease stress.

Gambling addiction can happen to anyone, irrespective of their family, educational background, or status in society. We have seen people who have achieved a lot for themselves and the society they lived in, but they turned out to become or have nothing due to their gambling addiction lifestyle.

The son of the government schoolmaster is just lucky to have a caring father who still came through for him to save him from the financial debts he accumulated through gambling. Not all fathers can sacrifice to sell their properties to pay off the debt of their sons who got addicted to gambling.

The parents selling their home just to pay the kids debts? Nah, that's just extreme. Honestly, the story looks like it's made up from imagination or just taken from a movie or a novel ;D I personally do not think that things could go to that way without anyone else from the family noticing it.

Witnessing this real experience in his own village where there is someone who has been addicted to gambling with the end they sold their parents' house to pay debts due to their own gambling.

He is the only child of the family and is always spoiled by his parents, anything is always followed, including borrowing money here and there on the grounds that the child wants to do business but in reality it is for gambling that has been severely addicted.

The person is 25 years old now he has nothing else.
