A Shanghai man was sentenced to prison for kidnapping his own granddaughter so he could maintain his gambling addiction with the ransom money.
That is the height of it. I can't emagine how someone would go this far to the extent of kidnaping his own grand daughter all because he want his son in-law to pay a ransom of $72k to pay off his gambling loan. That is the reason why we keep on talking about gambling addiction and how it affects us in somany ways. Come to think of it how can a man of 65 years will still be playing gamble at his age? Like I always said gambling could be fun and can change someone's financial status but not what we can take to another dimension.
They can do it. I assure you that. Gambling addiction is worse than drug addicts and alcoholics. Why? Simply because gambling is more expensive than those bad habits. They continually play and there's no stopping it especially now that gambling is more accessible thanks to online gambling sites.
It's open 24/7 and they can always bet as they please so doing those kinds of things might be possible if they run out of money.
Before, I didn't really believe it could happen but when I heard about my brother-in-law doing crazy things because of his gambling addiction, that's when I realized that it could really happen.
Gambling addicts can decide crazy things without even thinking about what will happen to them next as long as they can satisfy their bad habits.
