Just as the title say, a man has committed suicide after losing a bet of about #2.5m which is equivalent to $1.525k. according to the story the young man took a loan from his friend which was about $731+ adding to his own $792.6 and used it to stake in an online bet to make some money after undergoing a long time of poverty, unknowing to him that gambling is for fun and not a business or poverty alleviation program, he committed suicide after losing the money because of being afraid of paying back that amount he felt that taken his life will be the best option because he has not hope of paying back that amount..
The question now is that
1) is it necessary to take loan to gamble when we have no intention to pay back?
2) is it necessary to commit suicide if such mistake has been made?
Here is the
linkThere’s so many cases like this recently in my country. Only weak people would do something like this—those who can no longer handle the situation. As someone who is also addicted to online casinos, the thought of suicide crossed my mind whenever I lost, but I realized that doing that would only make my problems worse or add more to them instead of solving anything. However, I can’t entirely blame them because that’s the extent of their ability to fight their problems. That’s why it’s important to have family and someone you can share your struggles with, even if it’s just to have someone to talk to who might be able to help.
The same thing that happens in my country, cases like this are quite common, not only for those who are married, with single people and teenagers, this case also occurs in my country, it is really sad that this happens to many people but yes, it is a consequence and choice that they take when under pressure for their own actions which were wrong from the start. I hope many people can see this as an example to no longer gamble excessively. You should be able to bet with the amount of money that you can afford to lose, because I think when you have thoughts of suicide it seems like you are betting with money that you can't afford and you yourself are not ready for the fact that defeat is something that is more certain to happen, therefore before placing a bet, make sure you can see yourself first to be ready to lose and bet with the amount that you can afford.
