    Has Anyone Here Ever Almost Killed Themselves From Gambling? Do You Know Anyone?

    Once I was on a bad run, and put a black mask on to make a video. That was the closest I've ever felt to killing myself.

      I know a story of a guy who almost ended his life cause he was banned from a gambling forum and they didn't let him back in for about a month or so

            Many do in Vegas but you do not hear about it

            Many do in Asia also

            Gambling is a disease you need to know what you're doing

            Bet with your head not over it

                I haven't actually told anyone this on a forum.. But a good friend of mine was gambling through a bookie he met at work.. Friend was up 10,000$, bookie said he had to pay out a lot and needed a loan.. Friend lent him 10 g's and the dude went to a casino and gambled it all.. Lost it, next day wife found him dead with a gunshot wound.

                Friend hasn't bet since

                        Sorry,

                        You currently do not have any Betpoints to give away.

                            If you can't gamble you're dead, so what's the difference?

                                First name that popped in my head but was it gambling? I think JJ has the scoop but keeps it on the down low. What a stunning turn of events that day was. Think JJ's 300 went with Kenny in the rectangular box.

                                  I was not around then, but it has been widely discussed elsewhere. From what I gather, it's certainly not an open and shut situation.

                                    I had gotten money when i turned 21 that was put aside for me to get a place of my own.I was supposed to go put 3 months worth of rent down and go buy some furniture for the place.I got the money on a saturday afternoon.There was A Michigan State game on that day and i knew They owned Michigan the past couple years so i hit them with the full amount on the ML thinking they should win but i didnt wana take a chance laying the points.Ended up denard ran wild and beat them in one hell of a game.I was gona take that profit if it had one and used it to gamble and take my original money for my apartment out but that never happened.They thought i spent it on drugs so they tried getting me to go to rehab but they never did find out what happened
