Cousin lost all his homecoming money in casino

yes, he is so selfish and such a gambler. maybe he won then he thought that the luck was on him so he wanted to win more... ohh he is greedy too if this the case. Now i can not say if it is good for him for he was not able to go home, but I think of the children and the wife/husband who are waiting for him/her arrival. Such a bad gambler. so disappointing.

I lived in the gambling capital of the world las vegas, for 11-12 years. I used to see this happen every single day there. Id talk to people whod tell me they lost their rent money, food money even their own houses. Very sad. Im glad I hate to gamble.

I am really sorry to hear that. How disappointed for his family. Gambling is a very bad habit. It is addictive and especially it can take away your hard-working money. Besides, you will be buried by the debts. I hope your cousin will learn a big lesson this time and never touch the gambling again. It will never be late to correct a mistake.

That is truly disappointing! He worked hard for nothing. That reminds of what happened to one cousin of my husband. He used to work in a bank and would stayed for about 4 hours more everyday. We knew that he need to earn something more coz he was preparing for his wedding that time and he also sends money to his parents. A few months after his wedding, his overtime work still didn't stop. Then one night his wife called her sister in-law and said that they were fighting coz all their savings were gone! Actually, I went to their house together with my mother in law and my husband's aunt to pacify the couple. they were fighting and was on the verge of splitting up. So we found out that my husband's cousin was gambling after office hours and was already in debt for about $20,000 that time. We thought he 'd be put behind bars for not being able to settle them. The couple lost all their savings- as in totally wiped out!

Aww.. That is not good. Sorry to hear that. He shouldn't spend all his money to the casino. It is hard to win in the casino.

That is indeed selfish and self-centered. Hope he isn't married. I would not lend him any money and if he asks, I would tell him to get some professional help for his gambling problems. My family likes to eat at our local casino's buffet. Some of my family will gamble but only $5. Once they spend their $5, then they quit. They just gamble for a hoot. I don't even like to waste $5 on gambling. But I do enjoy the good quality food at our casino's buffet and enjoy spending time with my family. If you limit what you are going to spend at casinos, then you have control over yourself and your money. Needless to say, my family doesn't drink a lot either, so that helps them to stay in control. We all know that the casinos are rigged to win. And they want gamblers to drink so they lose their ability to stay in control. How else are they going to stay in business, unless they win more times then they lose? So the odds are against gamblers in casinos. Might as well save your money. And invest it wisely else where.

Personally there are probably too many stories to count with things happening like this. As so many times you hear "We were only going to go in there for a minute." We had someone once renting a room from us, who spent their Rent money at the casino and wanted us to feel sorry for them and still let them stay. But personally when you have a Family, and leave them to go work a good job, and spend it in a casino instead of going home to see the family, this is LOW, and I am sure not a great way to end the yr.

Wow that is really awful because in all that time he was away supposed to be earning money he wound up blowing it all at a casino. I am supposed to go to los vegas in a month or so and I dont intend to do that. If I gamble it all it will only be a few dollars. I am more into just going and seeing the sites etc.

I think that it a very irresposible thing to do when you have a family because his decision to visit the casino is not only going to affect himself, it will also have consequences for his family. Some of people who lose money in the casinos contiue playing because they think that they will have the chance to win the money back, but that can be very dangerous and you might lose even more money that way. Maybe your cousin also thought that he would be able to win some of the money back and continued playing after he started losing, but it is a very risky thing to do.

He was probably trying to get money to buy gifts for everyone. Gambling is a bad thing to get into. I know many of my husband's family gamble. We buy he occiasional scratch off but other then that nothing big is ever spent, we just don't have the money to be able to lose it.

Hi friend I think your cousin is addicted to gambling so he could not control himself and lost all his money ,after reading i understood that we must be in control and should not be addicted to any such games .
