“Probdeo sam noć i sačekao da me sunce podseti da je u Beogradu podnošljivije, te i poželjnije živeti tokom noći. Lađa sa gradskog grba i dalje grabi ka dubinama ušća Save u Dunav, sa sve svojim građanima, neki skaču sa palube, neki tonu sa brodom, ali spokoj koji sati posle ponoći pružaju pomažu da se o tome misli nekom drugom prilikom, pa trećom, četvrtom i petom, dok prilika ne nestane. Mrak i muk i meandriranje sudbine svih svetova koje na krupnijem planu ništa ne menja. U tome sam uvek nalazio utehu kada bih, užljebljen u svakodnevicu, pomislio da je ma koji od mojih problema zbog nečega značajan.”

According to a 2023 Rutgers study of New Jersey bettors, almost 30 percent of individuals with a gambling disorder reported thoughts of suicide, 25 percent had engaged in self-harm, and 20 percent had attempted suicide. An important factor is gender. Men are already much more likely to die by suicide than women, and heavy gamblers, especially sports bettors, are predominantly male. Gambling studies scholarship offers two additional reasons for the high prevalence of suicide among problem gamblers. First is indebtedness, the understanding that the gambler’s debts would disappear with them. The second is shame. Gambling addiction has not been destigmatized nearly as much as other substance addictions.”
