On the other hand obviously I think I would never consider that the idea is reasonable if you chase losses with the help of using borrowed money, however making loans as an intermediary to solve the problem of losing in gambling will only create new problems where there is always the possibility of losing and obviously when it turns out that the results are not what you want then you will lose again and lose the borrowed money but in addition to losing you also have to pay the borrowed money.
So of course a gambler must prioritize the bad possibilities, or the point is to think like you said that what if they lose again? because with thoughts like this then most likely they will undo their intention to pursue losses especially with money from borrowing. This is why it is always not recommended to bet small amounts or amounts that we can afford to lose, none other than because if the amount of loss is small then most likely you will be able to easily accept the circumstances of the losing situation, and will also avoid the idea of borrowing money to gamble.
Some gamblers are opting on that route because they are desperate to recover their losses. So they will borrow money for the hope of getting back their losses, However, in most cases, he will further incur losses. Hence, more problems arise from the situation. Borrowing may be considered if you have other resources that you think you can dispose of such as other assets that you can sell in your worst times. But if there's nothing, better keep your gambling to minimum. You will find out soon that it is better to restrict yourself rather than piling up your problems.
He thought it was the right step and could solve his problem because he experienced losses from his previous gambling activities, even though it was a big mistake which might bring him even more pressure, because he had lost money previously and had to pay debts because it turned out the results were not better.
If he cannot accept the previous loss, it is impossible for him to accept the next loss, which is the money he owes because there is no guarantee that he will be able to get a profit to pay off the debt and recover the previous loss.
What gamblers have to do when they lose is accept it, and can continue playing if they still have money, not by going into debt.
I believe, a lot of gamblers is guilty of such act. Because that's the usual response of any gambler after a loss. To get what he had lost, but unfortunately, more losses will come if he won't stop and totally quit. Somewhere down the road, one should call it a day even when you are on the negative side. Otherwise, you will dig your grave fast.
