There's nothing wrong with giving loans or borrowing money to close friends or relatives, but if you borrow money or give loans for gambling, even with a small amount, I think it's a wrong action, even if it's just to have fun gambling. I would never do that even if a close friend asked for a loan. Because gambling gives you a sense of curiosity, once you try it there is a feeling of addiction,
No, that's simply not true. I mean, it can be true for some people, but they are certainly in the minority, otherwise gambling would banned everywhere. I'll tell you of my first experience with gambling. It happened when I was 13. Me together with two friends from my class, collected some money from breakfasts and bought one lottery ticket with it. And we won 20 times of the ticket price! We were so excited. But you know when was the second time that I gambled? It was more than 20 years later when I started paying online dice. And I also know that no one from my classmates has become addicted gamblers afterwards either.
It doesn't mean it's okay to play with other people's money if ti's an amount that you can't compensate right away, though.
A lot of people tend to have a different reaction to their first-time wins unlike what you and your classmates did, they gamble again after they win something significant from their first gambling session, and 20x is significant enough to make someone feel like they should gamble again and maybe they will be able to win something even bigger. Out of this thought and curiosity, some might gamble away everything they have won only to win something more with it.
Even if this doesn't make someone addicted to gambling, this will at least make them lose a lot of money. Some may stop in the middle after they see their luck isn't working and they are losing everything, but others won't stop because they feel they might win it in the next bet, and that win never comes.
There are many such gamblers who dream of bigger wins after winning the first time. They think they can win more because they just started playing. They will bet more and more in the future. Thus they can lose their entire money at one point of gambling. However, the fact that not everyone will gamble in the same.
There will be some gamblers who can control them. They can stop at any time. Some gamblers get too excited at the first win and crave more wins and there are some gamblers who limit themselves to that stage. It is entirely up to the gambler himself what he will do. Those who have self-control will not suffer much from such activities.
Having self control simply means one being able to withdraw him or herself from gambling when it doesnt seem like anything is coming out from it, right?
Well, long and short is that, winning or losing in gambling, all lay in the hands of luck, someone who is lucky and won a good sum, and then out of excitements, decide to continue to play for possibly more wins, if the gambler is still lucky, he or she will still win again, again and again, it's that simple.
But if the gambler is not lucky, then he or she will definitely end up losing, and if care is not taken, he or she may likely lose the money he or she previously won, and maybe lose even more money along with that as well, it all depends on how lucky the gambler is.
