For me then i wont really be that too easy when it comes to money even on how close we are as a friend. There's no such thing about giving out some finance support specially on gambling.
Even if you arent a gambler then its impossible that you wont really be able to know on what are the potential risks and problems into those people who are engaging into it.
That true and when you yourself are gambler can be sure that would prefer to use that money as your own capital to gamble rather than having to fund other people who may not necessarily be able to return the amount of money that we give them to gamble.
We already understand how gambling carries out very dangerous risks, so funding someone to gamble is the same as throwing away money for free because the only certainty in gambling is defeat.
If a person asks you to finance their gambling activities as a loan that they will repay after a certain period of time, that's still understandable because you will at least know that you will get your money back even if the gambler loses it all, but if it's like a partnership thing where the profits will be split, then it's obviously foolish to do it since gambling is all about luck and no one can earn guaranteed profits from it because it's a business for the owners and not for the players.
When a gambler ask to finance their gambling activities its like a partnership if you agree, and you will suffer more if he loss. Unless he said specifically that it's a loan and he will pay for it.
But regardless, i won't do on such things, you will only encourage him to gamble more, where in fact he already ask loan to gamble, that shit is already awful, and addiction that should be stopped early.
It not a partnership problem because when we lose we ourselves bear the loss but when we win that person gets the profit while we only get back the amount of capital that was previously given.
Borrowing is also not recommended because they use it for gambling, even though there is an agreement to return the amount of money but we never know when they will be able to return it.
And when they have money, they definitely prefer to use it for gambling rather than having to pay back the amount of money they borrowed first.
Honestly, I little skeptical of gamblers.
