I prefer to call him a gambler who is not responsible for his gambling because he forgets that no one will be held responsible for gambling losses including influencers. Had he known what the risks of gambling were then he should never have complained when he spent all his money. $2K to $5K is quite a lot to spend in 2 weeks of gambling mainly because I'm not a gambler who likes to spend $100+ per session. It makes more sense to bet on sports bets $100 per favorite game or $100 on a weekly parlay for a good 3-4 games than to spend all the money on slots or other luck based games.
