It's a well known fact that if you gamble a lot, you will most likely be a loser at it. Gambling is not a job for most. Yes there are some profitable sports bettors, poker players, and in rare cases blackjack/slots players. Overall though, a very high % of gamblers are down lifetime. Casinos know that the longer they can keep someone gambling, the better chance the house edge catches up and the player loses.
Only gamble what you can afford to lose and don't try to make it your job.

Likely your friend is an addict that have spent huge amount of money on gambling, the best would be to just channel huge amount of money on something else. If he is feeling tempted and not able to use small amount on gambling, he should leave gambling for many months without visiting any gambling site or place, he should focus on business.
Gambling is for the strong and sturdy.
I got this caption based on what happened when I visited an old friend of mine as it's been long since we saw, and so, after a little time out together with random discussions I discovered a sudden change in his mood while we're still chatting. With a steady look on his phone in his hands for about a minute or more as he scrolled up and down the phone screen repeatedly he shrouded his shoulders with a simultaneous regrettable look all over his face.
I took the phone from him only to learn that my friend has been calculating the whole series of losses he has made from all the bets he has placed from one of the gambling site he patronize. He had made a multiples of losses in almost all the games he had placed bet on right from the start of this year, even to the current bet of that very day.
But then he asked me' bro assuming I had gathered all these money I have lost through gambling and channeled it into some sort of a little business or project, wouldn't it have been better! At that moment I never knew the exact word to give to him as I never expected such deep a question, for the least I replied him was "hmm I can't really say".
With this, I wondered if other person's here in the forum that are into gambling too has at any point in time thought or felt that way, particularly when the losses are becoming overwhelming. And in that case, should such person stop gambling and rather divert such monies into something else since he/she ain't making corresponding wins or more, checking his bet history, Or he should carry on with hopes that winnings will start creeping in someday gradually?
