So true, that's one of the problem with gamblers when the greediness strikes you wouldn't care about how much you will lose. I still can't believe he just wasted that huge amount of bitcoin, we should have self control and discipline in gambling because it tends to be very addicting.
Losing such amount is really depressing and if im in his shoes i think it would be hard to find ways for coping up.
Addiction and greediness are the reasons why that gambler risk the amount that can contribute so much in reality and in just a blink its all gone in his hands.
Whatever his status is to afford 50 btc, still its not good to spend too much in gambling because it can ruin lives.
