Imho paying debt by gambling isnt right, firstly because it supposed to be a quick solution, while quick solution often isnt the right solution. It is acceptable to pay off the debt by gambling, but if you do it on a distance of years, and you are good at self control. In other cases, it will lead to even more problems.
And you think it's acceptable over years? Wrong. Slow-acting toxin. It may take time, but it's destroying your finances, mental health, and relationships. Using chance to fix what needs hard work and dedication is foolish. Online or offline, the trap persists. Only actual answer? Learn, plan, and face your debts. The only gamble that is worthwhile is that
So if I have a $1000 debt, and I plan to gamble once a few weeks with little bets, let say $20, and make little number of bets, for example play 5 bets with 1.10 odd, which is isnt that hard to win and it will be $10 every few weeks. And I have years to gamble like that. Of course I understand that it will never be a 100% win ration, but still with self-control I will slowly payoff my debt. But you say that isnt acceptable? While for me it looks like I can slowly repay debt with such tactics.
