Before, I don't understand why people think that paying their debts through gambling is a choice. But now, I do understand that this is the reality of life that there are people that will always think of the odd idea on how make themselves debt free but instead, they're adding more pressure to themselves and will result to having more troubles to themselves. When you want to get out of debt, do it the traditional way by working and earning and paying it with your money.
In my opinion, there are people who think they can pay off their debts by relying on gambling, because there are reports that gambling can give them profitable wins and can also double their money, so this might cross their minds, so if they have a debt of $500 but that person has money. of $250 then he will use that $50 to gamble in the hope of getting a profitable win that will be enough for them to pay off the debt they have.
It's true what you said maybe this is a strange idea, because gambling doesn't guarantee that it will give them a win that can help them to pay off their debts, and with actions like this perhaps more clearly they will only have more pressure from their debts where the money is used for paying off the debt is instead used to gamble with the excuse of doubling up and as you said this will only add to the bigger problems they will get. I agree with you, if you really want to pay off debt you should do a job that makes money and with a mind that doesn't think about gambling you can double your money quickly.
It doesn't guarantee gain but the chance is there, so as for the other gamblers that think of it. It means that there's a chance for them to become profitable and with that, that's the reason they are leaning on for them to be able to pay their debts off. But the results as we know, it's going to be on and off but at most times, it will be off and disappointing results.
That's because they see that borrowing money can be used to gamble and they also see that with the borrowed money, they can have a chance to win even though gambling will not be able to give them the victory they imagine.
It is a bad idea to borrow money to gamble because it can worsen the situation, especially if they lose all their money. They will not be able to pay their debts when someone collects them so they will probably stay away from it.
Yes, they should look for work to earn income. And from that income, you can use a little to gamble. This will help you avoid debt problems.
With that logic and point of view, someone who's seeing it with gambling is likely to get more in debt. That's sad but there's no improvement with that thinking and understanding if they see some resolution through gambling with their situations.
