and when you starts borrowing money to use for betting then you are already considered as addicted gamblers.
On the time that you do find out that you cant really be able to solve out such addiction then this is the time that you would really be seeking help from your loved ones. Things turns out
to be that a devastating thing if you do tolerate out such addiction. People do usually stop on playing gambling on the time that they dont really have money for them to spend on.
But still, such cases with criminal outcomes happen quite often in many countries where gambling is very widespread.
Still, he might gamble with part of the money but definitely not with all, meaning that it is not all about gambling but for the lack of money at that time. The scarcity of money can bring many unthinkable thoughts and acts, but nevertheless, it is out of greed that people do this. They can do unspeakable things due to greed and I know they do not have a single bardonable excuse for it. If you need money that desperately, why not go do menial jobs, after all, such jobs are readily available, and they are sufficient enough to satisfy the immediate need.
However, I certainly agree that the stage when a player becomes a criminal and a thief in order to continue the game is of course an abnormal option; this happens rarely, and in this case such a person intiially has criminal inclinations. And by the way, he needs real treatment for gambling addiction by real doctors, maybe even isolation in a closed medical institution, since family members are powerless in this case. And they can't help him.
