It is so unfortunate how some gamblers become so addicted to the extent of selling off most of their properties just to play gamble even when they're aware of the risk that is associated with selling ones properties as you may not be able to replace that same property again even in your entire life.
The mindset of most addicted gamblers that do sell their properties is that, if they sell the one they have and use the money to gamble, if they win, they will end up buying the one better than the one they sold, but things don’t end up going well for them, and they will lose the one they have because it has already been sold, and they won’t be able to buy a new one. The best thing is that you shouldn't be addicted to gambling and never think of selling your properties just because you want to gamble, because things won’t really go well and you will end up regretting why you made the mistake.
I remembered some years back when an addicted gambling friend of mine sold his father's car and used the money to play gamble, and he ran out of the house to an unknown destination for over 3 years such that the parents where even looking for him to come back home regardless of the crime he committed because he was his parents only male child
Why will you sell your father's car just because you want to gamble? The level of the person's addiction is just kind of high, you didn’t sell what belongs to you, you ended up selling what belongs to your father. That’s really bad. Even if the child commits a crime that’s more than that, the parents will still look for him, that's parent for you. No parent will want to lose control of their child, no matter what crime the child commits.
