If someone bet and he suffers a big loss and then goes here to ask a little help from you, are you willing to give him help?
Have you ever experienced something like that, how do you deal with this loss?
I wouldn't give/lend money to such person, because it would only make things worse for him/her, but I would be more than happy to help with an advice on how to deal with loss, and on how to avoid such situations in the future.
I know, people pay big money for counselling, but the thing is that shrinks are no gamblers themselves, and thus they can hardly say anything constructive on the matter.
I would suggest to such a person to come here, on this forum, to spell out their problem with as many details as possible, and to get free counselling. Maybe it would be helpful.
