many ways to recover losses ? he can work on his own to earn and not borrow someone else money because that makes him lazy but almost majority of gamblers are dont have a work but they are the ones that have the guts to borrow money while us that have work are the ones that are scared or doubting to borrow money even if we have the ability to pay . if a person has a different reason and he is sincere when he say it , i guess its okay to lend him something .
You borrow money for emergencies. You need to eat, sleep, live, pay for rent,,, then okay fine. But to borrow money to pay for another debt? It will bring you into even more ruin. This is the folly of rent, of debt, of interest.
It is all a bad cycle of psychology and mentality. Live small, and modest. Gamble for fun, and stay away from fantasy.
