An irresponsible gambler can never be trusted with funds because nomatter how in control such a chronic gambler would be, he would definitely lost out of control and tempers with the entrusted fund.
The consequences of untruthful (addicted) gamblers is that they are liable with whatever funds that are reachable to them and gambles with it. They would always have the urge to gamble as long there is hope to reach out to funds.
They are basically possesed betting unconditionally without a damn thought of negative outcomes and so as they can't stand stably to maintain reputable entrusting integrity once it has to do with finances.

What's a similar case that you're in that made you regret that you learned gambling?
This happened over 10 years ago and it happened in our fiesta and the culprit was the color game, I lost my 2month salary because I kept believing and kept chasing my losses, I ended up taking a loan from our social security service, and my company so I can pay our bills and bring something to our table it took me 5 to a year to pay my loan, while paying my loans I kept blaming myself and regretted that I learn to gamble.
This is one of the considerations why I have to control my gambling activity, we gamblers have something to regret because we are tempted to lose control on how we play.

I was talking to a friend who used to be a compulsive gambler and is now a responsible gambler and I asked him what made him decide to be rehabilitated is it because of the money, he said its not.
It was because of the situation that he was in and that a friend asked him to keep his money it was his saving and he was about to buy a new cell and he only needed a week to complete the money and he didn't keep it in the house he might use it so he decided to entrust the money to him because his friend had complete trust on him.
Unfortunately because of his addiction, he was tempted to use the money to gamble thinking that he could double the money and give his friend a share so he could buy a more expensive cellphone, unfortunately, he lost the money and surprisingly his friend showed up and asked for the money the day after he loss the money.
He has no choice but to tell the truth, his friend does not know that he is a gambler so to forgive him for what he did his friend asks him to undergo rehabilitation, he was so embarrassed that he regrets learning about gambling, and thankful that because of his friend he was rehabilitated.

I got my parents to pay my rent because of my gambling, i was really ashamed of it, but almost got kicked out from my apartment, because bills were late. so i didn't have any other choice but to ask help. I would like to say it was only that that scared me straight, but i needed to mess up few times before i realized that i need to do something about this.

Now i have become over sensetive for any kind of addictive feelings or even small lapses. I still wanted to keep on gambling and only way i could have done that is set my self a new set of rules that i won't ever, in any situation break. Because if i do, i might relapse.
In your case, even if my friend returned the money with interested because of the profits he got from gambling, i would be angry and would most likely not not trust him again. Because i didn't give my consent for the money, and it's not an issue if he wins or loses, it's the matter of trust.

That's what is called gambling addiction. A person who had a gambling addiction and now he returned to a regular life means it's a lot. Most of them go through a tough time. I guess a lot of us lost some big amount of money by gambling. I know people who have lost their entire salary in just a couple of minutes and they instantly regret placing max bets. I did the same thing. I remember I received my salary and wanted to gamble $20 and then I lost. I tried to recover it with low odds and placed big bets and I lost it too. I have lost a couple of bets in a row and then i had to suffer for the whole month. If someone is responsible for their family, they cannot lose their entire salary. Or else, they would be in a big trouble.

I personally saw on how it destroyed my father during his younger years.
My grandfather and father were notorious gamblers. They used to own a farm full of cockfighters and they raised/bred chickens. Inside our farm, they created this miniature ring wherein they can simulate fights between chickens without the blade equipped on the foot of the chickens. They participated tons of tournaments and they were even showcased in our national television.
When my grandfather passed away, we needed some funds so my father sold our farm in the province, though he kept a small portion of the farm in which it was to be designated for chickens for cockfighting. Unfortunately, my father prioritized gambling consistently to the point that he was struggling to put foods in our table daily. What made him turn and recover from this addiction was when my youngest brother was hospitalized due to an auto-immune disease that we badly need funds for.
Due to this incident, my father quitted gambling and he never touched that cockfighting once again. I just hope that people would not experience what I experienced growing up as a kid especially to have a father struggling to meet ends.

I didn't regret learning how to gamble but I was in the worse situation where I lost a bet on the basketball game and because I hate the prick I didn't pay him. He was looking for me all around the basketball court. When I got home before dinner, he was there talking to my mum so my mum knew I bet and I ran to not pay him lol
She was disappointed and my brothers told me to keep doing this and I'm gonna get in trouble someday. That prick apparently has lots of creepy friends.
Still not rehabilitated and me and my brothers laughing.

Fortunately, I have never found myself in a situation where I am risking someone else's money or risking money which was supposed to be used for basic things like food or medicine in gambling. So I do not believe to ever have had something as dramatic as the story of your friend. Though, I believe there was someone in my extended maternal family who indeed had problems with gambling and because of it he got in very serious trouble with the rest of the people from that extended family.
That person was (as far as I know) a person with a regular gambling habit and also took part in the consumption of drugs based in cocaine, because of it, it was suspected he started to steal from the family home when nobody was paying attention, even to the point of using his own children to pick up stuff for him to sell and get some quick buck to continue to either gamble or consume drugs.
Your story has a happy ending, which is good, we need more of those happy endings in the gambling ecosystem. In the case of the story I just shared, I believe there was no happy ending for the person involved.
Also, I am curious, does the person you talk about got help from a rehabilitation facility of he managed to get out of gambling by his own and with the support of his family? What kind of mechanisms he used to defeat addiction?
