and borrowing money to gamble will only double your losses , yeah there is a chance to win and pay the debt
but what if you lose? you need to pay that capital and of course the interest in due time and will continue increase the long time you
delayed in payment .like what you said the more you wanted to win is the more you attract losing as this is how my cousin lose her
house and Lot just because of addiction , he kept borrowing using her house as collateral and ending the bank took the house and
lot and now he is homeless and feel sorry for His stupidity.
People end up this way when they are addicted. Addiction is a very bad and strong factor that ties one down and get them to retrogress in life. Both smoker, drunk etc and gambling is worse off because it keeps leading you to try more despite your loses.
Like what you narrated with your sister cousin who lost her house. It is quite easy to lose your property when they are used as collateral for gambling because there is no winning guarantee in gambling and so when you go to the bank or other individuals to get a loan in collateral with your house, it is as good as gone immediately you lose and can not redeem at the time of agreement.
So the lesson here is to avoid being addicted because it leads into improper and half baked idea and that brings you down immediately it fails like taking loan for gambling with your house as collateral. She is not alone in such an inept decision.
