there is no way you can get back what you've lost in gambling. You get in trouble for debts, trust me.
what makes you think that your statement can be Universalized ? of course you can get back what you have lost ,its just risky.
you look too negative on gambling or have faced some crap in the past.
The statement can very well be universalized for the people who have little left in their pocket after loosing and leaving the 1%(who comeback after a big loss) you can pretty much say that its almost impossible to chase back a big loss.
