Hi, i have a question for my gambler's buddies as i'm perplexed by this. I have a friend who really wishes to gamble, but he is not allowed to because his uncle lost his entire assets and some million's and his grandfather to lost another million or so (they're filthy rich). So due to this facts he is barred from gambling, they believe he'll loose money to, they're stopping him on past incidents and i'm really tired of explaining them they're wrong, what do you'll think, anyone else faces such issues?
I dont have this kind of experience but i know a family of gamblers whove lost a lot. From riches to rags i call it. If ever i encounter the same situation i would encourage my friend to avoid gambling at all. Experience is the best teacher and he doesnt have to repeat the same mistakes his parends and grand parents did. The proof is visible.
Yes, my grandfather was an addict and he ended up screwing himself in his mid-age before finally giving up to the grave recently. Anytime I think about his story, it makes me wonder how people would use their own hands to inflict suffering on themselves when life already gave them the best.
This man was very wealthy, had a lot of businesses, built houses and even married several wives, but just decided to ruin all he had with a self-infliction from gambling and sold everything at the end before living his old age from hand to mouth. Tell me how such an experience would not make someone like me think twice before gambling at all.
