I don't get why people are chasing after gambling so much... it's like being told by a stranger "Give me your money and I'll most likely keep them, but you have a slight chance to double them".
Even if you give your money to an algorithm and not a stranger, I wouldn't gamble even with my spare income, let alone with money I don't have.
Thanks for sharing your story though, hopefully it'll help someone realize the dangers.
The most common purpose of being so obsessed with gambling is the fact that someone relative or friend has won in gambling recently. The sad thing is that people borrow money from their friends in order to make more profits and they end up losing everything, same way as the OP.
