Wow, £20,000, that is a lot money to me, why would people do such thing, it looks like gambling addiction is very horrible.
If it was me, i would be heartbroken very very much.
Not just 20,000 but 40,000 British pounds in one month. Think of that money. I have friends that barely live a comfortable life, one of them only earns 400 British pounds a month, and here we see 40,000 British pounds squandered by gambling in one month. Now if that isn't utter stupidity - I'm sorry I have to say it. The person knows that 40,000 pounds is a big amount and he should have thought about it many many times over before deciding to give it away to the gamblers due to bad play.
Which is why it is ridiculous that he is somehow now trying to blame the casino for what is happening, casinos are there to give us some entertainment and since we live in an age in which people are given maximum freedom many people think they can do whatever they want without consequences.
But in fact all of that freedom comes with responsibilities and anyone that decides to abdicate those responsibilities is going to soon find themselves in a lot of trouble, just like what happened to this gambler.
Casinos will stay no matter what, they are allowed to operate, they pay taxes and they have gamblers who are constantly playing with them. Losing is normal to us as a gambler, however, losing an amount that is extremely high is not acceptable anymore, we are getting stupid because we can't control our emotion and it only showed how irresponsible we are, and with that, it's ourselves who should be blamed, not other people or gambling itself.
It's a pretty stupid excuse.
