One of the primary reasons why people stay addicted for long is to win big. They think a big win will solve financial and all other problems in their lives.
For this very man greed was his problem £20000 is a huge sum that can afford a very lucrative business. Giving such huge amount on gambling shows his high level of greed and people of this kind can do anything just to make money not minding if it's legal or not. I wish he recovers soonest because this can cause a man to commit sucide.
but he regrets this the rest of his life , meaning he is also a small time gambler who only tries his chance of a lifetime but failed . maybe this will be remembered all the moment of his precious life how he managed to lose a amount in which can change his life for goodness if chooses the right decision.
one of the biggest problems in these cases is that even when the person is always complaining and then the person overcomes this problem and starts to take care of their life away from gambling, someone will always appear who will be condemning you for having lost a lot of money, even when many years pass there will always be someone who complains and condemns the person who lost a lot of money in games of chance, this is because to buy anything you need to have money and the trend is that the less money the person does not have people always remember the day you had a lot of money and lost. Is a cycle that never ends well
