In my case nothing special. I've already gambled to help my family to pay monthly bills and thank God I achieved success on that.
I have also nothing special.
But you're better because you've helped your family and was able to pay the bills. I haven't done that to support and pay the bills through gambling. I may even spend the budget for the bills instead of paying it.
Then how do you take care of the bills if you're just spending the budget that is already allocated for the bills? Or maybe you mean that you just prefer to spend and splurge yourself from that winning instead of paying those bills. If that's the case, that's totally fine because our winnings in gambling are not guaranteed money so I don't think that we just rely on gambling to pay our bills.
Or maybe he meant that instead of helping to pay the bills, the money he got are being burned inside his gambling activities. Not sure though if that was what he meant, but it might be that way. Me, I don't have that kind of luck maybe some time when betting with my local basketball league and the team I bet with win, I just simply treat my kids with pizza or other food that they've in mind to eat that day but in terms of things I don't have that luck yet and hopefully it will come

Not writing here to boost off - but once through the gambling money - I payed the hospital expense of friends mother.
And once I helped a friend who was in need. Some people say that gambling money is volatile - but through that money someone got their life back and reunited with their family.
