That’s the reality about gambling, it takes a lot of money to lose first before you see yourself winning from it. So it’s still more on losses actually, except for those who are really lucky that at a single bet, they end up winning the jackpot instantly, but that’s very rare to happen. Most especially when you gamble from a loan money, that will put yourself in an even worst situation. Not only you will lose and become depressed, but others tend to end their lives through suicidal because they can’t bear the situation anymore.
I think it is the other way around. It will let us win first then if we are hooked on winning, we will suffer losses and then spend a lot of money to chase our losses. Indeed it is more on losses unless we gamble responsibly and limit our bankroll. A loan just to gamble is the worst thing to do especially if you lose the amount. So it is better to have the self-discipline to avoid the devastating result of gambling.
