How in the world did SBF decide that gambling was the best course of action for recovering the funds? It seems to me that he has terrible friends around him. Have you ever thought of gambling as way to recover your funds and pay your debts? Does this look like a case of compulsive gambling?

They try to recover their losses by gambling more, which ends up being a terrible idea most of the time since now they lost even more money.
Also it's easier to spend other people's money than yours.
