In my opinion, the practice of gambling in debt borders on lawlessness and if a gambler will not pay back money for a long time, he will have problems. I personally think that if he won't pay back his gambling debt, he will be taken over by tough guys who will gladly force a debtor to take out a loan or borrow money from someone else for 10-15% of the amount owed. This scheme is as old as the world and there is no point in proving anything in court if you played in a casino with someone else's money and lost it. A debt is a debt.
Yeah,, indeed dept is a dept, but in this case, I can't go without blaming the betting agent, on no account was he supposed to allow the gambler gamble on credit, knowing the nature of gambling and how humans react to such losses, it is always very much easier for almost every one to pay off a loan borrowed to solve a real life Issue, than pay a loan borrowed to gamble, most especially if the money is lost in the course of gambling, but then, it's easy if the gambler won, atleast from the proceeds of the winning, he can easily settle the loan and keep the profit, but if the money is lost, like in the case where the betting agent allowed the gambler to bet on credit, it takes some one who Is extra ordinarily disciplined to settle such credit, as its almost the same as being forced to give away money to someone when they have not rendered any service to you, or being forced to pay someone even the service the person rendered to you is a very bad one and does not deserve to be paid for.
The ethical concerns of sanctioning credit-based gambling are deeply impacting. This fuels the addiction cycle, escalating the difficulty for individuals to escape their damaging patterns.
The emotional burden of repaying a loan for necessities versus one squandered in gambling is immense. The latter feels like compensating for a 'service' that has been detrimental, amplifying feelings of remorse and desperation.
And yeah, we need more stringent rules to hold gambling institutions accountable and impede destructive tendencies. This entails constraints on credit gambling and proactive actions for sensible gambling, shielding vulnerable individuals from gambling's harmful aftermath.
