You would have advised him to use the remaining 20% of his savings in staking a new bet, who knows he could have recovered through a lucky win, lolz. Nonsense! What in heavens name was he thinking that amde him took such stupid decision of risking 80% of his savings
on gambling. He doesn't deserve pity for being stupid. We are not assured that's why we're always alarmed to use money we can let go to gamble.
The results from gambling happens differently to different people. Some persons are so lucky that with their first trial they had their first win, while there are persons that have been gambling with online casinos for years yet haven't had a single win but hope keeps them going that someday they might be lucky, and who knows it could be a major jackpot. And this attitude just keep them gambling never thinking of quiting.

It sounds very funny lol, but that would be a very wrong advise to give to a friend who just lost 80% of his monthly income to gambling, though there are chances that he could still recover his lose if he try again with the remaining 20% but at that point his mind doesn't seem okay due to the sadness of losing such amount of money therefore it's not advisable to predict another game with an unstable state of mind, however I believe he's learnt the hard way and experience they say it the best teacher.
There's a saying that all fingers are not equally and everyone's luck in life cannot be same, however you should consider giving more advise to such persons that's been gambling for years and still has nothing to show for it, because they're gradually becoming addicted to it and loosing more money, my advise to them is either they quit or look for other strategies with a better chances of giving them profit.
