They can't get of themselves and there's no resource for them anymore and that's why they're borrowing money to gamble.
Not necessarily no resources anymore because these people will never get a loan if the loaning company does not see any capability of the person to pay. More or less the loanee have the capability to pay because there is a source of income attached to their application like their daily jobs. This gambler may just don't have patience to wait for his salary that is why he loaned money for gambling.
Yeah, make sense that their main resource is just their salary and they're allowed to loan based on how much they're earning. And when they've got no money anymore, that's how they're resolving their issue of having no money by taking a loan. But that's not even solving a problem instead, it's making a new one.
That's a common mistake we do see from the addicted gamblers and they will only realize it when they're already done or once they look at how much money they have borrowed to gamble. Very unwise move as we can see from them but that's what they think is a best move for them to keep on track with their gambling activities. Soon, it's not just all about borrowing but also with the potential of selling everything they own and the assets that they have if they will still be caught having no emotional control.
I agree, it is really unwise to gamble with the loan money. There are lots to lose here since when loaning, we need to pay for the interest and the amount we loaned. Then playing on gambling platform and losing them all simply means our next payday is already committed. This will bring us financial shortage and the start of headache for us.
It is a reason why I don't take any loan just for gambling. If I wanna have fun, it's very simple and I don't use any loaned money but my personal money whether it's for recreational activities like gambling or if I want to earn some as I gamble. But typically, when I gamble, I make sure that I'll just have to lose that money eventually.
