First of all it must be a risk because if you lose the games now then there may be money crunch or confusion within ourselves. I think one should not resort to loan for any gambling because losing in gambling will lead to financial crisis and may put a lot of pressure on you for loan which will damage your life.

However, partnership should not be used in terms of gambling because your partner may not accept the amount of loss.
